Project Summary
Summarize goals and components for the project or current phase. If the project has more than one phase,
address project goals for the current phase in this section, as well as more broadly, if desired.' Include details on
other phase(s) on page 3, in B.2. (Examples_ of project summaries can be found at www.me'trocouncil.org /grants /lcda.)
The City of Rosemount is committed to redevelopment of its historic 36.7 -acre Downtown as detailed in the
Development Framework soon to be adopted by the City Council. The Framework combines the essence of the
existing Downtown with a vision of what the community can become. Improvements will begin with work on
one or two commercial blocks, through a request- for - proposals from private developers to be issued in 2004. `
Projections through 2010 for Downtown Rosemount based on market research indicate revitalization can
encourage the creation of up to 535 housing units, including critical options for senior living and for single -
person or small family units with an affordable component. Demand is anticipated for up to 86,000 square feet
of commercial space. Design guidelines emphasize enhancing the "walkability" of Downtown and honoring the
community's heritage.
The Downtown Gateway /Central Park project, a key attraction within the Framework, will create green
space and other features to weave together all of Downtown's purposes and aspirations.
• It will offer a gathering place for residents and visitors drawn to work, shop, and play.
• It will encourage the construction of new housing alternatives desired by the community.
• It will improve pedestrian access to the ex_ isting 10.7 -acre Central Park, currently isolated from the
community's crossroads.
• It will serve as a terminus for an interpretive trail corridor envisioned to connect Downtown Rosemount
to the Mississippi River, which today is largely inaccessible from and underutilized by the rest of the
community.
• It will meet the demand for a site for civic purposes such as community celebrations and public events
essential to unite a rapidly growing com munity.

1. In this section, provide additional project details you did not have space to include in the
"Project Summary" on page 1, and any pertinent information on the history of the site.
(Lurut ZU Imes)
The City of Rosemount has attempted to revitalize its Downtown several times over three decades. Prior to
the current Development Framework, the City embarked on a planning process in 2002. The process ended when
the previous City Council decided on a 3 -2 vote to not approve the 2002 plan. There were also attempts made in
the `70s and `80s, which resulted in two comers at 145 and Highway 3 being revitalized. Four new commercial
and two high- density residential uses with a small urban plaza were added to the City's Downtown. The
commercial redevelopment area has experienced significant business turnover, vacancies, and loss of a long -
established family owned business that anchored one of the redeveloped sites. It has become apparent to the City
that the aesthetics and architecture of these previous redevelopment attempts is dated if not obsolescent, and
certainly not sustaining.
With the commercial challenges from surrounding, faster - growing suburbs, Rosemount's Downtown has had
difficultly competing. The Downtown Gateway /Central Park project proposed here will mark the beginning of
the 2004 Framework implementation and will publicly convey the City's commitment to the process and the
overall goal. We will soon be looking for private.development investment to supplement Downtown
redevelopment and will be marketing the Central Park expansion as the catalyst to draw private dollars into the
community. With public investment into Downtown, the private sector will understand and appreciate the
commitment that City government and the community have to improving the Downtown marketplace and
providing additional residential, office, and commercial opportunities in the historic Downtown area.
2. Describe phasing for the project, if applicable, and include details of phases (Limit M lines)
The grant request is for land acquisition._ This would be the first and most important phase of the project
because it provides the opportunity for Park expansion and construction of an ancillary commercial use. The
City has contacted both of the business owners and is looking at potential relocation alternatives within the
community.
After acquisition the City will demolish existing structures and remove other site improvements such as
surface parking, gas dispensers, and driveways. Site grading, utility relocation, and shifting of a road segment to
improve traffic safety are all parts of this phase.
Construction of the Park, based upon the approved master plan, would then take place. The existing Central
Park would be expanded to the west, opening the public space to the street and inviting residents into
Downtown's "hidden jewel." A public plaza that can serve as a gathering place (with amenities such as a
fountain, benches, landscape island, and architecturally enhanced pathways) will draw people to the Park and the
greater Downtown Area. New Downtown residents will be able to use the space for their passive and
recreational needs. The greater public will be able to use the Park for larger civic events and also for intimate
gatherings.
3. Why LCDA funds are needed. Address all that apply of the following: How will LCDA funding
overcome obstacles, provide a catalyst, or increase the value of the project to the community?
Describe any time constraints, financial hardship or complexity that requires LCDA funding.
!T :_:. — c_—
The City is committed to improving the public spaces within Downtown. Expansion of Central Park will
provide the catalyst for future improvements in Downtown and convey to the private sector that the City is
committed to revitalization of Downtown. The Downtown Committee recommended. that Central Park be
expanded for the enjoyment of the entire community.
The typical financial approach to obtaining redevelopment, use of tax increment financing (TIF), is
unavailable because there are restrictions on its use for public purposes. The City will be looking at TIF to assist
in infrastructure improvements associated with the project. Other funding sources are the City's park dedication
fund and potentially some private donations for park improvements. Because Rosemount is a fast - growing
community, financial resources for public improvements are limited. While the Park Dedication fund is a
reasonable source of funding, there are numerous park projects needed within the community to provide services
and amenities for the growing population. Enhancement of the park's visibility, access, and circulation will
amplify the amenity as useable open space to promote and support higher densities of redevelopment available to
the private sector.

a. Describe how the project uses land efficiently, in the ways listed above, or in other ways.
Limit 10 lines
It is expected that Downtown, through redevelopment, will create a more compact or more efficient
development pattern. The City expects to attract up to 500 new housing units into the 36.7 acre Downtown Area.
Additionally, commercial space will increase dramatically; it could double from the current level, providing a
variety of land use opportunities not readily available today. Expansion of the Park provides the recreational,
amenity typically sought on a case -by -case basis for individual residential projects. Within the more dense
development pattern, green space will be limited and extensive public open space in close proximity will be a
welcome addition to Downtown. Downtown is fairly small in overall size; therefore, the Park is easily accessible
for all Downtown residents. The change inland use from developed commercial, with buildings and hard
surface, to parks and open space will increase water quality from the site and permit groundwater recharge
through a significant reduction in impervious surfaces.

a. Describe how the project will connect land use to the local or regional transportation system, in the ways
listed above, or in other ways.
Limit 10 lines
The redevelopment of Rosemount's Downtown will dramatically increase the amount of residential
development within the area. Residential densities will increase to provide a more transit - oriented development
pattem than the current condition. This will create a mass critical for economical and efficient mass transit
service to Rosemount's Downtown. Downtown is presently served by a single "flex service" MVTA route. As
Rosemount's population increases, the City is looking forward. to additional mass transit opportunities.
From a regional road system perspective, the ability to locate additional residents within Downtown utilizes
regional infrastructure. State Highway 3 is the primary arterial road used by residents traveling to the north and
south. Highway 52, with its new improvements, provides a seamless commute to St. Paul, and County Road 42
serves as the Principal Arterial in the area, providing controlled access_ to the west. Other regional road
altematives include County Road 46 and Cedar Avenue.
b. Describe any new sidewalks, trails, or bike paths, or improvements to existing pedestrian infrastructure
planned to link to transit.
Limit 8 lines
The Central Park expansion project will extend the pedestrian infrastructure within Downtown. The existing
sidewalk system will be enhanced to provide better pedestrian accessibility to the Park and adjoining civic
destinations such as City Hall and potentially a library. A series of trails will connect the passive and active
amenities within the park area. The Park's location will also allow for a signalized access to one of the three
sites for a newly proposed Dakota County library, located west of the Park. From a regional perspective, Central
Park is designated as the trailhead for the interpretive trail linking to the Mississippi River. Ultimately, this trail
way will link the various regional parks in Dakota County with the river.

development into existing neighborhoods.
a. Connections: Describe how the project will connect housing and centers of employment, education, retail
and recreation uses, in the ways listed above or in other ways.
The expansion of Central Park increases the visibility of the center of civic life. The newly expanded Park will
become the gathering place for the residents located within Downtown and in the larger community. The Park
currently serves as the site for community events such as Leprechaun Days and the Halloween Trail as well as
recreational activities. Central Park will serve as the open space feature for new Downtown residents and will
embody investment and commitment to the area. Downtown and its surroundings serve as the place of commerce
for the community. Its close location to the City's business park means that Downtown serves employment in the
community. Downtown revitalization will improve the perception of.Downtown and allow. it to compete on a level
field with other commercial areas in Rosemount and adjoining suburbs.

The improvements to the sidewalk system and internal trails will allow greater access to and flow through
Central Park. The Park currently is expansive but is hidden from the public with only a small entranceway. The
additional pedestrian access is an important component of the Park redesign to increase visibility and use. These
improvements will also provide linkages into the new Downtown area, particularly for the planned residential
projects, providing easy access to services for the new residents. Mature residential neighborhoods exist to the
west of the site, and are linked to' Downtown and Central Park by the sidewalk system already in place. .

Limit to lines
The current land uses on the project site are developed as commercial and include a gas station/service
center and small commercial implement dealer. At the time of their development, water quality issues were not
addressed, with the result that most of the property is developed and impervious. There is no water quality
infrastructure or stormwater ponding filtering existing site runoff.
As part of the Central Park project, 65 % of the site will be redeveloped into parks and open space,
significantly reducing the amount of hard surfacing from its current state, promoting groundwater recharge, and
improving water quality. The change in land use will reduce the amount of pollutants exiting the site. The
landscaping plan for the site will include the development of a rainwater garden to control and treat stormwater
in an ecologically suitable manner not presently available on the site.

A 13- member citizens' task force developed the Development Framework for Downtown
Redevelopment over the last nine months. The Rosemount Port Authority recommended approval of
the Framework in June 2004, and Council action is scheduled for July 6, 2004. Development standards
and design guidelines are currently being reviewed by a subcommittee of the citizens' committee.
These guidelines will be used to assess public and private projects within Downtown. The Central Park
project will set the standard for lighting, architecture, and design enhancements within Downtown.

City Council appointment of the 13- member Downtown Redevelopment Committee began the.
public participation process. The committee consisted of 3 Downtown business reps, 5 community
residents, 2 Port Authority members, 1 Planning Commissioner, 2 Council members. The Committee
held three public open houses: the first kicked off the planning process; the second offered specific
alternatives for each block; and the third was a question and answer session. The Council will hold a
noticed public hearing_ on July 6. The City hired an ombudsman to work with Downtown businesses
during the planning process, and there was a special Downtown business meeting.and two mailings
directed to the business community about the redevelopment plan. The Northern Dakota County
Chambers of Commerce has also been helpful in "getting out the word." We will continue to use the
media, City's website, and various personnel to inform the public during implementation.
