CMC 226 acre site concept plan; Metropolitan
Council Letter dated 6/16/92
On Tuesday, July 141 1992, Mr. Delfino met with staff Ad pres ted a.concept,
plan for the 103 acre CMC property. This site is bounded by 145th Street on
the north, Biscayne Avenue to the East, County Road 42 to the south and the
Soo Railroad line to the west. The plan is a mixed used development
consisting of approximately 25 acres of larger lot single family residential,
46 acres of smaller lot single family residential, 10 acres of townhomes, and
10 acres of"commercial/retail. CMC has indicated a preference to develop
this site prior to the 226 acre Chicago Northwestern site that they have an
option to buy. The City Council reviewed this concept informally in April.
It was decided by City staff and CMC to present the 103 -acre concept
informally to the Planning Commission at the meeting that evening for their
consideration and comment. Generally, the Planning Commission recommended
support for the concept feeling that the plan showed adequate buffering and
separation between the residential uses and the railroad and industrial
property. They acknowledged that the proposed commercial component deviated
some from the conclusion regarding the boundary for commercial development
decided at the Special Council meeting on June 30. Those conclusions,
however, were based on the scenario that the 226 -acre development would occur
first and this development probably would not occur until after 2000. After
thorough discussion of this issue, the Planning Commission voted unanimously
to support the mixed residential/commercial land use concept if the developer
included pedestrian linkages from this development to the downtown.
On Tuesday, the developer will present this concept informally to both the -
City Council and the Port Authority. They are requesting feedback on the
overall concept prior to making formal application for the project. This
property is currently zoned industrial and is located in the Downtown
redevelopment (TIF) district. I will be available to address the land use
and zoning questions. Mr. John Miller or Mr. Steve Jilk can address tax
increment related issues.
In'a separate action, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the
development concept forte 226 acre and recommended that City Council
consider including that l nd designated as Urban Residential and within the
year 2000 MUSA boundary i Comprehensive Guide Plan Update per the
Metropolitan Council's re ommendation regarding majorguideplan amendments.'
RECOMMENDED ACTION: No
action is required on the 103 acre site.
A MOTION to support
the inclusion of the 226 acre site in the year
2000 MUSA as urban residential
in the Comprehensive Guide Plan
Update.

RE: Proposed Residential Development Guide Plan Amendment
■ Dear Chairman Meyer and Commissioners:
On behalf of CMd Heartland Partners, I am pleased to submit this
Preliminary Concept Plan for your consideration. This updated plan
incorporates comments and suggestions that we received from the staff,
Planning Commissioners and City Council Members during preliminary
review.
We are asking that you please review this Preliminary Concept Plan
with the recommendation for the City Council to forward the associated
Major Guide Plan Amendment to Metropolitan Council. The Guide Plan
Amendment requests a'change from industrial to residential land use,
which we believe is consistent with the City's long term view of this
property. We are aware of the City's ongoing efforts to update the City
Guide Plan as well as the issues relating to sanitary sewer capacity.
Our primary interest', is to work with the City of Rosemount to obtain the
necessary municipal approvals within the time frame defined by the
option agreement for'the land purchase.
Regarding the issue of sewer capacity, since this project will
require a build-out in excess of five years we are willing to work with
the City of Rosemount on a phasing plan that accomplishes the following:
(a) A commitment of a portion of the current known sewer capacity;
(b) A commitment for a portion of additional near-term sewer
capacity derived from diversion to the Empire Plant or
operating efficiencies at the Rosemount Plant;
(c) A commitment for the remaining units to be allocated at the
completion of the Rosemount Plant expansion, now projected to
be on-line in December, 1996.
CMC Heartland Partners is committed to working with the governing
agencies to build a High quality residential development, and to
continuing our long-term working relationship with the City of
Rosemount. We look forward to discussing this Preliminary Concept Plan
with you as the next 'step in that process.
Very t y yours,
FOR TH F

Concept Land Use Plan
/
The planning objectives for this development are:
X%
To create a series of neighborhoods that
are defined by circulation, building
massing, strong natural features, open
spaces, and amenities.
/
To provide a range of housing types that
provide economic diversity to the
-- - - -
community and visual Interest with changes
in massing, density and texture.
�.
To create major open spaces and
recreational opportunities with the
neighborhood park and retention ponds
connected by pedestrian links.
To provide for a logical vehicular,
pedestrian and bicycle circulation pattern.
'
To locare the denser components of the
development adjacent to site access points
and directly accessed from the collector
street system.
To utilize cul-de-sac lots as buffers to the
- - -
railroad and to County Road 42, and to
_
provide visual diversity along County Road
42 and the collector sheets.
To retain the rolling character of the eastern
portion of the site.
To utilize the mature trees, character and
resources of the existing farmstead.
The concept land use plan illustrated at the left
\
features a centrally located, ten acre
neighborhood park Incorporating the mature
J\ 1
trees of the existing farmstead. It Is anticipated
]�
this land would be donated by the developer to
the city and would be 50% recreational, Including
a ball field. The passive areas of the park could
reuse some of the existing farm buildings for
-'�
shelters and community space. The existing
wetland area along the north edge of the she will
also be a primary open space, and since it will be
designed with a five loot freeboard, it may offer
recreational opportunities as well. The retention
areas In the southem portions of the
development will also be a defined open spaces.

Re. Comprehensive Plan Amendments
Dcar Lisa,
As we recently discussed at the Council offices, Council staff strongly recommends that the city
include the amendment affecting the Chicago -Northwestern property in its overall comprehensive
plan update. There are a number of reasons why we are making this recommendation. First, as you
are aware, the city has a restricted sewer capacity until the Rosemount plant is expanded. Since the
property in question has a very limited sewer flow assigned to it at the present time, the city will need
to address how service can be',staged to this property along with other commitments within the
current urban service area. An additional strictly local concern relates to how service to this area
might affect the city's ability to provide service to other potential expansion areas within the city.
In addition, the city will need to address how it will minimize non -point source pollution to area water
bodies that would result from the proposed development on the subject property. As we discussed
in our meeting, the Council is especially concerned about this issue today and lack of information
related to addressing non -point source pollution has slowed reviews of numerous amendments. Since
addressing non -point source pollution is a community -wide issue, I assume that the city will need to
reach a consensus on its overall '!approach before it could prepare and submit a plan amendment for
a discrete site.
Finally, because of the magnitude of the issues related to the Chicago -Northwestern property, it is
very possible that if the city prepared and submitted an amendment now that lacked tha information
described above, that the timing,of preparing the missing information could coincide with completing
the overall plan update. Consequently, It may be more efficient for the city to combine all "major"
amendments with the plan update. t
If you have any questions about this matter, please give me a call.
Sincerely,
Barbara G. Senrncas, AICP
Planning Coordinator
