appropriate sections of the Draft AUAR. Revisions to Tables, Figures and text are
included in Appendix B.
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Comments
1. Pagel, .Paragraph 2
"Figure 5 -3 PUD Concept Plan, does not illustrate units located on the Apple Valley
portion of the site,"
Respons A current Concept Plan which includes the 56 units located on the Apple
Valley portion of the site is included in Appendix B of this document. Thank you for
noting this omission in the Draft AUAR.
2. Page 1, Para 3
"Item 6, Description -The project description describes housing densities after
construction. What would be the overall housing density with wetland areas
deducted ?"
Response:
The Draft AUAR notes that the AUAR area is proposed to contain an overall net density
of 2.8 units to the acre, based on a land area of 465 net acres (gross acreage of the site is
535 acres). Forty -two acres of wetlands have been identified on the site. If the 42 acres
are subtracted from 465 developable acres, 423 acres remain, giving an average density
of 2.9 units per acre.
3. Page 1 Parag 4
"Item 11, Fisheries Resources — In the past, the D;M1R has considered using Birger
Pond for game fish rearing, and would consider it again if the opportunity arose.
After development, local angling demand might develop for angling on the property.
Providing this opportunity may not be physically possible or ecologically sound."
Final AUAR — Kelley Trust Property
F
Response:
This informational comment will be added to Item 11 in the Final AUAR,
4. Page 1. Paragraph 5 and b
"Item 12, Physical Impacts on Water Resources — The AUAR states that "Final site
plans and grading plans will identify the wetlands that will be affected and degree of
impact." Plans should also indicate how impacts will be avoided or maintained
below levels established in the City's Wetland Management Plan. We recommend
that buffers around wetlands be clearly delineated and marked with corner markers
or monuments at lot corners to make them visible and to aid enforcement of the
buffer requirements."
I Response.
The developer and City agree to implement these recommendations. The statement, "Site
plans will indicate methods that will be used to avoid impacts to wetlands and meet the
requirements of the City's Wetland Management Plan. Buffers around wetlands will be
clearly delineated with corner markers or monuments at lot corners to make them visible
and to aid enforcement of the buffer requirements," will be added to the Final AUAR.
"The City has a Protected Waters permit pending for a pumped outlet from Birger
Pond. The DNR expects to be able to issue the permit shortly."
Response:
This informational statement will be added to the Final AUAR under Item 12.
5. Page 1, Pa rma h
"Item 14, Water - Related Land Use Management Districts — The west portion of the
site, located in Apple Valley, lies within the shoreland district of Farquar Lake.
Development within the shoreland district (1000 feet from Farquar Lake) must
comply with Apple Valley's shoreland ordinance. There is no shoreland district in
the Rosemount portion of the project."
Response:
We will add the information in this paragraph to the Final AUAR under Item 14. A
statement will be included as follows: "The west portion of the site, located in Apple
Valley, lies within the Shoreland District of Farquar Lake. Development within. the
shoreland district (1000 feet from Farquar Lake) will comply with Apple Valley's
Shoreland Ordinance. There is no Shoreland District in the Rosemount portion of the
project."

6. Page 2. Paragraph I
"Item 17, Erosion and Sedimentation – The majority of the site contains highly
erodible soils, and steep slopes are numerous. Development of, and strict adherence
to, a detailed erosion control plan is critical for protection of the wetland resources
' on the site. We encourage the developer to work closely with the Dakota County
SWCD to develop an erosion control plan."
' R esponse:
The draft AUAR identifies the areas of steep slopes and highly erodible soils on the
' Kelley Trust site. The Mitigation Plan includes measures to prevent or minimize erosion
and sedimentation on the site, and indicates that the developer will implement the
MPCA's Best Management Practices (BMP's) as the guidelines for urban erosion and
' sediment control on the site. The developer will work closely with the Cities and Dakota
County SWCD to develop an erosion control plan for the site.
' 7. Page 2, Paragraph 2
"Item 18, Water Quality, Surface Water Runoff -- We encourage the city and the
1 developer to investigate using drought - resistant turf where possible, and to
encourage use of phosphorus -free fertilizer to protect water quality."
Response:
We will add this statement to the Mitigation Plan for this item: "The Cities and the
' developer will investigate using drought- resistant turf where possible, and will encourage
residents to use phosphorus -free fertilizer to protect water quality ".
' 8. Pane 2, Para , 2ralffi 3
"Item 30, Cumulative Impacts —While the AUAR is a tool for reviewing cumulative
' impacts of multiple projects in a defined area, it is no better than an EAW for
evaluating cumulative effects of activities adjacent or outside the study area. The
D1tiR recommends RGUs not limit cumulative effects analysis to the AUAR
' boundary.
Response:
Thank you for this informational comment. The Draft AUAR has analyzed effects of
development activities outside the study area where applicable, for example traffic and
' noise impacts outside the study area, and storm water impacts where storm water will
flow outside the study area (Birger Pared).

Metropolitan Council Comments
1. Page 1, Paragraph 3 and 4
"The description of the project on page four says that there will be a total of 64.9 net
acres of multiple - family housing at a density of 4.8 units per acre ... and 323.8 net
acres of single - family "attached" units at a net density of 2.6 units per acre ... and an
overall area of 465 net acres and an overall net density of 2.5 units per acre. The
numbers do not add up.
If the project proposes to build a total of 1,209 dwelling units on 465 net acres of
land, the net density of the entire project is 2.6 units per net acre. The AUAR on
page three says that there will be 360 multiple- family units of which 50 will be built
in Apple Valley, If there are 64.9 net acres developed for 360 multiple - family units,
the net density would be 5.5 units per acre. If there were 323.8 net acres developed
for 849 single - family units, the net density would be 2.6 units per acre. These
numbers total 1,209 units on 388.7 net acres, a net density of 3.1 units per acre.
However this net acreage is different from the 465 net acres also mentioned on page
four. If the net density of the entire project is 2.6 units per acre, this is less than the
minimum three units per net acre urban density recommended by the Council."
Response
Density calculations The draft AUAR correctly states that there is a total of 1,209 units,
broken down into 360 multiple family attached units and 849 single family detached lots.
Page 3 of the text goes onto explain that 1,153 units will be located in the City of
Rosemount, with the remaining 56 being located in the City of Apple Valley. Of these 56
units, the text states that 50 are to be townhouse units and 6 are to be single - family units.
The information is all currently accurate.
The density calculations that are provided on page 4 of the text, however, were not based
on a total of 1,209 units, but rather by our error, only on 1,153 units within the
Rosemount portion of the project, and the net acreage used by those units. The total
number of units and density calculations should reflect t1he 1,209 total units. The Text on
page 4 should therefore be updated to reflect the Apple Valley units and acreage, as
follows:
L J
"The 360 multiple family attached units are proposed to be located in the southeastern
and western portions of the AUAR area, comprising an approximate total of 100 acres of
land, and containing a net density of 3.6 units per acre. The 849 single- family detached
units would be located throughout the remainder of the site, comprising an approximate
total of 329.8 acres, and a net density of 2.6 dwelling units per acre. The AUAR area is
proposed to contain an overall net density of 2.8 units to the acre, based on a land area of
429.8 net acres."

Response:
The Draft AUAR (Item 8) will be modified to indicate that both Rosemount and Apple

mitigating for unavoidable impacts ... The developer shall follow the requirements of the
City of Rosemount and City of Apple Valley Wetland Management Plans and applicable
state and federal regulations to avoid, minimize, and /or mitigate for impacts to wetlands

"Item 18: Water Quality - Surface Water Runoff—The AUAR discusses the need to
lower the ordinary high water level (OIIWL) for Birger Pond. The city of
Rosemount has worked with the DNR and VRWI''rIO to develop a management plan
for this basin. Council staff is concerned about this basin and the increased runoff
that will be discharged to the basin as development occurs. The developer should
work very closely to monitor changes in the pond levels to make sure that the
proposed solutions are actually working. The proposed pond outlet will discharge
to Lakeville and ultimately to the Vermillion River. There is a flooding problem for
the downstream communities along the Vermillion River. This makes it even more
important that the proposed development and discharges to Birger Pond are
carefully managed."
Respon
In the development of the outlet control for Birger Pond, the entire development area
contributing to Birger Pond was examined and evaluated for fully developed conditions.
This analysis included a fully developed Kelley Trust property at a density greater than
what is currently proposed. Because the outlet out of Birger Pond is at a relatively slow
rate, the Birger Pond ponding area will hold a 100 -year storm with no outlet. The City
will continue to monitor ponding levels to make sure that the pond is operating within
design parameters. While we agree that the ultimate pond outlet for this area will be
through the City of Lakeville and to the Vermillion River, there are no plans at this time
or for the immediate future to complete an outlet to Lakeville. At this time the runoff
will be maintained within Shannon Pond located within the City of Rosemount. We do
not anticipate any flooding problems for downstream communities at this time and the
future outlet will be designed in a manner that will minimize downstream disturbances to
the Vermillion River.

Resp onse:
There are several issues to address in this comment regarding a potential wildlife corridor
on the site:
Corridors in Dakota Coant Rosemount City staff have discussed wildlife corridor
issues with staff from the Minnesota DNR Natural Heritage Program. The DNR has
identified a corridor along the Mississippi River as the significant wildlife corridor within
the city. No corridor has been identified by the DNR on or near the Kelley Trust Site. It
is clear from the SWCD communication of February 2, 2000, that the County is in very
preliminary stages of mapping farmlands and natural areas in. the County, and has
identified the general area south of Lebanon Hills Park as a potential corridor. No
specific information has been provided about the type (,recreational, habitat, or other type)
or significance of this corridor, which species are significant for corridor planning in this

Charac of wildlife habitat areas and corridors. The scientific literature in the field
of Landscape Ecology suggests that a variety of kinds of wildlife habitat areas are
important in the landscape. These include "patches" of protected habitat as well as
"corridor" areas between them ( Landscape Ecology, Forman and Godron, 1986).
"Corridors" are routes or conduits for movement. Many types of corridors have wildlife
habitat value - -- including narrow strip corridors along hedgerows and fences, wider
environmental resource corridors along streams and ridgetops, and planted corridors
along shelterbelts and roadways. Each ty e of corridor has benefits for particular wildlife
species. Strip corridors such as hedgerows have been found to be particularly significant
for bird species, while wider corridors are needed for larger mammal species. Corridors
with streams and interconnected water features are important to amphibians and many
other species.
Final AvAR — Kelley Trust Property 15
' The scientific literature suggests that wide corridors, such as the 300' corridor suggested
by the S\N'CD comment, usually follow natural landscape connections such as streams
' and ridgetops. Such corridors are natural movement areas for many species, and offer
habitat elements (water, food, and cover) that make these corridors useful as habitat.
(See literature review in Best Development Practices, Ewing, 1996, and discussion about
corridor types in Forman and Godron).
Options for wildlife corridors were reviewed as a part of the analysis completed for the
Draft AUAK. No such wide, natural landscape corridor is available on the Kelley Trust
Property site. No stream corridor is available on the site. A ridgeline exists to the north
of the site, in the area occupied by larger -lot residential areas. This area may offer a
' significant habitat corridor, depending on the species of concern, and could be considered
by Dakota County as it develops its corridor plan and implementation strategies.
Habitat corridor identified on the Kelley T rust Site. A corridor that could facilitate
animal movement from. north to south is visible within the site, and could be enhanced by
plantings. This corridor connects wetlands and ponds at the north end of the site (near
Shannon Parkway), along the east side of the elementary school property, to the ponds
directly south. A "bird sanctuary" with appropriate plantings is planned for the senior
housing area just south of the elementary school. The developer will work with the City
' to modify planting plans in this area to enhance its use as a corridor for wildlife
movement within the site. The County may investigate options for continuation of the
corridor outside the Kelley Trust Property, and work with private landowners in adjacent
' areas to protect any identified connecting areas.
The Kelley Trust site and surrounding areas are already fragmented by existing
' developed areas and major roadways. Additional analysis by the County is needed to
identify potential viable corridors and. species of concern in the area south of Lebanon
Hills.
species, or species of concern have been identified on the site.
Protection of si2nifica wildlife habitat resources on the site. The high quality wildlife
habitat areas remaining on the Kelley Trlast site are the oak woodlands in the north -
central and northwest portions of the site, and the wetlands scattered through the central
portion of the site. These are relatively large patches of diverse, high quality oak
woodlands, and small, high quality wetlands. They are the only high quality natural areas
remaining on the site, which has had most of its natural community areas heavily altered
by agricultural uses. "Therefore, the site plan proposes protection and restoration of these
communities, and establishment of line -type corridors among them to provide
connections for the animal species using the site. The wildlife species currently using the
site are species common to urban and agricultural areas. No endangered or threatened

Future corridor planning efforts. The County's natural areas planning efforts should
identify high - quality habitat patches, such as the woodlands on the Kelley Trust property,
as well as potential wildlife travel corridors of a variety of types, to meet the needs of a
variety of wildlife species. These may include significant natural corridors, such as the
Vermillion River and Mississippi River, that offer good possibilities for the establishment
of wide, protected corridors, as well as narrow "line" corridors along roadways and fence
rows. These efforts should be based on identification of species of concern and their
critical habitats (see discussion in Forman and Godron, as well as Landscape Linkages
and Biodiversity, Hudson, 1991).
When the County has completed its inventory and mapping of habitat and corridor areas,
it should identify mechanisms for protection of these areas, such as the use of
conservation easements, fee title purchase of significant properties, transfer of
development rights, etc. A good model for this effort is the completed Greenway Plan
for Washington County, Minnesota, which includes a variety of mechanisms for
protection of the significant greenways for habitat and recreation that have been
identified in the County. The County will then be able to work with private landowners
to permanently protect significant habitat areas.
In summar: T he Minnesota DNR and Dakota County's natural areas planning efforts
' have not identified a major wildlife movement corridor on the Kelley Trust property site.
No significant natural corridor such as a stream or ridge line exists on the site. The site
has been highly altered and fragmented by agricultural uses, surrounding residential
' development, and existing roadways. Wide corridor connections to habitat areas off-site
are not readily apparent.
' The analysis completed for the AUAR identified the significant habitat patches remaining
on the site, and potential corridors for wildlife movement among these areas. The
developer and city will work together to increase the habitat value of a north -south
corridor on the site, immediately east of the elementary school. The high quality habitat
areas and this corridor connection is proposed for protection and restoration in the
Mitigation Plan (Goals 4,5 and 6).
As the County completes its corridor analysis and planning efforts, it may identify a
significant wildlife movement corridor in the vicinity of the Kelley Trust site, or
additional important habitat patches in the area and opportunities for line corridor
connections to those on the Kelley Trust site. It should identify mechanisms for
protection and enhancement of these areas, and work cooperatively with landowners to
establish permanent protection of areas identified as significant in the county -wide plan.

The City has worked with the Minnesota DNR to develop management plan for Birger
Pond. In the development of the outlet control for Birger Pond, the entire development
area contributing to Birger Pond was examined and evaluated for fully developed
conditions. This analysis included a fully developed Kelley Trust Property at a density
greater than what is currently proposed for this site. Because the outlet out of Birger
Pond is at a relatively slow rate, the Birger Pond ponding area will hold a 100 -year event
storm with no outlet. The City will continue to monitor ponding levels to make sure that
the pond is operating within design parameters. While we agree that the ultimate pond
outlet for this area will be through the City of Lakewille and to the Vermillions River,
there are no plans at this time or for the immediate future to complete an outlet to
Lakeville. At this time the runoff will be maintained within Shannon Pond located within
the City of Rosemount. We do not anticipate any flooding problems for downstream
communities at this time and the future outlet will be designed in a manner that will
minimize downstream disturbances to the Vermillion River.

the Draft AUAR, the trip rates utilized were those contained and used in the Dakota
' County 20 -year traffic projection model. We used these to be consistent with future
volume projects in Dakota County. Using ITE trip rates would provide an estimate of
10,000 vehicles per day, which is 1,450 more trips than the Dakota County projection
' model would predict. We believe the Dakota County values to be viable. However,
using the ITE trip rates, an additional 1,450 trips, spread over the project
approach/departure routes, will not cause any problems with regard to roadway capacity.
No additional mitigation would be required using the ITE trip rates for trips generated.

Appendix B. Mitigation Plan — Rosemount Kelley Trust Property
(Revised for Final AUAR)
1.0 Introduction
This comprehensive environmental protection plan has been prepared as a part of the
Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) process for the City of Rosemount —
Kelley Trust Property. The proposed development area also includes a portion of the
City of Apple Valley. This plan is intended to satisfy the AUAR rules that require
preparation of a "mitigation plan" that specifies measures or procedures that will be used
to protect the environment from potential impacts of development of the Kelley Trust
Property. Finally, the plan specifies legal and financial measures and institutional
arrangements that will assure that the mitigation measures recommended in the plan are
implemented. The mitigation plan will be used by the Cities of Rosemount and Apple
Valley to guide development of the Kelley Trust Property through the avoidance,
minimization, and /or mitigation of environmental impacts.
The plan is not intended to modify the regulatory agencies' responsibilities for
implementing their respective regulatory programs, or to create additional
regulatory requirements. This mitigation plan is not intended to deprive or divest
any person of any use of property or right to which they are entitled by law.
Finally, the AUAR and this mitigation plan may be silent as to environmental
concerns or impacts that may arise later within the context of specific development
proposals, and could not be anticipated during the AUAR process. This should not
be construed as a bar to requests for and commitments by the City and the project
proposers to compile new and /or additional environmental impact information and
analysis.
The Cities of Rosemount and Apple Valley recognize that the emphasis of the AUAR is
to closely examine the environmental impacts of proposed development on the Kelley
Trust Property, as described in the P.U.D. plan. In additional to environmental impacts,
the Cities must consider other issues as the area develops, including land use, design
issues, finances, economics and transportation concerns. The Cities must balance all of
these concerns along with environmental impacts through specific plan development and
design review process.
The Mitigation Plan is proposed based on existing conditions and existing information at
the time of its writing. If new information, conditions or mitigation methods develop
after the approval of this plan, the Cities may convene representative members from the
natural resources agencies and organizations on the Technical Committee to consider the
new information and develop new recommendations to meet the goals identified in the
Mitigation Plan.
Finally, this AUAR specifically identifies and analyzes the environmental impacts of
development within the Kelley Trust Property area. However, actions outside the area
7
are beyond the control of the Cities of Rosemount and Apple Valley, and may affect the
natural resources that the Mitigation Plan protects or mitigates. The Cities are committed
to try to coordinate protection of the natural resources with other agencies and
organizations as listed in the Mitigation Plan.
The goals and strategies included in this plan were developed with the assistance of a
Technical Advisory Committee for the AUAR process. The assistance of these
individuals and their organizations is gratefully acknowledged.

2.0 High Quality Natural Communities — Woodlands and Wetlands
The wetland and woodland inventories completed on the site have identified some high
quality natural communities remaining on the Kelley Trust Property. City Wetland
Management Plans have identified the functions and values of local wetlands, and
specified specific strategies for protection and mitigation of losses to wetlands and their
associated buffers. These communities and their quality rankings are identified on
Figure 10 -2 and discussed in detail in the AUAR analysis. The goals and strategies that
follow are proposed to maintain and /or restore the quality of the high quality natural
communities that remain on the property as development occurs in the future.
Goal 1: Protect and restore the two high quality woodland areas that remain
on the Kelley Trust Property. These include the oak savanna identified in the west
central portion of the property, and higher - quality portions of the large oak
woodland in the northeast portion of the site.
Protection Strategies:
1. Protect these areas with conservation easements or protective covenants that
prohibit development, and allow only passive recreational use of these areas.
' 2. Develop and implement management plans that restore the quality of the native
communities on these sites.
Responsible parties: Private developer and homeowner's association
Regulatory program: N/A
' Implementation timeframe: Conservation easements /protective covenants
should be completed as development occurs. The restoration and management
plan should be implemented by the homeowner's association.
Goal 2: Protect healthy individual trees and groves of trees where possible,
and mitigate for any loss of trees through replanting.
' Protection Strategies:
' 1. Complete a tree preservation plan as required in the Cities' Tree Preservation
Ordinances. As a part of this plan, identify individual trees and groves of trees for
protection.
2. Replace trees that are lost to development based on the requirements of the Cities'
Tree Preservation Ordinances.
r
Responsible parties: Private developer
Regulatory program: City Tree Preservation Ordinances
Implementation time frame: Tree preservation plans should be developed along
with grading plans for the development. Protection and replacement should occur
as the development plan is implemented.
Goal 3: Utilize trees that are removed during development rather than burning or
disposing them as waste.
Protection Strategies:
1. Work with the Minnesota DNR, Dakota SWCD, and other appropriate agencies to
identify ways in which the trees removed during development may be put to
positive use. (For example, trees and root balls may be used as a part of local
stream restoration activities).
Responsible parties: Private Developer, Minnesota DNR, Dakota DWCD
Regulatory program: N/A

L
Implementation time frame: Contact agencies before tree removal begins.
Dispose of trees as portions of the project area are cleared for development.
Goal 4: Protect wetland resources in the project area to assure no net loss of
these resources by avoiding and minimizing wetland impacts when feasible, and
mitigating for unavoidable impacts.
Protection Strategies:
Follow the requirements of the City of Rosemount's Comprehensive Wetland
Management Plan and Apple Valley Wetland Plan and applicable state and
federal regulations to avoid, minimize and /or mitigate for impacts to wetlands that
result from development.
' The Cities shall allow "averaging" of buffer widths: the total area of buffer
required by the ordinances shall be required, but the width of the buffer may be
narrower in some areas (to accommodate road development, for example) if it is
' increased in other areas of the same wetland to meet the total area required over
the entire wetland.

3.0 Wildlife and Sensitive Resources
J
1
Wildlife habitat value is dependent on the composition, quality, and connectivity of plant
communities, such as woodlands and wetlands. Therefore, implementation of the
strategies identified under Section 2.0 above will also serve to protect wildlife habitat on
the Kelley Trust Property,
The Minnesota DNR's Natural Heritage Program database indicated that there are three
known occurrences of Blanding's turtles (Emydoidea blandingii), a state threatened
species in the vicinity of the project, though not within the site boundaries. The DNR
noted that while there are no records of this species within the projct area, it is possible
that turtles exist in the area.
Goal 6. Protect the remaining high quality habitat areas on the Kelley Trust
Property Site as the area develops. Identify potential wildlife and recreation
corridors and open space areas. Include natural community areas in these
corridors, parks and open space areas, and use corridors to connect natural
communities and open space areas.

5. Require that the developer provide security for the performance of its obligations
regarding erosion control as a part of requirements for grading permits. The
' security may consist of a bond or other security as required by city ordinances.
Responsible parties: Private developer, Cities, Dakota SWCD
Regulatory program: City Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances
Implementation timeframe: Developer approach and use of BMP's should be
specified in grading plan. Adoption and enforcement of BMP's should occur
' throughout the development process.
' 5.0 Surface Water Quality
Goal 8: Protect and maintain the quality of surface waters (lakes and
wetlands) in the Kelley Trust Property.
City Wetland Management Plans have identified the quality of wetlands within the
Kelley Trust Property, and noted that a number of high quality wetlands remain within
the site. One large water body, Birger Pond, exists within the site, and has experienced
elevated water levels during the past 8 to 10 years due to increased development in its
watershed area. The Apple Valley and Rosemount Surface Water Management Plans
include goals, policies and strategies for the protection of surface waters as development
occurs within these cities. The Cities have worked with staff of the Natural Resource
agencies to develop a management plan for Birger Pond,

b. Are there any state - listed endangered, threatened, or special- concern species;
rare plant communities: colonial tivaterbird nesting colonies; native prairie or
' other rare habitats; or other sensitive ecological resources on or near the
site? X Yes No
I Fish Resources
No known fishery or fish habitat resources will be affected by the proposed development.
The Minnesota DNR indicated that in the past it has considered using Birger Pond for
game fish rearing, and would consider it again if the opportunity arose. After
' development, local angling demand might develop for angling on the property. Providing
this opportunity may not be physically possible or ecologically sound.
Wildlife Resources
Wildlife habitat value is dependent on the composition, quality and connectivity of
' natural communities including woodlands, wetlands and grasslands. The highest quality
natural communities remaining in the Kelley Trust Property are the higher quality
woodlands and wetlands described in the preceding section on Land Cover Types. Much
of the remaining land cover of the Kelley Trust Property has been altered in the past by
farming and grazing. Measures that protect the diversity of these remaining high quality
habitats are emphasized in the Mitigation Plan.
MITIGATIVE MEASURES FOR WILDLIFE RESOURCES:
' Wildlife habitat value is dependent on the composition quality and connectivity of plant
communities, such as woodlands and wetlands. Therefore, implementation of the
strategies identified under Mitigation Measures for Natural Communities above, will
also serve to protect wildlife habitat on the Kelley Trust Property as development occurs.
Goal: Protect the remaining high quality habitat areas on the Kelley Trust property site
as the area develops. Identify potential wildlife and recreation corridors and open space
areas. Include natural community areas in these public open space areas, and use
corridors to connect natural communities and protected open spaces.
Protection and Mitigation Strategies:
1. The developer and Cities shall implement the strategies identified under
p p g
' Mitigation Measures for Natural Communities to protect the high quality
wetland and upland resources and wildlife habitat that exist on the site.
2. The developer and city shall implement city park and trail plans, designing parks
and trails to protect and connect natural communities and habitat areas.

Will the project involve the physical or hydrologic alteration (dredging, filling,
stream diversion, outfall structure, diking, impoundment) of any surface water
(lake, pond wetland, stream, drainage ditch)?
X Yes No
' If yes, identify the water resource to be affected and describe: the alteration,
including the construction process; volumes of dredged or fill material; area
affected; length of stream diversion; water surface area affected; timing and
extent of fluctuations in water surface elevations; spoil disposal sites; and
proposed mitigation to minimize impacts.
It is anticipated that construction of residential units and utilities on the site will
impact some of the wetlands on the site and their buffer areas. Final site plans and
grading plans will identify the wetlands that will be affected and degree of impact.
The City has a Protected Waters permit pending for a pumped outlet from Birger
Pond. The DNR expects to be able to issue the permit shortly.
MITIGATION MEASURES FOR IMPACTS ON WATER RESOURCES
(WETLANDS)
The mitigation plan includes strategies to protect wetlands within the proposed
development area, and mitigate for losses resulting from development activities on
' the site:
Goal: Protect wetland resources in the project area to assure no net loss of these
' resources by avoiding and minimizing wetland impacts when feasible, and mitigating for
unavoidable impacts.
' Protection and Mitigation Strategies:
1. The developer shall follow the requirements of the City of Rosemount and City of
Apple Valley Wetland Management Plans and applicable state and federal
regulations to avoid, minimize and /or mitigate for impacts to wetlands that result
from development. The Cities shall allow "averaging" of buffer widths on some
wetlands where this will not compromise wetland and buffer function.
( "Averaging" means that buffer widths may be reduced on one portion of a
wetland, but would be enlarged on another portion of the same wetland buffer, so
that the overall buffer size remains the same.)
2. Site plans will indicate methods that will be used to avoid impacts to wetlands and
' meet the requirements of the City's Wetland Management Plan. Buffers around
wetlands will be clearly delineated with corner markers or monuments at lot
corners to make them visible and to aid enforcement of the buffer requirements.
' Goal: Protect and maintain the quality of surface water flows to wetlands

from Farquar Lake) will comply with Apple Valley's Shoreland Ordinance.
There is no Shoreland District in the Rosemount portion of the project.
15. Water Surface Use
TVill the project change the number or type of water craft on any water body.
Yes X No
If yes, indicate the current and projected watercraft usage and discuss any
potential overcrowding or conflicts with other users or fish and wildlife
resources. This item need only be addressed if the A UAR area would include or
adjoin recreational water bodies.
16. Soils
a. Approximate depth (in feet) to
Groundwater: minimum 0 average 100
Bedrock.. minimum l0 t._ average 200 tt.
b. Describe the soils on the site, giving SCS classification, if known. (SCS
' interpretations and soil boring logs need not be attached.) A standard soils
map covering the area should be included.
' Figure 16 -1 indicates the soils on the site. The geologic atlas indicated that the site is
mainly covered by surficial deposits of till, which is composed of reddish -brown sandy
loam. Stringers of sand and gravel may be present within this till, but generally this
' material is not highly permeable and does not allow high infiltration rates. The extreme
eastern edge of the project area is covered with deposits of outwash, which consists
mainly of sand and gravel. These materials generally allow much higher infiltration rates
than till, but this area comprises less than 20% of the overall project area.
' The majority of the soil types indicated by the Dakota County Soil Survey to be present
in the study area exhibit moderate infiltration rates. In general, the majority of soils are

5. The developer will use skimmers or other outlet controls, NURP basins as a
minimum, and siltation basins on ponds located upstream of priority waterbodies
and wetlands to protect water quality.
6. The developer will limit phosphorous levels from development areas to natural
concentrations through proper sizing and design of ponds to provide for a
minimum of 60 percent phosphorous removal.
7. The developer will implement the goals and policies of the Cities' wetland
management plans to protect the water quality of wetlands in the development
area.
8. The City of Rosemount will implement the management plan for Birger Pond
developed with the Minnesota DNR.
9. The City and the developer will encourage residents to use phosphorus -free
fertilizer to protect water quality.
19. Water Quality— Wastewaters
a. Describe sources, quantities, and composition (except for normal domestic
sewage) of all sanitary and industrial wastewaters produced or treated at the site.
Normal domestic sewage is the only type of wastewater expected from the uses in the
annexation area. The quantities and handling of the wastewater are presented in the
Cities' Sanitary Sewer System Plans and are proposed to be fully implemented in the
study area.
b. Describe any waste treatment methods to be used and give estimates of
composition after treatment, or if the project involves on -site sewage systems,
discuss the suitability of the site conditions for such systems. Identify receiving
waters (including ground water) and estimate the impact of the discharge on the
quality of the receiving waters. (If discharge may affect a lake consult "EAW
Guidelines" about whether a nutrient budget analysis is needed.)
All proposed residential units will be connected with the Cities' sanitary sewer systems.
These sanitary sewer facilities are connected to and treated at a Metropolitan regional
facility, the Rosemount treatment plant. Capacity at the plant is adequate to serve the
proposed development.
C. If wastes will be discharged into a sewer system or pretreatment system, identify
the system and discuss the ability of the system to accept the volume and
composition of the wastes. Identify any improvements, which will be necessary.
The quantities and handling of the wastewater are discussed in the City's sanitary sewer
system plan. The Cities' trunk facilities are sized to handle the increase in sewage from
the Kelley Trust Property P.U.D. The Metropolitan treatment facility has sufficient
capacity to receive this additional flow as outlined in the Cities' Comprehensive Plans.

8. Permits and Approvals Required
List all known local, state and federal permits, approvals, and funding required. A
list of' major approvals likely to be required by the anticipated types of
development projects should be given. This list will help orient reviewers to the
idea that the AUAR process is only one piece of the regulatory framework that
will protect environmental resources. The list can also serve as a starting point
for the development of the implementation aspects of the mitigation plan to be

Re; Rosemount Kelley Trust Property
Draft Alternative Urban ,Areawide Review (AUAR)
Dear N Pearson:
The Department of Natural RessouTcos (DINR) has reviewed the Draft AUAR for the proposed
development of the Rosemount Kelley Trust Property. Cren;rally the AUAR is complete and rize
infornation provided is accurate. We offer the following Comments for your, consideration in
preparing the Fir;al AJAR document.
Figure 5 -3, PUD Concept flan, does not illustrate units located on. the: Apple Valley portion cf
the sits.
Item 6, Description - The project description describes housing densities after construction.
What would be the ovcTall housing density with wetland areas deducted?
Item 11. Fisheries Resources - In the past, the 5 INR has considered using Birger Pond for
gamefish rearing, and would consider it again if the opportunity arose. After development, local
anglkig demand might develop for angling or, the property. Providing this opportunity may not
be physically possible or ecologically sound
Item 12, Phy3ical impacts on Water Resources - T11e. AUAR states that "Final site plans and
grading plans w ill idenaify the wetlands that will be affected and degree of impacr." Plans
should also indicate how impacts will be avoided or mai ntai n ed below levels established in Lhe
City's `Vetland Management Plan. We recommend that buffers around wetlands be clearly
delineated and marked with corner markers or ,nonutnents at lot corners to make there visible
and to aid enforcement of the buffer requimments.
The City has a protected Waters permit pending for a pumped outlet from Birgar pond. The
DNTR expects to be able to issue the permit shortly.
Item14, Water- Related Land Use Management Districts - The west portion of the site, located it
.Apple Valley, lies within the shoreland district of Farquar Lake. Development within the

RE- Kelley Trust Property Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) — Rosemount and
Apple Valley
Mefopolitan Council Districts 15 and 16 (Carolyn Rodriguez and John Conzemius)
Referral File No, 1$137 -1
Dear Mr. Pearson:
Metropolitan. Council staff has conducted a review of tre Kelley Tnist Property AUAR to
determine its adequacy and accuracy in addressing regional concerns. The staff review has
concluded that the AL is complete and accurate with respect to regional concerns and raises
no major issues of consistency with Council policies. however, staff provides the following
technical comments for your consideration:
The proposed development project involves the construction of 1,209 dwelling units, including
360 multiple- family attached units and 849 single - family detached lots on 585 gross acres of
land. Fifty acres of the project area are within the city of Apple Valley.
Item 6 — Description
' The description of the project on page four says that there will be a total of 64.9 net acres of
multiple - family housing at a density of 4.8 units.per acre, .,and 323.8 net acres of single-family
- "attached" unita -at.a -net density of 2.6 units per acre.. _and an overall area of 465 net acres. and a
overall net density of 2.5 units per acre. The numbers do not add up.
' If the project proposes to build a total of 1,209 dwelling units on 465 net acres of land, the net
density of the entire project is 2.6 units per net acre. The AUAR on page three says that there
will be 360 multiple - family units of which 50 will be. built in Apple Valley. If there are 64.9 net
' acres developed for 360 multiple- family units, the net density would be 5.5 iuiits per acre. If
there were 323.8 net acres developed for 849 single - family unhs, the net density would be 2.6
units per acre. These numbers total 1,209 units on 388.7 net acres, a net density of 3.1 units per
acre. however, this net acreage is different from the 465 net acres also mentioned on page four.
If the net density of the entire project is 2.6 units per acre, this is less than the minimum three
units per net acre urban density recommended by the Council.

' Item 8 — Permits and Approvals Required
The AUAR mentions that the city of Rosemount will need an approved Tier II Sewer
Plan prior to completing this project. Tier H sewer plans are required elements of
' community comprehensive plan updates. Comprehensive plan updates need to be
submitted to the Council for review for all communities that plan to alter, expand, or
improve their sewage disposal system. The cities of Apple Valley and Rosemount will
' need to have approved Tier 1I Sewer Plans before any additions ar alterations can be
initiated for the proposed development.
The AUAR states that the city is the Local Governmental Unit (LGU) for the Wetland
Conservation Act. As both Rosemount and .fipple Valley are involved in permitting the
project, each is probably the LGU under the Wetland Conservation Act for their
' respective proposed development areas. Ir. any case, the developer should work with the
cities, the Vermillion River Watershed Management Organization (VRWMO), the
Department of Natural Resources (MR), and possibly the U.S. Army Corps of
' Engineers (COE) to assure the intent of the Wetland Conservation Act is upheld. All
wetland loss should be avoided if possible. Where wetland loss is unavoidable, proper
mitigation is required.
' Itenz 10 — Cover Types
' This section indicates that the size of impervious surface will increase from three to 147
acres. Of the total 580 -acre site, 25 percent will be impervious, 51 percent will be lawn,
landscaping and parks, ? 7 percent will be brush/grassland and wooded/forest and seven
' percent will be wetland and watercourses. The impervious percentage will increase from
less than one percent to over 25 percent. The developer should work with the two cities,
the VRWMO, and the Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) to
' — design and construct the- best.erosion control and stormwater management practices for
the project area. Stormwater management practices may include things such as detention
basins, infiltration basins, filter strips, rainwater gardens, and vegetated swales while
erosion control measures may include things such as hay bales, silt fence and check.
dams.
The AUAR does a good job of evaluating the woodland areas and identifying which areas
are the high, low and moderate protection areas. The developer should continue to work
with the cities to determine the actions needed to protect the high priority protection
areas. The developer should work with the communities, the SWCD, and the DNR to
determine the appropriate mitigation measures for woodlands lost during development.
The city of Rosemount has completed a wetland function and value assessment. The
' developer should continue to work with the two cornrnunities, the SWCD, the VRWMO,

and the DNR to assure high priority wetlands are protected and impacts to lower priority
wetlands are properiy mitigated.
Item 11— Fish, Wildlife, and Sensitive Resources
The DNR Natural Heritage Program database indicated that there were three known
occurrences of Blanding's turtles, a state threatened speries, in tha vicinity of the project.
To minimize impacts on the turtles, the developer should work with the DNR to develop
a management program. Typically, we would recommend that at a minimum, workers be
informed of the preserice of Biandiitg's turtles in the area.
Item 12 — Physical Impacts an Water Resources
' It is anticipated that future development of the site will impact some of the on -site
wetlands and their buffer areas. Final site plats and grading plans will identify thc:
wetlands that will be affected and the degree of impact. The developer should agree to
' work with the cities, the DNR, the VRWMO, and the SWCD to find the best solutions to
wetland impacts. Since the citywide assessment of wetland function and value has been
made, the expectation of Council staff is that wetlands identified for preservation should
' be avoided entirely. By approving this AUAR, we are assuming that this issue is not
closed. We reserve the right to question wetland impacts and mitigation discussions that
may arise in the future through our review of DNR protected waters and COE permits.
' Item 17 —Erosion and Sedimentation
' The AUAR indicates that over 800,000 cubic yards of soil will be moved and graded for
the proposed project. There are many areas on the site that have slopes greater than 12
percent. Most of the project area is classified as having soils that are highly erodible or
' potentially highlyerodible, These two facts cause a significant amount of concern. The
developer will need to make the extra effort to ensure that proper erosion control
measures are in place before any dirt is moved. It most likely will not be enough to use
just the typical erosion control measures such as hay bales and silt fence at this site. The
developer should work with the cities, the 'VRWMO, and the SWCD to determine the
most effective best management practices to use at this site.
The developer should obtain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) constructionn permit for this site. Erosion and sedimentation control practices
' must comply with the Minnesota Pollution Control .Agency's urban "best management
practices," titled Protecting Water Quality in Urban Areas or an equivalent set of
standards for erosion control. The developer will need to work with the appropriate
' regulatory agencies to prepare a suitable erosion control management plan for this site.

Typically any site that plans to disturb more than five acres of soil should have some type
of temporary sediment basins or suitable trapping devices.
Item 18 - Water Quality - Surface Water Runoff
The AUAR discusses the need to lower the ordinary high water level (OHWL) for Binger Pond.
The city of Rosemount has worked with the DNR and the VRWM0 to develop a management
plan for this basin. Council staff is concerned about this basin and the increased runoff that will
be discharged to the basin as development occurs. The developer should work very closely to
monitor changes in the pond levels to make sure that the proposed solutions are actually
working. The proposed pond outlet will discharge to Lakeville and ultimately to the Vermillion
River. There is a flooding problem for the downstream communities along the Vermillion River.
This makes it even more important that the proposed development and discharges to Birger Pond
are carefully managed.
The AUAR also states that ponds are proposed as part of the project. To be consistent with the
Council's Interim Strategy for Nonpoint Source Pollution and to maximize pollutant removal
efficiencies, all wet detention ponds should be designed according to NI URP or similar criteria
for wet detention basins.
' This will conclude the Council's review of the AUAR. The Council will take no formal action
on the ALTAR. If you have any questions or need further information, please contact James

RE: KELLY PROPERTY AUAR
Dear Mr. Pearson:
The Dakota Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) has reviewed the Kelly Property AUAR. The
proposed project entails 1,209 multi- and single - family units on approximately 535 acres. The SWCD's
review revolves around four primary topics: soil erosion and sedimentation control, stormwater,
greenways, and wildlife habitat.
The Kelly Trust Property contains a unique mixture of «woodlands,, wetlands, and rolling topography. The
site is also positioned near other high quality natural areas, further increasing its local and regional
significance. Accordingly, the level of effort to protect the site's natural, resources should reflect the site's
unique natural features and its importance as a greenway connection. Our cpmments and suggestions
reflect this position and are respectfully submitted for your review and consideration:
Note: Goat numbers are referenced from Appendix B of the document.
' Item 10: Cover Types: Mitigative Measures for Natural Communities
Goal 5: Protect and Maintain the quality of surface water flows to wetlands
Identify and protect infiltration areas on the site. Determine which wetlands are hydrologically
' maintained by surficial groundwater and where the infiltration areas for this surficial groundwater
originates. Protect these areas from development or mitigate the impacts by strategically locating
infiltration BMPs.
' Item 11: Fish, Wildlife, and Sensitive Resources
Goal 6: Protect the remaining high quality habitat areas ...
' The SWCD commends these efforts. To clarify the third strategy listed under this goal define (1)
corridor and (2) the developer's acceptance of effective greenway /wildlife corridor development.
' Specifically, where would 300 foot -wide, naturally vegetated comdor fit on the proposed site plan?
It appears the proposed greenways may provide recreational opportunities (eg trails) but would not.
create a viable multi- species wildlife corridor. Based on preliminary assessments conducted as part
of a LCMR project currently underway in Dakota County, the site. is an important link between the
' undeveloped areas east of Hwy 3 and Lebanon Hills and may also be an important link in a potential
greenway connecting the North Branch of the Vermillion River to Lebanon Hills (via Long and
Farquar Lakes).

Dakota SWCD Comments
Item 12: Physical Impacts on Water Resources
' The SWCD anticipates working very closely with the Developer and Cities once a V4'CA Wetland
Replacement Plan is submitted to ensure full sequencing is followed and that wetland impacts are
avoided and minimized to the extent possible. Based on preliminary discussions, the SWCD assumes
' only minimal amounts of wetland impacts are anticipated.
Goal 8: Protect and maintain the quality of surface water flows to wetlands.
' Define the BMPs the developer will consider to use on this site to "Protect and maintain the quality of
surface water flows to wetlands." Traditional BMPs alone may not be adequate to effectively protect
' the site's resources. Silt fence at the toe of graded slopes does not suffice. Comprehensive
management of the site's stormwater runoff, in conjunction with BMPs to address runoff rate and
volume, is needed. See:comments below regarding erosion and sedimentation.
Item 13: Water Use
Clarify if temporary dewatering for construction activities will be needed. If temporary dewatering is
needed, clearly define the BMPs that will be used to treat the discharge of the dewatering pumps.
Item 17: Erosion and Sedimentation
The soils and slopes on the site create conditions very susceptible to erosion. Proper BMP selection,
installation, and maintenance is critical on this site.
Goal 7: Minimize erosion and sedimentation ...
' Construction phasing will play a central role in minimizing erosion on this site. The site should not
be mass graded. Further, grading plans should be developed to (1) follow the contours of the site,
thereby minimizing the need for mass soil transfers, and (2) minimize the amount of disturbed land
' that will be exposed at one time.
The SWCD requests the opportunity to review and continent on preliminary grading plans as they are
submitted to Rosemount and Apple Valley.
Item 18: Water Quality — Surface Water Runoff
' As stated in the A.UAR, the site is currently isolated and the long -term proposal is to pump water from the
site across a watershed divide and into the North Creek of the Vermillion River subwatershed. Areas
along North Creek and the Vermillion River are experiencing increased flooding and downstream
' stormwater impacts should be quantified. A substantial amount of imperviousness will be created and the
impact of the increased runoff volumes on downstream waters and surficial groundwater tables must be
determined. This level of assessment is warranted because, as stated in State Code Chapter 4410.3610,
' Subp. 4 "the content and format [of an AUAR] must be similar to that of an EAW, but must provide for a
level of analysis comparable to that of an EIS . . ."
' Goal 8: Protect and Maintain the quality of surface waters ...
The SWCD commends the strategy to use bioretention methods to store and infiltrate [and
evapotranspirate — a very important component that should not be overlooked] stormwater and
' Kelly Property AUAR
Dakota SWCD Comments
minimize runoff. Please clarify the extent these innovative BMPs will be utilized. We suggest
undertaking a thorough assessment of the site's runoff and determining specifically what BMPs will
minimize the post - development curve number (to reduce runoff volume) and maximize the time of
' concentration (to reduce peak discharge rates) on the site. Strategically applying these concepts is
called the Low Impact Development (LID) approach.
' The LID approach includes minimizing impervious areas and maximizing on -site water storage and
use. Example LID BMPs include road width reductions, shared driveways, grassed waterways in
place of storm sewers, recessed parking lot islands, and many others. Refer to the following
' resources for more information about the LID approach:
Better Site Design: A Handbook for Changing Development Rules in Your Community, Center for
' Watershed Protection, 1998.
Conservation Design-for Stormwater Management, Delaware DNR, 1997,
Low - Impact Design Manual, Prince George's County Government Department of Environmental
Resources, Maryland, 1997.
' The Dakota SWCD may be able to provide financial incentives to sLipUort incorporation of LID
concepts into the devel9pment v lans. Please contact our office for more information.
Appendix B. Mitigation Plan
' 3.0 Wildlife and Sensitive Resources
Goal 6, Protection Strategy 2, Implementation Timeframe: Parks and trail areas should be
' identified and reviewed with stakeholders long before the final plats are submitted to the cities. These
areas must be proposed and reviewed prior to preliminary plat review.
Goal 6, Protection Strategy 4, Implementation Timeframe: Habitat protection areas should be
' identified and reviewed with stakeholders long before the final plats are submitted to the cities. These
areas must be proposed and reviewed rp for to preliminary plat review.
4.0 Erosion and Sedimentation
Goal 7, Protection Strategies 1 -5: Please submit the proposed grading and erosion control plans to
' the Dakota SWCD for review and comment prior to preliminary plat approval.
Define the amount of the security for performance of obligations regarding erosion and sedimentation
' control — for a site such as this, $2,000 to 3 /acre is suggested.
5.0 Surface Water Quality
Goal 8, Protection Strategies 1 -8, Implementation Timeframe: Identify strategies to implement
these plans prior to preliminary plat approval. The incorporation of bioretention, infiltration, and
other LID BMPs requires that stonnwater management be an equally important design consideration
1 as road alignments and lot configurations. The final plat stage is much too late.
Miscellaneous comments
1. Figure 5 -6. The area adjacent to Birger Pond is incorrectly identified as Agriculture.
2. Number the Goals throughout the document for ease of reference.

SUBJECT: Draft AUAR - Kelley Trust Property
Minnesota Department of Transportation Review #AUAR99 -004
Rosemount, Dakota County
' C.S. 1921
The Minnesota Department of Transportation has reviewed the draft AUAR for the
' Kelley Trust Property. We apologize for the delay in responding. We recommend
consideration of the following comments prior to further development.

Mn/DOT has no issue with extending Connemara Trail to TH3 provided:
✓ The Dodd Boulevard connection to the south must be eliminated.
✓ Mn/DOT review the construction plans for the connection if and when it is made.
Please direct any questions regarding these issues to Paul Czech in our
Transportation Planning section at (651) 582 -1771.
✓ That when Connemara Trail is extended to connect with TH3 a northbound left
turn lane and a southbound right turn lane be constructed on TH3. Turn signal
counts will need to be analyzed to determine whether a signal may be warranted.
The construction of the turn lanes and signal installation would be the
responsibility of the city. Please contact Wayne Lemaniak in our Traffic section
at (651) 634 -2147 if you have any questions regarding these issues.
Trip rates documented in the draft AUAR do not match our projections using the
ITE Trip Generation manual. We estimated 10,000 as compared to the GUAR
that states 8,550 trips.

• This extension of Connemara Trail to TH'I will also require an access permit. Please
contact Keith VanWagner in our Permits section at (651) 582 -1443 for the
appropriate forms and requirements.
• Connemara Trail is Municipal State Aid (MSA) Route 104. Dodd Road is MSA
Route 113 and Shannon Parkway MSA 106. Therefore, the City must review any
' changes to its Municipal State Aid system so that the City stays within its system
limitations. Also, any work on a MSA route must meet State Aid rules and policies.
