AUGUST 2, 1988
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a regular meeting of the City
Council of the City of Rosemount was duly held on Tuesday, August 2,
1988, at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers of the City Hall.
Mayor Hoke called the meeting to order with Councilmembers Wippermann,
Oxborough and Napper present. Councilmember Walsh was absent.
Mayor Hoke led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance.
The agenda was amended as follows: Item 4(1) Set Rezoning Hearing
Date/O'Leary's 4th Addition and Item 7(a) McCoy/Leidner Lot
Division/Combination were deleted from the agenda. Item 4(r) Approval
of Request for Umpire Payment and Item 4(s) Approval for Fencing for
Diseased Tree Site were added to the Agenda.
Kirk Schnitker, community development specialist, for Dakota County HRA
presented a proposal to Council to utilize tax increments within the
city for additional housing redevelopment. Schnitker explained there
are increments available from the scattered site housing program
established in 1984 which would allow the HRA to take home sites and
other property which are under utilized or not meeting today's building
and zoning code and offer the sites to contractors to build single
family and/or multi -family units. The proposed areas for this program
were Rose Park Addition and Broback Industrial Park. See Clerk's File
1988-22.
City Engineer Rich Hefti advised the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
will not renew the permit for the city's diseased tree site located on
University of Minnesota property until a fence is installed around the
site. Hefti advised the city received permission from the university
to install the fence, but was informed the university would not be able
to,participate in cost sharing. Since the city allows the residents of
Apple Valley to use this site, Hefti advised he has been in contact
with the City of Apple Valley as a funding source for this project.
Hefti recommended that Council approve the funding of $6,625.00 to
purchase the fence from the low bidder, Century Fence, for 1,000 feet
of eight foot high chain link fence and a twenty foot wide gate. See
Clerk's File 1988-22.
Mayor Hoke suspended the regular agenda at 8:00 p.m. to allow the
Council to conduct a public hearing scheduled for this time.
Mayor Hoke opened the public hearing to consider the zoning appeal of
Grief Bros. Corporation in regards to denial of a building permit for a
15,000 square foot addition.
The Administrator/Clerk had in his presence the Affidavit of Posted
Hearing Notice and the Affidavit of Publication. See Clerk's File
1988-22.
City Planner Mike Wozniak summarized the events leading to the denial
by the Planning Commission on June 21, 1988 to issue a building permit
to Grief Bros. Corporation for a 15,000 square foot addition. Wozniak
advised the Planning Commission denial was based upon exception to the
aesthetic appearance of the proposed exterior consisting of 100 percent

Jack Flag, plant manager of Grief Bros., objected to the planning
commission decision and advised the pre-engineered metal exterior would
require minimal maintenance and would be more cost and energy
efficient. The plant manager also defended the aesthetic appearance of
the proposed addition.
Discussion ensued between staff, council and the appellant regarding
Jack Flag's interpretation of the Planning Commission's decision. Flag
stated he felt it was the planning commission's intention for Grief
Bros. to continue with a block and brick requirement only. Planner
Wozniak agreed the Planning Commission suggested block and brick as an
appropriate material but also discussed using a mixture of materials.
It was the consensus of the Council that Grief Bros. meet with staff
and negotiate an appropriate exterior siding to be proposed to the
Planning Commission as an alternative.

Plat Commission, dated July 29, 1988, in response to staff's request.
See Clerk's File 1988-22.
Peter Sorenson, traffic engineer for Dakota County, briefly reviewed
the county spacing guidelines for right in access, and the spacing
guidelines for the section of County Road 42 adjoining the Rosehaven
Mall.
Steve Ramsey, developer, and Darrill Anderson, architect, for the
project requested Council's consideration to approve the right in
access off of County Road 42. Other residents came before Council
supporting the right in only access.
MOTION by Napper to approve the right turn in access only for Rosehaven
Addition and to authorize city staff to submit the petition to the

of the purpose, role of members, makeup and involvement of members for
the storm water master plan committee. Jilk expected the committee to

August 17, 1988. See Clerk's File 1988-22.
MOTION by Hoke to approve the administrator's outline and summary dated

Ayes: Wippermann, Hoke, Oxborough, Napper. Nays: 0.
Administrator Jilk reviewed city staff discussions with representatives
of the Baptist Church regarding the Hawkins Pond project over the last
several months. Jilk stated that recently staff met with the church
representatives to clarify the city's position on several issues and
referred to a letter dated July 22, 1988 from the administrator to
Pastor Edwin Johnson summarizing the city's position. Jilk advised
that Mayor Hoke was informed by the church that the city's proposal was
unacceptable, and the church voted to "opt out" of the Hawkins Pond
project and requested fill material from the project. Jilk stated
staff has requested another meeting with the church and requested
Council's concurrence that staff proceed with the project as proposed
and allow the bidding contractors to determine the method of disposal
of the fill material. See Clerk's File 1988-22.
