AGENDA SECTION:
Public Hearing
PREPARED BY: Anthony Nemcek, Planner AGENDA NO. 5.a.
ATTACHMENTS: Site Location; Lot Split Exhibit APPROVED BY: AK
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to recommend the City Council approve the minor
subdivision to split the southern twenty acres from the greater 80-acre parcel.
SUMMARY
Applicant: City of Rosemount
Property Owner: Flint Hills Resources
PID: 340150075013
Location: East of Akron Avenue and ½ Miles North of Bonaire Path
Area in Acres: 80 Acres
Comp. Guide Plan Designation: Agriculture
Current Zoning: AG-Agriculture
This minor subdivision is being initiated by the City on behalf of Flint Hills Resources to facilitate a land
swap between the City and the Minnesota National Guard. Flint Hills Resources will be donating the
newly created 20-acre parcel to the City which will subsequently exchange that parcel with the Minnesota
National Guard for the northern 20 acres of its property on the west side of Biscayne Avenue. The City
Council and facilities task force has identified the property on Biscayne Avenue as a site for a future public
works/public safety facility. Because the Minnesota National Guard has a policy of maintaining its current
footprint in the metropolitan area, any sale or transfer of property must come with the acquisition of
property in equal area. There is not a project associated with the proposed subdivision, and it is unknown
if the Minnesota National Guard will ever construct anything on the subject parcel east of Akron Avenue.
Any future project would be required to go through the site plan review process and meet the standards
contained within the City Code.
Minor Subdivision
The proposed subdivision will split the southern 20 acres from an 80-acre parcel. The site is within the
AG-Agriculture land use designation and is zoned AG-Agriculture. Lot standards for the AG zoning
district as well as the proposed dimensions of the new 20-acre parcel are shown on the table below. No
new structures are being proposed with this subdivision request. The proposed subdivision meets all the
standards of the City Code.
