operating permit, and no modifications are needed. Klatt also highlighted the following items; no
further changes in hours of maintenance, no additional noise complaints, northern haul roadway

REGULAR MEETING PROCEEDINGS
JANUARY 15, 2019
Mr. Klatt pointed out an important item to consider is the applicant can only haul at night for public
projects, i.e. Interstate 35W. The applicant notes that the number of public projects that might occur
in a given year is very hard to predict, and that in the past several years, there have been no more
than three such projects in any given year. The planning commission and applicant were
comfortable with changing the night hauling project limit from 5 to 3. Should the applicant have a
massive contract and need to do additional work, the applicant can request an amendment to the
agreement which would be brought before the planning commission and council for approval.
The Planning Commission approved this application and held a public hearing on December 17,
2018 which no one came forward to speak.
Motion by Weisensel Second by Essler
Motion to Renew the Dakota Aggregates Large Scale Mineral Extraction Permit for 2019,
subject to the terms and conditions in the attached 2019 Draft Conditions for Mineral
Extraction Permit.
Ayes: Droste, Essler, Freske, Weisensel, Block
Nays: None. Motion carried.
9.c. Request by Newland Land Acquisition LLC for PUD Concept Plan Approval for 435
acres of Mixed Use Development, Located on the University Property
Community Development Director Lindquist introduced the first residential project proposed for
the UMore property from Newland Land Acquisition LLC. Newland has submitted a concept plan
for approval, located on 435 acres of the University of MN land.
Newland Land Acquisition LLC presented their concept plan and highlighted the development
pattern is different than the typical residential subdivisions in the community. The project shows
1356 individual lots with a total of 1556 units, when adding approximately 200 multi-family
apartment units. There will also be some land set aside for commercial development. Future items to
work through are public utilities, potential transportation issues, narrow collector roads, adjacent
future mining status, etc.
The concept plan was brought forth to the Planning Commission for review on December 17, 2018.
During the meeting one resident had concerns regarding the County Road 42 traffic. The
transportation, i.e. county road 42 & 46, Akron Avenue, would need to be evaluated by the city and
county for any future development in this area.
The concept plan approval is not binding. The plan is being used as guidance until the PUD
application is submitted. Staff and council are very supportive of the project.
Newland noted they appreciate any comments, but will not respond to them until the next stage in
the approval process. Newland is national and aware of the trends in the market and trying to
accommodate the market. Newland noted they have not selected any builders yet.
Newland discussed timing and how Newland has many items to work through, and are working with
the University and City to address noted issues. Ms. Lindquist noted Newland will come forward
