ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
NOVEMBER 5, 1991
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof the regular meeting of the
City Council of the City of Rosemount was duly held on Tuesday,
November 5, 1991 at 8:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers of the City
Hall
Mayor Napper called the meeting to order with members Willcox,
Wippermann, Oxborough and Klassen present.
Mayor Napper led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance.
The agenda for the November 5, 1991 Regular Council Meeting was
amended to include Item 4(b) Snow Removal Activities of Past Weekend.
Mayor Napper opened the public hearing scheduled at this time to
consider the Comprehensive Guide Plan Text Amendment for Waste
Management/Public & Institutional Land Use Plan Elements.
The City Administrator presented for the record the Affidavit of
Publication and Affidavit of Posted Hearing Notice. See Clerk's File
1991-38.
Director of Planning Lisa Freese presented a proposed text amendment
to the Rosemount Comprehensive Guide Plan for clarification of the
Waste Management Land Use Plan and Public Services elements of the
plan. Ms. Freese advised that the proposed amendment was created
following discussions with Metropolitan Council regarding the City's
ability to effectively review and regulate the Dakota County Resource
Recovery Facility. Planning Consultant Dean Johnson, Resource
Strategies Corp. (RSC), reviewed the specifics of the Minor Guide Plan
Amendment and noted that this amendment establishes a local process by
which to review the proposed Dakota County incinerator. See Clerk's
File 1991-38.
Council Member Willcox questioned the importance of Council action on
the amendment at this time since PCA permit issuance for the Dakota
County facility has been delayed.
Ms. Freese advised that the Planning Commission, at their October 22,
1991 Regular Meeting, recommended approval of the amendment. However,;
due to delay in PCA permit issuance, staff is requesting Council
authorization only to forward the proposed amendment to Metropolitan
Council to begin their review process. City Council approval of the
text amendment would be requested after PCA approval and issuance of
the permit. Depending upon how quickly things may happen should the
permit be approved, the City will have already initiated the text
amendment review and would be in a position for regulatory control of
the incinerator activities.
The audience offered no comments or objections to the proposed text
amendment.
MOTION by Napper to close the public hearing. SECOND by Willcox.
Ayes: Willcox, Wippermann, Napper, Oxborough, Klassen. Nays: 0.

Director of Planning Lisa Freese advised that Planning staff has
established a task force working group with the City of Inver Grove
Heights, Dakota County and the Minnesota Department of Transportation
(MnDOT) staff for a cooperative study in assessing and analyzing
transportation issues in the STH 52 corridor within Rosemount and
Inver Grove Heights. The overall goal is to develop a plan that will
specifically address the hierarchy of roads necessary to support
continued industrial development in eastern Rosemount and to integrate
this plan into the update of the City's Comprehensive Guide Plan.
See Clerk's File 1991-38.
MnDOT has requested the engineering firm of Short -Elliot -Hendrickson,
Inc. (SEH) to submit a proposal for a STH 52 corridor study which
would identify the roadway's appropriate future functional
classification and develop alternatives for accommodating the
corridor's projected traffic flows. It is anticipated that MnDOT will
be contributing a major portion of the funding for this study;
however, the other work group participants, including the City of
Rosemount, have been asked to contribute to the study. City staff is
currently discussing with the other participants the appropriate level
of contribution for each. No formal action is required on the study
at this time.
Public Works Director Ron Wasmund provided the Council with an update
regarding snow removal activities which had taken place over the
recent weekend when the City received approximately 24" - 28" of snow.
Mr. Wasmund commended the snow removal crew who had all snow removal
equipment prepared and ready to take on the snowfall. A conscientious
and responsible public works crew, combined with a cooperative effort
from residents, were able to remove a considerable amount of snow with
very little incident to equipment.
MOTION by Wippermann to approve the Consent Agenda as presented.
SECOND by Klassen. Ayes: Napper, Oxborough, Klassen, Willcox,
Wippermann. Nays: 0. See Clerk's File 1991-38._
Director of Planning Lisa Freese presented for City Council approval
the Development Agreement for Country Hills Fifth Addition. Ms.
Freese advised that the Country Hills Fifth Addition contract differs
from previous agreements in that it reflects current policies of the
Public Works/Building Department for the issuance of building permits
subject to minimum road completion requirements. The Country Hills
Fifth Addition final plat was approved by Council at its October 15,
1991 Regular Meeting, subject to an executed Development Agreement.
