Three separate parcels along the eastern and southern edge of the refinery area are included m the request. The impetus of the request is to provide urban samtary sewer service to these specific sites. Currently, 197,225 gallons of sanitary waste is removed from the refinery and trucked to the metro wastewater treatment plant m St. Paul. The trip generation for the sanitary waste removal is estimated at 50 trips per month. BACKGROUND Apphcant Property owner: Don Kern of Fhnt Hills Resources, L.P. Location area: Parcel 1 approximately 16.4 acres including the administration building. Parcel 2 approximately 10 acres including to former Solberg shop site. Parcel 3 approximately 39 acres northwest of the Union Pacific Railroad crossing and U.S. 52 for a future warehouse project. Current Land Use zoning: Requested Comp Plan amendment: General Industrial Include the combined 65.4 acres of general industrial land m the MUSA for sanitary sewer service. Flint Hills Resources currently has no urban sewer and water. All of the sanitary waste is pumped and trucked off -site for disposal. The number of employees on the site fluctuates, but m 2006, the number is expected to be as high as 830, with up to 205 contract employees and 1,200 construction contractors on site. Facilities for the construction contractors are temporary and fluctuate depending upon the completion of contracted work There is an existing industrial MUSA that includes land on all sides of the U.S 52 and County Road 42 intersection and extends northeast to State Highway 55, and down to the SKB landfill. There is no sewer currently this far north on the west side of U S 52 Flint Hills is expected to petition for installation of the sewer to provide sewer service to all properties that is part of this application PLANNING COMMISSION At the Planning Commission meeting on March 14, 2006 the Commission discussed the comprehensive plan amendment. There were no questions by the Commussion however, one member of the pubhc requested clanfication on the uses for the three parcels that are included m the apphcation. With that clarification the Commission unanimously recommended approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Parcel 1 This lot consists of 16.4 acres of land directly west of the intersection of U.S. 52 and TH 55. The admuustration building is in the northeast corner which extends to "A" street and south to 6 Street. All of these referenced streets are private. Office space in Parcel 1 consists of 119,800 sq. ft. and approximately 200 employees are located here. Approximately 60,000 gallons of waste per month is removed from this site at this time That material is trucked up to the Metro waste treatment facility in St. Paul. Parcel 2 This area consists of approximately 10 acres of land at the southern end of Clark Road, the frontage road connecting to U. S. 52. The parcel is south of a small tank farm and west of the "flame towers It includes the former Solberg Aggregate shops, just outside of refinery activity. The intended use of this parcel would be a pump -out station. Currently, 137,225 gallons of sanitary waste (excluding the administration building area) are collected throughout the refinery and trucked to the Metro waste treatment facility m St. Paul. Eventually, the quantity of sanitary waste material coming from this pump out station would diminish, with the construction of a project intended for Parcel 3 Parcel 3 Parcel 3 is the largest lot at 40 acres. The site was previously mined by Solberg Aggregate for sand gravel. The site is at the top of a hill north of the Union Pacific railroad line that crosses U S. 52 on the west side of U.S. 52. Fhnt Hills Resources intends to construct a warehouse and maintenance facility of 122,200 sq. ft. on this site in 2008 to 2009. The estimated number of employees would be 230 The construction of the warehouse project would consohdate workers scattered throughout the refinery and reduce the amount of sanitary material going through the parcel 2 pump -out station. INDUSTRIAL POLICIES OF THE 2020 ROSEMOUNT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN In considering an amendment to the comprehensive plan, the Council should consider the industrial land use pohcies specified in the plan. The amendment is primarily consistent with the first industrial policy which is to extend urban services to a regional -scale industrial land use. The proposed amendment also follows the spirit of other policies by allowing expansion in an area where services can be available CONCLUSION Staff is comfortable in recommending approval of the Flint Hills Resources comprehensive plan amendment for sewer service or MUSA expansion. The request is consistent with apphcable policies in the comprehensive plan. There is also the added benefit of removing the truck traffic generated by the 197,225 gallons of sanitary waste currently taken to the Metro waste water treatment plant in St Paul every month.

Box 64596 Saint Paul, Minnesota 55164 651.437 0700 In response to your letter dated January 6, 2006, and per our phone conversation on 1/31 regarding Flint Hills Resources Comprehensive Plan Amendment Application 05- 61 -CP, please find enclosed with this letter (20) service maps prepared by TKDA dated Ianuary 16, 2006, depicting the proposed MUSA area for our property on a scale drawing as requested in your letter and addresses oI the bordering property owners within a quarter mile of our proposed MUSA area The service map also includes the building sizes, number of occupants in each building as well as the legal description for each area outlined on the map. In addition, a potential future pump -out station is planned to be located in PIN 34- 02400 -010- 13 Currently, sanitary waste is collected from a number of existing buildings located within the refinery, amounting to approximately 197,225 gallons per month, which is taken off -site for disposal 60,000 gallons of this 197,225 gallons will be from the admen complex and will exit directly into the new sewer fine from the administration building to the Rosemount line By adding this pump -out station, FHR would collect all sanitary waste from remaining locations within the Rosemount portion of the refinery and take to it to this station for disposal Eventually several of these in plant icfinery locations will be removed from service when we relocate our staff to the new 2008/2009 Rosemount Warehouse and Maintenance complex Some of the othei information you had requested on our 1/31/06 phone call pertained to current and proposed number of employees at the Pine Bend refinery along with total trips by delivery type vehicles The 2006 number of FHR employee's will be as high as 830, the year 2010 and beyond projections will be between 800 and 830 We have 200 -250 professional service contractors currently on site and in 2010 the numbers are projected to be very close to the same. There will also he between 500 and 1200 consti uction contractors on site depenchng on the season. however all of these employees will use portable satellite type facilities As far as dehvenes we currently see 75 -100 deliveries per day M -F and that number should be close to the same in 2010 and beyond Another note is that —275 people in the numbers above will be relocating to the new administration and coon actor management complex in Inver Grove Heights. Our best estimate at how many full time employees using the Rosemount sewer line will be 800- 850. A good reference check for total volumn of waster water genes ated will be the amount of potable water we currently consume. In closing, we anticipate reviewing the system capacity sizing requirements with your engineei ing department to verify that FHR's current and future needs are met Your timely response to this request would be greatly appreciated If you should have any questions please give me a call at (651) 437 -0762.
