EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
SUMMARY
This item was initiated by staff with the purpose of amending the General Industnal District, creating a
new Heavy Industrial District, and amendmg the definitions for Heavy Manufacturing, Outdoor
Storage /Display and Recycling Operation. It was last before the City Council during a work session on
August 9, 2 006 During that meeting, staff and the Council reviewed the proposed amendments, the
timeline for Council action, and discussed how these changes could impact existing businesses. Since that
meeting, the Planning Commission has concluded its review of the proposed ordinance amendments and
held the required pubhc hearing The Commission recommended adoption of the ordinances as provided
in the attached. This item is tentatively scheduled to go before the City Council on October 17, 2006.
Prior to the October 17th meeting, staff felt it would be prudent to review the final draft of these text
amendments from the Planning Commission as well as bnefly review the status of the rezonings of certain
properties to the Heavy Industrial designation. Most of the work up to date has dealt with the text
amendments and has not addressed any rezoning which may be necessary as a result of creating the new
Heavy Industnal distract. However, staff and the Commission have reviewed a map of potential zoning
district changes so that particular properties would be able to focus their review of the text amendments
based upon the appropriate zoning category Some businesses have expressed concern that the zoning
standards may change prior to the corresponding changes to the zoning map. The City Attorney has
advised staff that the text changes may proceed prior to any rezoning. This is a pohcy decision that the
Council can discuss. However, staff is moving the rezonings along and has scheduled a public hearing on
September 26, 2006 to discuss the rezonings It is therefore possible to bring the text amendments and
the rezonmgs to the Council on October 17, for consideration at the same meeting
Furthermore, the Planning Commission has indicated their intention to evaluate properties for rezoning
that are already zoned General Industrial. Therefore the proposed map only reflects the properties
currently zoned General Industrial but are proposed as Heavy Industrial. This is inconsistent with
requests from Flint Hills, they have asked the City process a rezoning and regrading of certain lands to
obtain a Heavy Industrial designation on certain properties in the 140` Street area, between Blaine Avenue
and Hwy 52. In fact a work task staff and the Commission need to do soon is implement the existing
Comprehensive Plan. As the Council directed, we are to look at properties on a case by case basis and
make recommendations regarding whether the property should be rezoned now to comply with the
Comprehensive Plan or wait until development or redevelopment occurs. In review of older records it
appears that this implementation process was not completed after the last 2020 Comprehensive Plan
update and there are some lands zoned industrial that are not guided for industrial land use. These
properties will be discussed as part of the implementation for the latest MUSA and Comprehensive Plan
amendment that was adopted as part of the 42/52 study.
Text Changes
The primary changes made to the text since the last work session review were items recommended by the
Planning Commission. They modified the setback standards for structures and buildings within the HI
Heavy Industrial district and also placed specific height hmitations based upon the setback. Based upon a
request of one of the owners indoor bulk material storage was added as an accessory structure m the HI
Heavy Industrial District.
From an overview standpoint, these zoning text amendments focus on updating the architectural and
outdoor storage standards as well as reallocating refining and chemical processing uses to the HI Heavy
Industrial distnct. The revised GI Distract now provides for light and medium manufacturing uses along
with warehouse, repair, and business uses that may require outdoor and vehicle trailer storage but exclude
heavy industrial uses. The revised GI District also contains new outdoor storage, outdoor equipment, and
site and building standards
By comparison, the new HI District provides for the establishment of uses that refine and store
combustible or explosive materials or blend, store, and distribute chemicals or fertilizer. This district
acknowledges that these uses may include large unscreened outdoor structures or equipment that cannot
be integrated into a building or large scale outdoor storage. In addition, uses in this distract have the
potential to generate noise, odor, vibration, illumination, or particulate that may be offensive or obnoxious
to adjacent land uses. As a result of these characteristics, these uses require large areas and setbacks as well
as significant screening and are not compatible with residential uses or high concentrations of people.
Potential Impact of these Changes
There have been concerns raised about the status of existing businesses after the adoption of the
ordinance amendments. Due to the amendments some sites may not comply with the new performance
standards found within the ordinance. However, none of the existing uses will become non conforming.
Meaning that aspects (setbacks, screening, budding materials and the like) of the site development may
become non conforming, although none of the existing business uses would become illegal under these
changes. It should be noted that some of the existing businesses currently have aspects of their operation
or development which do not comply with the existing ordinance cntena and would be considered non-
2
conforming without the proposed changes. Examples of existing non conformities are that many of the
sites do not have a 10° o building coverage on the property or do not meet the current exterior materials
standards
Under Minnesota law, existing non conforming developments at the time of the adoption of these changes
are "grandfathered in This means that the structures associated with the industrial uses may be repaired,
replaced, restored, maintained or improved "as is However, any enlargements or expansions must meet
the new performance standards (setbacks, screening, building materials and the like) Should the non-
conforming structure be destroyed by fire or other peril, even by more than 50% of the market value may
be rebuilt in its current condition if a building permit is applied for within 180 days
As mentioned previously the intent of the ordinance amendments is to have more stringent performance
standards in the mdustnal zoning districts and upgrade new developments coming into the City from some
of the current businesses. We have provided photos of the current General Industrial properties in the
community for the Council's mformanon. Whether to move fonvard on the text amendments is a pohcy
decision for the Council. If the Council is comfortable with the industrial developments resulting from the
current ordinances; the text amendments should not be adopted.
CONCLUSION
Attached for your review are draft copses of the revised GI General Industrial District, a new HI
Heavy Industnal District, new definitions for the terms Heavy Manufacturing, Outdoor Storage /Display,
and Recycling Operation, as well as a map illustrating how the current GI Distract could be reallocated
based on the uses and performance standards outlined m these districts. These zoning text amendments
focus on updating architectural and outdoor storage standards as well as reallocating refuting and chemical
processing uses to the HI Heavy Industrial district.
Prior to formal action by the Council, staff felt it would be prudent to review the final draft of these text
amendments and survey the Council on the process for any associated rezoning which may be necessary as
a result of these text changes. At the last work session, it was indicated that there may be some questions
about the proposal. The questions were more policy in nature and are reflected m the text above. The
only modifications to the ordinance drafts ate based upon Commission direction.

CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MEETING
AUGUST 9, 2006
2.A. Industrial Districts Zoning Text Amendment for the GI- General Industrial and
HI -Heavy Industrial District
Community Development Director Lindquist brought the item forward to the City Council
to ensure the members were comfortable with the amendment as it moves through the
Planning Commission and Council review process Ms. Lindquist noted several business
owners have submitted comments during the planning process related to the text
amendment. The creation of the Heavy Industrial district was intended to be a fall-back for
properties that would no longer fit under the General Industrial zoning standards. She
noted the primary issues to consider with the Heavy Industrial district is uses pernutted
include buildings or equipment and equipment also becomes a principal use on the site. Ms.
Lindquist stated the second part of the public hearing on the text amendment will be held on
August 22, 2006.
Ms Lindquist outlined the five main issues inclusion of three businesses in the heavy
industrial distnct, setback standards, height standards, map changes; and defrmuon of a
recycling operation. Ms. Lindquist also explained the process m bringing the rezoning and
comprehensive plan amendments that would require Met Council approval.
Mayor Droste expressed concern with the height of the stacks and the possibility of having
different requirements on the east side of Highway 52 for properties along the bluff area,
near the Mississippi River. Ms. Lindquist stated the much of the area along the bluff is
zoned general industrial and the height restriction is 75 feet.
Council Member Sterner questioned the setbacks for outdoor storage and how the setback
may hmit current business owners. Ms. Lindquist stated the intent of staff and Planning
Commission was to limit the outdoor storage because under the current ordinance there
were very loose standards Discussion ensued regarding accessory structure setbacks and
required screening. Council Member DeBettigmes reviewed the standards asking for
clarification Ms Lindquist stated the primary object is to screen the outside storage from
the public right -of -way
Council Member Sterner stated his concerns with the text amendment and the affect on
current businesses. Ms Lindquist recognized that there will be components of businesses
that will be nonconforming; however, currently there are nonconforming businesses under
the current standards. The intent of the ordinance amendments is to upgrade standards so
that future development will be different than the some of the existing.
Ms. Lindquist stated the item is tentatively scheduled to go to the City Council on September
26` The City Council suggested bringing the item back at the September work session to
address Council Member Sterner's concerns and staff would also provide information on the
amount of undeveloped and in the general industrial district. City Council was directed to
bring any additional issues to Ms. Lindquist pnor to the August 22, 2006 Planning
Commission meeting
Scott Doman, Plant Manager, CF Industries, Inc 5300 Pine Bend Trail, Rosemount, stated
CF Industries may possibly build a warehouse but with the spht in zoning districts on their
property feels growth may be limited.

PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING
AUGUST 22, 2006
5.c. 06 -33 -TA General Industrial Text Amendment. This item represents the continuation
of the public hearing which began on July 25, 2006 regarding amending the General Industrial
District, creating a new Heavy Industrial District, and amending the definitions for Heavy
Manufacturing, Outdoor Storage /Display and Recycling Operation During that meeting, the
Commission heard a presentation from staff regarding the remaining outstanding issues, took
comments from the public, and directed staff to meet with individual property owners to aid in
addressing their concerns. The Commission also upheld staff's recommendations regarding the
following issues:
1. Include CF Industries, Continental Nitrogen, and Dixie,Petro Chemical m the Heavy
Industrial District.
2. Maintain the proposed 300 foot setback but incorporate staggered setback standards based
on the height of the applicable structure.
3. Maintain the proposed 200 foot maximum height standard with additional height possible
through a conditional use perrmt.
4. Defer rezoning of properties to the draft Heavy Industrial zoning boundary until completion
of the text amendment process. Rezonings will be initiated as implementation of the
Comprehensive Plan
5. Amend the definition of Recycling Operation to exclude businesses that use recycled
materials to manufacture a fuushed product.
Since the July meeting, staff has met with representatives from CF Industries, Flint Hills
Resources and Continental Nitrogen and resolved issues related to including CF Industries,
Continental Nitrogen, and Dixie Petro Chemical in the Heavy Industrial District, potential
changes to the draft Heavy Industrial zoning boundary, and the definition of a Recycling
Operation. However, many of these same businesses are still concerned with the proposed
setback and height standards. Planner Lindahl further reviewed comments from specific
industrial companies and how the changes m the ordinances would affect them Mr Lindahl
also reviewed the City Council discussion during a work session on August 9, 2006.
Mr. Lindahl provided to the Commission draft copies of the revised GI General Industrial
District, a new HI Heavy Industrial District, new definitions for the terms Heavy
Manufacturing, Outdoor Storage, and Recycling Operation, as well as a map illustrating how the
current GI District could be reallocated based on the uses and performance standards outlined
in these districts. The Plannuig Commission held a public hearing to review these items on July
25, 2006 and the City Council reviewed the text during a work session on August 9, 2006. While
staff has worked with local businesses to resolve most of the outstanding issues related to the
text changes, the final muumum setbacks and maximum height standards remain unsettled.
Both CF Industries and Flint Hills Resources have submitted written proposals for these
standards which are attached for your review By comparison, staff recommends the staggered
setbacks outlined above and maintauung the 300 foot setback and 200 height standards. Staff
requests direction from the Commission regarding the setback and height proposals and
recommends forwarding the draft ordinances onto the City Council with a recommendation for
approval There were no formal questions received from the Council for Plannmg Commission
consideration.
Mr. Lindahl pointed out proposed setback lines on the maps provided to the Commission for
each business that has the potential to be included in the heavy industrial district.
Chairperson Messner opened the public heating.
Don Kern, Flint Hills Resources, 12555 Clark Road, Rosemount, Minnesota, approached the
Commission and provided an additional setback and height requirement diagram and an
equipment diagram showing the height of current structures describing how the text amendment
would affect their business. Commissioner Palda questioned the height and location of future
tanks on the site.
Mr. Walter Rockenstein, Faegre Benson, 2200 Wells Fargo Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota,
representing Fhnt Hills Resources approached the Commission. They were under the
impression that at the same time the Commission set forth the text amendments, rezoning
would be done at the same time. Since this is not the case, this causes great concern for Flint
Hills. If the zoning text changes, they are now defined in a different zone but are not actually
zoned in that district. Expansion would be impossible. They would like the Planning
Commission's recommendation to the City Council to include rezoning.
Ms. Lindquist confirmed to the Commission that the City Council has the ability to address Mr.
Rockenstem's rezoning issues at a future work session.
Tom Mollet, CF Industries, Inc., 5300 Pine Bend Trail„ Rosemount, Minnesota 55068,
approached the Commission and introduced Timothy Keane, of Leonard, Street Deinard, 150
South Fifth Street, Suite 2300, Minneapolis, MN 55402, representing CF Industries Mr Keane
stressed the history of CF Industries and the importance of the business m the commumty He
agreed with Mr. Rockenstem that the text amendment without the zoning amendment creates a
difficulty for CF Industries as well. Mr. Keane reviewed the items contained m the letter
submitted to the Commission by Leonard, Street Demard.
Tim Erkkila, Westwood Professional, 7599 Anagram Drive, Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55344,
approached the Commission. Mr Erkkila reminded the Commission that the proposed HI
zoning line falls in the middle of the CF Industries site They would like their entire site
included under one zoning district. Then second issue was the proposed setback language
would create a 300 foot setback within then site plus an additional 50 foot setback Their third
issue was with respect to the graphic to the zoning and general industrial line. Chairperson
Messner asked if Mr. Erkkila had a map of all sites that are owned by CF Industries and Mr.
Erkk presented one for viewing Chairperson Messner questioned which bulk matenals run
through CF Industries and how much outdoor storage they have. Mr Mollet replied that CF
Industries has worked with crushed granite, golf course sand, pieces of equipment for Flint Hills
Resources through the barge area, and recently, stored pipe for the water line He replied that
CF Industries presently has no outdoor storage unless they obtain a conditional use permit
Chairperson Messner suggested it would be easier if there was one tax parcel with one tax
owner. He is concerned that m a multi- parcel situation, in the event part of the parcel is sold at
a later date and if it is then zoned heavy industrial, then any new user would be able to set up a
business under the heavy industrial zoning
MOTION by Messner to close the Public Hearing. Second by Schultz.
Ayes: All. Nays None Motion approved. Public hearing was closed at 8:06 p.m.
The main points for discussion were structural height limitation, building height requirement,
setback requirements, and the defuution of bulk materials.
With respect to the structural height limitation, Chairperson Messner stated there is no reason
why they picked 200 feet. The Commission agreed that given the amount of equipment received
at Fhnt Hills and other businesses, the structural height hnutauon could be increased to 250 feet,
and anything beyond would require a conditional use permit.
With respect to the building height requirement, the Commission agreed that it would remain at
75 feet and anything higher would require a conditional use permit.
The Commission agreed on the following setback requirements: (how many tax parcels in
Flint Hills owns 6 -8 within the main refinery, approximately 50 total owned) 75 -150 foot
setback. less than or equal to 20 feet to height limitation Lindquist stated that 150 -300 foot
setback is more important than the 35 -75 height limitation. If we change the setback
requirements, would screening have to be changed also. Messner okay with 35 feet (75 -150
feet) Commission agreed.
Height of Structure
Less than or equal to 20
20 35 feet
35 50 feet (35 for tanks)
50 200 feet
Setback Standard
75 feet
75 feet
150 feet.
300 feet
Anything over 200 would require a CUP.
Chairperson Messner stated bulk materials are to be included as an accessory use. Mr. Lindahl
commented that aggregate or sand would be similar to aggregate production and would be
allowed as a conditional use under the heavy industrial ordinance as it is wntten.
Chairperson Messner stated that on sideyard setback requirements with respect to common
ownership, property should be owned as one big tax parcel as opposed to multiple tax parcels.
Mr. Lindahl confirmed business owners could combine multiple parcels and subdivide without
City approval pursuant to state statute. This would be a benefit to the property owners and
would elmimate the setback problem within their parcels.
Commissioner Schwartz stated that screening requirements for public right -of -ways such as T.H.
55 should be increased It was mentioned that there are other side roads that would be subject
to those conditions and would therefore change the setback standards for those roads and
businesses as well.
The Commission decided to move the Text Amendment item forward to the City Council
without making a recommendation for rezoning on any particular properties. The City Council
can decide to rezone before approving the text amendments.
Commissioner Schultz stated she does not feel comfortable with the 50 foot height requirements
thinking that 60 feet is a better number. However, the Commission agreed to stay with 50 feet.
MOTION by Commissioner Messner to recommend the City Council approve the revised draft
Ordinances amending Section 11- 4 -16 -1 (General Industrial District), Section 11- 4 -16 -2 (Heavy
Industrial Distract), and Section 11 -1 -1 (Definitions for Heavy Manufacturng, Outdoor
Storage /Display, and Recycling Operation)
Second by Schwartz.
Ayes. All. Nays: None. Motion approved.

RE: CF Industries Objections to the City of Rosemount Case No. 06 -33 -TA "Industrial Districts
Zoning Text Amendment for the GI— General Industrial and HI —Heavy Industrial
District" (the "Text Amendments')
Our File No. 52478.00024
On behalf CF Industries, Inc. "CFI we are sending you this letter as a follow up to our meeting with
Jason Lindahl on Monday, August 14. 2006, at which time we received the revised Text Amendments (a
marked -up copy is attached) We have reviewed the revised Text Amendments and, in addition to those
objections raised in our correspondence to you dated July 10, 2006, we have the following objections:
Rosemount Zoning Ordinance B, Section 11 14 "Heavy Manufacturing The proposed definition
of `Heavy Manufactunng" should be revised as follows:
The refinement and storage of raw or unprocessed materials into a finished product which
may be combustible or explosive as well as chemical,. bulk material or fertilizer
blending, storage and or distnbution.
CFI respectfully requests that "bulk material" be added to this definition in order to accommodate its
business plans to expand its operations in the tuture. Additionally, the word "and" should be changed to
"or" because in some cases, CFI does not "blend" its products—it merely stores or distributes them. As
currently drafted, CFI would need to blend, store and distribute all of its products in order to meet the
definition of "Heavy Manufactunng' This revision would be consistent with the current language in (3)
of the definition of "Outdoor Storage/Display
Rosemount Zoning Ordinance B, Section 6.16 "11 4 16 2: HI Heavy Industrial District For the
same reason, the proposed "HI, Heavy Industrial Distract" should be revised as follows
11- 4- 16 -2(M. Purpose and Intent The purpose of the HI, Heavy Industrial District is to provide for
the establishment of uses that refine and store combustible or explosive materials or blend, store and or
distribute chemicals bulk material or fertilizer.

should be added to this paragraph For purposes of Section C(3)(h)(1) and (2) "public right of way'
shall not include collector roads or navigable waterways. Given the remote location and natural

Height 75 feet (The City Council May Allow Principal or Accessory
Buildings to Exceed this Height Through issuance of a Conditional Use Permit.)"
11 4 16 2(G): "Site and Building Standards" The following sentence should be added to this
paragraph "This Section 11 4 16 2(G) does not apply to buildings used for a principal use." As
presently drafted, there is an ambiguity as to whether this section only applies to accessory, conditional or
interim uses or if the intent is to include principal uses.
11 4 16 1: GI General Industrial District CFI restates its previous objections to the General industrial
District and is proceeding with the desire that all of the CFI property be classified as Heavy industrial.
The primary reason for this is revealed in the "Purpose and Intent" of the General Industrial District,
which provides: "The Gi, General Industrial Distnct is the preferred transition distnct between the Heavy
Industrial District and may be compatible with residential uses or include relatively higher on -site
populations
CFI has been open and honest with the City about its operations throughout this process. CFI has invited
city staff, planning commissioners, city coucilmembers and the mayor to tour its facility and to see its
operations firsthand. We have provided you with Material Safety Data Sheets outlining the chemicals
used in its operations. Based on the facts, it is axiomatic that CFI's current operation and planned future
expansion are incompatible with residential uses or Higher on -site populations The reason that CFI owns
382 acres is to insulate Itself from incompatible non -heavy industrial uses (such as residential) and to
have room to expand its operations in the future CFI will strenuously resist any attempt to classify its

Flint Hills Resources, LP appreciates the thorough approach you have taken to the
proposed changes in the City's industrial zoning ordinances We especially value the
creation of a new Heavy Industrial (HI) District to accommodate the Pine Bend Refinery
and other heavy industnal users As we proceed to City Council consideration of these
ordinance changes, Flint Hills makes two requests of vital importance to the ongoing
operation and future expansion of the Refinery.
First, Flint Hills asks that the City Council not adopt the proposed ordinance changes
(either the new HT Distract ordinance or changes to the General Industry (GI) District
ordinance) until the ordinance rezoning properties to the HI District can be adopted
simultaneously If the zoning ordinance amendments are adopted first, then Flint Hills
and other heavy mdustnes may become legal nonconforming users in the GI District and,
if that happens, may not be able to expand their businesses until their properties are
rezoned to the HI District. Flint Hills has 30 -plus projects under construction, scheduled,
and planned over the next 6 months, many arguably involving Refinery expansion. Flint
Hills cannot afford uncertainty about whether these projects can proceed.
Second, Flint Hills asks that the City rezone property owned by Flint Hills just north of
140th Street and west of Blaine Avenue (South Parcels) to the HI District. The South
Parcels are shown on Exhibit A Land Use Comp Plan attached. (As you know, several
of these parcels have not been shown as rezoned to the HI District on the preliminary
rezoning maps distributed at Plauung Commission meetings.)
Flmt Hills makes this request now because rezoning these Parcels necessitates notice of a
minor Comprehensive Plan change for South Parcels at the same time the City notices the
Hl rezoning ordinance to avoid delays in the rezoning process The South Parcels are
currently guided AG- Agriculture and m one case GI- General Industrial as also shown on
Jason Lindahl, AICP
September 6, 2006
Page 2
Exhibit A. They are currently zoned a mix of AGP- Agricultural Preserve, GI- General
Industrial, and AG- Agriculture as shown on Exhibit B Zoning Map. Exhibit C
Industrial Districts (Draft) shows the rezoning requested by Flint Hills. The current
zoning, the zoning requested by Flint Hills, and the prelmmnary rezoning maps prepared
by City staff all conflict with the Land Use Comp Plan, so a Comprehensive Plan change
should be completed with the rezoning.
Why does Flint Hills continue to seek an HI District designation for the South Parcels?
Early m this mdustrial district zoning process, City staff asked Flint Hills to identify the
expected future limits of the Pine Bend Refinery and not to overreach as it did so. City
staff also asked that the Refinery boundary be kept east of Rich Valley Boulevard and
Blaine Avenue Flint Hills understood these limits would be respected in the subsequent
mdustnal distribt zoning process So Flint Hills carefully considered this request and
provided a map that included the South Parcels and did not show any Refinery
development west of Rich Valley Boulevard or Blame Avenue. To keep the Pine Bend
Refinery east of Rich Valley Boulevard and Blaine Avenue, Flint Hills must be able to
expand south onto the South Parcels.
If you have any questions concerning these requests, please call me
Sincerely,
Diane S Koebele

On July 13, 2006 we met with Eric Zweber and Jason Lindahil of the City Staff in connection with the
proposed text amendments to the General Industrial Zone As you may recall, during the Planning
Commission Workshops we discussed several issues with you regarding our operations which we will
cover below.
The first issue is how the defmition of recycling operations may or may not affect Endres Processing's
use as a permitted use in the proposed new revised zoning ordinance uses.
As you know, Endres Processing refines, compounds, stores, and processes organic materials or
products from raw or unprocessed food wastes and grains such as wheat, corn, barley and other organic
products. We understand that based on conversations and the discussion by the Planning Commission
and by staff that the Endres Processing operations "Processing Facility would not be considered a
"Recycling Operation" in the context of the zoning text changes. Consequently, the use classification
would continue as manufacturing and a permitted use.
We believe that a text amendment to the definition of "recycling operation" would clarify the intent of
the City and help Endres and other manufacturers who in the manufacturing process, use "recycled"
materials and processes these materials into a new product.
To that end, we would like to propose the following text amendment to the definition of recycling
operation as defined in Section 11 -1 -4 of the Rosemount City Code. The current definition reads as
follows
"RECYCLING OPERATION• an area where used, waste, discarded or salvaged materials are
bought, sold, exchanged, stored, baled, cleaned, packed, disassembled or handled, including,
but not luntted to, scrap iron, and other metals, paper, rags, bottles and lumber."
We would like the definition to be amended to read as follows:

"RECYCLING OPERATION: an area where used, waste, discarded or salvaged materials
are bought, sold, exchanged, stored, baled, cleaned, packed, disassembled or handled,
including, but not limited to, scrap iron, and other metals, paper, rags, bottles and lumber.
This definition specifically excludes manufacturers whose operations result in the manufacture
or production of new products."
While we respect the City's desire to make the traditional recycling operations, salvage yards and scrap
yards as a conditional use, we do not believe our operations are the type of operations you are trying to
address with the ordinance. The difference we think can be addressed by changing the defuution. We
want to make certain the current use continues as a permitted use. We would request that you send to
us a letter confirming the City's position that the Processing Facility is not a "recycling operation"
Second, as you know we are finalizing the plat of Endres Properties Second Addition. That plat
creates three lots two lots along the highway (Lots 1 and 2, Block 1) and a third lot which is the
current Endres Processing Facility (Lot 3, Block 1). Our comments regarding this proceeding are
addressed in a companion letter. However, it was interesting to us to have our plat approval process on
a nearly parallel path with the proposed zoning changes both of which actions have a significant
impact on our property, the operations of our Processing Facility and the future growth and
development of our business in Rosemount.
Since 1997, with the help of the City through the establishment of the Endres Tax Increment Financing
District (the "TIF District") to its current operations, we have seen a steady growth of our business. It
is within that context that we looked at how the changes to the ordinance will affect our future growth.
We started wondering whether our long -range plans for the business operations would fit with the
inclusion of the Endres processing plant within the newly defused General Industrial "GI District,
and more specifically, if our operations were more aligned with the definition of heavy manufacturing
rather than medium manufactruing (as that set of uses is defined in the new ordinance). We addressed
that concern with you at several of the workshops. Each time both the staff and the Flaming
Commission have concluded that our operations do not constitute the uses contemplated by the new
ordinance definition of Heavy Manufacturing.
While we believe that the two highway parcels will be properly included in the new GI district, we
believe, as several of our industrial neighbors have indicated to the City and that our operations at the
Processing Facility might fall more directly under the defuution of Heavy Manufacturing, we are
willing to proceed in the General Industrial classification based upon the following understandings
with the City.
1. Currently, Endres Processing manufactures organic product which is used for poultry and hog
feed. However, our current research and development are leading us to believe that these same
raw organic products in the future could be processed into fuel products. We are asking that
the City recognize that we have addressed this potential future use at this time.
2. In the redefined GI District we will have two conditions which will be affected and probably
create non conformities These are both conditions germane to our heavier industrial
operational needs and will need to be addressed by the City as it changes the ordinance.
Ms. Kim Lindquist

(a) The first relates to the new General Industrial District height limitation of 70 feet. We
currently have elevators, tanks and bins exceeding the 70 foot limitation. These
structures are integral to our business operations. We anticipate we may need other
structures which will be of similar or greater height. We believe the height should be
related to the pre existing operational needs of the business. These structures are
typical and necessary conditions m our industry. We have discussed this concern with
staff and they have suggested Endres seek a variance. We are requesting that the City
respond in writing that this is the correct procedure for the current and the future
conditions.
(b)
The second condition relates to the limitation of outdoor structures to 15% of the floor
area of the building. Currently, Endres has outdoor structures which would measure
nearly 100% of the building floor area. These large unscreened outdoor structures
include conveyor belt systems, storage silos, tanks, a bag house filter system, tube and
shell heat exchanger and a bio mass burner. These outdoor structures are not able to be
integrated into the building design as the operation of these structures demand the
operational separation outside. Similarly this condition might create a non conformity
under the new GI Distract.
We would like the City to address in writing that the Processing Facility use and operating conditions,
including the height, outdoor structures, outside storage and other conditions are permitted uses and if
a non conformity exists, the procedure to establish conformity is a variance and that similarly, this
condition, in any event, would not be viewed negatively m any variance or future conditional use
request proceeding.
It is our hope that the City's efforts to provide standardization and uniformity in the zoning process
will not result m the restriction of the ability of our business and the businesses of our industrial
neighbors to operate in the manner necessary for their continued industrial growth and the continued
growth and development of the City of Rosemount.
