Proposed City Council Resolution
Every other year the City of Rosemount is eligible td apply f�r funds
provided through the Community Development Block Grant Program administered
by the Dakota County Housing and Redevelopment Authority. In the past
these funds have been used for such activities as the relocation of AAA
Auto Salvage, the purchase and demolition of the Schneider and Launderville
properties, and the purchase of Repairs, Inc.
As these funds are sited to be used for economic development or housing
projects, the City Council has always permitted the development body of the
City of Rosemount (HRA / EDA) to determine what project(s) said funds would
be dedicated to.
Attached for your review is the "Dakota County Community Development Block
Grant Proposal for Fiscal Year 1992." It is anticipated that Rosemount
will receive approximately $90,000 if the proposed project meets funding
criteria. The project which the EDA proposes to request funding for is the
acquisition and clean up activities on the Strese oil Company site at 14810
South Robert Trail. While staff realizes that $90,000 would not fund the
proposed project in its entirety, we feel that this amount would pay for
all or a good portion of the costs which would result from necessary clean
up activities on the subject site.
The EDA has provided "A Resolution Establishing Property in the City of
Rosemount as Blighted Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 469.002,
'Subdivision 11." In addition to this resolution, Dakota County also
requires that "A Resolution Approving the Application of the City of
Rosemount for Fiscal Year 1992 Dakota County Community Development Block
Grant Funding" be adopted by the Council prior to submission of the funding
application.
At this time, staff requests that the Council adopt the proposed resolution
approving said funding proposal and allowing staff to forward the necessary
documents to the Dakota County Housing and Redevelopment Authority, for
funding consideration.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion adopting "A Resolution Approving the
Application of the City of Rosemount for Fiscal Year 1992 Dakota County
Community Development Block Grant Funding."

The subject property is located at 14810 South Robert Trail in Rosemount. The proposed

_ bulk fuel oil facility currently located on the site. The facilities located on the
site are blighted and in disrepair. The Rosemount EDA is interested in the
rehabilitation of the subiect site so that it will be marketable for another business

S. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT (INCLUDE PROJECT GOALS AND
IMPORTANCE TO COMMUNITY):
The subject site is located in "downtown Rosemount" at 14810 South
Robert Trail. The activities which were previously conducted
there, gas/repair station and bulk oil sales, have not been
operational for quite some time.
The Rosemount Economic Development Authority is interested in
purchasing the subject site for the following reasons:
(1) site location in downtown Rosemount; and
(2) willingness on the part of the business/property owners
to sell and
(3) interest on the part of another Rosemount business to
locate on said site; and
(4) current owner's disregard for site upkeep; and
(5) substantial rehabilitation necessary to restore the
subject site to a usable piece of property.
The subject site has six (6) underground fuel tanks as well as
several above ground bulk fuel tanks. Rehabilitation will require
removal of all tanks as well as various tests (soil borings, etc.)
to determine the levels of any site contamination. Based upon test
results, -the Rosemount Economic Development Authority will work
with the Minnesota Petroleum Tank Release Compensation Board
(Petrofund) and other appropriate entities to establish a remedial
action program for the site.
Through research on the topic, staff has determined that 100 of the
approved remedial action program would be paid by the property
owner, which would potentially be the Rosemount Economic
Development Authority. The property owner could apply for
reimbursement of the remaining 90% of costs incurred through the
remedial action program. It is important to note, however, that
the activities leading up to the remedial action program, such as
soil borings and tank removal, do not qualify for reimbursement but
are costs borne by the property owner. In addition, while the
property owner can apply for 90% reimbursement on the actual
remedial action program, it is not certain that said owner will
receive the requested reimbursement.
Through some initial contacts with the Minnesota Petroleum Tank
Release Compensation Board personnel, it was determined that the
cost for a remedial action program could involve a variety of
activities including, but not limited to, soil excavation,
structure demolition, land application of contaminated soil, hiring
of an environmental consultant, and on site monitoring wells.
Ultimately, the Rosemount Economic Development Authority is
interested in pursuing this project for the purpose of making the
subject site suitable for new development in the Rosemount
downtown.
