SPECIAL MEETING
AUGUST 27, 1991
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a special meeting of the City
Council of the City of Rosemount was duly held on Tuesday, August 27, 1991,
at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall.
Mayor Napper called the meeting to order with Councilmembers Willcox,
Wippermann, Oxborough and Klassen present. Also present were Planning
Commissioners Cathy Busho, John Edwards, Sheila Hathaway, Al Meyer;
Utilities Commissioners Tom Werner and Shawn Mulhern; Parks and Recreation
Committee Member Jerry Puciaty; Staff members David Bechtold, Lisa Freese,
Ron Wasmund, Steve Jilk, Cindy Carlson; Consultant Fred Hoisington and
Consultant Dean Johnson; and City Attorney Eric Short.
Mayor Napper advised the purpose of the joint meeting with City Council,
Planning Commission, Utilities Commission, Parks & Recreation Committee
and Economic Development Authority was to discuss policy formulation for
the Comprehensive Guide Plan update.
The first item of discussion was the rural residential development goals
and more specifically the areas north of 145th Street and West of Highway
3. There was a consensus that city staff will meet with owners of
undeveloped property in that area to discuss alternative methods of
development and that a committee with representatives of the City Council,
Planning Commission and city staff would work up ideas for alternatives to
development in this area.
The next item for discussion was the need for potentially realigning
Highway 3 east of its present location because of increased traffic and to
save the downtown. Concerns were raised as to why such a realignment
should occur. A consensus was reached that planning should take place so
that if the need does occur, the City is prepared.
Commercial development was discussed and more specifically what should be
allowed to occur and where in relation to the existing downtown.
Consultant Fred Hoisington stressed the need to allow development outside
of the present downtown; that is, on County Road 42 east or west of Highway
3, only if it is contiguous development. Fred Hoisington also stressed
that the City needs to control this growth; and the Comprehensive Guide
Plan, as presented, allows that.
By unanimous consent a 20 minute recess was taken at 8:25 p.m.
Waste management districts were discussed and more specifically as to
whether two districts should be allowed -- one in Pine Bend and one on
University of Minnesota property. Consensus was reached that two are
acceptable, but the one on the University of Minnesota property should be
more minimized to consider initially the Dakota County Waste -to -Energy
Plant and then to expand as the City considers individual projects.
Industrial development on the east side of Rosemount was discussed and more
specifically the amount of land needed and the extension of utilities to
these areas.
Discussion was held on the next meeting date.
MOTION by Napper to call for a special Council Meeting on Tuesday,
September 10, 1991, at 6:30 p.m. to continue discussion on these policy
issues. SECOND by Klassen.
