Motion to approve the Planned Unit Development Final Site and Building Plan
agreement for Feed Products North, LLC and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to
enter into the Agreement.
ISSUE
Feed Products North, Inc. has purchased approximately 25 acres of the former Continental Nitrogen
Resources (CNR) property located on the southeast corner of US Highway 52 and MN Highway 55.
Feed Products wholesales fertilizer and repackages fertilizer and soil additives for retail sale. Feed
Products purchased three buildings from CNR and is proposing to construct a concrete dome for
additional fertilizer storage. The proposed dome location is in the southeast corner of their site and is
within 300 foot setback required in the HI: Heavy Industrial zone. Feed Products is requesting a
planned unit development (PUD) which would include reduced south and east setbacks to allow for
the dome construction.
SEPTEMBER 27 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing during their September 27 meeting. No
residents were present to speak at the public hearing.
The Planning Commission discussed three topics: explosion hazards, dust control, and stormwater
management. Staff and the applicant explained the ammonium sulfate being stored on site is not
explosive, while ammonium nitrate (which will not be store at the site) is explosive. Staff and the
applicant explained that dust could be generated in the processing when material is dumped out the
bottom of the train car onto the conveyor or when it is dumped from the hopper into the truck. The
applicant explained that this transport system is an improvement over the existing storage in the A-
frame where dust is generated by the front -end loader moving the product or the wind blowing
through the A- frame. Staff explained that a number of the stormwater issues result from the new
property line that do not follow the drainage boundaries and staff is working with the neighbors
(Yocum and Hawkins) to address all parties' stormwater issues.
, The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the PUD for Feed Products.
BACKGROUND
Feed Products has purchased approximately 25 acres of property from CNR that contains an 81,684
square foot A -frame storage building, a 64,838 square foot packaging and warehouse building, and a
10,687 square foot storage building. Feed Products wholesales fertilizer and repackages fertilizer
and soil additives for retail sale. The site is approximately 1,000 feet wide by 1,300 feet deep which
is generally the eastern third of the former CNR site. While the site has about 750 feet of frontage
on MN Highway 55, they do not have a direct access onto the highway. The access to the site is
through the Hawkins property to the west. A dedicated access to Feed Products to the frontage
road between US Highway 52 and MN Highway 55 will be constructed with the development of the
Hawkins site. There is a rail line that runs east to west between the A -frame and the other two
buildings. The Feed Products site was not created by a City plat approval, but was instead created
through a platting exception in the State Statute that allows the splitting of industrial property
without City approval if the resulting properties are larger than 5 acres in size. Because the property
was created through this platting exemption, setbacks for structures could not be addressed during
the plat.
Feed Products is requesting a planned unit development to relax the setback requirements on the
south and east property lines to allow for the construction of a 188 foot diameter by 53 foot tall
fertilizer storage dome. The rail loading conveyor structure on top of the dome will be 65 feet tall
and the truck loading conveyor will be 75 feet tall. The north property line is MN Highway 55, the
west property is shared with Hawkins and Rosemount Distribution (Yocum Oil); both similar heavy
industrial uses. The property line to the east is shared with the former Flint Hills acid plant and is
currently occupied by a rail car repair business and an interim asphalt plant. Because of the three
adjoining uses, staff does not believe there would be any adverse impact in reducing the south and
east setbacks to 75 feet for all structures under 250 feet tall. For the purposes of the Zoning Code,
this storage dome will be classified as a storage structure similar to a tank because it will not have
employees normally working within it and would only contain a single product.
Surrounding Land Uses: North: Heavy Industrial
East: General Industrial
South: Heavy Industrial
West: Heavy Industrial
Existing Zoning District: HI: Heavy Industrial
Proposed Zoning District: HI: Heavy Industrial Planned Unit Development
Required Setbacks:
Structures up to 35 feet talk 75 feet
Buildings up to 50 feet and Tanks 35 feet and below: 150 feet
Structures up to 250 feet tall 300 feet
Proposed South and East Setbacks for All Structures
(250 feet and under): 75 feet
6i
SUMMARY
Dome Design
The proposed dome is made of cast in place concrete with a covering of insulation and a fabric
cover. The dome is 188 feet in diameter and 56 feet tall. The proposed location of the dome would
be 135 feet from the east property line and 82 feet from the south property line. The code
requirement for a storage structure over 35 feet in height is 300 feet. The applicant is requesting a
planned unit development to allow deviation from these setback requirements. Staff has
recommended a condition that would allow a 75 foot setback from the south and the east property
line for all building and structures up to 35 feet in height, including tanks.
Since the dome is a storage structure similar to a tank and does not meet the Code definition of a
building, then the dome does not need to address the building material standards of the ordinance.
The concrete dome would have met the masonry requirement of the Code, but would not meet the
facade variation requirements.
Mechanical Equipment
The proposed dome would be supported by two mechanical conveyors. A 65 foot tall conveyor
would carry incoming product from the rail car into the dome. A 75 foot tall conveyor will
transport the outgoing product from the dome to semi - trailers. Both structures would need the
same setback deviation proposed for the dome.
Landscaping and Tree Preservation
Feed Products has proposed the installation of 56 deciduous trees along the north side of their new
access road spaced at a minimum of 50 feet apart. Staff believes that this would be the best location
for providing screening, but 26 of the 56 trees would be located on the Hawkins property. The
Feed Products frontage on MN Hwy 55 is will landscaped and moving the 26 trees onto the Feed
Products property would not improve the screening. Staff is recommending the approval of the
landscaping the locations proposed provided that Hawkins provide a letter that they are supportive
of the landscaping on their property and accept the maintenance and replacement responsibilities for
the next three years.

Development Area
Standard
I Requirement
165,486 S . Ft.

Access and Drives
Access to the site comes through the Hawkins site. The existing drive north of the rail line is paved
with bituminous without curbing. The drive south of the rail line to the A -frame is gravel. To bring
the site into compliance, the new access drive will need to paved and curbed to the site through
Hawkins and pave and curb the gravel area that the trucks would use associated with the dome. The
proposed plan paves the area between the rail line on the north, the A -frame on the south, the A-
frame load out on the west, and the dome load out on the east. This design installs a hammer head
turn around for both the A -frame and Dome load outs. The plan proposes curbing around the
entire hammerhead with catch basins on the south side to collect the storm water.
3
Utilities
Feed Products has constructed a direct connection to the water trunk line along MN Highway 55
this summer. Sanitary sewer will be extended to the Feed Products property line during the
Hawkins development. City Code requires that Feed Products hook up to this sewer line within ten
years.
The stormwater system for the new access road and storage dome is shown on the plans and some
comments on those ponds are contained within the City Engineer's memorandum. The applicant
will need to work with the City to address issues that will result during the construction of their
access road through Hawkins and issues that arise from shared drainage areas with Hawkins and
Rosemount Distribution.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff has prepared a recommendation of approval for the PUD and the PUD agreement.

EXCERPT DRAFT MINUTES
PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING
SEPTEMBER 27, 2011
a. Feed Products Planned Unit Development Final Development Plan and Lot Split (11- 28 -FDP).
Senior Planner Zweber stated that Feed Products North, Inc., located at 13095 Courthouse Blvd, is
proposing to construct an 88 foot radius concrete dome to store fertilizer. Feed Products is
requesting a planned unit development (PUD) to deviate from the 300 foot setback standards to
locate the dome a minim of 75 feet from the south and east property lines. The public hearing for
this item was opened at the August 23, 2011, meeting and continued to allow Feed Products to submit
complete plans. Mr. Zweber reviewed the staff report and the applicant's plans.
Applicant was present but did not speak.
The public hearing was re- opened at 6:47p.m.
There were no public comments.
MOTION by Irving to close the public hearing.
Second by Demuth.
Ayes: 7. Nays: None. Motion approved. Public hearing was closed at 6:48p.m.
Commissioner DiNella asked if there was any concern about the explosive dangers of ammonium
sulfate. Mr. Zweber responded that ammonium nitrate is the chemical used in explosives and that
ammonium sulfate is relatively safe. He further stated that staff has discussed it with the fire
marshal and he does not have any issues.
Commissioner Miller asked what steps were taken for dust suppression and whether or not there
will be any monitoring of the site. Mr. Zweber stated that the unloading would be done through the
bottom of railcars, the loading through a hopper right into the trucks and the dome is completely
sealed off, so he is unaware of any other technology that would further prevent dust from escaping.
He further stated that there have not been any discussions regarding monitoring the site for dust
suppression.
Chairperson Powell invited the applicant to address the questions asked by the Commissioners.
Applicant, John Fallin of Feed Products North, approached the Commission and stated that
ammonium nitrate is the dangerous chemical used in explosives. He stated ammonium sulfate is
stored currently on site and has been for 15 years, but that now they are improving the facility's
storage containment and unloading and handling the material by creating the dome. He further
stated that they are creating new handling equipment which should help with dust suppression.
Commissioner Miller asked the applicant if there would be vapor barriers installed and whether or
not any of the surrounding properties should be concerned with exposure. Mr. Fallin responded
they have made improvements to decrease the amount of dust that escapes but the product
generates a low amount of dust. He stated their plant in Maplewood is surrounded by R1 and R3
zoning districts and they have had no concerns or issues from the neighbors. With respect to the
vapor barriers, Mr. Doug Rohkohl, engineer on the project from VAA, LLC, approached and stated
that in their soil boring investigations, they did not run into the water table at the point of 25 feet. If
the water table was at or near the bottom of the receiving pit, they would have a vapor barrier
installed, but ground water was not observed in any of the borings.
Commissioner Miller then asked the applicant if they were comfortable with the security at the site.
Mr. Fallin replied that they have a fence around the property, it is gated and the site is videotaped.
Chairperson Powell asked whether or not the stormwater requirements would require the applicant
to significantly alter their proposed site plan. Project Engineer Olson stated with respect to the
proposal for the dome and road, there is additional information required to confirm the design. He
further stated that based on the approximate layout and sizes, it appears they will meet the
stormwater requirements but they do need to provide additional submittals. Mr. Olson stated that
the remaining comments are regarding the driveway access and the applicant would be required to
store the quality and quantity of the runoff of the driveway on their property. The Hawkins site
plan has already accounted for the water drainage runoff for the driveway on the Hawkins side and
in this design they have included the entire drainage so that would need to be revised, but it appears
that if they slide the ponds over, the design would work. Mr. Zweber provided a background of the
engineering memo comments with respect to the drainage basins between the Hawkins and Feed
Products sites.
Chairperson Powell asked if all industrial applicants meet with the Fire Marshal and /or Fire
Department to go through the site. Mr. Zweber stated that is generally the practice and has
occurred with both Hawkins and Feed Products.
MOTION by Ege to recommend approval of the Planned Unit Development Final Site & Building
Plan, subject to the following conditions:
1. The setback to the south property line and the east property line for structures less than 250
feet tall shall be 75 feet.
2. Submission of a Landscape Plan that fulfills the requirements of the equivalent of 66 caliper
inches of trees. Trees should be concentrated along the north street frontages in the
location of the water main construction with a minim spacing of one tree per 50 feet and
along the east property line.
3. Paving and curbing of the entire gravel area between the rail lines to the north, the A -frame
building to the south, the A -frame load out to the west and the dome load out to the east.
4. Removal of the proposed 150 foot diameter storage dome on the north side of the site
because it does not meet the 300 foot setback requirement from Minnesota Highway 55.
Compliance with the comments and conditions within the City Engineer's Memorandum
dated September 21, 2011.
Second by DiNella.
Ayes: 7. Nays: None. Motion approved.
Commissioner Miller asked staff if there were any concerns that the applicant and neighboring
properties may not agree with the stormwater management requirements. Mr. Olson confirmed that
the applicant will be able to provide a design that will meet the requirements. Mr. Zweber added
that all three properties owners are applying for permits at the same time and that in the approval of
those permits, the joint stormwater issues will need to be addressed.
Provided that the applicant provides the additional information required in the recommended
action, Mr. Zweber stated this item will go before the City Council on October 18, 2011.

RE: Feed Products North Proposed Facility Expansion
Upon review of the Feed Products North Proposed Facility Expansion provided for review by
VAA, LLC. on behalf of Feed Products North, the Engineering Department offers the following
comments:
SUBMITTAL:
Prepared by VAA, LLC., the Feed Products North Proposed Facility Expansion, dated October 4,
2011, was received October 5, 2011. The review comments were generated from the following
documents included in the submittal:
• Plan, dated October 4, 2011, including:
• Site Plan, Sheet PSP1
• Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control Plan, Sheet C2.0 — C2.2
• Landscape Plan, Sheet EX3 — EX3 -1
• Proposed Drainage Exhibit, Sheet EX2
• Plan, dated September 7, 2011, including:
• Overall Existing Conditions Plan, Sheet C1.0
• Enlarged Existing Conditions Plan, Sheet C1.1 — C1.2
• Plan and Profile, Sheet C3.0
o Civil Details, Sheet C4.0
• Site Plan Review and PUD Final Development Plan Application Submittal, Revised
September 7, 2011.
• Geotechnical Investigation, 36 sheets, dated July 2010.
• Stormwater Model, 26 sheets, dated September 7, 2011.
• Existing Drainage Patterns, 1 sheet
• Existing Drainage Exhibit, 1 sheet, dated September 7, 2011.
• NURP Pond Design and Landscape Methodology, 3 sheets
• Existing Drainage Stormwater Model, 9 sheets, dated September 7, 2011.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
• It is our understanding that the access driveway is currently being planned and designed by
Roseport Resources. Additional information and coordination is required for the approval of
the proposed access driveway. The comments included with this memo refer to the
proposed tank, parking area, and adjacent stormwater pond improvements.
Based on the most recent submittal, it is not clear if the stormwater management plan meets
the City regulations for rate control. The retention of the runoff volume from the 100 -year
24 -hour event could not be verified from the stormwater modeling. The stormwater plan is
required to be resubmitted to show that the plan meets the requirements outlined in the
Engineering Guidelines.
• The infiltration regulations are being met by the proposed design for only the proposed
dome and parking lot. The plan proposes to infiltrate the runoff from the new impervious
area consisting of 0.951 acres on the south side of the site. The infiltration surface area of
11,500 square feet is necessary to infiltrate 1/12 acre -foot per acre per day from the new
dome and parking lot only. The surface area at elevation 898 of the south infiltration cell
west of the treatment cell meets the City requirements. The design had previously proposed
to reduce the infiltration area in half based on a 2 foot depth in the infiltration area. This
approach would not have meet the City regulations as outlined in the SWMP or Engineering
Guidelines.
• The proposed storm sewer design calculations and map should be provided for review. The
storm sewer design for the parking lot should meet the City of Rosemount regulations.
• The three properties that were created from the split of the Continental Nitrogen site
contain existing drainage patterns that do not meet the City's stormwater regulations. Each
of the property owners should understand that these drainage patterns will existing until
each of the sites are fully redeveloped and are required to meet the City's stormwater
requirements.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN:
• The south pond storm water storage input does not define if both cells are being simulated.
It is requested that each cell of the south pond be used in the storm water model input to
separate the NURP treatment cell from the infiltration cell.
The south pond outlet to the infiltration cell should be added to the plan. The outlet from
the treatment cell to the infiltration cell should provide for skimming of debris and
floatables.
The outlet control structure from the treatment cell to the south should include a sluice gate
and weir wall to retain the runoff volume from the developing area. It is recommended that
the control structure be designed to allow for the increase in height of the interior weir wall
to retain additional volume on site as redevelopment or improvements occur.
EXISTING CONDITIONS PLAN, GRADING, DRAINAGE, AND EROSION CONTROL PLANS:
• The grading plan adjacent to the tank and proposed grading is required to include all of the
items listed in the City of Rosemount Engineering guidelines, found on the City website.
The list includes emergency overland overflow elevations, pond or depression highwater
elevations, low floor and low building opening elevations, lot corner elevations, bench
marks, existing and proposed underground and overhead utilities, and pond NWL and
HWL.
• The existing contours could not be easily located on all of the grading plans. The existing
contours and property lines should be revised to show up on the aerial photo.
• The overland flow path /swale from the south dome to the pond should include erosion
control BMP's. The site plan should include a SWPPP based on the area being disturbed.
CIVIL DETAILS— SHEET C4.0:
• The pond outlet skimmer detail appears to be proposed without an upstream storm pipe.
The detail should be updated with the City's pond skimmer detail showing an upstream
inverted pipe. The pond outlet should be modified to retain the runoff volume from the
100 -year 24 -hour event. The modification should include the use of a sluice gate and weir
wall to set pond management elevation and overflow to the south.
SANITARY SEWER EXTENSION COMMENTS:
The City is currently working on the extension of main line sanitary sewer through the
Hawkins, Inc. site to provide service to the Feed Products North site. The sewer is
proposed to extend into the Feed Products North site within the alignment of the proposed
access road. A City drainage and utility easement is required to be provided by Feed
Products North over the main line sanitary sewer. The exact limits of the easement will be
determined by the City through the final design of the project.
2. Sewer connection is required within 10 years of the extension. Connection fees are based on
the City's current Fee Resolution at the time of connection and SAC units are calculated by
MCES. The current rates are listed below:
• MCES Fee - $2,230 /SAC
• City Fee - $1,200 /SAC
