Public Hearing: Solberg Aggregate Company, Inc. Mineral
Extraction Permit Renewal
Chairperson Droste opened the public hearing on the application by Solberg Aggregate
Company, Inc. for renewal of a Mineral Extraction Permit for 2001. The recording
secretary has placed the Affidavit of Publication and Affidavit of Mailing and Posting of
a Public Hearing Notice on file with the City.
Mayor Busho explained that a mining moratorium is currently in place. The renewal of
Solberg's mineral extraction permit is not affected by the moratorium; however, changes
in the grading plan will be addressed by the City Council.
Mr. Pearson summarized the application by Solberg Aggregate and reviewed the
proposed changes to the grading plan. 47,301 tons of materials were removed in 2000.
There were no complaints reported to the police.
Chairperson Droste opened the floor to the applicant. Lauren Howard was present to
answer questions. Mr. Howard explained that the proposal to increase the amount of
materials extracted would not extend the life of the pit. The mining activity will be
completed in 2003.
Chairperson Droste opened the public hearing. There were no comments.
MOTION by Droste to close the public hearing. Seconded by Napper. Ayes: Shoe
Corrigan, Weisensel, Napper, and Droste. Nays: 0. Motion carried.
Discussions continued concerning management of the pit and further clarification of the

Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the Regular Meeting of the Planning Commission
was duly held on Tuesday, January 23, 2001. Chairperson Bill Droste called the meeting
to order at 6:30 p.m. with members Myron Napper and Kim Shoe Corrigan present.
Commissioner Jeffery Weisensel arrived at 6:38 p.m. Also in attendance were City
Planner Rick Pearson, Code Enforcement Official Sheila O'Bryan, and Councilmember
Sheila Klassen.
There were no additions or corrections to the agenda.
MOTION by Droste to approve the January 9, 2001 Regular Planning Commission
Meeting Minutes. Seconded by Napper. Ayes: Napper, Droste, and Shoe Corrigan.
Nays: 0. Motion carried.
New Business: Ordinance B Amendments
Ms. O'Bryan presented for discussion proposed changes to the Zoning Ordinance. The
changes pertain to recreational vehicles, outdoor storage, woodpiles, parking setbacks,
and driveways.
Commissioners recommended adding a time limit on parking for recreational vehicles
and limiting the number of recreational vehicles stored outside. Storage of construction
materials should be tied into the building permit, requiring removal of the materials
within 30 days after completion of a project.
Mr. Pearson explained it is necessary for safety reasons to amend the ordinance to require
driveway turnarounds for those homes having driveways on a collector street.
The Ordinance amendments will be considered further at a public hearing on February
13.
Public Hearing: Centex Homes Concept PUD (Bloomfield)
Chairperson Droste opened the public hearing on the application by Centex Homes for
approval of a revised concept plan for portions of Bloomfield. The recording secretary
has placed the Affidavit of Publication and Affidavit of Mailing and Posting of a Public
Hearing Notice on file with the City.
Mr. Pearson provided background of the Bloomfield master plan and summarized the
aspects of the proposed concept plan. The concept area consists of 309 single family
detached units, 92 quad townhome units, and 24 twin home units. The 80 -foot standard
lot width is reduced to 70 feet. The proposal includes park dedication of a 43 -acre green
Planning Commission

space corridor as a trade off for the 70 -foot lots. However, the Parks Recreation
Committee is interested in enhancing dedicated parks elsewhere and is not interested in
the 43 acre corridor dedication. Unresolved issues concern the extension of Connemara
Trail and the railroad crossing. Circumstances may require a change in the street location
and grade separation for the crossing, which would affect the development plans in the
northeast portions of the development. Approvals are required from the Met Council,
Union Pacific Railroad, and Dakota County. The developer has purchased
approximately 5 acres of railroad right -of -way, which will provide additional buffer
along the northern edge.
Chairperson Droste opened the floor to the applicant. Steve Ach of Centex Homes
provided corporate background information and summarized the current status of the
development.
Dwight Jelle of Westwood reviewed the development design. He suggested further
discussions on the open space issue and indicated the developer would present
alternatives to the proposal. Mr. Jelle reviewed the sidewalk and trail system, buffering
and landscaping along CSAH 42 and the railroad, streetscape designs, and housing styles.
He indicated that an overgrade railroad crossing would necessitate the redesign of the
plan to capture lost single family lots.
Chairperson Droste opened the public hearing.
Craig Minea, co -owner of 155 acres north of the Centex development, expressed his
opposition to the grade- separated railroad crossing. Mr. Minea explained that a 23 -foot
high bridge that bisects the center of a residential development would reduce the
development's desirability. Townhouses and apartments would be the only viable
residential use in this area. While the direct costs for a grade separated crossing may be
considered less expensive, consideration must be given to the indirect costs of diminished
property values.
Chairperson Droste opened the floor to the Commissioners.
Commissioner Shoe Corrigan requested clarification on changes in the number of
housing units. Mr. Pearson explained the housing distribution and indicated the unit
numbers are up about 7 -10 The housing mix ration for the original PUD was 56%
single family and 42.8% attached, compared to the current proposal of 55.7% single
family and 44% attached.
Discussions continued concerning the amount of open space provided. Mr. Pearson
explained the park was reduced to 8 acres. Because the Parks Recreation Committee
sees limited potential in this area, it prefers the balance of the park dedication in cash to
create facilities elsewhere. Commissioner Weisensel confirmed that the trade -off for the
70' lots consists of 22 acres in open space.
Planning Commission

Commissioner Shoe Corrigan indicated an incentive must be present to support the 70-
foot lots and additional units and that she did not want to see a loss in open space. She
offered her support for this concept plan, but could not support an alternative concept
resulting from a change in the Connemara Trail alignment and the railroad crossing.
Mr. Jelle responded that the developer is willing to look at other concepts creating open
space. The proposed plan provides flexibility to allow for the bridge at the railroad
crossing.
Chairperson Droste observed that the concept proposal provided increased separation of
housing from the railroad compared to the approved PUD.
Commissioner Shoe Corrigan expressed her concern that private open space be
preserved.
Discussions continued concerning the affordability of the homes and the type of
homeowner Centex would be marketing to.
MOTION by Droste to close the public hearing. Seconded by Weisensel. Ayes:
Droste, Shoe Corrigan, Weisensel, and Napper. Nays: 0. Motion carried.
Commissioners discussed concerns that modifications to the concept plan to
accommodate a grade separated railroad crossing would not result in an increase in
overall density from the approved concept plan or a reduction in open space. Mr.
Pearson was directed to revise staff recommendations to address Commissioners'
concerns.
MOTION by Weisensel to table action on the concept plan for Centex Bloomfield to
February 13, 2001. Seconded by Shoe Corrigan. Ayes: Shoe Corrigan, Weisensel,
Napper, and Droste. Nays: 0. Motion carried.
There being no further business to come before this Commission, upon MOTION by
Droste and upon unanimous decision, the meeting was adjourned at 8:45 p.m.

Old Business: Centex Homes Concept PUD (Bloomfield)
On January 23, 2001, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing for the
II Centex proposal to amend the Bloomfield Planned Unit Development. Action on the
proposed amendment was tabled pending further information.
Mr. Pearson presented comparisons between the approved PUD for Bloomfield and the
revised concept plan. The concept plan was revised to accommodate the location for
Connemara Trail and to provide sufficient space if the railroad crossing becomes grade
separated. The housing mix was reviewed. The current proposal results in 18 less single
family homes, 1 less twinhome, and 2 additional quad buildings from Centex's original
proposal. Open space calculates at 18.37 acres of contiguous open space, excluding
ponds, wetlands, and railroad right -of -way. 70 foot lots (291) as compared to 80 foot
lots (272) result in an estimated 3% increase in private open space and 4% reduction in
building mass. Due to the lot depth, separation from the railroad tracks exceeds the
minimum setback of 110 feet. The nearest quad unit is 460' from the tracks, and the
single family homes range from 220' -225' from the tracks.
Dwight Jelle of Westwood summarized the proposal for open space and park amenities.
Mr. Jelle clarified that Centex would commit to no reduction in open space or in multi-
family units, however, necessary revisions to the plan could result in a reduction in single
family dwellings.
Commissioner Shoe Corrigan commented that preserving open space would maintain the
value of the homes.
Mr. Pearson further clarified the setbacks from the railroad tracks and the housing mix.
Planning Commission
Regular Meeting Minutes
February 13, 2001

Chairperson Droste pointed out negative conditions affecting this development, including
Hwy. 42, the railroad, and Koch Refinery. He found the new design more appealing
because of the additional open space. He offered his approval of the new design, finding
it to be superior to the approved PUD.
Dan Blake of Centex Homes clarified that future changes to the plan as a result of the
Connemara Trail location and railroad crossing will not reduce the number of attached
homes or the amount of open space. Single family homes, however, may be reduced.
MOTION by Droste to recommend that the City Council approve the concept for Centex
Bloomfield subject to: 1) Adopting findings in support of the PUD concept plan as
required in Section 12.6 of the zoning ordinance; 2) Incorporation of recommendation by
the City consulting Engineer relative to drainage, easements, grading, rights -of -way,
streets, utilities, and all other applicable public infrastructure; 3) Recommendations
relative to park facilities and dedication will be made separately by the Parks and
Recreation Committee; 4) The proportion of housing units to open space shall not change
in favor of additional housing units, and changes to the distribution of housing types will
only be changed if the proportion of single family increases. For clarification, there shall
be no reduction in open space and no increase in attached housing, although the number
of single family dwellings could be reduced; 5) Approvals or cooperation as needed by
Dakota County, Metropolitan Council and the Union Pacific Railroad. Seconded by
Weisensel. Ayes: Droste, Shoe Corrigan, Weisensel, and Napper. Nays: 0. Motion
carried.
Public Hearing: Ordinance B. Amendments
Chairperson Droste opened the public hearing on the proposed amendments to Ordinance
B -City of Rosemount Zoning Ordinance pertaining to outdoor storage, recreational
vehicle parking, surface parking, and driveway turnarounds. The recording secretary has
placed the Affidavit of Publication and Posting of a Public Hearing Notice on file with
the City.
Ms. O'Bryan presented an overview of the recommended changes pertaining to
recreational vehicle parking, outdoor storage of construction materials, woodpiles, and
setbacks for surface parking.
Commissioners inquired about specific situations concerning regulations for woodpiles,
recreational vehicle parking, and parking setbacks. A reduction in parking setbacks to 5
feet would legitimize existing conditions. Discussions also addressed what effect the
proposed changes may have on home occupations.
Mr. Pearson explained the proposed regulations for driveways on corner lots would shift
a driveway to the lesser- traveled street. For lots fronting a collector street, regulations
would require turnarounds, thereby avoiding the need to back onto a busy street.
Chairperson Droste opened the public hearing. There were no comments.

Public Hearing: Master Transmission Amendment to Concept
Commercial PUD
Chairperson Droste opened the public hearing on the application for an amendment to the
approved concept PUD for the Master Transmission site redevelopment. The recording
secretary has placed the Affidavit of Publication and Affidavit of Posting and Mailing of
a Public Hearing Notice on file with the City.
Councilmember Klassen referenced a condition of the approved concept PUD requiring
the coordination of the driveway with the South Robert Trail Streetscape Plan. The City
II Council is currently waiting for completion of those plans and the specifications for the
street design. Councilmember Klassen indicated the City Council would most likely
Planning Commission
Regular Meeting Minutes
March 13, 2001
Page 2
uphold staff's recommendation to deny the request by Master Transmission for an
amendment to the PUD.
Mr. Pearson reviewed the redevelopment plans for Master Transmission and the concept
PUD approved on August 15, 2000. Master Transmission has requested a change to the
PUD, which would reorient the driveway to the south side of the lot. This change
eliminates the shared driveway with Genz -Ryan and creates concern that the
development no longer blends in with the South Robert Trail improvement plan. The
building remains the same, however, the primary entrance shifts from the north to the
south. The proposed change also creates a setback encroachment along the northern
edge. Setback encroachments along the east side and along South Robert Trail were
previously approved. Greenspace has been reduced to 20 which is lower than the
required 25 There are 28 parking stalls provided, which exceeds the amount required.
The Interim City Engineer is concerned that there is insufficient distance between the
proposed driveway and Cambrian Avenue.
Chairperson Droste opened the floor to the applicant. Steve Jensen explained the
advantages to having the building facing south, including exposure to the sun, snow
removal, safety for customers entering the building, and ability to continue operating the
existing business while the new building is under construction. Moving the driveway to
the south results in more parking. Mr. Jensen spoke with MnDOT and was told the
proposed driveway falls within their standards. The previously approved landscaping has
been maintained. Additionally, the adjacent residential neighbors have indicated they do
not like the masonry wall.
Commissioners discussed options for parking and the driveway location. Commissioner
Napper indicated the driveway could be moved further north by eliminating some parking
spaces, thereby increasing greenspace on the south side. Commissioner Napper indicated
the current driveway is located on a curve, causing difficulty to exit the property and
creating a conflict with traffic from Quik Trip.
Chairperson Droste opened the public hearing.
John Freuler, Bloomington, MN, expressed his concern with the uncertainty if Genz
Ryan leaves and his preference for a separate driveway, leaving the Master Transmission
site more isolated.
MOTION by Droste to close the public hearing. Seconded by Shoe Corrigan. Ayes:
Droste, Shoe Corrigan, Weisensel, and Napper. Nays: 0. Motion carried.
Commissioner Shoe Corrigan agreed with Commissioner Napper's observation that
exiting the driveway at its current location is difficult due to sight lines. She offered
support for the separate driveway if parking spaces were eliminated to allow it to be
moved further north, along with increased greenspace and landscaping.
Planning Commission
Regular Meeting Minutes
March 13, 2001
Page 3
Chairperson Droste responded that sight lines may change dramatically with the changes
to South Robert Trail. He realized from past discussions the importance of lining up
driveways. The uncertainty with changes to South Robert Trail makes it difficult to
support any driveway proposals.
Mr. Pearson indicated he would have the city council ask the Interim City Engineer how
changes to South Robert Trail will affect sight lines. He will also request from
engineering the pros and cons for the driveway proposal, along with the impact of the
turning lane on the southern driveway location.
Commissioner Shoe Corrigan preferred that their decision be based on information from
an engineering expert. She suggested that consideration be given to reconfiguration of
the parking, which would allow the northern driveway to remain and which would
provide access to a southern entrance.
Commissioners further suggested that consideration be given to moving the building to
the west, away from South Robert Trail, allowing traffic to flow along the street side of
the building.
Chairperson Droste expressed his concern that, based upon the Planning Commission's
limited involvement with the streetscape and downtown plans, a decision to support a
change in the driveway location could create a conflict with those plans. He confirmed
that one reason for the change requested by Master Transmission is to reduce the
construction impact on its existing business.
Councilmember Klassen provided a timeline for the streetscape plans, indicating the City
Council will see the plans and specs in April, the plans will go to bids in July, and
construction is expected to commence in August.
MOTION by Droste to recommend that the City Council deny the amendment to the
Concept Commercial Planned Unit Development for Master Transmission. Seconded by
Weisensel. Ayes: Shoe Corrigan, Weisensel, Napper, and Droste. Nays: 0. Motion
carried.
There being no further business to come before this Commission, upon MOTION by
Droste and upon unanimous decision, the meeting was adjourned at 7:50 p.m.

The recording secretary has placed the Affidavit of Mailing and Posting of a Public
Hearing Notice and Affidavit of Publication on file with the City.
Mr. Pearson presented the application by St. Joseph for concept review concerning its
proposed development of a church and education center. St. Joseph intends to purchase
30 acres from the Nelson family on the east side of Biscayne Avenue, north of Biscayne
Pointe. The property is presently zoned R -1, Low Density Residential, and is guided for

Connemara Trail and Biscayne Avenue. Infrastructure improvements include the
extension of Connemara Trail and the Brockway Trunk Sewer.
Chairperson Droste opened the floor to the applicant. Gary Mitchell was present on
behalf of the Church of St. Joseph. Mr. Mitchell explained that site selection criteria
included the need for 25 -35 acres, closeness to downtown, sufficient access, and lay of
the land.
Commissioner Napper confirmed that the site plans would not affect the sewer
interceptor connection.
Chairperson Droste opened the public hearing.
Tom Von Bische, Heritage Development, indicated that Heritage plans to purchase the
adjacent Abbott property. Mr. Von Bische offered his support for the church, however,
noted concerns with the location of Birchwood Avenue and stormwater ponding.
MOTION by Droste to close the public hearing. Seconded by Weisensel. Ayes:

Commissioners reviewed the approval process for this development and engineering
review of the street location and ponding.
MOTION by Droste to recommend that the City Council approve the concept for St.
Joseph's Church and Education Center subject to: 1) Conformance with the requirements
of Zoning Ordinance Section 12.7, Conditional Use Permit Standards and Conditions; 2)

Trail and other applicable public infrastructure improvements by the interim City
Engineer. Seconded by Weisensel. Ayes: Shoe Corrigan, Weisensel, Napper, and
Droste. Nays: 0. Motion carried.
New Business: Traditional Downtown Overlay District
Mr. Pearson presented the recommendation of the Port Authority for an ordinance
creating an overlay district for the traditional downtown area. Mr. Pearson described the
area covered by the district. He explained the purpose of the overlay district would be to
impose stricter standards for this area, including lower maximum height and allowing
townhomes and multi family development to support redevelopment.
Discussions continued concerning issues related to transit stations, the impact on existing
residential, and expectations for design standards and signage. This additional layer of
regulations would apply to new construction and redevelopment.
Planning Commission
Regular Meeting Minutes
March 27, 2001
Page 3
Commissioner Shoe Corrigan noted the intent of the ordinance is to encourage
development of a style compatible with the predominant structures in the downtown. She
suggested the ordinance be more specific as to what is considered to be the predominant
structure.
Commissioner Weisensel inquired whether there is a vision of what we want the
downtown to look like. He did not see how the creation of an overlay district would
accomplish this.
Commissioner Napper felt walls surrounding rooftop mechanical equipment would be
unsightly.
Commissioner Shoe Corrigan referenced the conditional uses requiring multi parcels,
tenants, buildings, and uses to have varying setbacks from the public right -of -way. She
felt this requirement conflicts with previous preferences to have buildings lined up on
sidewalks.

Present: Weisensel. Nay: Shoe Corrigan. Motion failed.
New Business: Richard Cliff Appeal of Staff Zoning Interpretation
Mr. Pearson explained that Richard Cliff has a purchaser for 40 acres and is seeking
subdivision approval. Mr. Cliff owns 79.54 acres in the Agriculture District, where the
density standard is 1 dwelling unit per 40 acres. Division of Mr. Cliff's property would
result in two 39.77 acre parcels. Mr. Cliff requested that staff "round upwards" from the
79.54 acres to 80 acres. The zoning ordinance does not give staff that flexibility.
Previous subdivisions of the Cliff property were reviewed, along with options to achieve
the 40 acre requirement. Mr. Pearson informed the Commission on the evolution of the
1/40 acre density standard.
Commissioner Napper encouraged fairness in considering Mr. Cliff's request.
Chairperson Droste considered the reasonableness of Mr. Cliff's request and did not feel
any codes would be jeopardized by granting Mr. Cliff's request.
MOTION by Weisensel to uphold the staff interpretation of the minimum density
standards of the Agriculture district in the zoning ordinance. Seconded by Shoe
Corrigan. Ayes: Napper, Shoe Corrigan, and Weisensel. Nays: Droste. Motion carried.

Regulations and Traditional Downtown Overly District. The recording secretary has
placed the Posting of a Public Hearing Notice and Affidavit of Publication on file with
the City.
Mr. Pearson presented an overview of the proposed changes to the Commercial District
Zoning relations. The changes are intended to make the Commercial Zoning District
classifications more user friendly.
The purpose of the C -1, Convenience Commercial District, is to provide residential
neighborhoods with convenience shopping and personal services that could serve the
daily and weekly needs of the surrounding neighborhoods and are not intended to serve
the entire community. Changes for this district are the inclusion of dimensional /setback
standards and permitted uses in addition to gas stations /convenience stores.
The C -2, Community Commercial District, is renamed to Downtown Commercial. This
district is intended to serve the entire city and be a diversified commercial center that
offers the full range of comparison goods, sales and services, cultural, civic, and
entertainment opportunities, financial and professional offices, and public uses.
The C -3, Highway Commercial District, is intended to provide areas for business and
retail services that require a large amount of outdoor storage and/or passing motorists.
Chairperson Caspar opened the floor to the audience input. There was none.
Chairperson Caspar opened the floor to the commissioner for discussion.
Discussion ensued by the Commissioners regarding which district would allow auto
sales /repair and exterior wall surfaces of all buildings within each district. Districts C -2
and C -3 exterior wall surfaces must be constructed of one hundred percent brick. It was
the desire of the Commissioners that in the C -2 and C -3 districts, the buildings have
similar style and/or color of brick in order to compliment each other. The
Commissioners were also concerned about brightly colored brick.

Code Enforcement Official Sheila O'Bryan summarized staff's actions in reference to a
complaint filed regarding monkeys living inside a resident's home.
Karrie Bulera, 4290 147 Street West, who is the owner of the monkeys, addressed the
Planning Commission. Ms. Bulera advised that the monkeys have been in her residence
since the early ninties, considers the monkeys to be domesticated, and should be allowed
to remain in her home.
Discussion ensued by the commissioners regarding the definition of domestic animals. It
was the consensus of the commission that the ordinance should be updated to encompass
more exotic animals as they are becoming more domesticated, but the under the current
zoning definitions staff's interpretation is correct.
MOTION by Caspar to uphold staff interpretation of Zoning Regulations on Animals

Plat
Chairperson Caspar confirmed that the recording secretary has placed the Affidavit of
Mailing and Posting of a Public Hearing Notice and Affidavit of Publication concerning
the Progress Land Company (Rosewood) Preliminary Plat public hearing on file with the
City.

Plat Rezoning. The recording secretary has placed the Affidavit of Mailing and
Posting of a Public Hearing Notice and Affidavit of Publication on file with the City.
Mr. Pearson reviewed the concept plan for Bloomfield Addition and confirmed that the

Planning Commission
Regular Meeting Minutes
May 8, 2001
Page 2
the ponding area be maintained by the homeowners' association and that the city retain
an easement.
Street design and access were reviewed. The consulting City Engineer is reviewing the
street widths to ensure that city standards are met. Mr. Pearson noted lot deficiencies due
to increased lot depth requirements on collector streets. The developer indicated that any
necessary changes would be made to meet those requirements. Proposed access to CSAH
42 requires approval from the Dakota County Plat Commission.
Mr. Pearson identified pipeline easements and their effect on individual lots. A 60 foot
separation is required between the carriage homes, which the developer indicated will be
met. The developer will also make the necessary change to align the intersections for the
carriage homes.
Sidewalks and trails were reviewed. Mr. Pearson explained the general practice of not
placing sidewalks on cul -de -sac streets. Chairperson Caspar suggested that for future
developments the city should take a closer look at the lengths of cul -de -sacs in
determining whether sidewalks should be required. Commissioners recommended
sidewalks on loop streets.
Mr. Pearson recommended additional landscaping along CSAH 42 where there are gaps
in the berming. Commissioners recommended the addition of conditions to include
maintenance of the ponding areas and additional sidewalks.
Chairperson Caspar opened the floor to the public. There were no comments.
Dwight Jelle, Construction Engineer for the project, provided a history of the
development and assured Commissioners that city regulations would be met. As
concerns the ponding area, Mr. Jelle indicated a preference to run an imaginary line
through the middle of the pond, extending lot lines from the single family homes and
requiring the homeowners' association to maintain the other half of the pond. Ponding
capacity was discussed. Mr. Jelle wishes to clarify with the city whether there is any off
site drainage into the pond.

Public Hearing: Progress Land Company Mixed Use Concept PUD
(Rosewood)
Vice Chairperson Weisensel confirmed that the recording secretary has placed the
Affidavit of Mailing and Posting of a Public Hearing Notice and Affidavit of Publication
concerning the public hearing on Progress Land Company Mixed Use Concept PUD
(Rosewood) on file with the City.
Councilmember Klassen provided insight on City Council concerns regarding the
Rosewood concept plan. The City Council will look hard at the expanded commercial
use. The Comprehensive Guide Plan, which allows 7 acres of commercial on this site,
would have to be amended to allow the additional commercial. The City Council is
reluctant to amend the Comp Plan. There is also concern about the impact this expanded
commercial will have on the commercial downtown and other commercial areas in the
City.
Mr. Pearson summarized the concept plan for Rosewood. The proposed development is
located west of Biscayne Avenue, between CSAH 42 and 145 St. The Comprehensive
Plan designates the entire parcel Urban Residential, except for a 7 acre parcel at the
corner of CSAH 42 and the railroad track that is designated Commercial. Approximately
28 additional acres is proposed for commercial use. If the concept is approved, the
Comprehensive Plan would have to be amended due to a change in land use for the
Planning Commission
Regular Meeting Minutes
June 12, 2001
Page 2
additional commercial and 9 acres light industrial. The concept plan also provides for
single family housing along Biscayne Avenue, multi family housing on both sides of the
railroad spur, and 15 acres in the southeast corner for a church. Challenges to the concept
plan include mitigation to counter the effects of Greif Bros. and the railroad spur.
Mitigation could be in the form of physical barriers and increased separation from the
railroad spur and from the industrial uses. The previous owner of the property
determined that the railroad spur could not be relocated.
Vice Chairperson Weisensel opened the meeting to the applicant. Warren Isrealson,
President of Progress Land Company, indicated the only definite part of the plan is the 15
acres for the church. The developer is open to any suggestions for the remaining uses.
He has concerns with the railroad spur, the railroad tracks, and the industrial uses
surrounding residential uses.
Mike Olson, Project Manager, indicated that, other than the church, the developer has no
specific uses in mind for the remainder of the site. The developer is looking for direction
from the City. If the increased commercial use is not acceptable, they will propose
residential use.
Commissioner Carr stated her preference that commercial uses be located close to the
railroad rather than residential uses.
Activity on the railroad tracks and spur were discussed. Mr. Pearson indicated that
activity on the spur includes weekly shipments to Greif Bros., possible salt shipments to
Dakota County, and turnarounds for trains. Approximately 10 -12 trains travel the main
line each day.
Vice Chairperson Weisensel opened the Public Hearing.
Todd Schoffelman, 14712 Bloomfield Way, inquired about the process for changes to the
concept plan.
Jim Wilds, 14171 Cobbler Avenue, is a representative of St. John's church. He offered
support for the concept plan and feels the development would be beneficial to the City.
Betty Zanmiller, 2745 W. 145 St., feels the city needs more residential land. She
believes the additional commercial proposed for this site would kill the downtown
commercial.
Dr. Terry Johnson, 13037 Charleston Way, responded that problems the downtown is
experiencing would continue to happen without this additional commercial development.
He feels that the more commercial the City can offer, the more it will serve to revitalize
Planning Commission
Regular Meeting Minutes
June 12, 2001
Page 3
the downtown. Mr. Johnson noted that there is limited commercial land remaining in
Rosemount.
Kerry Budinger, 14680 Biscayne Way, believes it would make more sense to have
commercial along Hwys. 3 and 42. She would not recommend having residential located
so close to the railroad tracks. She also feels that more commercial would revitalize the
downtown.
MOTION by Arveson to close the public hearing. Seconded by Carr. Ayes: Carr,
Weisensel, and Arveson. Nays: 0. Motion carried.
Commissioners reviewed surrounding zoning uses.
Vice Chairperson Weisensel indicated that he previously expressed his reservation for
residential use in this area and that he would prefer to see a light industrial/business park
designation. He believes the church is a good use and fits into the Urban Residential
designation. He has no problem with the expanded commercial uses. Weisensel is
concerned there could be a problem combining the light industrial use with commercial
uses and feels there is too much residential proposed
MOTION by Arveson to recommend that the City Council approve the concept for
"Rosewood" subject to: 1) Amending the Comprehensive Plan for the change of Urban
Residential land to more Commercial and Business Park (light industrial) land; 2)
Rezoning in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan as amended; 3) Mitigation of the
effects of the rail spur and adjacent Greif Bros. industrial use against the proposed
residential uses; and 4) Conformance with the requirements for preliminary plat for the
residential and commercial uses and conditional uses for development of the church site.
Seconded by Carr. Ayes: Weisensel, Arveson, and Carr. Nays: 0. Motion carried.
Public Hearing: Darrin Leslie Johnson Conditional Use Permit
Vice Chairperson Weisensel confirmed that the recording secretary has placed the
Affidavit of Mailing and Posting of a Public Hearing Notice and Affidavit of Publication
concerning the public hearing on Darrin Leslie Johnson Conditional Use Permit on file
with the City.
Aaron Jones, Planning Intern, presented the request by Darrin Leslie Johnson for a

on Saturdays. The operation is regulated by insurance and safety procedures are in place.
They will use the existing road for access and add a parking lot.
In response to Commissioner Arveson's inquiries, Mr. Johnson explained the participants
rent the paintball equipment. Cylinders are filled from 50 lb. tanks located upon vehicles,
which are removed when the games are completed. No structures will be constructed.
Vice Chairperson Weisensel referred to a letter from D.W. Severson, dated June 4, 2001,
in opposition to the conditional use permit. Mr. Severson referenced issues with his
horses and calls made to the police. Mr. Pearson indicated the only police call related to
a paintball operation was for trespass, which was resolved immediately.
Mr. Johnson indicated the paintball games would be confined to an area at least 300 feet
from the neighboring property and the horses. Trespassing would be avoided by the use
of survey tape marking the boundaries and by referee supervision.
Vice Chairperson Weisensel opened the public hearing.
Pete Dutchek, representing CF Industries, expressed opposition to the conditional use
permit, citing a concern for traffic and pedestrian safety. Mr. Dutchek explained his
company is dependent upon high volume truck, rail and barge transportation. Pine Bend
Trail is primarily an industrial road, servicing approximately 500 trucks daily. Mr.
Dutchek's concerns include measures to ensure public and wildlife safety, security at the
site when left unattended, hours of operation, insurance, anticipated number of people to
be accommodated, service of food beverage, and trash. He also indicated that
notification of this public hearing should have been sent beyond the 1 /4 mile radius.
Mr. Jones responded that the entrance to the facility is gated. No parking is allowed on
Pine Bend Trail. Hours of operation are 8 a.m. to sunset, Sunday through Saturday. Mr.
Pearson explained statutory requirements for service of the public hearing notice.
Mr. Johnson added to the responses that he has not experienced any traffic problems with
other operations. Refreshments will be served. Trash will be collected and taken to an
off -site location. If necessary, he would be willing to adopt Pine Bend Trail. Participants
are supervised and instructed not to shoot at animals. Mr. Johnson described the required
insurance.
Julie Simones, 13273 Pine Bend Trail, is a neighboring property owner who owns and
boards horses. Ms. Simones presented a letter, which was entered into the Clerk's record.
Ms. Simones explained her concern that her horses would panic and run from the noise
generated by the paintball operation. She is concerned for her children's safety and for
the horses if they run through fences. The noise would affect breeding and her business

Vice Chairperson Weisensel confirmed that the recording secretary has placed the
Affidavit of Mailing and Posting of a Public Hearing Notice and Affidavit of Publication
concerning the public hearing on Bay Bay Transfer request for a sign variance on file
with the City.
Mr. Pearson presented the request by Bay Bay Transfer for a variance from sign
standards, allowing a sign 40' high and 150 sq.ft. in area. The ordinance allows a sign
20' in height and 100 sq.ft. in area. Bay Bay is located on Conley Avenue east of
Hwy. 52 and claims that signage allowed by the zoning ordinance is not sufficient to
allow visibility from Hwy. 52.
Vice Chairperson Weisensel opened the meeting to the applicant.

Sam Anderson, Bay Bay Transfer, provided a history of his family's business.
Mike Lawrance, Signcrafters, summarized circumstances that meet the hardship criteria
necessary for the granting of a variance, including an equitable opportunity to advertise,
exceptional circumstances unique to the site, and deprivation of the use and enjoyment of
the property. Bay Bay Transfer requires a larger sign because it is not visible from
Hwy. 52 due to distance from Hwy. 52, grading, and the Wayne Transport facility.
Vice Chairperson Weisensel opened the public hearing. There were no comments.
MOTION by Carr to close the public hearing. Seconded by Arveson. Ayes: Arveson,
Carr, and Weisensel. Nays: 0. Motion carried.
Commissioner Carr viewed the subject site and indicated that visibility of Bay Bay is
blocked by Wayne Transport. She supported their need for a larger sign.
Vice Chairperson Weisensel did not feel Bay Bay had met the hardship burden.
Although he had no objection to a larger sign, it is prohibited by ordinance. Weisensel
recommended that the City Council give consideration to amending the current sign
ordinance as it pertains to properties located along the Hwy. 52 corridor.
MOTION by Weisensel to deny the variance for sign height and area requested by Bay
Bay Transfer because of the inability to meet the hardship finding required in Section
14.2 of the Zoning Ordinance. Seconded by Arveson. Ayes: Weisensel and Arveson.
Nays: Carr. Motion carried.

Public Hearing: Ted Jennifer Carothers Variance
Chairperson Caspar confirmed that the recording secretary has placed the Affidavit of
Mailing and Posting of a Public Hearing Notice and Affidavit of Publication concerning
the public hearing on the application by Ted Jennifer Carothers for a variance.
Aaron Jones presented the request by Ted and Jennifer Carothers for a variance from
front and side yard setbacks to build an attached three -stall garage and for a 6' fence.
The existing garage has a driveway that exits onto Damask Avenue. The proposed
garage would have a driveway exiting onto Danbury Avenue.
Ted Carothers provided further explanation for the requested variance. The existing
garage uses up most of the back yard space. He indicated there have been no accidents
at the Danbury /Damask corner and he noted numerous other driveways that presently exit
onto Danbury.
Chairperson Caspar opened the public hearing.
Tom Raschke, 14573 Damask Avenue, indicated that the volume of traffic on Danbury,
combined with poor visibility at the intersection, create safety concerns at the
Danbury/Damask intersection. Cars parked on the driveway proposed by Carothers
would further block vision at the intersection. He suggested an L- shaped layout for the
garage, with the driveway exiting onto Damask.
Planning Commission

Mike Hessian, 14505 Danbury Avenue, identified multiple driveways exiting onto
Danbury. He felt the driveway for Carothers' proposed garage should exit onto Damask.
Duane Kulla, appeared on behalf of his parents who live at 14550 Danbury Ave. Mr.
Kulla expressed his parents' concern with traffic on Danbury and pine trees blocking the
view of the intersection. Vehicles parked in the proposed driveway would create
additional blockage of the view.
Discussions continued concerning a variance for the fence. Carothers' lot has two front
yards, both on Danbury Ave. and Damask Ave. The 6' fence they have requested along
Damask Ave. is limited by ordinance to a height of 42
Mr. Carothers responded to concerns explaining the proposed driveway would be 65'
long and would allow ample space for parking. Traffic issues on Danbury Ave. will
continue to exist regardless of the requested driveway.
Commissioners reviewed the restrictions placed on this lot by city ordinance. Other
alternatives were considered.
Commissioner Weisensel recommended that the City Council consider changes to corner
lot restrictions imposed by city ordinance.
MOTION by Caspar to recommend that the Board of Appeals deny the request of a
variance for garage and fence, subject to the fact that hardship is not presented.
Seconded by Arveson. Ayes: Napper, Caspar, Carr, Weisensel, and Arveson. Nays: 0.

MOTION by Weisensel to close the public hearing. Seconded by Carr. Ayes: Caspar,

Public Hearing: Jeffrey A. Miller Variance
Chairperson Caspar confirmed that the recording secretary has placed the Affidavit of
Mailing and Posting of a Public Hearing Notice and Affidavit of Publication concerning
the public hearing on the application by Jeffrey A. Miller for a variance.
Mr. Pearson explained the nature of the variance request to place a 480 sq.ft accessory
structure in a back yard. The two- tiered setback regulations for accessory structures in
the R1 -A zoning district require rear yard setbacks of 5' for structures 120 sq.ft. or less
and 25 feet for structures over 120 sq.ft. Additionally, regulations for corner lots require
a 30 foot setback from the street side. The applicant is asking to locate the proposed
structure 5 feet from the rear property line and 17 feet from the street side.
Planning Commission
Regular Meeting Minutes
June 26, 2001
Page 3
Mr. Pearson presented alternate locations for the accessory structure that would meet
setback requirements. Options for a modified variance were reviewed.
Jeff Miller explained the existing fence would remain untouched. Placing the structure
25' from the rear property line would put it right up to a deck. They are in compliance
with the 30% lot coverage requirement. Neighbors have been supportive of his plans.
Mr. Pearson indicated the existing garage attached to the house extends into the setback
area, making it non conforming. Locating the accessory structure behind the non-
conforming garage could result in a variance legitimizing the garage in the process.
Commissioner Carr mentioned that safety is not an issue in this instance and that she
would not want to see any trees lost.
Chairperson Caspar commented that the structure should be located within the setback
area if possible. He emphasized that it is important to remain consistent.
Mr. Pearson affirmed that no objections were received from the neighbors.
Mr. Miller urged Commissioners to be more open minded, to look at the surrounding
neighborhood, and to be more concerned about the quality of what is being built.
Commissioner Weisensel recommended that the City Council look at the two- tiered
setback regulations for accessory structures.
MOTION by Carr to close the public hearing. Seconded by Arveson. Ayes: Carr,
Weisensel, Arveson, Napper, and Caspar. Nays: 0. Motion carried.
MOTION by Carr to approve the variance request because of the impact of the
significant trees and the impact on the rear yard. Seconded by Napper. Ayes: Napper,
Carr, and Weisensel. Nays: Arveson and Caspar. Motion carried.
Public Hearing: Schlukebier Lot Width Variance Rezoning and
Administrative Plat
Chairperson Caspar confirmed that the recording secretary has placed the Affidavit of
Mailing and Posting of a Public Hearing Notice and Affidavit of Publication concerning
the public hearing on the applications by Chris and Lynda Schlukebier for a lot width
variance, rezoning, and administrative plat.
Mr. Pearson summarized the proposal by Schlukebiers to purchase approximately 14
acres from Joe Altendorfer and subdivide the property into a 3 acre parcel for the existing
house and 10.77 acres for a home to be built by Schlukebiers. The 10.77 acre lot will
have 50' of frontage rather than the required 200' frontage, requiring a variance to lot

width requirements. The proposed driveway must be shifted out of the wetland.
Additionally, the property must be rezoned from Agriculture to Rural Residential in
compliance with the Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. Pearson explained an issue with a landlocked parcel of property located east of
Schlukebiers' property and owned by the McMenomy family. It is uncertain whether an
easement exists providing access for this property to the public road to the north. If an
easement does exist, wetland mitigation would have to occur.
Consideration was given to an easement along the southern boundary of Schlukebiers'
property for access to the McMenomy property. However, it would be necessary for the
property owners to the south to also grant an easement, and it appears they are unwilling
to do so.
Chairperson Caspar opened the public hearing.
Terry McMenomy, Woodbury, Minnesota, addressed issues with access to their property.
He explained that, if an easement does exist to the north, a road could not be located
through a wetland to gain access to Bacardi.
John McMenomy, 1283 135 St. W., provided additional background on the access issue.
Discussions continued on the access issue to the McMenomy property.
MOTION by Arveson to close the public hearing. Seconded by Carr. Ayes: Napper,
Caspar, Carr, Weisensel, and Arveson. Nays: 0. Motion carried.
MOTION by Caspar to grant the variance to lot width requirements based upon the
attached (draft) findings required of Section 14.2 of the zoning ordinance subject to
relocating the proposed driveway out of the 75 ft. buffer area. Seconded by Arveson.
Ayes: Carr, Weisensel, Arveson, Napper, and Caspar. Nays: 0. Motion carried.

Public Hearing: D.R. Horton Crosscroft Clubhouse Site Plan
Review
Chairperson Caspar confirmed that the recording secretary has placed the Affidavit of
Mailing and Posting of a Public Hearing Notice and Affidavit of Publication concerning
the public hearing on the application by D.R. Horton for a site plan review concerning the
Crosscroft Clubhouse.
Councilmember Klassen updated the Planning Commission on the status of erosion
control issues at the Evermoor development. Meetings have occurred between numerous
environmental agencies, the city and the developer. The City Water Resource Engineer

Public Hearing: Washington Heights Preliminary Plat
Chairperson Caspar confirmed that the recording secretary has placed the Affidavit of
Mailing and Posting of a Public Hearing Notice and Affidavit of Publication concerning
the public hearing on the application by Washington Heights for a preliminary plat for
Outlot C, McNamara Addition.
Mr. Pearson presented the preliminary plat proposed for approximately 7 acres located
between Cub Foods and Goodyear, between CSAH 42 and 151 St. Five lots are
proposed. No additional driveways are allowed from CSAH 42 or 151 St.
Mr. Pearson reviewed the internal traffic circulation and indicated that sufficient parking
is provided. Staff recommends that the requirements of the PUD remain in place. The
lot boundary lines must be adjusted to be located in the traffic lanes or parking islands
rather than through parking spaces. The developer has agreed to this adjustment. Two
additional conditions of approval are recommended, including utilization of installed curb
cut and apron on Claret Avenue, along with installation of sidewalks around the entire
perimeter of the site and connections to the interior of the building pads.
Chairperson Caspar confirmed that the applicant had not yet arrived.
Chairperson Caspar opened the public hearing.
Stein Bruch, 15142 Cimarron Avenue, represented the homeowners association for Claret
Springs Village. Mr. Bruch stated there should be no expectation by the developer for
amendments to the PUD such as Cub received. He does not believe landscaping
requirements behind Cub and Goodyear have been met. The residents want a berm with
trees rather than a brick wall for screening. He asked that sufficient space be left behind
the buildings to allow for landscaping.

She is concerned with landscaping, hours of operation, and traffic.

Commissioners reviewed landscaping requirements. Mr. Pearson addressed questions
concerning the hours of operation. He explained the city does not control hours of
operation, except in the PUD where Walgreens and the daycare fronting Shannon
Parkway are limited to 11:00 p.m. Cub will be a 24 hour operation.
Mr. Pearson explained in further detail the process for review and approval of each
separate building. The proposal is for three restaurants and two retail businesses. Any
change to this proposal would require a public hearing.
Traffic circulation was discussed. Mr. Pearson explained the limitations placed by the
county on access to CSAH 42.

requirements for a corner lot. Ms. Jacques wishes to install a six -foot high fence within
the setback area. Staff feels the fence would present visibility issues at the intersection
and would intrude into the neighbor's front yard area. Landscaping alternatives were
recommended.
Chairperson Caspar opened the meeting to the applicant.
Margaret Jacques indicated the map on the mailed public hearing notice seemed to
indicate the fence would be located in their front yard and that this caused confusion with
the neighbors. She presented additional letters in support of the variance, together with
comparisons to other similar lots with six -foot fences. She explained that the fence is
necessary for privacy and for her children's safety as a result of increased traffic on
December Trail and activity at Lions Park. Placement of the fence out of the 30' setback
area would reduce the useable area of their back yard. The rear property owner who is
most affected by the fence has no objection to the variance.

Chairperson Caspar recessed the regular Planning Commission meeting and opened the
Board of Appeals Adjustment.
Chairperson Caspar opened the public hearing. There were no comments.
MOTION by Caspar to close the public hearing. Seconded by Weisensel. Ayes:
Napper, Caspar, Weisensel, and Arveson. Nays: 0. Motion carried.
Commissioners inquired about existing, similar fences in the neighborhood and whether
an enforcement problem exists or if variances were granted which allowed them.
Chairperson Caspar felt the variance allowing the fence would create a public safety
issue. The Jacques have an existing chainlink fence, which is 10' into the setback area.
There was discussion whether the 6' fence could be allowed in the chainlink fence
location.
Commissioner Weisensel recommended that a prior mistake not be legitimized, that the
City take a look at apparent enforcement issues with other existing fences, and that the
City Council review corner lot issues.
MOTION by Weisensel to recommend that the Board of Appeals deny the request of a
variance for a fence, subject to the fact that hardship is not presented, and that the City
Council review the issue of fences in relation to corner lots. Seconded by Arveson.
Ayes: Caspar, Weisensel, Arveson, and Napper. Nays: 0. Motion carried.
Chairperson Caspar closed the Board of Appeals Adjustments and reconvened the
regular Planning Commission meeting.

New Business: Evermoor Wicklow Addition Final Plat
Mr. Pearson presented the application by Contractor Property Developers Company for
the Wicklow Addition final plat. The plat consists of ten lots which back up to Country
Hills and Shannon Hills. The final plat is consistent with the approval preliminary plat.
The developer will adjust the lot lines to eliminate a 5' width deficiency for Lot 5.
MOTION by Caspar to recommend that the City Council approve the final plat for
Evermoor Wicklow Addition subject to: 1) Modification to Lot 5, Block 2 to eliminate
the lot width variance; 2) Execution of a subdivision agreement to secure public
infrastructure including streets and utilities; 3) Incorporation of recommendations of the
Interim City Engineer relative to drainage, easements, grading, public streets and utilities;
and 4) Payment of all platting, G.I.S., Park Dedication, applicable City Review fees and

New Business: Evermoor Corrective Plat for Innisfree
As Council liaison to the Planning Commission, Councilmember Klassen expressed her
concern with the corrective platting process and that this new process would not
circumvent a process or create a precedent. Based upon conversations with the city
attorney, Councilmember Klassen explained that the recommended action, while it does
not fit the language of paragraph 6.2.E. of the Subdivision Ordinance, it is close in intent.
She recommended the Planning Commission proceed with the corrective platting process,
provided that 1) it does not create new lots, streets, variances, or affect existing buildings,
2) it is minor in its effect to the City, the project, and residents, and 3) it is consistent with
the approved preliminary plat and PUD.
Mr. Pearson summarized the developer's request to adjust lot lines. The detached
townhomes are larger than originally anticipated and, without the lot line adjustments,
would not fit within the required six -foot side setbacks. The change does not result in
any variances and is consistent with the approved PUD.
0 Discussions continued concerning the corrective plat process.
MOTION by Arveson to recommend that the City Council approve the corrective plat
for Innisfree subject to: 1) Payment of G.I.S. fees for the revised lot boundary lines; 2)
Incorporation of recommendations of the Interim City Engineer relative to easements as
necessary for the plat. Seconded by Napper. Ayes: Arveson, Napper, Caspar, and
Weisensel. Nays: 0. Motion carried.
Director's Report: None.
There being no further business to come before this Commission, upon MOTION by
Caspar and upon unanimous decision, the meeting was adjourned at 8:00 p.m.

Affidavit of Publication concerning the public hearing on the variance requested by Scott
and Christina Peterson.
Vice Chairperson Weisensel recessed the regular Planning Commission meeting and
opened the Board of Appeals Adjustments.
Mr. Jones summarized the Petersons' request for a 1,750 sq.ft., five -stall attached garage.
The Petersons live on Fischer Avenue in the Agricultural District. Petersons are
requesting a variance from zoning requirements, which limits an attached garage to a
maximum size of 1,000 sq.ft. In addition to the home, there is an existing 30'x30' barn.
Zoning regulations allow an aggregate total of 2400 sq.ft. for unattached accessory
buildings. Staff recommends that the variance be denied. Options do exist allowing the
Petersons to enlarge their existing garage to 1,000 sq.ft. and to build a separate
unattached garage up to 1,500 sq.ft. in size.
Vice Chairperson Weisensel opened the meeting to the applicant. Christina Peterson
explained that their growing family required more parking and storage space. The house
living area was extended into the existing garage to provide additional closet space. They
are opposed to an unattached garage for convenience purposes.

Vice Chairperson Weisensel confirmed that the recording secretary has placed on file
with the City the Affidavit of Mailing and Posting of a Public Hearing Notice and
Affidavit of Publication concerning the public hearing on the Concept PUD for Biscayne
Pointe Fourth Addition.
Mr. Pearson presented the concept plan for Biscayne Pointe Fourth Addition, located
north of Biscayne Pointe development, '/4 mile east of Biscayne Avenue and east of the
proposed site for St. Joseph's. Connections to Connemara Trail were reviewed. The
Parks Recreation Commission feels that two lots in the southern portion of the
development should be absorbed into the existing park. Several issues remain
unresolved, including street alignment and ponding. These issues cannot be resolved
within the 60 day statutory period. Staff believes this concept plan is premature
Discussions continued concerning the Connemara Trail location and spacing between
intersections.
Vice Chairperson Weisensel opened the meeting to the applicant. Tom Von Bische
addressed issues related to the location of Birchwood Avenue and suggested that it run
along the property line. Because the drainage pond also services the church property, he
suggested that the pond be moved to the western boundary. Because his development
will be assessed for Connemara Trail, he feels the development should have the right to
10 access onto Connemara Trail.
Mr. Pearson explained it is too early to comment on Mr. Von Bische's suggestions.
Extensive design changes cannot be accomplished in a meeting.

Concept Plan would be pulled from the agenda. The public hearing is continued to
September 25, 2001, to allow the applicant an opportunity to revise the plan. Mr.
Pearson indicated that Technical Erectors eliminated the need for a variance; therefore,
Item 5.C. could be removed from the agenda. There were no other additions or
corrections to the agenda.
Audience Input: None.

Commission meeting be corrected to reflect that Commissioner Weisensel voted against

proposed by Technical Erectors. The building site is located north of Hwy. 55 in the
Mississippi River Critical Corridor Area. Setbacks for bluff line protection will be met.
The applicant has agreed to adjust the site plan to meet the parking setback and eliminate
the need for a variance. The building meets all city standards and landscaping exceeds all
requirements. Standards require 43 parking stalls for the current phase. Although 25
parking stalls are provided, future parking potential could provide for the deficiency. A
Proof of Parking agreement would be required. Mr. Pearson requested that revision of
the site plan to eliminate the parking setback variance be substituted as a condition of
approval.

Rick Harrison provided background information on planning history, designs, and
technology. He explained the nature of the coving design of development. The proposed
single family lots would be a minimum size of 10,000 square feet and have increased
front and side yards. The proposed bay homes are in a cluster development and would
have three -stall garages. Pedestrian links are provided in the bay home area. Winding
streets would provide a traffic calming effect.
Mr. Pearson summarized the proposal for 86 single family homes and 45 bay homes.
The single family homes are on deeper lots with larger front yards. Rear yard setbacks
will be examined to ensure they meet city standards. Placement of the bay homes along
Greif Bros. provides an opportunity for enhanced landscaping and buffering from the

Chairperson Weisensel opened the floor to the audience input.
Frank Knoll, 4322 145 Street East, expressed concern with the amount of construction
debris versus ash that could be disposed of at this site.
Brenda Sugii, 13701 Courthouse Blvd., expressed concern over the number of times this
business has been sold, the new owners continual requests for expansion, and the
allowance of ash.
III Mr. Pearson explained the process regarding SKB's application for this amendment. This
facility was sold as a non- hazardous waste facility. It was by MPCA's determination that
ash was not considered to be hazardous waste, which allowed the city to accept ash. The
Planning Commission determines how this facility will impact the City and the State
determines if this facility meets safety standards. It is the responsibility of the MPCA to
determine the impact to the environment
Otto Ped, 4992 145 St. E., expressed concern with the number of times this property has
changed owners each owner upping the anti, and the height limitations of the cells not
being adhered to.
MOTION by Napper to close the public hearing. Second by Arveson. Ayes: Napper,
Weisensel, Carr, and Arveson. Nays: None. Motion carried
Chairperson Weisensel opened the floor to the commissioner for discussion.
Commissioner Carr requested further information regarding the acceptance of ash.
Mike Fullterton, Facility Manager, stated that ash was at one time considered special
waste and could only be disposed of in special cells with a special design. That
determination was challenged. The EPA tested ash and found it was not hazardous and is
now classified as industrial waste. Mr. Fullerton recapped how the cells were constructed
and indicated they test the leachate regularly.

S Public Hearing: Minea Concept Residential Planned Unit
Development
Chairperson Weisensel confirmed that the recording secretary has placed on file with the
City the Affidavit of Mailing and Posting of a Public Hearing Notice and Affidavit of
Publication concerning the public hearing on the Minea Concept Residential Planned
Unit Development.
Mr. Pearson summarized the Minea concept plan for a 324 lot single family development.
The property is located south of 135 Street and north of Bloomfield development. 16
acres located in the northwest corner of the property, consisting mostly of wetland, is
proposed for the park. The main issue is the alignment of Connemara Trail. The location
proposed by the developer is not consistent with the WSB design and crosses a low area
intended for stormwater ponding.
Chairperson Weisensel opened the floor to the developer. Craig Minea addressed issues
with the Connemara Trail alignment, referring to other locations which would minimize
the amount of undevelopable land between the gas line and Connemara Trail. He
opposes the bridge railroad crossing, which would result in a 5 story high bridge. Mr.
Minea proposes a tunnel crossing under the railroad at the exact location specified in the
2020 Comprehensive Plan. The proposed plan requires no variances.
John Uban, Dahlgren, Shardlow Uban, requested further discussion between the city
and surrounding property owners on the Connemara Trail alignment. The alignment as
proposed by the developer is consistent with the Comp Plan as approved by the City
Council. Mr. Uban described the topography of the land and the clearance necessary to
Planning Commission

go over the railroad, in comparison to an underpass. Mr. Uban described the proposed
park area in detail, and reviewed lot sizes and street design. In addition to the Connemara
Trail overpass, the pipeline and Co. Rd. 38 along the western boundary result in a large
amount of undevelopable land.
John Johnson, Engineer, summarized engineering impacts concerning this property,
including Connemara Trail, sanitary sewer, and storm water ponding. He estimated costs
for an overpass at $1,629,000, compared to estimated costs for an underpass at
$1,540,000. A bridge would be 32 feet above the railroad. The pipeline location and
drainage pond require that the grade separation should be located parallel to the pipeline,
or near the west property line, or further east on the neighboring parcel. Sanitary sewer
options consist of service from Biscayne Pointe, which would require a lift station, or
from Bloomfield, which would not require a lift station. Mr. Johnson addressed storm
water ponding and the additional acreage necessary if Minea's property is required to
serve adjacent properties.
John Uban summarized restrictions affecting the Minea property, along with the
advantages to an underpass. The collector street restricts development and prohibits
driveway access. The city proposed regional storm water ponding consumes a large area
in the southwest corner. The Connemara Trail location, the overpass, and the pipeline
easement are additional restrictions.
Commissioner Napper asked how much acreage intended for park is not part of the
wetland. Mr. Uban responded that 8 -9 acres are useable parkland. The developer does
not expect full credit for the 16 acres proposed and is willing to make a cash payment for
any parkland shortage.
Chairperson Weisensel opened the floor to the public. There was no public comment.
MOTION by Arveson to close the public hearing. Seconded by Weisensel. Ayes:
Napper, Weisensel, Carr, and Arveson. Nays: 0. Motion carried.
Chairperson Weisensel requested further information concerning decisions on the
Connemara Trail alignment. Mr. Pearson responded that Centex and St. Joseph's
committed to the Connemara location. The Comprehensive Plan notes the need for the
collector street, but also notes the need for further studies. WSB spent months on studies
concerning this project and their proposal has been reviewed and accepted by the City
Council. A grade separation is necessary for emergency services. As concerns
stormwater ponding, the City looks at the quantity of storage, not design of the pond.
Discussions continued concerning the need for an additional fire station, communications
between the City and the developer, and a feasibility report for the sanitary sewer.
MOTION by Carr to recommend that the City Council deny the Concept Residential
Planned Unit development because the plan is inconsistent with the "Proposed

Public Hearing: Shafer Mineral Extraction Permit Renewal
Chairperson Weisensel confirmed that the recording secretary has placed on file with the
City the Affidavit of Mailing and Posting of a Public Hearing Notice and Affidavit of
Publication concerning the public hearing on the Shafer Mineral Extraction Permit
Renewal.
Aaron Jones, Planning Intern, presented the application by Shafer Contracting to renew
its mineral extraction permit. Mr. Jones summarized the mining activity in 2001 and
work done on the reclamation plan. The pit is currently in phase 3. No complaints have
been filed with the Police Department.
Chairperson Weisensel opened the floor to the applicant. Scott Spisek summarized the
reclamation work and described the ponding that is being constructed.
Chairperson Weisensel asked that Staff provide new Commissioners with the original
plan submitted by Shafer Contracting, which details the reclamation process.
Chairperson Weisensel opened the floor to the public. There was no public comment.

Weisensel, Carr, Arveson, and Napper. Nays: 0. Motion carried.
MOTION by Napper to recommend that the City Council renew the mineral extraction

Public Hearing: Rosemount 2020 Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Chairperson Weisensel confirmed that the recording secretary has placed on file with the
City the Affidavit of Mailing and Posting of a Public Hearing Notice and Affidavit of
Publication concerning the public hearing on the 2020 Comprehensive Plan Amendment.
Mr. Pearson explained the need for an amendment to the 2020 Comprehensive Plan to
correct a discrepancy in the figures representing the amount of flow to the Empire Waste
Water Service area. The data assembled for the Comp Plan included figures based on
projected development, but omitted the existing flows in the Empire WWTP. The Met
Council discovered the discrepancy and ask that the Plan be amended to make the
correction.

Public Hearing: Luken Variance to Accessory Structure Standards
Chairperson Weisensel confirmed that the recording secretary has placed on file with the
City the Affidavit of Mailing and Posting of a Public Hearing Notice and Affidavit of
Publication concerning the public hearing on the application by Bernard Luken and Allan
Voight for a variance to accessory structure standards.
Mr. Pearson presented the application by property owner Bernard Luken and contractor
Allan Voight, for a variance from zoning regulations limiting the maximum area allowed
for accessory structures in the Rural Residential District to 1200 sq.ft. The various
structures on this property total approximately 7 -8,000 sq.ft. The existing barn was
damaged in a storm. The applicant wishes to repair the barn with structural
improvements and replace a portion with a new structure. Staff is unable to identify a
hardship necessary for the granting of a variance. If the Board of Appeals Adjustments
feels a variance is warranted based upon the intrinsic value of the barn, a condition to the
variance could include the removal of all other accessory structures on the property. Mr.
Pearson explained the concept of non conforming uses.
Chairperson Weisensel recessed the Regular Planning Commission meeting and opened
the Board of Appeals Adjustments.

Chairperson Weisensel opened the floor to the applicant. Allan Voight described the
repair work proposed for the barn. He explained the footprint of the barn is 1560 sq.ft.,
with a total area on two floors of over 3,000 sq.ft.
Commissioner Napper inquired about the proposed use of the barn. Mr. Luken explained
long term plans to demolish all other accessory structures on the property. The barn
would be used for recreational use and private storage.
Chairperson Weisensel opened the floor to the public.
Paul Scarpari, 12700 Dodd Blvd. complimented Mr. Luken for improvements made to
the property. Mr. Scarpari recommended that the variance be granted to allow further
improvements to the property.
Bob Kubat, 12536 Chinchilla Road, indicated the property is subject to restrictive
covenants. He is on the Architectural Committee and notified the applicant that all plans
and proposed uses must be approved by the Committee.
Commissioners discussed options for granting a variance.
Chairperson Weisensel acknowledged the value in maintaining the rural character and the
significance of the barn to the area; however, the Board of Appeals Adjustments is
restricted to granting variances only when a hardship is identified. No hardship has been
identified in this situation. He felt the decision on whether the uniqueness of the barn
warrants a variance would be best made by the City Council. He encouraged the City
Council to consider the significance of the barn to the rural area.
MOTION by Weisensel to deny the variance petition because of an inability to meet the
findings specified in Section 14.2 G.
MOTION by Arveson to amend Weisensel's Motion and to close the public hearing.
