PLANNING REVIEW CURRENT STATUS OF THE PLANNING REVIEW As the Council will recall, in the fourth quarter of 1991 a Comprehensive Guide Plan amendment was submitted to the Metropolitan Council regarding, the incinerator. This minor guide plan amendment clarified the Waste Management element of the City's Comprehensive Plan to include only private waste management activities. In addition, this amendment clarified the Public and Institutional element of the City's existing Comprehensive Plan to permit publicly owned incinerator facilities. This amendment was forwarded to the Metropolitan Council without recommendation by the City. In December, 1991, the Metropolitan Council notified the City of its approval of this amendment and authorized the City to proceed with implementation. Because the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (PCA) denied the permit for the incinerator, the City Council n'e'ver took action on this guide plan amendment. It would be the Planning staff's recommendation that the Planning Commission revisit this guide plan amendment and make a recoikimendation prior to City Council adoption. OTHER NECESSARY PLANNING REVIEW STEPS Once the guide plan amendment is adopted, the County will be required to follow the following steps: 1) petition to amend the Zoning Ordinance to permit publicly -owned municipal waste incineration facilities in the Public/Institutional Zoning District via Interim Use Permit 2) petition to rezone the land from Agricultural (AG) to Public (PUB) and 3) to request an IUP for the facility. Approval of all three steps would be required in order to permit the facility in the City. Additionally, a site plan review for the facility would need to be approved by the Planning Commission and the Metropolitan Council would need to complete a public building review, as required through the Airport Search .Area Review guidelines.l, (Sverylhing s (90ming (Up (Rosemoucn"I Dakota County Incinerator Project Planning and Building Code Review Process November 13, 1992 Page 2 The Zoning Text Amendment would be the first step necessary. task we will need to develop a set of standards for the IUP revi require considerable thought and will serve as the basis for the order to complete this These standards will irements of the IUP. The land that Dakota County intends to build the incinerator on is I currently zoned Agriculture (AG). Therefore, the second step required will be to rezone this land from Agriculture (AG) to Public and Institutional (PUB). This process '?requires a Public Hearing and notification of all property owners within a quarter mile. The final step in this review process that the City Council will be involved with is the actual NP. Planning staff assumes that this permit will be similar in content and form to other IUPs approved for the Koch Refining Spent Bauxite Facility and the Minnesota Industrial Containment Facility. To properly assemble this NP, all aspects of the incinerator project will need to be integrated into this document. This will require careful coordination with outside agencies as well as all City departments. STAFFING FOR PLANNING REVIEW As with previous IVPs, the Planning Department will be responsible for coordinating these processes. I will be the Project Manager for this review. Rick Pearson, Assistant Planner, will be responsible for the site plan review of this project. The Planning Department, however, will need to seek outside assistance in order to complete the review process in a timely manner. As you will recall, the planning consulting firm, .,Resource Strategies Corp. (RSC), was involved in earlier components of the review process.', In particular, they provided assistance and prepared the materials for the minor guide plan amendment. In an arrangement worked out with Dakota County, they have agr expenses for the planning review process, including any outside c4 date, approximately $9,000 has been paid to RSC for their assist& County has indicated a desire to continue utilizing the services of investment currently made and the fact that RSC staff is familiar that it would be in the best interest of both the City and the Coun contractual relationship for the remainder of the planning review. BUILDING CODE ADmwiSTRATION The building division has met recently (10/23/92) with Barry Management Director, and Dennis Carroll, Construction Mai construction and review process. to pay the City's lting services. To on this project. Dakota Given the h this project, it appears to resume this le, Environmental to identify the The current status of the construction phase of the project identifies demolition of existing structures and preliminary site grading to begin yet in November. Final site grading and a design build fast-track construction process for the building is anticipated to begin in March of 1993. The total construction from footings to completion is expected to take 14-18 months. This is a very aggressive fast -paced schedule which willbe tightly coordinated by Mr. Dennis Carroll. Dakota County Incinerator Project Planning and Building Code Review Process November 13, 1992 Page 3 A key factor in the work progression schedule is the plan review the initial cog in the wheel. The project, as now identified, will process elements or packages. The first is the pit. This is the ai will receive the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) for sorting and tr incinerators. It includes structural steel reinforcements, leachate concrete. I permit issuance. It is ksist of four major off the tipping floor that Ferring to the boiler lection, and structural The next element is the boiler house which is the processing area of the facility. It includes the structural steel building to house everything: the boilers and conveyor systems; high pressure piping and steam turbines; ash disposal systems; concretework; and steel walkway systems. It also involves the emissions equipment and stacks. The next component is the tipping floor package which includes the structural concrete floor, structural steel enclosure building, electrical controls room (operation center), administrative offices, and control room. The fourth element is referred to as the back end. This consists of the electrical turbines and switch gear, building, footings, and high pressure piping. In view of the schedule of this project as it relates to and impacts existing projects currently underway, such as Koch's Administration Complex, the National Quard Armory, and the anticipated 200 single family homes next year (1993), I feel it necessary to look at outside help. Plan review on the facility, as its schedule is proposed, will take a minimum of 5-6 hours per day and will be continuous for 10-12 months. This will be an ongoing process throughout construction because of the design -build concept. Inspection, documentation, and administrative coordination will be,` a full-time 8-10 hours per day for the duration of the project once the first footings are ready to pour. This will be a continuous process until the Certificate of Occupancy is issued. My suggestion and request is to interview funis and qualified individuals to fulfill the requirements of two (2) positions on a contract basis. The plan review position would start first and would be necessary', with the first plan submittals in February of 1993. The second position of inspector', would be needed with the issuance of the first permit 2-3 weeks after submittal of the first plans. Paul Heimkes and I would provide the coordination between the contract positions and the other City and County personnel involved. I am suggesting also that a mobile job office such as a Gelco unit 'would be rented to house the plan reviewer and inspector. This would be placed right on the incinerator facility site.

The County has reached a settlement agreement with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and the Appellate Courts have allowed the County to proceed with the project. The County wants to begin taking specific action with regard to the necessary local permits, approvals and preliminary sitework. With this letter, the County requests that the City of Rosemount resume activity on the permits and approvals necessary to implement the Resource Recovery Facility. Last year, the County authorized the City to begin work on the project, using as necessary the funds that the County advanced to the City for that purpose. In essence, the County would like to begin where activities ended last fall. The County recognizes that a significant amount of work was a project last year, and in view of that fact, the County believes of all parties involved to continue along the same path as befo City's previous consultant would be a great advantage in ri Resource Recovery Facility, because of that consultant's fami resulting in efficiency in completing the zoning a.na land use ch, If you have any questions, do not hesitate to give me a call.

Recovery Project. One of the questions is whether the City should, move forward to prepare for local review and approvals required !:for the County's project. I want. to encourage the City to keep moving forward, with its part in the project. I recognize that there has been some concern whether the_. County will continue with the project. In response, I want you to know that I intend to push for a review of alternatives to the project. This includes variations to the project; as it has been proposed, and may include such additions as presorting at the facility. However, it is likely that there will beja need for local approval for .the County project or an alternative ifacility at the site in Rosemount. I think that it would be wise for the City to move forward. I will, urge that any review of alternativesbe expedited, and the city should be ready to respond once that review is completed. 1I This matter has already taken a large amount of time because of all the administrative review required, and it would be very helpful if we could avoid further delays by having local reviews completed in altimely manner. I hope that the City will use the funds provided by the County to continue the activities required for local review and 'approval of the County's project. Sincerely, Steven G.
