SPECIAL MEETING
MAY 26, 1992
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a Special Meeting of the City
Council of the City of Rosemount was duly held on Tuesday, May 26, 1992, at
7:00 p.m., at Rosemount High School Student Center.
Mayor McMenomy called the meeting to order with all members present.
Mayor McMenomy led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Also present were the following committee or commission members: Bill
Mawe, Al Meyer, Linda Ladzun, John Edwards, Joan Anderson, Ed Dunn, Kurt
Gundacker, Cathy Busho and Shawn Mulhern. Staff members in attendance were
Ron Wasmund, Stephan Jilk, Lisa Freese, Rick Pearson and Marie Darling.
Mayor McMenomy advised the purpose of the meeting is to discuss the
Comprehensive Guide Plan Policies.
Director of Planning Lisa Freese addressed the issues regarding the
capacity of the Rosemount Treatment Plant and that the City's growth has
exceeded the Metropolitan Council's growth projections which were used to
determine the design capacity. Ms. Freese reviewed the alternatives
available as interim measures until the treatment plant is expanded and the
implications of this capacity issue on the development of the new guide
plan. See Clerk's File 1992-22.
Assistant Planner Rick Pearson informed the members of the Metropolitan
Council's changed policies regarding unsewered development in its attempt
to limit growth in rural areas. Planner Pearson commented on his
discussion with Metropolitan Council representatives and felt there may be
some flexibility in their policy for requiring a minimum of one housing
unit per ten acres in unsewered rural areas. Planning staff discussed the
implications of the policy change on the city and the alternative
strategies the city could pursue. See Clerk's File 1992-22.
Considerable discussion was held on how the group felt the Kelly Trust
property should be developed and specifically whether the property should
be developed as rural residential or urban residential with the rural
residential serving as a transition zone. City Administrator Stephan Jilk
provided background information on the acquisition of the property by the
Kelly Trust, historical information on the zoning designations of the
properties from the early 1970's to present, the development of Shannon
Park Elementary and Shannon Park and pending assessments against the
property. Administrator Jilk also discussed with the members the issue of
down zoning and the legal implications involved.
Public Works Director Ron Wasmund reported on a recent meeting with legal
counsel for the Kelly Trust regarding the City's acquisition of Birger Pond
and the current status of the water tower.
Each commission and council member presented his/her viewpoint on how the
property should be developed. These comments included concept development
negotiations with the Kelly Trust representatives, preservation of the
hills, designating the property as rural residential, designating the
property as a transition zone, developing a PUD concept plan, keep the
Kelly and Daly properties as separate development concepts, utilize park
dedication and keep the current urban residential zoning designation.

SPECIAL MEETING
MAY 26, 1992
Consultant Fred Hoisington recommended developing a planned unit
development concept for the Kelly Trust properties. Mr. Hoisington felt a
PUD would allow for preservation of the land but still maintain the
appropriate density to satisfy both the City and Kelly Trust needs.
Following further discussion, it was agreed the consultant should develop a
PUD land use concept for Council consideration at their June 30, 1992
special council meeting.
Director of Planning Lisa Freese addressed commercial land use. Ms. Freese
identified the area and reviewed the findings of the McComb study. Members
of the group expressed their viewpoints on retail and commercial
development in the downtown area and on County Road 42.
