shifted to provide better access to future roads to the south. It was also stated that the cost of the
road would be at the developer's expense.
East-West Collector: The number of homes having direct access will be reviewed and efforts
should be made to limit them as much as possible. Any home having direct access to this road
will be required to have a turn-around on the lot so future residents will not have to back out onto
this street.

improvements they are proposing are completed. The security will cover all roads, paxks,

�
B. New Subdivision Ordinance. Staff presented a new draft subdivision ordinance which had
been prepared over the course of several months. The draft excerpted or modified language from
other cities including Apple Valley, Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Lakeville and Coon Rapids.
Among other things, the new draft includes a"sunset provision" which creates an expiration
process for approved but unused preliminary plats and "premature subdivision" criteria. The
Council directed Staffto enhance the lapse and e�ension provision to guarantee clarity. The City
Attorney will be asked to participate with the final draft. Staff also presented a"two out of three"
idea with the intent of eliminating minor technical variances for non-PUD subdivisions. The
general consensus was to continue to use the PUD process consistent with past practice. A May
public hearing for the new subdivision ordinance is anticipated.
Respectfully submitted,
Thomas D. Burt, City Administrator

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
APRIL 15, 1997
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a regular meeting of the Rosemount City Council was duly
held on Tuesday, April 15, 1997 at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 2875 145th
Street West.
Mayor Busho called the meeting to order with Councilmembers Wippermann, Carroll, Edwards,
and Anderson present. Also present were City Attorney LeFevere, City Administrator Burt,
Assistant to Administrator Wa1sh, Public Works Director Osmundson, Community Development
Director Rogness, Administration Intern Bonkowske, and Recreation Director Topitzhofer.
Councilmember Edwards led the group with the Pledge of Allegiance.
The Agenda was changed by pulling Item 6.i. Receive Feasibility Report for the McNamara
Addition, City Project 282; additional information was submitted for Item 6.h. Receive
Bids/Award Contract for Hawkins Pond Street and Utility Improvements, City Project 275; an
item was added to the Consent Agenda, Item 6.j. Minnesota Valley Transit Authority Joint
Powers Agreement; and an item was added to Old Business, Item 7.c. Broback Findings of Fact.
Public Comments was opened by Mayor Busho. Beth Giliuson, 3625 143rd Street West, advised
the City Council of a paxking issue near the Rosemount High School. During sporting events
parking by students, parents, and spectators is occurring even where prohibited. This is putting
pedestrians and drivers at risk. Often both sides of the street have parked cars not allowing a
normal flow of traffic. The streets most affected are Chili Avenue with parking on the hill and
143rd Street just south of the ballfield. The school parking lot usually has parking room available
but it is farther to walk. Giliuson has talked with many neighbors and they would like to have the
yellow no-parking line e�rtended near the street corners, put up signs with a similar phrase to "no
parking for ballfield events", and have school coaches tell teams and spectators to use the school
parking lot.
Mayor Busho thanked Ms. Giliuson and directed staff to research this parking issue.
Public Works Director Osmundson discussed a corridor study for CSAH 42 and forming an
advisory committee. Metropolitan agencies would like resident and business input. Council I
submitted three names of residents and suggested one planning commissioner and one �'
representative from Cannon Equipment. The Committee should meet for the first time next '
month. '
Public Works Director Osmundson reported on the Wetland Challenge Grant authorized by City
Council June 18, 1996. Part of this process is public input to establish a set of community based
priorities or a value system for individual or groups of wetlands to serve as a basis for focusing
water resource enhancement projects and guiding development activity.
MOTION by Anderson to authorize the creation and function of a Wetland Planning Task Force.
Second by Wippermann. Ayes: Wippermann, Busho, Carroll, Edwards, Anderson. Nays: None.

REGULAR MEETING
APRII, 15, 1997
Assistant to the Administrator Wa1sh introduced Bill Morris of Decisions Resources, Inc. Morris
reviewed the results from the community survey of 401 residents conducted between February 8
and March 3, 1997. The results indicated that Rosemount citizens were very pleased with their
community. Now, more residents see Rosemount as a"suburb" rather than a"small town." The
household median yearly household income is $58,500 which is double what it was in a 1989
survey. Over 80% of residents approved of the maintenance of street lights, removal of litter
from city streets, parks, trails, condition of picnic facilities and play equipment in city paxks, police
response time to calls, enforcement of trai�ic laws by police departments, and outdoor skating
rinks. A solid majority felt that code enforcement with respect to animal control, garbage
disposal,junk cars, messy yards and noise was"about right." However, 32 % of the respondents
rated the enforcement of the junk car ordinance as"not tough enough" and 24% felt similarly
about the enforcement of"messy" yards. Community spirit, friendly people and knowing your
neighbor were important to the majority. Overall, residents are happy to live in Rosemount.
MOTION by Edwards to approve the Consent Agenda with the removal of Item 6.i. and
additional information for Item 6.h. Second by Wippermann. Ayes: Five. Nays: None. Motion
carried.

public hearing was held April 1 for Tax Increment Financing approval for the project.

ROSEMOUNT PORT AUTHORITY AND ENDRES PROPERTIES, LLC. Second by
Edwards. Ayes: Carroll, Edwards, Anderson, Wippermann, Busho. Nays: None. Motion
carried.
Administrative Intern Bonkowske presented an ordinance that would regulate temporary sidewalk
signs. These signs would be allowed to be displayed six times a year for a maximum of ten days.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEI�lINGS
REGULAR MEETING
APRIL 15;�'1997
MOTION by Busho to approve A RESOLUTION FOR DENTAL OF THE REPLAT OF
THE BROBACK INDUSTRIAL PARK WITH LOT WIDTH VARIANCES BASED
UPON FINDINGS OF FACT as amended. Second by Edwards. Ayes: Anderson,
Wippermann, Busho, Carroll, Edwards. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Assistant to the Administrator Walsh presented a request from McDivot's Sports Pub and Eatery
to amend the On-Sale Liquor Licenses to allow alcoholic beverages to be served on an existing
patio located to the north of the building. Ornamental black iron railing would be installed around
the patio area. Wa1sh explained that stai�felt that alcohole should not be served past 10:00 p.m.
rather than be allowed to remain open until 1:00 a.m. This time restriction would help to curtail
noise that might disrupt people in the senior high rise and condominium adjacent to this property.
Rob Moen, manager of McDivot's, spoke in behalf of the request. Moen noted that in past years
motorcyclists had caused late night noise problems, but now the cliental has changed and that
should no longer be troubling. McDivot's believes that an outdoor patio will appeal to local
business people, area baseball teams and others who enjoy the cooler evening air. They do serve
dinners until 11:00 p.m. and would like the hours for the patio to remain open until then.
Council requested that the adjacent residents of the senior high rise and condominiums be notified
of this potential change so that their opinions can be noted.
MOTION by Edwards to table the decision on a request from McDivot's Sports Pub and Eatery
to amend the On-Sa1e Liquor Licenses until May 6, 1997. Second b�Busha
`; Councilmember Anderson requested discussion. Edwards withdrew'iiis motion and Busho.her
second.
Councilmember Anderson noted that a past owner had served alcohol on the patio at that location
and perhaps some history of that could be obtained.
MOTION by Edwards to table the decision on a request from McDivot's Sports Pub and Eatery
to amend the On-Sale Liquor Licenses until May 6, 1997. Second by Busho. Ayes: Five. Nays:
None. Motion carried.
Public Works Director Osmundson presented two streets to add to the Municipal State Aid
Streets which makes that street eligible for receiving Municipal State Aid funds for construction
and maintenance. The streets being added are Clark Road and Conley Avenue.
MOTION by Anderson to adopt A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING MUNICIPAL STATE-
AID STREETS: CLARK ROAD FROM 140TH STREET EAST TO CSAH 42 AND
CONLEY AVENUE FROM 140TH STREET EAST TO CSAH 42. Second by Wippermann.
