SUMMARY
Cooperative Power is requesting a permit to install a high power transmission line in Rosemount
from Dodd Blvd and County Road 38 (McAndrews Road) to Eagan in the STH 3 ROW. Most of
the route is within ROW. The new Essential Services Facilities ordinance requires a public
hearing for high power transmission lines that are more than 1/4 mile in length.
The reasons for the line are essentially the need to supply power for increasing demands in a
developing area, particularly in Eagan which is in the MUSA. Representatives of Cooperative
Power will be present to answer technical questions regarding the proposed line.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to recommend that the City Council approve the
Transmission Facilities permit requested by Cooperative
