SUMMARY
The Planning Commission is being asked to consider requests by David Schmitz to facilitate the
construction of a microbrewery with taproom on property he owns at 12296 Bacardi Avenue in
Rosemount. The application includes the following specific requests: a variance to allow the platting of a
separate parcel for the microbrewery smaller than otherwise allowed in an AG – Agriculture zoning
district, a simple plat to divide the existing 19.83 acre parcel into two separate lots so that the
microbrewery will be located on a separate parcel, and a conditional use permit to establish a microbrewery
in an AG – Agriculture zoning district. The proposed microbrewery would be housed within a 4,355
square feet structure with roughly one quarter of the space devoted to the brewing operation and the other
portion available for seating, meeting area, and a small kitchen. Staff is recommending approval of all
three components of the request with the conditions as listed above.
Property Owner: David Schmitz, 2100 126th Street West, Rosemount, MN
Applicant: David Schmitz (DCJD, LLC), Same Address
Location: 12296 Bacardi Avenue (PID 340161017010)
Site Area in Acres: 19.83 Acres (not including neighboring strip of land)
Comprehensive Plan Designation RR – Rural Residential
Current Zoning: AG – Agriculture
Proposed Conditional Use: Microbrewery (Defined in Section 11-4-1. D of City Code)
The City has received several emails, letters, and a petition concerning the application in advance of the
public hearing. All such correspondence received before 10am on April 10th has been included in the
Planning Commission’s agenda packet. Any subsequent written comments will be distributed before the
meeting.
BACKGROUND
The applicant owns the property at 12296 Bacardi Avenue which currently houses a single-family
residential structure (non-homestead) and a 3,300 square foot detached accessory building. The site is
located a little more than one mile north of Bonaire Path and ¼ mile south of 120th Street on the eastern
side of Bacardi Avenue. Overall the property slopes from its highest point along Bacardi Avenue in the
northwest part of the site towards the east, and includes a series of rolling hills and valleys that lead to a
wetland at the far eastern property boundary extending into the adjacent parcel. The site is split between
open fields and grass areas in the northern half of the property and heavily wooded areas covering the
southern portion of the property.
The subject property is located within the City’s north-central rural area and is outside of the 2040 planned
urban service area (MUSA). The site is not planned to have public sewer and water services within the
time-frame of the recently adopted land use plan. All of the surrounding properties are either large-lot
rural residential (larger than 5 acres per house), permanent open space, or are being used for active
agricultural activity. The zoning in the area reflects the current property uses, with a mixture of rural
residential zoning for the smaller residential sites and agricultural zoning for the larger parcels of land.
Most of the property surrounding the applicant’s site is zoned agricultural with the exception of the 5-acre
residential property immediately across Bacardi Avenue.

One of the issues unique to this portion of the City that must be addressed by the applicant is the current
alignment of Bacardi Avenue next to the properties abutting it. In this area, Bacardi Avenue does not
follow the adjacent section line like other roads in the City, and there is a gap between the edge of
prescriptive road right-of-way and properties to the east. This gap is currently owned by the property
owner on the west side of the road, which presents two problems. First, the applicant technically owns a
parcel that does not directly abut right-of-way and therefore cannot be developed without such access (the
existing driveway may have some grandfathered rights, but this is a legal question outside the scope of the
City’s land use authority). Secondly, the City’s zoning and setback requirements are measured from
property lines, which pushes any buildings or other improvements much further back from the road than
would otherwise be required by the City with a standard right-of-way. This issue has come up in other
projects along Bacardi Avenue, including the Leidner subdivision and the City’s purchase of the Wiklund
property to the north. The applicant has acknowledged this problem and has indicated that he will work
to resolve the property issue with the adjoining property owner. The adjoining property owner has signed
off on the application to permit the review process to proceed.
The applicant is proposing to construct a new microbrewery structure on the northwest portion of the
property that will include a brewing area, taproom, meeting room, outdoor patio, parking area, and related
improvements including a new well and septic treatment area. The microbrewery will be 4,355 square feet
in size and designed to look like a rural structure complete with gabled barn-style roof, vertical siding
panels (composite/fiber cement siding), large overhead doors, and other decorative elements intended to
mimic a barn or other agricultural structure. The proposed microbrewery will be located on a relatively
flat portion of the site closer to Bacardi Avenue than the existing single-family home and will be accessed
via a new driveway about 400 feet north of the residence driveway.
Within the structure roughly half of the floor space would be devoted to the brewing operation, which will
include fermentation tanks, coolers, and other brewing equipment. The other portions of the operation
will include a bar and seating area for the taproom, restrooms, meeting area, and kitchen. The applicant
has indicated the kitchen will serve a limited menu of food items (i.e. pizza and appetizers) to compliment
the beer available for sale. The plans also include a 20 by 40-foot outdoor concrete patio to provide an
outdoor seating area for patrons of the facility. The overall seating capacity is expected to be 84 persons,
which results in a parking requirement of 29 stalls (including the brewery operations).
The City’s zoning regulations include several different categories for breweries and related uses, and the
City has chosen to allow certain types of actives in agricultural areas through a conditional use permit to
help promote these types of activities within the community. The specific uses allowed are spelled out in
the zoning ordinance as follows: Farm wineries, with or without associated event spaces, microbreweries,
microdistilleries, winery associated retail and restaurants without drive-through facilities. Specifically
looking at microbreweries, the zoning ordinance defines these and related uses as:
BREWERY, MICRO: A facility that produces not more than three thousand five hundred (3,500)
barrels of malt liquor in a calendar year as regulated by Minnesota statutes, as may be amended.
TAPROOM: An area within a microbrewery, small brewery or brewery; or a premise adjacent to the
microbrewery, small brewery or brewery and under the same ownership as the microbrewery, small
brewery or brewery; that provides the on-sale of the malt liquor produced by the microbrewery, small
brewery or brewery.
Under this definition, the facility will be limited to the overall amount of beer that can be brewed over the
course of a year, and is the smallest of the brewery categories defined by the code. Also listed above is the
definition for a taproom since the applicant is asking to include one as part of his proposed facility. Please
note that a taproom as defined limits the sale of beer only to that produced on the premises, must be
adjacent to the brewery, and must be under the same ownership as the brewery. Because the uses allowed
5
within an AG zoning district include winery with restaurants without drive-through facilities and notes
microbreweries in the same section, the applicant’s proposed kitchen and seating area is allowed as part of
the conditional use permit request.
No septic or soils data has been provided to the City, and the applicant will also need to demonstrate
compliance with the City’s well and septic system design requirements prior to the issuance of a building
permit.
ISSUE ANALYIS
There are three components to the request in front of the Planning Commission, and staff will be
reviewing the most important information related to each in the sections below. Please note that the
required site plan review is processed as part of a conditional use permit and is also included in the
sections that follow.
Subdivision - Simple Plat
The applicant is proposing construct the microbrewery on property he presently owns at 12296 Bacardi
Avenue; however, due to issues associated with the project financing (among other reasons) he is
requesting a subdivision to split the brewery parcel from the existing residential home site. The existing
parcel is 19.83 acres in size, and the applicant is proposing to subdivide the property into two parcels of
2.48 acres and 17.87 acres in size, with the smaller parcel created specifically for the proposed
microbrewery and majority of the site remaining with the residential structure. As you will note from
adding up these two areas, the proposed subdivision includes some additional land not currently owned by
the applicant.
Due to the issue associated with the Bacardi Avenue right-of-way as noted above, the applicant is
proposing to include additional land currently owned by the neighboring property across Bacardi Avenue
with the proposed subdivision. This will allow the applicant to plat to the centerline of the road and utilize
all of the property on the east of the road (the “gap” area). To date the City has received an
acknowledgement from the affected property owner consenting to the application moving forward;
however, the applicant does not control this property and will need to secure fee ownership in order
subdivide the property as shown. The land use request as presented cannot move forward without this
change in ownership, and a critical condition of approval requires the applicant to address this issue in
order for the plat to be recorded. Failure to address this issue will also render the remaining two requests
null and void since they are dependent on the site plan as depicted with the adjusted property and right-of-
way. The additional land to be acquired is approximately one acre, all of which is east of the centerline of
Bacardi Avenue.
The property owner to the south has also indicated that he controls an easement across the applicant’s
property that dates back to a time before Bacardi Avenue existed in its present configuration. This owner
is concerned that the proposed subdivision and construction will eliminate a potential access option
considering the right-of-way alignment issues along Bacardi Avenue. Please note that this is a private
easement and is not a document that can be enforced or used by the City. As such, staff does not believe
this is a matter that the City should try to regulate since it pertains to private property agreements. Staff is
suggesting that the owners resolve and potential conflicts as a condition of approval, and the applicant has
indicated that he has already approached the owner to discuss this issue.
Another issue with the proposed subdivision is that the 2.48-acre brewery parcel does not meet the
minimum lot size or density requirements for the AG – Agriculture zoning district. The zoning ordinance
requires a minimum lot size of 2.5 acres and maximum density of one dwelling unit per 40 acres.
Although no housing is proposed for the smaller lot, staff’s interpretation of the code is that the minimum
number of parcels that can be created from a 40-acre site is one under this standard. In this case, the 20-
acre lot is already below the density threshold established by the zoning ordinance. In order to move
6
forward with the request as presented, the applicant has therefore applied for a variance to allow the
subdivision of a lot below the minimum requirements of the AG zoning district. Related to this request,
the larger parcel does not have the required frontage of 300 feet along Bacardi Avenue, which also requires
a variance from the City’s requirements. Should the Board of Appeals and Adjustments deny the variance
request, the other elements of the application (including the subdivision and conditional use permit)
cannot move forward without major modifications.
The applicant is proposing a simple plat for the subdivision, which allows the City to waive some of the
normal subdivision application requirements and to combine the preliminary and final plat review into one
action. While the proposed plat does create two new buildable parcels, the resulting rural lots will not be
served by any new public improvements (roads or public sewer and water); therefore, many of the City’s
standard plat application materials are not necessary for this subdivision.
Variance Request and Standards
The applicant is requesting variances from the AG – Agricultural zoning district regulations as follows:
• Section 11-4-1 (F-1) Minimum Lot Area. The minimum lot area is 2.5 acres and one of the
proposed lot sizes is 2.48 acres.
• Section 11-4-1 (F-2) Minimum Lot Width. This section of code specifies that the minimum lot
width for in an AG zoning district is 300 feet and the applicant is proposing to create a lot with a
width of 239.23 feet.
• Section 11-4-1 (F-6) Maximum Gross Density. The maximum density is one dwelling unit per
40 acres and the applicant is proposing to create two lots over 20.84 acres.
When the microbrewery was initially proposed, the applicant intended to construct the brewing operation
on the same property as the existing residential structure. After working on the financing for the project, it
became apparent that it would be difficult to finance the business without it being located on a separate
parcel. The applicant has therefore argued that the inability to complete the project without a division of
the property represents a practical difficulty for moving forward with the project. From a land use
perspective, the actual buildings and arrangement of activity on the land will not appear any differently
than if it were one parcel.
In order to support the variance for a separate lot for the microbrewery, staff is recommending a condition
of approval requiring the applicant establish deed restrictions on the properties that prevent the sale of the
brewery property independent of the single-family site. With this condition, the City will have some
assurances that the overall residential density will not be increased in this area. In addition, common
ownership of the parcels will also help ensure that the overall residential character of the surrounding
properties is retained. Should the microbrewery use go away at some point in the future, the structure
could be repurposed as an accessory structure to the permitted residential use as opposed to a vacant or
underutilized building by itself.
According to Section 11-12-2. G, there are five criteria for the Board of Appeals and Adjustments to
review when considering a variance request. The five criteria used to assess each request along with staff’s
draft findings for each are listed below. While weighing a variance request against these criteria, there are
also two key issues to consider. The first is whether there the owner proposes to use the property in a
reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning ordinance. The second is whether the project can be
redesigned to eliminate or reduce the need for a variance. The Board of Zoning Appeals must approve or
deny each request based on findings related to each of the five standards.
7
1) The variance request is in harmony with the purposes and intent of the ordinance. Finding: The zoning
ordinance allows microbreweries (and therefore all permitted accessory activities as well) in the AG
zoning district, and the proposed use is intended to resemble an agricultural outbuilding in terms
of size, building materials, and overall design.
2) The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. Finding: The site is guided for Rural Residential
land uses, and the AG – Agricultural zoning district is listed as an acceptable zoning for this land
category. The Comprehensive Plan supports activities that promote a reasonable economic return
on larger agricultural properties outside of the City’s MUSA boundary. The Plan further supports
the expansion of restaurant and local shopping opportunities within the community.
3) Granting of the variance allows reasonable use of the property. Finding: The microbrewery is allowed with
a conditional use permit in the City’s AG zoning district and the proposed activity and structure
are consistent with the requirements for this use. The zoning ordinance would allow a
microbrewery to be constructed on the same parcel as an agricultural home site, and the proposed
variance will allow the same use of property but on separate parcels.
4) There are unique circumstances to the property which are not created by the landowner. Finding: The property
it one of only a few larger agricultural parcels remaining in the City’s north central rural
development area and the proposed variance allows a reasonable economic return from this larger
parcel.
5) Granting of the variance does not alter the essential character of the locality. Finding: The variance will allow
the same use of property on separate parcels as would be allowed on the larger 20-acre parcel
without a subdivision. The proposed covenant addresses the intent of the ordinance but allows
the applicant to finance the project. The proposed building is intended to replicate the character of
the surrounding agricultural uses.
Site Plan and Conditional Use Permit Review
The site plan review and conditional use permit review comments are included as part of the following
section. The proposed conditional use would allow the construction of a 4,355 square foot microbrewery
and taproom and related ancillary uses from a parcel with direct access to Bacardi Avenue.
Building and Materials
The applicant is proposing to construct a building to house the microbrewery and taproom that mimics
the appearance of a historic barn or granary building typical of the region. The predominant feature will
be vertical composite siding with a gable roof facing Bacardi Avenue to the west. Accents will include
corrugated metal in limited quantities along with a mix of wood and glass for the doors and windows.
Two larger roll-up doors will provide access to a patio area facing east and overlooking the natural areas
east of the building. The proposed plans include an expansion area on the northwest side of the building;
however, any expansion is not included as part of the current request and would be subject to City
approval at a future date.
The City does not identify any specific design requirements for a microbrewery in an agricultural zoning
district, therefore the proposed design should be reviewed for consistency with the City’s agricultural and
residential standards for the AG district. As proposed, the building meets or exceeds the City’s standards
for such uses.
8
Building Layout and Setbacks
Internally the proposed building will divide space between the actual brewing operations and the
taproom/ancillary uses related to the microbrewery. The northwest portion of the building will house the
fermentation tanks, coolers, and other brewing equipment while the remainder of the structure will be
devoted to the taproom, restrooms, kitchen, and a small meeting room. The applicant has stated that the
taproom will serve a light menu intended to supplement the main brewing activity taking place within the
facility. The taproom will be able to accommodate up to 89 individuals with seating at a bar area, tables,
and the meeting room. Two larger roll-up doors facing toward the east will provide access to an outdoor
patio area.
The building is configured on the site to face towards the southwest and at a roughly 45-degree angle to
Bacardi Avenue. The parking lot will also be angled in the same manner and will extend from the front
building line to the southwest corner of the property. A walkway is proposed in front of the building that
will wrap around the building to the outdoor patio. The site plan also documents the proposed storm
water ponding area, potential future expansion area, the location of the trash enclosure, and the primary
and alternative septic treatment areas.
As drafted, the site plan has been designed to meet all applicable building setbacks in the AG zoning
district. Most notably, the closest portion of the building facing Bacardi Avenue and all parking areas will
be set back at least 50 feet from the front property line/street right-of-way, which is the minimum front
yard setback required in this zoning district. With over 2 acres around the building, the site plan conforms
to the minimum side and rear setbacks of 30 feet as well. Please note that the setbacks assume that the
applicant will be able to obtain fee title to and plat the gap property between the current parcel and
Bacardi Avenue.
Access and Parking
The proposed access to the site will occur with a new private driveway about 400 feet north of the
driveway to the single-family residence on the property. This driveway will lead to a 29-stall parking lot in
front of the microbrewery. The 29 stalls meet the minimum requirements of the off-street parking
ordinance based on a seating capacity of 84 for the tap room/general seating area (one stall per three seats)
and the total gross floor area devoted to the microbrewery (one stall per 500 square feet of gross floor
area). A condition of approval prohibits parking along Bacardi Avenue for the use and the applicant
would have to increase on-site parking if demand exceeds stalls provided. The applicant is proposing a
gravel or recycled asphalt and cement material for the driveway and parking whereas the code typically
requires a hard surface (concrete or bituminous surface) for these surfaces.
Because Bacardi Avenue is not paved adjacent to the property, staff is recommending a condition of
approval that requires the driveway and parking area to be paved at the time the City paves Bacardi
Avenue in front of the microbrewery. Paving of Bacardi Avenue is not in the City’s 10-year Capital
Improvement Program, and the traffic expected from the microbrewery is not extensive enough to
requiring paving on its own.
Wetlands
There is a large wetland complex located immediately east of the applicant’s parcel, and a small portion of
this wetland area encroaches on to the subject parcel. Because it is nearly 1,000 feet from the proposed
construction activity, staff is not requiring that the applicant complete a full wetland delineation for the
property and is instead suggesting that the applicant include drainage and utility easements up to the
required buffer of the wetland as required under the City’s wetland management ordinances. In addition
to the drainage and utility easements, the applicant will also need to dedicate a conservation easement over
the same areas. The limits of the buffering may be based on the ordinary high-water level of the
waterbody on this portion of the site.
9
Lighting
The applicant has not submitted a specific lighting plan, but the building elevation drawings depict light
fixtures on the side of the building. The City Engineer is recommending additional lighting near the
driveway entrance to improve the safety at this entrance for vehicles at night. Staff is recommending that
the applicant prepare a lighting plan for the property, and that this plan use downcast fixtures to minimize
glare to adjacent properties.
Bacardi Avenue Right-of-Way
As currently proposed, the applicant would be acquiring property to the centerline of Bacardi Avenue, and
then would in turn dedicate the required right-of-way back to the City as part of the subdivision. The
width of the right-of-way is consistent with other dedications in the area, and the 33 feet would match the
partial dedication on the opposite side of the road.
Utilities
The site is located outside of the City’s planned urban service area, and the applicant is proposing to
construct a new private sewage treatment system and private well to serve the microbrewery. Both
systems must be designed to accommodate the expected commercial demand from the proposed uses and
must be sized to meet all current state department of health and pollution control agency standards.
Grading and Storm Water Management
The applicant has submitted a grading plan with the site and development plans along with a storm water
plan that has been reviewed by the City Engineer. The plan calls for the creation of a storm water
infiltration basin in the southeast corner of the microbrewery property that will collect new storm water
runoff from the building and parking lot. The structure will be constructed on a relatively flat portion of
the property, but some grading is necessary to level the building site and to drain the parking area towards
the infiltration basin. The City Engineer’s report includes several comments concerning the stormwater
plan that will need to be address by the applicant prior to construction of the facility.
Landscaping
A separate landscape plan has been submitted with the application, and the plan depicts 16 evergreen trees
planted around the perimeter of the parking area. The plan does not call for the removal of any existing
trees on the site, and the building and parking lot are in an open area of the property away from the tree
line around the northern property boundary and the single-family home. A portion of the septic area does
slightly encroach into the northern tree line, and the applicant is encouraged to minimize any disruption to
the trees in this area when the drain field is constructed.
The zoning ordinance does not require any specific plantings within AG zoning districts; however, because
the proposed use is commercial in nature, staff would like to see the development adhere to the
commercial landscaping standards of one tree per 3,000 square feet of area. The commercial standards
also require foundation plantings of one planting per 10 linear feet of building and should also be met by
the applicant.
Development Fees
Although many of the City’s standard development fees will not apply to the proposed subdivision
because it will not be served by public water and sewer service, there are two development fees that will
apply as follows:
• Fee in Lieu of Land Dedication - $9,000per acres for commercial development.
• Surface Water Trunk Area Assessment - $6,865 per acre.
10
Because the new development is focused on the microbrewery lot (Lot 1, Block 1) staff is recommending
that the fees apply only to the 2.48-acre parcel. Development fees for any future development or
redevelopment of the single-family home parcel (Lot 2, Block 1) would need to be reevaluated in the
future. This site is located outside of the City’s MUSA boundary and no further development is
anticipated under the Comprehensive Plan.
Conditional Use Permi t
Conditional use permits (CUP) are considered quasi-judicial actions. In such cases, the City is acting as a
judge to determine if the regulations within the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision
Ordinance are being followed. Generally, if the application meets these requirements it must be approved.
Staff is listing the requirements for approving a conditional use permit int the following section, along with
a set of draft findings that may be considered by the Planning Commission based on the development and
site plan review as presented.
Review and Analysis (CUP Requirements and Draft Findings)
1) Will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, or general welfare of the neighborhood or the city.
Finding: The zoning ordinance allows certain specific activities that are more commercial in
nature within the AG – Agricultural zoning district and that allow a reasonable economic return on
larger parcels that have historically been used for farming activities but are no longer viable for
such activities. The site design and conditions of approval are intended to address any off-site
impacts from construction and operation of a microbrewery on the site. The brewing of beer and
service of food and beverages will take place entirely within enclosed structure except for an
outdoor patio facing away from the public street.
2) Will be harmonious with the objectives of the comprehensive plan and city code provisions. Finding: The site is
guided for Rural Residential land uses, and the AG – Agricultural zoning district is listed as an
acceptable zoning for this land category. The Comprehensive Plan supports activities that
promote a reasonable economic return on larger agricultural properties outside of the City’s MUSA
boundary. The Plan further supports the expansion of restaurant and local shopping opportunities
within the community. The proposed microbrewery complies with all applicant site and building
design standards in the zoning ordinance.
3) Will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained so as to be compatible or similar in an architectural and
landscape appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and will not change the essential
character of that area, nor substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. Finding:
The microbrewery is designed to resemble an agricultural building, and will use architectural
features and elements that look like a historic farm out building
4) Will be served adequately by existing (or those proposed in the project) essential public facilities and services,
including streets, police and fire protection, drainage, structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems and schools.
Finding: The site will be served with private well and septic systems designed to meet current
standards and appropriately sized for the expected uses.
5) Will not involve uses, activities, processes, material equipment, and conditions of operation that will be hazardous or
detrimental to any persons, property, or the general welfare because of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke,
fumes, glare, or odors. Finding: All processing associated with the microbrewery will occur within an
enclosed building, and no external impacts, including noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors are
expected from the use.

6) Will have vehicular ingress and egress to the property which does not create traffic congestion or interfere with traffic
on surrounding public streets. Finding: The use will generate additional truck and vehicular traffic,
but not in a capacity that would be substantially different from an active agricultural use. There is
sufficient capacity along Bacardi Avenue to handle additional traffic from the use. The applicant
has designed the site to comply with all parking and access spacing requirements.
7) Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic, or historic feature of major importance and will
comply with all local, state, and federal environmental quality standards. Finding: The project will have little
to no environmental impact, nor will it result in the destruction, loss, or damage of any natural,
scenic, or historic feature of major importance. The site is located adjacent to the Wiklund Nature
Preserve, but the microbrewery will be situated over 150 feet from this boundary and will leave
existing trees along the northern property line in place that will act as a buffer to the preserve.
The AG – Agriculture zoning district includes several specific requirements for microbreweries as follows:
1) The site and building(s) shall be designed to limit the effects of this use on adjacent properties and public rights-of-
way. No loading docks or overhead vehicle doors shall be on a side abutting any public rights-of-way or any
residential use or district. Comment: the proposed building does not include a loading dock, and the
pull up doors providing access to the outdoor patio face away from the public street.
2) The principal building shall be the primary source for screening of the loading area or any required outdoor
equipment. Comment: Other than the screened trash enclosure area, the applicant is not planning
to install any outdoor equipment or designate a loading area for the facility.
3) All drives, loading and parking areas for the farm winery and associated uses shall be paved with a concrete or
bituminous surface including concrete curbing. Comment: Staff is recommending a condition of approval
that requires paving of the driveway and parking lot at the time the City paved Bacardi Avenue in
front of the use. The delay in paving is consistent with the agricultural character of the area.
4) Pedestrian circulation between the parking area and the farm winery and associated uses shall be provided through
sidewalks at least five feet (5') in width and paved with concrete, bituminous, pavers or similar hardscape.
Comment: A concrete walkway connecting the parking lot, building, and outdoor patio is shown
on the development plans.
5) Outdoor seating is subject to the performance standards outlined for outdoor seating in section 3-1-14 of this Code
and subsection 11-4-14D of this chapter. Comment: The applicant will need to comply with these
standards.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of a Variance, Simple Plat, and Conditional Use Permit request to allow the
establishment of a microbrewery and associated taproom at 12296 Bacardi Avenue. The recommendation
for approval is based on the information provided to the Planning Commission and the draft findings of
fact presented in this report.
Hello Neighbor,
We are writing this letter to you, our neighbor, with the hope that we can have an open dialogue about the
proposed brewery on Bacardi Avenue. Like you, we have lived in this neighborhood for many years and want
to maintain and enjoy the “country” feel as much as possible. With that in mind, we would like to share some
of our thoughts and, hopefully, address some of your concerns.
After becoming friends with Bob and Jeanne Manseau, we purchased their Bacardi property in 2004 with the
idea of trying to do something with the property that would keep the land as open as possible. We appreciate
the beauty of the countryside and the wildlife that lives in the area. Since that time, development has crept up
all around us. Large housing additions have sprung up to the north and south, with other potential
developments in the works. We all have watched these housing developments get closer and closer. With the
new houses have come increased traffic on Bacardi Avenue. Like many of you, we enjoy walking on Bacardi
Avenue. This is becoming and will continue to become more difficult as the housing developments creep
closer.
When we purchased the property on Bacardi, we knew that it was not something we could afford to sit on
forever as a non-income producing property. We have thought about many ideas over the years such as a
wedding venue, brewery or housing development. Because of the topography, farming is not a viable option to
produce any significant income. For various reasons the most palatable idea has become the brewery idea.
The brewery concept allows us to keep the land in its most natural state and to share it with others in the
community. We have been working on this project for over five years and have done much research. The
research shows that there are benefits to landowners within a certain distance of the brewery, including
increased land values. The research also supports that a brewery will benefit the community in that it acts as a
social center for neighbors, families and friends. We see this brewery as an asset to the city of Rosemount and
especially to the neighborhood. I know many of us enjoy our open spaces, but it would also be nice to get to
know our neighbors better. The brewery could provide a social setting where we come together to visit.
Similar to many other breweries we have visited, we envision the setting of our brewery to be a family friendly
gathering space that promotes community and supports fun activities, such as local fundraisers and trivia
nights. A brewery is not a “bar,” but an establishment that proudly serves only craft beer and root beer that is
brewed on-site during limited hours.
We would love to discuss the brewery concept with you further. We had hoped to invite neighbors over for
continued conversation, but due to COVID-19, will have to settle for phone conversations or other forms of
communication, such as e-mails.
If you have questions about the proposed project, or would like to discuss it further, we can be reached at 651-
353-6176 or schmitdl@frontiernet.net. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. We are looking
forward to carrying on the conversation and hope to answer any concerns you might have.
Sincerely,
The Schmitz Family

CITY OF ROSEMOUNT
DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION BA2020-01
A RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE TO ALLOW THE PLATTING OF A LOT
THAT DOES NOT MEET THE MINIMUM AREA AND FRONTAGE REQUIREMENTS
FOR AN AG - AGRICULTURAL ZONING DISTRICT.
WHEREAS, David Schmitz, 2100 126th Street West, Rosemount, MN (the “Applicant”), has
submitted an application to the City Rosemount (the “City”), for a variance to allow the creation of
two lots, one of which will be 2.48 acres in size and the other of which will have 239.23 feet of
frontage along a public street, both associated with the North 20 Brewery Addition; and
WHEREAS, the Rosemount zoning ordinance requires a minimum lot size of 2.5 acres and density
of no more than one dwelling unit per 40 acres and a minimum lot width of 300 feet along a public
street in an AG – Agricultural zoning district; and
WHEREAS, notice has been published, mailed and posted pursuant to the Rosemount Zoning
Ordinance, Section 11-12-2; and
WHEREAS, the Rosemount Board of Appeals and Adjustments held a public hearing and
considered said on said matter on April 14, 2020; and
NOW, THEREFORE, based on the testimony elicited and information received, the Rosemount
Board of Appeals and Adjustments makes the following:
FINDINGS
1. That the procedures for obtaining said Variance are found in the Rosemount Zoning
Ordinance, Section 11-12-2.
2. That all the submission requirements of said Section 11-12-2 have been met by the
Applicant.
3. That the Variance will be located on property legally described as follows (the applicant’s
current lot prior to subdivision/recombination):
The N ½ of the SW ¼ of the NE ¼ of Section 16, Township 115, Range 19, Dakota County,
Minnesota.
And also,
2
Beginning at the northeast corner of the SE ¼ of the NW ¼ of Section 16, Township 115,
Range 19, Dakota County, Minnesota; thence S 89°46’59” W, assumed bearing, along the
north line of said SE ¼ a distance of 73.56 feet; thence S 1°01’24” E a distance of 651.27 feet
to the westerly extension of the south line of the N ½ of the SW ¼ of the NE ¼ of said
Section 16; thence N 89°47’32” E, along said south line, a distance of 61.34 feet to the east line
of the SE ¼ of the NW ¼ of said Section 16; thence N 0°03’06” E, along said east line, a
distance of 651.22 feet to the point of beginning.
4. The variance request is in harmony with the purposes and intent of the ordinance. Finding :
The zoning ordinance allows microbreweries (and therefore all permitted accessory activities
as well) in the AG zoning district, and the proposed use is intended to resemble an
agricultural outbuilding in terms of size, building materials, and overall design.
5. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. Finding : The site is guided for
Rural Residential land uses, and the AG – Agricultural zoning district is listed as an
acceptable zoning for this land category. The Comprehensive Plan supports activities that
promote a reasonable economic return on larger agricultural properties outside of the City’s
MUSA boundary. The Plan further supports the expansion of restaurant and local shopping
opportunities within the community.
6. Granting of the variance allows reasonable use of the property. Finding : The
microbrewery is allowed with a conditional use permit in the City’s AG zoning district and
the proposed activity and structure are consistent with the requirements for this use. The
zoning ordinance would allow a microbrewery to be constructed on the same parcel as an
agricultural home site, and the proposed variance will allow the same use of property but on
separate parcels.
7. There are unique circumstances to the property which are not created by the landowner.
Finding : The property it one of only a few larger agricultural parcels remaining in the City’s
north central rural development area and the proposed variance allows a reasonable
economic return from this larger parcel.
8. Granting of the variance does not alter the essential character of the locality. Finding : The
variance will allow the same use of property on separate parcels as would be allowed on the
larger 20-acre parcel without a subdivision. The proposed building is intended to replicate
the character of the surrounding agricultural uses.
CONCLUSIONS AND DECISION
Based on the foregoing, the Applicant’s application for a Variance is granted, subject to the
following condition:
1) Approval of a conditional use permit by the City Council to establish a microbrewery on the
lot to be created as a result of the variance.
2) Recording of a deed restriction over Lots 1 & 2, Block 1 that prohibits the sale of either
parcel independent from other property (residential and commercial).
3
Passed and duly adopted this 14th day of April 2020, by the Board of Appeals and Adjustments of
the City of Rosemount, Minnesota.

Subject: North 20 Brewing Microbrewery and Taproom Simple Plat - Engineering
Review
SUBMITTAL:
The plans for North 20 Microbrewery have been prepared by Jacobson Engineers & Surveyors,
dated February 7th, 2020. Engineering review comments were generated from the following
documents included in the submittal:
▫ Preliminary and Final Plat
▫ Site Plan with Survey and Grading
(dated 2/7/2020)
▫ SWPPP
▫ Stormwater Narrative and Modeling
Results
GENERAL COMMENTS:
1. The development fees below are estimated based on the current Schedule of Rates and
Fees. These fees are due with the final plat and subdivision agreement.
§ GIS Fees: $60/unit
§ Storm Sewer Trunk Charge: $6865/ net developable acre
2. Stormwater management plan must be signed by an engineer registered in the state of
Minnesota.
RIGHT OF WAY AND EASEMENTS:
The plat consists of re-platting two existing parcels on either side of Bacardi Avenue. Bacardi
Avenue right of way will be platted to address an existing access issue for the parcel on the east
side. The parcel on the east side will also be divided into two lots: the microbrewery site and the
existing home site.
3. Applicant shall dedicate right-of-way for the east side of Bacardi Avenue per City
requirements.
4. Drainage and Utility (D&U) easements shall be dedicated around the perimeter of the
lots, over the stormwater BMP and drainage way.
5. Applicant shall enter into a Stormwater Maintenance and Easement Agreement with the
City for the proposed, private stormwater BMPs.
6. Conservation easements are required over the wetland and buffers. Signage for
conservation easements shall be provided by the developer.
7. Signage for buffer areas around the infiltration basin shall be installed by the developer
and an extended maintenance warranty shall be required to ensure establishment of the
naturally vegetated areas.
8. Trees are not allowed to be planted within D&U easements, over the proposed storm
sewer, or within a pond access location. Trees located on individual properties shall not
be planted near the sanitary sewer and water service lines.
9. The width of drainage and utility easements shall be verified during final design.
STREETS AND PARKING LOTS
Bacardi Avenue right of way will be platted to provide access to the lots on the east side. The
microbrewery parking lot will have an access off Bacardi Avenue.
10. Turnaround at the end of the parking aisle shall be minimum of 10 feet by 24 feet.
11. Sidewalk shall be separated from the parking lot either by elevation or by horizontal
separate.
12. As there is no street lighting on Bacardi Avenue at this location, applicant shall provide
lighting at the microbrewery access for improved visibility.
WATER AND SANITARY SEWER
This part of town is outside the Municipal Urban Service Area, and therefore does not have City
water or sanitary sewer. The applicant has proposed a well and septic system to serve the
microbrewery and taproom.
13. Include the septic system area in the construction limits for both grading and erosion
and sediment control plans.
STORMWATER
The applicant proposes an infiltration basin east of the parking lot for stormwater management.
14. Grading shall be revised to have a maximum grade of 4:1.
15. Infiltrometer testing to verify the infiltration rate shall be required prior to public
acceptance of the infiltration basin.
16. Soil amendment is required in basins where the infiltration rate is higher than 8.3 inches
per hour.
WSB Engineering reviewed the North 20 Brewing Microbrewery and Taproom grading and
stormwater management plan on behalf of the City. The recommended conditions of approval
are in the attached memo dated April 3, 2020 and have been summarized below:
17. An operations and maintenance plan for the stormwater management features should be
submitted.
18. A NPDES permit shall be obtained prior to the start of construction.
19. The wetland the property discharges to is classified as Preserve in the City’s Wetland
Management Plan. Per the City’s Engineering Guidelines, NURP equivalent treatment
must be provided prior to discharging the wetland.
20. A drainage and utility easement should be placed over the wetland HWL within the
parcel. The HWL of the wetland is 910.1 feet per the City-wide model.
21. Over an acre of disturbance is proposed so a NPDES permit will be required. Applicant
should submit a SWPPP and erosion control plans for review.
22. Basin grading should be updated to have 4:1 side slopes.
23. The infiltration basin HWL should be added to the plans. Per the City’s Engineering
Guidelines, no discharge or infiltration can be assumed when establishing the 100-year,
24-hour storm event high water level.
24. From the City’s GIS system, it appears there is a culvert running west to east under
Bacardi Avenue at the north edge of the parcel. Applicant should verify the presence of
this culvert and include surveyed information on the culvert if verified.
25. It is recommended to pipe the drainage instead of sheet flow to the infiltration basin.
26. Per the City’s Engineering Guidelines, storage of the 100-year, 24-hour storm is required
on site. For events with longer duration, a maximum peak stormwater discharge rate will
be limited to 0.05 cfs/acre.
27. Remove exfiltration from modeling.
28. Per the City’s Engineering Guidelines, 1/12 of an acre-foot/acre/day of infiltration for
the entire site’s acreage must be provided on site. Based on the site being 2.32 acres and
assuming the 0.7 in/hr infiltration rate noted in the drainage report, the required
infiltration area is approximately 2,950 square feet. The proposed infiltration area is only
855 square feet at the bottom.
29. Proposed drainage map includes the northern section that does not drain to the
infiltration basin. Please update the plan set to reflect proposed conditions.
30. Modeling calculations should be updated for the full buildout condition. Currently the
proposed model is not including the impervious from the future expansions of the
parcel.
31. Soil borings should be provided to confirm separation from groundwater/bedrock and
to confirm design infiltration rate.
32. The results for the 10-day snowmelt event should be included in future submittals.
33. The HydroCAD models should be updated to use a MSE3 distribution.
34. Applicant should confirm freeboard requirements are being met when the high water
level has been established after making the required updates. Verification of compliance
will be confirmed in future submittals.
35. The water quality calculations should be updated for the full buildout condition.
Currently the calculations are not including the impervious from the future expansions.
36. Please indicate how all impervious from the roof is led to the infiltration basin. Current
drainage patterns show one half of the roof will discharge to the wetland without
pretreatment.
Should you have any questions or comments regarding the items listed above, please contact me
at 651-322-2015.

The Parks and Recreation Department recently reviewed the plans for the Schmitz Brewery
development. After reviewing the plans, the Parks and Recreation Department staff has the
following comments:
Parks Dedication
The parks dedication requirement for a Commercial development is either a 10% of the total parcel
as land dedication, a cash dedication or combination of the two. Staff is recommending that the City
collect cash in-lieu of land for the development that is currently being processed. The cash
dedication for the 2.63 acre development would be $23,670 (2.63 acres x $9,000 per acre).
Please let me know if you have any questions about this memo.

We live off Biscayne in Eagan and we already have too much traffic driving way too fast. We have lots of kids and
families out walking, dog walking and biking. We have increased traffic from the new homes in Bella Vista off
Bicardi Ave and also the traffic from the gun club and school. We have no sidewalks or paths. We also plan to
contact the City of Eagan about reducing speed limits or adding stop signs or a speed bump to slow down the cars. I
worry about the safety of my children and others on the streets.
There must be a better location already zoned commercial that could accommodate a tap room and microbrewery.

Date:Wednesday, March 18, 2020 1:20:17 PM
Hi Kyle,
I wanted to pass along feedback for this potential establishment. I currently live at
550 Caylin Court. The Biscayne road into Bacardi Road is a dangerous very narrow
road that is on the back side of our property along with many others. Many
kids/adults are on that street and the people that travel that road already drive way
faster than allowed. With the potential in number of vehicles plus to be honest the
number of likely intoxicated drivers could make a dangerous situation happen for an
unsuspecting child or adult on the road.
Thanks

Date:Tuesday, March 31, 2020 4:08:55 PM
Dear Mr. Klatt,
I am totally opposed to the construction of a microbrewery and taproom on the property of 12296 Bacardi Avenue.
I live close to the intersection of Pine Lane and Sycamore Drive a half a block away from 120th St. W. in Eagan.
Construction of this would increase traffic on Biscayne, 120th St. W., Pine Lane and Sycamore Drive.
We have no sidewalks and use these roads for walking, running, biking and walking our pets. Lots of children
present. Very peaceful.
This is like adding a McDonalds right in the middle of a residential neighborhood.
People already rip through our neighborhood using that back road.
Then you mix in alcohol when folks leave this brewery! They will be taking backroads to avoid main roads and
come through our neighborhood.
There are better locations for a microbrewery and taproom.
I am in total opposition.
Thank you for your time.

Kyle,
Our house is along 120th Street West and have concerns about the proposed brew pub. 120th and
Bacardi Ave W are highly trafficked by walkers and bikers from the area each day. Without any sidewalks
or trails along these streets there is very little room for cars and walkers to properly, and safely, coexist.
We are greatly concerned about bringing an establishment which would bring in additional commercial
traffic into this area, especially one whose primary revenue source is to sell and service alcohol. There
are no significant traffic commercial enterprises in the area and we are opposed to bringing in this type of
establishment here.
It would seem a far more logical step to place a commercial establishment such as this in an area already
equipped with the infrastructure and traffic patterns to support it.
Thanks.

Hello Kyle,
We live on the southwest corner of Bacardi and 126th. We wanted to contact you
with some comments and support regarding the proposed brewery. While we are
concerned about extra traffic on the road in front of our home, we know it is going to
be there regardless of brewery or not. We are excited to have something built in
Rosemount that is not residential. We think the brewery would be great for the city as
well as a fun location to come together with our family, neighbors and the community!
We think there are some things you could do with the plans to make it work for all like
adding sidewalks or something. There is a lot of traffic already on Bacardi and as
homes continue to be built around us the traffic will continue to increase. Hopefully
the city can come up with some plans to satisfy the concerns of those of us closest in
proximity to the proposed site while encouraging family owned business growth in
Rosemount.
Please contact us if you'd like to discuss further.
Thanks,
Beth and Dave Olenius

I’m writing to voice by opposition to rezoning the above address. There are only residential homes currently in the
area. We would like to keep it that way for the safety of our children & neighbors who use the street for walking &
biking.
We live on the northern part of Biscayne and have had 7 cars flip upside down on the turn to 120th St. into our
backyard. I feel adding additional traffic would add to these incidents.
One question I have is how can a residential area with only well water and no fire hydrants nearby support a
business?
Thank you,

I am a resident of the area near 12296 Bacardi ave. I wanted to voice my concern about the re-zoning proposal. I am

Subject:Excited for new project: Local Brewery in Rosemount
Date:Thursday, April 9, 2020 4:59:02 PM
Dear Planning Commission Members,
I hope this email finds you and yours very well.
I am excited about something I've been hearing about as a Rosemount resident (I grew up here
and I also moved back here with my own family!)
There are so many reasons to love this town and I don't think everyone knows it or they would
be more interested and also more interested in making the "long hike" to visit 'out in
Rosemount'!
That being said - I think we could add so much to our community as it says on the Rosemount
signs - "Pride and Progress" with the addition of something fun and relaxing, unique to this
area - where people can get away in their backyard so to speak, yet also bring in new business
and grow our community!
I was visiting a friend who lives near Bacardi and was excited to hear about the proposed
brewery on that road. It looks like the brewery is coming up for the planning commission to
review soon.
As a young parent, it would be so nice to have a place we could go and meet up with friends to
visit, try new craft beverages made right here in Rosemount, and possibly play board games,
etc. There are very few places where people can go and socialize in a casual environment
where we would not have to find a baby-sitter for the kids.
Please give this project your strong consideration and support, it would make a lot of
Rosemount citizens very happy!
I think it would do more than we can even imagine in connecting people and what an
awesome way to support local business - by allowing locals to share their time, talents and
energy with other locals in such a neat way.
Thank you for your time!
