Add -On Meadows of Bloomfield Minor PUD Amendment Clarification, Pulled for discussion Stonex Environmental Assessment Worksheet Mayor Droste asked City Engineer Brotzler, "What can residents expect from this EAW for a mining operation ?" Brotzler noted that the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) gives an opportunity for community responses for thirty days, August 2 to September 1. After that time the Environmental Quality Board will examine all details. The mining operation is on an eighty - acre site near County Road 38 and CSAH 71. Due to the size of the proposed mining operation, a mandatory EAW is required to be completed prior to the City considering an application for mining. A public hearing at City Council will be held when the proposed mining operation is considered. MOTION by Droste to authorize public distribution of the environmental assessment worksheet as required by Minnesota Rules 4410 for a 30 -day public comment period. Second by Shoe - Corrigan. Ayes: Droste, Riley, Shoe- Corrigan. Nays: None. Motion carried. Meadows of Bloomfield Minor PUD Amendment Clarification Council Member Shoe - Corrigan asked about the setbacks allowed for the new townhome design. Community Development Director Lindquist reported that the Planned Unit Development (PUD) would allow the setbacks at 20 feet from the Atrium Avenue right -of -way and 25 feet for porches along the interior units. Without the PUD the normal setback would be 25 feet. The new Cottage Row units will be setback 23 feet. Staff felt the plan needed to reflect the change in setbacks. MOTION by Shoe - Corrigan to affirm the Meadows of Bloomfield PUD setbacks for Cottage Row and Carnage town homes as shown on the approved plans and authorize amending the PUD Agreement to reflect the revised building footprint and setbacks. Second by Droste. Ayes: Riley, Shoe- Corrigan, Droste. Nays: None. Motion carried. PUBLIC HEARING: North Central Sanitary Sewer Study Plan Update City Engineer Brotzler presented the revised plan for the North Central Sanitary Sewer Study. The City held two informational meetings for residents and Council reviewed the draft on April 29, 2004. This will be a tool that can direct staff when development occurs to insure that infrastructure is in place and operational. Engineering Consultant Dave Hutton, WSB 2 ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS REGULAR MEETING JULY 20, 2004 Engineering, gave a presentation of the plan. The last revision was done in 1997. The study included updating improvements, estimated costs, identifying failed septic systems by reviewing records, identifying where trunk systems should go, and verifying developer charges for sewer and water. The Trunk Area Assessment fee is $1,015 and the Sanitary Sewer Availability connection charge is $1,125 for per gross developable acre. Fees will recoup most of the infrastructure costs. There may be a need for a joint agreement with the City of Eagan on the northern border for services; however, that request must come from the homeowner. In the future, road improvements and lateral sanitary sewer connections will also need to be looked at. Mayor Droste asked about Keagan Lake and when the drainage issue will be resolved. Brotzler noted that the pipe was placed in the ground with the Connemara Trail project and the Brockway development will complete the connection in 2005. Council Member Riley pointed out that only two lift stations will be needed. Mayor Droste opened the Public Hearing for audience comment. Mary Woodrow - Kreitz, 1785 120 Street, asked about rural residential development versus dense housing in this North Central area. She was concerned with the message City Council was sending by approving the North Central Sanitary Sewer Plan which in her view would open the way for more dense housing units. City Engineer Brotzler pointed out that the infrastructure lasts about 100 years and the cost would be lower with today's dollars than twenty years from now. Council Member Shoe - Corrigan noted that this plan does not change the assigned land uses, but it will prevent leapfrog development. Shoe- Corrigan noted that the bigger picture has to be looked at to insure a working infrastructure. Staff noted Ms. Woodrow - Kreitz is a resident of Inver Grove Heights. Ilene Beaver spoke representing her mother, Olga Treise, 12391 Dodd Boulevard. Ms. Beaver would like to have sewer and water available to develop their land. She noted that the Twin Cities area needs land to expand residential growth. Jim Schuelke, 12261 South Robert Trail, requested a' copy of the plan. City Engineer Brotzler said the plans will be available for purchase in the reception area of City Hall very soon. The next revision of the plan would not be until 2008. Mayor Droste said this study will help detail for developers what costs will be necessary for infrastructure. Droste asked for an explanation of what happens when a septic system has been examined and failed. The size of the lot would determine if a mound system could be installed or if a holding tank that would need to be pumped monthly would be needed. Inspections are required every two years by MPCA standards and the City keeps data records of the results. Tim Baker, 12920 Danville Avenue, asked if the City actually monitors the status of each septic system. Baker noted that most people clean their septic system once a year, but others never have them pumped or inspected. The City does send out letters requiring compliance with State regulations; however, there is no penalty program. City Engineer Brotzler noted that if the City found a high number of failed systems they could hire a contractor to conduct inspections. Mayor Droste noted that replacing a failed system could cost homeowners up to $15,000. Cl A ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS REGULAR MEETING JULY 20, 2004 Contaminating ground water would be a possible public health risk if failed systems were allowed, so the residents should be educated about regulations and consequences. Community Development Director Lindquist noted that a small area at the northern border would be serviced from Eagan. Lindquist reviewed the process to change land use designation. This would require a guide plan amendment directed to the Metropolitan Council for approval, a preliminary plat, then a public hearing, and City Council consideration. This process would take 60 to 90 days. MOTION by Droste to close the Public Hearing for the North Central Sanitary Sewer Study Plan. Second by Shoe - Corrigan. Ayes: Three. Nays: None. Motion carried. MOTION by Shoe- Corrigan to adopt A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE NORTH CENTRAL SANITARY SEWER STUDY, CITY PROJECT 375, AS PART OF THE 2020 COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN COMPONENT. Second by Riley. Ayes: Droste, Riley, Shoe - Corrigan. Nays: None. Motion carried Receive Plans & Spec's /Authorize Ad for Bid for Trunk Highway 3 Cooperative Agreement City Engineer Brotzler explained Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) requirements that included increased standards for widening CSAH 38 and Trunk Highway 3. This cooperative agreement increases the City's share by $500,000 which would be paid from the Municipal State Aid funds. This would likely delay other projects in the City's Capitol Improvement Plan such as the over pass near Biscayne Avenue. Some reductions in the scope of the project could lower the costs by $185,000. The cooperative agreement would possibly be available by August 17, 2004. MOTION ` by Riley to adopt A RESOLUTION RECEIVING THE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZING ADVERTISEMENT FOR BID FOR TRUNK HIGHWAY 3 COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT (CONNEMARA TRAIL — COUNTY ROAD 38), CITY PROJECT 385. Second by Shoe - Corrigan. Ayes: Riley, Shoe - Corrigan, Droste. Nays: None. Motion carried. Zoning Text Amendment Relating to Recreational Vehicle Storage- and Parking Surface Requirements Code Enforcement Official O'Brien presented an amendment to the City Code and Zoning Ordinance B that will better serve the needs of residents for recreational vehicle (RV) storage. Under the currant ordinance only 24 -hour temporary storage in the driveway is allowed. The proposed amendment would allow reasonable storage linked to the seasonal street - parking ban, April 1 to November 1; oversized recreational vehicles would require screening; temporary storage and loading in driveways for 48 -hours would be allowed and temporary permits would be available for driveway storing of oversized RV's for those visiting a resident. These changes were driven by resident complaints and needs. Staff recommends repeal of the current RV storage ordinance Section 4.9:C of the zoning ordinance. Enforcement is strengthened by placing the ordinance in the City Code. Council determined the amendment was advisable and approved 4 K ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS REGULAR MEETING JULY 20, 2004 of the seasonal approach. O'Brien said the information would be published in the local paper, a handout will be available at the city hall reception area, and a summary could be included in the water billing newsletter, web site, and cable TV channel. Enforcement has been done by neighborhood in the past. A letter is sent to residents noticing them of the requirements and then an inspection is conducted. MOTION by Riley to adopt AN ORDINANCE PERTAINING TO THE STORAGE AND PARKING OF RECREATION VEHICLES WITHIN THE CITY. Second by Shoe- Corrigan. Ayes: Shoe - Corrigan, Droste, Riley. Nays: None. Motion carried. MOTION by Riley to adopt AN ORDINANCE REPEALING SECTION 4.9:C OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE. Second by Shoe - Corrigan. Ayes: Droste, Riley, Shoe - Corrigan. Nays: None. Motion carried.
