Reallocation of Debt Service Funds Finance Director May explained the process of reallocating surplus debt service funds due to the defeasance of several bonds. Approximately $8,400,000 in bonds were called and defeased last month which reduced our debt load and saved future interest payments. Some of these bonds will also have special assessment collections in the future which will add to their surplus. This surplus will be applied to other outstanding debt issues. The proposed resolution will allow staff the ability to use these future surplus funds by reallocating them to other debt. This surplus will be applied to the 1998A bond issue.

Motion passed. 1 ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS REGULAR MEETING FEBRUARY 6, 2003 Residential Development Concept for Basic Builders Community Development Director Parsons reviewed a concept plan to build twin homes east of the Rosemount Woods mobile home park. The railroad tracks would border the west side of the development. There are forty units proposed with 20 twin home lots which puts the density at 2.9 dwelling units per acre. A comprehensive plan amendment would be required to change the land use designation from Public & Institutional to Urban Residential. Attorney Reid Hansen representing Basic Builders, gave an historical review of the land use. Hansen noted the land was agricultural and then was guided to Public & Institutional when a request for an Islamic cemetery was made in 1993. The Dakota County HRA proposed townhomes in 1999 when a moratorium was placed on new projects until Metropolitan Council approved the new Comprehensive Guide Plan for 2020. Hansen requested the zoning be changed to Urban Residential which is compatible with the surrounding development. Council Member Kim Shoe - Corrigan asked about the outlot north of Connemara Trail. City Engineer Brotzler noted that lot would remain vacant to support storm water ponding. Shoe - Corrigan requested that language similar to what Claret Springs East development used be applied to buffer the area near the railroad tracks. Community Development Director Parsons was asked how Metropolitan Council may perceive the land use amendment. Parsons stated that this should be considered a minor amendment and with the density increase it should better meet Metropolitan Council's goals. Parsons noted that they should respond within sixty days. MOTION by Riley to adopt A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE CONCEPT FOR URBAN RESIDENTIAL HOUSING ON THE MCMENOMY - HERTOGS PROPERTY WITH CONDITIONS. Second by Droste. Ayes: Droste, Riley, DeBettignies, Shoe - Corrigan. Nays: None. Motion carried. Amend the 2003 Fee and Fee Policy (Parks & Rec. Park Dedication Fee & Policy) Parks & Recreation Director Schultz presented two recommended changes to the 2003 Fee Resolution. Fee reservations for the community center ice arena are recommended to include language to protect against revenue loss from those who reserve ice and then later cancel their reservation. This will exclude RAAA, Rosemount High School, or I.S. D. 196 since they have proved to follow through on their reservations and payments. Schultz further explained the basis for the increase to park dedication fees. The fair market value was assessed by an appraisal service which recommended $90,000 per acre for a commercial subdivision, $45,000 per acre for industrial subdivision, and $45,000 per acre for a new residential subdivision. The Parks and Recreation Commission recommend approval as well as staff. MOTION by Riley to approve A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE RATES AND FEES FOR 2003, RESOLUTION 2002 -153. Second by DeBettignies. Ayes: Riley, DeBettignies, Shoe - Corrigan, Droste. Nays: None. Motion carried.
