NEW BUSINESS
9.a. Request by Ron Clark Construction for Planned Unit Development Master
Development and Final Site and Building Plan, Preliminary Plat, and Final Plat Approval to
Construct a 124-unit Apartment Building on the Rosemount Plaza and Shenanigan’s Sites
Planner Nemcek discussed the request for Ron Clark Construction for Preliminary and Final Plats,
and a Planned Unit Development Master Development Plan with Rezoning to redevelop the site
containing Rosemount Plaza Shopping Center and Shenanigan’s with a 124-unit apartment building
and future commercial building. Mr. Nemcek further elaborated on the site plan, parking availability,
traffic study conducted, height of building, etc.
Mr. Nemcek noted the height of the building is slightly higher than allowed by ordinance but the
developer is maintaining existing site grades to not adversely impact the western residential
properties and preventing any potential drainage issues onto the residential properties. Mr. Nemcek
also provided an illustration comparing the height of the building to other downtown buildings, i.e.
Rosemount Floral, Steeple Center, Cambrian Commons, etc.
Council member Essler requested the resolution for approving the planned unit development master
development plan with site and building plan approval for the Morrison include wording stating the
applicant will work with the property owner to the south to address the drive aisle width and curb
cut access prior issuance of a building permit.
Council member Freske further questioned the traffic study that was completed and submitted with
the application as there is a continued concern regarding the traffic impacts on State Highway 3. Per
the traffic study, the proposed apartment building should generate less than one third the number of
trips generated by the existing uses. Council member Freske requested staff continue to request
traffic counts for this area and continue to monitor and work with the state.

vote this evening. Council members noted and addressed residents’ concerns that council has
