Interim Ordinance for Properties in the TH 52 /CR 42 2010 MUSA Area Community Development Director Lindquist reviewed land use issues surrounding the area of TH 52 and CR 42 interchange. There have been inquiries from businesses interested in property in that area which is now zoned Mixed Industrial or Agriculture. A building moratorium for the area is being recommended to consider the best possible use of the land. Comprehensive Plan amendments, zoning text amendments and rezonings will result from a study group that includes the major landowners. The area that is not in the 2010 MUSA is controlled by the City since a Comprehensive Plan amendment would be necessary. For that reason those properties are not included in the moratorium. Letters have been sent to all affected property owners to insure they are aware of the proposed moratorium. The moratorium is scheduled to expire on November 1, 2005 unless City Council amends it to end before that time or if necessary, extend it beyond November 1, 2005. Council was firm that one year should be enough time for the study. Mayor Droste said that Rosemount is growing fast and more commercial sites are needed. Council Member DeBettignies encouraged more residents to participate in the study. Staff noted that they are seeking comments and that landowners can call City Hall for meeting dates or concerns. MOTION by Shoe - Corrigan to adopt an Ordinance for protecting the planning process and the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the city, placing a moratorium on development in certain areas of the City of Rosemount. Second by Riley. Ayes: Shoe - Corrigan, Droste, Riley, Strayton, DeBettignies. Nays: None. Motion carried. 2 { ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS REGULAR MEETING NOVEMBER 3, 2004 Zoning Text Amendment Temporary Buildings — Residential Sales Offices Community Development Director Lindquist presented this as a housekeeping measure to deal with temporary sales trailers for developments. The Planning Commission felt strongly that one year should be sufficient time for model homes to be built and used for the purpose of sales. Staff knew of large projects where additional time may be needed and recommends the ability to extend the approval beyond one year. A sales trailer would require a bituminous surface for the parking site if over the one -year limitation. MOTION by DeBettignies to adopt an ordinance amending Section 4.11 of - the Zoning Ordinance relating to temporary buildings, to include standards for temporary sales offices. Second by Shoe - Corrigan. Ayes: Droste, Riley, Strayton, DeBettignies, Shoe - Corrigan. Nays: None. Motion carried. Authorize Feasibility Report County Road 38 Improvements, City Project 393 City Engineer Brotzler gave a report on the preparation of the feasibility report for County Road 38 from TH 3 east to the railroad tracks. Improvements are apparent due to the Brockway residential development. The improvements include widening CR 38 to include turn lanes, storm sewer improvements, and possible sanitary sewer and water line extensions. There will likely be a special assessment proposed for existing properties adjacent to CR 38. Other funding sources will be identified with the feasibility report. Water and sewer will be extended to Rose Terrace Apartments which are now serviced with a septic system. Mayor Droste asked about inclusion of the 15 to 20 lots on the west side of Keagan Lake. Brotzler noted this area is not in the study area. Community Development Director Lindquist said residents can be contacted to see if they may be interested in obtaining city water and sewer. Mayor Droste noted that because the mainlines will be in the street, it could be an option in the future for those residents to hook -up. MOTION by Riley to adopt A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PREPARATION OF A FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR COUNTY ROAD 38 IMPROVMENTS (TH3 —RR TRACKS) CITY PROJECT 393. Second by Strayton.
