This memo identifies the requirements for the City of Rosemount's i planning and building code
review for the Dakota County incinerator project.
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,

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

County has indicated a desire to continue utilizing the services of
investment currently made and the fact that RSC staff is familiar

The current status of the construction phase of the project identifies demolition of existing

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.

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.

As you are aware, Dakota County is moving forward with the development of the
Resource Recovery Facility. 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

Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
City of Rosemount
2875 - 145th Street, -West
Rosemount, MN 55068
Dear Sirs and Madam
I understand that the Rosemount City Council has on its agenda several
issues related to the County's proposed Resource. 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. Loeding
Dakota County Commissioner
