NEW BUSINESS 9.a. 21-27-PUD, 21-28-PP Request by Maplewood Development for a Preliminary Plat and PUD Master Development Plan with Rezoning for Amber Fields (UMore Park) Senior Planner Klatt summarized the request received by staff from Maplewood Development for a Preliminary Plat and PUD Master Development Plan and Rezoning for the Amber Fields development within the UMore Park property west of Dakota County Technical College and south of 145th Street East (County State Aid Highway 42). The Planning Commission recommended approval of the application at a previous regular Planning Commission meeting. The proposed project includes 435 acres within the first development area of the UMore Park site owned by the University of Minnesota. The development plans include a mix of low, medium, and high-density residential uses along with a commercial node at the intersection of 145th Street East and Akron Avenue. The project will include just under 2,000 units of housing, the potential for 100,000 square feet of commercial space, a series of parks, open spaces, trails, and a site for a future elementary school. Mr. Klatt showed the illustrations of the plans as well as the proposed future three phases of the development. Representatives from Maplewood Development were present to highlight the proposal as well as answer any questions. Items mentioned; intent to provide screening with trees for the amenity’s areas and neighborhood, still working on the stormwater management plan as the plan needs to be formally reviewed, upcoming discussions regarding the parks plan and the total number of rental homes would be less than 150 units. The developer also noted further discussions are to take place with Dakota County regarding the commercial site access off of Akron Avenue. Councilmember Freske questioned how much of Akron Avenue would be paved for Phase 1 and the Mr. Klatt estimated approximately 700-800 feet would be paved by the county for phase 1; the later extension would be the city’s responsibility. Akron Avenue will not extend to county road 46 at ROSEMOUNT CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING PROCEEDINGS SEPTEMBER 7, 2021 this time and which determined not be a concern at this time based on the county and engineering comments; however, the extension will need to be reviewed with phases 2 & 3. Other items noted; the city would own catch basins and has the maintenance responsibility, the developer wants the parks to be established when the first homes come online, the developer’s vision is to create diversity in housing, the commercial site may be smaller if unsuccessful at filling the current space, Auburn and Akron Avenue are the main access points and if all the current outstanding items are solved the intent is to start grading the northern portion beginning in December.
