Public Comment Glen Dykes, 14387 Embassy Way,Apple Valley and Elroy Sell,2975 145th Street East,Rosemount spoke on behalf of the members of St.John's Lutheran Church. They wish to erect a directional sign to their church at 14385 Blaine Avenue, Rosemount. This sign would be placed on the south side of County Road 42 and 145th Street West at the most easterly end on University of Minnesota property. The intention would be to leave the si�for a year or two,while the new homes are being built east of City Hall. Permission has been granted from the University of Minnesota. City Planner Pearson informed St. John's that a sign in that area is prohibited by City Ordinance. It is the request of St. John's Lutheran Church to petition for an amendment or special pernussion to erect this sign. Council acknowledged their request and will consider this in a work session for an amendment to the sign ordinance. Mayor Busho noted that this could take six months and asked for their patience. Response to Public Comment Community Development Director Rogness responded to a public comment that reported that Johnson Mineral Extraction was delinquent in their gravel mining tax to Dakota County. This is likely due to one or several past operators and not Johnson. This is the responsibility of Dakota County to enforce, not the City of Rosemount. However, our conditions in the mineral extraction permit do note that all taxes must be paid. Staffwill send a letter to the Dakota County Auditor to request their evaluation of this matter and review the need for this condition at the next renewal time for Johnson's permit.
