He explained that the motion include options for including or not including screening. Council Member Weisensel questioned the 3 foot height requirement for commercial buildings. He talked about the site lines. Mr. Lindahl stated that 3 feet was the number selected because it was the same as other requirements for rooftop equipment. Further discussion was held about a reasonable standard in Rosemount for commercial and residential uses. Council Member Shoe-Corrigan stated that over time the technology changes will address the aesthetic concerns. Mr. Lindahl provided more information about the proposed screening. Mayor Droste was concerned about the buffering. Mr. Lindahl explained the property owner would be responsible for the screening. The buffering would have to occur on the existing property. Community Development Director Lindquist explained that the screening proposed is only from the public right-of-way. Further discussion was held on the screening of mechanical equipment. Council Member Weisensel suggested eliminating the three foot requirement for commercial buildings. He wanted the site line to be the screening. Discussion was held about the height requirements within the residential zoning districts. Council Member Shoe-Corrigan questioned how the residential zoning would affect schools. Ms. Lindquist replied that schools are a non-residential land use. Further discussion was held about the screening requirements and setbacks. Ms. Lindquist stated that if Council feels that the setback is enough they should not adopt the screening requirements. Any IUP would require Council approval. The Council directed staff to amend the ordinance language to include that non-residential roof mounted systems will refer back to the zoning district standards but residential mounted systems will have a height requirement of 3 feet with the exception of schools and churches. Staff will make the recommended changes and bring back to the next meeting for consideration. NEW BUSINESS 9.a.
