Receive Facilities Task Force Report
Council Member Shoe- Corrigan thanked the members of the Facilities Task Force for their
contribution to the community and invited them to be thanked publicly at an up coming Council
meeting. Parks and Recreation Director Schultz gave an overview of the report which identified
five areas of need: senior center, indoor ice, cultural art center, aquatic center, and teen center.
The Task Force found that l) recreation facilities are key elements in a community's quality of
life, 2) the number and quality of existing city recreation facilities are inadequate and below the
level of similar surrounding communities, and 3) the public is very interested in high quality
recreation facilities. The Parks and Recreation Commission will make recommendations in the
future.
MOTION by Shoe - Corrigan to receive the Facilities Task Force Report. Second by Strayton.
Ayes: Riley, Strayton, DeBettignies, Shoe- Corrigan, Droste. Nays: None. Motion carried.

would be improved by adding traffic signals, turn lanes, grading, and resurfacing. This agreement
is necessary prior to the opening of bids for the project which is scheduled for August 20, 2004.
The agreement provides for cost sharing between the State and the City. The project should be
completed by November 30, 2004.

REGULAR MEETING
AUGUST 17, 2004
Brockway Area PUD Agreement I
Council Member Strayton asked about the process used with this PUD agreement. Community
Development Director Lindquist noted that the Brockway PUD began before the new rezoning
process was initiated so the rezoning will be handled at a future date. The conditions in the
Agreement and three previously approved resolutions provide controls as directed. The removal
of the Brockway building will begin in two weeks. Grading in the southeast quadrant near
Connemara Trail will also begin soon. A storm sewer pipe will need to go under Connemara
Trail so the last top coat on it may be delayed possibly to spring.
MOTION by Strayton to authorize execution of the Brockway PUD Agreement, subject to
recommendations by the City Attorney. Second by DeBettignies. Ayes: DeBettignies, Shoe-
Corrigan, Droste, Riley, Strayton. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Plan Review & Comprehensive Plan Amendment for G1enRose of Rosemount
Community Development Director Lindquist reviewed the concept plan for a townhouse project
by Dean Johnson Homes, along Highway 3 across from the Rosemount Community Center. The
property is sometimes known as the Sunrise Lumber Site. This will require a Comprehensive
Plan Amendment because the site is zoned Public & Institutional and would require Mixed Use
Residential designation. This site is also being considered for a library site by the City. The
Developer has agreed to an extension until October. Access on Highway 3 is a concern. A buffer
strip for sound and sight lines would be necessary. Parks and Recreation Director Schultz said
the Parks and Recreation Commission in 1991 recommended this site for park expansion and
later when the Community Center was built, an under -pass was considered there. City Council at
those times did not act on the recommendations.
John Berg, planning consultant with Loucks and Associates representing Dean Johnson Homes,
commended staff for working with them. He was aware of the possible library site and was
willing to wait for Council's decision.
Council Member Riley wished to consider the Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment at a work
session to review the City's vision for Public/Institutional for this site. Council • agreed that the
long range planning should be considered. City Administrator Verbrugge suggested this be added
to the September work session and invited Mr. Johnson for discussion.
MOTION by Riley to table CASE 04 -26 -CON the Concept Plan and CASE 04 -52 -CP
Comprehensive Plan Amendment for G1enRose of Rosemount by Dean Johnson Homes. Second
by Strayton. Ayes: Shoe - Corrigan, Droste, Riley, Strayton, DeBettignies. Nays: None. Motion
carried.
Connemara Crossings PUD Plan Review for Basic Builders
Community Development Director Lindquist reviewed the application for a Planned Unit
Development (PUD) by Basic Builders for a mix of 44 twin home and town home units for the
property on the southwest corner of Biscayne Avenue and Connemara Trail. The walking trail
was discussed with the amenity of a fountain. Staff noted that the infiltration pond may not allow
for continued standing water, so a fountain is not advisable. Council Member Shoe - Corrigan

suggested a gazebo as a destination point by the south trail. The trail connection to the sidewalk
on Connemara was recommended. Condition one regarding rezoning was removed since it will
be rezoned with the PUD. Condition six regarding elevations was reworded to, "Construction of
revised elevations illustrating the front facades dated 7/12/04." This removes the 100% brick
requirement. Condition nine was changed to read "Addition of a recreational amenity and
walking trail from the southern cul -de -sac to the pond." Screening was addressed along the
railroad and for buffering the lights at Erickson Park.
Ed McMenomy, 14450 South Robert Trail, agreed to a gazebo type structure. He stated that
homeowners appreciate the amenities and good landscaping.
MOTION by DeBettignies to approve A RESOLUTION GRANTING A CONCEPT PLANNED
UNIT DEVELOPMENT FOR CONNEMARA CROSSINGS (formally Biscayne Acres) for 44
twin home and town home units on the vacant property located on the southwest corner of
Biscayne Avenue and Connemara Trail, subject to revisions to conditions six and nine. Second
by Riley. A friendly amendment was made by the second Riley to remove condition one.
Motioner DeBettignies agreed to the amendment.
MOTION by DeBettignies to approve A RESOLUTION GRANTING A CONCEPT PLANNED
UNIT DEVELOPMENT FOR CONNEMARA CROSSINGS (formally Biscayne Acres) for 44
twin home and town home units on the vacant property located on the southwest corner of
Biscayne- Avenue and Connemara Trail, subject to revisions to conditions six and nine, and the
removal of condition one. Second by Riley. Ayes: Droste, Riley, Strayton, DeBettignies, Shoe -
Corrigan. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Danner Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment
Community Development Director Lindquist presented an amendment to the zoning ordinance
that would permit an asphalt plant on the property of Marlon Danner. City Attorney LeFevere
noted that a conditional use permit (CUP) could be used in conjunction with the mining permit.
The Planning Commission noted that it would be hard to track with the mining permit. An
interim use permit could restrict the time period and not allow any extensions. LeFevere said this
is a difficult decision since the future of the mining business is unknown. LeFevere suggested
linking the asphalt plant as an accessory use to the mining. Staff does not support the interim use
process for an asphalt plant because it has a ten to fifteen year window. There are zoning districts
now that do allow an asphalt plant.
Mr. Joe Jacoby, from Pine Bend Paving, explained that they had been leasing the land from Flint
Hills for the past 31 years and Flint Hills recently asked them to move their operations. Jacoby
noted that their truck traffic would be three trucks per hour for about 60,000 tons of fill per day.
The asphalt plant consists of a small control house within the mining operation. They employ
thirty people with an average hourly wage of $24.
Community Development Director Lindquist noted that the land would have to be zoned
industrial in order to locate an asphalt plant on it and industrial also has a minimum building size
of 10% of the land size. Lindquist thought this zoning amendment is premature due to the

Highway 52/42 Corridor Study and its affects on land use. Council Member DeBettignies
reminded Council about the possibility of siting the air cargo facility in that area and its affects
on land use. City Attorney LeFevere noted that once a business was allowed it may be harder to
shut it down if land uses change. Council consensus was that more research would be needed
including maps and mining facts, and directed staff to add this item to the Council's September
work session.
MOTION by Strayton to table the Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment requested by Marlon
Danner until the October 5, 2004 regular City Council meeting. Second by Riley. Ayes: Riley,
Strayton, DeBettignies, Shoe- Corrigan, Droste. Nays: None. Motion carried.
