NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the City Council of the City of Rosemount hereby
denies the concept planned unit development request requested by Heritage Development based
upon findings of fact:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The concept development fails to conform to intersection spacing criteria as it applies
towards the "Proposed Connemara Trail Extension" prepared by W.S.B. & Associates,
Engineering consultants for the City.
2. The concept development exhibits an off- -set intersection connecting with the proposed
Connemara Trail extension that is inconsistent with Collector street intersection standards
of the City.
3. The concept development does not provide local street connections to adjacent property
which would be consistent with Council policies for "neighborhood connectiveness ".
4. The concept forces adjacent properties to have separate access to Connemara Trail
extension because of the lack of local street connections.
5. The proposed park design is inconsistent with the recommendation of the Parks and
Recreation Commission. The resulting park does not result in useable open space large
enough for field activities such as soccer or softball. The proposed parkland provides
Resolution 2001-
6. small "truncated" spaces that may accommodate a trail, but little else.
7. The concept forces Connemara Trail access locations to be shifted in order to maintain
appropriate intersection spacing.
ADOPTED this 2nd day of October, 2001 by the City Council of the City of Rosemount.
