ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
FEBRUARY 17, 2004
PUBLIC HEARING: 2004 Street & Utility Reconstruction, City Project 376
City Engineer Brotzler introduced Dave Hutton from WSB Engineering as Project Manager for
the maintenance of the City's infrastructure for 2004 Street & Utility Reconstruction, City
Project 376. This project is scheduled in the City's Capital Improvement Budget and follows the
City's Pavement Management Plan. The location for this year's maintenance includes Dahomey
Avenue West, Dallara Avenue West, Damask Avenue West, Danbury Avenue West, Upper 145
Street West, and 147 Street West. The life expectancy of a paved street is 25 to 30 years. It is
cost effective to also update watermain, storm sewer, and sanitary sewer with this project. The
Danbury Avenue cul -de -sac has substandard 4" watermain and the majority of the whole location
does not have storm sewer. An estimated 110 lineal feet of 8" sanitary sewer needs replacement.
Water hydrants will be replaced with updated ones and the 4" cast iron watermain will be
replaced with 6" ductile iron watermain pipe.
Mayor Droste opened the Public Hearing for audience comments. No comments were offered.
MOTION by Droste to close the Public Hearing for the 2004 Street and Utility Reconstruction,
City Project 376. Second by DeBettignies. Ayes: Shoe - Corrigan, Droste, Strayton, DeBettignies.
Nays: None. Motion carried.
Mayor Droste reviewed the informational open house held for City Project 376. Concern was
voiced there regarding the need for Damask Avenue to be reconstructed. Staff agreed it was not
as worn as the other streets because of less use, but it would be much more expensive to replace
it individually five years from now. The resident assessment cost remains at $2400 per lot as per
the Assessment Policy. Council Member Strayton noted that the lot assessment amount increased
$200 from last year.
Mayor Droste confirmed that the Affidavits of Mailed, Posted, and Published Notice were on file
with the City Clerk's Office.
PUBLIC HEARING: Wellhead Protection Plan
Mayor Droste began the Public Hearing for the Wellhead Protection Plan and confirmed that the
Affidavits of Mailed, Posted and Published Notice were on file with the City Clerk's Office.
City Engineer Brotzler reported that the State of Minnesota Rule 4720.5350 mandates that the
City conduct a public hearing on the WHPP before submitting a plan to the Minnesota
Department of Health for final approval. City Engineer Brotzler then introduced John Greer of
Barr Engineering Company to explain the Wellhead Protection Plan (WHPP). Greer displayed a
map which showed the location of water supply wells, delineation of the Emergency
Management Zone, the Wellhead Protection Area, and Drinking Water Supply Management
Area. The map also pointed out areas of high vulnerability. Greer explained that the WHPP has
been a very thorough and long process. The first part of the Plan was approved June 20, 2002.
The WHPP consists of management strategies for the City's source water aquifer. These
management strategies include public education, planning with Empire Township, management
of old wells, and the monitoring and gathering of data, including keeping a hydrogeological
inventory. Special concerns addressed by the management strategies include chemical storage

areas, dumps, businesses generating hazardous waste, septic systems, and surface water run -off.
The City's current water testing program includes quarterly and annual sampling. This sampling
program is included among the management strategies. Mayor Droste asked about concerns with
the University of Minnesota's water contamination in the 1970's. Mr. Greer noted that the
contamination is not an issue and that the University has been helpful with information and
requested updates. Brotzler noted that once this plan is adopted amendments to it would be
required to add wells to our system.
Mayor Droste opened the Public Hearing for comments from the audience. There were no
comments.
MOTION by Droste to close the Public Hearing for the Wellhead Protection Plan. Second by
Strayton. Ayes: Strayton, DeBettignies, Shoe - Corrigan, Droste. Nays: None. Motion carried.
MOTION by DeBettignies to adopt the Wellhead Protection Plan for the City of Rosemount.

Manley Rezoning and Simple Plat
Community Development Director Lindquist reviewed the request by Manley Land Development
for a rezoning from AG, Agriculture to RR, Rural Residential to create two residential lots and a
driveway setback variance from five to zero feet for property south of 120 Street along with the
easement being requested as part of the Manley project. Wetland restraints limit where the
driveway can be placed. The original lot is 20.65 acres and the resulting lots would be 5.24 acres
and 15.41 acres. The existing structures would be removed and two single - family homes are
proposed. The Planning Commission held a Public Hearing and approved the driveway setback
variance request and recommended City Council approve the rezoning and simple plat
applications. Staff recommends approval. Council noted that approval of this request does not
guarantee there are two buildable sites on these lots. All building codes and septic system
requirements would have to be met.
A letter was received representing Richard D. and Vicky L. Hanson of 12275 Cobblestone Lane
with street easement concerns about an outlot that they own south of the Manley parcel. The
outlot has the potential of allowing a through street from McAndrews Road to 120 Street.
Hansons requested that Cobblestone Lane remain a cul -de -sac as it was developed. Staff would
not support giving up that outlot at this time.
Council Member DeBettignies asked about the Wetland Conservation Act Permit. Jenni
Hattervig from Pioneer Engineering, a consultant engineer for Manleys', said mitigation of the
Wetland Buffer area is in process. No permit is needed because there are no impacts to the
wetland.
MOTION by DeBettignies to adopt an Ordinance approving the rezoning of the Manley property
from AG, Agriculture to RR, Rural Residential. Second by Strayton. Ayes: Shoe - Corrigan,
Droste, Strayton, DeBettignies. Nays: None. Motion carried.

MOTION by DeBettignies to adopt A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE SIMPLE PLAT
to allow the Manley property to subdivide into two single - family residential lots subject to the
conditions outlined in the Resolution. Second by Droste. Ayes: Droste, Strayton, DeBettignies,
Shoe - Corrigan. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Town Office Concept Planned Unit Development by McMenomy & Associates
Community Development Director Lindquist presented the request of Ed McMenomy to
construct four buildings as office condominiums on the northeast corner of Chippendale Avenue
and 160 Street. The site is 2.8 acres with limited entry access with parking proposed in front of
each unit and sidewalk access on Chippendale Avenue. Occupants would own their portion of
the building and there would be an association for maintenance. Rezoning would be required
from AG, Agricultural to BP -3 or BP -4, Business Park 3 or 4. Dakota County will be required to
review this plat because it is contiguous to County Road 46.
Tom Gunsmoor is partnering with McMenomy on this project. Gunsmoor reported that he has
built over 200 units similar to these in the past five years. Last year a similar project in Lakeville
was totally occupied seven months after its completion. The businesses attracted to this size
office may be doctors' clinics, photography, paper goods, homebuilders, accountants, or
investors. The occupants are usually not retail sales but more of an office environment. This
would mean less parking congestion. Gunsmoor said there are examples of this building design
on County Road 42, west of Pilot Knob Road in Apple Valley and the offices in Lakeville are
north of the Harley shop, off 166 Street and 35W.
Lindquist said the Business Park zoning should fit these uses. Council Member Shoe - Corrigan
asked why a Conditional Use Permit is needed. Staff will investigate that. Council will review
this project again when the Final Development Plans are considered.
MOTION by Shoe - Corrigan to adopt A RESOLUTION APPROVING A CONCEPT PLAN
for the McMenomy Town Offices subject to conditions. Second by Strayton. Ayes: Strayton,
DeBettignies, Shoe - Corrigan, Droste. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Announcements
Community Development Director Lindquist noted that the Downtown Redevelopment
Committee will meet on February 26 at 7:00 p.m. and the public is always welcome. Council
Member DeBettignies commended Mayor Droste for his State of the City Address on February
17 at a Chamber Breakfast meeting. DeBettignies noted that the Mayor's speech is posted on the
SKB and Sterling State Bank web pages.
Mayor Droste reviewed the upcoming meetings and reminded everyone that the first meetings in
March have been rescheduled to March 1 St due to the Minnesota caucus the evening of March
2nd.
Mayor Droste moved to adjourn at 8:58. p.m. Second by Strayton. Ayes: Four.
