Exhibit
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to adopt a resolution approving a minor subdivision to
split the southern twenty acres from the greater eighty-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.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
The Planning Commission held a public hearing during its regular meeting on May 25, 2021 to review the
request and receive public comment. The Planning Commission inquired about the land swap and the
amount of land proposed to be transferred to the City from the Minnesota National Guard. Staff
confirmed that the area of the land north of the Minnesota National Guard facility is twenty acres. No
comments were received from the public, and the Planning Commission voted unanimously to
recommend approval of the minor subdivision.
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.
Standard Required Proposed
Lot Area 2.5 acres 20 acres
Lot Width 300 feet 590 feet
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission and staff recommend approval of the proposed minor subdivision to split the
southern 20 acres from an 80-acre parcel. This recommendation is based on the information contained
within this report.
