REGULAR MEETING
MARCH 6, 1996
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a regular meeting of the Rosemount City Council was duly
held on Wednesday, March 6, 1996, at 7:33 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 2875
145th Street West.
Mayor Busho called the meeting to order with Councilmembers Anderson, Wippermann, Edwards
and Carroll present. Also present were City Attorney LeFevere, City Administrator Burt,
Community Development Director Rogness, Public Works Director/City Engineer Osmundson
and Assistant Planner Pearson.
Boy Scout Troop 295 led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance. No changes were made to the
Agenda. Additional information was given to Council regarding the list of residents for Eminent
Domain on City Project 266, Item 6.a. and a revision to the Zoning Ordinance amendment
regarding supplementary yard regulations, Item 7.c. The February 20, 1996 minutes were
clarified slightly on page one and two.
MOTION by Edwards to accept the agenda as printed. Second by Anderson. Ayes: Five.
Nays: None.
MOTION by Wippermann to approve the Consent Agenda. Second by Carroll. Ayes: Five.
Nays: None.
Public Works Director/City Engineer Osmundson gave an overview of the progress of City
Project 266. Eminent domain process is requested for any property owner not signing a right-of-
entry form. Only six properties remain unsigned at this time. Osmundson felt most would be
willing to sign once contacted. Mayor Busho offered to attend with Rich Lonnquist, Engineering
Technician/Project Coordinator meetings with the residents involved before April 1, 1996.
Osmundson noted that only 8% of the total cost of the project would be assessed back to the
residents affected. Councilmember Edwards felt the legal expense of eminent domain was
excessive and required extra resource and staff time.
MOTION by Carroll to adopt A RESOLUTION DIRECTING CONDEMNATION OF
LANDS NEEDED TO ALLOW THE REPLACEMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES TO
CERTAIN PROPERTIES IN ROSEMOUNT FOR CITY PROJECT#266. Second by
Edwards. Ayes: Edwards, Carroll, Anderson, Wippermann, Busho. Nays: None.

specifications for City Project 266 and to order the advertisement for bids. The bid opening date
would be March 29 at 10:00 a.m. at City Hall. The contract could be awarded on April 2. If
everything continues on time, the project would be finished by September with the final overlay
on the street being done the summer of 1997.

SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZING ADVERTISEMENT OF BIDS FOR THE 1996
RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT, CITY PROJECT 266. Second by Anderson. Ayes:

Assistant Planner Pearson reviewed a request by Spectro Alloys to replat their site after a right-
of-way vacation and cul-de-sac street improvements. The Planning Commission recommends
approval of the administrative plat.
MOTION by Wippermann to adopt A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE
ADMINISTRATIVE PLAT FOR SPECTRO ALLOYS ADDITION, 13220 DOYLE PATH
with the two conditions as noted. Second by Carroll. Ayes: Anderson, Wippermann, Busho,

Assistant Planner Pearson presented Carrollton Fifth Addition Final Plat for eight single family
lots located on 145th Street West and Chili Avenue and 144th Street West. Pearson reported that
there were no variances, the larger trees will be saved, all utilities are stubbed in, and no
development contract was required. City Administrator had checked old city records and no
record was made showing that park dedication had been paid on that property. Pearson noted
that Mr. Carroll, though not present, objects to paying park dedication. Mayor Busho noted that
Mr. Carroll could appeal the park dedication to the City Council.
MOTION by Carroll to adopt A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FINAL PLAT FOR
CARROLLTON FIFTH ADDITION. Second by Wippermann. Ayes: Wippermann, Busho,
Carroll, Edwards, Anderson. Nays: None.
Assistant Planner Pearson presented the Zoning Text Amendment to increase lot dimensions and
setbacks along arterial highways and railroads. The Amendment in part says, "a. Residential
principal structures shall be set back a minimum of thirty feet from any easement boundary on a
lot or a parcel of land that abuts or is traversed by an easement intended for or containing high
voltage transmission lines. b. Residential lot dimensional standards and principal structure
setbacks shall be increased on the side adjacent to freeways, arterial and collector streets, and
railroad rights-of-way or easements. Driveways, surface parking and accessory structures shall
have increased setbacks adjacent to freeways and arterial highways. c. No accessory or principal
structure shall be constructed within any easement." The Planning Commission held a public
hearing on this proposal and recommended its approval. Staff was directed to continue
addressing commercial setbacks.
MOTION by Anderson to adopt ORDINANCE B-57 AMENDING THE CITY OF
ROSEMOUNT ZONING ORDINANCE B REGARDING SUPPLEMENTARY YARD
REGULATIONS. Second by Busho. Ayes: Busho, Carroll, Edwards, Anderson, Wippermann.
Nays: None.
Mayor Busho opened the Public Hearing for the Rosemount Business Park Tax Increment
Finance Plan/District.
Community Development Director Rogness gave an overview of Tax Increment Financing(TIF)
as a financing tool allowing cities to use property tax revenues generated by a development to
finance some of the costs of that development. It is intended to enable private development that
might not otherwise occur. When TIF district's costs have been paid, no more than eleven years,

or the district is decertified, the property tax proceeds revert back to the local taxes with
approximately 50%to the school district, 25% to the county and 25% to the city. Rosemount has
4.1% of tax capacity captured in tax increments; while 5%to 10% would be considered average.
Mayor Busho confirmed with the recording secretary that the Affidavits of Posted and Published
Notice were on file. Mayor Busho called for public input.
Kim Shoe-Corrigan, 12990 Shannon Parkway, voiced concerns if tax increment financing is really
needed at this time.
Rogness responded that the"but-for" criteria was applied to the Cannon Equipment proposal and
staff felt they would not have chosen Rosemount unless tax increment financing was used as other
communities were competing for their development. Cannon will bring about 200 jobs to this
area and this will be good for Rosemount's economy. Other business development proposals
within the Rosemount Business Park will not automatically receive TIF benefits. Staff and
Council hope that getting a business in the park will increase the interest of others to come to
Rosemount.
MOTION by Wippermann to close the Public Hearing for the Rosemount Business Park Tax
Increment Financing Plan/District. Second by Busho. Ayes: Five. Nays: None.
MOTION by Edwards to approve the RESOLUTION APPROVING A TAX INCREMENT
FINANCING PLAN FOR THE ROSEMOUNT BUSINESS PARK TAX INCREMENT
FINANCING DISTRICT. Second by Wippermann. Ayes: Edwards, Anderson, Wippermann,
Busho, Carroll. Nays: None.
Assistant Planner Pearson reviewed the revised preliminary plat and final development plan for
Shannon Meadows. It is a 12.8 acre development with 29 single family lots on the northwest
corner of Shannon Parkway and 145th Street West. Many of the large trees were saved and a
more effective use of the land was made with revisions adding a cul-de-sac and shifting the
alignment of an east/west street. The Planning Commission held a public hearing and
recommended its approval. Discussion was held. A long narrow strip, noted as the"pan
handle", attached as an outlot to Lot 14, Block 2 which runs parallel to Shannon Parkway ending
on 145th Street West was a concern, but no clear solution was imminent.
Kevin VonReidl, consultant for RLK Associates Limited, said that the"pan handle" of Lot 14,
was offered as free land to the adjoining land owner but he would have to pay legal expenses. He
was not agreeable to that offer. Further negotiations may take place.
MOTION by Anderson to adopt A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE REVISED
PRELIMINARY PLAT AND FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR SHANNON
MEADOWS ADDITION. Second by Carroll. Ayes: Anderson, Wippermann, Busho, Carroll,
Edwards. Nays: None.
