CITY COUNCIL
City Council Regular Meeting: July 19, 2005
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ISSUE
The 42/52 Land Use Group and the Planning Commission have been working on developing a future
land use plan for the eastern two thirds of the City, generally east of Akron Avenue The Planning
Commission has recommended approval of the attached map and it has been forwarded to the Council for
final action.
BACKGROUND
The City Council put together a 42/52 land use group to begin the discussion of appropriate land uses in
the eastern portion of the City The reasons for initiating the protect are many. One was the State and
County plans to upgrade the interchange at 42 52 Another was the recent higher rate of growth in the
community and the need for a MUSA expansion Before an expansion was initiated, it was decided that
the land uses should be evaluated There was also a concern that there was not enough Business Park and
Commercial land m the community and more opportunines could occur along County Road 42 Finally,
the Council wanted to ensure that there was an adequate and steady supply of land to permit orderly,
managed growth.
The 42/52 Land Use Group met on six occasions and developed a land use concept plan. Work group
members were:
Mark DeBetngnies
John Powell
Cathy Boudreau
Don Kern
Valene Schultz
Jonathan Wilmshurst
City Council Member
Planning Commissioner
University of Minnesota
Flint Hills Resources
Planning Commissioner
Stonex, LLC and Vesterra, LLC
Two pubhc information meetings were held m January and February of 2005 with approximately 100 in
total attendance
The Concept Plan has been forwarded to the Planning Commission who have discussed it and received
input from interested parties at five meetings. There have been some modifications from the initial Land
Use Group recommendanon although the general location of different land uses has not changed
significantly. Much of the discussion has been regarding the land uses between Akron Avenue and Hwy
52 on the north side of County Road 42 The Commission held a pubhc heanng over the course of two
meetings During the public hearing a total of 14 people spoke. The Planning Commission made some
adjustments to the map based upon the testimony, and unanimously recommended approval of the
Comprehensive Plan amendment The recommended changes, reflected m the Plan currently before the
Council, were:
40 acres of the Courteau property from Mixed Industrial to Medium Density Residential
70 acres of FHR property from Mixed Industrial to General Industrial
460 acres of FHR property from Rural Residential and Urban Reserve to Agriculture
20 acres for two residences from Urban Reserve to Rural Residential
FHR property bounded by the railroad to the east, Blame Avenue to the west, County Road 42 to
the south and the ridge to the north changed from Business Park to Mixed Industrial
The Commission also supported the recommended residential densities of:
Urban Residential 1 -4 units per acre
Medium Density Residential 4 -8 units per acre
High Density Residennal 8 -20 units per acre
Commissioners also supported adding verbiage to the Comprehensive Plan that commits to reviewing the
amount of commercial land designated north of County Road 42 in the Akron Avenue area. The MUSA
illustrated on the attached map was also part of the recommendation for approval.
SUMMARY
The draft plan has been modified from that suggested by the 42/52 Land Use Group. Generally, the vast
majority of the acreage impacted remains unchanged. However, the Akron area, which will be the first
area for MUSA expansion, has had the most discussion and modification. The area in question is the area
defined', mile west of Akron Avenue to the west, north of County Road 42, north to the City border,
and east to the Blame Avenue The following table provides the different land uses and the approximate
amount of acreage reflected in the Plan recommended by the Planning Commission for approval as
compared to the amount found in the draft concept plan developed by the 42/52 Land Use Group.

During the course of the Commission's deliberations, additional information was made available by
vanous property owners that the Land Use Group was not privy to, which explains many of the changes.
In the Akron Avenue area there have been three major land owners who have parucipated m the
Commission discussions, raising issues and providing additional information The three land owners are
ARCON /Pemtom, Flint Hills Refinery, and Mary Courteau and family
ARCON /Pemton
ARCON /Pemtom controls a significant amount of land at the Akron /42 intersection. In the adopted
2020 Comprehensive Plan, property west of Akron was designated for Urban Residential. Before
extending the MUSA, the City wanted to reevaluate the land uses in the area. It was detemuned, in part
due to the hmited amount of retail property available in the community, that Akron Avenue would be
designated as a retail hub. Other reasons for the designation included the changes to County Road 42
when the interchange project is completed, which will have Akron as the first signalized intersection west
of42 &52.
Initially the 42/52 Land Use Group designated approximately 210 acres of commercial land north of
County Road 42, m the Akron area After concerns from ARCON /Pemtom about the amount of
commercial land m the area, the Commission has reduced the amount of commercial from 210 to 160. Of
the 160 acres, it is estimated that 50 acres are designated south of County Road 42 on the University
property That figure has remained unchanged The amount of commercial proposed on the ARGON
3
holdings is 80 acres with the remaining 30 acres spread east, along County Road 42 on the Courteau and
Bester properties. Previously the entire commercial area was located on the ARCON /Pemtom property.
ARCON /Pemtom's concerns ate that tins is not the appropriate site fot the amount of commercial
designated m the proposed Plan The owner had a market survey conducted which funds that
approximately 15 -20 acres would be adequate to serve the current and future retail market for the area.
The market study indicates that by 2025 the area could support convenience retailers and suggests the total
square footage of commercial attracted to the area would approximate 150,000- 180,000 square feet. More
recently the owner drew up a concept plan for the area which depicts 39 acres for commercial
development Staff had initiated discussions about finding an adequate resolunon to the commercial
acreage discussion after the Planning Commission public hearing. At the hearing one of the representatives
had indicated the developer could agree to 60 acres of commercial development in the Akron Avenue area.
Because the latest proposal from the developer, included m the Council packet, continues to lower than
what was recommended by both the 42/52 Land Use Group and the Planning Commission, staff
continues to support the proposal currently before the Council.
In an April 26, 2005 memo to the Commission, staff lists several reasons why they support providing more
commercial rather than less. The following is an excerpt from the memo:
The market study explains that other commercial areas will rival the Akron area, particularly the
42/52 area. They also indicated that new locations in Hastings and Farmington, and established
commercial centers in Apple Valley and Eagan will limit the ability to attract significant commercial
to this area Another hauling factor is the estunated population that will be m close proximity to
the Akron commercial area and also the transportation system. The study notes that should
portions of the University property contain residential development, additional commercial may be
needed, but that could occur on the University land rather than north of County Road 42.
The acreage totals do not take into account the amount of land that will be needed for ponding
and nght -of -way. The acreages provided to the Commission are on a gross basis and should be
reduced by some factor, perhaps 20 -30% to recognize installation of streets and ponding.
The market study assumes a commercial build -out of 10,000 square feet for every acre of
commercial land. Reviewing the city's development pattern along County Road 42, our
development rate is closer to 6,200 square feet per acre of commercial land Staff believes that the
development pattern at Akron would be consistent to the commercial area along County Road 42.
Therefore the projected commercial square footage in the market study should be 30 -40% lower
The study notes the total acreage for commercial At this tune the City has no office designation
and uses the commercial designation to include any land use classified as service, retail, of office
The expectation is not that all the commercial land will be developed as retail but other non
residennal and non industrial uses will also locate there.
The County traffic projections for Akron and County Road 42 are more in keeping with other
retail areas noted m the market study. The County's 2025 projects are 26,000 for County Road 42
and 4,900 for Akron Avenue Staff would expect that Akron Avenue projections would increase
since the current numbers do not reflect the land use changes anticipated in this 42/52 process.
The market study notes other competitive shopping areas which will hnnrt the ability for

in the cornmumty although Hastings and Apple Valley both have Target.
Finally, staff supports providing more, rather than less, commercial land for several reasons One,
the current amount of vacant commercial land in the City is severely hunted The Council recently
reguided property surrounded by residential to allow for additional commercial land Strategically,
It would be better to have the commercial land on hand rather than have to rezone and reguide
after a neighborhood has been established.
Second, this exercise is a long range planning protect. The current property owner is interested in
short term turn- around for the property The City needs to evaluate longer telni goals and ensure
that resulting land uses are ultimately in the appropriate location. Commercial follows residential so
there will be a lag m development of the commercial nodes
For the Council's information here are several commercially developed properties in the community and
the square footage of development. We have tried to group the parcels so that they are roughly the 15 -20
acres forecast in the market study.
As previously mentioned one of staff's concerns is the changing dynamics of the market and the ability to
satisfy future community needs. This is borne out by the recent, difficult land use change the City went
through m reguiding property along Highway 42, east of Highway 3. As the Council is aware, surrounding
residential development made the change from residential to commercial along the highway less palatable
to the community From staff's standpoint it is pteferred to have too much commercial land, but formally
designated as commercial when the residential development occurs, rather than trying to "find" more
commercial land after the land use pattern m the area has been set.
FLINT HIT IS REFINERY
Flint Hills Refinery has provided written material and a proposed draft land use plan to serve as an
alternative to the one being considered It has indicated there are safety concerns for future residents,
should the City choose to guide property east of Akron for residential development. It has indicated that
its operation, as well as many of the industrial users in the east, use chemicals that could be harmful to
residents should there be a chemical release. There is also the possibility of an explosion or fire given the
type of businesses they operate. The Council discussed this issue to some extent at its workshop on July
13' 2005. Councilmember Sterner had requested more information regarding potential hazards in the area,
due to the refinery location. As stated m the meeting, staff is unaware of a parncular federal or state
standard which can be used as a guideline for separation between residential and the refinery use. Some of
the information found references a 3 -mile radius from the plant. There is no clanty as to how this 3 -mile
5
radius is measured, whether from the edge of the processing plant or from the center of the plant, and we
were unable to find any supporting documentation as to why 3 miles is used as a comparative measure.
Further it does not appear that the mformation is necessarily recommendmg a 3 mile radius but the 3 mile
radius has been used for certain studies and gathering of information..
Staff has overlaid a 1 2 and 3 -mile diameter circle from the Flint Hills refinery center and from the
southwestern boundary of the processing plant. Depending upon the figure used, residential development
proposed under the proposed plan would all be at least one mile away from the plant, with approximately
80 acres two miles away from the center of the plant. The 3 -mile radius under either scenario takes in
property on the west side of Akron Avenue, and again depending upon which center point is used,
encompasses portions of the existing Bloomfield development.
Flint Hills has also suggested that an extensive buffer from residential is more prudent and should be
considered It has indicated that some industrial activity could be included within the buffer area, but has
consistently opposed any residential development east of Akron It has indicated that some mixed
industrial and business park would be acceptable and had requested additional general industrial (its
current land use designation) be extended beyond what was in the proposed 42/52 plan. The Planning
Commission made several modifications to the Plan relating to landholdings by Flint Hills There are three
areas where changes were made: adjacent to Akron Avenue on the west side; east of Blaine Avenue and
south of 140 Street; and north of 140` Street, west of Hwy 52.
Staff does not support some of the changes recommended by the Planning Commission. In the Akron
Avenue area, the land along Akron was changed from Rural Residential to Agriculture. An additional 80
acres was changed from Urban Residential to Agnculture with two 10 -acre parcels reguided to Rural
Residential from Urban Residential. In part the basis of the change was that the property owner, Flint
Hills, indicated it has no mention to develop on these sites As has been indicated by the City Attorney,
grading the property does not require the owner to develop. The Study Group designated land on the
UMore site to ensure that the owner and residents understood what the City expected m the area, should it
develop Guiding of land adjacent to urbanized development, which will have access to upgraded public
infrastructure, is reasonable and illustrates the long -term intent of the City, should Fhnt Hills ever dispose
of this land or change its philosophy.
The other area where staff does not support the Commission's recommendation is east of Blaine, along
County Road 42 This property was mitially designated as Business Park, using the existing topography as
the northem border. The intent is that this is and will continue to be a very visible corner being located at
the intersection of County Road 42 and Flighway 52. The Business Park designation will translate into a
Busmess Park zoning that is more restrictive of outside storage and will have higher performance
standards for exterior building materials and landscaping. Given the visibility of this corner, higher quality
development should be warranted and a Business Park designation rather than Mixed Industrial would be
appropriate From a land use perspective, it is expected that both of the distracts will allow similar uses:
warehousing, distribution, light manufacturing, and office
The third area modified is north of 140 Street and extends the General Industrial approximately 70 acres
of the south from the current condiuon While staff has been hesitant to support any additional General
Industrial, there is currently 2,400 acres designated for this use. This small amount should have a negligible
impact on the overall area.
The land use proposal submitted by Flint Hills depicts potential land uses within the "buffer area Most
6
of the land owned by Flint Hills would be preserved in some manner, with trails and perhaps a regional
ponding system. The company has also indicated where an athletic complex could be sited Along
Highway 42, on land not owned by Flint Hills, it recommends industrial, business park, and commercial,
with a large swath of community green providing an east -west trail connection. As has been mdicated by
ARCON /Pemtom it may be difficult to attract commercial to the Akron Avenue area. Without more
residential development m the area, it will not be possible to attract community commercial uses to the
area Should the Council choose to delete residential uses on the east side of Akron Avenue, the proposed
commercial designation should also be abandoned
Over the course of the last several months, staff has attempted to provide some information to the
Commission regarding the stated concerns. Chief Kalstabakken has provided some information gathered
from review of other refineries m the country. Additional information gathered over the last several days
has been included in the Council's packet Some documents address specific questions asked at the
workshop, such as what is the spacing between residential and refineries m other areas of the county, while
other information is from various websites Because this is not an area staff is trained m, it is difficult to
assess the level of accuracy of the information provided. We note some of the website names, such as
Refinery Reform Campaign, which leads staff to assume there may be bias in some of the information
provided Regardless, given the research done to date and the questions asked, it does not appear that
there is an industry standard for location of residential adjacent to a refinery. It is assumed that there are
numerous vanables and that each situation is unique.
From a land use perspective, the City must determine what is reasonable what would be a reasonable
buffer to industrial uses and what makes sense given the varied, and often conflicting, goals of the City and
property owners. The City must consider the future comprehensive plan from a land use perspective and
not make decisions based upon a potential future use of the property.
COURTEAU AND FAMILY
Mary Courteau and family represent approxunately 160 acres in the Akron Avenue area. They have been
generally satisfied with the proposed land uses although have over several meetings requested two changes.
They requested that the Planning Commission designate the northern half of their eastern parcel to
Medium Density The Commission made that change at its meetmg and it is reflected in the current plan
The family has consistently indicated their support m having residential development east of Akron
Avenue.
OTHERS
Other property owners have spoken during the work sessions held by the Planning Commission.
Representatives of Vesterra Mining have indicated support for the Plan as recommended, recognizing that
the firm's Jonathan Wilmshurst was on the 42/52 Land Use Group.
Paul Curtis of Spectro Alloys representing the Pine Bend Area Industrial Group has spoken against
locating residential development east of Akron Avenue and north of 155t Street. A letter from the
organization is included in the Council packet. The group has indicated that concerns about safety and the
incompatibility between the residential and existing businesses prompt the need for the extensive buffer.
Other property owners and interested parties have spoken during work sessions and all minutes of these
discussions are attached for the Council's use.
7
MUSA
The NIUSA boundary has been modified to reflect the Planning Commission recommendations for land
use The MUSA should not contain any rural residential or agricultural uses as that would not be an
efficient and cost effective use of publicly funded infrastructure Should the Council choose to modify the
land use designattons recommended by staff, the MUSA boundary should also be altered. The proposed
MUSA is designated in the orange /black dashed line.
CONCLUSION
There have been many opportunities for public comment on the draft 42/52 plan and a lot of additional
information has been provided to the Planning Commission and subsequently the City Council after the
preliminary- recommendation by the 42/52 Land Use Group. Based upon the information, there have
been some changes made to the plan from that first recommended
Staff has indicated where there are two areas that our recommendation diverges from the Planning
Commission's. west of Akron Avenue and north of CR38, and the area east of Blaine Avenue and north of
CR 42. Should the Council wish to make those changes that should be clarified poor to adoption of the
draft resolution. If the Council requests additional information or would like to review a final plan after
directing staff to make changes, the item should be continued to the next City Council meeting
RECOMMENDATION

SFIP ID: PET MN0084
Spills Returned: 49
Data Refresh
ERNS is a "report- dnven" database, containing mostly initial notification records submitted soon after a sprit occurs, when
the caller may have incomplete information about the incident Duplication of spill records may occur if the same spill is
reported by more than one party Additional errors may be generated dung data entry of information received by phone
EPA has carefully screened the information included in this report, but the data represented here may not include all spills
that have occurred at SFIP facilities, and in some instances spills may be wrongly attributed to individual facilities For
more information on the original source of pollutant spill data presented in SFIP, please access the National Response
Center Nomepege
SFIP currently contains data on pollutant spills which occurred between June 1, 2001 and May 31, 2003

Please note Entnes in gray denote records that are not federally required to be reported to EPA These data may not be reliable.
Notice About Duration of Violations The duration of violations shown on this report is an estimate of the actual duration of the violations that might be
alleged or later determined in a legal proceeding For example, the start date of the violation as shown in the ECHO database is normally when the
government first became aware of the violation, not the first date that the violation occurred, and the facility may have corrected the violation before the
end date shown In some situations, violations may have been corrected by the facility, but EPA or the State has not verified the correction of these
violations In other situations, EPA does not remove the violation flag until an enforcement action has been resolved
This report was generated by the Integrated Data for Enforcement Analysis (IDEA) system, which updates its information from program databases
monthly The data were last updated AFS 06/11/2005 PCS 06/10/2005 RCRAInfo 06/14/2005 TRI. 06/07/2005

Notice About Duration of Violations The duration of violations shown on this report is an estimate of the actual duration of the violations that might be
alleged or later determined in a legal proceeding For example, the start date of the violation as shown in the ECHO database is normally when the
government first became aware of the violation, not the first date that the violation occurred, and the facility may have corrected the violation before the
end date shown In some situations, violations may have been corrected by the facility, but EPA or the State has not venfled the correction of these
violations In other situations, EPA does not remove the violation flag until an enforcement action has been resolved

Notice About Duration of Violations The duration of violations shown on this report is an estimate of the actual duration of the violations that might be
alleged or later determined in a legal proceeding For example, the start date of the violation as shown in the ECHO database is normally when the
government first became aware of the violation, not the first date that the violation occurred, and the facility may have corrected the violation before the
end date shown In some situations, violations may have been corrected by the facility, but EPA or the State has not verified the correction of these
violations In other situations, EPA does not remove the violation flag until an enforcement action has been resolved
This report was generated by the Integrated Data for Enforcement Analysis (IDEA) system, which updates its information from program databases

Notice About Duration of Violations The duration of violations shown on this report is an estimate of the actual duration of the violations that might be
alleged or later determined in a legal proceeding For example, Ole start date of the violation as shown in the ECHO database is normally when the
government first became aware of the violation, not the first date that the violation occurred, and the facility may have corrected the violation before the
end date shown In some situations, violations may have been corrected by the facility, but EPA or the State has not venfied the correction of these
violations In other situations, EPA does not remove the violation flag until an enforcement action has been resolved

alleged or later determined in a legal proceeding For example, Ole start date of the violation as shown in the ECHO database is normally when the
government first became aware of the violation, not the first date that the violation occurred, and the facility may have corrected the violation before the
end date shown In some situations, violations may have been corrected by the facility, but EPA or the State has not venfied the correction of these
violations In other situations, EPA does not remove the violation flag until an enforcement action has been resolved

a) Tanks and Emergency Response
Minnesota Issues at the Koch Refinery
Pollution
Control
Agency
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's
Tanks and Emergency Response Section is
requiring Koch Refinery to address soil and
ground water contamination issues at its facility
in Rosemount In general, these issues can be
broken into three areas:
cleanup of wetland petroleum seep,
cleanup of other spills at the facility, and
prevention of future leaks, spills and
overfills.
Wetlands seep
Staff from Koch discovered gasoline seeping
into a backwater wetland along the Mississippi
River on August 20, 1997 Under MPCA
oversight, Koch acted promptly and effectively
to contain this seep affects on the wetland
appear to be minimal and no petroleum is
believed to have reached the Mississippi
Important facts about this seep and its cleanup:
The seeping petroleum was identified as
aviation fuel that leaked from a tank at the
refinery in 1992.
The seep prompted the company to construct
a temporary trench to recover the gasoline
approximately 24,000 gallons of gasoline
were collected from that trench.
Investigations conducted by Koch and
MPCA staff determined that the gasoline
traveled through fractured bedrock from
refinery property to the wetlands area —a
distance of more than one mile
As a permanent remedy to this problem, the
company constructed a 2,700 -foot
interceptor trench below the bluffs of the
Mississippi that will provide a "backstop" to
January 1998
to minimize the potential for more petroleum
reaching the wetland.
Construction of the interceptor trench was
completed in November 1997.
Contaminated water collected from the
trench is piped to the refinery's wastewater
treatment plant for processing.
Cleanup of other spills at the facility
Koch has had numerous leaks and spills from
its tanks and pipelines over the years A few of
these incidents have been serious while most
have been relatively minor The cumulative
effect has had long lasting impacts.
In addition to spills, past waste disposal
practices at the refinery have also created
pockets of contamination over the years. Clean
up of these areas often consisted of collecting
petroleum wastes from the surface, but leaving
contaminated soils in place.
Some of the more recent and serious problems
include:
Floor Leaks at Tank 16, caused by corrosion,
ultimately led to the gasoline seep near the
Mississippi River. Koch has reported at
least three other floor leaks since 1992.
A recent internal inspection of Tank 133
uncovered a number of corrosion holes,
although there is no evidence that a
significant amount of product leaked from
the tank.
Koch reported leaks from underground and
aboveground piping due to corrosion or
faulty joints and valves. This includes a
major leak, estimated at 300,000 gallons,
from the refinery's barge dock pipeline m

Pnnted on recycled paper containing at least 20 percent fibers from paper recycled by consumers
Legislative Update, Koch Refinery, January 1998
1985 Also, a portion of a pipeline on the refinery's
west side was recently discovered to have leaked.
Overfills of aboveground and underground storage
tanks including overfilling of Tank 23 twice in 1975,
and Tank 3 in 1991 and 1992, resulted in spills of
from 30,000 to 75,000 gallons of fuel oil and crude
oil.
Koch's consultants and staff believed that ground water
in the refinery area moved slowly towards the
Mississippi River. Based on the information available
at that time about the geology of the area, MPCA staff
had no reason to dispute this belief.
As a result, MPCA staff were working toward
committing Koch to a comprehensive, multi -year
investigation and cleanup to deal with recent and
historic contamination on the refinery property. This
effort began in 1993 after the MPCA realized that many
petroleum- contaminated sites needed oversight.
Unfortunately, the understanding of ground water flow
in the refinery area was incorrect as evidenced by the
recently discovered wetlands seep. With this new
information in hand, MPCA staff instructed the refinery
to greatly accelerate the investigation and cleanup on
and near its property.
Clean up measures will include pumping and treating
petroleum contaminated ground water, and
petroleum vapor extraction from soil and ground
water.
The MPCA now has Koch's commitment to an
accelerated schedule to clean up contamination at the
refinery and protect surface and ground water
resources. The commitment calls for cleanup to
begin at each of the areas now known to be
contaminated by January 1999.
Clean up will begin at several high priority areas by
March 1998
In February 1998, the MPCA and Koch will begin
negotiating an enforceable stipulation agreement that
will require Koch to fulfill its commitment to the
accelerated cleanup. The stipulation agreement will
include a penalty to Koch Refining Company.
Page 2
MPCA staff will continue to work with Koch to ensure
appropriate responses to any spills that may occur in the
future
Prevention of future Teaks, spills and overfills
As mentioned previously, many leaks and spills have
been reported at the refinery in recent years, As part of
its Aboveground Storage Tank Program, the MPCA will
soon issue a permit that comprehensively covers
prevention, detection and containment of spills and
leaks from the aboveground tanks and associated piping
at the Koch Refinery.
This MPCA permit for Koch will require:
Conducting detailed inspections inside and outside of
all tanks at planned intervals to look for evidence of
corrosion and construction flaws.
Installing a second layer of leak protection for light
oil and chemical tank floors, such as an internal floor
coating or installing a clay liner under the tank
floors.
For tanks that rest directly on the ground, installing
cathodic protection to control or prevent floor
corrosion problems.
Installing electronic gauging and overfill alarms on
all tanks to prevent accidental overfilling of tanks.
Testing the permeability of tank basins to determine
if they can effectively hold product that escapes
from the tank, and increasing the impermeability
where warranted,
Implementing a testing and upgrading program for
underground piping associated with tanks This
requirement will be fulfilled by raising the piping
above ground.
Koch has begun implementing some of these tank
management practices for a number of tanks at the
facility. The permit for the facility, scheduled to be
issued by February 1, 1998, will require that all other
tanks be managed in this fashion.

Overview of enforcement action with:
Koch Refining Company, L.P.
On April 2, 1998, the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency announced the settlement of a multi -media
consent decree with the Koch Refining Company. The
recent settlement encompasses two enforcement
actions, one of which is related to consent decree
dating back to 1989. This fact sheet provides a brief
overview of the alleged violations as well as the
corrective actions Koch has committed to making to
rectify these problems.
1989 consent decree
Consent decree signed by Koch, the MPCA, the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Citizens
for a Better Environment and the Atlantic States
Legal Foundation.
Consent decree set predetermined penalty amounts
for violations of the company's NPDES permit
(National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
permit), which includes the company's wastewater
treatment system
Koch employees alert MPCA staff to problems the
company was having with its wastewater treatment
system in the April 1997.
MPCA staff begins investigation which lasts until
December 1997.
Penalty for violations in consent decree calculated
to be $3.2 million 70 percent goes to EPA, 30
percent to MPCA.
1998 consent decree and corrective actions
The new consent decree covers alleged air quality,
water quality, hazardous waste and storage tank
violations.
Alleged air quality violations

programs.
Alleged tank and emergency response violations
Failed to have adequate safeguards to hold product
that leaked from tanks.
Failed to take reasonable steps to prevent leaks of
product from tanks and piping.
Failed to recover as rapidly and thoroughly as
possible leaks from tanks and piping.
Tank and emergency response corrective
actions
Many of the corrective actions needed to address
these alleged violations are addressed through the
aboveground storage tank permit recently issued to
Koch Refinery. A separate fact sheet is available that
explains the requirements of this permit.
Other corrective actions include:
page 2
Complete an in depth investigation of all areas
where leaks and spills are known to have occurred
Begin interim cleanup activities simultaneous with
investigation.
Determine the location and nature of the geologic
structure that allowed petroleum to seep into the
backwater of the Mississippi River.
Develop a long -term cleanup plan to address all
areas of contamination on refinery property.
Monetary penalty
Monetary penalty associated with the 1998
consent decree is $3.7 million
$2.1 million goes to the MPCA.
$1.1 million will be devoted to Supplemental
Environmental Projects.
Remaining $500,000 will be placed in a trust fund
and portions refunded to Koch if tank and piping
upgrades are completed ahead of schedule.
Additional requirements
Consent decree contains preset penalties if
company does not complete work agreed to, if
there are delays in completing the work or if the
company fails to make timely submittals.
If Koch considers any new projects that generate
wastewater (including any project linked to Koch's
Title V air permit), it must certify that the
wastewater treatment system has the capacity to
carry and treat the additional load. Certification

The proposed issuance of an aboveground storage tank major facility permit for:
Koch Refining Company, L.P.
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has
drafted an Aboveground Storage Tank (AST) permit for
the Koch Refining Company in Rosemount, Minnesota.
The intent of this permit is to prevent pollution of
surface and ground water that could be caused by leaks
and spills of liquids from ASTs and pipelines used at
the facility. This can be achieved by implementing a
comprehensive set of spill prevention, detection, and
containment measures.
Facility description
Koch's refinery complex in Rosemount, Minn., has the
capacity to process more than 280,000 barrels of crude
oil every day. In addition to the processing facilities,
there are crude oil and product storage tanks,
wastewater treatment facilities, and facilities for
managing solid wastes and refinery by- products. The
refinery is self contained with its own internal services,
roads, industrial water production wells, storm and
process water sewers, fire fighting facilities and most
utilities needed to operate the refinery.
Koch produces the following at the Rosemount
refinery: motor gasoline, aviation gasoline, let fuels,
diesel fuels, fuel oils, asphalt, petroleum coke, sulfur,
liquid petroleum gas, butane and carbon dioxide. The
crude oil needed to produce these items is received via
pipeline and finished products are distributed by
pipeline, barge, tanker truck and rail.
Crude oil, mtermediate and final petroleum products,
chemicals, and wastewater are stored at the facility in
ASTs of up to 22 million gallons capacity.
Items covered by the AST permit
The permit applies to all ASTs at the refinery with a
capacity of more than 1,100 gallons (other than indoor
tanks) and most above and underground piping
associated with tanks In addition to maintaining its
current tank management program, some of the more
notable conditions of this permit will require Koch to
Printed on recycled paper containing at least 20% fibers from paper recycled by consumers

Conduct detailed inspections of all tanks and
associated aboveground piping at planned intervals
to look for evidence of corrosion and construction
flaws. This includes daily visual inspection of the
outside of all tanks greater than 100,000 gallons, and
comprehensive internal inspections for all tanks at
scheduled intervals of 8 to 15 years. Aboveground
piping will receive an annual visual inspection.
Personnel will also be trained to spot and report
leaks.
Install a second layer of leak protection and
corrosion prevention for light oil, chemical and
wastewater tank floors, specifically an internal floor
coating. All tanks not already upgraded in this
fashion will receive a second layer of leak protection
when next taken out of service for internal
inspection.
Conduct an annual tank leak test on all tanks that do
not have an internal floor coating, are not scheduled
for an internal inspection within one year after the
permit is issued, and do not rest on a concrete pad
The leak testing and floor coating requirements do
not apply to tanks used for stonng asphalt, roofing
flux, or other heavy oils.
For tanks with a capacity of 100,000 gallons or more
that rest directly on the ground, install cathodic
protection systems to control or prevent external
floor corrosion problems. Installation and activation
of these cathodic protection systems will be
completed within seven years of the date the permit
is issued.
Ca) Hazardous Waste Division
Tanks and Emergency Response Section
Install remote readout electronic gauging and
overfill alarms on all larger tanks to prevent
accidental overfilling of tanks. Most tanks at the
refinery are already equipped with remote gauging
and overfill alarms. The permit will require all tanks
to be equipped as such.
Test the hydrostatic permeability of native soil tank
basins and dikes to determine if they can effectively
hold product that escapes from the tank, and increase
the impermeability where warranted. All testing
will be completed within 60 days of the date the
permit is issued.
Implement a leak testing and upgrading program for
underground piping associated with tanks. The
refinery has proposed to meet this requirement by
raising most piping above ground. The ten highest
priority underground lines will be raised within two
years of permit issuance, the remaining long -run line
segments within four years, and various short piping
runs (e.g. road crossings) within seven years.
Underground lines will be leak tested by
December 31, 1999.
Other requirements in the proposed permit relate to
security, lightning protection, personnel training,
preventative maintenance, and tank repair.
MPCA permits
Minnesota facilities whose activities have the potential
to affect the environment must obtain MPCA permits
for those activities. Permit conditions require operation
and maintenance of the facility in a manner that
protects human health and the environment.
Facilities must meet the terms and conditions of their
permits. To ensure that they do so, the MPCA regularly
inspects facilities and takes appropriate action,
including monetary penalties, if it finds that a facility is
violating permit terms.
The MPCA has developed this permit through an
innovative, collaborative process with the permittee.
No state or federal law requires an AST permit to be
placed on public notice before being issued. However,
because of the size and complexity of the refinery,
Koch management asked that this permit be made
available for public comment prior to its issuance, and
the MPCA concurs with this approach.

Executive Summary
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE PREVENTION AND RESPONSE POLICIES
Koch Petroleum Group L.P. "Koch is owner and operator of a petroleum
refinery in Rosemount, Minnesota (the "Refinery At Koch, safety is
more than a priority. It is a value. While priorities may change from
time to time, a value defines who you are and what you believe in.
Kochs refinery has made a commitment to worker and public safety. Our
vision is to be recognized as a leader for safe operations ensuring the
health and safety of employees, contractors, customers, and neighbors.
Our first priority is prevention. This priority is demonstrated by the
resources invested in accident prevention. These include designing and
constructing our equipment to meet stringent, nationally recognized
standards of performance. We operate and maintain our equipment to
ensure reliability, which also serves as a measure of how safe an
operation is. We train our employees to recognize the importance of
safety and to incorporate safety as a value, both at work and at home.
In the event that a release does occur, our trained personnel will
respond to, control, and contain the release. We have some of the best
trained, best equipped emergency responders in the country. Our
emergency responders train regularly, not only at the facility but at
internationally known training centers. We train, not just internally,
but with our mutual aid partners local emergency responders, on a
regular basis as well. Our goal is to have the best trained, best
equipped emergency response capability that is never used, except to
drill.
DESCRIPTION OF THE STATIONARY SOURCE AND REGULATED SUBSTANCES
The Koch refinery operates a variety of processes to produce some of
the cleanest petroleum fuel products in the nation, including all
grades of gasoline, diesel fuel, liquefied petroleum gas, and jet fuel,
from crude oil. The refinery also produces a number of other
byproducts including food grade carbon dioxide, sulfur, asphalt and
petroleum coke. The refinery has several regulated flammables, such as
propane and butane.
The refinery has reduced its inventory of regulated toxic chemicals,
specifically reducing our inventory of chlorine and ammonia, to make
the refinery a safer place to work and a better neighbor in our
community. As a result, no toxic chemicals are reportable for the RMP.
HAZARD ASSESSMENT RESULTS
The worst -case scenario (WCS) associated with a release of flammable
substances in Program 3 processes at the refinery is a vapor cloud
explosion (VCE) involving the full inventory of a sphere containing
normal butane (n- butane). If the full tank inventory of 5.1 million
pounds is assumed to release, completely vaporize, and ignite,
resulting in a VCE, the maximum distance to the 1 -psi endpoint for this
WCS is 1.4 miles. A smaller n- butane sphere at the refinery is located
closer to the fence -line than the sphere identified above The WCS
maximum distance to the 1 -psi endpoint is 1.2 miles, which stretches
approximately 700 feet further in one direction than the WCS distance
for the butane sphere described above. For this reason, two worst -case
release scenarios have been submitted for Program 3 flammable processes
at the refinery. Although we have numerous controls to prevent such
releases and to manage their consequences, no credit for mitigation
measures is taken into
account in evaluating the two worst -case scenarios. The maximum
distances to endpoint are calculated using EPA's Offsite Consequence
Analysis Guidance.
The alternative release scenario (ARS) for flammable substances at the
refinery is a VCE resulting from the release of propane from a tank as
a result of an overfill (24,000 lb released over a 10- minute period).
The release is expected to be isolated by the operators within 10
minutes. The maximum distance to the 1 -psi endpoint for this event
could be as far as 0.14 miles. The maximum distance to endpoint is
calculated using EPA's Offsite Consequence Analysis Guidance and its
assumptions for VCE alternative release scenarios (flash fraction
factor for propane of 0.38 and TNT yield factor of 3 This event was
selected as being a practical scenario for use in emergency planning
and response.
Several processes at the refinery are determined to be Program 1. The
WCS for these Program 1 processes is a VCE involving the full inventory
of the largest vessel containing a mixture of regulated flammable
substances. If the full tank inventory in each covered process is
assumed to release, completely vaporize, and ignite, resulting in a
VCE, the maximum distance to the 1 -psi endpoint for each Program 1
worst -case release scenario does not reach a public receptor. No
mitigation measures were taken into account in evaluating the worst
case scenarios. Please note that no Program 2 processes exist at the
refinery.
FIVE -YEAR ACCIDENT HISTORY
Koch has an excellent record of accident prevention. Over the past 5
years, no accidental releases have resulted in off -site impacts or on-
site injuries or deaths. Only one release, that occurred in 1997,
resulted in significant damage to equipment. This release involved a
flash fire at a heater. Appropriate actions have been taken to prevent
an incident similar to this accident. We investigate every incident
very carefully to determine ways to prevent similar incidents from
occurring.
GENERAL ACCIDENTAL RELEASE PREVENTION PROGRAM STEPS
The following is a summary of the accident prevention program in place
at Koch. Because Program 3 processes at the refinery that are
regulated by the EPA RMP regulation are also subject to the OSHA PSM
standard, this summary addresses each of the OSHA PSM elements and
describes the management system in place to implement the accident
prevention program.
Employee Participation
Koch encourages employees to participate in all facets of process
safety management and accident prevention. Examples of employee
participation range from updating and compiling technical documents and
chemical information to participating as a member of a process hazard
analysis (PHA) team. Employees have access to all information created
as part of the refinery accident prevention program. Specific ways
that employees can be involved in the accident prevention program are
documented in an employee participation plan that is maintained at the
refinery and addresses each accident prevention program element. In
addition, the refinery has a number of initiatives under way that
address process safety and employee safety issues. These initiatives
include Total Safety Culture to promote both process and personal
safety.
Process Safety Information
Koch has available technical documents that are needed to maintain safe
operation of the refinery. These documents address chemical properties
and associated hazards, limits for key process parameters and specific
chemical inventories, and equipment design basis /configuration
information. Specific departments within the refinery are assigned
responsibility for maintaining up -to -date process safety information.
A table summarizing the reference documents and their location is
readily available as part of the written employee participation plan to
help employees locate any necessary process safety information.
Chemical- specific information, including exposure hazards and emergency
response/ exposure treatment considerations, is provided in material
safety data sheets (MSDSs). This information is supplemented by
documents that specifically address known hazards associated with
handling and exposure to the chemicals. The refinery has documented
safety related limits for specific process parameters (e.g.,
temperature, level, composition, flow, pressure) in a Key Process
Parameter Document. The refinery ensures that the process is
maintained within these limits using process controls and monitoring
instruments, highly trained personnel, and protective instrument
systems (e.g., automated shutdown systems).
The refinery also maintains numerous other technical documents that
provide information about the design and construction of process
equipment. This information includes materials of construction, design
pressure and temperature ratings, electrical rating of equipment, etc.
This information, in combination with written procedures and trained
personnel, provides a basis for establishing inspection and maintenance
activities, as well as for evaluating proposed process and facility
changes to ensure that safety features in the process are not
compromised.
Process Hazard Analysis
Koch has a comprehensive program to help ensure that hazards associated
with the various processes are identified and controlled. Within this
program, each process is systematically examined on a regular basis to
identify hazards and ensure that adequate controls are in place to
manage these hazards.
Koch primarily uses the hazard and operability (HAZOP) technique to
perform these evaluations. HAZOP analysis is recognized as one of the
most systematic and thorough hazard evaluation techniques. The
analyses are conducted using a team of people who have operating and
maintenance experience as well as engineering expertise. This team
identifies and evaluates hazards of the process as well as accident
prevention and mitigation measures, and makes suggestions for
additional prevention and /or mitigation measures when the team believes
such measures are necessary.
If ways are found to make processes safer, all appropriate individuals,
including corporate management, are involved in implementing the
improvements. Koch tackles those changes which can have the greatest
impact on safety first. All recommendations for improvement are
tracked, to be sure that they are implemented in a timely manner. The
final resolution of each finding is documented and retained.
Koch periodically updates and revalidates the hazard analysis results.
These periodic reviews are conducted at least every 5 years until the
process is no longer operating. Both the HAZOP, and the What -If,
Checklist technique are utilized during the Hazard Analysis
Revalidation process. The results and findings from these updates are
documented and retained. Once again, the team findings are forwarded
to management for implementation and the final resolution of the
findings is documented and retained.
Operating Procedures
Koch maintains written procedures that address all modes of process
operations, including (1) unit startup, (2) normal operations, (3)
temporary operations, (4) emergency shutdown, (5) normal shutdown, and
(6) initial startup of a new process. These procedures can be used as
a reference by experienced operators and provide consistent training of
new operators. These procedures are periodically reviewed and
certified as current and accurate
In addition, Koch maintains a Key Process Parameter Document that
provides guidance on how to respond to upper or lower limit exceedances
for specific process or equipment parameters. This information, along
with written operating procedures, is readily available to operators in
the process unit and for other personnel to use as necessary to safely
perform their jobs.
Training
To complement the written procedures for process operations, Koch has
implemented a comprehensive training program for all employees involved
in operating a process. New employees receive basic training in
refinery operations. After successfully completing this training, a
new operator is paired with a senior operator to learn process- specific
duties and tasks. After operators demonstrate through tests, skills
demonstration and other methods that they have adequate knowledge to
perform the duties and tasks in a safe manner on their own, they are
allowed to work independently. In addition, all operators receive
refresher training on the operating procedures to ensure that their
skills and knowledge are maintained at the highest level. All training
is documented for each operator, including the means used to verify
that the operator understood the training.
Contractors
Koch uses contractors to supplement its workforce as part of routine
practices and during periods of increased maintenance or construction
activities. Because some contractors work on or near process
equipment, the refinery has procedures in place to ensure that
contractors (1) perform their work in a safe manner, (2) have the
appropriate knowledge and skills, (3) are aware of the hazards in their
workplace, (4) understand what they should do in the event of an
emergency, (5) understand and follow site safety rules, and (6) inform
refinery personnel of any hazards that they find during their work.
This is accomplished by providing contractors with (1) a process
overview, (2) information about safety and health hazards, (3)
emergency response plan requirements, and (4) safe work practices prior
to their beginning work. In addition, Koch evaluates contractor safety
programs and performance during the selection of a contractor.
Refinery personnel periodically monitor contracto!
r performance to ensure that contractors are fulfilling their safety
obligations.
startup Safety Reviews (PSSRs)
Koch conducts a PSSR for any new facility or facility modification that
requires a change in the process safety information. The purpose of
the PSSR is to ensure that safety features, procedures, personnel, and
the equipment are appropriately prepared for startup prior to placing
the equipment into service. This review provides one additional check
to make sure construction is in accordance with the design
specifications and that all supporting systems are operationally ready.
The PSSR review team uses checklists to verify all aspects of
readiness. A PSSR involves field verification of the construction and
serves a quality assurance function by requiring verification that
accident prevention program requirements are properly implemented.
Mechanical Integrity
Koch has well established practices and procedures to maintain pressure
vessels, piping systems, relief and vent systems, controls, pumps and
compressors, and emergency shutdown systems in a safe operating
condition. This program includes: (1) training, (2) written
procedures, (3) regular inspections and tests, (4) correcting
identified deficiencies, and (5) applying quality assurance measures.
In combination, these activities form a system that reliably maintains
the mechanical integrity of the process equipment.
Maintenance personnel receive training on (1) an overview of the
process, (2) safety and health hazards, (3) applicable maintenance
procedures, (4) emergency response plans, and (5) applicable safe work
practices to help ensure that they can perform their job in a safe
manner Written procedures help ensure that work is performed in a
consistent manner and provide a basis for training. Inspections and
tests are performed to help ensure that equipment functions as
intended, and to verify that equipment is within acceptable limits
(e.g., adequate wall thickness for pressure vessels). If a deficiency
is identified, employees will correct the deficiency before placing the
equipment back into service, or an MOC team will review the use of the
equipment and determine what actions are necessary to ensure the safe
operation of the equipment.
Another integral part of the mechanical integrity program is quality
assurance. Koch incorporates quality assurance measures into equipment
purchases and repairs. This helps ensure that new equipment is
suitable for its intended use and that proper materials and spare parts
are used when repairs are made.
Safe Work Practices
Koch has safe work practices in place to help ensure worker and process
safety. Examples of these include (1) Security control and badge
reader systems that regulate the entrance presence and exit of support
personnel, (2) a work permit procedure, all work performed in the
process area is to be performed under the direction of a work permit,
lockout /tagout procedure is an integral part of the work permit to
ensure isolation of energy sources for equipment undergoing
maintenance, (3) a procedure for safe removal of hazardous materials
before process piping or equipment is opened, (4) a permit and
procedure to control spark producing activities (i.e., hot work), and
(5) a permit and procedure to ensure that adequate precautions are in
place before entry into a confined space. These procedures (and
others), along with training of affected personnel, form a system to
help ensure that operations and maintenance activities are performed
safely.
Management of Change
Koch has a comprehensive computerized system to manage changes to
processes. This system requires that changes to process equipment,
chemicals, technology (including process operating conditions),
procedures, and other facility changes are properly reviewed and
authorized before being implemented. Changes are reviewed to (1)
ensure that adequate controls are in place to manage any new hazards,
and (2) verify that existing controls have not been compromised by the
change. Affected chemical hazard information, process operating
limits, and equipment information, as well as procedures, are updated
to incorporate these changes. In addition, operating and maintenance
personnel are provided any necessary training on the change.
Incident Investigation
Koch promptly investigates all incidents that result in, or could
result in, a fire /explosion, toxic gas release, major property damage,
environmental impact, or personal injury. The goal of each
investigation is to determine the facts and develop corrective actions
to prevent a recurrence of the incident or a similar incident. The
investigation team documents its findings, develops recommendations to
prevent a recurrence, and forwards these results to refinery management
for resolution. Corrective actions taken in response to the
investigation team's findings and recommendations are tracked until
they are complete. The final resolution of each finding or
recommendation is documented, and the investigation results are
reviewed with all employees (including contractors) who could be
affected by the findings. Incident investigation reports are retained
for at least 5 years so that the reports can be reviewed during future
PHAs and PHA revalidations.
Compliance Audits
To help ensure that the accident prevention program is functioning
properly, Koch periodically conducts an audit to determine whether the
procedures and practices required by the accident prevention program
are being implemented. Compliance audits are conducted at least every
3 years. The audit team typically is an independent, autonomous group,
and contains at least one or more individuals knowledgeable in the
process being audited. The audit team develops findings that are
forwarded to refinery management for resolution. Corrective actions
taken in response to the audit team's findings are tracked until they
are complete. The final resolution of each finding is documented, and
the two most recent audit reports are retained.
CHEMICAL SPECIFIC PREVENTION STEPS
The processes at Koch have potential hazards that must be managed to
ensure continued safe operation. The accident prevention program
summarized previously is applied to all Program 3 EPA RMP- covered
processes at the refinery. Collectively, these prevention program
activities help prevent potential accident scenarios that could be
caused by (1) equipment failures and (2) human errors.
In addition to the accident prevention program activities, the refinery
has safety features on many units to help (1) contain /control a
release, (2) quickly detect a release, and (3) reduce the consequences
of (mitigate) a release. The following types of safety features are
used where appropriate throughout the refinery:
Release Detection
1. Hydrocarbon or Hydrogen Sulfide detectors with alarms
Release Containment /Control
1. Process relief valves that discharge to a flare system equipped with
a flare gas recovery unit to capture episodic releases
2. Valves to permit isolation of the process (manual or automated)
3. Automated shutdown systems for specific process parameters (e.g.,
high level, high temperature)
4. Curbing or diking to contain liquid releases
5. Redundant equipment and instrumentation (e.g., uninterruptible power
supply for process control system, backup firewater pump)
6. Atmospheric relief devices
Release Mitigation
1. Fire suppression and extinguishing systems
2. Deluge system for specific equipment
3. Trained emergency response personnel
4. Personal protective equipment (e.g., protective clothing, self
contained breathing
apparatus)
5. Blast- resistant buildings to help protect control systems and
personnel
EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROGRAM INFORMATION
Koch maintains a written emergency response program to protect worker
and public safety as well as the environment. The program consists of
procedures for responding to a release of a regulated substance,
including the possibility of a fire or explosion if a flammable
substance is accidentally released. The procedures address all aspects
of emergency response, including proper first -aid and medical treatment
for exposures, evacuation plans and accounting for personnel after an
evacuation, notification of local emergency response agencies and the
public if a release occurs, and post incident cleanup and
decontamination requirements. In addition, Koch has procedures that
address maintenance, inspection, and testing of emergency response
equipment, as well as instructions that address the use of emergency
response equipment. Employees receive training in these procedures as
necessary to perform their specific emergency response duties. The
emergency response program is updated
when necessary based on modifications made to refinery processes or
other refinery facilities.
The emergency response program for the refinery is coordinated with the
Dakota County Public Safety Department. This coordination includes
periodic meetings of the committee, which includes local emergency
response officials, local government officials, and industry
representatives. Koch has around the -clock communications capability
with emergency response organizations (e.g., fire department), who
provide the means of notifying the public of an incident, if necessary,
as well as facilitating quick response. The refinery provides annual
refresher training to local emergency responders regarding the hazards
of regulated substances in the refinery. Koch conducts regular
emergency drills that involve the Dakota County Public Safety
Department and emergency response organizations throughout the county
and the southeast metropolitan area.
PLANNED CHANGES TO IMPROVE SAFETY
Diligent compliance with our Risk Management Program forms the
framework in which we will continue to improve the level of safety at
Kochs Pine Bend Refinery. Some of the key components of the safety
improvements we expect to achieve are as follows:
The Management of Change provisions ensure that we consider the
potential safety and health impacts of any change we make to process
chemicals, technology, equipment or procedures.
The Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) provisions serve as a tool to
ensure continual evaluation of potential hazards, thereby leading to
continual improvements in our safety standards.
The Mechanical Integrity provisions ensure that process equipment and
instrumentation are designed, constructed, installed and maintained to
minimize the risk of hazardous releases, thereby serving as an integral
part of our safety program.
Compliance audits will ensure we maintain and increase our level of
safety protection.
An ongoing dialogue with the Dakota County Emergency Management
Coordinator, or his /her designate, and local emergency response
providers will ensure a constant state of readiness to respond to any
potential emergencies, as well as a means to implement improvements as
the need develops. In this way, we shall bolster our strong commitment
to the safety of our workers and the community.
We encourage all interested citizens or community organizations to
contact the Dakota County Emergency Management Coordinator for the
latest information on emergency response for the county We plan to
continue to diligently integrate our response capabilities and
personnel with those of the county on an ongoing basis.

No reliable records on
refinery accidents
Petrochemical industry doesn't know if its
level of safety is improving
By TOM FOWLER

If carmakers want to
know how many
highway accidents there
were last year, they can
turn to the Department
of Transportation's
fatality reporting
system.
If airlines want to count
plane crashes, they turn
to the National
Transportation Safety
Board's incident
database.
But if the chemical and
petrochemical
industnes want to count
the number of accidents
at their plants every
year, there's no one
good place to turn.
More than a half -dozen
government databases
collect some nugget of
information relevant to
the safety of the
chemical and
petrochemical
industnes, but there's
no one definitive source

The Environmental Protection Agency collects detailed
accident data from 15,000 of the largest industrial
operations in the country, but that information only
comes in once every five years and excludes thousands
of other businesses.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration
counts the number of people injured or killed on work
sites, but only if more than three people are
hospitalized.
While individual companies track safety at their own
plants, some observers say this lack of uniform data
or even a uniform descnption of what constitutes a
chemical accident leaves the industry without a
good way to measure its performance and learn from its
mistakes.

"As an analyst I always want
more data, but the regulatory
process prevents us from asking
for more and more," said James
Belke, an environmental
engineer with the EPA who
specializes in safety issues. "It's
hard to know where to draw the
line. We stop the list of
chemicals we regulate at 140,
but the 141st is still pretty
important."
OSHA collects data from all
manner of workplaces, from
some slip -and -fall incidents at
fast -food restaurants to deaths
at oil refinenes. But not every
incident classifies as reportable
under OSHA guidelines. For
example, if someone is injured
but doesn't miss work, it's not
reportable.
Using OSHA data to track a
particular industry's safety
record can be difficult, too. For
example, the 15 contractors
who died at BPs Texas City
refinery accident last month
may not show up as fatalities in
the refining industry but rather
the construction industry, since
their employers are likely
classified as construction firms.
The National Response Center's
Incident Reporting Information
System collects reports related
to any release of a chemical
substance into the environment.
But the data reported to the
system ranges from the spill of
a single gallon of a chemical on
a factory floor to major oil
spills, and even includes false
alarms, duplicate reports of the
same incident and practice

The EPA's Risk Management
Reports database has promise
as a data source, but those
reports only collect data from
15,000 of the largest industrial
facilities, a small slice of the
total number in the country that
The Risk Management Reports are also only filed by
companies once every five years, or within six months
after an accident at a facility.
Belke said the EPA is still analyzing the results from
the most recent wave of reports, filed late in 2004. A
preliminary analysis shows a decrease m the number of
incidents, but it's not known why the number went
down or how severe the reported incidents were.
Pam Kaster, a community activist in Baton Rouge, La.,
has worked with government agencies for years to
address chemical safety and said she was surpnsed at
how difficult it is to get a clear picture.
"I always thought 'safety is safety' and you could just
measure it," said Kaster. "But I was amazed by how
different all the databases are and how incompatible."
Kaster has chosen to focus on a component of the
safety issue toxic chemical releases and emissions
in part because Louisiana has started to track that
issue through the federal Hazardous Substances
Emergency Events Surveillance system. That system
has limitations as a national tool, however, since not all
states use it.
The American Chemistry Council has tried to answer
the safety question by collecting OSHA related health
and safety data on its member companies as part of its
Responsible Care program Beginning in May it will
have companies include the results of contractors
working on their sites in the data as well, which will be
available online.
Program getting more teeth
Terry Yosie, vice president of the Responsible Care
program, said the council is putting more teeth in the
program by requiring a third -party audit of member
companies' safety programs at both their headquarters
and plant sites. Results of some of those audits won't be
a regular part of ACC's online data until December,

with the full range of data not available until 2007.
There is one industry database that was created
explicitly as a learning tool for the industry. The Center
for Chemical Process Safety started its Process Safety
Incident Database in 1995 as a way for its member
companies to share specific details of accidents This
includes descnptions of what pieces of equipment
failed and what procedures and practices led to the
problem.
"It's a way to learn from specific incidents instead of
just statistics," said Scott Berger, director of the center.
The database isn't open to nonmembers, but the center
does put out a monthly newsletter that takes a particular
incident and shares the lessons learned.
Berger noted the database did not contain instances
where the locations of office trailers were mentioned as
a problem, however. Trailer placement is an issue
being considered in the investigations of BP's Texas
City explosion.
There have been efforts to compile the many databases
into a usable report card in the past, but the results have
been mixed.
In the early days of its formation the Chemical Safety
and Hazard Investigation Board tried to create a
baseline to use in tracking accidents, but the differences
in the data sources and the agency's small budget led it
to discontinue the effort.
"Our experience has been it's not practical to unite the
vanous databases that exist because of data quality
problems and differences in how they're compiled,"
said Daniel Horowitz, director of the office of public
affairs for the CSB.
Texas A &M's Mannan received a $500,000 grant in
2000 to study the problem, but funding was cut off
after the Sept. 11, 2001, terronst attacks.
The A &M study concluded that while there were
deficiencies in the databases, a Web -based system
could pull key information from the different sources to
create a useful report card for the industry.
Mannan believes that could be achieved for a modest
sum about $500,000 per year.

"Given the amount of money the government already
spends on accumulating all this data, to not use it for
some reasonable trending analysis is pretty goofy,"
Mannan said.

Re Case Study 05 -27 -CP 42/52 Corridor Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Arcon Development, Inc. and The Pemtom Land Company acquired the properties on
County Road 42 and Akron previously owned by the Wiederhold/McCarthy family and
the J McNamara properties over the past few years based on the city's existing
Comprehensive Plan for predominantly residential use Both of our companies have
extensive histories dating back to the 1960's in developing some of the most creative
residential neighborhoods in the Metropolitan area. We also understood the planning and
development of this property would take place over a number of years
You are well aware that we were, and still are, extremely concerned with the proposed
change of the Comprehensive Plan in this area The original plans are a significant
change from residential to commercial and high- density housing
We know that the City of Rosemount needs to look long term to accommodate all of the
land uses that are necessary for future growth Your town is unique in that it is anchored
with a strong central core and a C R 42/Highway 3 corridor that is a southerly extension
of your central core
You also have a major transportation corridor to the east consisting of C. R 42, Highway
52 and Highway 55 You have a strong commercial /retaiUoffice market located to the
west of you in the City of Apple Valley on C R 42 and Cedar We feel that these three
major areas in Apple Valley, your Highway 3/C R 42 corridor, and the 52/55/42 corridor
will dominate, due to traffic and rooftops, the commercial and retail market
To determine the market demand for this property, we contracted with the McComb
Group, Ltd to do a market analysis of the property We contacted many of the major
commercial contractors and users during the past week to get the forecast data they use
from Dakota County, the Metropolitan Council and the City of Rosemount to determine
Kim Lindquist
July 7, 2005
Page 2
which areas of the city would best accommodate the type of uses being proposed in your
above referenced Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the C R 42 /Akron area.
It is clear that the original plan proposed by the city greatly overstates the future need for
commercial/retail in the C.R.42 /Akron area
Subsequent to the Planning Commission meeting on Tuesday, June 28, 2005, you
indicated a concurrence with the conclusions that are being drawn and you suggested we
prepare a proposal for the intersection and reference
Attached is a plan that we believe meets many of the needs outlined in your
Comprehensive Plan It reflects a reduction in the commercial and high density land use
quantities based on all of the data we have accumulated from the Metropolitan Council,
Dakota County, and the City of Rosemount as well as distinct feedback from prospective
developers and users.
Our new plan, which we trust will be acceptable to you, contains approximately 11 acres
of commercial on the northwest corner of C.R 42 /Akron and provides buffering for mid
density housing and moves northwesterly to low- density housing. We are suggesting a
maximum of 28 acres of commercial at the northeast intersection for a total of 39 acres.
We would buffer our larger east commercial area with high- density housing of
approximately 12 acres and mid density housing of approximately 31 acres. You will
note that this intersection is constrained not only with topography issues to the north, but
also three criss crossing easements for sanitary sewer and gas mains.
Please review the attached plan and call me after you have had an opportunity to study it.
I would like to meet with you and representatives of Akron to reach a concurrence on the
plan in advance of the City Council meeting. This is based on your suggestion after the
Planning Commission meeting.
The only way our two companies can be involved in development scenarios that will
involve substantial road improvements and assessments scheduled for 2007, will be to
have a substantial area of low and mid density housing since no market exists for high
density and commercial uses at the present time
We would like to partner with you on this plan and the future growth for the City of
Rosemount commencing in 2007
For your reference, I am also enclosing an article you may have read called In

Institute It reiterates the point I was making at my presentation to the Planning
Commission, that excessive retail zoning and overbuilding of commercial strips in areas
where the market was not there to support it on a long term basis causes significant
issues Burnsville is presently experiencing this and is trying to reinvent the Highway 13
area bounded by Nicollet, Parkwood, and the Burnsville Crosstown.
I have also include an article titled Heart of the City from Burnsville that indicates how
the entire community and the city had to become involved to reinvent that area of
Burnsville.

RE: Official comments for the public record with respect to input from Landowners and
concerned citizens on the proposed land use changes within the 42/52 -study area. Pubhc
Hearing held at the Rosemount City Hall 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 28, 2005.
Co Owner PID# "s: 34 02200 013 60 34 02200 013 50 (86 58 Total Acres)
These parcels are located between Centex's Meadows of Bloomfield on the west, Akron
Avenue on the east. County Road 38 on our north and the railroad tracks on the south
Dear Planning Commission Members:
We would like to commend all those who have contributed considerable time and effort
in working on this plan The City's need to have a well thought out comprehensive land
use plan that allows for orderly and logical extension of utilities and roadways is vital for
our communities' future.
However, it is with great concern that we would like-to voice our apprehension about the
apparent impasse between Arcon Development Inc., and the City with respect to the
amount of proposed commercial development on the comer of Akron Ave County
Road 42. This disagreement, if it continues, could delay the extension of the sewer
trunk line northward through the disputed area. If this continues, it could result m the
complete shutdown of all new residential development in eastern Rosemount. Along with
the 400 acre McMenomy parcel to our north this would effectively halt the development
of nearly 500 acres.
Because of this issue, it is our hope that a solution to this issue between the parties can be
worked out Perhaps a more flexible land use designation could be created and used in
the disputed area. Alternatively, a revised path for the sewer trunk line along public right
of way or easements could be used. If this were to occur, would it be possible for the
assessments related to the sewer trunk improvements to be staged and deferred until
actual commercial development is warranted on the Arcon Pemton site?
A second comment that we would like to bring forward is with respect to the allowed
density along the railroad tracks on both of our parcels. The urban residential land use
designation, which allows three units per acre, seems reasonable for the bulk of our
property. However, the portion of our land that lies closest to the railroad tracks, in our
opinion, should allow for a somewhat higher density to allow town homes or carnage
homes to be constructed without causing reduced density on the rest of our property.
-We sincerely hope that the planning commission will consider these important concerns
when formulating and forwarding your recommendations on to the City Council. Our
belief is that equitable solutions can be found which will avoid a near term shut down of
residential development m eastern Rosemount. As longtime landowners and former
residents of Rosemount, we would like to thank you for your consideration on this
important issue.

Good Day,
My name is Rhonda Busswitz and we live at 1293 145th Street East in Rosemount With the new and use
proposal our property is designated as 'public institute' This leads us to believe either the Technical College or
the city /county would be the ones who would like to acquire our land
If possible we would like to sit down with the city and discuss our property and receive an understanding of
what the council is seeing as the future use of our property I was at the public meeting last Tuesday, May 24th,
and what I heard is some people would be affected sooner, some later We understand that Rosemount wants to
grow, and I can understand why and how your vision of growth is planned out We would just like a better
understanding of where we stand Are we looking at having to move? Will this be in 90 days? In one year? 10
years? This not only effect my husband and I, but also our children
I know you are still in the planning stages, but any information you can give us would be better than the nothing
that we know now When we think of our future, and if we should invest money in our property it is all in
question, a white haze, and this is not a feeling I like to have
So if we could schedule a time to sit down with someone from the and use planning commission and discuss
all of this, we would be very grateful

RE: McAndrews Family Farm Proposed Zoning
I would like to take a minute to express a few concems regarding the proposed Highway
52/ County Road 42 land use plan that were presented at the May 10 2005 planning
commission land use plan workshop. Although we feel that the land use plan is moving
in the nght direction, there are a few issues that are of concern including the transition
from industrial zoning in relation to the residential zoning, development obstacles with
the northern half of the McAndrews farm, and the possibilities of future retail commercial
businesses within the eastern corridor of Rosemount.
The future extension of Connemara Trail will serve as an excellent separation point to
transition from industrial (north side of Connemara Trail) to a medium density use (south
side of Connemara Trail). Therefore, we would like to propose to return the zoning
classification to include 40 acres of medium density on the north half of the eastern
parcel in place of the industrial zoning classification If the north half of the eastern
parcel is zoned medium density there will be an orderly transition from an industrial use
(north side of Connemara Trail) to a medium density use (south side of Connemara
Trail). Additionally, a medium density zoning classification for the 40 acres on the north
half of the eastern parcel would allow for a smooth transition into the business park
zoning that abuts the McAndrews parcel to the east.
Through discussions with city staff, it is our understanding that future extensions of
Connemara Trail will fall on the northem property line of the McAndrews family farm
parcels. If the Industrial land remains undeveloped for several years how will Connemara
Trail be extended without development dnven funds?
The northern property line consists of several obstacles including significant overhead
lattice towers that convey the 240 KV power lines, a proposed major collector
(Connemara Trail), a proposed minor collector that is currently aligned approximately

halfway through the McAndrews farm running east and west, and a 48" MET Council
sanitary sewer interceptor line that runs diagonally across the North half of the properties.
Moreover. a gas line exists on the south end of the westerly parcel as well When
easements for the Met Council sanitary sewer interceptor line and overhead power lines
are accounted for, the remaining area on the north half of the property will be more suited
for a residential use rather than an mdustnal use. From a land planning standpoint, we
feel it is more feasible to develop 40 acres of a medium density use while creatmg a site
plan around the vanous easements and or improvements on the northern line. Moreover,
a medium density use will help to offset the financial responsibilities of improving the
future extension of Connemara trail along our North property line
It is our understanding that the City of Rosemount desires a Commercial Retail complex
in the eastern comdor of Rosemount that will include national retailers such as Target,
Home Depot, Byerly's, ETC. We could not agree more that a commercial retail area will
be an excellent addition to the eastern comdor of Rosemount. However, commercial
retail is dnven by the number of rooftops within the immediate area. Industrial uses will
not attract commercial retail. As displayed in the most current land use map, there are
over 2500 acres that are guided for mdustnal or business uses. How many years does the
city estimate for the enure industnali business zoned areas to be developed? If the
residential growth has already substantially exceeded the current projections, is there
possibly a need to decrease the mdustnal zoning and increase residential zoning?
We understand that the end goal would be to guarantee that growth in development will
reflect positively on the commumty as a whole We envision the McAndrews family
farm as a high quality mixed used master planned community that would mclude town
homes, single farnily homes, active adult and senior living, and neighborhood retail with
pedestrian accesses from the surrounding neighborhoods that would create a
"neighborhood retail community" including shops and restaurants We would like to
create a community that includes similar charactenstics of an Evermore or a
Cobblestone Lake neighborhood concept that will include all of the neighborhood retail
amenities with in walking distance.
As we continue working through the land use plan, I greatly appreciate having the
opportunity to work with city staff and the community as whole. We are very excited to
have the opportumty to work in the City of Rosemount Please contact me (952) 435

letter.

Members of the Planning Commission and City Staff:
I'm Margaret McAndrews Eustice, one of the owners of the McAndrews farm and
a residential realtor based in Dakota County for the past 16 years. Our land is
located directly across the Dakota County Technical College and UMore Park.
Rosemount City Council's goals include maintaining city services and moderating
property tax rates. Rosemount is well advised to increase its residential inventory
now. An important way to expand Rosemount's tax base is by attracting big box
retailers. Of course, before locating in an area, retailers require sufficient
rooftops to support their businesses. The proposed, centralized air cargo facility
in the southeast section of Rosemount could create thousands of jobs and
greatly increase Rosemount's need for housing inventory. These new residents
would attract the retailers the city seeks.
As a realtor, I have gotten to know many of the community's leading developers.
As a land owner, our family sought a developer offering impeccable
credentials ..community commitment...and the genius to transform our family
farm to a livable, attractive mixed -use residential community.
Our family was pleased to receive written offers from four of the metro area's
leading residential developers who embraced the Planning Commission's vision
for CR 42 development based on the March 29, option III proposal for residential
mixed -use development.
Last Friday, we learned that the Planning Commission had reguided one quarter
of our farm from residential to industrial. We believe that this land would sit for
years and years since 140 Street would not be extended without development
funds. Mindful of the demand for more rooftops to support retailers and the
potentially enhanced tax base, we respectfully request that Planning Commission
return the zoning of our property to mixed -use residential
We have sold our farm to a local development company, Ames Land Company,
and tonight I'd like to introduce Shawn Dahl, Director Real Estate Development
for Ames construction company to share the vision we have for our family farm.
Intro:
McAndrews/ Courteau Family Farm, Rosemount Minnesota
May 10 Land Use Plan Workshop
Good evening, my name is Shawn Dahl the director of Real Estate Development for
Ames Construction Company. Ames Land Company has created single family housing
developments across the south metro area including Shakopee, Jordan, Belle Plaine, and
Rochester. Now we are very excited to have the opportunity to work with the City of
Rosemount.
In the past few weeks we have met with City Staff regarding the draft land use plan.
Additionally, we attended the April land use plan workshop. Although we feel that the
land use plan is moving in the right direction, there are a few points that I would like to
discuss with you tonight.
I. Land use separation north /south sides of proposed Connemara collector extension
The future extension of Connemara Trail will serve as an excellent separation point to
transition from industrial on the north side of Connemara Trail to residential on the south
side of Connemara Trail. Therefore, we would like to propose a revision to the land use
plan to include 40 acres of medium density on the north half of the eastern parcel in place
of the industnal zoning classification. If the northern half of the eastern parcel is zoned
medium density, there will be an orderly transition from an industrial use on the north
side of Connemara Trail as well as the business park on the east to a medium density
multi family use south of Connemara Trail. Through discussions with city staff, it is our
understanding that future extensions of Connemara Trail will fall on the northern
property line of the McAndrews family farm parcels Industrial land may sit for years.
How will Connemara Trail be extended without development dnven funds?
II. Hardships on North Property line
The northern property line consists of several obstacles including overhead power lines, a
proposed major collector (Connemara Trail), a proposed minor collector that is currently
aligned approximately halfway through the McAndrews farm running east and west, and
a 48" sanitary sewer interceptor line that runs diagonally across the North half of the
properties. When easements for the interceptor line and overhead power lines are
accounted for, the remaining area on the north half of the property will be more suited for
a residential use rather than an industrial use. In other words, it is more feasible to
develop 40 acres of a medium density use while creating a site plan around the various
easements and or improvements on the northern line. Moreover, medium density use will
help to offset the financial responsibilities of improving the future extension of
Connemara trail.
III City Goals for the area
It is our understanding that the City of Rosemount desires a Commercial Retail complex
in the eastern comdor of Rosemount that will include national retailers such as Target,
Home depot, Byerly's, ECT. We could not agree more that a commercial retail area will
be an excellent addition to the eastern corridor of Rosemount. However, the `Big Box"
Commercial retail is driven by the number of rooftops within a given area. Industrial
uses will not attract commercial retail.
IV. The Vision
We envision the McAndrews family farm as a high quality mixed used master planned
community that would include town homes, single family homes, adult senior living,
and neighborhood commercial retail with pedestrian friendly accesses from the
surrounding neighborhoods that would create a "retail community
We would like to create an Evermore neighborhood concept that will include all of the
neighborhood retail amenities with in walking distance.

Dear Members of the Planning Commission and City Staff:
RE McAndrews (Courteau) Property East of Akron on County Road 42
We appreciate the opportunity to share our thoughts with you regarding mixed -use
development of the property east of Akron Avenue.
Family background
Mary McAndrews Courteau, Margaret McAndrews Eustice, Ann McAndrews Day and
Joe McAndrews, along with our spouses, own the two- parcel property that was our
family farm in Rosemc', nt;ust east of Akron. Our parcels are separated by the Earl
Bester property.
Over 50 years ago, with great awareness of Rosemount's Irish heritage, our
parents John and Marie McAndrews, purchased our farm on county road 42
now across from the Dakota County Technical College and UMore Park
On this farm, our parents raised four healthy children We were 4 -H club
members; our mother taught in the Rosemount Public School System, was a 4-H
leader as well as a dedicated volunteer at St Joseph's Church in Rosemount.
It Was a Great Life near Koch
Our family can testify that we enjoyed living -near the refinery and across from the
University land even before the recent environmental controls were mandated.
Many pleasant summer evenings, after chores were completed, we rode our
bikes on the University roads. We proudly brought our college friends home for
holidays to share in the great Rosemount traditions
It must have been a healthy lifestyle: Our mother celebrates her 95 birthday this
month and still volunteers her time to numerous charities, our father was 90
when he died five years ago All four of us children —now each over 50 years old-
enjoy great health.
Welcoming Change
Our brother managed the farm after our parents' retirement and considered
developing a large hog operation on it. However, he recognized that this location did
not provide the agricultural infrastructure he needed Further, due to the increasing
number of surrounding suburban homes, he believed it was more socially
responsible to move his farming operation to another county. Today, we rent the
farm to a commercial grower.
Odors? Not in our Neighborhood
It amazed us when one member of Flint Hill's citizen coalition stated that interiors of
homes near refineries have an odor The only odor we recall was apple pie and
home-made bread Those of us who live southwest of the refinery know that the
prevailing winds blow their odors away from our location Our two parcels in
particular are odor free
recteld
Dakota County Technical College No Gas Masks Required
Directly across the street on County Road 42 from our farm is Dakota County
Technical College which trains thousands of students and employs hundreds of staff.
During Mary McAndrews Courteau's years in administration at the college, Koch
Refinery wasn't even on our radar screen Neither students nor staff spoke of the
refinery. It was a non factor. To hear some of the alarmists address the Planning
Commission at the last meeting, you'd think that the Technical College students
should be issued gas masks just to go to /from the campus
Flint Hills Entertains the Neighbors
Several years ago, Flint Hills invited local land owners to tour their facility and enjoy
a dinner on their campus. Guests were told about the safety of the operation and
regaled with tales of what great environmental neighbors they are There was no
mention of the embellished dangers recently described by Flint Hills.
Buffer Zone
Now there's quite a rot of talk about a `buffer zone" to protect us from possible
unfortunate events at the refinery. So what is a reasonable zone? Isn't the
proposed industrial zone surrounding the refinery sufficient? At recent meetings,
we've heard that a one two and even a three -mile radius would be required.
Sounds like Flint Hills would like to close downtown Rosemount too.
There are no state or federal regulations that would impact use of our property
The recent Texas City refinery blast killed workers on site but damage was
limited to a 1 4 mile radius, and according to the Wall Street Journal, there was no
impact on the surrounding community
The other day a 200 pound NorthWest airlines reverse thruster fell out of the sky
and landed in Dakota County. Does this mean that all development in Dakota
County should be curtailed because of our proximity to the airport?
A Request for Zoning Change
We were happy to learn that the Planning Commission proposes that the highest and
best use of this land is not agricultural but mixed -use development Regarding our
west parcel, we respectfully request that the non commercial land (approximately 60
acres) be evenly divided with 30 acres for medium and 30 acres for single family
homes
Our easterly parcel contains approximately 5 acres that is currently guided for
a commercial use. At this time, we would like to propose that the
approximately five acres of commercial be re guided to a medium density use.
Extending the commercial onto our easterly parcel places the commercial
zoning over a half mile east of Akron Avenue. Would it be more efficient to
end the commercial at the westerly property line of our easterly parcel? In
return, the commercial zoning would end at our western property line
approximately 1 /2 of a mile away from the intersection Akron Avenue and
County Road 42.
We feel that it is very important to maintain the residential development east of
Akron Avenue as per the land use map that was presented at the planning
commission workshop on April 12. The land use map guides a substantial area
of commercial retail development. With the unavailability of the university
property for residential growth on the south side of county road 42, it is prudent
to maintain residential development to attract commercial businesses to their
respective locations as indicated on the land use map. Without additional roof
tops in the immediate area east of Akron, the commercially zoned areas will
struggle to attract "big box" retail and supporting businesses that are typically
developed in concert with the larger retail users.
MUSA Line Extension
Is the city asking for the ability to maintain a floating MUSA line? If not, we
would like to ask if the city would consider requesting a floating MUSA line. If a
floating MUSA line is not acceptable, we would like to propose to extend the
MUSA line boundaries to include both of our parcels. Since we are currently
working to create a revised and updated land use plan for our future growth,
why not extend the MUSA line to the east from Akron Avenue as much as
possible to insure that our future growth is not hindered by MUSA line
extension requests that may be delayed through the MUSA line extension
process.
Having Their Cake and Eating It Too
Flint Hills wants us to believe that they are environmentally sound but yet they don't
want residential development east of Akron. They have also stated that they will buy
no more land.
What is their true motive for attempting to freeze the number of rooftops?
Sounds like a case of David and Goliath.
We believe that Flint Hills is employing very self serving scare tactics in an
attempt to cover their dirty little secrets regarding soil contamination, and to
freeze rooftops so they can expand their operations in the future without
resistance from the City
Flint Hills also benefits by selling more gasoline to commuters who must drive
beyond Rosemount to their homes.
We wonder if past City Council members now regret their decision to permit
Koch /Flint Hills to establish a site within this fine city Hopefully, current and
future City Council members will see that Flint Hills is not a trustworthy neighbor
and will do all they can do deny any expansion of their operations
Congratulations to the Planning Commission and City Staff
The Air Freight cargo center could provide 6,000 to 30,000 new jobs. Let's prepare
for that exciting opportunity Due to lack of housing inventory in Rosemount, we have
seen our neighboring cities grow as our friends purchase homes in Apple Valley,
Coates, Lakeville, Farmington, Hampton and New Trier
We congratulate the Planning Commission for their dedication and their wonderful
plan to grow commerce and increase Rosemount's tax base through mixed -use
development east of Akron Avenue across from the Dakota County Technical
College and UMore Park.
Thank you for the opportunity to present this information. I can be reached at 952 -890-

Rosemount, MN 55068
This letter is being written in support of the County Road 42- Highway 52 Land Use Plan
put together over the last nine months by the 42/52 Corridor Study Group. I was
privileged to serve on the Study Group along with representatives from the University of
Minnesota and Flint Hills. With the input of numerous residents and other interested or
infointed persons we developed a sound plan that was forged in the spirit of compromise
and good faith. With over 300 acres on the east side of Almon Avenue we believe that we
are entitled to some say in how our property is used, and therefore we were most
appreciative to have representation on the Study Group. This area has been in a holding
pattern of agricultural use, but now it is exciting to be working on the long -term plan.
We have a number of comments to make on the situation as it currently stands:-
If the City wishes to have an increased commercial tax base then this will require
sufficient population to patronize it The proposed new commercial district at the
Akron Avenue /42 interchange will not be viable without housing east of Akron
Avenue to support it. Apple Valley's commercial district has mushroomed in size
over the last five years as rooftops have been added in the immediate vicinity.
The Metropolitan Council has made very clear its desire that cities increase
residential acreages and densities where possible, and is investing $100 million in
the nearby Empire treatment plant in support of this desire in this area.
The properties along the east side of Akron Avenue have been available for
purchase for many years at relatively modest prices but nobody took the
opportunity to purchase them as `buffer'. Why should the City now give up the
economic benefit of highest and best development in order to provide a free
`buffer'?
The proposed plan was developed over many months with input from multiple
sources, including Flmt Hills as a Study Group member.
We are in full agreement that the east part of the area towards Rich Valley
Boulevard should become much more industrial in flavor. The proposed bike trail
in conjunction with the drop -off in elevation along the west side of Rich Valley
would make an excellent `hard boundary' between more industrial uses to the east
versus more residential/commercial uses to the west. There is ample time to
create physical landscaping to enhance the separation of activities.
1 tA It /o
The recent opposition to the proposed plan is seeking to justify `biffering' of long
established industrial facilities that have a relatively low employment base, tax
base and growth prospect given the acreage they occupy.
The City has to deal with the fact that, for the foreseeable future two very large
tracts of property are in effect sterilized by Flint Hills and the University. This
requires the City to maximize the use of what remains available but undeveloped.
Any `reserve' or `banking' of land that the City might see as prudent should be
done where the land value and the investment in infrastructure is lowest, which is
east of Hwy 52.
If hazards or risks to citizens from the industrial facilities are known to exist they
should be declared and mitigated. Proposed residential areas are still a mile away
from Flint Hills, whereas they are on the doorstep of comparable facilities in other
communities.
Any residential development east of Hwy 52 will be, in effect, a `new'
community requiring its own new infrastructure, so the City should maximize the
development west of Hwy 52 where it has already made, or is committed to make
substantial investments in sewer, water, streets, fire and police facilities, parks
and recreation facilities, etc.
In summary, we feel that the plan developed by the Study Group is a sound one that
should serve the City of Rosemount very well for many years to come.

Dear Planning Commission Members:
PO. Box 645B6
Saint Paul, Minnesota 55164
651 437 0700
Flint Hills Resources thanks you for the opportunity to briefly address the Planning Commission
during your March 8th work session about our concerns with the 52/42 Study Group draft plan.
Please let us know if you would like to continue the discussion at a future Planning Commission
meeting.
For a long time, Flint Hills has sought to ensure that development near the Pine Bend Refinery is
compatible with industrial uses and that a sufficient buffer exists between the refinery and
residential development. The current comprehensive plan maintains a sufficient buffer.
However, as we mentioned at the March 8` meeting, we are deeply concerned about some of the
proposed residential development in the draft 52/42 Study Group plan.
While we appreciate having been included in the 52/42 Study Group, the one aspect of the draft
plan Flint Hills cannot support is residential development east of Akron and north of County
Road 42. We would be comfortable with most other types of development in that area, but we
cannot support residential development.
Flint Hills Resources believes that, prior to any approval of this proposed plan, the
Planning Commission should require a detailed study to review the compatibility of
industry already in place with the proposed residential zoning. To our knowledge, there
has not been a structured effort to ensure that the appropriate buffer zones have been
identified and allocated in this proposed plan. Without this detailed evaluation, we do not
see how the Commission can approve this plan.
We realize the current comprehensive plan must change to accommodate the City's growth.
That is why Flint Hills worked with planning consultants to offer an alternative plan for the area
east of Akron and north of County Road 42, which was included with your matenals for the
March 8 meeting We believe that plan will meet important City needs like more recreational
opportunities, storinwatermanagement and increasing the contribution of business taxes to the
overall City tax base while maintaining a sufficient buffer area between residential uses and the
industnal area.

The map Flint Hills provided also indicates areas for potential future refinery growth. Flint Hills
is currently constructing new processing units and tanks to meet upcoming federal requirements
for cleaner diesel fuel, as well as planning a project to increase crude oil processing capacity.
Potential growth will occur withm the existing refinery fencelme, but it is possible that industries
that support our business could locate adjacent to the facility on Flint Hills' property We
thought it important to include these elements as part of the discussion about sufficient buffer
area.
Finally, we have also enclosed an attachment that includes some guidance changes we would
like to see made to the Study Group draft plan for property Flint Hills owns.
Flint Hills understands the growth pressures Rosemount faces and hopes we can continue to
work with the City as it plans how to best manage that growth. Having a sufficient buffer area
between residential development and the existing industrial development is a critical
component of this planning process.

Flint Hills Resources requests that the suggested guidance for several parcels of land
owned by the company be changed from what is recommended in the 52/42 Study Group
draft plan.
1) Flint Hills' property on the east side of Akron, north of County Road 38. Rural
residential is the suggested guidance in the draft plan. Flint Hills does not intend
to sell these parcels for residential use; therefore we would like to see the
guidance remain agricultural
2) Flint Hills' property south of the refinery The draft plan also proposes guiding
Flint Hills' property south of the refinery for business park use. Flint Hills does
not plan to sell that property for business park use and would prefer to see it
guided general industrial or agricultural
3) Flint Hills' property to the east of Highway 52 and north of County Road 38. The
draft plan guides development on this parcel as mixed industrial Flint Hills does
not intend to sell this property for mixed industrial use, but would consider selling
it for general industrial use. Flint Hills would like to see that area guided general
industrial, which would also match the guidance for the surrounding property. We
believe general industnal is a more compatible use than mixed industrial m this
area.

The Pine Bend Area Industrial Group (PBAIG) is a collaboration of businesses in
the Pine Bend area of Rosemount and Inver Grove Heights Together, we
employ over 1400 people in the area as well as 600 contract and temporary
employees. A major purpose of the Group is to speak with one voice regarding
issues that may be common to member companies.
We would like to express our concern with the proposed County Road 42-
Highway 52 Land Use Plan Our primary concern is the incompatibility of
proposed residential zoning in close proximity to existing industrial zoning The
industrial nature of our businesses in the Pine Bend area is not a good fit with
residential neighborhoods. We believe that residential zoning east of Akron
Avenue and north of 155 Street will bring these two incompatible uses too close
to one another and potentially cause significant conflict within the community in
the future. The industrial area is already in place while residential is not The
only way to prevent potential conflict between the two is a land use plan that
excludes residential zoning in the area in question
However, the industrial nature of our businesses makes us very good neighbors
for similar and supporting industries. Many of the member companies enjoy the
benefits of doing business with neighboring businesses. We believe the land
east of Akron Avenue and north of 155 Street will serve the community better
with zoning that allows supporting industries to locate in Rosemount. Zoning
appropriate for such uses can then also act as a sufficient buffer between heavy
industrial and residential uses.
The proposed Land Use Plan allows residential development much too close to
the existing industrial base. This planning process is the last opportunity we will
likely have to prevent a conflict between these two incompatible uses We ask
that all involved in the planning process consider these issues regarding
compatibility and take this opportunity to act on them now with proper zoning
rather than allow potential future problems between industrial businesses and
residential neighbors

Dear Kim:
P.O. Box 64596
Saint Paul, Minnesota 55164
651 437.0700
Thank you again for mcluding Flint Hills Resources in the 52 /42- Comdor Study Group We
appreciate the opportunity to take an active part in planning the future of Rosemount. As we
have previously discussed, the City's examination of future growth options prompted our
company to examine our long -term plans for the Pine Bend Refinery property. While our
internal examination is still ongoing, Refinery management has looked at our property and the
latest draft map from the Study Group, and we would like to share our thoughts with the City.
As you and I have discussed on several occasions, Flint Hill's top priority is ensurmg that
development near the Refinery is compatible with our operations and that sufficient buffer exists
between the Refinery and residential development. A sufficient buffer serves to prevent
operational and secunty concerns, as well as to minimize nuisance issues A sufficient buffer
also allows for Refinery expansion in the future.
The City's 2020 planning process did provide sufficient buffer by guiding property east of Akron
and north of County Road 42 for agriculture or general mdustnal development. Flint Hills
participated in this planning process and endorsed the buffers around the Refinery created by'the
comprehensive plan update
The draft plan coming out of the Study Group departs significantly from the City's 2020
Comprehensive Plan Large sections of the area east of Akron and north of County Road 42 are
changed from agriculture and general industrial to residential, commercial, busmess park, and
mixed industrial This substantially erodes the necessary buffer for the Refinery Because of our
strong belief m the need for sufficient buffer. Flint Hills cannot support the draft plan from the
Study Group for the area east of Akron and north of County Road 42 In particular, Flint Hills
strongly opposes guiding any property in this area for residential development.
We understand the City's desire to guide future development and increase its tax base through an
appropnate combination of residential, commercial and mdustnal development We have hired
consultants to help us develop a comprehensive plan for our property and nearby land and would

TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM
TO: ARCON DEVELOPMENT, INC DATE: February 7, 2005
FROM: McComb Group, Ltd.
RE: ROSEMOUNT MARKET ANALYSIS CSAH 42 AT AKRON AVENUE
In response to your request, we have conducted preliminary market analysis to identify demand
for development of coimmercial retail and service uses in the area of CSAH 42 and Akron
Avenue m Rosemount, Minnesota.
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
The Arcon site trade area households increased from 2,378 in 2000 to 2,980 in 2004, an
annual growth rate of about 7 8 percent.
Average household income for this area was estimated at $82,019 in 2004, about six
percent above the Minneapolis -St Paul MSA average of $77,551.
Purchasing power is expected to increase at more than eleven percent annually in
constant dollars between 2005 and 2010, and at more than seven percent annually to
2025.
Other findings include:
The acreage proposed for future commercial development appears to be excessive when
compared to commercial developments m other, well- established communities.
The acreage proposed for future commercial development appears to be excessive in
relationship to anticipated likely population growth m Rosemount and the surrounding
area Future population growth is limited;
.MUSA limits
b Available land: Koch Refinery controlled and U of M research Iand
b Area of industrial uses limits appeal for residential development to the east.
The acreage proposed for future commercial development appears to be excessive given
proximity of Rosemount to established commercial areas These established areas:
Limit the potential trade area for retail businesses that may wish to develop m the
Rosemount area
K> Inhibit development of new retail businesses for categories already adequately
represented by already established stores serving the area
b Represent attractive areas of additional retail /service development (and
competition to Rosemount) particularly in "new growth" or "infill" areas of those
communities
The area of US 52 and CSAH 42 area will have greater appeal for future development,
particularly for big box/category killers.
For superior accessibility to freeway system and surrounding communities.
b Significantly better traffic currently and future. Traffic on Alcron is expected to
be less than Diamond Path at CSAH 42
b Similarly convenient to new growth areas as current Rosemount commercial area.
The CSAH 42 at Akron conunercial area lacks sufficient population and available
purchasing power to support major retail /service commercial development The area
could support the following (see Appendix tables):
b By 2010, a small convenience retail /service area, including, for example, a gas
convenience store, a liquor store, perhaps two or three restaurants, and other
convenience services like hair /tanning salon, daycare center, and a few service
professionals.
By 2015, a small community center, perhaps with a small supermarket (similar in
size to the closed Knowlan's Supennarket in Rosemount), with an additional
30,000 to 50,000 square feet of added retail /service offerings. As residential
development continues, the area will support some additional shopping goods
categories like women's or fanuly apparel, home furnishings and decorating,
camera and film, music, electronics, and may generate adequate support for
medical /professional offices of 15,000 to 20,000 square feet
b By 2025, the CSAH 42 :Akron commercial area still lacks sufficient population
and available purchasing power to support a major retail/service commercial
development area. The area could support retailers of convenience goods
including supermarket, drug store, hardware, etc with a combined supportable
square footage for convenience, goods, shopping goods, and services estimated at
approximately 150,000 to 180,000 square feet.
b This suggests that convenience /neighborhood centers should more appropriately
be planned for this area, only requiring 15 to 20 acres of commercial land
designations.
Commercial development of the US 52 /CSAH 42 area could have significant
competitive impacts on the CSAH 42 and Akron area. If such development
occurs, the amount of supportable square footage for the CSAH 42- Alcron area
could be significantly reduced.
b Acquisition of substantial acreage of U of M Research Center land for residential
development could provide significant additional population; and this population
would support additional commercial development Such an occurance (sale of
large tracts of U of M land) seems to be quite speculative It seems appropriate
BACKGROUND
therefore, to plan a portion of this U of M land (e g southwest quadrant of CSAH
42 and Akron) to meet the future conunerctai development demand that may
result from residential development of the U of M Research Center land.
The City of Rosemount is proposing to modify its present land use plan Increasing residential
development demand has almost used up all available residential property in Rosemount that hes
within the present MUSA boundaries. The City of Rosemount will be requesting an extension of
the MUSA boundaries to allow for continued residential development; and anticipates, as a
result, increased demand for commercial retail and service developments.
Rosemount's proposed land use plan would add to the present 130 acres of commercial land area
approximately 600 acres for future conunercial development. (See Table 1)

Based on an average land area requirement of one acre for every 10,000 square feet of building
area for commercial retail or service establishments, Rosemount will be providing enough and
area to support about 7 3 million square feet of commercial retail or service establishments For
comparison purposes and as a point of reference, Table 2 provides a summary of some already
established retail commercial areas in the Twin Cities Metro Area and their relationship to the
planned commercial areas for Rosemount.
ARCON COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AREA
The Arcon commercial development area at CSAH 42 /Akron Avenue is predominately farmland
at present. although the Dakota County Vocational Technical College is located in the southeast
quadrant of CSAH 42 and Akron Avenue. The proposed land use plan has designated for
commercial retail /service development approximately 220 acres in this CSAH 42 /Akron area
(See Figure 1: Proposed Rosemount Land Use Plan).

Location
CSAH '42 is a four -lane, undivided roadway and it's the primary east -west arterial through the
Rosemount area Akron Avenue (County Road 73) is presently a gravel roadway with very
limited use. US Highway 52 is situated 2.5 miles east of Akron Avenue (The area of CSAH 42
and US 52 is also designated as a major commercial area on the proposed land use plan, with an
estimated 260 acres for commercial development). MN Highway 3 is two miles west of Akron
Avenue.
The Arcon development area does not appear properly situated for a major regional or sub
regional retail commercial area. It lacks the convenient accessibility to extend population centers
via the regional freeway system among other factors and must be considered less than
satisfactory for this kind of major development (See Table 3 Summary of Criteria Ratings).

Future plans (see Figure 2. 2025 Road Classifications), call for improving existing roadways in
the vicinity of the Arcon property or adding additional roadways as areas of Rosemount develop.
Access to the Arcon area would likely be provided from Akron Avenue, which will become a
major collector at some point. It is expected that the intersection of CSAH 42 and Akron
Avenue would be signalized One would anticipate that direct access from CSAH 42, aprincipal
arterial, may be limited at some point in the future as traffic volumes increase. The residential
areas expected to develop in the areas north of CSAH 42 would be connected to the Arcon
commercial area by upgraded and improved county roads, Alcron Avenue (County 73) and 135
Street (County 38), and by new local streets.

The future roadway plans also suggest an improvement of the US 42 /CSAH 42 intersection,
although no funding for this is allocated in the Trunk Highway Funding Plan in Mn/DOT's 20-
year Transportation System Plan, and is part of the interregional corridor for which timing is yet
to be detennined. This potentially competing area would also have convenient accessibility to
the study area by way of CSAH 42 as well as County 71 (Blaine Avenue), a minor arterial
parallel to US 52 about miles west of US 52.

The greatest percentage increase in daily traffic was on Diamond Path, north of CSAH
42, with an increase of almost 65 percent, increasing by 3,700 vehicles a day, from 5,700
to 9,400. This is likely the result of the significant residential construction that occurred
in the northwest sections of Rosemount. Assuming that the residential areas lying north
of the Arcon development area do develop eventually, one can assume at some point
traffic volumes along Akron Avenue may be similar to Diamond Path.
Traffic along CSAH 42 generally increased by about 15 to 20 percent (almost 5 -6 percent
per year), except traffic on 42 east of US 52 increased by almost 40 percent, and traffic
on 42 in the area of TH -3 decreased by 5 to 7 percent This decrease may be the result of
completion of 160 running parallel to CSAH 42 to the south.
Roads running south from CSAH 42 increased 13 to 22 percent (or 4 -7 percent per year).
A comparison of the traffic volumes in the area of competing retail areas (Table 5) clearly
indicates that the Amon area (CHAR 42 at Alcron Avenue) has a long way to come before its
traffic volumes come close to those in areas of larger residential population with significant
retail- service establishments present The Burnsville Center area can boast 100,000 to 120,000
vehicles along I- 35W/I -35E with 30,000 to 56,000 cars along CSAH 42, for a combined volume
of about 150,000 cars.

Traffic volumes along CSAH 42 in the area of Akron Avenue will likely continue to increase.
Assuming an average increase of five percent per year over ten years would result in about
29,000 vehicles along CSAH 42 /Akron Avenue. Given the expected limitation of land available
at that time for continued residential development, one must question the likelihood on continued
increases in CSAH 42 traffic volumes after 2015.
Visibility
The retail or service establishments that may be developed as part of the Arcon development area
would likely enjoy very good visibility to CSAH 42 and to Akron Avenue. The US 52 /CSAH 42
designated commercial area to the east would also enjoy excellent visibility to CSAH 42 as well
as US Highway 52
COMPETITIVE SHOPPING AREAS
The retail and service establishments developed in the CSAH 42 /Akron Avenue area will be
competitive with several shopping areas in Dakota County Rosemount's largest commercial
area at present is located m the area of MN Highway 3 and CSAH 42, with most in the southwest
quadrant, extending west along CSAH 42 about 0 75 miles to Shannon Parkway. This area
includes Cub Foods Marcus Theatre (eight screens), and Walgreens The "downtown" area of
Rosemount, located at MN Highway 3 and 145 Street, is much smaller in area, and is situated
approximately mile north of CSAH 42. Convenience retail and services will be competitive
with these established Rosemount retail areas, and shopping areas located in Apple Valley,
Eagan, Lakeville, Hastings, and Famungton as outlined in Table 6.

Additional development of convenience retail and service establishments in these competing
areas is likely, particularly as currently undeveloped areas full in with additional housing
Shopping goods retailers will be competitive with stores in these areas, as well as the Mall of
America m Bloomington
These shopping areas provide various levels of convenience and shopping goods to Dakota
County residents Competitive shopping areas and the Arcon trade area are shown on Map 1.
Competitive shopping areas include neighborhood, coimnumty, and regional shopping areas.
Super Regional Shopping Areas
The super regional shopping concentration that is competitive to Rosemount is Burnsville Center
located at the southwest quadrant of I -35W and CSAH 42 This overall shopping area including
the Burnsville Center Mall and nearby retail centers and establishments, contains about 2.5
million square feet of GLA Burnsville Center opened in the early seventies and became the
focal point of a major shopping node, which includes Aurora Village Center, Burnsville Plaza„
Cobblestone Court, Burnsville Marketplace, Burnhill Plaza, Burns\ille Crossing, and Burnhaven
Mall. In addition, Kohl's, Horne Depot and Cub Foods occupy freestanding stores These stores
and shopping centers are generally located along CSAH 42 west of I -35W. Traffic congestion
on CSAH 42 is making shopping m this area less convenient than in the past, however,
McAndrews (County Highway 11)- to the north and Southview Boulevard to the south of CSAH
42 have become alternate routes to this area for many local shoppers.
ARCON TRADE AREA
The trade area for the Arcon area was delineated by McComb Group, Ltd. and is based on the
location of competitive shopping areas, arterial road network, natural and man-made boundaries
and previous experience The trade area, shown on Map 1, consists of portions of Rosemount,
Inver Grove Heights, Coates, as well as portions of Vermillion and Empire Townships. The
western edge of the trade area extends to Shannon Parkway, while the eastern edge extends to
the heavy industrial areas along US 52 and TH -55. The Mississippi River is also a natural
barrier that forms the northeastern edge of the trade area. The southern limit of the area
extends to 190` Street m Eureka Township The size of the trade area is limited by present and
future retail concentrations in Rosemount, Apple Valley, Lakeville, Eagan, Inver Grove Heights,
Hastings, and Farmington. It may also be further reduced if the US 52 /CSAH 42 area is
developed as a competing commercial area.
Population and Households
Population and households in the Arcon trade area, Dakota County and Rosemount have been
growing at a rate substantially faster than the Minneapolis -St. Paul MSA as shown in Table 7
Trade area population increased at an annual rate of 2.78 percent from 5,169 people in 1990 to
6,802 in 2000, 6 12 percent between 2000 and 2004, and is estimated to increase at a rate of
12.71 percent to 14,397 people by 2009 The trade area estimated 2009 population of 14,397
represents only 3.56 percent of Dakota County's population, but represents an estimated 62.9
percent of Rosemount's population at that time.

Arcon trade area households grew at an annual rate of 3.30 percent from 1990 to 2000.
Households increased from 1,719 to 2,378 from 1990 to 2000 and are expected to increase to
5,293 by 2009. Household growth rates for the trade area are estimated to increase to 12.11
percent through 2009 assuming that residential developments planned for the area are allowed to
proceed. Based on recent growth trends, this appears to be a realistic projection. Dakota County
has also experienced steady growth in Rosemount and nearby areas, in households with a growth
rate of 3.92 percent from 1990 to 2000 and an expected rate of growth of 2 24 percent from 2004
to 2009 The City of Rosemount had a 5 15 percent growth rate from 1990 to 2000 and is
expected to grow at just over 7 0 percent from 2004 to 2009. The MSA is growing at a much
lower rate 1 7 percent from 1990 to 2000 and an expected rate of growth for 2004 to 2009 of
1 88 percent. In 2009, Arcon wade area households will represent only 3 25 percent of all
Dakota County households, and the City of Rosemount only about 4.8 percent
Household density for the Arcon trade area is shown on Map 2. Current household density is
generally higher in the areas to the north and west of the trade area, including Apple Valley,
Eagan, and Inver Grove Heights The western one -third of Rosemount has a density similar to
these communities; however, much of the trade area is presently undeveloped.
The Rosemount land use plan under consideration proposes to designate for commercial use
about 220 acres of land at this intersection with approximately 170 acres of which hes north of
CSAH 42 (Arcon conunercial area) An estimated 945 acres north of CSAH 42 and surrounding
this commercial area is designated for future residential development as follows.
Residential
Zoning
Acres Category
205 MD
75 HD
665 UR
945
Assuming an average of 3.5 households per acre, this designated residential land could provide
up to 3,308 new households For purposes of this study, it is assumed that Rosemount would add
450 additional households each year for ten years, a total of 4,500 additional households. It is
expected that the initial years' growth would occur in undeveloped areas within the present
MUSA boundaries of Rosemount, and would utilize remaining undeveloped residential land m
this area. The balance of growth for this period would occur in the newly 945 acres of
designated residential areas as described above.
Although the proposed land use plan indicates substantial designated land for residential
development south of CSAH 42 almost all of such land is part of the University of Minnesota
Research Center There is no indication that U of M land will be available for development, and
so we have assumed to development activity on this U of M land Additionally, much of the land
area north of CSAH 42 and west of US 52 is owned or controlled by Flint Hills Research,
operators of the Koch Refinery. There is also no indication that Flint Hills would make its
refinery land or "buffer" area available for development.
By 2015, all available land designated for residential development and lying east of US 52 (not
including U of M land) will likely have been developed Additional household growth assumes
that land designated for non residential uses will be reclassified to allow for continued residential
growth in this area, and that any needed extension of MUSA boundaries is granted.
It is assumed that residential growth in the Arcon trade area will be similar in nature and density
to recent residential developments in the Rosemount area, and that the demographics of these
new households will be similar as well.
Household Income
Arcon trade area average household income is estimated at $82,019 in 2004 The trade area
average household income is 5.8 percent higher than the Minneapolis -St Paul VISA average
household income of $77,551. Average 2004 household income in Dakota County was

snapshot contained in Table 8. This snapshot contains census data for 1990 and 2000 as well as
estimates for 2004 and 2009. These estimates were provided by Scan/US, Inc a source of
demographic information and adjusted for the substantial increase in planned residential
development for the area. The most significant trade area characteristic is the rapid household
growth of 7.8 percent annually from 2000 to 2004, expected to increase to 12 18 percent from
2004 to 2009.
Purchasing Power
Retail sales potential for the Arcon area is based on estimated purchasing power and market
share that can be achieved from the trade area. Retail sales from residents living outside the
trade area are inflow sales. Purchasing power estimates of trade area residents are derived from
retail sales by store type as reported by the Census of Retail Trade in 1992 and 1997. Retail
sales for 1998 through 2004 were estimated using information available from the U.S
Department of Commerce Future purchasing power estimates are expressed in constant 2004
dollars and reflect projected household growth. Household growth is based on the analysis
described earlier in this chapter.
Purchasing power is based on the number of trade area households adjusted to reflect income
characteristics. Purchasing power, for the purpose of this analysis, includes retail categories that
are characteristics of tenants that could be located in the Arcon commercial development area.
Estimated trade area retail purchasing power for 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2020 are shown in
Appendix Tables B -I and B -2 These estimates represent the potential dollar sales for a broad
range of retail and service stores generated by residents of the trade area.
Trade area purchasing power for shopping goods is expected to increase from $36 million in
2005 to about $61 mullion in 2010, a growth rate of almost eleven, percent, further increasing to
$170 million in 2025. Convenience goods purchasing power is estimated at $24 8 million in
2005 and is anticipated to increase to $41.5 million in 2010, expanding to $115.9 million by
2025
Estimates indicate that eating and drinking places purchasing power was $12 1 million in 2005
and is likely t� increase to $20 3 million in 2010. By 2025, eating and drinking purchasing
power will exceed $c6 7 million Total purchasing power for the Arcon trade area will increase
from $130 4 million in 2005 to about $610 million by 2025.

Retail and Service Potential
Arcon area development potential for retail stores, food service and services is closely related to
Arcon's trade area household growth. Trade area households are estimated to increase from
2,980 in 2004 to 8,091 in 2015 Household growth projections are based on market demand
development estimates and take into consideration the residential growth described above.
If residential development exceeds or is below this estimate, development potential will be
higher or lower than projected McComb Group's purchasing power indicated supportable
demand for a community retail area, retail and service uses totaling approximately 80,000 to
100,000 square feet by 2015, and about double that square footage by 2025.
Trade area growth and resident purchasing power indicate potential for retail stores, food service,
and personal, business and financial services. The mix of these uses and square footage of each
category will depend on building design and site design. Assuming an average land requirement
of one acre for every 10,000 square feet of commercial retail area, the estimated supportable
demand in the Arcon area could be met on about 20 acres.
Development of retail or service establishments in the US 52 /CSAH 42 area could have
significant competitive impacts on the Arcon area, and the amount of supportable square footage
in the Arcon area would likely be reduced as a result.

In the summer of 2004, the City of Rosemount formed the 42/52 Land Use Study Group to
consider changes to the City of Rosemount 2020 Comprehensive Plan Update for properties in
eastern Rosemount. Flint Hills Resources was asked to be a member of the group and actively
participated in its meetings. The work of the Land Use Study Group was sent to the Rosemount
Planning Commission, and Flint Hills appeared before the Planning Commission on several
occasions to testify on proposed Comprehensive Plan changes along the 42/52 Corridor. Flint
Hills appreciates these opportunities to participate in the City's land use planning process.
On June 28, 2005, the Planning Commission voted to recommend to the Rosemount City
Council a set of amendments to the Comprehensive Plan. Throughout this planning process, Flint
Hills has expressed concerns about the proximity of residential development to the industrial
area in eastern Rosemount and takes this opportunity to present those concerns to the City
Council as it considers the proposed amendments.
Flint Hills Resources has always sought a significant buffer between the refinery and residential
uses. Since purchasing the refinery, the company has invested significant resources to maintain,
improve and expand the refinery. Flint Hills will continue to improve and expand the refinery in
the future in response to market demand for petroleum products and changes in government

regulations. We expect that current and future capital projects will occur within the existing
refinery fenceline, although it is possible that industries that support our business could locate
adjacent to the facility on Flint Hills' property.
In 1999, Flint Hills participated in the planning process leading to adoption of the
Comprehensive Plan and made plain its concerns about a proper buffer to the west of the
refinery. Flint Hills supported the City's decision at that time to guide land use between Akron
Avenue and Highway 52 as Agricultural.
The proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan guide a significant amount of property
east of Akron and north of County Road 42 for residential use. Flint Hills opposes guiding land
in this area for residential development. We would be comfortable with most other types of
development in that area, but we cannot support residential development.
We have several concerns about increased residential development occurring in this area. First,
increased residential development east of Akron and north of County Road 42 could lead to an
increase in nuisance complaints for Flint Hills, other industries in eastern Rosemount and the
City. Flint Hills has spent considerable time and money in recent years to reduce odors and
flaring at the refinery Flint Hills does not want to see this improvement compromised by large
numbers of people moving closer to the facility. Despite these improvements, odors and flaring
can still occur from refinery upsets, which can be caused by external events, such as power
disruption, or mechanical failure. Odors from these incidents can impact neighbors, and more
homes in close proximity to the refinery will likely increase the number of complaints. Having a
sufficient buffer minimizes nuisance issues.
Second, Flint Hills is also concemed about increased residential development east of Akron and
north of County Road 42 should a more serious incident occur at the refinery, a neighboring
industry or if there were a rail accident in the area. As part of our emergency response planning,
we look at serious incidents that could occur at the refinery and the area they would impact.
Flint Hills has identified and analyzed two types of worst -case release events: a vapor cloud
explosion and a chemical release. A vapor cloud explosion could impact an area up to 3 miles
(glass breakage) and a chemical release could travel up to 2.5 miles in worst -case weather
conditions. While the chance of these situations occurring is low and we work hard to prevent it,
the nsk remains and we have to respect that.
To our knowledge, there has not been a structured effort to ensure that the appropriate buffer
zones have been identified and guided in the proposed amendments. Before the Planning
Commission, Flint Hills asked that the City take a hard look at the buffer issues through a
detailed study to review the compatibility of the refinery and other industry already in place with
the proposed residential zoning. Without this detailed evaluation, we do not see how the City
Council can evaluate or adopt the proposed amendments.
Flint Hills knows the Comprehensive Plan must change to accommodate the City's growth. That
is why Flint Hills worked with planning consultants to offer an alternative plan for the area east
of Akron and north of County Road 42. This plan includes dedication of land for an athletic

complex, accommodating regional storm water storage and treatment through a natural treatment
system, creating and maintaining a natural interpretive area with trails, and developing
compatible industrial businesses, all while maintaining a sufficient buffer area between
residential uses and the industrial area.
At the June 28 Planning Commission meeting, Commission members did consider and make
guidance changes requested by Flint Hills for property the company owns Flint Hills supports
these changes made to several parcels owned by the company. These changes include:
Continuing to guide Flint Hills' property on the east side of Akron and north of County
Road 38 as Agricultural;
Reguiding Flint Hills' property south of the Pine Bend Refinery from Agricultural to
Mixed Industrial; and,
Reguidmg Flint Hills' property to the east of Highwa_ y 52 and north of County Road 38
from Agricultural to General Industrial.
Flint Hills understands the growth pressures Rosemount faces and hopes we can continue to
work with the City as it plans how to best manage that growth. Having a sufficient buffer area
between residential development and the existing industrial development is a critical component
of this planning process.
Flint Hills Resources still believes a study should be conducted to consider an appropriate buffer
between existing industry and proposed residential uses pnor to approving the proposed
amendments to the Comprehensive Plan.
Flint Hills appreciates this opportunity to present our views on the proposed amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan. If you have any questions, please call me at (651) 437 -0679.

Subject: Union Pacific Rail Spur Flint Hills Area
The Union Pacific Railroad (UP) has built several spur lines just west of Highway 52 and
between 140± Street and Flint Hills Refinery. There had been some discussion during the
42/52 land use meetings about the use of the spur lines and what impact, if any, the use
would have on development in the area.
On Wednesday, June 15a', I met with two representatives of UP; Mark Maday Manager of
Chemical Transportation Safety Northern Region and Michael Koscinski Senior Special
Agent II, Hazardous Materials Responder. The purpose of the meeting was to determine
the actual use of the spur lines once they become operational.
According to the UP reps., these lines will be used to consolidate the rail cars that are in the
Roseport (UP's term) spur area This spur will only service the industry users that are
already being serviced by Roseport. The difference will be that the rail cars will now be kept
in the new spur area for delivery to the companies as needed instead of storing the rail cars
at or just outside the facilities that are serviced by Roseport.
There will not be any more railcars present at the new rails than there are currently in the
area However, the railcars will all be consolidated at the Roseport spur. There are
approximately eleven (11) customers served by Roseport; Flint Hills Refinery is the biggest
user of the UP spur. In the last five (5) years there have only been three (3) chemical release
incidents in the northern region of UP, which includes Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa and
Wisconsin. None of the incidents impacted off -site areas.
Consolidation of the railcars for the Roseport area will increase the visibility of the railcars at
the new spur site because there will be more railcars at the site. However, it will end the
practice of having one or a few railcars stored at multiple sites in the area. UP will be
considering adding fencing as a visible deterrent in the areas that are most easily accessible,
such as, at the underpass at Hwy. 52. They do not intend to fence the entire area. There are
also UP staff on site consistently throughout the day at least six days per week for
approximately sixteen hours each day. They are not on site at all times but for many hours
each day.
