I,.H. Sawles t3uid� plan Ainendment Application Mr, pani.e�. Sowles of L.H. Sowles, Inc. has submitted a Compreben�ive Guide Plan Amendment Application praposing that a approximately 55 acres af property be redesignated from Agriculture to �snerai Industria� in the City of Rosemou»t Comprehensive Guide Pl.�n. Th� p�apex�� in question is �ituated between C.S.A.H. 42 and County Ras�d 38 on the east side of State Trunk Highway 52 (see location map� . The proparty is currently owned by Ed Dunn and L.H. SoW1�s Comp$ny hold� an option to purchase the property. Attach�d with thi$ review is a capy of a Preliminary Grading Plan for the site which indicates a prospective lot configuration for subdividing the praperty. . L.H. SaWles is a construction company which manages and operates toWez �ranes utilized for high--rise construction. The company erects �tee�. framing on ma�or buildings, builds bridges and places large equipment for industrial plar�t. Attached with this review is a copy Qf a» ittfoxmational brochura provided by �the company. It is the des�.rQ of �,.H. Sowles Company to develop approximately 5 �cres of the property far a equipmettt storage and maintenance faci.7.ity and to hold the remaining property for future development as and industxial park. The use of 5 acres by L.H. Sowles would primarily be for outdoor storage of large tower cranes. Iri considering the Guide Plan Amendment Applicatior� it is the role of the Pl�nning Commission to evaluate the propased redesignation of th� property for conformance with the Goals, Objectives and Pol,icies of the Guide Plan. The Planning Commission should further cat�aider the physical development suitability of the site in � question for industrial dr�yelopment. The Planning commission is required to make a r�acommendation regarding the Guide P1an Ame�dment Application to City Council. The Amendment Application is alsa subject to action by the Metropalitan Council. Attached with this review are copfes of pages 8 and 15 og the Guide plan which include Community Develapment Goals and Industrial � Development ab�ectives and Polic�.es. Alsa attached are copies of the 1990 and 2Q00 Land Use P1ans fram the Guide Plan. In the cuxrar►t plan the property being considered is designated Agriculi�uxe both in th$ 1990 and 2000 Land Use Plans. CO��'O� NCE WTTH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT GOALS, OBJECTTVES & POLICIES Ir► my evalyatior� of the proposed amendment I have not identified any direct con€licts with the Community Development Goals identi�ied on page 8 of the Guide Plan. However it �hould be referenced that the Guide Plan makes no provie�.on for extensian of publio water or pubiic �r�nitary sewer se�v�ce �or the Pine Bend Area ir�cluding the site in questian. Any develop�ent to occur i» Pine 8end must provide its own on-site wateX and wastewater services. In �e�pect to Guide Plan Ob�ectives for Industrial Larid Uses an issue for the Commission to evaluate is the significance of potential confl�ct with other �.and uses. Uses surrounding the prope�ty includs re�idences �and aqriculture. Most notably three residences abut the south end of the property. Yf the City were to �11ow industrial development to proceed clearly the issue of adequate sc�eenir►g or buffer between uses would have to be addressed. It may be necessary to recognize that the residenaes may �not ultimately be the most appropriate land use for that looatiop and +�hould become part of any industrial development scheme. Unde� Industrial Develapment Policies it is important to reference that Policy �3 states: "Extend no public sanitary sewer and water �exvic�s inta the Rural S�rvice Area prior ta 1990�� . At thie point the City has no pla»s to �xtend water ox sanitary eew�r to serva the property in question far the �oreseeable future. It should be noted that � Ru�al Water Sy�tem has been canstructed in the area to addres� pXivate wel.l contamination from the University of Minnesota Property. The pzoperty could be served by the Rural W�ter Sys�em at a density of one hookup per ten acres for domestic use only. Th3.s would nat accammodate adequate water supply and pr�ssure �o meet fire suppression needs (sprinkler systems) . • �SU��A���I�'� OF SI`�E FOR NDUST�2IAL DEVELOPMENT The coricept for site development includes a public street to bisect the �ite (�orth/south) connecting access point to c.S.A.H. 42 and C.R. 38. The site is basically flat open land which could be �uitable a wide range of uses including indu�trial development. F�'om a policy standpoint the Planning Commission should aonsider . �h�� the sit� is not imutediately contiguous to other industrial designated property. Further, the Commission should examine whether the proposed use of the site represents an appropriate use o� the property based upon its location. Alt�ough the aite doe� not �but other industrial des�gnated �rdperty it is situated near the maior industrial area of Pine Bend . which establishes a corrido� of industrial use along State Trunk Highway 52 in Rosemount and Tnver Grove Heights. Ir� looking at the appropriateness of the land use the Commission should consider the following issues: 1. That L.H. Sowles is propasing to utilize only a small portion of the site (5 acresj and there is not currently any interest from ather parties to development other �ot� within an industrial park. 2. That the site may have potential to accommodate a smaller numbex of larger uses rather than being subdivided into five acre parcels. Th� flat topography of the site would mak� it suitable for a use requiring a larqe building such as � wareho�sing use. A higher use of this nature would � hav� the potential to generate greater property tax revenue to of�set the cost of supply essential public services. 3. Any plan fox indu�trial development should canside= the pot�n�ia� for provision of public sanitary sewer and water. In particular an adequate water supply will be necessary t� meet fire suppression needs. In light of these issues ��e commiss�an should bear in mind that the C�ty Cou�cil at its recent goals session has determined that among the City�s maior priorities for 1990 is to begin a maior �ev�sian of thQ Co�pzehensive c�iae P1an includirig a thorough Xevis�o� of Goals, �bj�ctiv�s and Policies. Among the issues that cQu�ai� is concerned with is the prospect for additional industrial develop�e�t �lo�g the Highway 52 corridor. Council has expressed a conce�n th�t� the City cleaxly analyze land use policy for the Pi�� Bend Axea to ensure that any additional develop which occurs comple�ents the existirig industrial comp2ex without adding to existing environmental concerns present in the area. Council is a��o ao�cerAed that the City in its land use policies ensures that the Value o� praperty well suited for clean industrial development is recogn�zed and mai»tained to promote high property values and attrac� additio�al investment to the area.

Also present was City Planner Michael Wozniak and Community Development Director Dean Johnson. MOT10N by Hafhaway to approve the January 23, 1990 Reguiar Meeting Minutes as printed. Second by Meyer. Ayes 4� Nays Q The Agenda was amended as follows: Item 46. DELETED (rescheduled to February 27, 1990 Regular Planning Commission Meetins at request of petitioner). � Upon receipt of a corrected draft oi the propc�sed revisions to Secti�n tQ discussio� of the Zaning C)rdinance amendment regarding sign ordinance provisions resumed from the previous meeting. At that time several Roseinount business representatives identified areas of concer�► of the proposed sign ordinance. Key issues regarded the necessity for temporary signage permit and fee requirements, minimum duration and quantity of times per year for temporary signage allowed and the use of flags, banners, rihbons and pennauta as a temporary means of advertising. Commissioner Jacobson coaveyed Councilman Wiltcox's concurrence with theSe issues as he bad �xpressed at the previous Ptanning Commission meeting. •�. City Plann�r Wozniak stated that although the Sign Urdinance Committee, campris�d of City staff and City qf Rosemount business delegates, did not reach a eonsensus on all issues, a compromise was reached with the majority of the committee comfortable with the regulations as pcesented. Planner Wozniak furEher explaiaed that the pyrpose for requiring the permitting of temporary signs is to assure safety in sign instailation, to examiue whether vehicular or pedestrian safety is jeopardized, and to provide awareness to tlie applicant of the wning ordinance dimensional standards. Commissioner Jact>bson expressed objection to increasing the minimum dimensiona! standards oE real estate signs to 24 square feet and, further, that the origipal standard of 22 square feet was too excessive for real estate signs. .

The company erects steel framing on major buildings, builds bridges aad places large equipment for industrial development. Presently, Mr. Sowles is proposing to utiliz� only five acres of the site for equipment storage and as a maintenance facility for his busiaess. Ip evaluat'sng the Guide Plan Amendmeol Application staff did not identify any contlict with Community Development Goals, Objectives and Policies; however, the present guide plan does not have a provision for e�easiot► of pubiic water and sanitary sewer to the site in question.
