Public Comment Jeff Fadden, 12231 Biscayne Avenue, noted that he did not think it was appropriate for City Council to vote on a resolution proposed by Independent School District 196 in support of the levy question. Fadden felt it was not "city business." Fadden continued that Council Member Klassen should not be eligible to vote on it due to conflict of interest. Response to Public Comment Mayor Busho responded to the public comment of October 2, 2001. Three people interested in promoting yes votes on the school levy represented Independent School District 196. They had proposed a resolution that Council reviewed at a work session.

Each council member can individually decide how he or she wishes to support this issue. Consent Agenda Council Member Klassen requested discussion on Consent Agenda items 6. c.

Rosewood Mixed Use Concept PUD; Progress Land Company City Planner Pearson reviewed the concept Planned Unit Development (PUD) by Progress Land Company. It is 107 acres of land west of Biscayne Avenue between CSAH 42 and 145"' Street. This development will include 50 acres with 86 single family homes and 45 bay homes. This is near Greif Brothers industry. The Planning Commission agreed that this development is consistent with the comprehensive plan and meets all setbacks. Council Member Edwards objected to the size of the lots and home size. Pearson explained that the PUD allows higher density in one area when balanced by lower density in another area. Pearson explained that the City's overall goal for single family is 65 %. This development will bring the housing percentages to 73.4% for single family and 26.5% other, including multi- detached. Council Member Riley noted that there is an association which will J , ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 16, 2001 help to retain the home value. The commercial area and next to it will not be developed with this project. Any exception areas would have to go through the Planning Commission for approvals. Access points were discussed. The alignment of streets and placement of houses would allow for further street connections to the west if needed. Eight conditions were placed on their resolution approval which Progressive Land Company said they will comply- with. Mike Olson, Progressive Land Company, noted that there was no concept plan for the commercial, church area, or exception lot. Access is not likely to be allowed on CSAH 42. Olson did not think it appropriate to put housing close to CSAH 42. There is a tree inventory being done on the property and there will be some ponding on the church site. He plans to give a cash park dedication. Rick Harrison, explained the housing types. Bay homes have the parking in the rear with the front of the house facing the street. These homes will be 1200 to 2000 square feet and cost from $180,000 to - $220,000. An association will handle the maintenance. This type of home has been built in Hutchinson, Rogers, and Hanover, Minnesota. Council Member Riley noted that she liked the concept of the bay homes and thought there would be value there for buyers. MOTION by Busho to adopt A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE CONCEPT PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT FOR PROGRESS LAND COMPANY, INC. No second was applied. The motion died. City Planner Pearson noted that the developer has satisfied the regulations of the comprehensive guide plan. If they change a significant part, they must apply for an amendment. Council discussed the railroad noise and safety, Greif Brothers noise, and the land use issue. The zoning was changed to residential when the removal of the railroad spur was planned, but the spur was not removed. Riley suggested that an amendment to the comprehensive plan might be in order for the best use of the land.
