SPECIAL MEETING
JUNE 290 1988
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a Special Meeting of the City
Council of the City of Rosemount was duly held on Tuesday, June 29,
1988, at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers of City Hall.
The meeting was called to order with all members of the Council
present. Also in attendance were all members of the Rosemount Planning
Commission, Empire Township Board Chair Gerald Stelzel, Empire Township
Supervisor Terry Holmes, Empire Township Planning Commission Chair
Jerry Wicktor, and Rosemount City Staff Members Administrator Stephan
Jilk, City Engineer Rich Hefti, Community Development Director Dean
Johnson, Planner Mike Wozniak, Police Chief James Staats and Deputy
Clerk Susan Johnson.
Mayor Hoke led the group in the.Pledge of Allegiance.
It was the consensus of the city and township officials that there
should be ongoing efforts between the two communities regarding mutual
concerns and projects. Discussion was held on the realignment and
maintenance of 160th Street, Empire's long range plan to keep all land
south of 160th Street as an Agricultural district, long range land use
decisions regarding University of Minnesota lands, the airport issue
and utilities.
Empire Township Board Chair Gerald Stelzel advised he will recommend
that the board adopt a resolution to be forwarded along with a letter
from the City of Rosemount to Interim President Richard Sauer of the
University of Minnesota that all land south of 160th Street maintain
its present zoning status as an Agricultural district.
Officials from Rosemount and Empire unanimously opposed any proposal to
realign 160th Street to a location farther south than it presently is
located. Administrator Stephan Jilk will notify Empire Township
officials when a meeting has been scheduled with University of
Minnesota consultants to discuss this proposed realignment.
Officials from both communities further agreed it would be beneficial
to get formal action from both governing bodies and make a cooperative
presentation to the Rosemount Advisory Council in August, 1988
regarding their desire to have active participation in the long range
planning and land use decisions of the University of Minnesota lands.
The next joint meeting was tentatively scheduled for October, 1988.
Respectfully submitted,
Susan M. Johnson, Deputy Clerk
