projects by Dakota County for the maintenance facility south of 160' Street and Minnesota
Trunk Highway 3 realignment. Details for those projects altered the street plans that had been in
place five years ago. The timing of the funding made available for these projects can often
change plans also. Brotzler noted this was not a City driven project.
Council Member DeBettignies remarked he sympathized with Mr. Murgic, but agreed that the
multiple agencies changed the schedule of street improvements.

PUBLIC HEARING: Assessment Hearing for Chippendale /CSAH 42 Street & Utility
Improvements, City Project 344
City Engineer Brotzler reviewed City Project 344 which included street reconstruction with
added turn lanes, curb and gutter, revised signal system at Chippendale and CSAH 42, concrete
medians, catch basin and hydrant relocations, and two sewer and water services. The cost was
divided between Dakota County, Minnesota State Aid, city funds, and property assessments. The
actual cost was 2.9% lower than estimated.
Council Member Shoe - Corrigan recalled that residents objected to widening Chippendale
Boulevard from CSAH 42 north to 145 Street West so staff scaled the project back and
eliminated a medium.
City Planner Pearson noted that a common boundary line relocation was done on the
Uitdenbogerd property, not a subdivision. The lot is an unusual shape and would require
variances in order to build on it. Staff noted that a Letter of Objection was received from Glen
A. Uitdenbogerd behalf of his father's proncrty�Fred Uitdenbogerd.

Receive Petition for Local Improvement
City Engineer Brotzler reviewed the request by Tom Stordahl of Minnesota Pipe for public
improvements on Biscayne Avenue. Minnesota Pipe & Equipment is now located in Farmington.
The lot has water but no sewer and would need street improvements for their business. The
petition presented did not have 35% of the neighboring property owners' signatures; therefore,
staff recommended declaring the petition invalid according to Minnesota Statutes. City Attorney
LeFevere explained that the only difference between a valid petition and an invalid petition is
that after 30 days if no one challenges it, the City Council's vote can accept a majority rather than
a 4/5 vote.
Tom Stordahl, a partner with Minnesota Pipe & Equipment, presented his request for road
improvements and sewer in order to move the present company from Farmington to Rosemount.
The Farmington location is on a four -acre lot and does not allow for expansion of the company.

PUBLIC HEARING: Assessment Hearing for CSAH 46/Trunk HWY 3 Street & Utility
Improvements, City Project 284
City Engineer Brotzler noted that improvements were initiated by Dakota County beginning in
1997 at Highway 3 and 160 Street. Highway 3 was realigned, moving it to the east with a four-
way stop at that intersection. The bids on the project were completed in 2000 and the project was
completed in 2003. The project improvements included upgrading CSAH 46 (160 Street) to a
four lane urban section with concrete curb and gutter, a watermain loop along CSAH 46,
Highway 3 and Canada Circle, new alignment of CSAH 46 and Highway 3, installation of a
frontage road on the north. storm sewer improvements, and installation of a bituminous pathway
from Diamond Path to Biscayne Avenue on the north side of 160 Street.
Mayor Droste noted that a Letter of Objection was received from Mr. Murgic. City Attorney
LeFevere reviewed the right of the residents to appeal a special assessment to District Court.
Tonight they must file a Letter of Objection with the Mayor to preserve their right to appeal to
the court. The appellant would then have ten days to file civil litigation in District Court. At court
they would be able to submit expert appraiser's testimony to verify land values and contest the
improvements' benefit.
Council Member Riley noted there was a 10.7% higher cost to the project than estimated. City
Engineer Brotzler reported that due to multiple agencies involved there were significant delays.
The construction material and labor costs increased over the three year construction schedule.
Mayor Droste opened the Public Hearing for City Project 284 for public comments.
Michael Murgic, 3670 155 Street, Murgic's Auto Body, reported he had paid an assessment for
City Project 317 two years ago for sewer. This project was for water and road improvements
which took away his frontage on Highway 3 and required disturbing the five -year old road in
front of his business. Because his business has been isolated, Mr. Murgic felt he has lost
property value.
Robert H. Carlson, 1482 Bussard Court, St. Paul, representing Car Nav Five, delivered a Letter
of Objection on the assessment for City Project 284.
Brett DeBates, 23440 Woodland Road, Lakeville, objected to the assessment and stated he had
asked for access into the residential development to the north. DeBates was unhappy that his
driveway is in the right turn lane and stated that his property value has not been increased.
DeBates submitted a Letter of Objection following the hearing.
MOTION by Droste to close the Public Hearing for the Assessment Hearing for CSAH
46 /Trunk Highway 3 Street & Utility Improvements, City Project 284. Second by DeBettignies.
Ayes: Five. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Council Member Shoe - Corrigan asked staff why .a five -year old road would be torn up. City

27 people. The company does have a large truck volume daily and would require paved roads.
Mr. Stordahl requested staff prepare a feasibility study for road and sewer improvements. Mr.
Stordahl would like to break ground in the spring of 2005.
City Engineer Brotzler reported that a feasibility study would cost $7,000 to $12,000. If
following the study, the improvements were denied, the City would be liable for that cost. If the
project would be approved, the property owners would share the cost of the study. The University
of Minnesota owns land on the east of Biscayne Avenue and it is not obligated to pay
assessments; however, it will usually negotiate with the City. It was suggested that this could be
discussed at a City Council Work Session. The City is interested in bringing businesses to
Rosemount and this area is zoned Business Park.

Rosemount Crossing Final PUD Development Plan & Preliminary Plat, Planning Cases 04-
59 -FP and 04 -60 -04 PP
City Planner Pearson reviewed the Steiner Development request for approval of the Planned Unit
Development Plan and the Preliminary Plat. City Attorney LeFevere incorporated some changes
to the resolution and Steiner Development presented a Parking Study for additional information.
Staff had some concerns for parking for the restaurant lot. The Parking Study showed that seating
would be for 200 and the parking on the lot would only account for 65 %. Steiner said that the
parking would be shared with surrounding businesses and the entire project should be considered
a shopping center. This designation, shopping center, would allow for the additional parking.
Staff would not want to see overflow parking going into the residential area. One of the
conditions allowed for maintenance requirements for the stormwater vault system. A neighbor to
the west sent a letter with concerns that shoppers would cut through their neighbor's yard to get
into the shopping area. A loading dock wall and landscaping will give some division; however, a
fence is not planned. Several details of the development were discussed. The colors allowed for
accent will be governed by the Downtown Redevelopment Plan standards.
Mr. Johnson, Vice President of Steiner and Kathy Anderson of Architectural Consortium,
answered questions and defended the shopping center designation. The development schedule
has the grading beginning in October with ALDI and Starbucks being completed in one year.
Jim Benshoof explained the analysis of the parking in the Parking Study. The cities of Hopkins,
Rochester, and Lilydale have used this approach for parking standards.
Consideration was given to Steiner's request to assess development fees over time. City
Administrator Verbrugge said it is not in the City policy to assess fees. An option could be
provided that when building permits are pulled, the development fee would be paid. City
Attorney LeFevere noted that this could be provided for in the subdivision agreement. LeFevere

agreed that the parking rights are interactive with the four lots and that should be attached to the
deed recorded with Dakota County.
City Attorney provided wording to condition 1. as follows: "Execution and recording of a PUD
agreement to assure the property is developed and used in accordance with plan documents
received on September 23, 2004 and this resolution. To the extent of any inconsistencies between

City Administrator Verbrugge presented the comments provided by the Association of
Metropolitan Municipalities (AMM) on Metropolitan Council's 2030 Transportation Policy Plan.
Staff has reviewed the comments and found them to be consistent with the concerns of the City
of Rosemount and staff recommends approval of the resolution in support. The City will prepare
additional comments regarding this at the October 19, 2004 regular City Council meeting.
Announcements
City Administrator Verbrugge called for a Closed Executive Session with legal counsel
