L.H. SOWLES COMPANY - COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN AMENDMENT
This Guide Plan Amendment involves a request by the L.H. Sowles
Company of Minneapolis, to redesignate from Agriculture to
General Industrial designation, a portion of a 55 acre parcel of
property in eastern Rosemount. The property in question abuts
State Trunk Highway 52, between C.R. 38 and County Highway 42.
Attached with this summary is a site location map.
This item was previously considered by City Council in April of
1990. At that time Council elected to defer action on this item
until completion of the Guide Plan revision. The Applicant has
elected to approach the City at this time because of delays in
completion of the Guide Plan revision and to propose a
modification to the original Guide Plan Amendment which may be
more acceptable to the City.
The Sowles Company has indicated a willingness to modify the
original amendment to limit redesignation of property to 10 acres
of land immediately abutting County Road 38. The original
request proposed redesignation of the entire 55 acre parcel and
proposed subdivision of the property for future speculative
industrial development. Sowles intentions at this time do not
involve platting of the property. Sowles continues to express
long term interest in developing the entire property for
industrial use, but, is at this point willing to allow further
discuss of this matter to occur in conjunction with the Guide
Plan revision.
The intent of Sowles is to utilize the ten acres of property to
be redesignated for a storage yard for tower cranes. No
utilities would be required for this use of the property. The
north ten acres of the property abutting County Road 38 is
contiguous to property currently designated General Industrial
situated north of County Road 38.
The Sowles Company has indicated that it has inadequate storage
capabilities at its Minneapolis site and must find an additional
storage site in the very near future. It is the conclusion of
city staff that it is necessary for the Council to consider this
Guide Plan Amendment at this time if there is a desire to have
the Sowles Company locate a storage facility in Rosemount.
When this item was considered by City Council back in April of
1990, no public hearing was held at that time. City
Administrator Jilk has since determined that it is a legal
requirement to hold public hearings for all Guide Amendments.
For this reason if City Council is interested in reconsidering
the Sowles Guide Plan Amendment at this time Council should
authorize scheduling of a public hearing for the March 19th
Council Meeting at 8:00 p.m.
