Community Development Director Lindquist summarized the information provided in the
staff report.
Council Member Sterner questioned if trees could be proposed in the landscape plan that
would last longer than 15 -20 years. Ms. Lindquist stated that when trees grow in grates they
become restricted and need repositioning. She stated that over time the root systems start to
push against the sidewalks. While it would be possible to find trees that last longer, given the
City's experiences Downtown, it doesn't seem prudent to keep the trees too long in the
sidewalk grates.
Council Member DeBettignies questioned the street naming within the resolutions. Senior
Planner Zweber explained that the street names were from the original plat.
Council Member Shoe Corrigan questioned if staff discussed planting smaller trees in
containers along Highway 3. Ms. Lindquist stated that along Highway 3 the trees would not
be in grates. Instead, the trees would be located in the slope between the two sidewalks.
Council Member Shoe Corrigan also questioned the lighting. Ms. Lindquist indicated on the
plan where the lights would be located. Council Member Shoe Corrigan questioned if
awnings would be included. Mr. Zweber stated that once a commercial tenant is in place
that Stonebridge would provide a signage and awning plan.
Council Member Shoe Corrigan questioned the roof support for the rounded comer. She
did not think that the cables would be a traditional aspect to the project. Mr. Johnson stated
he would talk to his architect about using a more traditional material for roof support if the
support was still needed.
Council Member Shoe Corrigan questioned the different types of crosswalks that could be
installed. City Engineer Brotzler explained the aesthetics, design and location of the
proposed crosswalks. Council Member Shoe Corrigan requested that the plan define and
enhance pedestrian crossings.

Mayor Droste questioned the parking. Ms. Lindquist stated that while most cities require
two stalls per unit, Rosemount's downtown ordinance did not have any parking standards.
She stated that the developer was comfortable setting the parking ratio at 1.5 per unit due to
the mixed use of the building and the ability to have shared parking
Council Member Baxter was delighted to see the project come to fruition. He thanked staff,
Wally Johnson and the Planning Commission for their hard work. He looked forward to the
groundbreaking this spring.
