ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
JULY 2, 2001
Bill Morris from Decision Resources made a presentation of the results of the recent phone survey
conducted in Rosemount between April 24 and May 18 The average response took 18 minutes
and the longest conversation was two hours and 16 minutes. There have been three surveys
conducted. The first survey was fourteen years ago in 1987, then again in 1997 and currently in 2001.
Comparisons have been made with the 1997 survey. The summary pointed out that citizens
remained very pleased with their community. The residents want to maintain the small town
ambience but seek more retail business establishments and job producing opportunities. Parks and
Recreation facilities scored very high. City services were rated good.
Mississippi River Greenway Strategic Plan
Parks Recreation Director Schultz introduced Tom Lewanski from the Friends of the Mississippi
and Bruce Chamberlain from Hoisington Koegler Group who gave a presentation showing the
landscape design and concept to keep the quality of life in natural and rural ecological life.
Greenways are privately or publicly owned corridors of open space which often follow natural land
or water features and which are primarily managed to protect and enhance natural resources. Schultz
suggested that this be considered with the Parks Master Plan process. Council asked about funding
and future governing of the organization. Friends of the Mississippi is the non profit organization
that would provide leadership. A steering committee with two members from each community would
work with voluntary landowners to improve land conditions.
MOTION by Klassen to accept A RESOLUTION TO ACKNOWLEDGE AS A CONCEPT

$285,000.
Interim City Engineer Weiss noted that the signal lights did not need replacement at this time so
MnDOT would not cost share that and the City has decided not to make the signal light
improvements now. Weiss noted that the trees in this section would be replaced but no additional
trees would be added. Sidewalks will be replaced.
Council Member Riley noted that she does not oppose these improvements to Highway 3, however
she feels uncomfortable moving ahead without the consent of the businesses involved. Riley
suggested looking at the total vision with in -put from the businesses and residents, so support from
them could be reached. This would also keep the City from possibly spending money twice for any
changes in the future.

DISCUSSION
ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
JULY 11, 2001
Rosewood Mixed Use Concept PUD
Development Director Parsons presented Progress Land Company's proposal for a 107 -acre for
commercial, business park, church, and residential with 54 single family units and 92 townhouse
units. Discussion ensued on the City's wishes to accept the increased non residential uses and
whether the housing mix meets the intent and requirements of the comprehensive plan. This may
necessitate an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.
Comprehensive Plan Amendment for Sewer Capacity
City Planner Pearson received correspondence from Met Council indicating a need to amend the
Comprehensive Plan regarding the sanitary sewer diversion to the Empire Waste Water
Treatment Plant. At issue was the met Council's concern that more effluent was being sent to
Empire than was indicated in the 2020 Comprehensive Plan. The amendment process was
suggested to acknowledge the overage and establish a contingency plan to divert some of the
effluent back to the Rosemount Waste Water Treatment Plant in case of capacity issues at
Empire. A public hearing is required. It will be held following an informational meeting the
week of July 16 to 20. Staff is suggesting that a moratorium on development may be needed until
sewer capacity is supported.
Community Development Director Parsons reported that the amount of waste water flowing to
the Empire plant was recorded incorrectly. Parsons noted that comprehensive plan amendments
may be needed for the area where HWY 3 is being realigned near 160` Street and the Sunrise
Lumber property and the McMenomy -Hertog property may need to be rezoned.
City Hall Expansion Remodel Project
Update and Furniture
Community Development Director Parsons presented report by Amcon Construction
Management comparing budgeted costs to actual costs for remodeling and expanding the
Rosemount City Hall. Greg Stotko of Amcon attended to answer questions. Change orders were
recommended increasing the budgeted amount to S2,079,876.
Human Resource Director Graff supplied Council with an inventory of current City Hall
fumiture and recommendations of retention or replacement of it. By reusing some of the
furniture, the City could save $12,027. However, it was noted that the professional and uniform
appearance would be slightly diminished.

Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a regular meeting of the Rosemount City Council was duly
held on Tuesday, July 17, 2001, at 7:30 p.m. at the Rosemount Community Center at 13885 South
Robert Trail, in the Banquet Room.
Mayor Busho called the meeting to order with Council Members Klassen, Cisewski, and Riley. Also
in attendance were City Administrator Burt, City Attorney LeFevere, Community Development
Director Parsons, City Planner Pearson, Police Chief Kalstabakken, Parks R. Recreation Director
Schultz, and Interim City Engineer Weiss. New employee Charlie O'Brien, Code Enforcement
Official, was introduced to City Council.
The meeting was opened with the Pledge of Allegiance. One item was added to the Consent
Agenda, Item 6.o. Temporary On -Sale 3.2% Malt Liquor License for KVAMS.
Public Comment
Laxman S. Sundae, 2055 120 Street, presented a petition to Council with 88 signatures requesting
that the street easement in the recommended action for Item 7.a. be deleted. The petition signatures
were from neighbors to the SchlukebieriAltendorfer land purchase. Sundae did not believe that
proper notice was given for the public hearing.
Terry McMenomy, 6659 Falstaff Rd, Woodbury, is a part owner with his two sisters of an 80 acre
parcel near Schlukebier's. McMenomy asked "where would a road be plausible on his land The
parcel has a lot of wetlands and would be land locked if no road were provided for.
Aina Wiklund, 12110 Bacardi Avenue, requested alternative ways to gain entrance. Wikend said this
has caused life -long distress and taken her privacy away.
Chris and Lynda Schlukebier, 4750 Arbor Drive, Eagan, who are was buying Joe Altendorfer's
home, commented that the requested easement was a surprise at the last meeting and that this road
would only be 20 feet away from his house which encroaches on his privacy.
John McMenomy, 1283 135 Street West, stated that the Altendorfer property was properly handled
when comparing it with the Comprehensive Plan. The Plan states on page 116 that the road must fit
the natural lay of the land. The land seems to be land locked.
Ed Weissenger, Marie Avenue, South St. Paul, is an attorney for the Altendorfer's. Altendorfers are
not in favor of the easement request by the City.
Terry McMenomy requested that a feasibility study be conducted in order to preserve the wetlands.
McMenomy was concerned about his property being land locked. Also the new landowners,
Schlukebiers, have already done soil testing and determined where to place their house.
There was no Response to Public Comment.

JULY 17, 2001
Proposed TH 52/117 Street Interchange Construction and United Pacific Rail Grade
Separation Municipal Layout
Interim City Engineer Bret Weiss introduced the engineers from Minnesota Department of
Transportation, Ron Rauch le and Sue Kline. Rauchle gave a presentation of the proposed layout and
changes to TH 55 and affected streets and rail lines. A State report from 1993 indicated that a grade
separation interchange would improve the traffic and safety. The rail crossing just north of 117
Street will have a grade -over the top of the railroad and reconstruct the railroad line underneath TH
52. Most of the right in/right -out accesses will be closed. The rail switch on the north side of Koch
Refining will need to be moved to the south side of their property. Also, major utilities will have to
be moved to allow the interchange. The project will start in 2002 and be completed in the fall of
2003. The funding will be from the State of Minnesota and the various utility companies. The State
will purchase any easement or property needed. Interim City Engineer Weiss is working with
MnDOT to coordinate the improvements, especially near 140` Street and County Road 42. The East
Side Watermain Project will not be affected by this project as the water lines were buried deep
enough to avoid any relocation under TH 52. Mayor Busho emphasized the need for cross -arms at
the railroad crossings and Weiss responded that MnDOT and the railroad will qualify criteria for
safety. City Planner Pearson noted a public meeting on this study for 52/55 Highway Realignment at
CR 42 This meeting will be held at the Pleasant Hills Library in Hastings on August 2, 2001
between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
JULY 17, 2001
City Planner Pearson presented the request of Chris Lynda Schlukebier for rezoning from
Agriculture to Rural Residential land use. The two lots fomued need access to Bacardi Avenue
causing the Planning Commission to recommend an easement to be platted for streets and utilities. A
variance process was followed due to hardship caused by the multiple wetlands. The variance
required notice to neighbors within 350 feet and this was extended to one quarter of a mile -around
the property. The City Attorney stated that the subdivision extraction would not be an
unconstitutional taking. Pearson noted that requiring a feasibility study prior to a development
request would be unusual. Interim City Engineer Weiss noted that a Transportation Study is planned
for in 2003 which will identify major corridors, wetlands and topography information that will be
helpful when platting roads.
City Planner Pearson emphasized that this easement may never have to be used as a public street. If
future development occurs in such a way that the easement is not used, it could be vacated with a
request from the owners.
Mayor Busho requested that item 4. on the resolution include utilities, not only street easement.
Council consensus agreed.

an Opportunity Grant through the Livable Communities Demonstration Program. This grant would
be used for the downtown re- development plan in the amount of $30,000 matching funds. If the
planning process would change and the funds could not be used, then the City would not be obligated
to proceed.

SPECIAL MEETING
JULY 31, 2001
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof the Special Meeting was held on July 31, 2001, at
6:30 p.m. in Room 221 of the Community Center.
Mayor Busho called the meeting to order with Councilmembers Cisewski, Klassen, and
Riley present. Staff members in attendance were City Administrator Burt, Community
Development Director Parsons, Finance Director May, Police Chief Kalstabakken, Parks
Recreation Director Schultz and Fire Department Chief Aker.
Budget Discussion
A. City Administrator Burt presented information on additional staffing needs in 2002.
The need for the positions is as a result of growth and keeping up with service.
B. Burt presented information on Comparable Worth, Stanton Market data and
recommended pay ranges for non -union positions for 2002. In addition, Butt, showed
information related to the Minneapolis Cost of living and recommended a 3.75% market
rate adjustment for employees in 2002.
C. Burt presented information on a proposed change to the Fire Fighters pension.
The proposal is to change the current system that would pay the firefighters a per call
stipend and their pension would be increased over the next ten years to max the firefighters
out on the amount they would receive as pension. Rosemount's current system allows a
firefighter to receive a pension of 52,800 per year for each year of service with vesting at
10 years. The proposal would be to bring the firefighters to the maximum of $5,500 and
remain at the max as the system is increased in lieu of salary. The rational for this change
is if the retirement benefits are increased the hope is the average firefighter will stay with
the department longer. The true increase to the overall budget for this benefit is $24,600
since $28,000 was removed from general govemment.
D. Line item changes for each budget was discussed.
Burt explained that because of the late ending date of the legislature and all of the changes,
staff is not able to determine the impact of the changes at this time. As further information
becomes available it will be presented to City Council for discussion and further direction.
Revenues and continued discussion of the proposed budget will be held on August 15,
2001 and the next regular scheduled work session.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:20 p.m.

hardship shown. The sign is larger and higher than allowed by 50 The applicant claims that the
sign cannot be seen from Highway 52. Sam .Anderson of Bay Bay Transfer and Mike Lawrence
of Signcrafters reasoned that the purpose of the sign would be to recruit truck drivers who drive on
Highway 52. Lawrence had a table on readable size at certain distances which showed that the
allowed sign would not be readable from Highway 52 and because they do not have land adjacent to
the highway, a larger sign is needed. Council noted that the Highway 52 Corridor should be
examined for changes in the sign ordinance. Council consensus was that it would be premature to
allow this sign now. Mayor Busho opened the hearing for public comment and there was none from
the audience.

Crestone Avenue and Cimarron Avenues. It has been defined with three restaurants and two strip
malls. The landscape requirement is set at 125% of the minimum requirements. Neighbors to the
north are concerned with headlight invading their privacy, so the grading has been lowered and
landscaping should help to screen lights.

September 8` Interviews will be held at the Rosemount Community Center.
Commercial Zoning District
City Planner Pearson presented proposed revisions to the Commercial Districts in the
Zoning Ordinance. Further discussion of the Commercial Districts resulted in the
following direction to staff:
1. Hotels and B&B's shall be separated by a minimum of 300 feet from churches and
schools in the Traditional Downtown Overlay District. This does not apply to the
Dakota County Technical College. However, the Council may have to consider an
amendment to the liquor licensing standards to deal with DCTC.
2. "Educational Services" will be a conditional use in the C -1, Community Commercial
District. The list will include: arts crafts, dance and self defense. Staff will work on
"similar" language.
This item will be on Tuesday's Council meeting agenda.
Sidewalk Policy
Parks and Recreation Director Schultz presented background information regarding
process for reviewing of sidewalk development plans. Currently no written policy for
sidewalk review exists. Mayor Busho outlined the process as she understood it to be.
Council Member Cisewski requested that direction to staff regarding the Sidewalk Policy
include developing a formal policy which would outline upkeep, maintenance, and
replacement. Councilmember Klassen said that the underlying principle for the policy is
that neighborhoods should be connected. A policy will be drafted by Parks and Recreation
Director Schultz and then brought back to Council for further review.
Boulevard Plantings
Parks and Recreation Director Schultz presented background information regarding the
question of how the City deals with boulevard trees. Councilmember Edwards asked for
development of a policy that absolves the City of liability. Council also stated that if the
width of the right of way along the boulevard is wide enough to provide for tree health
then this is acceptable. However, if the right of way is too narrow to assure sustainability,
trees should be moved back into the resident's lawn. The policy should also indicate who
is responsible for costs incurred if the tree dies. A policy will he drafted by Community
Development staff and then brought back to Council for further review.
Proposed 2002 Budget
Finance Director May presented the revenue side of the proposed 2002 budget. May
indicated that changes in the tax laws this year will make setting the budget very
challenging. Council's deadline for setting the preliminary levy is September 1.5
however. levy limit information from the County will not be forthcoming until after
September 1' If action is not taken at the September 4 Council meeting, then Council
must hold a special meeting in order to satisfy the deadline. There is the possibility that the
City can petition for an extension. but the additional time is limited to 15 -30 days. Council
indicated that they are reluctant to set preliminary numbers until they know what the leery
limit will he. Therefore. Council directed May to follow a dual track: begin a request for
an extension of the September 15 deadline and make plans to hold a special meeting on
September 12 the day of the September Committee of the Whole meeting. if Council
has had the opportunity to review levy limit information.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:50 p.m.

City Attorney LeFevere noted that the Open Meeting Law govems that policy for hiring personnel
be discussed at a regular meeting, not in closed session. The Mayor indicated that the next item
would not be an Executive Closed Session.
Public Works Director Interviews
Human Resource Coordinator Graff reported that the national search for a Public Works Director
had produced two very good candidates. Graff asked if Council would re- consider travel expenses
for those coming for interviews. Neighboring cities have offered this to interested interviewees and it
is very common in business.
It was Council consensus to continue with the interview process as established, with interviews on
September S, 2001 w ithout the benefit of travel expenses. Any negotiations with a specific candidate
should be after the interviews.

The meeting was opened with the Pledge of Allegiance led by Toni Meaden, Cub Food's manager.
Public Comment
Richard Erdrich, 12420 Bacardi Avenue, was unhappy with the change to the hunting ordinance
dividing line which moved to Akron Avenue. Erdrich pointed out two issues; the destruction of
property and public safety. Erdrich noted that buckthorn is taking over the woods leaving less food
for deer. Because of less of their natural food being available, they enter yards and feast on the
landscaping. Erdrich has seen 21 deer in his yard at one time. The other problem is car -deer
accidents. Without any hunting allowed west of Akron Avenue, more deer will be crossing
roadways. Erdrich would like to have a special deer hunt considered.
Mayor Busho noted that the vote for the hunting ordinance change was a 3 -2 vote. These same issues
were considered at that public hearing. Councilmember Klassen noted that if the deer become a
nuisance issue a controlled management hunt could be looked into by the police chief.

Interim City Engineer Weiss reported on the bid opening held Friday, August 31st for City Project
327. This is a cooperative effort with the City and Dakota County so the cost will be split about half
and half. The on -site engineering inspections will be handled by city staff. Staff recommends the
low bidder of McNamara Contracting, Inc in the amount of 5718,575.25.

Resolution Setting 2002 Preliminary Levy
Finance Director May reported that the legislative changes have altered the budget process and
accurate forecasts for next year's revenues and expenditures cannot yet be clearly made. However,
Dakota County must have the levy amount by September 1 7th. Staff recommends the levy amount
be based on the needs for the up corning year rather than levying to the full amount permitted.
Council has discussed the 2002 Preliminary Levy at work sessions on July 31st and August 12th.
May noted that residents should expect to have taxes remain fairly level, however, the cap on market
value of homes has been removed so the base value of homes may rise. City Administrator Burt
reported that the loss of HACA and changes to the LGA (state funding programs) will leave the
cities with fewer revenues. Many cities are choosing to levy to the maximum limit because of the
uncertainty of future legislation. It appears that cities with growth will be Netter off than cities that do
not have further development going on. Council felt comfortable with levying to the amount of our
needs and not setting the levy at the maximum amount.
MOTION by Cisewski to adopt A RESOLUTION SETTING THE PRELIMINARY 2002

Council Member Edwards requested that the word "anticipated" be added to the motion before the
word "needs." Edwards noted that budgets are staffs best guess to expenditures and revenues. Both
the motion maker and the second agreed to this clarification.

6.c. Teamsters Labor Agreement for 2002, 2003
Council Member Klassen asked this item be reviewed in light of the events in New York and
Washington D.C. expecting an economic downturn. If residents are to be impacted then perhaps this
should be reconsidered at a work session to lower the bottom -line for taxpayers.
Mayor Busho noted that three other labor unions have settled already so that good faith negotiations
with the Teamsters should be honored. Busho attended meetings with other city leaders and
Governor Ventura has advised governance to continue with the norm until there is reason to change.
City Administrator Burt noted there really is no way to prepare for war. Burt said his goal was to
have all labor unions accounted for in the budget prior to setting the levy. Council Member Riley
asked if the Teamsters contract costs are included in the 2002 Budget and Burt replied that they are
included in it. Council Member Edwards noted that in Tight of the previous settlements, he would
agree to move forward with this labor agreement. Klassen noted she was concerned with
Rosemount's future economy.

Council Member Klassen noted her concems are the same for this item as the preceding one. Council
consensus was to move forward. The recommendations are based on pay equity compliance,
comparability with other Stanton VI cities, and market rate adjustments as discussed at the July
special meeting.
MOTION by Busho to approve the noted non -union position salary ranges for the year 2002.
Second by Riley. Ayes: Klassen, Cisewski, Busho, Riley, Edwards. Nays: None. Motion carried.
6.j. Approval to Install Stop Signs
City Administrator Burt was concerned about the timing of installing stop signs on Shannon
Parkway at the intersection of Dodd Boulevard. A stop sign would not be installed if only the traffic
warrants are considered. Public safety issues however could justify installing a stop sign. Rather than
set precedence for future policy making, discussion at a work session could help decide what policy
should be developed for installing stop signs. Staff could respond uniformly with proper policy and
City Council would not have to make a decision on individual requests. Klassen noted that signs can
give residents a false sense of security. It has been reported that Shannon Parkway is traveled more
since the Cub Foods store opened and discussion was held as to when would be the best time and if
traffic warrants should be collected again when Dodd Boulevard street improvement is complete.
That project will be completed by October 15, 2001. hnrim City Engineer Weiss was confident that
2
ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
SEPTEMBER 18, 2001
ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
SEPTEMBER 18, 2001
the traffic warrants would not be increased enough to place a stop sign there. Weiss also noted that
the traffic on Shannon Parkway will be slowed by a stop sign. There are about four other
intersections where residents want a stop sign. Consensus was to table this to the Work Session in
October to determine a policy.
6.1. Approval of Installation of School Zone Signs and Change of Speed Limit on Shannon Parkway
Police Chief Kalstabakken requested discussion on this because Minnesota Department of
Transportation (MnDOT) has set the speed limit after a speed survey and Council is not authorized
to change that speed limit unless it is in a school zone. Shannon Parkway speed limit is now at 35
MPH based on a traffic study by MnDOT. Staff recommends lowering that speed with signs that
state "30 MPH when children are present" in the school zones by Shannon Elementary School.
MOTION by Riley to approve the installation of "School Zone" signs on Shannon Parkway near the
borders of Shannon Park Elementary School and to install "30 MPH When Children Are Present" on
Shannon Parkway in the area of the crosswalk located at 137''' Street to the area of the crosswalk
located at Evermoor Parkway in accordance with the Minnesota Uniform Traffic Control Device
Manual. Second by Cisewski. Discussion ensued.
Council Member Klassen suggested that orange flags or some means of added attention be attached
to the new signs to heighten awareness of the traffic change. The Motion's first and second agreed to
this addition to the motion.
MOTION by Riley to approve the installation of "School Zone" signs on Shannon parkway near the
borders of Shannon Park Elementary School and to install "30 MPH When Children Are Present" on
Shannon Parkway in the area of the crosswalk located at 137' Street to the area of the crosswalk
located at Evennoor Parkway in accordance with the Minnesota Uniform Traffic Control Device
Manual and staff will add motorist alert flags. Second by Cisewski. Ayes: Cisewski, Busho. Riley,
Edwards, Klassen. Nays: None. Motion carried.
6.1. Authorization to Consider Change Order for Wicklow (Evermoor) Street Utility
Improvements, City Project 342
Interinn City Engineer Weiss reported that there were no bids received for this development. Weiss
noted the reasons it did not attract any bidders is that it is a small project (10 lots) and this late in the
year most contractors are trying to finish all jobs before winter. Council Member Klassen asked why
that should be a concern of the City. City Attorney LeFevere noted that even in 429 Special
Assessment Projects up to 25% of the project can be added for change orders. This project is not
assessed to residents but is fully paid for by the developer so it is not hurting the public in any way.
Weiss noted that DR Horton is looking at purchasing this for development and so his currant
contractor in Evennoor may be interested in including this development as a change order. Council
was comfortable with this as long as the plat is not changed.

August 14, 2001. Ordinance allows for a 42 inch high fence within this setback area. The variance
was denied since no hardship was shown.
Margaret Jacques, 15130 Dartmoor Court, showed photos of various fences in the near -by area with
fences on corner lots. Most of them appeared to be within the side -yard setbacks. Jacques presented a
drawing of her lot and several neighbors. This showed that her fence would be 97 feet from
Dartmoor Trail with 30 MPH it would take about six car lengths to stop and this would be sufficient.
Also, although six other homes have these privacy fences, no accidents have occurred, showing that
safety has not been jeopardized.
Council Member Klassen noted that the Planning Commission is the 'gate keeper" for the city rules
and regulations. They are required to stick to policy. The City Council has the authority to deviate
from these rules if justified. City Administrator Burt remarked that staff has all done their jobs
colTectly for this. Burt was concerned that many non conforming fences could be legitimized with
policy change. Mayor Busho requested that fences on corner lots be considered at a work session.
The Public Hearing was opened for comments.
Don Nelson, 15156 December Trail, said he is the nearest neighbor to Jacques and is in support of
their privacy fence. Nelson noted that so many neighbors have fences similar to their request that it
would be unfair not to allow this.
Marion Shaw, 15150 Dartmoor Path, supports Jacques fence request. Shaw was concerned about
discrimination regarding application on the fence regulations. Shaw rioted that privacy on a corner
lot is desirable.
MOTION by Edwards to close the Public Hearing for the Variance Appeal for Margaret Jacques,
15130 Dartmoor Court. Second by Klassen. Ayes: Five. Nays: None. Motion carried.

Council Member Cisewski explained that although she understood the Jacques desire for the privacy
fence she could not vote against the ordinance established in good faith by past City Councils.
Mayor Busho called for a five minute recess. The meeting was reconvened at 9:10 p.m.
PUBLIC HEARING: Drainage Utility Easement Vacation Lots 4 -7, Block 1 and Lots 2 -7,
Block 2, Evermoor 3r Addition
Interior City Engineer Weiss reported that this is a "housekeeping" item for Innisfree Development
Plat. The easements were dedicated for public use and will not now be needed, so the land can be

Biscayne Pointe Fourth Addition Concept PUD Review
ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
SEPTEMBER 18, 2001
City Planner Pearson reviewed the request by Thomas Von Bische of Heritage Development who
has been working with staff and the Planning Commission to design a single- family development of
about 68 lots. Sewer and water will be available due to the placement of St. Joseph's Catholic
Church and Educational Center next to this parcel. Pearson noted that the street alignment is hard to
determine without a transportation study for this area. Cisewski noted it is not up to staff or the
Planning Commissioners to design or give suggestions for a concept plan. Discussion was held
regarding if this should be tabled and if there was a 60 day vile in effect. The consensus was that the
presented concept plan should be denied with findings of fact.
MOTION by Edwards to direct staff to prepare findings of fact in support of denial of the concept
PUD for Biscayne Pointe Fourth Addition. Second by Klassen. Ayes: Edwards, Klassen, Cisewski,
Busho, Riley. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Mayor Busho requested that when the contract for a City Engineer is established, an East -Side
Transportation Study should be conducted.
Amendment to Driving Parking Regulations, City Ordinance 8 -2
Police Chief Kalstabakken presented a winter parking ban to facilitate the safe and efficient removal
of snow from city streets by the Public Works staff. Prohibiting parking on city streets during the
early morning hours should result in fewer vehicles being parked on the street so fewer snow bird
tags will be issued. Many communities in the metropolitan area have adopted seasonal parking
restrictions. City Attorney LeFevere recommended clarifying the two inch snow fall as "snowfall,
wind or other weather condition has resulted in an accumulation of snow of two inches (2 or more
so that it is easy to enforce and easy for residents to determine. Odd even parking was considered but
judging from Mitmeapolis it seemed to be too difficult to educate residents to comply with. City
Administrator Burt noted that snow plowing typically begins in the early morning hours in order to
have the collector streets open when residents are on their way to work. This will be the First
Reading of the Ordinance Amendment which states the following:
Seasonal Parking Restrictions: No person shall park a vehicle or permit it to stand upon any
public street, highway or alley during the following times:
1. between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. between November 1 and April 1 of
each calendar year.
2. at any time after a snowfall, wind or other weather condition has resulted in an
accumulation of snow of two inches (2 or more in depth on the public street,
highway or alley until the street, highway or alley is plowed curb to curb.

Staff could provide a "hot line" recording in order for residents to check if a snow emergency is
declared in Rosemount or not. Notice of the parking restrictions will be placed in the water bill
newsletter. This will be considered again on the Consent Agenda at the next City Council meeting.
Announcements
Mayor Busho reviewed the regular meetings for the up corning month. There will be a Vermillion

REGULAR MEETING
OCTOBER 16, 2001
Member Riley noted that there is an association which will help to retain the home value. The
commercial area and next to it will not be developed with this project. Any exception areas
would have to go through the Planning Commission for approvals. Access points were discussed.
City Council Member Klassen had concerns with the lack of planning for access points to the
exception area and commercial area, and for this reason would vote no on the motion. The
alignment of streets and placement of houses would allow for further street connections to the
west if needed. Eight conditions were placed on their resolution approval which Progressive
Land Company said they will comply with.
Mike Olson, Progressive Land Company, noted that there was no concept plan for the commercial,
church area, or exception lot. Access is not likely to be allowed on CSAH 42. Olson did not think it
appropriate to put housing close to CSAH 42. There is a tree inventory being done on the property
and there will be some ponding on the church site. He plans to give a cash park dedication.
Rick Harrison, explained the housing types. Bay homes have the parking in the rear with the front of
the house facing the street. These homes will be 1200 to 2000 square feet and cost front S 180,000 to
S220.000. An association will handle the maintenance. This type of home has been built in
Hutchinson. Rogers, and Hanover. Minnesota.
Council Member Riley noted that she liked the concept of the bay homes and thought there would be
v alue there for buyers.
MOTION by Busho to adopt A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE CONCEPT PLANNED
UNiT DEVELOPMENT FOR PROGRESS LAND COMPANY, INC. No second was applied.
The motion died.
City Planner Pearson noted that the developer has satisfied the regulations of the comprehensive
guide plan. If they change a significant part, they must apply for an amendment.
Council discussed the railroad noise and safety, Greif Brothers noise, and the land use issue. The
zoning was changed to residential when the removal of the railroad spur was planned, but the spur
was not removed. Riley suggested that an amendment to the comprehensive plan might be in order
for the hest use of the land. City Council Member Klassen had concerns with the lack of planning
for access points to the exception area and commercial area, and for this reason would vote no on the
motion.

Associated Wood Products, Set Public Hearing, Dec. 18, 2001
Community Development Director Parsons reviewed the request from Associated Wood Products,
Inc. to have the City of Rosemount sponsor a loan to the company with funds from the Minnesota

Investment Fund, which is operated by the Minnesota Department of Trade Economic
Development. The State requires that cities do a formal loan review or business credit analysis prior
to submitting an application to the State. The Port Authority recommends that the application be
reviewed by the City Attorney and any costs be paid by Associated Wood Products. This loan is to
support local economic efforts by allowing the city to keep the first S100,000 in payments. This
business will generate about 20 jobs in Rosemount.
Council consensus was to move forward with the application, but not set the public hearing until
after any forthcoming inforniation is reviewed.

Ayes: Edwards, Klassen, Cisewski, Busho, Riley. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Item 6.h. Accept Funds and Authorize Expenditure from Donation Account for

Council Member Edwards had concerns with the policy in place, specifically referring to how to
accept and use the donations. Mayor Busho noted that this has been discussed at work sessions and
this item should move forward.
MOTION by Edwards to table Item 6.h. for discussion at a worksession. Second by Klassen.
Discussion ensued. Ayes: Klassen, Cisewski, Busho, Edwards. Nays: Riley. Motion carried.
Item 6.1. Authorize Feasibility Report for Connemara Trail Extension, City Project 330
Council Member Klassen asked why 429 debt would be used with this project. City Administrator
Burt responded that it was not appropriate in this case to assess the whole project to the developer,
St. Joseph's Catholic Church, because this extension has been in the city plans for years and it will
improve the east -west traffic flow. The City has not requested any 429 debt in over a year and staff is
in favor of this application. If the feasibility report brings out information that would change staff's
recommendation there would be opportunity to do that. Evermoor would be assessed 100% for the
west end portion, the golf course, manufactured home park, and St. Joseph's Catholic Church for the
east portion. Klassen asked if the extension would be completed in 2002 and staff responded
affirmatively.
MOTION by Klassen to adopt A RESOLUTION ORDERING A FEASIBILITY REPORT
FOR THE CONNEMARA TRAIL EXTENSION (FROM SHANNON PARKWAY EAST OF
BISCAYNE AVENUE), CITY PROJECT 330. Second by Riley. Ayes: Cisewski, Busho, Riley,
Edwards, Klassen. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Preliminary Plat Revision for "Washington Heights" Outlot C, McNamara Addition
City Planner Pearson reviewed the KFC application for an additional driveway that leads directly to
the fast food site in the northwest corner of Outlot C. Staff does not agree with this request because
that driveway is only 40 feet from Claret Avenue Traffic flow would be stack between the driveway
and the intersection. Staff recommends aligning the driveway past the lot line requiring access
easements for KFC. Angie Wells represented KFC from Ohio. Wells agreed to the change and
thanked staff for their awesome job finding a solution. Staff recommended denying the original
request and further negotiations would continue with KFC.
MOTION by Edwards to adopt A RESOLUTION DENYING THE PRELIMINARY PLAT
REVISION BASED UPON FINDINGS OF FACT. Second by Riley. Ayes: Busho, Riley,
Edwards. Klassen, Cisewski. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Traffic Signing Standards Policy
Police Chief Kalstabakken presented a policy regarding placement of traffic control devices. This
policy will clarify the City's procedures for determining placement of traffic control signs and
signals in a uniform way. The policy follows the standards and recommendations of the Minnesota
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and focuses on public safety.
MOTION by Klassen to adopt City Policy PS 1: Traffic Signing Standards. Second by Edwards.
Ayes: Riley, Edwards, Klassen, Cisewski, Busho. Nays: None. Motion carried.
SKB Interim Use Permit Modification
City Planner Pearson introduced a team of representatives for SKB Environmental: Rick O'Gara,
Mike Fullerton, Bill Keagan, and John Domke. SKB was established in 1992 and modified its
Interim Use Permit in 1997 for construction of a demolition cell. Their current request is to increase
the capacity of the overall Waste Management lot by utilizing the gaps between the existing cells
which would give it a more natural look hill look rather than four pyramid shapes. The IUP now
allows for 200,000 cubic yards and the expanded amount is 5,750,000 cubic yards. Council Member
Klassen noted that this should be handled like a zoning amendment and allow for a public hearing.
Council Member Edwards also believed this should require a zoning ordinance change first. then
consider SKB's request. Pearson noted that hazardous waste is not allowed anywhere on this site.
Rick O'Gara, President of SKB gave a presentation with models showing the change this would
make for the end use. Additional landscaping would be incorporated and top soil 4 to 12 feet deep
allowing for large trees to be planted. O'Gara was asked about traffic which he said would increase
185 trucks per day from 150 to 25 trucks now delivering waste. Access would change to improve
safety. Council Member Cisewski asked about this being similar to a "transfer station" which was
denied two years ago. O'Gara noted that all loads are required to be identified and reported to Dakota
County. The Environment Protection Agency keeps records of all calls and the disposal process. The
liners are thicker than requirements call for and the leachate will be hauled away.

MOTION by Busho to direct staff to start the process to amend the zoning ordinance for the Waste
Management District and get further detailed information for the Interim Use Permit. No second.
Motion died. Discussion ensued.
MOTION by Edwards to deny the resolution amending the Interim Use Permit for SKB. Second
by Klassen. Ayes: Klassen, Cisewski, Busho, Riley, Edwards. Nays: None. Motion carried
City Administrator Burt suggested that this discussion be continued until the zoning ordinance can
be amended, about 30 to 35 days. Additional information should be available then from the state and
the county.
Council Member Klassen noted that she was opposed to this amendment. Klassen said she was
against incinerator ash several years ago and maintains that sentiment. Klassen asked who would be
responsible when the liners wear out in 2038? Would the city have liability then? Klassen felt there
were too many questions with out answers.
Mayor Busho said that SKB has had four different owners since its beginning. Busho noted that SKB
is the most responsible of all the owners. Busho said she would support a zoning ordinance
amendment for SKB.
Council Member Cisewski said she was uncomfortable with the huge volume being requested.
Council Member Riley noted that this was already a permitted use and the area cannot be magically
removed.
MOTION by Edwards to move the agenda. Second by Klassen. Discussion occurred. Ayes:
Edwards, Klassen. Nays: Cisewski, Busho, Riley. Motion failed.
Council Member Edwards said the hour was late and he "moved the agenda" to shorten the meeting.

the next item on the agenda would be considered.
MOTION by Busho to direct staff to go to the Planning Commission to review the Waste
Management District ordinance, continue to gather more detail and review the Interim Use Permit
conditions for SKB. Second by Riley. Ayes: Busho, Riley, Cisewski. Nays: Edwards, Klassen.

Evermoor Cable Television
Bob Vose city attorney from Kennedy Graven presented the history of the applicant's request
and noted the difficulties of a limited area franchise. Vose explained that the developer has now
found an additional partner and they are interested in a competitive cable franchise. Vose
explained both the federal and state requirements for a franchise. Council requested that this item
be place on a Council Agenda for action.
Budget
May presented information on the impact of the budget on individual tax statements for 2002.
The examples showed a reduction in taxes even with increases to market values.
Chief Kalstabakken updated Council on Dakota County Technical College (DCTC) request for a
hill-time police officer at the college. DCTC has indicated they will pay all costs associated with
an officer assigned to the college. Staff will continue to negotiation with DCTC and bring it back
to City Council.
The CIP was discussed. The 2002 CIP will be presented as part of the 2002 budget. Burt
indicated the need to focus on the streets CIP in future years. The City constructs 2.5 to 3 miles
of road each year but only reconstructs .5 mile of road each year. Over the next few years
increasing the amount of fiends in the street CIP will be evaluated.
Detached Townhomes
Detached townhomes were discussed because of concerns that the City is not getting enough
open space or other considerations in return for the option. City Planner Pearson explained that
detached townhomes have typically been used on property that does not easily support standard
R -1 Single Family Detached housing. Council Member Klassen expressed her frustration that
the developers are not providing substantial open space in return.
The direction provided to staff was to ensure that the developers provide more open space and
other amenities as trade -offs for the allowance of detached townhomes.

Additional information was provided to update the bid results for the Bonds, Series 200ID and

Public Comment
Mayor Busho explained the process for public comments. There were no comments made.
Response to Public Comment
Mayor Busho noted that staff had done a great job of researching the recreational vehicle (RV)
parking topic presented by residents at the last meeting. Busho noted that the parking regulation
is not new, however staff has been directed to enforce all code violations throughout the city.
This direction was taken following a citizen survey where residents indicated there was room for
improvement on code enforcement. On March 6, 2001 the RV parking ordinance was actually
relaxed from 10 foot side setbacks to 5 foot setbacks in order to make more lots suitable for
sideyard parking.
Code Enforcement Official O'Brien explained his process of notification. O'Brien contacts the
resident or business, explains with handouts what is expected, and explains the amount of time
the resident has to bring the violation into compliance. Residents are often not happy about the
information and often the time requirement for compliance can be negotiated. Paving surfaces
can't always he done in colder months. Up to three letters are sent, each allowing ten days for
compliance. After that time a citation would be issued requiring a court date.
Council Member Riley restated that the Ordinance restricts the parking of recreational vehicles
on a paved surface on the side or rear yard of the home. Riley felt the ordinance should be
reviewed again at a work session to allow seasonal parking in the driveway. The length of time
accepted for parking an RV in the driveway is 24 hours. Often 24 hours is not reasonable for
parking in your driveway when it is the appropriate season to use RV's. The City of Burnsville
allows parking in front of the home seasonally. Staff was directed to recommend some changes
at the up coming work session if there is enough time for preparation; if not, it can be handled at
the January work session.

Minea Concept Residential Planned Unit Development
City Planner Pearson reviewed the single- family residential development on property that is
north of the east half of the Centex Bloomfield development, across the railroad tracks and along
the south side of 135 Street West. The property is one -half mile east of Biscayne Avenue and
on the outer edge of the current Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). It is one quarter mile
east of the St. Joseph's Catholic Church site. The street alignment is inconsistent with the
planning studies done for Connemara Trail and Parks and Recreation policies. The developer is
proposing a below grade rail crossing and did not wish to change the street alignment.
Engineering consultants have suggested an above grade rail crossing. Council Member Klassen
pointed out that Connemara Trail is not in the current feasibility report. Yet other developments
have already been designed around the proposed alignment. The railroad crossing is at city
expense.
Craig Minea, the applicant and property owner, complained about the alignment of Connemara
Trail which causes much of the land parcel to become unusable with the existing pipe line
easement. Also the ponding area requested by the City is not necessary. Minea lived on this
property from 1970 to 1984 and recalls that the land was all farmed then without any ponding
occurring. Minea stated that if the new developments are causing more storm water run-off, the
city should pay for easements for it. Minea noted that the overpass proposed is five stories high
and stated that it would look out of place in this area. Minea also stated that he is willing to
negotiate with staff. John Uban, Minea's consultant, said we need to work together to find a
solution pleasing to both parties.
City Council consensus was that more negotiations would improve the future plans. City staff is
governed by set policies and regulations, but the Planned Unit Development does allow for some
flexibility. Mayor Busho noted that this development is somewhat premature because the
infrastructure is not in place, so there are more considerations involved. Minea was encouraged
to work with staff.
City Administrator Burt requested that the next meeting be delayed until the city receives the
east -side transportation study and the public safety study (regarding another fire station).
MOTION by Klassen to adopt A RESOLUTION DENYING THE CONCEPT
RESIDENTIAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT BASED UPON FINDINGS OF
FACT. Second by Edwards. Ayes: Riley, Edwards, Klassen, Cisewski, Busho. Nays: None.
Motion carried.
Mining Moratorium Extension
City Planner Pearson reviewed the initial mining moratorium adopted June 20, 2000 and
effective until December 20, 2001 unless amended. Staff recommends extending the moratorium

Industrial District will be heavily influenced by the TH 52/55 CSAH 42 transportation system
study, which is expected to be prepared in July 2002.

Waste Management and Enclosures
Staff identified a problem with the current ordinance that requires all commercial properties to
have dumpster enclosures made from the same materials as the primary building. The problem is
the hardship it presents to older commercial properties and staff suggested that wood or chain
link with slates would be appropriate. Council agreed and directed staff to make the appropriate
changes, and also check with haulers for standards on dumpsters so not to create other
operational hardships to the haulers and businesses.
The session on residential containers was discusses and Council asked staff to revise this session
to follow current practice. Staff will make the changes and bring them back to a future work
session.

where appointed the trust should be reviewed.
Staff was directed to ask the City Attorney to prepare a response to the following at the Council
meeting on December 18` Clarify if the existing trusties could continue to distribute fund even
if their terms had expired. Can the terns of the development agreement be renegotiated as part of

SKB Environmental Interim Use Permit Renewal
ROSEIMIOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
DECEMBER 18, 2001
City Planner Pearson presented the Interim Use Permit OUP) renewal for the operation of the
landfill on TH55 or 13425 Courthouse Boulevard. This has a five -year renewal term. There are
no modifications requested. Planning Commission held a public hearing and there were no public
comments. The Planning Commission recommended the IUP for SKB Environmental be
approved.
Council Member Riley noted that no violations or complaints have been reported, so she saw no
reason to delay the SKB interim use permit renewal.
MOTION by Riley to authorize the execution of the Interim Use Permit renewal agreement for
SKB Environmental subject to final approval by Dakota County and the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency, and City Attorney review. Second by Busho. Discussion ensued about a
friendly amendment to the motion.
Council Member Klassen reviewed the Committee of the Whole discussion regarding the SKB
Trust Fund. Klassen asked City Attorney LeFevere about the Development Commitment
Agreement with SKB and if a contingency could be included with the motion for changes to the
Trust Fund? LeFevere noted that the reporting required by the Development Agreement is
separate from the interim use permit renewal and SKB is not responsible for what the Trust Fund
board members decide. LeFevere cautioned that the suggested changes to the De‘eiopment
Agreement for Article 21 includes more than references to the Trust Fund. The tipping fees are
now more than the minimum set by the Minnesota State Statutes. LeFevere did note that a
separate motion could be made or further discussion could be entertained at a work session.
Mr. O'Gara, representing SKB Environmental, said that his company has done a good job with
their landfill operations. O'Gara said it is not appropriate to tie up the renewal of the IUP, but he
would be willing to discuss the Trust Fund at a work session.
Council Member Klassen asked City Attomey LeFevere if the expired member terms affect the
existence of the Trust Fund? LeFevere said a court review would look at the intent of the Trust
Fund Agreement. In the past, commission temis were left vacant until it could be filled and the
commission continued. Some conmrissions dictate that a vacancy is made the day after the tent
is completed. A District Court could determine the outcome if needed. However, most likely the
court would rule that policy reasons that the commission should continue.
Council Member Klassen noted that she did not want to cause SKB to cease or cause the Trust
Fund to cease; however, the funds available should remain within the community more.
The motion on the floor was repeated. MOTION by Riley to authorize the execution of the
Interim Use Pennit renewal agreement for SKB Envirommental subject to final approval by
Dakota County and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and City Attorney review. Second

by Busho. Ayes: Cisewski, Busho, Riley. Nays: None. Present: Edwards, Klassen. Motion
carried.
City Planner Pearson noted that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and Dakota County
Environmental Management will now review this approval for SKB Environmental.
MOTION by Klassen to direct staff to examine the SKB Trust Fund Agreement per tonight's
discussion and the work session discussion of December 12, 2001. Second by Cisewski. Ayes:
Klassen, Cisewski, Edwards. Nays: Riley. Present: Busho. Motion carried.
Points made for review of the SICB Trust Fund Agreement include such items as terms, reporting
criteria, cap amount of city's obligation, and language clean -up. The Trust Attorney should also
be consulted on appointment methods.
Sewage System Maintenance
Community Development Director Parsons explained that the amendment to the Individual
Sewage Treatment System (ISTS) allows the city to move to a three -year cycle coinciding with
Dakota County's schedule. This also will require the city to begin tracking all related data
County Ordinance 1 13 requires each ISTS to be pumped every three years and a maintenance
permit is issued within 30 to 60 days. There are 600 to 700 ISTS's in Rosemount.
Mayor Busho asked about staff involvement and if additional employees will be needed. Parsons
noted that it should not require more staff. The initial setup of the software will need additional
data input, thereafter input will be weekly. This is the first reading of this ordinance amendment,
no action will be taken tonight.
2002 Fee Resolution Annual Review and Updates
City Administrator Burt noted that the storm water fees are higher in Rosemount because we
don't have a river to remove the water. Rosemount needs to look to long term solutions. The
University of Minnesota has a plan to study the impact of storm water in communities. The
Utility Commission has made the five -year plan increase to fees. Park Recreation is increasing
the park rental fees but allowing groups to negotiate set -up and chalk usage.
MOTION by Klassen to approve A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING RATES AND FEES
FOR 2002. Second by Riley. Ayes: Cisewski, Busho, Riley, Edwards, Klassen. Nays: None.
Motion carried.
Mike Kelzen erg Administrative Plat, 12228/238/310 S. Robert Trail
City Planner Pearson presented a solution to two duplexes with non conforming uses at 12225,
12238, and 12310 South Robert Trail. These exist on a single parcel, originating back to 1963
and 1972. The request is based upon splitting the two duplexes into two lots for single-family
use. This would realign the common boundary line with the Gustafson lot and lot area variances

JANUARY 15, 2002

PUBLIC HEARNC: Cable Franchise Application
Mayor Busho reviewed the public hearing process. The Affidavits of Publication and Notice
were on file.
City Administrator Burt presented the application by FTTH (Fiber To The Home) Cable
Franchise. Their plan would bring fiber optics to the whole of Rosemount in 25 years with a five
phase plan and compete with the present cable company, Charter Communications.
City Attorney Robert Vose who specializes in communication utilities, suggested that this
hearing be continued in order to review and detemine the agreement terms and company
qualifications: legal, financial. and technical. More detail is needed of the plan phases such as: is
development triggered by densities or will it be required for every home. And, the current cable
company, Charter should be requested to comment on this proposal. State statutes require that an
area must be served that is proportional with respect to the incumbent.
City Administrator Burt noted that Charter Communications has developed by density and has
no plan for rural Rosemount. FTTH plans to build out to the whole city.
The applicant, Homer Thompkins III, President of FTTH Communications, L.L.C. and his equal
partner, Bob Pitney from Texas wish to bring advanced fiber optics to Rosemount. This would
put Rosemount in the forefront of community development not only in the Twin Cities but
throughout the state and nationally. The benefits would be the ability to bring ultra -high quality
video and unparalleled broadband access. Also, it would open up home business opportunities,
better electronic access to health care, educational training, and government services.
Council Member Riley asked if city hall would be included in phase one. Thompkins answered
yes. Riley also inquired if the school district will be included. Thompkins said they are prepared
to offer I.S.D. 196 that option in phase 1.
Mayor Busho asked how this would affect the street and development? City Administrator Burt
replied that the Right -Of -Way Ordinance would need to be looked at to consider fees and
restoration.
Mayor Busho opened the Public Hearing for public comment. There were no comments.
MOTION by Busho to continue the Public Hearing for a Cable Communication Franchise to a
later date at which time necessary questions can be answered. Second by Edwards. Ayes:
Cisewski, Busho, Riley, Edwards. Nays: None. Motion carried.

Empire Plant Discharge Pipe
Engineering Consultant Weiss updated City Council on negotiations with Dakota County,
Metropolitan Council, City of Apple Valley, and other agencies wish to move the discharge pipe
to a route through Rosemount to the Mississippi River. The cost to Rosemount is now at about
550.000. Easements would need to be obtained. An easement from Model Stone was not
established before new owners took possession so the pipe may have to he relocated to the rear

Plant Discharge Pipe and obtain a new easement. Second by Riley. Ayes: Busho, Riley,
Edwards, Cisewski. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Dakota County Technical College Request for Contracted Police Services
Police Chief Kalstabakken reviewed the request by Dakota County Teciumical College (DCTC) to
have a police officer on their campus during normal school hours to enhance the safety and
security of their staff, faculty and students. DCTC would pay the entire salary for the officer on a
two -year contract, however, they would not pay for the advertising and three-month training
period required to replace the experienced officer they would require. This cost is estimated at
518,000. The Dakota County Sheriff's Dept. would also be able to fill this need but DCTC did
indicate that they would prefer working with Rosemount staff. Council discussed some options
and City Administrator Burt had concerns for the expense due to the State budget shortfall. Staff
was directed to decline DCTC's request at this time, but to let them know that in the future it
maybe beneficial for both the City and DCTC.
Wensmann Homes Concept Residential Planned Unit Development
City Platmer Pearson reviewed the application for a 48 unit senior condominiums in a three -story
building overlooking Wachter Lake. Multiple Family housing is permitted through a Planned
Unit Development (PLID) in the Business Park -4 Zoning District. The building may require a
height variance since 35' is the maximum building height requirement. Wensmann noted the
soffit line is at 30 feet and the peak is probably near 44 feet in height. Mayor Busho drove out to
the site and thought the building footprint fits in well with the natural area. The walking trails
might be able to be linked with Claret East and Heritage Lake trails. Pearson noted that "shared
plans" don't always work, but you have control on the independent project. Council Member
Riley agreed that the Comprehensive Guide Plan zoned this area for Business Park and with
townhomes on both sides of this property; it would seem to he a good blend. If this concept plan
is approved then further details can be worked out in the preliminary plat. Mr. Wensmann
suggested looking at his senior housing project in Farmington on Pilot Knob Road and Euclid
Avenue on the west side of the street.
MOTION by Edwards to adopt A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE CONCEPT FOR
THE WACHTER LAKE SENIOR CONDOMINIUMS. Second by Cisewski. Ayes: Riley,
Edwards, Cisewski, Busho. Nays: None. Motion canicd.

6.q. D.A.R.E. and School Liaison Services Agreement
Mayor Busho acknowledged that the D.A.R.E. Program is one of great benefit to the youth of
Rosemount. However, due to the budget short fall from the State, she wished to review the
process now used to determine cost and time commitment. Police Chief Kalstabakken noted that
negotiations begin in May for the following school year. Mayor Busho requested cost research
results by the March Committee of the Whole. Busho noted she was in favor of the requested
motion.
MOTION by Busho to approve the D.A.R.E. and Police Liaison Services Agreement between
the City of Rosemount and School District 196 for the 2001 2002 school year. Second by
Klassen. Ayes: Riley, Edwards, Klassen, Cisewski, Busho. Nays: None. Motion carried.
PUBLIC HEARNG: Appeal of Board of Appeals Adjustments Action, Allan Voight,
3270 McAndrews Road, owner: Bernard Luken
Mayor Busho reviewed the public hearing process. The Affidavits of Publication and Notice
were on file.
City Plamier Pearson presented the variance request by contractor Allan Voight to the maximum
square footage for buildings, 1200 sq. ft., which was denied by the Planning Commission. The
barn was damaged in a windstorm and then partially removed. The lot is now 6.8 acres with the
original house and outbuildings from a farmstead remaining. The owner, Bernard Luken uses it
for storage of recreational vehicles but does not live there at this time.
Allan Voight, contractor for Bernard Luken, presented photographs of what exists now and
drawings of the renovation. This stnrcture would attach to the barn and add needed support. It
would keep the rural character of the barn with a board on hoard finish. Voight noted that high
school students had been out to see the style of construction used on the barn.
Bernard Luken, owner of the lot, reported that he now lives about two miles away from it. He
paid 520,000 to remove the old milk barn and foundation. Luken noted that when the new
building is finished he could move items from the out buildings into it and then tear down the
pole barn and shed. Eventually, Luken plans to build a new house as well. Luken had hoped the
land could remain zoned Agricultural, but it had been rezoned to Rural Residential about 15
years ago.
Council Member Edwards confirmed that all the assessory buildings are non conforming
because they are either too close to the road or over the square footage requirement. City Planner
Pearson reminded Council they have the authority to grant any variance and can attach
conditions if needed. However, Pearson would be hard pressed to have findings that would
support that decision.

REGULAR MEETING
FEBRUARY 5, 2002
Council Member Klassen noted she liked the idea of saving the barn since it is from a time gone
by. Klassen asked if the damage done by the windstorm was enough that it could have been
repaired rather than torn down? Pearson answered yes, but it still would have required a
variance because of being over the 1200 square footage total.
Mayor Busho opened the Public Hearing for comments from the public. There were no
comments.
MOTION by Edwards to close the Public Hearing for the Appeal of Board of Appeals and
Adjustments Action, Allan Voight, 3270 McAndrews Road. Second by Klassen. Ayes: Five.
Nays: None. Motion carried.
Council noted concern for the use of the buildings as a business in a rural residential area and for
the timing of when the pole barn and shed might be removed. They agreed it would be good to
save the barn, but not under these conditions.
MOTION by Edwards to uphold the decision of the Board of Appeals Adjustments denying
the variance petition because of an inability to meet the findings specified in Section 14.2.G of
the zoning ordinance. Second by Klassen. Ayes: Klassen, Cisewski, Busho, Riley, Edwards.
Nays: None. Motion carried.
Sewage System Maintenance
Community Development Director Parsons reviewed the intent of the changes to the on -site
sewage treatment system regulations. This ordinance amendment was first read to City Council
December 18, 2001. This would change the time frame requirement for ISTS (hrdividual Sewage
Treatment System) maintenance from a two -year cycle to a three -year cycle. This would also
require the licensed pumper to send the record of the maintenance check to the City. This will
improve the turn- around time. Parsons reported that the cost to the City will be minimal. The
existing software can be used, set -up expenses should he about $1.000 and reminder /response
cards would be about $$00 per year. The county and state is already on this three -year cycle.
MOTION by Klassen to adopt an ORDINANCE AMENDING CITY CODE TITLE 9,
CHAPTERS 1 THROUGH 7 RELATED TO BUILDING CODE for maintenance and
operating regulations of individual sewage treatment systems. Second by Cisewski. Ayes:
Cisewski, Busho, Riley, Edwards, Klassen. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Rosemount Market Study
Community Development Director Parsons reported that last summer the City received a grant to
do a market study from Metropolitan Council. This was initiated from the Port Authority,
however, Met Council requires the City approval, so City Council is asked to consider approval
to do this market study. The Livable Community grant needed the market study in order to give
the grant money, this increased the overall cost of the project, but gives the City additional
information to work with. The grant original request was for 515,000, but with the market study
added in it would be S23,000. The City is matching funds so the project would cost 546,000. The
difference of an additional $7,000 would be a critical part of the redevelopment plan for the
downtown area. City Council had several questions about the grant process and the market study

Rezoning St. Joseph /Sunrise Lumber Site
Planning Intern Jones reviewed the City proposed rezoning of the property at 14000 South
Robert Trail. The 2020 Comprehensive Guide Plan has this site zoned for Public Institutional
and staff would prefer that the zoning map was updated. A public hearing was held at the
Platming Commission on January 22, 2002 with the recommendation to rezone it from
Community Commercial —C2 to Public /Institutional P1.
MOTION by Cisewski to adopt AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINACNE B CITY OF

Pursuant to due call and notice thereof the Committee of the Whole Work Session was held on
February 13, 2002, at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall, 2875 145 Street West.
Mayor Busho called the meeting to order with Councilmembers Cisewski and Riley present.
Also present were City Administrator Burt, Community Development Director Parsons,
City Planner Pearson, and Code Enforcement Official O'Brien.
2002 Budget Cuts
Administrator Burt advised the Council of the Governors proposed budget reductions and
presented a plan to accommodate the loss of revenue. Burt indicated that the plan's first priority
was to not affect service levels to residents and next to avoid the lose of staff. His plan identified
the delays in hiring proposed new hires with the exception of the Accounts Payable Clerk. In
addition, the delay of purchasing identified capital equipment in the Capital Improvements
Budget Burt recommended ending the extended hours on Tuesdays and will provide the Council
additional information in the weekly report.
RA' Ordinance
Code Enforcement Official O'Brien reviewed the proposed ordinance amendments which clarify
parking surface and the recommended 24 hour front yard parking changes. Council directed staff
to place this item on the next Council agenda as a first reading of the ordinance amendment
changes.
Waste Container and Waste Enclosure Ordinance
O'Brien presented the proposed ordinance changes. Council directed staff to place this item on
the next Council agenda as a first reading of the ordinance changes.
Power Plants
City Planner Pearson updated the Council on the tentative proposal for a power plant on the east
side of Rosemount. Pearson identified the propose location, north of SKB on the west side of
State Highway 55. He also informed Council of the Comprehensive Plan and zoning ordinance
which would need to be amended to permit this type of facility in this location. Council directed
staff to continue to work with Flint Hills Resources (Koch) and possible power companies to
further clarify and answer possible concerns. Staff indicated if this project were to move forward
an AUAR would need to be done to identify all possible environmental issues.
Pine Bend Cemetery
Burt informed Council that the current trustees of the cemetery are interested in turning the
cemetery over to the City. Council directed staff to continue to research the idea and bring back
additional information to the Council at a future work session.
Down Town Market Study
Community Development Director Parsons explained the background of the downtown market
study, which would be paid for in part by a grant from the Metro Council. The grant was
awarded in December, but the market study portion was not discussed by Council prior to this
work session.

Goal Setting Dates
Council consensus was to bring the dates of March 2 or 9` for possible goal setting dates to the
next Council meeting for approval. If Council members have discussion topics they need
additional information on, they should contact the City Administrator.
Commission Appointments
Burt reviewed the process and distributed attendance records of existing commissioners from
Planning and Parks and Recreation commissions. Council directed staff to advertise for Utility
and Planning Commission members to till vacancies.
SKB Trust Fund
Mayor Busho indicated she had received seven applications for trustees and she would be
interviewing the applicants and making her recommendation in March for three new trustees
with staggered terms.
Public Comment
Burt asked for direction on how the Council would like to handle public continent at the Council
meetings now that they are on cable television. Burt explained that many communities do not
broadcast this portion of the meeting. Council directed Burt to include this as a goal setting topic.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:15 p.m.

Motion carried.
PUBLIC HEARNG: Cable Franchise Application (continued)
Mayor Busho reviewed the public hearing process. The Affidavits of Publication and Notice
were on file.
City Administrator Burt presented the application by FTTH (Fiber To The Home) Cable
Franchise. Their plan would bring fiber optics to the whole of Rosemount in 25 years with a five
phase plan and compete with the present cable company, Charter Communications.
Ellen Martin, General Manager for Charter Communications, 8330 173 Street, Lakeville,
looked over the FTTH application and referenced Minnesota State Statutes 238 requiring a "level
playing field" between applicants. Martin referred to several items which were not alike and said
she would be responding to City Council in a letter.
City Administrator Burt explained that the cable company requires 30 hones per mile to justify
their build out. If there would be less than 30 homes, additional costs would be involved in the
installation.
Mayor Busho opened the Public Hearing for public comment. There were no comments taken
from the audience.
MOTION by Edwards to close the Public Hearing for the Cable Franchise Application. Second
by Klassen. Ayes: Five. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Attorney LeFevere noted that it is premature for any action because more information has arrived
in new documents for review. More time is needed for specific needs to be determined.
Mayor Busho requested a comparative list of Charter vs. FTTH offerings. City Administrator
Burt explained that the initial capital grant will be paid off this year for Charter Communications
so that the fee applied to the customer could be lowered or the city could recoup the entire 50
cent fee; previously the 25 cent fee was going toward that grant. This grant allowed for the cable
set -up in the Council Chamber.
Edwards asked if they anticipated any inconvenience to the residents during the build out of this
cable franchise. Staff did not foresee any discontinuation of service. Charter would continue to
operate and residents would eventually have two cable companies to choose from.
Staff was directed to continue to negotiate with FTTH Communications, L.L.C. and Charter
Communications.

REGULAR MEETING
FEBRUARY 19, 2002
Receive Feasibility Report /Approve Project /Authorize Plans Specifications
for Connemara Trail Extension, Phase I Street and Utility Improvements(from Shannon
Parkway east to T.H.3), City Project 330
Consultant Engineer Weiss presented details of the extension of C'otmemara Trail to Highway 3
in the first phase. The second phase will extend Connemara east of Highway 3 but Phase 11 is not
included with the action tonight. This street extension will be 52 feet wide, four lanes, from the
Shamon Parkway water tower to Highway 3. Additional right -of -way will be required and a
pedestrian underpass is recommended across Connemara Trail at Evemtoor Parkway. This phase
is funded by the developer of Evemtoor and with City Core funds for trunk over sizing. The 429
process will not be used with this project so a public hearing is not required. There is no signal
proposed at Highway 3 until warrants require it. Trunk Sanitary Sewer from Biscayne Point 3
Addition is not included with this phase but will be included in the second phase feasibility
report. Dodd Road would not have access onto Connemara Trail and would likely be vacated
south of Connemara Trail.
Consensus was shown that due to the use of core funds, the Utility Commission must review the
project. Evemtoor has paid approximately $800,000 on storm sewer and $00,000 for sanitary
sewer and water core funds. No private assessments are needed with this project.
The underpass is longer than expected and more expensive. Safety would be an issue if there is
not a clear view from one side to the other of the underpass. Alternate designs should be
considered. The Parks and Recreation Commission was directed to review the proposed
underpass.
The cemetery on Highway 3 will be south of the Connemara access point onto Highway 3.
Mayor Busho summed up discussion items: gas line easements, 24" water mains, under pass
option, stop light warrants in the future, Minnesota Dept. of Transportation MNDOT) approval,
and Utility Commission review.

Approve Plans Spec's /Authorize Ad for Bids Trunk Highway 3 Street and Utility
Improvements (145 Street to CSAH 42) City Project 318
WSB Consultant Dave Hutton presented Phase 2 and 3 for City Project 318. Phase 2 of the
project was bid last fall but all bids were too high. The combining of Phase 2 and 3 will create a
larger project and should attract better pricing. This project does utilize the 429 process which
requires a public hearing and MNDOT approval. Approximately 5500,000 will be paid for by
MnDOT (Minnesota Dept. of Transportation) funds through a cooperative agreement with
MnDOT. This project will include street overlay, replacement of water main and stone sewer,

curb and gutter, and right turn lanes. The project stops right before CSAH 42 and will not
include stop light replacement. The ponding needs were analyzed and because the stone water is
being direct to the east, the pond size requirement will be lowered for the lot on the northwest
corner of Hwy 3 and CSAH 42 and does not need to be constructed as part of this project. There
will not be any brick pavers with these phases. Trees from 145 Street to 147 Street will not be
changed unless maintenance requires it. There is more green space in Phase 3 where additional
trees could be considered. Council Member Cisewski and Klassen requested that trees be added
where feasible. Access to all businesses will be maintained during the entire project except when
construction requires closures for short periods. Highway 3 will remain open with lane shifts for
construction. Several businesses reported that their busiest time is April through June so this was
considered in the time frame. The project will start late June and run to the end of the year. It is
engineering's wish to maintain regular dialogue with the businesses and give theta regular
updates on the project. Mayor Busho offered the nailing support of the Northern Dakota
Chamber of Commerce.
City Administrator Burt noted that staff would like to offer incentives to the construction
company for early completion as well as continue with penalties for delays. Council agreed.
Mayor Busho requested that Excel Energy be informed of the need for banner arms, flag posts,
and electrical receptacles on the light posts.
The resolution was amended to include Minnesota Department of Transportation approval prior
to the bid opening date. Staff will provide an amended resolution.

Receive Resident Petition to Close Cascade Path at 160 Street (CSAH 46)
City Engineer Brotzler received a petition from a residents group who wish to close Cascade
Path at 160' Street and end it in a cul -de -sac. This was discussed with Dakota County who is
currently improving CSAH 46. The County suggested closing the median so only west bound
traffic would be allowed onto CSAH 46 and no left turn allowed. The effect would be similar to
closing the access in that it would slow traffic through the neighborhood. When the design of a
cul -de -sac was considered, it would involve acquiring right -of -way from adjacent property
owners and would likely be cost prohibitive to complete. Council would have the option to order
a public hearing to disclose assessment estimates. Consensus was to close the median on CSAH
46 and not burden the residents with the cost of a cul -de -sac. Klassen noted this issue could be
revisited in the future if residents are not satisfied.
MOTION by Cisewski to receive resident petition to close Cascade Path at CSAH 46. Second

Motion carried.
Proposed Changes to Waste Container and Waste Enclosure Ordinances
City Planner Pearson explained the proposed ordinance revisions relating to maintenance,
placement, and storage of receptacles for waste management. The intent of these changes is to
protect the public health and safety as they relate to waste management and collection. This will
also reprove the regulations from the zoning ordinance and put them into the City Code to help
the police with enforcement justifications.
MOTION by Edwards to move the first reading of waste container and waste enclosure
ordinances. Second by Cisewski. Ayes: Riley, Edwards. Klassen, Cisewski, Busho. Nays: None.
Motion carried.
Proposed Changes to RV Storage and Parking Ordinances
City Planner Pearson reviewed the storage requirements for recreational vehicles and the
proposed change of allowing temporary storage in the front driveways for 24 hours. Also. the
parking surface options are proposed to be expanded to include class five or a decorative rock
surface in the rear or side yards.
Council Member Riley reported that some residents had contacted her and she agreed with them
that 24 hours was not enough time for temporary storage of RV's and suggested that 72 hours
would be more appropriate. Council Member Cisewski noted she did not agree.

REGULAR MEETING
MARCH 7, 2002
6.a. Minutes of February 19, 2002 Regular City Council
Council Member Riley noted that City Project 318 for Highway 3 seemed premature because
street light placement and driveways were not set yet. Riley said the businesses should not have
to be upset twice. Also Riley noted that there were no brick pavers included in this project when
they had been used north of 145 °i Street West. Riley, the Mayor and staff had visited eight other
communities that had undergone improvements and they all included brick pavers with their
projects. Riley said she would like her vote to be nay for this project. Mayor Busho noted that the
minutes accurately portrayed the actions of that meeting and they should stand as is.
MOTION by Cisewski to approve the minutes of February 19, 2002 Regular City Council.
Second by Riley. Ayes: Busho, Klassen, Cisewski. Nays: Riley. Motion carried.
6.g. Waste Container and Waste Enclosure Ordinances
Council Member Riley noted that enclosures were necessary but to keep the cost down for the
businesses she suggested hiring one contractor to do all enclosures. Also Riley asked staff to
check with garbage haulers for the requirements of size and type needed. This is the second
reach rig.
MOTION by Riley to adopt the Ordinance Amending the Zoning Ordinance and City Code
Pertaining to the Storage and Disposal of Wastes. Waste Containers, and Waste Container
Enclosures. Second by Cisewski. Ayes: Riley, Klassen, Cisewski, Busho. Nays: None. Motion
carried.
6.h. RV Storage and Parking Ordinance
Council Member Riley wished to restate some resident comments regarding this ordinance.
Although this ordinance has been in place since 1989, it has not been enforced until recently.
.Approximately fifty residents attended a City Council meeting to listen to discussion and several
voiced their concerns about RV parking. Many residents do not have room on the side yard to
park and it is impractical to pull vehicles through the snow from the hack yard. A letter was
received on Friday from Mr. Mrs. James Kehoe who noted they had been parking on their
driveway about three weeks in spring and fall to prepare their RV for trips. Due to health
problems they need to work only a short time each day in order to accomplish what needs to be
done. Riley agreed that the 24 -hour limit is unreasonable and unacceptable. Riley suggested a
seasonal use clause for this ordinance. Council Member Klassen noted that she had received
complaints about the improper parking of RVs. Mayor Busho noted that this ordinance is a
compromise to ease restrictions and she also had received complaints that our regulations are not
strict enough. Riley said she had not received any complaints against RVs and noted that one
person out of four in Minnesota owns recreational vehicles.
MOTION by Cisewski to adopt the ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING
ORDINANCE AND CITY CODE PERTAINING TO THE STORAGE AND PARKING
OF RECREATIONAL VEHICLES WITHIN THE CITY. Second by Klassen. Ayes:
Klassen, Cisewski, Busho. Nays: Riley. Motion carried.

MARCH 7, 2002
6.p /q. Evermoor Glendalough Rezoning and 2 Addition Final Plat
Council Member Klassen noted that the amenity of creating a pool was a major amendment and
she did not want any mixed signals going out to developers. Klassen requested that this be
discussed with item 9.b. Council Member Cisewski asked if this is a new project not related to
the pool with the senior development area. Staff confirmed this is a new pool. Council Member
Riley thought this should be kept on the Consent Agenda. Mayor Busho was okay with moving
these items to 9.b. Evermoor Glendalough Planned Unit Development Amendment.
PUBLIC HEARNG: South Rose Park Area Improvements, City Project 325
Mayor Busho reviewed the public hearing process. The Affidavits of Publication and Notice
were on file. Busho explained that due to the meeting date change this hearing would be
continued to March 19, 2002.
City Engineer Andy Brotzler reviewed the reconstruction of 151 Street West, Carrousel Way,
and Canada Avenue in a business district, which includes fast food restaurants and the school
district bus storage location. Curb and gutter will be retained unless it is damaged, then it will be
repaired or replaced as needed. Most of the storm and sanitary sewer is alright except on 151"
Street West. Right tum lanes will be added by McDonalds. Traffic will be allowed through the
construction area during construction. The assessment is estimated to be 581.66 per front foot.
The construction will begin in June and be finished by September. A open house was held for the
neighborhood where many questions were answered. Senior Field Engineering Technician Rich
Lonnquist will be the contact for immediate issues on site.
Dan Huntington, 16210 Cristibell Drive, Lakeville, owns property on Carrousel Way. This road
had little traffic on it the first seven or eight years. Why replace it now?
City Engineer Brotzler noted that the road is currently 17 to 18 years old and it is normal to
replace roads after about twenty years. The winters in Minnesota are harsh whether it is has
much traffic or not. Also, the cost is lowered when it is clone with the larger project. Doing the
whole project now also minimizes the impact to the area because traffic does not have to be
rerouted in a few years. Mr. Huntington was satisfied with that.
The public hearing was opened for comment, but no one from the audience made a conmment.
MOTION by Busho to continue the public hearing for South Rose Park Area Improvements,
C''ity Project 325 to March 19, 2002. Second by Riley. Ayes: Cisewski, Busho, Riley, Klassen.
Nays: None. Motion carried.
SKB Trust Fund Appointments
Mayor Busho interviewed six applicants for the three SKB Rosemount Trust Fund trustees
positions. Busho recommended John Tapper for a three -year tenn to expire January 2005,
Matthew Kearney for a two -year term to expire January 2004, and Bill Droste for a one -year
term to expire January 2003. Three -year terms will start for all positions after rotation of these
new trustees. Council Member Klassen thanked Mayor Busho for her diligence and would hope
that the agreement could be reviewed by all interested parties in the near future. Klassen
requested that perhaps academic scholarship funds for high school children and lifetime learners

could be established. Klassen noted that the Fund should be advertised in the fixture. Busho
noted the Trust Fund was planking to market it more. Mayor Busho noted that the next meeting
is March 21st and that it is the transition meeting with the old and new board members attending.
MOTION by Busho to approve a RESOLUTION FOR APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEES
TO THE SKB ENVIRONMENTAL ROSEMOUNT COMMUNITY TRUST. Second by
Riley. Ayes: Busho, Riley, Klassen, Cisewski. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Power Plant
Council Member Klassen was concerned about staff working on planning issues regarding a
power plant outside the regular application process. Klassen was also concerned that in the
Weekly Update staff had talked to Metropolitan Council, City Administrator Burt, reported
there has not been an application for a power plant. Staff has fielded some inquires and it is
common knowledge that the Prairie Island Power Plant is being phased out. City Administrator
Burt noted that staff had talked with Met Council staff on this and other issues simply as an
update Klassen noted that Rosemount should not be predestined to take heavy industrial or
switching yards without fair process. Staff and Council agreed. Mayor Busho noted a
conversation with Ted Mondale, Chair of Metropolitan Council, who stated that Metropolitan
Council recognizes that local government is in charge of local land use decisions and that
Metropolitan Council is here to partner with the city upon Rosemount's request.
Heritage Development Preliminary Plat Revised (Abbott Property)
Community Development Director Parsons reviewed the Heritage Development for Biscayne
Pointe Fourth Addition. The revisions have eliminated four lot dimension variances, enhanced
landscaping along Connemara Trail, added sidewalk, and no final plats will be approved until the
sanitary sewer and city water are available to the property. A resolution presented other
conditions as well. Parsons noted this development is dependent on the extension of Connemara
Trail east of Highway 3. The Parks and Recreation Committee recommended sidewalks on both
sides of the streets, but the Planning Commission was satisfied with sidewalks along one side.
Council Member Cisewski noted that there is one lot on Birch Street which does not have a
connecting sidewalk because it is privately owned. Attorney LeFevere said that right-of-way or
easement will need to be acquired for a sidewalk. City Engineer Brotzler stated we do have the
right -of -way there. Cisewski stated that the trails to the park are especially essential and should
be connecting. Mayor Busho stated she was satisfied with sidewalks along one side of the streets.
MOTION by Riley to adopt A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PRELIMINARY PLAT
FOR BISCAYNE POINTE FOURTH ADDITTION. Second by Busho. Ayes: Riley, Klassen,
Cisewski, Busho. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Evermoor- Glendalough Rezoning, 2 Addition Final Plat, PUD Amendment
Community Development Director Parsons addressed the rezoning issue first. The rezoning will
bring this land into conformance with the Comprehensive Guide Plan. The lot is located west of
Highway 3, north of Schwartz Pond Park and along Dodd Boulevard.
MOTION by Cisewski to adopt AN ORDINANCE REZONING THE EVERMOOR
GLENDALOUGH SITE to bring it into conformance with the 2020 Comprehensive Guide
Plan. Second by Busho. Ayes: Klassen, Cisewski, Busho, Riley. Nays: None. Motion carried.

ROSEMOUNT CiTY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
MARCH 7, 2002
Parsons introduced Mark Anderson from Lundgren Brothers Construction, 935 E. Wayzata
Boulevard, who proposed to expand the recreational amenities which would include a pool, tot
lot, basketball covet, a gazebo, and picnic area on three lots. This would be entirely maintained
by the privately owned homeowner association. The staff had objected to the pull -in design for
dropping off residents and Lundgren had removed that element of the plan. The pool size would
be 40' by 70' which would be considered neighborhood size. Anderson noted that he has built
several other communities with pools and has found them to he a gathering point for building
friendships and strong neighborhoods. Anderson noted that Minnesota is late in receiving
community pools and that prospective home buyers are looking for that value of a well
maintained pool without their time and effort. Anderson stated that this would not be a gated
community.
Evermoor has another pool approved in the Crosscroft senior living housing. Council Member
Klassen was concerned that these pools will develop into "gated communities" that would
separate them from Rosemount. The Crosscroft pool is in a private community on private streets,
but the Glendalough pool is on a public street. Council Member Riley would support the pool
amendment. Cisewski mentioned that the trail system should be maintained so that bike traffic
can use it as well.
Jay Liberacki, represented Contractor Property Developers Company, said that in the Stillwater
development, Liberty on the Lake, the most often asked question by residents is "Why didn't you
put a pool in Evemioor is a desirable location and would be even more marketable with a
neighborhood pool. Residents don't want to give up their backyards for a pool and don't always
look forward to the amount of maintenance a pool requires. if noise would be a concern. the
closest hone is two football fields away.
Chuck Snyder, Property Management Company, would manage the park and pool. Snyder
manages Live pool communities. He has a Certified Pool Operators license and the pool would be
inspected every spring by the State of Minnesota. As far as the pool being private, it is not
tightly policed. Many children bring friends or extended family.
Parks and Recreation Director Schultz noted that a mini -park services out about one quarter of a
mile radius, a neighborhood park about one quarter to one -half mile, and a community park out
about two miles. So this would be considered a mini -park for neighborhood use by city
standards.
Mayor Busho noted that the community survey showed that residents wanted their community to
have a library, hotel, good family restaurant, and a pool or aquatic center. Busho said it is
difficult to dictate social needs and desires. Busho hoped every developer would be willing to do
this. The Parks Master Plan is being reviewed again, but at this time the city cannot give the
public a pool. Klassen maintained that what matters is not the size of the pool, but the
philosophical issue. Klassen said the community is Rosemount, not Glendalough which may be a
future gated community. Riley.noted that she knows of gated communities and they are strong
neighborhoods with a good support system. Riley was in favor of this PUD amendment.
Cisewski stated she would not be in favor of this amendment.

Mayor Busho called the meeting to order with Council members Klassen, Edwards, and Riley.

Parks Master Plan
Staff provided the final draft plan for the Council's review and input. Parks and Recreation
Director Schultz and Greg Ingraham, from Ingraham Associates Inc. were on hand to provide
a brief description of the plan. Parks Commission Chair Kelly Sampo and Commissioner Mark
Jacobs were also in attendance at the meeting. Schultz explained that the community has been
provided the opportunity to give input through surveys, open houses and stakeholder meetings
and the feedback received has been used to help mold the Master Plan. He also described how
this plan will be user friendly and allow developers to have a clear vision of what the City is
expecting in the area of park development. Schultz did mention the new plan is being looked at
by Metropolitan Council as an amendment to the 2020 Comp Guide Plan and so we will be
following their procedures for that amendment. Council Member Edwards asked Commissioners
Sampo and Jacobs if they felt confident in the Master Plan being brought forward. Both
conmiissioners indicated they were happy with the plan.
Schultz also mentioned that the plan had been discussed on numerous occasions by the Parks and
Recreation Commission. Schultz also indicated the plan was in a draft form and the maps and the
layout would be cleaned up for the final product.
User Fee Analysis
Finance Director May informed the Council that the City is required in 2003 to report building
fees and actual costs to the State Auditors office. As staff reviewed the work to keep track of this
information staff contacted the city's financial consultant, Springsted, on doing such work. May
recommended that after discussing it with Springsted that a full user fee analysis be conducted.
The work will take approximately 12 week and provide useful information for budgeting. Mayor
Busho requested that Ehlers be contacted for a comparison quote. Council directed staff to bring
this to Council fot formal consideration in April.
Hwy 52/42/55 Study
Staff presented a brief explanation of the key recommendations of the transportation system
study and the timing of the improvements. Council members indicated acceptance of the
recommendations but asserted that the study should in no way suggest or pre -empt City Council
approval of regional land use initiatives such as the Minnesota Intennodal Rail Terminal or a
power plant.
MVTA Joint Powers By Law Changes
Mayor Busho updated the Council on the proposed changes being recommended by MVTA.
Council consensus was that "the at large member" be selected by representatives from all
member cities. Busho will report the Councils direction to the MVTA board.

place for two years and that people are not taking advantage of those services. Burt

The project consists of the removal and reconstruction of the pavement and base material and
replace of all damaged concrete curb and gutter on 151 Street (Chippendale Avenue to Canada
Avenue), Canada Avenue (CSAH 42 to T.H. 3) and Carrousel Way (Chippendale Avenue to
151 Street).
Members of the audience requested information regarding the projected life of streets, the need
for repaving Carousel Way, if sewer replacement was involved in the project and street lighting.
City Engineer Brotzler stated streets are designed for a twenty (20) year life. In addition Mr.
Weiss indicated Carousel Way would not have to be included in this project but it would be more
cost effective to include it at this time. The only sanitary sewer work included as part of this
project is the repair and replacement of existing sanitary sewer on Canada Avenue. The cost for
street lighting will be addressed at a later date.
Mayor Busho opened the public hearing for South Rose Park Area Improvements, City Project

OLD BUSINESS: Evermoor Glendalough Planned Unit Development Amendment
City Planner Pearson presented a modified Evermoor Glendalough PUD Amendment to the City
Council. This version removed the pool and the off street pull -in parking area from its design.

Council members expressed concerns regarding the sanctioning of a private park, the liabilities
associated with this park, and the ownership of the park. Planner Pearson indicated that although

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
MARCH 19, 2002
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a regular meeting of the Rosemount City Council was
duly held on Tuesday, April 2, 2002, at 7:30 p.m. at the Rosemount City Hall, 2875 145` Street
West, in the Council Chambers.
Mayor Busho called the meeting to order with Council Members Klassen, Cisewski, and Riley.
Also in attendance were City Administrator Burt, City Attorney LeFevere, Community
Development Director Parsons, Planning Intern Jones, and Parks and Recreation Director
Schultz. Engineering Consultant Bret Weiss and Planning Commnissioner Myron Napper also
attended.
The meeting was opened with the Pledge of Allegiance.
Agenda Changes
City Council Member Klassen requested two additional items under New Business: 8.d. Set
Dates for Performance Evaluation of City Administrator and 8.e. Nance Change of McAndrews
Road. These were placed on the agenda.
Public Comment
Todd Franz. owner of South Metro Auto Brokers on Highway 3 across from the Community
Center, passed out information to the Council Members and the Mayor. Franz felt the proposed
rezoning of these four lots would be premature and should wait until development occurs. Franz
had talked to his neighbors and had presented a signed petition to the Planning Commission
where they stated that they wanted the zoning to remain the same. City staff noted that this re-
zoning was city initiated in order to comply with the Comprehensive Plan designation, which
designates the zoning as R2 Moderate Density Residential. Franz noted one senior couple that
would be required to hook up to water and this would be a hardship for them. Franz noted that
the Planning Commission also did not recommend this rezoning. Franz also noted his lot is
zoned commercial and to rezone it to R2, Moderate Density Residential, would reduce the value
of his property. Mayor Busho said they would consider Franz' comments when Item 8. a. is
discussed this evening.
Consent Agenda

Receive Feasibility Report/Set Public Hearing for Connemara Trail Phase 2 (TH 3)
Consultant Engineer Weiss reviewed the feasibility report for Connemara Trail. This is a detailed
project due to the trunk facilities, a railroad crossing with gate and flashers, removal of or
shortening of a railroad spur, trunk stormwatcr system improvements, and the extension of the
Brockway Draw Sanitary Sewer Interceptor. Connemara Trail will also be the stain connection
to a new water tower site which is yet to be determined. The Interceptor will eliminate the lift
station at Rosemount Woods Mobile Home Park and require a 32 -foot deep section. Because of
this depth it would be cost saving to do the trunk storm sewer line at the same time. However,
Keegan Lake Outlet would not be done in this phase. The estimated cost is 55.9 million. There
will be public hearings for this project in 2002 and 2003 since it is a 429 Project. Right -of -way
acquisition will be needed from the Hertog and McMenomy properties for utilities. The Utilities
Commission has reviewed this project.
Mayor Busho noted that more than one access is needed to Erickson Park and a connection to the
Community Center would benefit the community since Brazil Avenue will no longer go through
to Highway 3. Weiss noted the grade difference would require retaining walls but that he would
look into that possibility.
Council Member Riley noted the large pond on the Minea property. City Engineer Brotzler
explained that Rosemount has a big problem trying to get water to the Mississippi River, so use
of infiltration basins, some with drain tile underground, will be used to reduce downstream
impacts.

Rezoning Properties along Highway 3 across from the Community Center
Planning Intern Jones reviewed the staff initiated rezoning to comply with the City's 2020
Comprehensive Guide Plan as directed by Metropolitan Council. Three parcels are currently
zoned Agriculture and one is Community Commercial. The Comprehensive Guide Plan land
2

designation is Moderate Density Residential. If rezoned only one parcel will be nonconforming
because it has a commercial use, a used auto sales business.
Council Member Klassen noted that the R2 zoning will allow residents to do maintenance on
their homes as needed and the recommended changes would bring most of the non conforming
properties into conformance. It was noted that this could be a "gateway" area to the city with
commercial value. At one time a tunnel was considered for school and commmmity center
participants to be able to walk safely to Erickson Park. If the concept plan is changing for this
area then rezoning should he considered at a work session. Mayor Busho noted that changes can
always be considered in the future with a possible Comp Plan amendment.
City Administrator Burt said the City used to consider zoning as development occurred. Now,
with new legislation and requirements by the State and Metropolitan Council, cities are asked to
have zoning that reflects the comprehensive guide plan. So the Council could delay, but not
postpone indefinitely this rezoning. Riley asked Council to reexamine the hardship to these
homeowners.
MOTION by Edwards to table the rezoning of properties along Highway 3 across from the
Rosemount Community Center until such time that they can be considered at a worksession.
Second by Riley. Ayes: Edwards, Klassen, Cisewski, Busho, Riley. Nays: None. Motion
carried.
Rezoning Northwest Corner Highway 3 and County Road 42
Council Member Edwards moved the motion.
MOTION by Edwards to adopt AN ORDINANCE AMENDNG ORDINANCE B CITY OF
ROSEMOUNT ZONING ORDINANCE with the rezoning of 6.5 acres of the northwest comer
of Highway 3 and County Road 42 to bring it into conformance with the 2020 Comprehensive
Guide Plan. Second by Riley. Ayes: Klassen, Cisewski, Busho, Riley, Edwards. Nays: None.
Motion carried.
City of Rosemount Transportation Plan
City Administrator Burt said that a Comprehensive Transportation Plan for the entire city was
badly needed. The western portion of Rosemount has a transportation plan completed in July of
1993. The State now has a study area going on in the eastern portion for the CR 42 and HWY
52/55 interchange. There is no suggested plan for development east of Highway 3. There will be
needs for bridges. roads and infrastructure and a plan should be in place. Burt recommended
WSB Engineering to produce this transportation plan. Council Member Klassen asked why bids
for this project weren't requested. Burt noted that the City has worked with WSB and Ron Brag
is an excellent design engineer. Staff has negotiated a good price for the project and feels
confident WSB Engineering will deliver a well designed transportation plan.
MOTION by Cisewski to authorize the preparation of a Comprehensive Transportation Plan as
proposed for a "not to exceed" cost of 547,500. Second by Riley. Ayes: Cisewski, Busho, Riley,
Edwards, Klassen. Nays: None. Motion carried.

Name Change of McAndrews Road
Council Member Klassen received a phone call from Dakota County Planning Commissioner
Otto Ped requesting that City Council take a position on the renaming of McAndrews Road to
Zoo Road to draw attention to the Minnesota Zoo. Ped did not support the renaming but would
agree to additional directional signage for the Minnesota Zoo. Mayor Busho noted that the City
of Rosemount names their streets as does Dakota County. Klassen said State statutes give the
County authority to rename a street. Busho would like to review this further. It was agreed to
take this to the April 10th Committee of the Whole.

concern until the developer agreed to taper the north and south ends of the building by changing
some two bedroom units to one bedroom. Staff and the Planning Commission has assured
Council that the development now meets the standard maximum height requirements. Because of
this, Council requested that condition 1. of the Final Planned Unit Development resolution be

effects the development may have on them. Some concepts were voiced from a neighbor on the

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
APRIL 16, 2002
The Church plans to develop in two phases, with the second expansion not expected for seven to
ten years.
Council questioned staff about the connecting wall to be used in the second phase for expansion
to the building. They were concerned about if the stucco on the east wall would be replaced with
brick since it was not now know when this second phase would occur and how it could be
enforced. Pearson noted that a condition to the resolution could be added.
Gary Mitchell, BWBR Consultants, assured Council that the intent is to replace the stucco with
brick when the expansion takes place. Mitchell said the stucco will be a similar color to the brick
and will look quite nice. He has done stucco on other church building with good results. Mitchell
clarified that the steeple will be new, four stained glass windows will be brought from the old
building to the new and the landscaping trees had been set at residential standards of 80 feet
apart. Council Member Klassen requested that commercial standards be used for tree placement
in this case, which is 50 feet apart. Discussion took place and it was decided to add another
condition to the resolution stipulating the 50 -foot standard for tree placement including next to
the pond on Connemara Trail.
MOTION by Klassen to adopt A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT FOR SAINT JOSEPH'S CATHOLIC CHURCH with the addition of conditions 5.
and 6. as follows: 5. Require that the trees use the standard of 50 feet apart along Cormemara
Trail and Biscayne Avenue per commercial standards; and 6. The stucco walls approved with
Phase 1 on the east facing wall will be replaced with brick walls when Phase 2 is completed.

6.j. Deferring Action on Smoking in Restaurants and Bars
Council Member Klassen thought the request for a resolution deferring action to the State on the
item was a pre emptive move. Council Member Cisewski was not opposed but did feel that this
was not necessary at this time. Mayor Busho noted this infomiation was included in a weekly
update to City Council and this response is very similar to the recent phosphorous legislation
enacted. Council Member Edwards also noted this was premature and that no action needed to be
taken. Council Member Riley was comfortable with the resolution request. Consensus was to
refer this to a future time.

the hearing was properly noticed and published and the affidavits were on file.
Consultant Engineer Bret Weiss from WSB Engineering gave an overview of the project. There
will be three phases, Connemara Trail City Project 343A; Brockway Draw Sanitary Sewer
Interceptor and Trunk Storm Sewer, City Project 343B. and Biscayne Avenue City Project 343C.
Biscayne Avenue 343C will be considered tonight. This project includes the reconstruction of
Biscayne Avenue from the existing urban section, north to the proposed entrance to St. Joseph's
Church. Biscayne Avenue is proposed to be reconstructed as a 52 -foot wide urban section with
sanitary sewer, «atermain and storm sewer. The funding will be in part through special
assessments and State 429 process which includes a public hearing. Staff recommends approving
the project and ordering the preparation of plans and specifications.
This project with the future phases will provide looping throughout the whole watennain system,
the storm sewer system will solve high water problems at Keagen Lake, and allow the extension
of the sanitary sewer under Highway 3 to the eastern sections of Rosemount. These are needed
improvements for the development of Rosemount.

ROSEMOUNT CiTY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
MAY 7, 2002
City Planner Pearson reviewed the denial of the Planning Commission for a 3,200 square foot
barn at 5693 142nd Street East, which has less than twenty acres. The accessory structures are
limited by code to 2,400 sq. ft. for a total square footage of all the buildings on the property. Mr.
Vang also hopes to move green houses on the property in the future. His use is for cash crops
which is an agricultural use, however, when the lot is less than twenty acres it has restrictions on
total square footage of all buildings.
Mary and Shu Vang, daughters of Mr. Vang, spoke in favor of the variance appeal. She
explained the business as commercial produce with sales and storage needed in the new barn.
Vang said they are willing to negotiate the size of the ham. The family felt this would improve
their family business and that their new corner at County Road 42 and Highway 55 would be
more successful.
Council Member Klassen noted that in essence that is part of the problem, that agriculture is not
meant to be allowed for a business with additional traffic.
MOTION by Busho to close the public hearing for Mr. Vang's variance appeal. Second by
Riley. Ayes: Five. Nays: None. Motion carried.
MOTION by Klassen to uphold the staff interpretation of Section 7.2.A.6 of the Zoning
Ordinance. Second by Edwards. Discussion ensued. Ayes: Cisewski, Busho, Riley, Edwards,
Klassen. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Council Member Cisewski noted this type of issue keeps coming up and suggested that it be
addressed at a work session to find alternatives and give more direction to staff. Cisewski
questioned if plant sales are the same as produce sales.
Council Member Edwards directed the Vang family to come back and explore the possibility of
changing this to a commercial zoning issue or some other alternative with the city staff.
Mayor Busho noted that at times altematives can be devised and allowed with City Council
consideration.
City Administrator Burt noted that through state agriculture law, produce sales are allowed on
agriculturally zoned land. So this land use request is allowed with a produce stand.
FTTH Franchise Application Competitive Cable System
City Administrator Burt introduced Attorney Robert Voss from Kennedy and Graven, Chartered.
Voss reviewed the negotiations with Fiber To The Honie (FTTH) and the FTTH application.
Voss' report summarized the proposal and build -out schedule, and the qualifications of FTTH. A
resolution was attached by which the Council could approve the application if desired. The
Charter Cable Franchise is compared with the FTTH proposal. The Minnesota Public Utilities
Commission has also reviewed and approved FTTH for phone service and so these qualifications
concur with cable service qualifications. The build out schedule covers more area than Charter
Cable offers. There are very few cities that have competitive cable services. The City of Morris
has this situation and Federated Telephone uses the same system, and what FTTH has proposed a
faster build -out than what the City of Morris has negotiated.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
MAY 7, 2002
Council Member Edwards said that the staff report fully satisfied all his questions and was a
clear document to understand. Edwards thanked staff.
Council Member Riley asked how does FTTH plan to do a build -out faster? Voss noted that it is
using Optical Usage and can do slightly more hones in Rosemount per area. Riley asked for
further financial support information. Voss noted that the company has gone through the state
and has received their approval. Klassen asked if the S50,000 assurrity is enough? If this
company would go under, would the City be forced to continue this service. Voss noted that
there is no obligation by the City to complete the system.
Voss reviewed the build -out map with five phases to the construction. The first three phases
would go beyond what Charter is now serving. The build -out covers the current development
areas and would be completed by 2011. Charter has been here fifteen years and has not yet
serviced all of the city. FTTH would include a full communication package with high speed
Internet, enhanced video, and as a local phone company. This is more than Charter Cable can
offer.
John Schultz, representing FTTH, noted that they do plan on being profitable. Yet they will be
competitive with Charter Cable, the industry standard would call for 30% of the cable market
and FTTH would hope to do much more than that. FTTH has run their numbers, did a business
plan, followed a cash flow process which all indicated the prospect of a sound business far into
the future. The first phase would include Evermoor, the schools and city hall with about 380
homes along Shannon Parkway. The installation process would require burying cable in the
right -of -ways. Hook up would not be required, and could be done at a later date. FTTH has
talked with Independent School District 196 and would offer the Internet service rather than
video since that is provided by Charter Cable now. The private schools have not been
approached yet.
MOTION by Edwards to adopt a RESOLUTION APPROVING CABLE FRANCHISE
APPLICATION BY FTTH. Second by Riley. Ayes: Busho, Riley, Edwards, Klassen,
Cisewski. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Additions to Goals for the City of Rosemount
Council Member Cisewski asked that the minutes of the goal setting sessions be approved prior
to this discussion. Council agreed that the minutes were accurate to the proceedings.
MOTION by Cisewski to approve the minutes of March 2 and April 23, 2002 Goal setting
Special Meetings as presented. Second by Klassen. Ayes: Riley. Edwards, Klassen, Cisewski,
Busho. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Council Member Klassen expressed her wish to add youth programs on the goals list to give
recognition and credit to those who have participated in these programs. Klassen noted she
appreciates the Healthy Promise, Healthy Community program, America's Promise program, Job
Shadowing program, the American Fellow grant that allows an additional youth advisor on staff,
and the Skateboard Park Committee that has given youth a look into city government and
planning process. It was noted that although these items are note worthy they do not have budget

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
MAY 15, 2002
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof the Committee of the Whole Work Session was held on
May 16, 2002, at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall.
Mayor Busho called the meeting to order with Council Members Klassen and Cisewski. Council
Member Riley arrived at 6:50 p.m. Also in attendance were City Administrator Burt, Community
Development Director Parsons, City Planner Pearson, Code Enforcement Official O'Brien, City
Engineer Brotzler, and Urban Wildlife Specialist Brian Luke with the State of Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
Council Member Cisewski noted she had requested that the potential library for Rosemount be
discussed. Burt noted he has a meeting later in the week with Dakota County regarding that and
will report back to City Council. Mayor Busho moved the 2. G. Banner Update with item 2.D.
Street Lighting Plan and South Rose Park Street Lighting.
Animal Ordinance Amendments
City Administrator Burt reviewed the sequence of events that has brought the animal ordinance
to this point. This process will change the control from the zoning ordinance to the City Code,
which is more enforceable. The exotic animals continue to be an issue. A grandfather clause
which would register those currently holding exotic animals with a 90 -day limit for response to
continue to allow them, but no additional exotic animals would be allowed. Klassen noted that
when the issue was first brought up at Planning Commission, it centered around the question of
what "domesticated" meant. Klassen was surprised at the size of the animal ordinance, noting
that it is too lengthy. Burt noted that monkeys have never been a permitted use. Staff is looking
for further direction. City Planner Pearson noted that at present a resident's only recourse is to
appeal staff interpretation to the City Council. This does not require a public hearing. A variance
is not used because it must show hardship (usually with a land use issue). Burt talked with our
City Attorney who said a resident could request a public hearing at the City Council level.
Klassen noted the document is too thorough and felt the 32 page document was punitive. too
restrictive and unenforceable. Klassen felt that the document should be simplified. And. that if an
animal is bred and raised in the U.S. and sold legally in Minnesota, it should not be prohibited in
the City of Rosemount. Klassen said other cities are not as restrictive such as Rochester and
Apple Valley. Only animals proven to be dangerous are restricted.
Mayor Busho noted that this ordinance also deals with taking proper care of your animals. Busho
said she was comfortable with the presented ordinance and believed that other cities would use it
as a model. The old city regulations were written in 1989, so it is time to reconsider this topic.
Council Member Cisewski asked why not wait for the State to deal with the animal ordinance
like they did with phosphorous and possibly smoking in the near future?
Council Member Riley was alamted at the number of diseases carried by exotic animals and felt
the ordinance addressed personal safety. Riley said many insurance companies will not insure
exotic animals: so it could be a personal liability as well. Klassen noted there are insurance
companies that do cover exotic animals.
ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
MAY 15, 2002
Police Chief Kalstabakken noted that if we do not change the animal regulations then no exotics
are allowed and staff needs to know whether to enforce the law or ignore it. There is a concern
for the feeding of wild animals also and the many deer now moving into residential areas.
Kalstabakken said there are residents with more horses than are legal also. He asked if this
should be enforced or by complaint only? This ordinance provides for pasture management and
nearness of neighbors.
Brian Lueth, representing the Minnesota DNR, gave a talk on how wildlife get dependent on
people and the spread of disease is increased because they gather at the feeders. Burnsville has a
resolution that addresses residents who "intentionally" feed deer as illegal. This is a nation wide
problem. Deer management is usually done by a managed hunt in normal hunting season. South
of Birger Pond and Carrolls Woods are two areas which residents have called to express concern
over the number of deer. A resource agency for this is Metro Bow Hunters Resource Base.
Restrictions on feeding wildlife, which could include deer, geese and ducks, could be considered.
Klassen believed it best to only restrict the feeding of deer. Cisewski suggested being more
vague and use "any animal" rather than listing them out.
The consensus was to direct staff to respond to complaints for now and that staff should look at
how to reduce the size of the proposed animal ordinance.
Mining Report
City Planner Pearson presented a map of Rosemount showing where natural deposits of sand and
gravel exist. Pearson presented three options for removal of the available remaining deposits:
1.) Don't change anything. Continue to remain small and use for local use only.
2.) Connect mining with pending development. Existing mining permits would have to be
continued as legal- nonconforming uses. Future mining would occur as part of an
extended site development phase for up to five years.
3.) Allow mining districts, bigger operations or more than one company, but work from the
MUSA line out, extracting all usable gravel say out one mile, then closing that before
beginning the next mile phase. This would allow development on the reclaimed land.
Pearson also noted that city control could be taken away by the state if directed by the
legislature. The city could set up tonnage fees. Mining does not make a good neighbor to
residential developments. The moratorium on mining ends in December this year, so changes
must occur prior to that. Mayor Busho recommended that mining only be allowed east of Akron
Avenue and south of CR 42. After the mining is done the land would be reclaimed. The
Transportation Plan has to be in place so this can be worked around. Host community fees could
be requested. Staff was requested to put together a list that can be prioritized in July.
Council Member Klassen left at 8:45 p.m.
Minimum Building Size in the Industrial Zones
City Planner Pearson explained that this was a reaction to the development in the industrial
zoned area in eastern Rosemount. Many of the parcels are being underutilized with small
buildings and large parking lots. This allows for a low tax base, fewer jobs, stone water runoff
problems, and extra traffic. A formula could be made that would require 25% building to site
with a minimum of 10% and reasonable parking. Outdoor storage, set backs and screening could
2
ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
MAY 15, 2002
be more liberal. Staff was directed to work up a fornmla or phasing for a minimum building size
per land area restriction.
Street Lighting Plan and South Rose Park Street Lighting
City Engineer Brotzler presented a lighting plan for the South Rose Park area, commercial
district behind Rosemount Square along 151st Avenue and Carousel Way. The lighting would
tie the commercial district together and provide added safety for a inter connected sidewalk. It
was suggested to alternate lights every 150 feet or just place them on one side of the street. The
estimated cost is $234,500. Some appraisals will be necessary to prove benefit for assessment
cost.
Pedestrian Facility Improvement Plan
City Engineer Brotzler noted that one of the goals set by Council for 2002 is the development of
a plan to connect sidewalks and trails within the City. Brotzler presented a cost estimate of
$643,800. A Committee recommended which connections to do as a first priority and that larger
links will follow. This will return to the June Committee of the Whole meeting.
Work Plan
City Administrator Burt presented the work plan which highlights each departments goals and
the process being used to reach each one. Council Member Cisewski said she would like to see a
page added for the library. It was noted that the format and typos needed further attention. Burt
said he would return the plan at the June work session.
Banners
Mayor Busho asked staff to review the budget expenses used to this point for banners and the
donations received. This could be brought to City Council at their next regular meeting.
Updates
Oppidan Construction is the builder for a fast food restaurant combination of A and W and
Kentucky Fried Chicken. Oppidan was the builder for Cub Foods. There are some family
restaurants considering the mall locations. The State Utility Board is moving ahead with siting a
power plant. which the city doesn't have much control over. Great River Coop is one of the
applicants. MUSA may change from having restrictive boundary lines to capacity restrictions.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:49 p.m.

commissioner interviews. Mayor Busho placed this under New Business, 8.b.
Public Comment
Craig Krysan, 3895 Cardinal Court, presented a signed petition from his neighborhood
requesting a stop sign at the comer of Crystal Path and Cardinal Court/Cardinal Street. There is a
daycare in a home in Cardinal Court so there are extra children and extra traffic going in and out
of the court. Krysan provided a map showing that there are stop signs at all other intersections
near hy. Mayor Busho explained that this information will be researched by staff, possibly a car
count could be taken and that staff would review this at a Development Review Meeting and
then report back to City Council. Mr. Krysan would be notified when it comes back to City
Council.

Council Member Klassen wanted to clarify the status of the tunnel under Connemara Avenue.
When first examined, the tunnel was more expensive than planned and more of a liability
because of its excessive length of 200 feet. City Engineer Brotzler reported that a change in
location of the tunnel will allow it to be shorter, about 150 feet. This was an acceptable change.

Council Member Klassen asked the current state of affairs for the banners and if there was any
money left to purchase more. Klassen noticed that not all the banners were put up and asked if
there was room for community involvement. Mayor Busho said that staff would check into this
and report back.
Animal Ordinance and Note
Mayor Busho explained her note to Council summing up the direction given to staff at the
Committee of the Whole work session. The note mentioned that Council Member Klassen had
some language available to simplify the ordinance. Mayor Busho believed that staff has put
together a complete animal ordinance that would carry Rosemount far into the future. Council
Member Klassen believed the proposed ordinance was not enforceable, was too punitive and
restrictive and the need to add staff. The note from the Mayor to staff and City Council was
discussed.
Wensmann Homes Concept Major Amendment to Evermoor Planned Unit Development
City Plainer Pearson reviewed the concept plan major amendment, which includes three
neighborhoods. Wensmann Homes is developing two of them, the senior housing of Waterford
and the detached townhomes of Bard's Crossing. D.R. Horton is doing the third neighborhood.
Roundstone with Coach Townhomes. This request is to switch the senior housing with the
Bard's Crossing area and D.R. Horton has changed the street layout for Roundstone. Both
developers are pleased with these changes and expect a top quality life style neighborhood.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
MAY 21, 2002
Wensmann requested a density increase, from 100 units to 120 units in the senior housing.
Additional landscaping will be included. The streets will remain private streets and will have to
conform to the current standards for circulation, functionality and minimum parking
requirements. Staff will work with the developers to further refine any variances to the zoning
ordinance or comprehensive plan. City Planner Pearson agreed to revise the resolution to include
conditions.
Developer Terry Wensmann described the Bards development as a wonderful opportunity for
upgrade luxury style townhomes that face south with walkouts and decks, and the garage at floor
level. Most of the trees will be saved around the outer edge of the development. Each home will
be custom ordered and there will be an association for maintenance of the streets.
Mike Suel, from D.R. Horton, developing the Roundstone area, found the original concept plan
had been sited with single car garages so in order to follow zoning requirements the placement of
the homes had to be changed. The original street alignment was changed which allows more
trees to be left on the south end. The buildings contain 6, 8, or 10 units. They are considered
starter homes with the base price of $145,000 or $160,000 depending on model and finishing
materials. The row homes will start at the base price of $185,000 to S200,000.
City Planter Pearson reviewed the conditions for the resolution as follows: The developer shall
be required to adhere to standards for street widths; access points; landscaping along Connemara
Trail will be enhanced; and the developer shall be required to complete the preliminary plat
phase of the review process.
Mayor Busho asked about a condition for the architectural design of the row homes and
consensus was that it will be looked at when the preliminary plat phase is reviewed.
MOTION by Riley to adopt A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE CONCEPT OF A
MAJOR AMENDMENT TO THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT WITH
CONDITIONS THAT CITY PLANNER PEARSON STATED. Second by Cisewski.
Discussion followed.
Council Member Klassen noted that she would be voting no because she did not agree with the
additional units to Roundstone as citizen input prior to the PUD raised concerns with density.

Lot Split Combination for Earl Stein, 3622 Upper 149th Street West
City Planner Pearson reviewed a negotiated resolution to solve Mr. Stein's problem of where to
place a required dumpster enclosure and have the City gain more in appearance and safety. It
was found that the preferred enclosure location and the west edge of the parking lot are actually
on the City owned storm water pond easement, the adjacent outlot. Staff concluded that a fifteen
foot wide strip of City owned land could be transferred to Mr. Stein, and the City would maintain
an easement for ponding in return for additional green space and compliance to City Code. Curb
stops would be required. The Planning Commission held a public hearing at which no one came
forward to comment. Pearson did receive one phone call that expressed concern for setting a
precedent. Pearson assured Council this was a unique situation.
Discussion included concern that the pine trees planted to provide screening from lights at
GoodYear Tires would remain in place. And, that any costs incurred, like attorney fees, land
registration, survey, etc. would be paid for by Mr. Stein. Two conditions were added to the
resolution: 5. Request to maintain pine tree screening on the south end of lot. and 6. The City
will have no costs incurred by this process.
Earl Stein, 3622 Upper 149th Street West, verbally agreed with these two new conditions. Stein
noted that the pine trees will not be disturbed. Busho assured Mr. Stein that there would be no
1
charge for the actual land, only the incurred costs of the transfer process. Mr. Stein estimated that
this project should be done by September.
MOTION by Cisewski to adopt A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE LOT SPLIT
COMBINATION FOR EARL STEIN property at 3622 Upper 149111 Street West with the
addition of conditions 5. and 6. as mentioned. Second by Edwards. Ayes: Cisewski, Busho,

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
JUNE 12, 2002
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof the Committee of the Whole Work Session was held on
June 12, 2002, at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall.
Mayor Busho called the meeting to order with Council Members Klassen, Cisewski, and Riley.
Also in attendance were City Administrator Burt, City Engineer Brotzler and Consulting
Engineer Weiss, and Code Enforcement Officer O'Brien.
Library Site Selection
Bill Asp. Director of Dakota County Libraries, recommended a process of site selection by City
Council and City staff, then a possible joint committee of two County Library Board Members
and two City Council Members to review sites before approval by the Board and Council.
A 20,000 square foot building is being planned for Rosemount, with an expansion to 28,000
square feet about ten years later. The main reason a larger library is proposed is that Dakota
County has Tess libraries than other counties and because larger libraries are able to provide more
services and selection. The site must have room for this expansion in the future and the county
recommends six to ten acres. Staff was requested to estimate what the cost of perpetual
maintenance of the site might be and check what changes are needed for the CIP budget. Mixed
use is being considered as well, so a partial tax base is possible. This could be supported at the
joint committee meetings
Comprehensive Storm Water Management Plan
WSB Engineer prepared a plan for the City of Rosemount. This is a layout for the drainage
system to serve the city with storage areas. This is a concept plan. The major change is that the
water will end up in the Mississippi River rather than the Vermillion River. Dakota County now
has controls for the Vermillion Watershed and the ability to charge for that operation. If we
improve our own system, then we have control to have fees for that project area. Projected costs
and phasing for the build out are provided.
WSB met with MCES, Metropolitan Council Environmental Services. It is recommended to use
their pipe, the Empire Output Pipe on a temporary basis, two to ten years. This could spread the
cost of the system out. There may be cooling towers necessary before entering the river. City
staff does not believe we will have the density that Metropolitan Council project for twenty or
thirty years from now. A filtration system, the first of its kind, is proposed to clean the water
before it moves down to the river. Wensmann Pond and Hawkins Pond are examples of natural
plants and an easement area around them. Residents will have to adjust to not cutting up to the
water.
City Council will be asked to approve the concept plan for stomr water management so that it
can be forwarded on to the appropriate regulatory organizations.
Pedestrian Facility Improvement Plan
City Engineer Brotzler presented a sidewalk/trail plan to connect existing paths by construction
of additional sidewalkltrails. The costs were estimated at S100,000 per year for six years. Staff is
looking for direction on phasing and budgeting to complete these improvements. Areas could be
prioritized so the segments that are critical to the completion of the plan. Also maintenance of
these trails will have to be considered. Concrete is more expensive and has joints which can he
irritating to bikers or rollerbladers, so bituminous trails are recommended. City Administrator

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
JUNE 12, 2002
Burt noted that the 2003 budget doesn't allow for immediate initiating of this, but perhaps there
would be ways to provide for the improvements. Easement and right -of -way need to be
considered. So the best way is to include paths in new development as it happens. Walking
routes, near schools and parks could be considered first and move out from those. Sidewalks are
five feet wide and paths are eight feet wide, which is determined by if it is a residential, or a
collector street. This can be considered again when budgets are discussed.
Implement 2002 Budget
City Administrator Burt noted that a hold had been put on spending and hiring until the state
indicated how funding would continue. Burt said the city is growing and the hiring is necessary
for continued service. The Police Department has grant programs that will supplement salary of a
police officer. A part-time Police receptionist is needed now, and staff will recommend that
going to full -time next year due to the increase in population. A building inspector is also
needed for the larger projects that are being built in Rosemount. And, a maintenance worker is
also recommended. Capital purchases for equipment was also discussed.
Deer Management
Police Chief Kalstabakken presented several ways to manage the deer population. Correct deer
counts are hard to establish and Klastabakken recommended doing an aerial count in winter for
the most accurate. There have been about 35 reported deer /car accidents. There were probably
many more than that that were not reported. Archery hunting is one of the safest ways to have a
controlled hunt. However, it will not reduce the population quickly, but will maintain the
population were its at. Controlled hunts to reduce the deer population are usually done with rifles
in winter and on large parcels such as Flint Hills or the University of !Minnesota. The DNR
would help with the planning of a controlled hunt. In rural urban areas the deer have no predators
so their population increases rapidly. Burnsville gave the example that if there were a deer
population of 60 in an area in January, then there would be about 90 deer by fall. Some
discussion was held regarding limiting the size of huntable parcels to perhaps ten acres. Also an
education process for the public to not feed the deer was discussed. It was determined that
additional budget money would be required to obtain a deer count which will be discussed soon
at a special budget meeting.
Hauler Ordinance
Staff recommends some additional regulations to improve on the amount of trash left behind by a
hauler and placing commercial dumpsters back in their enclosures. Also when a home is
remodeling portions. a dumpster would not be allowed in the street since it is a safety issue. A
dumpster would be allowed in the driveway for a temporary time to remodel. First reading would
be July 2, 2002, at the regular City Council meeting.
CIP Letter to Dakota County
City Administrator Burt presented a letter including projects up coming for Rosemount, which
will include a library. Consensus was to direct staff to send the letter onto the county to update
them for their budget process.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:45 p.m.

Public Hearing: Chippendale Ave. and CSAH 42 Reconstruction, City Project #344
Mayor Busho reviewed the public hearing process for the audience. The recording secretary
affirmed that all three of the public hearings were properly noticed and published and the
affidavits were on file.
Consultant Engineer Dave Hutton from WSB Engineering gave an overview of the project. The
project involves putting a median and turn lanes at the Chippendale Avenue and County Road 42
intersection. Hutton also discussed costs and funding of the project. The project will be funded
through special assessments and Hutton presented Council with three options for assessing the
project. Hutton added that the purpose of this public hearing was to order the project, with
discussion regarding assessments to occur at a future date.
Mayor Busho opened the Public Hearing for public comment. First to speak was Evan Rice, an
attorney from Faegre and Benson at 90 S. 7 Street in Minneapolis appearing on behalf of the
Holiday Stationstore at 15066 Chippendale Avenue. Mr. Rice was there to discuss Holiday's
objection to limiting access to and from Holiday. Mr. Rice presented a document from 1985
discussing access to the site. Mr. Rice urged Council to not approve the project without
preserving unrestricted access when the median is constructed.
Next to appear was Ron Carlson, 10576 Alison Way in Inver Grove Heights, owners of
Chippendale Center. Mr. Carlson stated he was a signator of the 1985 document presented by
Evan Rice. He stated that the he did not believe that traffic counts currently warranted the
placement of a full median. He also stated that the assessments would be a big burden.
Joe McNamara. Chairman of the Board, Rosemount National Bank, 15055 Chippendale Avenue
South in Rosemount stated he had prepared a letter on June 12, 2002 in which he indicated the
bank's objection to the cost of the assessments of the project. He also stated his opposition to the
median and asked that council consider a less sever alternative. He also expressed concern about
disruption to the business while construction was underway.
Scott Harris, 14840 Crandall Avenue in Rosemount was next to speak. He agreed that the
inconvenience of access would lead him to take his business elsewhere. He also believed that a
median would not improve public safety.
Justin Woods, 14801 Covington Avenue in Rosemount stated he agreed with Mr. Harris.

Brian DeAnn Green, 13341 Cranford Circle in Rosemount had been received by staff
regarding the kennel application.
Chief of Police Kalstabakken presented the item to Council summarizing the information on the
executive summary. Chief Kalstabakken indicated that Mr. Bakker previously had a kennel
license but it has since lapsed. He also indicated that police calls regarding the dogs' barking
were generated on seven different dates. Mr. Bakker had since purchased harking control collars

been overly disrupted by the dogs even though she works from her home.
Susan Kline, 13087 Charleston Way in Rosemount in favor of allowing Mr. Bakker to get his
Kennel License. She stated that the Evennoor development and the wildlife are very disruptive
to her and she understands why the dogs bark.
Gene Bremmer, 14449 Guthrie Way in Apple Valley hunts with Mr. Bakker, saying his dogs are
a benefit to the City.
Justin Bakker, the applicant's son, addressed the issue of rabies shots. He stated that they
administer the shots themselves, therefore the certification was lacking. The dogs have since
been vaccinated at the Farmington Vet Clinic to receive the necessary certification.

Cable Franchise for FTTH (Fiber to the Home)
City Administrator Burt reported that FTTH has applied for a cable franchise with the City of
Rosemount. A public hearing was held January 15, 2002 and continued to February 19, 2002 at
which there was no resident comment given.
Attorney Bob Vose of Kennedy and Graven, Chartered, recommended approval of the cable
franchise for FTTH. The Minnesota Public Utility Commission has reviewed and approved the
financial and technical qualifications of FTTH. Their system for fiber optics to the home is
unique, it is only the second company in the State of Minnesota to offer the service. Exhibit B
shows the Service Area Map for phasing build -outs. Service Area 01 is approximately from
McAndrews Road to 145th Street West and the west boundary of Diamond Path to the east
boundary of Hwy 3 which should be completed by 2005 and Area #2 is the area outside Area 41
east to Bacardi Avenue West to 135th Street near Akron Avenue and CR 42 and then south along
Biscayne Avenue to 160th Street which would be complete in 2008. Charter Communications
argued in a letter that the proposed ordinance violates Minnesota Level Playing Field Law and
that FTTH did not demonstrate that proper financial or technical qualifications were available.
Attorney Vose did not agree with their summary. Discussion followed.
Motion by Edwards to approve an Ordinance granting a franchise to FTTH Communications
L.L.C. to construct, operate and maintain a cable system. Second by Riley. Ayes: Busho, Riley,
Edwards, Klassen, Cisewski. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Large Public Gathering on City Parkland Ordinance First Reading
Parks and Recreation Director Schultz reviewed the City Code and determined some changes,
which would benefit the applicant and the city process. Many scheduled events regularly attract
over 500 people at one time including youth and adult athletic tournaments, concerts and other
events. Our parks and fields can handle this number comfortably. Larger groups with 1200
people or more attending would call for additional staff and possibly policing. Park renters are
required to provide detailed information about their proposed use. The recommended changes

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
JULY 10, 2002
Note: This minute approval resulted in a tie vote, unresolved. A quorum was not present.
See August 6, 2002 City Council review of these minutes.
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof the Committee of the Whole Work Session was held on
July 10, 2002, at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall.
Mayor Busho called the meeting to order with Council Member Riley and Planning
Commissioner Weisensel present. Also in attendance were City Administrator Burt, Finance
Director May, City Engineer Brotzler, Engineer Ron Bray and Chuck Rickart, WSB
Engineering, City Planner Pearson, Fire Chief Scott Aker, and Parks Recreation Director
Schultz.
Transportation Study Joint Meeting
Dakota County just completed their new traffic model and now Rosemount staff can benefit from
its use in this transportation study. Apple Valley and Inver Grove Heights have given
information as to the border streets and connections. The City of Farmington is also starting a
transportation study. Minnesota Department of Transportation is doing a river crossing study,
which will be discussed in 2003. Ron Bray from WSB Engineering said that the challenging
thing about the next 20 years will be finding funding for improvements. The State Legislature is
looking at capital funding for cities. The plan will show phasing for 2005, 2010, and 2020. This
will help reserve utility easements necessary from future developments. A traffic analysis will be
possible for proposed development with computer models. This will help anticipate needs and
find out what impact there could be on community traffic. City Planner Pearson noted this plan
will be useful for the Comprehensive Plan updates. City Administrator Burt also noted this can
help justify fees for development. WSB Engineering will compile this transportation plan, staff
will review, and city council would have to approve it before it can be adopted for use. This
would likely be late this year.
Alternatives for Brazil Avenue
The Connemara Trail extension will cause Brazil Avenue to cul -de -sac at the Rosemount Woods
Mobil Horne Park. Because of the high volume of traffic to Erickson Park for tournaments
Mayor Busho requested that staff look for another alternate for access to Highway 3. Staff
looked at putting a street through Erickson Park and the Sunrise Lumber lot to Highway 3. The
cost would exceed $200.000 and affect the development of the Sunrise lot. Staff will continue to
look at options. Parks and Recreation Director Schultz noted that the Sunrise property is very
low and that balls from the park fields often go over the fence and may interfere with traffic.
Schultz also stated that we don't know if this park will remain our major athletic complex, so
would we want to put a large amount of money into it? Right now adult leagues use the complex
the most. City Administrator Burt also noted that there is a berni on the north edge of the park
with large trees that would be difficult to replace. Fire and police safety was discussed. Staff will
continue to look for a feasible solution.
Kennels
City Planner Pearson recommended removing the 20 -acre kennel allowance in the zoning
ordinance and changing the definitions for residential kennel and commercial kennel in the City
Code. It is recommended that the maximum number of animals, dogs or cats, would be five over
the age of six months. The commercial kennel would include selling, boarding, breeding,
showing, treating or grooming animals and would be required to have property with commercial
1
zoning. The residential kennel is defined as keeping animals as being incidental to the
occupancy of the premises for residential purposes and would be in residentially zoned districts.
City Administrator Burt reported that the family with the four pit bulls who were denied a kennel
license by City Council had an Administrative Hearing officer from the State of Minnesota
decided they could have the dogs back when they have proper shelter. The dogs cost $38 per day
for boarding and have not been picked up by the family.
Proposed 2003 Budget
City Administrator Burt reviewed several positions expected including part-time change over.
A police officer, full -time police receptionist and adding a Sergeant position are expected in the
Police Department. The other positions are: assistant planner. building maintenance worker, and
parks supervisor. Growth in population, in part, generates the need for additional personnel. This
is what our needs are now. If the state allocation is further reduced, items that would be first to
go are: planning consultant. broadcast of Port Authority meeting, cable television programming,
planning intern, digital recorders, sidewalk improvements, parks supervisor and from Capital
Improvements Programs: personal computers, printers, motor pool vehicle, roller replacement,
skidster replacement. and 2 pickup trucks. The tax rate for Rosemount is going up less than one
percent. We had 16% growth in our tax capacity. The growth in Rosemount has spread the
individual tax increase of the city's share to a $9 increase per household.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal of the Board of Appeals and Adjustments
Michelle Bruce Schlie, 14054 Belmont Court, Denial of Fence Variance
City Planner Pearson reviewed the request for a fence variance on a corner lot for Michelle
Bruce Schlie, 14054 Belmont Court. The Planning Commission denied the variance because the
applicant was unable to establish a hardship. The original request was for a 48" lrigh fence and
only a 42" high fence was allowed. At this meeting the applicants changed their request to a 60"
high fence but moved it hack from the street, so they would only be requesting an additional six
feet on the variance past the approved fence line.
Michelle and Bruce Schlie, 14054 Belmont Court, presented panoramic photos to Council to
show the sight lines to the corner and proposed fence lines. They noted that the higher fence, 60"
would be needed to keep their dogs inside the fence and they wished to have the play area as
large as possible for their two children. ages 2 and 6 years. They stated that the comer of'
Belmont is busy because it is one of only two access into their development. Biscayne Point.
City Council consensus was to uphold the decision of the Planning Commission to deny the
fence variance applied for by Michelle and Bruce Schlie.
MOTION by Edwards to close the public hearing. Second by Riley. Ayes: Five. Nays: None.

6.b. Minutes of Jul' 10, 2002 Committee of the Whole
Council Member Klassen protested this meeting because a quorum was not present. City
Attorney LeFevere said you can have minutes without a quorum, but no action of the body could
be moved on without a quorum. LeFevere also noted that it would be appropriate to keep a
record in compliance with the Open Meeting Law. it is not required that a member abstain from
voting on presented minutes when they did not attend the meeting. It is a factual record of the
regularly scheduled meeting. Council Member Klassen voiced concern that the Committee of the
Whole has become a "pre- vote" on Council agenda items. Klassen sensed that direction had been
given to staff even though a quonnn was not present. Mayor Busho noted that staff made
prepared presentations at that meeting and they did expect direction from Council. Mayor Busho
suggested that this be discussed at the up coning Committee of the Whole as the agenda has
already been prepared and that discussion on the purpose and direction of Committee of the
Whole meetings be discussed as an item that evening. Cisewski stated she would be abstaining
on this motion as she had in the past because she did not attend. Busho and Riley noted the
minutes reflect accurately what was discussed at the Committee of the Whole.
MOTION by Riley to accept the Committee of the Whole of July 10, 2002 minutes as stated.
Second by Busho. Ayes: Busho, Riley. Nays: Klassen. Abstain: Cisewski.
City Attorney LeFevere was asked if this motion would be a passed motion or not? LeFevere
said it would have to be passed on policy and following Robert Rules. The appropriate thing to
do would be for the chair to rule on the motion and then the body could decide. LeFevere noted
that approved minutes of a meeting without a quorum are not necessary.
Cisewski noted that some problems exist with the Committee of the Whole meetings and she
thought that it would be better to discuss this at a regular City Council meeting. Klassen agreed.
City Administrator Burt noted that the Committee of the Whole is a regular scheduled meeting
that has been beneficial to staff to enable them to prepare for City Council meetings. The 2003
Budget is part of the Committee of the Whole agenda and it is critical that it be completed and
moved on to Dakota County by September. Klassen agreed that special meetings should be
called to discuss such complex items as the budget.
6. t. Rosewood Village Minor PUD Amendment (Landscaping), Progress Land Company
City Planner Pearson reviewed the landscaping plan and the changes resulting from negotiating
with the railroad attorneys. The agreement requested a 100 -foot wide easement rather than the
proposed 50 -foot easement around the railroad spur. This would require the older growth trees
to be removed to install a security fence. Additional evergreens, shade trees, and bushes would
replace the older growth. Pearson said this would be effective screening with the twenty -foot
spacing of trees in two lines. The fence is a six -foot tall chain link black vinyl clad. Busho noted
1
ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
AUGUST 6, 2002
that the modification to landscaping causes a substantial loss of trees. Pearson said that
zigzagging the fence to preserve trees would look arbitrary in the future if trees die out. The
developer is providing screening above requirements along the outer edges of the project. Further
discussion ensued. The Home Owners Association would handle replacement and maintenance
of the tree screening.
MOTION by Busho to approve the minor planned unit development amendment for the
landscape revisions for Rosewood Village as requested by Progress Land Company subject to
the conditions of Resolution 2002 -79, including extending the security fence tluough the
proposed Outlot B to the railroad and to require increase in height of 30% of the trees. Second
by Cisewski. Ayes: Cisewski, Busho, Riley, Klassen. Nays: None. Motion carried.
6.u. Biscayne Pointe Fourth Addition Preliminary Plat Revision
Council Member Klassen had concerns for the additional number of lots and why it had not gone
through the Planning Conmtission as a new addition. City Planner Pearson showed that the
property was expanded by 17 acres but the density did not increase. The Fourth Addition was
approved when the neighboring property was purchased. The street alignment proposed here
allows the utilities to have a complete loop, which improves the water flow and traffic.
MOTION by Klassen to adopt a resolution approving the revised preliminary plat for Biscayne
Pointe Fourth Addition. Second by Riley. Ayes: Busho, Riley, Klassen, Cisewski. Nays: None.
Motion carried.
Announcements
Mayor Busho reviewed the regular meetings for August. Tonight is National Night Out, which
had a good participation by neighborhoods in Rosemount. Council Member Riley thanked the
residents of Ashbury Glen development for the barheque and wonderful time. The Dakota
County fair is held this week.

Evermoor Roundstone Preliminary Plat and Rezoning, D. R. Horton
City Planner Pearson presented the application from D. R. Horton to build 119 townhomes in
Evenuoor. The developer was willing to cormect the dead end streets on the southeast border to
comply with the requirements for emergency vehicles. Council requested the condition include
the statement, "as approved by Fire Marshall." The conservation easement was requested to be
50 feet wide, however the grading plan shifts the line in places between 45 feet and 70 feet. So
the developer asked if that conservation easement could he an average of 50 feet rather than
exactly 50 feet. Parks and Recreation Director Schultz noted that the Parks and Recreation
1

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
AUGUST 20. 2002
Committee recommended the conservation easement to insure a buffer area between the park and
the townhomes. Schultz commented that the commissioners wanted to save the tree line and it
would be reasonable to hold to an average of 50 feet. Council was agreeable to that. The
articulation of the row townhomes was detailed with brick on the fireplace box, decks, and the
four -foot extension every four units. Council still would like more articulation by way of bay
windows, shutters, dormers, or changes to the roof line. Council suggested a resolution
condition, "Additional articulation enhancements to the back of the townhomes facing
Connemara Trail." Mr. Don Patten, D. R. Horton developer, noted that there will be a four to
five foot landscaped berm next to Connemara Trail so that the sight -line would not show the
entire building and this would add variation. Mr. Patten noted that they also do not want to
remove more trees than necessary because they add value to the lots. The sale price of the
townhomes will be between $170,000 and S190,000. Council indicated they would like to review
the townhome design before approval.
MOTION by Edwards to table the Evermoor Roundstone Preliminary Plat and Rezoning from
D. R. Horton for further review of the design. Second by Klassen. Ayes: Edwards, Klassen,
Riley. Nays: Cisewski, Busho. Motion carried.
City Administrator Burt noted city staff would contact D. R. Horton for an extension of their 60-
day response to their original concept request.
Evermoor Waterford Preliminary Plat and Rezoning. Wensmann Homes
City Planner Pearson gave an overview.
MOTION by Edwards to adopt a resolution approving the Preliminary Plat for Wensmann's
Evermoor Waterford with the additions discussed. Second by Riley. Discussion ensued.
Mayor Busho requested clarification of the conditions discussed. Edwards noted one would be a
landscape plan for the trees in the gray area marked on the plat and the other is placement of a
silt fence prior to construction around the trees not to be removed. This was requested to be
added to the motion. City Planner Pearson suggested the developer would create gray shaded
area landscape contingency plan for areas of the previously identified tree preservation area that
would be impacted by custom grading. Both the motion maker and second agreed to the motion
amendment.
Amended motion: MOTION by Edwards to adopt a resolution approving the Preliminary Plat
for Wensmarm's Evemtoor Waterford with two conditions: 1) create a landscape contingency
plan for the gray area on the plat and 2) placement of a silt fence prior to construction around the
trees not to be removed. Second by Riley. Ayes: Klassen, Cisewski. Busho, Riley, Edwards.
Nays None. Motion carried.

Wensmann Evermoor Bards Crossing Final Development Plan and Rezoning
City Planner Pearson presented the new building design showing elevation and the steeper roof
line. The grading is shown for the under ground parking and the pipeline easement. The
landscaping was enhanced on Coimemara Trail. The tree preservation line would be 40 feet from
the border. It is proposed to have 120 units, twenty more than the original request. Council asked
for a statement from the City Attorney to restrict this development to senior citizens. Attorney
LeFevere suggested, "subject to requimient declaration of covenants for seniors satisfactory to
the city attorney."
Council Member Riley was pleased with the development. Riley liked the connecting trails, the
conservation of the tree line, the increased landscaping, and the overall design.
Mayor Busho noted the increase of twenty units and asked if additional park dedication fees
would be obtained for them? Parks and Recreation Director Schultz said that the Parks and
Recreation Commission indicated they would also expect additional park dedication fees. City
Planner Pearson said he would have this included in the conditions and the dedication of Outlot

Work Session Discussion
Council Member Riley said she was personally offended that council members not in attendance
at work sessions did not notify staff before the meeting was called so consideration of canceling
the meeting could be made. Riley said all council members should attend in order for them to be
effective. Edwards commented that this meeting is not required, but beneficial if a member needs
more information. Mayor Busho asked for direction from Council if they wished to continue
having work sessions? Busho stated that work sessions were started in 1996 and in fact, many on
this Council have pulled items from the City Council agenda and placed them on work session
agendas. Council Member Klassen wanted the work sessions discontinued because too many
issues are brought to Council on this "pre- vote" basis. Mayor Busho took exception to that
comment. Council Member Cisewski noted that the meetings have become repetitive and
burdensome because they take too long. Cisewski noted she would not attend when repetitive
items are on the agenda. Riley noted that most other cities do use this same method of explaining
material to city councils and it is a good effective way for businesses as well. Mayor Busho
noted that the up coming work session has several items that staff needs direction on, including
the 2003 budget. City Administrator Burt said he would try to have new items on work sessions.
Edwards motioned to "move the agenda' ending the discussion.

REGULAR MEETING
SEPTEMBER 3, 2002
Replacement of Planning Commissioner Vacancy
City Administrator Burt requested that Council give direction on the process to be used to
replace the recent resignation of Jana Carr -Weerts from the Planning Commission. The last
interviews were conducted for two planning commissioner positions and a third person was
selected as back up. Riley suggested that the third selection, Toni Schiltz, be contacted to till the
remaining term and then if he is not interested, then the nom al process with ads in the local
papers, applications, and then interviews could be conducted.
MOTION by Cisewski to have staff contact Tom Schiltz immediately; if he is not interested
then proceed with advertising and interviews for the Planning Commissioner remaining term.
Second by Riley. Ayes: Edwards, Klassen, Cisewski, Busho, Riley. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Letter from Ms. Bulera
Council Member Klassen submitted the letter from Ms. Bulera sent to all of City Council for
discussion regarding closure for the monkeys at Ms. Bulera's Rosemount residence. Ms. Bulera
indicated she was frustrated by the length of time it was taking to amend the City Code animal
ordinance. Klassen was not aware of how the animal ordinance has moved forward without
Council's input. The Planning Commission is scheduled to review it on September 10th after the
City Attorney has reviewed it. Klassen believed it was not a land use issue, however, it was
explained that regulations are in the Zoning Code regarding animals, which should also be
amended. Some protection or regulatory issues should be transferred over to licensing in the City
Code. Klassen asked if there is any way we can "grandfather in" Ms. Bulera's primates? City
Attorney LeFevere said the way staff currently interprets the Codes, the primates could not be
kept unless they are subject to annual licensing. LeFevere said that the interpretation of
"domestic" animal is what does not allow the monkeys. Edwards noted that Nis. Bulera could file
to the Board of Appeals if the Planning Commission denies her request. LeFevere said staff is
not free to disregard City Ordinances, by Council direction staff has allowed Ms. Bulera to keep
her monkeys while research has been carried out on amending the Ordinance. LeFevere also
noted that a "grandfather policy" would not apply to keeping monkeys because it is not entitled
under a substantial right. Council directed staff to research Ms. Bulera's intent to appeal and
have Council consider it at the soonest meeting available.
2003 Preliminary Levy and Budget and Hearing Dates
City Administrator Burt asked for City Council's fonnal consideration for the 2003 Levy and
Budget. Council first reviewed the proposed budget in July, staff has responded to suggested
priorities and the City's estimated tax capacity rate will decrease about 1.5 The overall impact
of the County's, School Districts, and Special Taxing Districts' tax capacity rates is still unsure.
The State may still push local goverment aid reductions back. Housing values are going up, so
some homeowners may see an increase accordingly.
Council Member Klassen asked about where the library is in the budget. Burt noted it is in the
City Council Contingency fund. Klassen said she would like it identified for the library.
City Administrator Burt noted that the proposed budget is on display in City Hall for anyone who
would like to review it. Council will continue to discuss budget issues until it is set in early

December. The Truth and Taxation Hearings are proposed to be set for December 2, and if it is

GENERAL FUND OPERATING BUDGET, THE PRELIMINARY 2003 C.I.P.
BUDGETS, THE PRELIMINARY 2003 INSURANCE BUDGET AND THE
PRELIMINARY 2003 LEVY REQUIRED BY THE CITY OF ROSEMOUNT. Second by
Riley. Ayes: Klassen, Cisewski, Busho, Riley, Edwards. Nays: None. Motion carried.
ORDINANCE ALLOWING SPECIAL ELECTION
Council Member Klassen had announced at the last meeting she would be retiring her seat at the
end of the year, allowing for two years of her term. Klassen said she had hoped to have the
council member position on the November ballot, but state statutes were not meet to allow this.
Klassen strongly felt that the voters should decide who should have the council seat rather than
by City Council appointment. Klassen expressed her desire to see some issues to closure by
staying to the end of the year.
City Attorney LeFevere gave some background on the State Statutes allowing for a special
election if the remaining term is more than two years. The City of Rosemount may change that
time elapsed by ordinance to a lesser time. LeFevere noted that special elections typically don't
have a high turn out. Also, if the position is not vacated, the incumbent could change their mind
about retiring. Even with a written resignation accepted by City Council, the resignation could be
withdrawn at any time. City Administrator Burt noted that a special election would cost about
S9,000.
The City Attomey was asked to research options and retum to City Council for consideration at
the next City Council meeting.
Announcements
Mayor Busho noted that absentee voting is available at City Hall on Saturday. September 7th. 10
a.m. to 3 p.m. Busho reviewed the regular up coming city meetings. There will be a one -year

Item 6.h. Approve Agreement with St. Joseph's Church
Council Member Klassen requested discussion for clarification on the deferred Trunk Highway 3
Phase 2 fees. City Engineer Brotzler explained that this is different than standard procedure in
that it is a simple lot split rather than a platted development and due to the size of the project it
would be logical to charge separate fees for the two phases. If the project had been platted, the
area would have been an outlot that trunk fees would not have been charged for at this time.
Improvements will be made to Biscayne Avenue and the proposed construction of Connemara
Trail to the site east of Biscayne Avenue. The Church agrees to waive their right to appeal the
pending assessments for the project. The agreement also acknowledges the payment of trunk fees
for 14.5 acres with the Phase 1 improvements with trunk fees due on the remaining area of the
site at the time that Phase 2 improvements are completed. Mayor Busho noted that trunk fees for
Phase 2 will be charged at the usual rate at the time of development.
MOTION by Busho to enter into an agreement with St. Joseph's Church regarding Special
Assessments and Trunk Fees and authorize the necessary signatures. Second by Riley. Ayes:
Busho, Riley, Edwards, Klassen. Nays: None. Motion carried.
PUBLIC HEARING: Assessment Hearing, 2001 Street Utility Reconstruction
Improvements, City Project 326
Mayor Busho reviewed the Public Hearing process. The City Clerk noted that the affidavits of
notice and publication were on file.
City Engineer Brotzler reviewed the improvements made to Dodd Boulevard, Danville Avenue,
and Upper 145th Street with watermain, stone sewer, curb and gutter, and street overlay. The
average assessment is $2,400. Residents who had driveway access to the improved streets
received assessments. Mayor Busho opened the Public Hearing for comments.
Joanne Cope, 14717 Danville Avenue, reported that half the sod replaced had died and there
were some "sink holes" near the city water lines.
Tom Piekarski,14800 Dodd Boulevard, presented a letter of objection for appeal of the
assessment. Piekarski stated that his driveway was closed 26 days rather than the 2 days he had
2

REGULAR MEETING
SEPTEMBER 17, 2002
been promised. He felt he was not given access as other residents were given. Piekarski stated
his driveway is too narrow, about 12 feet wide, which was not as large as it was before. Piekarski
also said that he had his property surveyed and his corner post is in the middle of his driveway.
Blanc Voigt, 14833 Danville Avenue, was unhappy with the loss of sod. He made extra effort to
water it but only had limited success. Voigt was concerned with loss of front yard footage due to
a slight realignment of the road. He had planted three trees eighteen feet back from the original
curb so they would be out of the easement. Now, the trees are very close to the utility easement
line. He feared the loss of his trees in future city improvements. City Engineer Brotzler noted
that the easement is for private and public utility lines and not for trails or sidewalk.
Robert Olson, 14590 Danville Avenue, noted that his sod never took. Olson called three local
sod companies and received prices of $710 to $940 to replace the sod. Olson felt the city should
take care of the neighborhood and replace the sod.
Robert Custer, 14724 Danville Avenue, thought the grass failed because there was not enough
black dirt under it. Custer commended city employee Rich Lonnquist as a public servant. noting
that he tried to please everyone and that Rich needed a new truck. Council and staff agreed that
Lonnquist is an excellent liaison for the City.
Harry Willcox, 14674 Danville Avenue West, agreed Rich Lonnquist did an excellent job.
Willcox noted that the proper grading wasn't done back in 1974 or 1975 and that staff did as
good as job as possible.
Greg Labelle, 14587 Danville Avenue, reported he was also careful about watering and not
cutting the grass too short, but he still had most of the sod die and the ground sunk in places.
Ross Benz, 14550 Danville Avenue, thanked the city for fixing their water supply and streets.
Benz said he could live with this, but would recommend replacing the sod. if they buy good
quality sod.
Joan Lillo, 14575 Danville Avenue, reported that 45 to 50 feet of sod died by her lot and she had
watered it. Lillo said her neighborhood looks awful and it should be finished properly. Lillo
wondered if the sod was laid too late in the fall to root. It was the third week in October.
MOTION by Busho to close the Public Hearing for City Project 326. Second by Klassen. Ayes:
Riley. Edwards, Klassen, Busho. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Mayor Busho asked about the sink hole situation. City Engineer Brotzler noted that he can
address that as a warranty issue with the contractor. Busho asked about a sod policy. Brotzler
noted that it is standard to have the contractor maintain the sod for the first 30 days and then
maintenance reverts to the property owner. Brotzler noted it is quite common to plant sod in the
late fall. A final walk through was conducted, staff noticed how some sod did not make it, but it
was about half and half. The contractor is not liable for the sod after 30 days. It is hard to say
what caused the sod not to grow. In the future, letters will be sent to the involved residents
regarding their satisfaction with projects. Staff will check again to see if a lack of black dirt
might have contributed to the sod failure.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
SEPTEMBER 17, 2002
City Administrator Burt said that it is not usual policy to go back after a project and replace sod.
But, it had been done with the 145th Street improvements a few years ago. Burt suggested that a
decision be made now because the project is not closed out, then the project would be paid for
next year and the work done in the spring.
City Attorney LeFevere noted the assessment payment process. Residents have 30 days to pay
the City directly without any interest. After November 30th, the assessment is sent on to the
county against the property where it can be set up for payment within ten years. Residents have
30 days to file a Notice of Appeal after a Notice of Objections is tiled with the City Council.
Then a ten -day window is open to file with the District Court and to demonstrate there is
something illegal about this assessment.
MOTION by Edwards to ADOPT A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE ASSESSENT ROLL
FOR THE 2001 STREET AND UTILITY RECONSTRUCTION IMPROVEMENTS,
CITY PROJECT 326 and to leave the project open to meditate any problems. Second by
Klassen. Ayes: Edwards, Klassen, Busho, Riley. Nays: None. Motion carried.
PUBLIC HEARING: Assessment Hearing, Eastside Watermain Extension, City Project
320
Mayor Busho reviewed the Public Hearing process. The City Clerk noted that the affidavits of
notice and publication were on file.
City Engineer Brotzler reviewed City Project 320, which is located near Highway 52 on the east
side of Rosemount. The total cost was 51,173,256 and $726.184 was paid from the Water Core
Fund for over sizing the watermain. S447,072 is to be assessed to adjacent commercial
properties. The assessment rate is S18 per front foot. Mayor Busho opened the Public Hearing
for comment, however there were no continents given from the audience.

Evermoor Roundstone Preliminary Plat and Rezoning, D.R. Horton
City Planner Pearson reviewed the tabling of this project due to the design of the townhomes as
viewed from Connemara Trail. Steve Pahl from D.R. Horton presented a revised face elevation
showing additional dormers and cedar shakes along with the four foot offset or jog in the
building. The fireplace housing and decks also added breaks in the design. Additional offset
could not be done because it would affect the lot length and setbacks. Council Member Edwards
and Mayor Busho were pleased with the revisions. Council Member Riley felt the building was
still not broken up enough. Riley suggested making each unit appear different with color or
design. Conditions on the resolution were discussed and the conservation easement for
preserving the trees. Mayor Busho questioned the lack of tree protection language in the draft

Item 6.1. Trunk Highway 3 Detour
Council Member Cisewski expressed concem with the possible closure of Highway 3, the impact
it would have on Rosemount Saw and Tool, the Music Magic and Quilters Haven, questioned if
Lower 147 Street would be open. and how the traffic would flow so the businesses south of
Lower 147 Street still have access. Cisewski wants assurance that public access is maintained
for all of these businesses.
Dave Hutton, Project Manager, presented a brief overview of the proposed detour. The detour is
for northbound traffic only from 145 Street to Lower 147 Street. The southbound traffic will
remain open. Temporary accesses will be provided across the work zone for the businesses. Mr.
Hutton indicated it is necessary to close for one week for northbound traffic in order to complete
the project because of tight working conditions, safety of the equipment, vehicles of traveling

passed.
Item 6.m. Metro Council's Blueprint 2030
Council Member Klassen pulled this item to offer for the Councils consideration the addition of
a sixth item on the letter to Metropolitan Council. Item six would state: The use of transportation
corridors, as opposed to using MUSA as a development tool, will add to urban sprawl rather than
contain it.
Council Member Cisewski endorsed the addition of item six to the letter for Metropolitan
Council.
MOTION by Klassen to authorize transmittal of letter to the Metropolitan Council regarding its
Blueprint 2030 with the addition of the suggested number six. Second by Cisewski. Ayes:
Riley, Edwards, Klassen, Cisewski, and Busho. Nays: None. Motion passed.
Mr. Burt advised that Karrie Bulera has requested her two capuchin monkeys be acknowledged
as registered service animals. Ms. Bulera had provided the City with a letter that states how
those animals assist her and certificates for those animals stating they are service animals.
Questions were raised regarding the validity of Internet registration of service animals,
credibility of organizations registering animals as service animals, and vaccinations required for
animals.
Mr. LeFevere stated there are two provisions under Minnesota law that relate to service animals.
Both have to do with denying access to people with service animals. Access cannot be denied to
real property nor can access be denied to restaurants and other public places for persons with
service animals. Animals must be from recognized program, which trains service animals to
aid persons with disabilities.
MOTION by Edwards to acknowledge Karrie Bulera's two capuchin monkeys as registered
service animals. Second by Klassen with addition of a friendly amendment.
Friendly amendment: Motion to acknowledge Karrie Bulera's two capuchin monkeys as
registered service animals and that they are pemtitted in the City of Rosemount.
Council Member Edwards requested to hear Mr. LeFevere's comments before he accepts or
rejects the friendly amendment.
LeFevere stated that under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Minnesota
Human Rights Act a person would be defined as having a disability if there is any physical or
mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activity of the
individual. If there is a disability the City in application of its zoning ordinance has to make
reasonable accommodation to that disability.
Discussion ensued regarding the proof that a person is disabled or some level of satisfaction that
there is a disability within the meaning of the law.
Council Member Klassen indicated that through her research she found that the registering
agency SARA does require that the applicant send along some information from a doctor. Based
on this infomration Council Member Klassen is satisfied that a disability exists.
Council Member Edwards amended his motion to state "MOTION to acknowledge Karrie
Bulera's two capuchin monkeys as registered service animals. The council finds that the stated
disability of Ms. Bulera meets the legal definition of a disability."
Amendment accepted by Klassen.
Mr. LeFevere clarified the MOTION as such: Council finds that the applicant has a disability
within the meaning of the act and that allowing the monkeys without any further restriction is a
reasonable accommodation to that disability within the meaning of the State Human Rights Act
and the Americans Disability Act.
Council Members Edwards and Klassen accepted Mr. LeFevere's wording.

insufficient, adequate or exorbitant. A further clarification of the intended use of funds was
requested.

final budgets are approved. This item could be brought back to the next City Council meeting
and still make the deadlines but indicated the years 2004 and beyond are in fact a work plan or
guide.
Further discussion ensued regarding the dollar amount required for the purchase of land for a
library, a construction date for the library, and possible questions regarding other line items.

Old Business Special Election Response
City Attorney LeFevere recapped the established rules when special elections are held to fill
council vacancies. Under state law Council Members have 4 -year terms. All vacancies are filled
by appointment. During the first two years, if vacancies occur then the vacancy is filled by
inmmediate appointment. The person stays in office until a midterm special election. If the
2
vacancy occurs during the 3rd or 4 year of the term, a person is immediately appointed and
stays in office until the remainder of the term. Statutory cities usually don't hold special
elections (freestanding elections) except if it coincides with the general election. An ordinance
is required if cities desire to hold freestanding elections.
The draft ordinance allows for a freestanding special election for a vacancy in the first year. A
vacancy in the second year will last until the midterm general election and the special election
would he held at the same time. A vacancy in the third year would be a freestanding election. A
vacancy in the fourth year would not he filled until the next general election.
Mr. LeFevere recapped that a vacancy occurring during the first or third years of the term would
mandate a freestanding election and a vacancy occurring during the second or fourth year of the
term would be the same as the state law.
Discussion ensued regarding the requirements fol filling vacancies, the necessity of a public
hearing regarding this proposed ordinance, the effect this ordinance would have on the bylaws,
and the number of readings required for adoption of a new ordinance.
Mr. LeFevere stated that for a statutory city a public hearing is not required for this type of
ordinance. Under state law and this ordinance, there is provision for an appointment for a vacant
council seat. The only difference is how long they serve until they are replaced by an elected
official.
MOTION by Riley to table this item. Motion died for lack of a second.

Partnership, Metro Mosquito Control, and Dakota Fence along 160 Street requesting that the
city sewer service be extended to their properties. Staff has met with these owners and has

to acquire easements for this project. The estimated cost for the feasibility report would be Live
to ten thousand dollars. If the project does happen then this cost would become part of the

meeting with Dakota County Technical College, who desires to improved their water pressure.
Brotzler introduced Kevin Kawlewski, WSB Engineer Consultant, who has reviewed feasible
routes for the extension of the trunk watermain from Bloomfield development to Trunk Highway
52. Three alternates were discussed using the 140th Street power line utility easement and then
two alternate ways to go south to County Road 42; either along Akron Avenue or the section line
just east of Akron Avenue. The second alternative was more cost effective. Residents in this area
have their own well water systems and are not in the Metropolitan Utility Sewer Area (MUSA).
The Dakota County Technical College could be hooked up via County Road 42 right -of -way
with 16 -inch pipe. The cost is estimated at 2002 construction dollars at 51,746.700. This would
be funded through the Water Core Fund and assessment to Dakota County Technical College at
approximately $26 per frontage foot, or 598,670. The plans could be ready by January 21, 2003,
bids by February 14th, and an assessment hearing on February 18, 2003. Construction would
start about April 20th and be completed by September, 2003. The College will have further input

10 -Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
Finance Director May presented the CIP final draft. This is the seventh year the 10 -Year CIP has
been completed. Each year the plan has taken better shape and 2003's has evolved into a very
realistic working document. This process is long, but, it is the best way to plan for the future. The
CIP has held reserves of S500,000 in 2004 for land for a county library, however, Dakota County
can not give a fimm dollar amount because it doesn't know what size lot will be required yet. This
figure does not affect our levy at this time and it can be adjusted when more infomiation is
known. Council consensus was that this had been discussed at length at several meetings and
they were in agreement.
MOTION by Riley to approve the 10 -Year Capital Improvement Plan working program for the
City of Rosemount for the years 2003 through 2012. Second by Klassen. Ayes: Edwards,
Klassen, Cisewski, Busho, Riley. Nays: None. Motion carried.

by State Statutes for dangerous dogs and necessary notification. Also, a system is proposed for
registration of any exotic animals. Regulations are also proposed for the feeding of wild animals
and pasture management in that it may become a public nuisance or health issue.
Mayor Busho commended O'Brien for a very good job with his research of animal ordinances.
Busho asked about how enforcement would happen. Police Chief Kalstabakken noted his
department would he in charge of that which would usually happen on a complaint bases. This
Ordinance moves the enforcement issue from the City Zoning Ordinance into the Rosemount
City Code. Kalstabakken said that a pending residential dog kennel license was held up due to a
change in definition. Commercial kennel licenses will only be allowed in agricultural zoned
property and for outdoor dog runs twenty acres will be required. Residential kennel license will
allow for five animals maximum.
Council Member Klassen said she had additional infomration from another city she would like to
distribute to Council in the up cooling week to be considered with this ordinance proposal.
Future discussion is recommended.

SPECIAL BUDGET MEETING
DECEMBER 2, 2002
Pursuant to due call and notice published on November 22 and 23, thereof a special meeting of
the Rosemount City Council was duly held on Monday, December 2. 2002, at 6:30 p.ni. at the
Rosemount City Hall, 2875 145' Street West, in the Council Chambers.
Mayor Busho called the meeting to order with Council Members Klassen, Cisewski. and Riley
present. Also in attendance were Interim City Administrator /Police Chief Kalstabakken, Parks
and Recreation Director Schultz, Finance Director May, and Public Works Supervisor Cook.
Mayor Elect Droste was also in attendance.
2003 Budget Discussion
A presentation was given by Finance Director Jeff May for the 2003 City of Rosemount budgets
and levies. May explained the proceedings that would be used this evening. Following the
presentation, clarification questions could be asked by the Council, followed by input from the
public, and finally, the Public Hearing would be closed by a motion after all testimony was
heard. The actual Council action on the budget would occur at the regular City Council meeting
on December 3, 2002.
Finance Director May noted the City process to review the budget started with staff drafting of
proposed budgets in March 2002. City Council began review of the budget in July. By
September 15` the Council certified the proposed levy to Dakota County. Further refinement
took place in each department until the final draft was established as presented. The City has $8
million dollars worth of ponds that will be called in February 2003 which will reduce the levy
needs by approximately $270,000. The Local Government Aid (LGA) that the City receives
from the State is in jeopardy for next year because of the State's deficit issues. Because a city is
structured mostly on services, if we don't receive the expected funds it cannot be recouped
directly from the residents after the levies are given to the County. Staff suggests taking the
general levy to the maximum amount allowed, $6,293,411, to fully cover our anticipated needs.
May reviewed the reasons for the increases in each department. A significant portion of the
increases were for adding four additional employees in various departments. Also, the health
care benefits have increased 10 °A for 2003 with an additional 30% anticipated for 2004.
Additional funds were set up for improving the imaging system for records, preparing for the
implementation of GASB 34 which will be required for our city by the State in 2003, and adding
additional cable programming. Also, a Sidewalk Maintenance Program will be initiated to make
needed repairs to our sidewalk inventory. This is recommended by the City's Engineering
Department and by our insurance risk management consultant.
The City's tax capacity values have averaged increases of 12% to 20% annually the last several
years. These increases have allowed us to maintain fairly constant tax capacity rates in years that
the State has not changed the valuation system. The proposed final levy, together with our
valuation increases, will produce a decrease in rate from 59.546% in 2002 to approximately
57.116;% in 2003. Last year the maximum levy was not used so this year the budgets proposed
call is for the full levy amount. The State Legislature changed the allocations in 2002 as it began
funding a significantly larger share of the school districts needs. This in turn, increased the City's
share of funding needs. In 2001, the City tax capacity rate was 36.5 in 2002 it was 59.5% and
in 2003 it will be 57.1 The County's rate is 32.4 the School District's rate is 26.3% and the
Miscellaneous Districts rate is 5.5% in 2003.

Finance Director May made a comparison of costs for a resident with a home valued at
$200,000. The comparison divided the department budgets into yearly, monthly and daily costs.
May used the examples of police service costing $206 a year, $17.17 per month, and $.56 per
day. Street maintenance was $121 a year, $10.15 per month and $.33 per day. May pointed out
you could argue that you don't use these services, but they are available and are not very
expensive in comparison to other services we choose to purchase such as a home security system
or a snow plowing or lawn care service.
Mayor Busho thanked Finance Director May for the good PowerPoint presentation and all staff
for their input. Mayor Busho opened the Public Hearing for resident comments.
Keith Bester, 1697 145th Street East, complained about potholes he reported to the City that took
too long to repair. Bester also noted that the frontage road has a dip in it at County Road 42 by
the stop sign which collects water and freezes in the winter. Bester also asked why the residential
portion is more than the business portion. Finance Director May noted that Rosemount's
commercial /industrial percentage is almost the same as Eagan's, Apple Valley's, or Lakeville's.
Rosemount has the advantage of having a very large petroleum company that pays about 20° o of
our taxes. Rosemount does host a strong business base for community taxes although many
people don't think of it that way because they don't consider the east side businesses to be
Rosemount taxpayers.
Richard Daniels, 15136 Everleigh Circle, noted that Everleigh Park Association does its' own
street maintenance and would like to see some reduction in taxes because of this. Finance
Director May replied that the County has no way to survey everyone to give taxes out at different
rates.
No further comments were given.
Other Truth and Taxation Hearings impacting Rosemount residents are as follows:
Lrdependent School District December 3, 6 P.M. at the School District Office
Metropolitan Council December 4, 6 P.M. in St. Paul

which would be funded by Municipal State Aid Funds, so no assessments will be made to
individual property owners. Busho asked if this had been forwarded to the railroad yet? Weiss
noted that it will be after Council approval, but that the City Attorney has dealt with the railroad
in the past and this agreement is one of their standard forms.
MOTION by Edwards to approve the Stipulation Agreement with Soo Line Railroad Cotfipany

Animal Ordinance Revisions to City Code and Zoning Ordinance
Council Member Klassen recommended incorporating the wording from the Rochester Code of
Ordinances on Animals in place of the proposed Rosemount Code of Ordinances Section 7 -4 -A,
B, and C. Klassen considered this less cumbersome than the proposed Rosemount Ordinance.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
DECEMBER 3.2002
Klassen noted the rernoval of the last sentence in 106A.02 Subd. 2. Other changes included the
reference to Council President to "Mayor" and deleting the phrase "representing the area of the
City in which the owner resides" from 106A.18 Dangerous Dogs. Klassen also noted that she
would recommend keeping Rosemount Section 7 -4B -10 concerning manure maintenance and
wild animals.
Council Member Riley did not see representation in the Rochester Ordinance for residential
kennels, prosimians, horse issues that were discussed, deer issues, or manure and pasture
management. Riley said she had not been given enough time to fully review these changes and
therefore would not vote in favor of this Animal Ordinance.
MOTION by Klassen to accept this Animal Ordinance incorporating the Rochester Code as the
first reading.
Edwards clarified what items were included in Klessen's recommendation, noting that they deal
with animals not zoning issues. Motion Second by Edwards.
Mayor Busho called for discussion on the motion. Busho asked of staff if and how this limits the
number of animals a resident can possess? The Rochester ordinance would allow up to eight
animals. Code Enforcement Official O'Brien noted that the proposed Rosemount ordinance
allows three animals in a residential setting; five animals would require a residential kennel
license. O'Brien spoke to City of Rochester staff on animal control and they felt comfortable
with their ordinance. It also does not allow multi -year licensing for spaying and neutering or a
"grandfather clause" for animals that need to be registered. Edwards believed the breeders'
section 106A.19 covered this. Mayor Busho asked for further clarification from O'Brien.
Council Member Edwards objected stating this discussion was not germane to the motion and
that there was a motion on the floor. Edwards objected to discussion that includes contrasting
and comparing. Edwards moved the motion.
Mayor Busho asked for City Attorney LeFevere's opinion. LeFevete stated the Chair had ruled
that discussion was germane, although that process could be appealed. The question then was put
to Council to affirm the ruling of the Chair or to overturn the ruling of the Chair to stop
discussion at this point. Edwards challenged the ruling of the germaneness of discussion as to the
motion on the floor.
Council Meinliet Riley stated "I affirm the ruling of the Chair for the discussion to go on."
Council Member Edwards stated, "I already challenged, and you have to act on my challenge."
The City Attorney agreed. LeFevere recommended polling the Council at this time.
Poll of challenge to the ruling 61' the germaneness of discussion as to the motion on the floor.
Ayes: Edwards, Klassen, Cisewski. Nays: Busho, Riley. Ruling appealed. No further discussion
was allowed.
Poll of the motion by Klassen to accept this Animal Ordinance incorporating the Rochester Code
as the first reading. Ayes: Edwards, Klassen, Cisewski. Nays: Busho, Riley. Motion carried.

second reading. Ayes: Edwards, Klassen, Cisewski. Nays: Riley, Busho. Motion carried.
Council Member Klassen requested that staff prepare the revised proposal for consideration at
the December 17th Council meeting.
Mineral Extraction Zoning Text Amendments
City Planner Pearson presented a map showing the mineral deposit locations and their phases of
development. Pearson explained that an Envirotuttental Review is required by the State for any
mining of non metallic material based upon the amount of land involved. An Environmental
Assessment Worksheet (EAW) is required for mining on 40 to 160 acres. And an Environmental
Quality Board Environmental Impact Statement is required if it is more than 160 acres. The latter
review can take years and hundreds of pages of documents. Any new mining applicant will
require a Environmental Review of some sort.
Mayor Busho noted that the mining moratorium automatically expires on December 18th, 2002.
City Planner Pearson said the zoning ordinance would allow Council to custom tit the life span
of the permit to suit the mining activity. Most Rosemount mining would require a EAW. Mining
would be allowed in the Industrial Zoning Districts and this amendment would allow some
mining in the Agriculture Zoning District. The Mixed Use Industrial zoning is slated to include
mining in the future.
MOTION by Riley to ADOPT AMENDMENTS TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE
RELATIVE TO MINERAL EXTRACTION. Second by Busho. Ayes: Edwards, Klassen,
Cisewski, Busho, Riley. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Downtown Redevelopment Plan
City Planner Pearson noted the Planning Commission's review of the Downtown Plan. The
Planning Commission did not want to amend the Comprehensive Plan, but work within its frame
and the zoning ordinances. Pearson noted Council Member Cisewski recommendations and
implemented several of them. Pearson stated this is a working plan that would allow uses to
change within reason especially not knowing when development will actually take place. The
Dakota County Library is not scheduled to happen for eight years so the Planting Commission
acknowledged altemate sites that could be used. The Planning Commission looked for more
residential uses within the commercial area all though that would be a secondary use. More
mixed uses were encouraged and less brick requirements near the railroad tracks.
Council Member Cisewski had concerns about the boundary of the Downtown Overlay and
acceptable building materials. Cisewski said she could not support the Downtown Development
Plan as presented.
MOTION by Cisewski not to adopt the Downtown Redevelopment Plan with changes. Second
by Edwards. Discussion ensued.
Council Member Riley did not understand the reasons why Council Member Cisewski was not in
favor of this plan. Riley noted that Council has worked long and hard on this. Riley attended all
4
1
three workshops that URS Consultants held and this plan cost the City $30,000 which should be
put into action. URS consultant said if we continue to do nothing it will only worsen the area and
often times it's too late to do anything. Mayor Busho said she will be voting no On this motion
because she feels the plan is very good and she is ready to see some redevelopment happen
downtown.
POLL: Ayes: Klassen, Cisewski, Edwards. Nays: Busho, Riley. Motion carried.
Announcements
Mayor Busho noted the upcoming meetings; the Utilities Commission will hold its meeting on
December 9, 2002; there will not be a Port Authority sleeting on December 17; and the regular
City Council meeting will be held December 17, 2002.
The Truth in Taxation Public Hearing was held December 2 with a presentation of the 2003
Budget for the City of Rosemount. There were about five residents in attendance. Busho noted
that the 2003 Budget looks very good.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:50 p.m.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
DECEMBER 17, 2002
December 30, 2002 at which time Michael Herrmann and Jerry Herrmann would become the
new owners. Police Chief Kalstabakken did a background search and found there was no legal
cause for denial of this liquor license application. Jerry Herrrnamr's family operated a bowling
alley /dance hall for thirty years in Lonsdale Minnesota. His son, Michael, will be the new
manager at Shenanigan's. Michael is a graduate from Iowa State University. Jentink interviewed
the personal references given and found the Hennann's family to be held in high regard.
Fritz Dolejs, 12756 Denmark Ave., Apple Valley is the current owner of Shenanigan's. Dolejs
has owned the business for seventeen years. He reported that he has enjoyed his business in
Rosemount were he was always treated well by the City and staff. Dolejs noted that the
Hermanns are good people and will be an asset to the business community.
Michael Herrmann, 3518 North Douglas Drive, Crystal, Minnesota said he was excited about
managing Shenanigan's. Herrmann stated that the business is currently run well and he did not
plan to make any changes to the operations or floor plan.
Mayor Busho opened the Public Hearing for audience input. There were no comments from the

Klassen, Cisewski, Busho, Nays: None. Motion carried.
Public Hearing: Appeal of Board of Appeals and Adjustments Variance to Sign Ordinance
for John Frayne, Ken Rose Mall, 14555 South Robert Trail
City Planner Pearson reviewed the Planning Commission's process and approval of a variance
for a sign 124 square feet which is 44 square feet larger than the sign ordinance allows for. This
would be placed where the existing sign is on Highway 3. The variance was based on the
inability of placement of three allowable signs. The sign ordinance does allow three signs that
are 80 square feet but due to placement of other buildings, access points, and other business
signs, it would be very difficult to allow more than one sign because business signs also need to
be separated by 100 feet. On November 26, 2002 the Planning Commission did not have the
specific drawing of the proposed sign until presented at the meeting. This sign was 3 feet higher
than allowed and larger square footage than allowed. The Planning Commission approved it and
Council Member Klassen exercised her prerogative to appeal their decision. Pearson noted
ROSEMOUNT CiTY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
DECEMBER 17, 2002
options: a modified variance could be granted as Council sees fit, or to grant a sign for an
appropriate area, or to deny the sign.
Council Member Klassen's concern was that this sign would rival signs on County Road 42.
Klassen asked City Planner Pearson to state the difference between sign regulations on County
Road 42 and South Robert Trail. Pearson explained that the height is determined on County
Road 42 to be 20 of the wall elevation of the building and on South Robert Trail the height of
an allowed sign would be 15% of the building elevation. On County Road 42 that would be 17
feet in height and on South Robert Trail it is 12 feet in height. Rosemount Market Square was
granted a variance for the clock tower sign due to it being a landmark.
Council Member Cisewski questioned why the automobile repair store, which is a free standing
building, would need to be on the same sign as the mall. Pearson noted that the mall owners
agreed to have only one sign. The free standing building would be allowed to place a sign on the
exterior wall of its building and is allowed to use the large windows on South Robert Trail for
advertising.
Mayor Busho invited a representative of E E Enterprises. Mrs. Linda Frayne, 11800 Eden
Prairie, to give a presentation. Frayne was in favor of the sign variance. Frayne noted they have
invested over $200,000 in improvements to their building in the last year. Their current sign is
outdated and in need of repair. Frayne made a comparison to neighboring business signs and
suggested that if the sign size was compared to the square footage of the buildings. their
proposed sign could be twice the size proposed. The improved sign would especially benefit the
new businesses entering the mall which could increase their businesses and improve a higher tax
profit.
Mayor Busho opened the Public Hearing for audience input. There were no comments offered.
MOTION by Edwards to close the Public Hearing for the Appeal of Board of Appeals and
Adjustments Variance. Second by Klassen. Ayes: Four. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Council Member Cisewski noted her participation in the Downtown Plan and maintaining the
visual scope of the traditional downtown look. Cisewski said that the variance of two and one
half times larger than regulations was too drastic a change from the allowable sign ordinance.
Cisewski noted she has tried to be consistent and had voted against other signs that were not in
the best interest of the community. Cisewski applauded the improvements to the mall.
Mayor Busho asked what would be allowable for signage at the mall. Pearson said one 80 square
foot sign on South Robert Trail and possibly one on 145th Street West.
Linda Frayne said their current sign is 120 square foot. The proposed sign is not two and one-
half times larger than allowable.
Cisewski made a suggestion to allow an option to change the sign variance to 120 square feet,
limiting the height to 20 feet, and allow only one ground sign on Highway 3 (South Robert
Trail). Edwards indicated that would be acceptable to him. Busho asked about removal of the
auto business sign on the roof and removal of banners from the exterior of the mall. The roof
3

REGULAR MEETING
DECEMBER 17, 2002
sign has gone to court with a jury trail. That trail has been continued five or six times. Pearson
noted that the variance should be granted on its own merit, in tens of the limited site, not as a
trade off of removing a prohibitive sign. However, a condition of a building pemrit could be used
to insure removal of the roof sign.
Mrs. Frayne noted she was hoping for a larger sign than what is currently there. More tenants are
coming into the building and more signage space is needed. Six new office spaces are being
added.
Council Member Cisewski interpreted that the applicant was not willing to compromise.
MOTION by Cisewski to overturn the Board of Appeals and Adjustments. Second by Edwards.
Ayes: Cisewski, Edwards, Klassen. Nays: Busho. Motion carried.
Conditional Use Permit Amendment Fiber Optics To The Home
Council Member Edwards noted that the original discussion of Fiber Optics To The Home
specified that there would not be an antenna fame and now they are requesting three antennas of
ten feet and fourteen feet wide dishes. Edwards suggested tabling this until the January' meeting
because he would not be in favor of this amendment. City Attorney Vose noted that the 60 Day
Rule may apply. Nonnally the Conditional Use Permit expires after one year. Pearson said an
extension for 120 days could be applied for.
MOTION by Edwards to table 10a. Conditional Use Permit Amendment Fiber To The Home.
Second by Cisewski. Ayes: Edwards, Klassen, Cisewski. Nays: Busho. Motion to table carried.
Point of Privilege
Council Member Klassen called a point of privilege. Klassen reflected on the past
accomplishments that have enhanced the quality of life for the residents of Rosemount. Klassen
noted the shopping and services available from the Cub Food development, the Rosemount
Business Park, and Highway 3 reconstruction as the first step in downtown redevelopment.
Klassen thanked city staff and colleagues who shared in these accomplishments. Klassen thanked
the residents of Rosemount who elected her. Klassen stated it was with great regret that she
submits her resignation from the Rosemount City Council and Rosemount Port Authority
effective Friday. December 20. 2002.
MOTION by Edwards to receive and accept with regret Council Member Klassen's resignation
effective December 20, 2002. Second by Cisewski. Ayes: Edwards, Cisewski, Busho. Nays:
None. Motion carried.
City Attorney Vose related state law that a resolution acknowledging a resignation would not
allow a resignation to be withdrawn. Vose stated he was not suggesting that City Council act on
a resolution. Busho noted that neither she nor the City Clerk had yet received the written
resignation of Council Member Klassen. Council Member Klassen then did provide the City
Clerk with a written resignation letter.
Announcements
Mayor Busho noted the holiday hours of city hall. January 7 will be the sweating in of new
officials at 5:50 p.m. prior to the Port Authority meeting at 6:00 p.m. with the City Council at
7:30 p.m.
Mayor Busho extended her thanks as this is her last formal meeting. She said she enjoyed
serving the citizens of Rosemount and appreciate the support over the last twelve years.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:20 p.m.
