petition, they tabled action for additional site inspection opportunities and agreed to take formal action
at the January 18, 1994 meeting. Pearson also advised that city council had approved a resolution in
support of a grant application by MVTA for a "high speed bus" project. Also discussed was the idea
of changing the Planning Commission meeting time from 5:00 to a more convenient time for city
residents to attend planning meetings. Planning Commissioners agreed it would be proper to allow
new planning commission members to comment on a modified planning commission meeting time.
Assistant Planner Pearson reviewed staff correspondence regarding the Dave Lawson rezoning petition
for Dave's Auto Body at 14785 South Robert Trail. The primary reason for the request is to change
Dave's Auto Body to a conforming status so that Mr. Lawson can obtain building permits to improve
his property. Discussion ensued regarding zoning ordinance enforcement issues.

Square" shopping center will require a planned unit development (PUD) review because it involves
multiple uses, multiple structures and multiple parcels. Pearson further explained that the shopping
center will be anchored by two major tenants on either end of the structure connected by small shops
in the center. Discussion regarding traffic patterns, minimum parking space requirements,
landscaping, and lighting ensued.

Planned Unit Development subject to the following considerations by the Planning Commission: 1)
that the proposed building expansion be modified to eliminate the encroachment into the existing utility
easement; 2) that the service area of the primary building fronting along 151st Street be further

include three different housing types, developed on multiple parcels and therefore will require a
Planned Unit Development review. Pearson explained that the proposed density meets the guidelines
of the Comprehensive Guide Plan and works out to less than six dwellings per acre. Pearson further
explained that the proposed street system provides for efficient dispersal of traffic with little or no
impact on the existing street system to the south. Discussion regarding the location, size, and
maintenance of the mini -park, proposed by the Parks and Recreation Committee, ensued.
Commissioners concurred that there was concern about the location and size of the park.
Representatives from Wensmann Homes were in attendance and provided answers to Commissioner
questioning. Commissioners directed staff to request that the Parks and Recreation Committee review
the concept of the proposed mini -park at their next meeting and provide a recommendation to the
Planning Commission, acquire the development's association documents to review, and prove that the
residential lots on Danville Avenue work without variances.
MOTION by Ingram to approve the Concept PUD for the Wensmann Sixth Addition for a Residential
Planned Unit Development subject to the following consideration by the Planning Commission: 1)
that the proposed density for the townhouse clusters be maintained in return for increased site
amenities as requested by the Parks and Recreation Committee and director; 2) that the City Engineer
approve the concept utility and grading plans indicating that existing infrastructure is capable of
serving the PUD; 3) that implementation of the abovementioned recommendations, as well as attention
to issues identified by the Planning Commission, will allow the residential PUD to be developed with
variance to lot width standards as specified in the Zoning Ordinance; 4) the site will be platted in
conformance with the City of Rosemount Subdivision Ordinance, as well as all construction
conforming with applicable building and fire codes; 5) review and recommendation by the Park Board

Assistant Planner Rick Pearson discussed the Rosemount Village Square Planned Unit Development
(PUD) and preliminary plat. The Carlson Properties of Rosemount, developer of the proposed
commercial PUD for the Rosemount Village Square Shopping Mall, has responded to Planning staff
and Planning Commission concerns in revisions to the mall's service entry area that eliminates traffic
flow conflicts, structure enhancement of the rear of the mall building, and intensification of
landscaping and screening of the dumpster area. Gary Vogel, project architect, discussed the details
of the modifications. After further discussion regarding easements on the northeast portion of the
site, Mr. Vogel stated the developer's willingness to modify the northeasterly corner of the building
to ensure future building expansion will not encroach into the utilities easement.
Considerable discussion ensued regarding access to the site from CSAH 42. Tom Heiberg, project
manager, stated that it is not the developer's intent to jeopardize the current Canada Avenue access
to County Road 42. Nor is it their objective to create a negative impact to property owners whose
access is off Chippendale Avenue. Mr. Heiberg also expressed the developer's willingness to work
with City staff /consultant for resolution of access issues that will be in the best interest for all
concerned.
Assistant Planner Pearson advised that Planning staff is of the opinion that the review process can
proceed to a public hearing with the City Council for final approval of the Rosemount Village Square
PUD and preliminary plat. Resolution of any outstanding off -site access issues can be addressed
along with public improvements and other issues, including park dedication, in the Planned Unit
Development Agreement. The C -4 zoning of the property is appropriate for the proposed use and
the proposed land use is consistent with the City of Rosemount Comprehensive Guide Plan:

Interim Administrator Ron Wasmund advised that USPCI, Inc. has petitioned the City for a text
amendment to the Rosemount Zoning Ordinance. Specifically, the amendment requested would
remove the definition of "non- hazardous industrial waste" from the Zoning Ordinance and
incorporate into the Facility Interim Use Permit the following: Non Hazardous Industrial Waste:
Solid waste generated from an industrial or manufacturing process. Non hazardous waste shall
not include: liquid wastes not processed at the facility; PCBs; infectious waste; non hazardous
industrial waste that is economically feasible to recycle; and radioactive or nuclear waste.
Basically, this request represents the applicant's desire to accept ash in all forms, including coal
ash.
Mr. Wasmund stated that staff has met with both Don Chapdelaine, USPCI, Inc. Public
Relations, and Rex Kraft, USPCI, Inc. Manager, to identify the technical issues related to
acceptance of ash and to become familiar with the standards set forth by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and Dakota County regarding ash
management and disposal. Both Mr. Chapdelaine and Mr. Kraft, as well as Ken Jackson,
USPCI Senior Vice President of Development, were in attendance to answer questions from the
Commission.
Considerable discussion ensued relative to the text amendment request of 1993 to accept coal ash
and the Planning Commission's comfort level specifically with the acceptance of coal ash. A
suggestion was made to modify the requested text amendment to allow coal ash acceptance only.
MOTION by McDermott to table action regarding the request from USPCI, Inc. to amend the
text of the zoning ordinance to accept ash into their facility and direct staff to continue
investigation of the technical aspects regarding the acceptability of ash and design standards and
provide the Commission with further information regarding the differences between all forms of
ash from combustion processes. Second by Ingram. Ayes: Tentinger, McDermott, Ingram,

Chairperson McDermott suspended the March 22, 1994 Regular Planning Commission Meeting
and opened the Board of Appeals and Adjustments at 6:00 p.m. to conduct two scheduled public
hearings.
The Recording Secretary had in her possessions Affidavits of Mailed and Posted Public Notice
and Publication for consideration of a Variance Petition submitted by Rosemount resident Mr.
Paul Wrolstad.
Mr. Wrolstad, 14545 Biscayne Way, is requesting consideration by the Board to allow him to
locate a single car garage five feet from his rear property line. The rear yard setbacks for
accessory structures over 150 square feet is thirty (30) feet. The 12' x 20' (240 sq.ft.) structure
was formerly attached to his residence. Planning staff has determined that placement of the
accessory building can be located within the ordinance required setbacks and recommends denial
of the petition supported on that basis.
Mr. Wrolstad addressed the Board and discussed the purpose of the structure is for personal
storage of lawn and seasonal equipment. He also noted his preference for the proposed location
because it represents the least visibility impact on an abutting neighbor's living room window.
There were no other persons present for public comment.
Chairperson McDermott closed the Board of Appeals and Adjustments.
Discussion by the Board proceeded with general consensus as to concern for setting a precedent
when all of the required five findings can not be established. Also, the opportunity is there to
locate the structure and meet minimum ordinance requirements.
MOTION by Ingram to deny the variance to rear yard setback as requested by Mr. Paul
Wrolstad, 14545 Biscayne Way, because it does not meet the required findings of Section
15.2.G. of Ordinance B City of Rosemount Zoning Ordinance. Second by Droste. Ayes:
McDermott, Ingram, Droste, Tentinger. Nays: 0.
Assistant Planner Pearson advised the petitioner that he has an option to appeal the decision of
the Board of Appeals and Adjustments to the City Council as provided for in the zoning
ordinance.
Chairperson McDermott opened a second scheduled Public Hearing at 6:12 p.m. for
consideration of the Variance Petition submitted by Walbon Partnership, 4230 Pine Bend Trail.
The Recording Secretary had in her possession Affidavits of Posting, Mailing, and Publication
of the Public Notice.
Assistant Planner Rick Pearson advised that Mr. Darby Walbon, Walbon Partnership, is
requesting several variances that would enable them to construct a building addition and make
paving improvements that encroach into front yard setback areas. In 1985 Walbon Partnership
occupied the building which was originally constructed in 1973. The site is in the IG General
Industrial zoning district. Due to a lack of specified setback standards for parking and drives in
the Zoning Ordinance in 1973, several nonconforming standards currently exist. The proposed
improvements would further impact those setback encroachments. Ron and Richard Walbon,
Walbon Partnership, and their site plan engineer were present to further discuss the requested

variances and the complexity of the request due to the uniqueness of the nonconforming
irregular- shaped lot.
There were no other persons in the audience for public comment, therefore, Chairperson
McDermott closed the Public Hearing.
MOTION by Ingram to grant a variance to building and parking lot front yard setbacks as
specified in Section 7.1 and 7.2 of Ordinance B City of Rosemount Zoning Ordinance because

Ingram, Droste, McDermott. Nays: Tentinger. Motion passes.
Chairperson McDermott closed the Board of Appeals and Adjustments and reconvened the
March 22, 1994 Regular Planning Commission Meeting at 6:35 p.m.
Discussion ensued regarding the details of the site plan for the Walbon Partnership including
building aesthetic treatment, building addition use, parking lot design and space requirements,
proposed landscaping, and access to public roads.
MOTION by Ingram to approve the Walbon Partnership site plan for a 7,660 square -foot
building addition and supplementary parking area subject to: 1) elimination of encroachments
onto neighboring properties or acquisition of easements for use of those affected properties; 2)
acquisition of easements for ponding on the parcel southeast of the site and removal of the rock
piles and other debris originating from Walbon Partnership; 3) removal of trailers and junk
adjacent to the railroad right -of -way for conformance with Section 4.9.D. (Outdoor Storage) of
Ordinance B City of Rosemount Zoning Ordinance; 4) posting of a security in the form of a
letter of credit, performance bond, or cash escrow in an amount recommended by City staff to
assure required landscaping; 5) conformance with applicable building and fire codes; and 6)

Ayes: Droste, McDermott, Ingram. Nays: Tentinger. Motion passes.
Mr. Harry Willcox, Rosemount resident and former City Council Member, and Mr. Frank
Hornstein and Mr. Dave Evans, Clean Water Action Alliance (CWAA), addressed the Planning
Commission stating their opposition to the request for a zoning ordinance text amendment that
would permit USPCI, Inc. to accept ash for disposal at their facility in eastern Rosemount.

a Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment was adopted to create a process for interim commercial
outdoor uses in the Agriculture and General Industrial Districts. Discussion was held regarding
the IUP Agreement and the specifics of the conditions of the permit. The permits will require
renewal with an opportunity for further City review for compliance with the requirements of the
IUPs.

from The Adventure Zone and Splatball, Inc., and for the preliminary plat for the Hinzman
Addition. These hearings will be held on April 19, 1994 at 8:00 p.m. Public Hearings were
conducted by the City Council on April 5, 1994 and favorable action was taken for the
rezonings of Lot 1, Block 1, Rosemount Business Park, O'Leary's Hills Seventh Addition, and
O'Leary's Hills Eighth Addition. Also, on April 5, 1994 final plat approvals were given for
Shannon Pond Second and Third Additions, O'Leary's Hills Seventh and Eighth Additions, and

Commissioner DeBettignies questioned the developer as to their method of attaining approval of
the modified planned unit development without benefit of Planning Commission review. He
expressed disappointment that the process had not been followed and was not in conformance
with City procedures, noting his concern that a precedent is being set.
Vice Chairperson Droste suspended the April 12, 1994 Regular Planning Commission Meeting
and opened the Board of Appeals and Adjustments at 6:00 p.m. to conduct a scheduled public
hearing. The Recording Secretary had in her possessions Affidavits of Mailed and Posted Public
Notice and Publication for consideration of a Variance Petition submitted by Mr. Leroy
Mullikin.
Mr. Mullikin, 4060 145th Street West, is requesting approval of a subdivision of his property
which is located on the southwest corner of Shannon Parkway and 145th Street West. Although
he should plat the subdivision, he is requesting a variance to the City of Rosemount Subdivision
Ordinance so that he can essentially get approval of a simple lot split. The simple lot division
will create a new lot for single family use.
Assistant Planner Pearson reviewed the history of the request which included special
circumstances with regard to complications involving a vacated right -of -way along Mr.
Mullikin's easterly lot line. The incentive to the City of having the vacated parcel combined
with Mr. Mullikin's property is to eliminate a parcel that is unbuildable by itself and is located
on the corner of two collector streets.
The combined parcel can be subdivided to create a new corner lot that meets all standards in
terms of size, width, and setbacks. Therefore, Planning staff believes that findings can be made
to grant the variance to the Subdivision Ordinance to allow the lot combination /split procedure.
There were no other persons present for public comment.
Vice Chairperson Droste closed the Board of Appeals and Adjustments.
MOTION by Ingram to grant approval of the Variance Petition as requested by Mr. Leroy
Mullikin to permit combination of the vacated right -of -way with Lot 1, Block 1, Evergreen
Acres and the subdivision of the combined parcel without platting. Second by Tentinger. Ayes:
Tentinger, Droste, Ingram, DeBettignies. Nays: 0.
Vice Chairperson Droste closed the Board of Appeals and Adjustments and reconvened the April
12, 1994 Regular Planning Commission Meeting at 6:15 p.m.
MOTION by DeBettignies to recommend to City Council approval of the Mullikin subdivision
subject to: 1) one driveway access to the newly created lot will be allowed and that it shall be
as far from the intersection as practical; and 2) payment of Park Dedication in the amount of
$560.00 equivalent to one residential unit. Second by Tentinger. Ayes: Ingram, Droste,
DeBettignies, Tentinger. Nays: 0.
Discussion ensued regarding the final plat for Rosemount Village Square. The Commissioners
concurred that the redesign of the plat and site plan provided an opportunity for improved
vehicular movement for increased safety.

REGULAR MEETING MINUTES APRIL 26, 1994
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof the Regular Meeting of the Planning Commission was duly
held on Tuesday, April 26, 1994 at 5:15 p.m. Chairperson McDermott called the meeting to
order with members DeBettignies, Tentinger, Ingram, and Droste present. Also in attendance
was Assistant Planner Rick Pearson and City Engineer Bud Osmundson.
Chairperson McDermott requested Item 4. b. Open House: Regional Blueprint be moved to New
Business, Item 6.e. Consensus agreed.
MOTION by DeBettignies to approve the April 12, 1994 Regular Planning Commission Meeting
Minutes as presented. Second by Droste. Ayes: DeBettignies, Tentinger, McDermott, Ingram,
Droste. Nays: None.
Assistant Planner Pearson gave a brief summary of the City Council's actions last week. No
discussion was generated.
Assistant Planner Pearson advised that the Dakota County Housing and Redevelopment Authority
has requested an expansion of their Rosemount building at 2496 145th Street West. Mr. John
Natwick of CNH Architects, Inc. is requesting site plan review approval for a 5000 square foot
addition. It will be added to the south elevation of the building and will consist of general office
space and three garage stalls. Pearson reviewed the access and parking, the building accents and
landscaping. Discussion ensued.
MOTION by Droste to approve the site plan as presented by the Dakota County Housing and
Redevelopment Authority subject to conformance with applicable building and fire codes. Second
by Tentinger. Ayes: Tentinger, McDermott, Ingram, Droste, DeBettignies. Nays: None.
Assistant Planner Pearson presented the preliminary plat for "Eastbridge a Residential Planned
Unit Development by CMC Heartland Partners, Inc. The project is planned to be done in four
phases with 192 single family lots in 115 acres. It is located west of Biscayne, south of 145th
Street West, north of CR 42, and east of the railroad tracks, next to Greif Brothers, Inc. The
first phases will start nearest to CR 42 and will probably be ready in the spring of 1995. Dakota
County road engineers noted that CR 42 is to become a Principle Arterial Roadway and that any
access onto it is not encouraged. City Engineer Osmundson noted that a 75 ft. water main
easement will be needed with a grading plan and an emergency overland spillway.
Tentinger questioned the length of the cul -de -sac street. Pearson noted that ordinance necessitates
the street be less than 700 feet. Osmundson said the street is 580 feet long, within standards.
Tentinger asked about the lane alignment on CR 42. Pearson said that if a center island is used
there would be a one way turn in; it could be a 3/4 intersection.
Tentinger requested that the park be built with the first phase of development.
Ingram asked about the opening dates. Wayne Delfino said a model home would likely be open
February, 1995. Lot sizes and double front lots were discussed.

Droste inquired if Biscayne Avenue would be paved. Osmundson replied that no request has been
made at this time, a petition from the developer is needed. At this time truck traffic is not
permitted on Biscayne Avenue. Droste asked if there will be sidewalks? Pearson replied that
only some streets will have sidewalks.
McDermott asked about the MUSA designation and zoning. The development is in the MUSA
area and the zoning is now Industrial Business Park, which will be rezoned to Urban
Residential/Commercial.
DeBettignies asked about the railroad turnabout spur which is now owned by the University of
Minnesota. The contract with the University is in its final stages. The waterline that runs
through the property will have to be relocated. SEH Engineering has done a study on the
drainage.
McDermott noted that the proposed 20 -foot and 5 -foot street side and garage side setbacks will
limit the size of housing on some lots. Pearson said, however, it does met our zoning code
standards.
Droste was concerned with the lot alignment by Lot 1 and Lot 5. It is similar to the Shannon
Hills issues. Also, some corner lot side -yards do not set out what direction the houses will face.
Droste would like to inform the residents of Biscayne Way and 145th St. W. near the
development of the progress being made.
Ingram noted that the curved roads and cul -de -sacs are what home buyers like to see. This means
less and slower traffic, hence a safer environment to raise families. Ingram would like to see
bigger lots.
Osmundson discussed access to the business area. If the entrances on CR 42 are limited, then the
traffic to the convenience stores will have to go through the development. This usually means
additional maintenance and upkeep by the City.
City Engineer Osmundson questioned CMC Heartland as to the maintenance of the strip of land
next to Greif Brothers, Inc. CMC noted that is a major access into Eastbridge from 145th Street
West and they assured the City they wanted it to look pleasing.
MOTION by Tentinger to recommend to City Council approval of the concept review for the
Residential Planned Unit Development "Eastbridge" subject to the resolution of the rezoning from
Business Park to R -1 Single Family Residential (Detached) and two additional parcels which will
have to be rezoned to C -1 Convenience Commercial and R -2 Single Family (Attached) for the
final development plan. Second by Droste. Ayes: McDermott, Ingram, Droste, DeBettignies.
Nays: Tentinger.
Assistant Planner Pearson reviewed the request from Mr. Richard Cliff and his daughter, Nancy,
for an Agricultural Lot Split to create a 2.5 acre single family lot in the Agriculture District
approximately one mile north of County Road 38 on the west side of Akron Avenue. The
Subdivision Ordinance provides for an exception to platting requirements for lot splits in the
Agriculture District when created for residential use. The housing density there allows one unit
per ten acres and this is well below that density.

MOTION by DeBettignies to recommend to City Council approval of the Agricultural Lot Split
for Mr. Richard Cliff and his daughter Nancy, subject to: 1) payment of one residential unit of
park dedication in the amount of $560; 2) percolation tests indicating the parcel's ability to
accommodate a private on -site septic system with an alternative location; and 3) approval from
the Dakota County Platting Commission be given in conformance with the Dakota County

Assistant Planner Pearson noted that the Metropolitan Council is having a public hearing for the
draft document of the Regional Blueprint for the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. The meeting
date is May 19, 1994, at 7 p.m. at the Metropolitan Council Chambers in Mears Park Centre.
Some sections of the document do directly apply to development rights in Rosemount. Policy
issues could curtail the expansion of MUSA. Commissioners are encourage to participate in this
hearing by attending, commenting, or writing.
Pearson also noted a public scoping meeting regarding the Metropolitan Airports Commission
New Airport Comprehensive Plan Alternative Environmental Document (AED). The meeting
will be May 12, 1994, 7:00 p.m. at the Hastings Middle School, 9th Street and Vermillion Street.
This is still considered the dual track method: moving ahead with plans to build a new airport,
while considering improvements to the old airport. This process wouldn't be complete until the
year 2010. The issue of land development in the near future may be slowed due to restrictions
for the new airport. Attendance at this public scoping by Commissioners is encouraged.
The Commissioners thanked staff and Commissioner Droste noted that Mark DeBettignies was
nominated for the Citizen of the Year Award at the Rosemount Shamrock Dinner.
Congratulations to Commissioner DeBettignies for the honor of being nominated.
MOTION by McDermott to adjourn. Second by DeBettignies. There being no further business

REGULAR MEETING MINUTES MAY 10, 1994
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof the Regular Meeting of the Planning Commission was
duly held on Tuesday, May 10, 1994 at 5:15 p.m. Chairperson McDermott called the

their property to permit single family residential use of their 115 -acre parcel located south of
County Road 42, north of 145th Street, and west of Biscayne Avenue. Commissioner
Tentinger had voted to recommend denial of the rezoning request and expressed his desire to
clarify his position stating that his belief that the subject parcel is better suited for a business
park use rather than a residential use as a basis for his negative recommendation.
Ill MOTION by DeBettignies to table action on the April 26, 1994 Regular Planning
Commission Meeting Minutes to allow staff to expand on the narrative held regarding the
proposed Eastbridge subdivision on the CMC property. Second by Tentinger. Ayes:

Assistant Planner Rick Pearson advised that at their regular meeting on May 3, 1994 City
Council approved the Leroy Mullikin Subdivision /Lot Combination. Approval was also
given for the agricultural lot split request from Richard and Nancy Cliff.
Commissioner Droste advised that he had attended a Metropolitan Council public information
open house regarding the Council's proposed regional strategies for a healthy and vital
economy. Those strategies are included in a draft Regional Blueprint, the Council's key
policy document for guiding growth and development in the region. Commissioner Droste
advised that the presentation by Met Council was very informative and encouraged
attendance by City Council members, Planning Commissioners, and other city committees
and staff at the May 19, 1994 public hearing regarding the Regional Blueprint to provide
input into the plan and to represent key issues relative to and affecting the interests of the
City of Rosemount.
Assistant Planner Pearson briefly reviewed previous discussions regarding an amendment to
the Zoning Ordinance that would permit cemeteries in the Public /Quasi Public (PB) District
by planned unit development (PUD) and conformance with proposed performance standards.
Staff has elected to proceed with a text amendment although a decision by the Islamic
community to develop specific property for a cemetery have been suspended for outside
reasons. Discussion included general development criteria for cemeteries. Discussion was
deferred until later in this meeting to allow Planning staff to provide additional ordinance
information regarding current information on Public /Quasi -Public District regulations.

Mr. Ronald Enright, 12305 Chinchilla Court, owns several parcels of land in the RR Rural
Residential District north of County Road 38. Mr. Enright is requesting a relocation of a
common boundary line between two adjacent parcels one of which is the location of his
residence. A "pan handle", attached to the three -acre parcel would be combined with the
two -acre parcel an adjustment to the common property line. The resulting 2.5 -acre lots
rectifies a lot area deficiency. No new parcels are being created and there is an exception to
subdivision platting requirements because the request is limited to the relocation of a
common boundary.
MOTION by DeBettignies to recommend to City Council approval of the relocated boundary
line as requested by Ronald Enright subject to the re- combination of the .5 -acre parcel with
the 2 -acre parcel. Second by Ingram. Ayes: Tentinger, McDermott, Ingram, Droste,
DeBettignies. Nays: 0.
Mr. Brett Twining, A -1 Concrete Unit Step Co., Inc., has applied for a building permit to
construct a 4,800 square foot storage building on his property located at 5480 142nd Street
East. A site plan has been submitted for Planning Commission review and approval. The
property is zoned IG General Industrial and the proposed structure meets minimum setback
as well as all other requirements for the district with the exception of aesthetic treatment for
the northerly portion of the building. Mr. Twining as submitted a Variance Petition
requesting an exception to required aesthetic treatment to the northerly portion of the
proposed storage building.
Chairperson McDermott suspended the April 26, 1994 Regular Meeting and opened the
Board of Appeals and Adjustments at 6:00 p.m. to conduct a scheduled public hearing. The
Recording Secretary had in her possessions Affidavits of Mailed and Posted Public Notice
and Publication for consideration of a variance to minimum aesthetic standards in the IG
General Industrial District.
Assistant Planner Rick Pearson advised that the General Industrial District standards require
brick, wood, or concrete alternatives to metal on 50 of all wall surfaces abutting public
right -of -way and public or residential uses or districts. Mr. Twining is requesting the
proposed building be constructed with 75 metal and 25 textured concrete along all four
walls. With the exception of the wall facing County Road 38, the elevations of the
remaining three walls are consistent with ordinance standards. Mr. Twining stated that
storage of precast concrete products on the concrete apron along the building facing County
Road 38 to the north would completely obscure any additional treatment to the face of the
structure.
There were no other persons present for public comment.
Chairperson McDermott closed the Board of Appeals and Adjustments.
MOTION by Ingram to grant approval of the Variance Petition for a proposed accessory
structure for A -1 Concrete, Inc. as requested by Mr. Brett Twining, owner, for a reduction
of architectural aesthetic material standards subject to provision of additional landscaping in

establishing cemeteries as a permitted use in the Public /Quasi -Public District. Several issues
were identified regarding legal procedures for the assessing of improvements and
appropriateness for collection of hook -up fees.
MOTION by DeBettignies to table action on the proposed zoning ordinance text amendment
for the establishment and permitting of cemeteries within the City of Rosemount to allow
staff to further investigate legal issues in relationship to public utilities and assessments and
clarification as to who is responsible for payment for these services; and, further, to research
what the current practices are for churches and cemeteries as accessory uses. Second by
Tentinger. Ayes: Droste, DeBettignies, Tentinger, McDermott, Ingram. Nays: 0.
Mr. Robert Guetschoff, GTI Theaters, Inc., was present in the audience to submit his request
for a zoning ordinance text amendment that would allow the new theater in Carousel Plaza
South to have chasing and running lights on the sign marque or reader boards and the tower
that extends above the roof of the theater. Assistant Planner Rick Pearson provided an
overview of the request and discussed a draft ordinance that had been prepared by Planning
staff for Commissioner review.
In their review the Planning Commissioner raised several questions and requested further
definition and specificity be included in the draft ordinance encompassing additional verbiage
and technical standards. The Commission expressed further definition of "tower" which
would identify criteria for determining whether an appurtenance is "architectural" or a
"sign."
MOTION by Ingram to defer action regarding a proposed zoning ordinance text amendment
to allow chasing and running lights on movie theater marque signs until further review and
clarification can be researched by staff regarding technical data with reference to said
proposal. Second by Droste. Ayes: DeBettignies, Tentinger, McDermott, Ingram, Droste.
Nays: 0.
MOTION by DeBettignies to adjourn. Second by Droste. There being no further business

CMC Heartland Partners has submitted a final planned unit development proposal and is
requesting approval for the final PUD, preliminary plat, and rezoning for the residential
Eastbridge subdivision. The Eastbridge development project is proposed to be located north
of County Road 42, east of State Highway 3, south of 145th Street and west of Biscayne
Avenue. The total site area of Eastbridge consists of approximately 115.87 acres and
includes 192 single family lots (average lot size of 12,000 square feet); a 2 -acre public
neighborhood park; and parcels B, C, D, and E identified for ponding and future commercial
and cluster housing (consisting of 31.3 acres). The outlots are generally situated at the
southeasterly intersection of County Road 42 and Highway 3. Current zoning of the
property is IP Industrial Park; however, the City of Rosemount Comprehensive Guide Plan
designates this property for urban residential land use.
Mr. Glen Sexton, Director of Construction for CMC Heartland Partners, presented an
overview of the development and described the proposed phasing, landscaping,
sidewalk/trail, and street layout plans and identified modifications to the concept plan as a
result of previous discussion and city recommendations.
Assistant Planner Pearson discussed details of the proposed plat and related some issues
identified by staff including: 1) park development relative to the development phasing plan;
2) street and lot design; 3) proposed accesses to County Road 42 and Biscayne Avenue; 4)
railroad spur relocation timing; and 5) proposed landscaping and screening from major
arterials and the railroad.
Mr. Wayne Delfino, Vice President of Development for CMC Heartland Partners, and Mr.
Reid Hansen, local legal counsel, responded to Planning Commissioner questions with regard
to the timetable for the public park development and the relocation of the railroad spur.
Concern was expressed by CMC Heartland representatives regarding City staff's
recommendation for an upgraded east -west street to act as a residential subcollector designed
to carry higher traffic volumes. CMC Heartland representatives further advised that seeding
and grading of the park prior to completion of phase 3 of the development would result in a
disturbance of any ground work that had been accomplished up to that point. !s Panted on recycled paper

The Commissioners concurred with the Parks and Recreation Committee recommendation to
complete the park as soon as possible so that a recreational amenity will be provided to the
residents in phases 1 and 2 of the development.
Commissioner Tentinger reiterated his position that the proposed residential use of this
property is inappropriate and indicated that the current Industrial Park zoning of this property
is more conducive because of the site's access to the existing rail and location to major
arterials.
MOTION by DeBettignies to recommend to City Council approval of the Eastbridge
residential Planned Unit Development with lot width variances, preliminary plat, and
rezoning subject to: 1) modification of the phasing plan to include direct access to Biscayne
Avenue or 145th Street West in the first phase; 2) provision of sidewalks and trails as
specified by the Parks and Recreation Committee with grading and seeding of the park at the
time of initiation of the third phase with park dedication fees to be paid for each phase at the
time of fmal plat approval; 3) evidence of Developer ownership of the land included in the
preliminary plat; 4) execution of an agreement with CP Rail (Soo Line) providing for the
relocation of the railroad spur; 5) screening of all residential areas from highways and
railroad lines subject to City staff approval of planting strips that effectively screen view and
reduce noise levels; 6) provision of an east -west through street access connecting Biscayne
Avenue to commercial and cluster housing land uses; 7) proposed densities for the cluster
housing and conceptual street accesses; 8) grading and utility plans and specifications
approved by the city engineer; and 9) execution of a planned unit development and master
subdivision agreement. Second by Ingram. Ayes: DeBettignies, Ingram. Nays: Tentinger.
Motion passes.
MOTION by DeBettignies to recommend that City Council schedule a public hearing to hear
testimony regarding the Eastbridge Planned Unit Development, preliminary plat, and
rezoning. Second by Ingram. Ayes: Ingram, DeBettignies. Nays: Tentinger. Motion
passes.
Mr. Scott Teigen and Curt Mills were in attendance to request approval of a planned unit
development, preliminary plat and fmal plat to allow for the construction of a Kwik Trip gas
station/convenience store to be located on the former Strese Oil site at 14810 South Robert
Trail. The developer is proposing to combine property acquired from the railroad with the
"Strese Oil" site that will enlarge the parcel and permit development of the Kwik Trip.
Because multiple parcels are involved, as well as the combined convenience store /self -serve
gas uses, the planned unit development (PUD) process is required.
The Commissioners were provided details regarding the proposed lot combination, access and
circulation design, building elevations, and landscaping. Assistant Planner Pearson advised
that this development proposal is a permitted use of the existing C -3 Highway Service
Commercial zoning of the site. The property is currently fully developed and is
nonconforming with several ordinance standards. No natural features are left that can be
preserved. Planning staff recommends approval of the Kwik Trip proposed commercial
concept planned unit development with variance to rear yard setback standards because it is
consistent with the intent of the City of Rosemount Comprehensive Guide Plan, development

will not be detrimental to surrounding properties, and the plan is more creative and will
provide a better living, working, and shopping environment that is possible under strict
ordinance requirements.
MOTION by Tentinger to approve the concept plan for the Commercial Planned Unit
Development for the proposed development of a Kwik Trip convenience store and self
service gas station on the property currently addressed as 14810 South Robert Trail. Second

Mr. Kevin Sullivan and Mr. Shmulik Etziony, Wold Architects and representatives for
Independent School District 196, were in attendance to request site plan approval of a 650
seat auditorium addition to the Rosemount High School located at 3335 142nd Street West.
The 17,500 square foot addition will be attached to the north and east wings of the building
near the pond. A 20 -foot wide bituminous driveway will connect the auditorium to 142nd
Street between the school and baseball diamond. The proposal is consistent with permitted
land uses in the existing Public /Quasi Public zoning district of the site. No additional
parking is required and the proposal meets minimum ordinance standards.
MOTION by DeBettignies to approve the site plan for the Rosemount High School
auditorium addition subject to conformance with applicable building and fire codes. Second
by Tentinger. Ayes: DeBettignies, Tentinger, Ingram. Nays: 0.
Assistant Planner Rick Pearson advised that Mr. Jeff Hawkins, Vermillion State Bank, has
submitted a site plan for an 1,800 square foot structure proposed to be located on a .7 -acre
lot in South Rose Park Addition Replat situated on the southwest corner of 151st Street West
and Carrousel Way and is zoned C -4 General Commercial. Two accesses are proposed with
one on 151st Street and one on Carrousel Way. In their review staff has raised a safety issue
regarding the proposed access onto Carrousel Way due to the proximity to the intersection.
Staff has stated a preference for both ingress /egress to occur on 151st Street west to protect
the integrity of the Carrousel Way /151st Street intersection.
Mr. Hawkins was in attendance and addressed the Commission with his concern for staff
recommendation regarding access. He stated his believe that two driveways onto 151st Street
would increase traffic congestion due to proposed access points to the future retail center to
be constructed directly to the north of this site. Discussion of alternative ingress /egress
designs ensued with a conceived modification agreed upon by both staff and the petitioner
providing for ingress /egress on 151st Street only.
MOTION by DeBettignies to approve the site plan for the Vermillion State Bank without
access to Carrousel Way subject to: 1) approval of a drainage plan with a catch basin by the
City Engineer; 2) modification of the landscaping plan to be reviewed and approved by City
planning staff; 3) posting of a security for the landscaping in the amount of $2,400 in the
form of a letter of credit, performance bond, or cash escrow; 4) approval of access revisions
by the city engineer; 5) conformance with applicable building and fire codes; and 6)
resubmittal to the Planning Commission for further site plan review if consensus and staff
approval cannot be reached regarding reconfiguration of the access to and from the site.

Commissioner DeBettignies arrived and took his seat on the dais at 5:20 p.m.
Assistant Planner Pearson reviewed the proposed zoning ordinance text amendment that
would permit alternating /rhythmic lighting on movie theater marquees. The criteria for the
defining of differences between towers and roof -top signs was also discussed with staff's
recommendation that the distinction between towers and roof -top signs be addressed in the
ordinance. Staff has reviewed the construction plans and has determined that the proposed
"tower" on the GTI theater qualifies as a structure because it meets the definition and criteria
for spires, belfries, bell towers, cupolas, domes, monuments, and flagpoles as permitted in
Section 7.2B Supplementary Height Regulations. The draft ordinance states that running
and chasing lights shall not extend above roof lines.
Mr. Bob Guetschoff was present in the audience and introduced the master electrician
(Michael) who provided detailed technical information and described the properties associated
with the proposed "intermittent" lighting on the theater marquee.
Discussion by the Commission resumed regarding what the minimum criteria for "running
and chasing" lights should be and whether or not further clarification is needed in the
proposed ordinance regarding the definition of "roof line" and further distinction between
"running chasing" and "sequential" lighting.
MOTION by DeBettignies to recommend to City Council approval of a zoning ordinance
text amendment to allow chasing and running lights on movie theater marquee signs. Second

Mr. Scott Teigen, Director of Real Estate for CSi, has submitted a final commercial planned
unit development (PUD) and preliminary plat for the construction of a Kwik Trip
convenience store /self service gasoline sales development on the former Strese Oil site at
14810 South Robert Trail. The PUD process is required because multiple parcels are
involved, as well as the combined uses of retail and self service gas. The majority of the
property is in the C-3 Highway Service Commercial District. However, a rezoning to C -3 of
contiguous railroad right -of -way property which is to be combined with the original parcel
will be a condition for final plat approval.
Discussion continued regarding aesthetics of the 3,024 square foot building, minimum code
requirements for underground and aboveground fuel storage tanks, landscaping and
grading /drainage plans, access to South Robert Trail and internal
circulation design.
MOTION by Tentinger to recommend to City Council approval of the Kwik Trip
Commercial Planned Unit Development, Preliminary Plat, and Rezoning subject to: 1) the
combination of parcels for Kwik Trip be platted as one; 2) any remnant parcels shall be

approval of a final plat and rezoning from AG Agriculture to BP -2 Business Park for Lot 1,
1110 Block 2, Rosemount Business Park. This item has been resubmitted to the Planning
Commission at this time because the lot differs somewhat from original discussions in terms
of size and location. A specific site plan for Lemna Corporation drives the lot
reconfiguration. City Council has scheduled a public hearing for June 21, 1994 for
discussion of the rezoning.

Mr. Greg A. du'Monceaux, architect with Caliber Development Corporation, was present in
the audience and submitted a site plan for review and approval for an office /warehouse
proposed for construction on Lot 1, Block 2, Rosemount Business Park. Lemna Corporation
wishes to construct and locate in one -half of a proposed 50,000 square foot building on the

provide expansion opportunities for Lemna Corp. A second phase may accommodate an
additional 20,000 square foot building also intended for office /warehouse use.
Review and discussion included proposed phasing, internal traffic circulation and design,
ponding, landscaping plan, and aesthetic treatment of the buildings. Mr. du'Monceaux
advised that the applicant would be willing to provide additional landscaping screening as

Commissioner Tentinger expressed his concern regarding Metropolitan Council
recommendations to the legislature without benefit of City of Rosemount comment and input
regarding issues relevant to the future of Rosemount. Mr. Tentinger encouraged the
Commission, as well as the City Council to become more involved in the Metropolitan
Council process. It was suggested that Rosemount issue a formal statement in the form of a
resolution establishing for the record the interests of the City of Rosemount. Hopefully, this
could be added to a future agenda for formal recommendation and approval.
Commissioner DeBettignies also stated his request to initiate an amendment to the Planning
Commission Bylaws to establishing a procedure or hierarchy for the conducting of a Planning
Commission Meetings in the absence of both the Chair and Vice Chair at a meeting.

REGULAR MEETING MINUTES JUNE 28, 1994
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof the Regular Meeting of the Planning Commission was
duly held on Tuesday, June 18, 1994 at 5:15 p.m. Chairperson McDermott called the meeting
to order with members DeBettignies, Ingram, and Droste present. Also in attendance was
Council Member Cathy Busho, Parks and Recreation Director Jim Topitzhofer, Assistant
Planner Rick Pearson, and Community Development Director Ron Wasmund.
MOTION by DeBettignies to approve the June 14, 1994 Regular Planning Commission Meeting
Minutes as presented. Second by Droste. Ayes: DeBettignies, McDermott, Ingram, Droste.
Nays: 0.
Commissioner Tentinger arrived and took his seat on the dais at 5:18 p.m.
Assistant Planner Pearson advised that the CMC proposed residential planned unit development
and preliminary plat was approved by City Council, with modifications, including the removal
of blanket structure setback variances and elimination of the east -west through street. Public
Hearings were scheduled for July 5, 1994 for Zoning Ordinance Text Amendments regarding
cemeteries and intermittent lighting for signs and for the Kwik Trip commercial PUD,
III
preliminary plat, and rezoning.
At their June 21, 1994 meeting City Council tabled action on the final plat for Lot 1, Block 2,
Rosemount Business Park. On June 14, 1994 the Planning Commission approved a site plan for
Lemna Corporation and recommended approval of the fmal plat that would accommodate the
Lemna Corporation proposal. Since that action was taken Lemna withdrew their proposal for
development in the Rosemount Business Park. Recent discussions by both the City Council and
Port Authority have resulted in their direction to staff to proceed with the final plat and
rezoning for the subject lot as a means of streamlining the process for future development
requests. Staff is recommending that one large 15 -acre lot, extending from CSAH 42 to the
southerly property line between the entry road and ponding area, be platted and rezoned to BP -2
Business Park. This will enable a developer to acquire building permits by means of site plan
approval. Should a proposed development use require less than the 15 acres, a replat could be
pursued during or after construction as desired by the developer or the City.
MOTION by Tentinger to recommend to City Council approval of the "large lot" final plat and
rezoning to BP -2 Business Park for Lot 1, Block 2, Rosemount Business Park. Second by
Droste. Ayes: Tentinger, McDermott, Ingram, Droste, DeBettignies. Nays: 0.
Assistant Planner Rick Pearson introduced members of the Erickson Community Square
Subcommittee, Parks and Recreation Committee Members, and Jim Topitzhofer, Director of

of a concept plan for proposed improvements to Erickson Park situated contiguous to and
north/northwest of City Hall. The project will consist of approximately three phases with the
focus of the first phase on a 3,350 square foot park pavilion and two roofed patio sections
connecting to paved exterior patio areas. The first phase also includes an amphitheater with
room for up to 400 spectators. Discussion included proposed landscaping, availability of
utilities, building details, grading, vehicular and pedestrian access, and parking layout.
MOTION by Droste to recommend to City Council approval of the Erickson Community
Square Concept Plan as presented. Second by Ingram. Ayes: McDermott, Ingram, Droste,
DeBettignies, Tentinger. Nays: 0.
Dr. Kurt Walter -Hansen is working with the City of Rosemount Port Authority for development
of the former Repairs, Inc. site, 14440 South Robert Trail. Dr. Hansen is requesting approval
of a site plan for the construction of an 8,320 square foot building for use as an animal clinic on
this site. The Port Authority owns the property and intends to give it to Dr. Hansen provided
he constructs an appropriate building. Because of the desired size of the proposed building the
site cannot accommodate minimum required parking. As a result, the Port Authority has
requested that the developer provide for the installation of additional parking on City -owned
land adjacent to the site. These parking stalls will in turn be available for use by the public for
City and Erickson Park events.
Further discussion included access, parking design, building design and location, aesthetics,
landscaping, and site grading. The Port Authority has identified a preferred building location
which differs from the developer's choice.
Commissioner Droste stated his preference for placement of the structure consistent with the
majority of the buildings in the CBD (Central Business District) to provide for continuity of
building setbacks along South Robert Trail. Mr. Droste then excused himself from his chair at
6:35 p.m.
Discussion continued.
MOTION by Ingram to approve the site plan for the Rosemount Professional Building proposed
to be located at 14440 South Robert Trail subject to: 1) revision of the landscape plan to
include a minimum of seven trees and thirty -one shrubs or equivalent; 2) conformance with
applicable building and fire codes; 3) placement of the building consistent with City of
Rosemount Port Authority direction for location of the building setback in relation to South
Robert Trail; and 4) city engineer approval of a grading plan. Second by Tentinger. Ayes:
Ingram, DeBettignies, Tentinger, McDermott. Nays: 0.
Mr. Bob Solberg, Solberg Aggregate Co., Inc., has submitted a request for approval of a 1994
Mineral Extraction permit to mine approximately 20,000 cubic yards of granular material from
their ten -acre site located on the northeast corner of CSAH 42 and STH 52. The property is in
the IG General Industrial District and mineral extraction is a permitted use, with a permit and
after a public hearing is conducted by City Council.
Mr. Loren Howard, representative for Solberg Aggregate Co., Inc., was present in the audience
and answered questions from the Commission. The material mined is intended for the 145th

Nays: 0.
Community Development Director Ron Wasmund advised the Commission that as a result of
the reorganization of the City staff a significant change affecting the Planning Commission is
the formation of a new Community Development Department. This department includes
Planning, Building, and Economic Development. It is anticipated that the reorganization will
provide for a "one -stop shop" concept with hopes in providing for more consistency and
informed decisions on development issues. The department is headed by Mr. Wasmund as the
Community Development Director and new positions are currently being pursued for a Planner
and a Code Enforcement Officer. Further expansion of the department is planned but is not
foreseen within the near future.

accessory structures in large lot rural residential settings. As a result of that study and staff
review, Planning staff has determined that a zoning ordinance text amendment would be an
appropriate procedure to allow for increased maximum area standards, based upon specific
criteria, for accessory structures in Rural Residential Districts
Lengthy discussion ensued with Commissioners reviewing the existing and proposed ordinance.
The commission expressed concern that the current ordinance is ambiguous in its reference to
required windows on accessory structures.
MOTION by Ingram to table action on the proposed zoning ordinance text amendment

REGULAR MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 9, 1994
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof the Regular Meeting of the Planning Commission was duly
held on Tuesday, August 9, 1994 at 5:15 p.m. Chairperson McDermott called the meeting to order
with members Ingram and Droste present. Also in attendance was Community Development
Director Ron Wasmund and Assistant Planner Rick Pearson.
At the request of Planner Pearson the August 9, 1994 Planning Commission Meeting Agenda was
amended to include item 8(a) State Primary Election/Planning Commission Meeting Conflicts.
MOTION by Droste to approve the July 26, 1994 Regular Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
as presented. Second by Ingram. Ayes: McDermott, Ingram, Droste. Nays: 0.
Assistant Planner Pearson discussed the most recent actions regarding the CMC Heartland Partners
development proposal. At the public hearing held by Council on August 9, 1994 Grief Bros.
representatives formally registered their opposition to development of single family homes on the
CMC site which is contiguous to their property. They stated that the industrial and residential uses
are in conflict and the potential for complaints from future residents regarding the industrial uses and
associated noise. Further, CMC has been unable to secure an agreement for the relocation of the
Soo Line Road spur. This project is on hold until these issues can be resolved.
Commissioner Tentinger took is seat on the dais at 5:18 p.m. Mr. Tentinger reiterated his earlier
concern for the proposed residential use of the CMC Heartland property.
Assistant Planner Rick Pearson discussed the previously discussed zoning ordinance text amendment
for increasing the permitted size of accessory structures in the Rural Residential and Agriculture
Districts west of Akron Avenue. The Planning Commission expressed concern over the ambiguity of
existing language for the requirement of windows on accessory structures. City Attorney Charlie
LeFevere has recommended against changing the ordinance as it applies to window requirements
based on several considerations.
MOTION by Tentinger to recommend to City Council that they schedule a public hearing for
September 6, 1994 to hear testimony regarding a Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment regarding
accessory structures. Second by Droste. Ayes: Ingram, Droste, Tentinger, McDermott. Nays: 0.
MOTION by Tentinger to recommend to City Council a Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment
allowing an increase in the maximum area standard for accessory structures in the Rural Residential
and Agriculture Districts based upon the following criteria: 1) accessory buildings over 150 square
feet in size shall have a minimum 3:12 roof pitch; 2) roofs shall be shingled with asphalt, wood, or
tile to match the home; 3) adequate number of windows shall be provided to break up the solid

Assistant Planner Pearson introduced Jack Gassner, International Development II, and Alan
Kretman, landscape architect and planner for RLK Associates, LTD., who were in attendance to
request concept review and approval for a 30 -lot single family residential subdivision proposed to be
located between 145th Street West and the Country Hills subdivision and west of Shannon Parkway.
The approximate 13 acres will require a rezoning from Agriculture to R -1 Single Family Residential.
This is consistent with the Comprehensive Guide Plan's land use designation as urban residential for
this property.
As this is in reality an infill project, several site constraints have been identified by the developer and
staff for optimum development. The Commission discussed at length the several variances that will
be necessary in approving this plat, most of which tend to be minor. Community Development staff
have made recommendations to the developer and each has been considered with some concessions
by both parties. Generally, staff believes that the concept plat represents an efficient street and lot
design for "infill" parcels that are dictated by intersection location requirements and topography.
Several suggestions were offered for minor adjustments to lot lines and a shortening of the northerly
cul -de -sac that could mitigate or even eliminate some variances.
MOTION by McDermott to recommend approval of the Shannon Meadows Concept Residential
Planned Unit Development and approval of the Shannon Meadows Preliminary Plat subject to the
following modifications: 1) the granting of double frontage lot variances by the Planning
Commission; 2) combination of Lots 9 and 10, Block 2 to eliminate lot width deficiencies; 3)
shortening of the cul -de -sac in Block 2 and further realignment of lot lines for Lots 8 and 9, Block 2
to eliminate lot width and depth variances; and 4) Park and Recreation Committee affirming the Park
Dedication in the form of cash contribution and the installation of a sidewalk along the south side of
the proposed 143rd Street West. Second by Tentinger. Ayes: Tentinger, McDermott, Ingram,
Droste. Nays: 0.
Chairperson McDermott recessed the Regular Planning Commission Meeting at 6:10 p.m. and
opened the Board of Appeals and Adjustments to hear public testimony for a Public Hearing
scheduled for this time. The recording secretary had in her possession affidavits of Publication, and
Posted and Mailed Hearing Notice.
Mr. John Kosmas, Architect for Valvoline/Rapid Oil Change, has requested two variances for a site
peripheral to the Rosemount Market Square Shopping Center. The variances requested are a five
foot side yard setback (interior) for an accessory structure, a dumpster enclosure, and a five -foot side
yard setback for a driveway. The standard for both is ten feet.
Planning staff and the petitioner provided an overview of the project including discussion of
ingress /egress, parking, architectural and aesthetic treatment, landscaping plan, and signage plan.
Discussion ensued with Mr. Kosmas answering several questions addressed to him by the Board.
Regular Planning Commission Meeting

There were no further comments from the audience.
Chairperson McDermott closed the public hearing. Planning staff has determined that the proposed
building design combined with visibility issues surrounding the double fronted lot are significant
enough to warrant support of the variances.
MOTION by Droste to grant the five -foot side yard variance for an accessory structure and a five
foot variance for a driveway for Lot 2, Block 1, Rosemount Market Square because it meets the
ordinance findings necessary for granting of a variance as stated in Section 15.2 (G) of the City of
Rosemount Zoning Ordinance. Second by Tentinger. Ayes: McDermott, Ingram, Droste,
Tentinger. Nays: 0.
Chairperson McDermott closed the Board of Appeals and Adjustments and reconvened the August

to be located on Lot 2, Block 1, Rosemount Market Square subject to: 1) approval of the grading
and utilities by the city engineer; 2) granting of two variances for accessory structure and driveway
side yard setbacks; and 3) conformance with applicable building and fire codes. Second by Ingram.
Ayes: Ingram, Droste, Tentinger, McDermott. Nays: 0.
111 Mr. Charles Stauffer, 3190 Lower 147th Street West, has submitted an application for a common lot
boundary relocation. Mr. Stauffer and his neighbor, 3170 Lower 147th Street West, have agreed to
Mr. Stauffer's acquisition of ten feet of the abutting property. No new lots will be created, however,
the proposed lot line realignment will provide Mr. Stauffer with improved access into his rear yard
around his detached garage. Both lots are 150 feet deep and the relocation will not create any
nonconforming issues. The remnant lot to the east will still be 100 feet wide with no hardship
created as a result.
MOTION by Ingram to recommend to the City Council approval of the common boundary lot line
relocation as requested for Mr. Charles Stauffer subject to the recombination of the ten -foot by 150
foot parcel with his lot. Second by Droste. Ayes: Droste, Tentinger, McDermott, Ingram. Nays: 0.
Assistant Planner Rick Pearson announced that a conflict has been identified for the Regular Planning
Commission Meetings scheduled for September 13, 1994 and November 8, 1994. The Primary
Elections will be held on September 13th and the State General Elections will be held on November
8th. State statute prohibits public meetings from being held between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 8:00

MOTION by McDermott to cancel the September 13, 1994 Regular Planning Commission Meeting
due to that being the Primary Election date. Second by Tentinger. Ayes: Tentinger, McDermott,
Ingram, Droste. Nays: 0.

Assistant Planner Rick Pearson briefly updated the Commission on the Metropolitan Council
Regional Blueprint revisions that had been included in the Commission packets. Mr. Pearson
requested any questions or comments regarding this document be directed to him and he will pass
their interests along to Met Council.
Community Development Director Ron Wasmund provided a brief overview of the current status of
the Rosemount Waste Water Treatment Plant and the projected plans for the possibility for
construction of a regional treatment plant in Cottage Grove. If this were to become a reality there
may be a re- evaluation in the distribution of hook -up availability which may preclude local
Rosemount Treatment Plant expansion.
Community Development Director Wasmund further discussed the status of the efforts of the City of
Farmington in annexing portions of Empire Township. He noted that as of this date Rosemount has
not been invited by Empire Township to become involved with the City of Farmington in the
annexation process.

Assistant Planner Pearson briefly discussed the outcome of the one -year study regarding a parking
ban on South Robert Trail (STH 3) in the downtown Rosemount area. The City Council upheld the
parking restrictions based on the study which included an evaluation of existing parking and an
accident profile for the 145th Street /South Robert Trail intersection.
Assistant Planner Pearson advised that the Port Authority, in cooperation with the Dakota County
HRA, has scheduled a tour of two Dakota County HRA senior housing sites. One in Hastings and
one in West St. Paul. The Planning Commission has been invited to participate in the tour which will
be held on Wednesday, September 7th at 5:15 p.m. Property owners along Cameo Avenue and
abutting streets are also being invited to provide them with an opportunity to view an existing
highrise structure in a neighborhood setting similar to the one that is being proposed by the Dakota
County HRA for the old Baptist Church site on Cameo Avenue.
After discussion of whether to hold the regularly scheduled Planning Commission on November 8,
1994 the Commissioners agreed to conduct the meeting as planned. However, agenda items for this

Multiple Family Residential to BP -2 Business Park. The 8.3 -acre lot is located next to the GTI movie
theater and has a land use designation of business park in the Rosemount Comprehensive Guide Plan. The

has the longest list of permitted uses with standards similar to those of the General Commercial
District. Further discussion consisted of the merits of redesignating this property to BP -3 with a more

Commissioner DeBettignies took his chair on the dais at 5:25 p.m.
Assistant Planner Rick Pearson stated that the Planning Department has received several informal
requests for rural residential uses in Agriculture District. In discussing these proposals, issues were
identified that caused the Community Development Department staff to recommend that a
moratorium may be one course of action that will allow the City to make adjustments and
modifications to the zoning ordinance regarding these subdivision requests. Various components that
need to be addressed are: 1) establishment of setbacks from wetlands; 2) minimum lot sizes; 3)
storm water issues; 4) septic system maintenance ordinance; storm water management ordinance;
and other performance standards. A moratorium on lot divisions for residential uses in Rural
Residential and Agriculture Districts will provide an opportunity for the City to formally review and
make recommendations on these elements.
MOTION by DeBettignies to recommend to City Council that a moratorium be established to enable
a study to be conducted and the establishment of minimum standards for subdivision requests in the
Rural Residential and Agriculture Districts and that said moratorium not exceed twelve months; and,
further, that a draft of the moratorium language be resubmitted to the Planning Commission for
review; and, further, that the proposed text amendment that provides for minimum performance
standards be returned to the Planning Commission for formal review and recommendation. Second

The Planning Commission welcomed Mr. McKnight and Mr. Litterer to the City of Rosemount and
extended their best wishes for a rewarding and satisfying employment with the City.
Assistant Planner Pearson provided a follow -up to the Planning Commission's previous September
27th discussion regarding lowering allowable density in the R -3 Multiple Family Residential District,
City Attorney Charlie LeFevere was consulted and he supports the Planning Commission's
recommendation to lower the maximum density in the R -3 District from eighteen (18) dwelling units
per acre to twelve (12) dwelling units per acre at this time. However, he has suggested that further
investigation into the density bonus component is needed and be addressed as an amendment to the
zoning ordinance at a later date. Discussion was led by Assistant Planner Pearson who reviewed the
benefits and disadvantages of each of the specific criteria currently proposed by staff. Staff will
continue to work on the standards for increasing density and resubmit to the Planning Commission
for review and formal recommendation to the City Council.
Chairperson McDermott stepped down from the dais at this time due to a potential for conflict of
interest regarding action on the proposed Betty Jo Schmitt plat and turned the meeting over to Vice
Chairperson Droste.

(Administrative Plat) application from Ms. Betty Jo and Mr. Steve Schmitt to combine three 55 -foot
wide vacant lots for the purpose of constructing a dance studio. The subject property, currently
owned by the Rosemount Port Authority, is located on the west side of Burma Avenue just north of
147th Street West. The three lots are zoned C -2 Community Commercial and the proposed use is
permitted in this district. The proposed site design for the dance studio shows existing lot lines would
be traversed by the parking lot and structure which initiates the replatting process.
Discussion of site plan details for the dance studio included: 1) review of aesthetic treatment of the
structure; 2) landscaping plan; 3) parking lot design; 4) drainage; 5) site lighting and 6) access
on -site vehicular maneuverability. Mr. Lambert, architect for the Schmitts, discussed the reasons for
situating the structure on the site as proposed is in response to the Port Authority's concerns regarding
potential development of the entire block. The proposed final site design addresses the Port
Authority's concerns and is considered the best solution for providing more development
opportunities for larger scale development in the future.

REGULAR MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 25, 1994
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof the Regular Meeting of the Planning Commission was duly
held on Tuesday, October 25, 1994 at 5:15 p.m. Vice Chairperson Droste called the meeting to
order with members DeBettignies, Tentinger, and Ingram present. Also in attendance was
Community Development Director Ron Wasmund, Assistant Planner Rick Pearson, and Assistant
City Engineer Doug Litterer.

Assistant. Planner Rick Pearson provided a brief overview of the tour of the Greif Bros. facility that
City personnel, the Planning Commission, and other City Officials had taken on Tuesday, October
1 lth. Greif Bros. Corp. has reaffirmed their position that the CMC Heartland proposal for residential
use of property contiguous to the Greif Bros. operation is an inappropriate use of the property. At this
time, the City has not been apprised of any meetings between the two property owners for discussion
of the proposed use and issues of incompatibility of the two uses.
Planning staff have been directed to prepare an ordinance text amendment that will create setbacks
for dog kennels and dog runs. The current ordinance addresses separation criteria for farm animals in
buildings, pens, or feed lots from neighboring residential structures. However, consideration of
standards for residential dog kennels are not addressed. Planning staff will continue to review other
cities and their treatment of residential dog kennels and provide a draft ordinance to create a
definition for kennel and dog run enclosures and set up criteria for standards and enforcement of such
situations that will not preclude a homeowner's right to erect fences. Staff will bring this back to the
Planning Commission at the next regular meeting for fonnal review and recommendation.
Mr. James Ertl has submitted an application for subdivision of his 7.85 -acre parcel into two lots. The
property is situated on the west side of Bacardi Avenue and is zoned Agriculture. The proposed
configuration of the subdivision consists of one 2.5 -acre lot with 300 feet of frontage on Bacardi
Avenue. This 2.5 -acre lot would be vacant and available for marketing as a homestead. The
remaining 5.35 -acre parcel accommodates the Ertls' existing residence.
The 2.5 -acre parcel meets minimum lot standards for residential uses in the Agriculture District.
However, Planning staff has concerns regarding an existing ponding area on the vacant parcel which
encompasses one -third of the total lot area. Issues to be addressed include: 1) location of the 100
year flood line and the required structure setbacks for that flood line; 2) existence of a pond outlet
(confirmation of whether or not a culvert is in- place); and 3) submittal of percolation test data to
determine whether this parcel can accommodate an on -site septic system, including an alternate septic
system location and a well. Once these issues have been addressed it can than be determined whether
there is a site adequate for construction of a residence.

SOAR typically represents Rosemount residents at airport public meetings; however, he encouraged
the Commission and any interested resident to attend the meeting.

Pursuant to due call and notice thereof the Regular Meeting of the Planning Commission was duly
held on Tuesday, November 8, 1994 at 5:15 p.m. Chairperson McDermott called the meeting to
order with members DeBettignies, Tentinger, Ingram, and Droste present. Also in attendance was
Community Development Director Ron Wasmund, Senior Planner Andrew Mack, Assistant Planner
Rick Pearson, and Civil Engineer Doug Litterer.

A recent newspaper article stated that USPCI, Inc. is marketing their facility by filing a "Letter of
Intent to Sell The City's legal counsel is currently investigating this report to determine its
accuracy. Staff and legal counsel are also researching the original conditions of the Interim Use
Permit (IUP) issued to and agreed upon by USPCI, Inc. in development of their nonhazardous waste
containment facility. Planning staff will keep the Commission apprised of the details as they become
available.
Community Development Director Ron Wasmund introduced Andrew Mack who was recently hired
by the City as its Senior Planner. Mr. Mack's undergraduate studies were completed at St. Cloud,
MN and he obtained a masters degree at the University of Texas, Arlington, Texas. Mr. Mack will
direct the Planning Division of the Community Development Department. In addition to his
planning duties, Senior Planner Mack will also serve as staff facilitator for the downtown planning
effort and principal contact for comments and information regarding the downtown development
process. Mr. Mack expressed his pleasure in becoming a part of the Rosemount community and
invited the Commissioners to share any comments or concerns with him, welcoming the opportunity
to meet with each individually. The Planning Commission welcomed Mr. Mack to the City of
Rosemount and extended their hope for a rewarding and satisfying employment with the City.
Assistant. Planner Rick Pearson reviewed a draft zoning ordinance text amendment proposed by
Planning staff regarding the establishment of standards for domestic animal enclosures. The Planning
Commission expressed a desire to minimize confusion in the treatment of dog kennels and dog runs
and concurred with staff recommendation to treat pens and enclosures for containment of domestic
animals the same as for accessory structures. The Commission also agreed that a modification to the
proposed verbiage by adding "yard setback standards" to further clarify the proposed amendment.

The Comprehensive Guide Plan Implementation Plan includes several ordinance revisions. One of
those ordinance amendments refers to the creation of a Planned Residential District (PD -R). The
intent of the PD -R District is to preserve unique natural features of property as it is developed by
attempting to conserve and balance rural qualities with urban development. Features characterized as
unique may include wetlands, ponds, significant stands of trees, and rolling hills, among others.
One area that would be directly affected by the creation of the PD -R District that fits the description
as having unique natural features encompasses approximately 540 acres. This property is situated
north of the Country Hills Additions, south of Shannon Oaks Addition, and along either side of
Shannon Parkway (Kelly Truste) and is guided as PD -R Land Use Designation in the Comprehensive
Guide Plan. Planner Pearson noted that approximately half of this property is within the
Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). Current zoning of this property is divided between R -1
Single Family Residential (permitted 3 units per acre) and AG Agriculture (permitted one unit per 10 acres).
With the new PD -R District achievement of a maximum of number of units per acre would be directly
related to the property's natural features.
Assistant Planner Pearson advised that the PD -R District creates the ability to transfer density,
thereby providing a mechanism for development at an urban level density that could be feasibly
served by municipal sewer and water and yet preserve natural land amenities. Planning staff
requested comment from the Commission as to whether the concept for overall development with
greater densities in open areas (up to five or six dwelling units per acre) and lesser densities in wooded and
sloping as a means for natural feature preservation is a philosophy they would support.
The Planning Commission directed Planning staff to continue to develop standards for a Planned
Residential District for inclusion in the zoning ordinance. However, the Commission advised staff to
research and study further whether or not to include wetlands in calculating densities. The
Commission further directed additional evaluation of storm water issues already existing on the Kelly
Trust property and the need for more attached housing within the City. Staff advised that storm
water concerns may directly affect density recommendations for this property and these issues could
be addressed when a request for rezoning is submitted to the City. However, a text amendment at
this time that creates the PD -R District could provide a valuable mechanism for development of other
similar properties within the City.
MOTION by DeBettignies to adjourn. Second by Droste. There being no further business to come
before this Commission and upon unanimous decision this meeting was adjourned at 6 :00 p.m.

ADVENTURE ZONE INTERIM USE PERMIT (IUP) UPDATE
Planning staff have inspected the Adventure Zone site for compliance with their 1994 IUP and
found several items that have not been addressed. Legal counsel has been contacted for an opinion
as to appropriate procedures for staff's initiating a termination of the IUP for the Adventure Zone.
Staff will compile the findings and present the Commission with a recommendation at the next
regular meeting.
Commissioner Ingram took her chair on the dais at 5:20 p.m.
REX'S RICH VALLEY ESTATES: FINAL PLAT RECOMMENDATION
Marlin and JoAnn Rechtzigel have submitted an application for final plat approval of a five -lot
agricultural subdivision located approximately 3,000 feet east of STH 52 on the south side of CR
42. The plat consists of five approximate 2.5 -acre lots with a sixth lot comprising of 47.5 acres
which is representative of the remainder of the property. The Dakota County Plat Commission has
reviewed and approved the plat with access to CR 42 as proposed. The proposed Rex's Rich Valley
Estates subdivision meets minimum ordinance standards for the Agriculture District and is
consistent with the preliminary plat (approved by City Council on November 15, 1994) with minor
modifications as recommended by the Planning Commission and City Council.
Commissioner Tentinger arrived and took his chair on the dais at 5:26 p.m.
MOTION by Droste to approve the final plat for Rex's Rich Valley Estates subject to: 1) extension
of the street right -of -way to the southerly boundary of proposed Lot 3, Block 1, and Lot 2, Block 2;
2) a restrictive covenant recorded against the remnant 47.5 -acre lot restricting future subdivision
under present zoning; 3) execution of a development agreement to secure public improvements
and park dedication; and 4) platting the remnant 47.5 -acre parcel as an outlot. Second by
McDennott. Ayes: McDermott, Ingram, Droste, DeBettignies. Nays: 0. Abstain: Tentinger (due
to his absence during discussion of this project). Motion Passes.
SHANNON MEADOWS ADDITION: REVISED RESIDENTIAL CONCEPT PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
Assistant. Planner Rick Pearson introduced Mr. Alan Kretman, consultant, and Mr. Jack Gassner,
International Development II, who were present in the audience to provide information and discuss
a new concept for residential development of the Burkhalter /Strese property. This project would
consist of 43 single family lots with one side wall built along a lot line with no side yard.

The "zero lot line" structures would be constructed on privately owned lots of a variety of housing
types with a common theme (similar materials and colors). Open space would be maintained by an
association as would building exteriors. Density of this proposed development is 3.35 dwelling
units per acre. The current zoning ordinance does not provide minimum standards for this type of
development. Planning staff recommends that this density concept would be most closely related
to the R -1 Single Family Residential District and suggests that a review of the proposal be achieved
under planned unit development procedures with appropriate "findings" being made for the several
variances that this type of development would embody.
Discussion of this concept development plan with regard to findings necessary for approving a
planned unit development included: 1) lack of sufficient useable open space with no evidence of
preservation of natural features; 2) no proposed property enhancements; 3) consistency versus
inconsistency with surrounding neighborhood development; 4) compliance with the intent of the
Comprehensive Guide Plan; and 5) whether improved living and working environment is achieved
than would be possible under strict ordinance requirements. Mr. Gassner advised that should this
proposal be denied, his corporation would withdraw their plat application and suspend
development on this property at this time.
The Commission concurred that while this housing type may be marketable as suggested by the
developer, their concern was whether approving increased density for this property would set a
precedent for requests for development of contiguous properties also requesting increased density.
Concern was also expressed by the Commission that this proposal increases density with no
increase in open space or any other amenities.
Planning staff is recommending a public informational hearing be held with the Planning
Commission. This will provide the applicant an opportunity to enhance their presentation
marketing their proposal to convince and demonstrate to the Commission and the public the
uniqueness of this property establishing justification for increasing density.
ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT: PD -R PLANNED RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT
Senior Planner Andrew Mack advised that Planning staff have drafted language for a Zoning
Ordinance Text Amendment that will provide for a PD -R Planned Residential Zoning District and
have presented this amendment for further discussion from the Commission. Planner Mack
recommended that discussion be focused specifically upon the amendment as opposed to its
relationship to individual properties.
Planner Mack advised that the current ordinance provides for the RL Low Density Single Family
Residential Zoning District with a minimum lot area of 20,000 square feet. However, this zoning
designation is not presently assigned to any properties within the City. Mr. Mack asked the
Commission to discuss whether a 20,000 square foot minimum lot size achieve the goal of the City
and whether a new district should create a mechanism with a flexible technique for dispersement
of density and to provide greater opportunity to preserve natural amenities. He also stated that
Planning staff is in the process of discussing other possible refinements to the proposed regulations
and would appreciate the input of the Planning Commission before proceeding further. Assistant
Planner Pearson stated that the overall concept for this district is to maintain a maximum density
of two dwelling units per acre.
Commissioners expressed their apprehension in a "blanket" zoning approach with no designation as
to where properties lend themselves more readily to higher density development. Suggestions from
the Commission included: 1) a formula providing for maximum overall percentage of high density
Regular Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
November 22, 1994
Page Three
development of land, excluding easements, ponding, wetlands, natural amenities, etc.; 2) dropping
the maximum density from six to five dwelling units per acre; and 3) if the property exhibits natural
features that bear consideration for preservation, then a criteria could be established for earning
increased density through the provision of things like enhanced building materials and site
amenities, etc., thus providing a unique quality of development. Planning staff was directed to
continue to develop revisions to standards for the proposed amendment and bring it back to the
Commission for further review.
MOTION by McDermott to adjourn. Second by Droste. There being no further business to come

ADVENTURE ZONE INTERIM USE PERMIT (IUP) TERMINATION
On April 19, 1994 the City Council granted Interim Use Permits to two paintball commercial
recreation uses, with conditions. The Adventure Zone has failed to comply with the conditions of the
IUP. Assistant Planner Pearson reviewed the chronology of events that have occurred in the City's
efforts to work with The Adventure Zone personnel in an attempt to bring them into compliance with
their IUP with the first attempts by staff being made in August 1994. As of this date there as been no
action or response on the part of the owners even to minor issues. Charlie LeFevere, legal counsel for
the City, has reviewed all the information pertinent to this permit and has recommended that City staff
initiate a revocation process. The IUP section of the Zoning Ordinance refers to termination of the
IUP upon violation of the conditions under which the permit was issued.
Planning staff has heard from the owners of The Adventure Zone who have indicated that they were
not property informed of the proposal for termination of their permit and has asked that the Planning
Commission continue review of this issue at a future meeting to allow the owners the opportunity to
defend their position. Planning staff feels that "due process' has been served to the owners and they
have had ample opportunity to comply or respond to staffs revocation proposal. It was noted that the
owners will be provided the opportunity to respond to the proposal at a public hearing required to be
held by City Council.

1994 TAX INCREMENT (TIF) PLAN: CARLSON PROPERTY REDEVELOPMENT
Senior Planner Andrew Mack discussed the Rosemount Port Authority's authorization to prepare a Tax
Increment Finance (TIF) Plan for the Carlson Tractor property located at the southwest corner of STH 3
and CR 42. Funds would be used to facilitate relocation and redevelopment of the Carlson Tractor
business and property. Minnesota State Statutes charges the Planning Commission to provide
recommendation to City council, by resolution, findings that the proposed new TIF District and the
anticipated land uses are consistent with the City's Comprehensive Guide Plan.
The draft TIF Plan for the Carlson project identifies a hotel, restaurant, fast food restaurant,
automotive /service center, and day care as anticipated land uses in the new district. This site is
designated as Commercial in the Land Use Element of the City's Comprehensive Guide Plan. Current
zoning of the property is C -4 General Commercial. Therefore, the present zoning of the property and
anticipated commercial land use is consistent with the City of Rosemount Comprehensive Guide Plan.
The proposed uses identified are all permitted in the C -4 District and are, therefore, found to be in
conformance with the Rosemount Comprehensive Guide Plan.
Approval of a resolution by the Planning Commission does not provide approval for any specific
projects that are being considered within the district. Any specific development /use proposal will
require intensive evaluation and analysis for ordinance compliance prior to recommendation and
approval by the Planning Commission upon application for site plan review. Approval of the resolution
by the Planning Commission is recommended so as to continue facilitating the creation of a TIF Plan
for the redevelopment of this property.
A brief discussion ensued amongst the Commission and Planning staff as to the justification for TIF at
this site; and the possible land use impacts of a grade separated crossing at CR 42 and the railroad.
