OLD BUSINESS
PUBLIC HEARINGS
a. Request by Maplewood Development, Inc. for Approval of the Amber Fields 13th
Addition Preliminary Plat.
Planner, Hogan, presented a minor amendment request by Maplewood Development for approval of a
preliminary plat for Amber Fields 13th Addition to create 65 single-family residential lots.
Commissioner Comments:
Commissioner Whitman asked questions regarding the minimum lot size, and how that implicates a
need for a minor amendment versus a major amendment. Planner Hogan explained that the developer
is requesting an amendment for smaller lot areas than what is typically required and there are two
different processes for minor and major amendments. A minor amendment will go to the City Council,
while a major amendment would go to the Planning Commission and the City Council for approval.
Page 2 of 17
Changing the minimum lot area did not qualify as a major amendment. Commissioner Whitman asked if
the Community Development Director had addressed environmental concerns prior to approval of the
Planned Unit Development (PUD) and if the amendment affects this.
Planner Hogan explained that the engineering department reviewed the application materials and did
not have concerns in their review. Planner Hogan went on to explain that the deviation of the lot
requirements would not negatively impact the environment. Chair Kenninger shared that the
amendment applied only to a few lots out of the whole development and expressed caution about
approving more amendments to the Amber Fields development down the line. Commissioner Rivera
asked if setting a minimum number of lots with certain footage would resolve the need for the
amendment requests. Planner Hogan stated that developers are planning smaller residential lots, hence
why these amendment requests are becoming more frequent.
Commissioner Whitman asked for clarification on landscaping. Planner Hogan stated that developers
are required to do the minimum landscaping per city code and to replace any torn-down trees.
No public comments.

Senior Planner, Nemcek, presented the request to review the site plan for a new building on a site that
has received a conditional use permit for a place of worship.
Page 3 of 17
Commissioner Comments:
Commissioner Rivera asked what the capacity of the site was prior to the proposed site, with a capacity of
248. Senior Planner Nemcek explained that the original capacity amount is unknown, but the maximum
capacity guided the number for the site plan review. The proposed building would be 40 by 85 feet,
totaling to 3400 square feet.
Commissioner Rivera asked if the lot is zoned residential since there is a residence on the lot, if the use
is permitted by the zoning, and if parking space was going to be adequate. Senior Planner Nemcek
explained that places of worship are a conditional use permitted under R-1 zoning and confirmed on-
street parking is not permitted on Bonaire Path, and the site will have 83 parking stalls, which will be
more than needed for the site's intended use. Senior Planner Nemcek also noted it is up to the city
staff's discretion to require proof of parking from the owners if a complaint, change or increased use
occurs. If the gravel becomes regularly parked, the city will consider requiring proof of additional paved
parking.
Commissioner Powell asked what type of approval the owner is seeking from the Commissioners.
Commissioner Powell also asked if credit is given to existing trees onsite for tree count, if existing trees
onsite would be included in the total tree count, and if any of the proposed trees were Ash. Senior
Planner Nemcek clarified the Commissioners would be approving additional conditions paired with the
originally approved Conditional Use Permit (CUP). He also noted that existing trees do count towards
the total tree count and that the number of existing trees that are Ash is unknown but will get taken
down if there are any.
Commissioner Whitman expressed that the exterior fiber cement siding meets the aesthetic facade
requirements. In addition, Commissioner Whitman asked what the longevity was of the exterior
material compared to natural rock and stone. Senior Planner Nemcek shared that the material is
requested more frequently on a regular basis by other developers and that it is reflective of modern
construction materials and techniques. Commissioner Thiagarajan asked what the planned color of the
exterior would be. Senior Planner Nemcek referred to the applicant's architect as for material specifics
and color, since color is not regulated within the City's Code.
Commissioner Hebert asked if the existing structures would remain or get demolished. Senior Planner
Nemcek stated that it is understood that the existing structures will remain.
Chair Kenninger asked how the credit for trees was calculated and asked for clarification if adding a
condition of no on-street parking was something to consider with parking stall counts. Senior Planner
Nemcek explained that tree count is calculated by Caliper inches in new and preexisting trees. He also
noted that since parking is clearly prohibited on Bonaire Path and Bacardi Avenue, it is not a concern for
city staff. Chair Kenninger shared concern if parking needs would be stressed or cause complications
down the line due to increased use, changed use, etc. Commissioner Whitman commented that the
parking and site conditions are reasonable given the use.
Muhammad Shahzad
14250 Ailesbury Ct, Rosemount, MN 55068
Shahzad is a member, not an applicant, of the Al Madina Association. Shahzad stated that parking is not
a concern since their growth from 25 members 12 years ago to under 40 members currently.
Chair Kenninger asked about what the color of the exterior would be. Shahzad explained that no colors
have been selected yet, but it will be a neutral color and not a flashy nor bright color. Shahzad also
Page 4 of 17
explained that they are open to changing the exterior color if it is deemed inadequate.
Chair Kenninger asked if the existing home was to remain. Shahzad notes that the existing home would
stay and there would be no removal of any large existing structures onsite.
Commissioner Whitman asked if fiber cement siding has a shorter lifespan than rock and stone. Shahzad
explained they were not given the difference in life spans between fiber cement siding compared to
rock/stone. Shahzad then stated the exterior material was more cost-effective and long-lasting.
Commissioner Powell appreciated the parking conditions and did not recommend an alteration to them.
Motion by Kenninger Second by Powell
Motion to close the public hearing
Ayes: 6.
Nays: None. Motion Carried.
Motion by Powell Second by Hebert
Motion to approve the site plan of the proposed place of worship for Al Madina Association,
subject to the following conditions:
1. The applicant shall update the site plan to eliminate parking within the required 30’
buffer yard along the western portion of the site adjacent to a residential use.
2. The landscape plan shall be updated to provide evergreens within the buffer yard
along the western property line.
3. The driveway and parking areas shall be paved with an approved surface.

Page 5 of 17
Chair Kenninger confirmed the next meetings for October 24th, November 28th, and December
18th. The meeting on December 18th is a Monday, meaning it is a special meeting.
Commissioner Powell is unable to make it on December 18th, and the date may be subject to
rescheduling to ensure a quorum. Chair Kenninger also reminded commissioners that if there
are questions on agenda items to send those in ahead of time. Thus, planners can research and
answer any questions. It was noted to send any questions to the planner who put together the
item and to copy Community Development Director Kienberger in case of illness. It was verified
that emails are a public record between city staff and the Commissioners.

BACKGROUND
Applicant: SKB Environmental
Location: 13625 Courthouse Boulevard
Site Area: 75.60
Existing Comp Plan Designation: WM-Waste Management and BP-Business Park
Existing Zoning: WM PUD-Waste Management Planned Unit Development and
AG-Agriculture
The Planning Commission is being asked to consider a request by SKB Environmental for approval of
the SKB ROSEMOUNT 2nd Addition final plat. The Plat area contains the land that will encompass the
expansion of SKB’s landfill that was approved in 2022. It also includes the right of way for a future road
connecting Ehlers Path and Courthouse Boulevard and an outlot along the eastern plat boundary that
is anticipated to eventually be developed with the land east of the site. The final plat is generally
consistent with the preliminary plat that was approved except for changes to the alignment of the
north/south roadway, namely the shifting of the access onto Courthouse Boulevard to the east to
straighten the roadway. A previous alignment had located the access further west, but the turning
movements would not work for the type of truck traffic that will be using the road. Staff is
Page 7 of 17
recommending approval of the final plat, subject to the conditions listed in the recommended action.
CONTEXT
The landfill operation to the west of the plat area has been in operation since 1992. The current
owner, SKB Environmental, acquired the landfill in 2000 and over the years has received approvals to
gradually expand the operation since it took ownership. Most recently, in 2022, the applicant received
approval to further expand the landfill operation, subject to certain conditions such as the construction
of a public road running north and south to connect Ehlers Path with Courthouse Boulevard. Staff
recommended that condition of approval to create a permanent barrier against any further expansion
eastward, thus preserving the land closest to the intersection of Courthouse Boulevard/Highway 55
and County Road 42 for commercial and business park development. The applicant is working toward
meeting the conditions of the 2022 approval, which included a preliminary plat, and the applicant’s
latest step is to get approval of the final plat.
The expansion plan also includes new buildings to be constructed that will replace existing buildings in
the northern portion of the landfill site. In addition to the final plat approval currently being
requested, SKB will also need site plan approval for the new buildings that are proposed. SKB is
working with the MPCA to complete the necessary reviews to allow Dakota County to issue the
necessary permits for the expansion of the land fill. Once the new public road is constructed, the
existing access to Courthouse Boulevard will be removed, and primary access into the site will be made
from the new road.
ISSUE ANALYSIS
Legal Authority. Final Plat approval is a quasi-judicial action because the City has a set of standards
and requirements for reviewing this type of application. Generally, if the final plat meets the ordinance
requirements, it must be approved.
Land Use and Zoning. The subject property is guided on the western portion of the site for WM-Waste
Management and to the east BP-Business Park. The area guided WM is also zoned WM PUD-Waste
Management Planned Unit Development. The planned unit development agreement that covers
development of the site was approved in 2018 when SKB was planning on developing a metals
recycling facility on Lot 1 Block one of the proposed plat. Their plans have since changed, and the only
relevant provision in the agreement is the ability to construct multiple buildings on a single parcel. The
proposed plat is compliant with the PUD Master Development Plan.
The eastern portion of the plat area still retains its AG-Agriculture zoning, which is consistent with the
City’s practice of waiting until land develops before rezoning it into conformance with the City Code.
Plat. The proposed plat shows two parcels, one that will contain the expansion area of the SKB landfill
and an outlot that is anticipated to be combined and developed with the land east of the site.
Separating the two parcels is right of way for the new public road that will provide access to the site
upon its completion. The plat is consistent with the preliminary plat approved in 2022. Any differences
from the preliminary plat are a result of conditions of approval of the preliminary plat, specifically the
realignment of the new public road.
Page 8 of 17
Parks and Open Space. Parks and Recreation staff reviewed the proposed plat and provided the
attached memorandum. Staff is recommending the City collect cash-in-lieu of park land dedication.
The City Code requires a dedication equal to 10% of the land being developed, which in this case is 5.6
acres based on the 56-acre area of Lot 1 Block 1. The fee is based on a price of $50,000/acre, so in this
case that amounts to $280,000. When Outlot A is developed in conjunction with land east of the plat
area, it will be included in the park dedication calculation for development in that area.
The Parks and Recreation staff is also recommending a condition of approval that requires SKB to
provide a 30’ easement along the south side of the property adjacent to Ehlers Path to accommodate a
future regional trail that will connect the City’s trail system to the Mississippi River trail at Spring Lake
Park.
Engineering Comments. Engineering staff reviewed the preliminary plat in 2022, and comments
provided then were focused on the utilities to be constructed on the site along with the new public
road. Those comments remain relevant as SKB is working toward the start of the expansion project,
and development of the site shall comply with the requirements of the City’s engineer. In addition to
compliance with the requirements of the City Engineer, execution of a subdivision agreement that
spells out developer responsibilities is included in the conditions of approval being recommended by
staff.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff finds the proposed final plat to be consistent with the preliminary plat approved by the City in
2022 and recommends approval, subject to conditions listed in the recommended action.

From:Dan Schultz, Parks and Recreation Director
Date:October 18, 2023
Subject:SKB Final Plat
The Parks and Recreation Department recently received the plans for the Final Plat from SKB.
After reviewing the plans, the Parks and Recreation Department staff has the following comments:
Parks Dedication
Staff is recommending that the City collect cash in-lieu of land to satisfy the park dedication
requirement for the development. The dedication requirement for industrial development is 10% of
the site being developed. Lot1 block 1 of the SKB project is 56.42 acres in size, thus the parks
dedication would be based on 5.6 acres of land multiplied by the per acre fee of $50,000 or the fee at
the time of final plat. The current cash dedication requirement would be $280,000 (5.6 acres
multiplied by $50,000).
Regional Trail
Staff is recommending that the developer provide the necessary space for the Rosemount
Greenway/Regional Trail by providing for a thirty-foot regional trail easement on the south side of
the property adjacent to Ehlers Path.
Please let know if you have any questions about this memo.

Preliminary Plat Review
Preliminary Site Construction Plan Review
WSB File No 0018532-000
SUBMITTAL:
A Preliminary Plat and Preliminary Site Construction Plan for SKB Rosemount 2nd Addition have
been submitted. The plat is located south of TH 55, north of Ehlers Path and west of CSAH 42.
The Second Addition is adjacent and east of SKB Rosemount, the solid waste facility. The
submittal was prepared by Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. of Golden Valley, MN for SKB
Environmental. Engineering review comments were generated from the following plat documents
dated 04-11-2022, consisting of:
▪ Existing Conditions
▪ Site Plan
▪ Grading Plan
▪ Utility Plan
▪ Landscape Plan
EXISTING CONDITIONS:
The parent parcels of SKB Environmental 2nd Addition consists of Outlot A, SKB Environmental,
Lot 1, Block 1 Pine Bend Development Corporation and a metes and bounds parcel. The lands
current use is Agricultural land and a forested area. SKB Environmental 2nd Addition is an
expansion to the east of the sold waste landfill. The platted area is 75.6 acres.
PRELIMINARY PLAT AND SITE PLAN
SKB Environmental 2nd Addition consists of one lot and one outlot. The platted lot
contains the landfill expansion and industrial buildings proposed for the processing of solid waste.
The outlot is for future development of a business park. The proposed plat includes the extension
of one public street between Ehlers Path and Trunk Highway 55. This city street will provide
direct access to the landfill and the processing buildings. The proposed plat also provides a 50-
foot wide ½ right of way for the north half of Ehlers Path.
The preliminary plans identify the construction of the southerly portion of the proposed city street
routing traffic to the site from TH 55 to CSAH 42 to 142nd Street/Ehlers Path to the new city street
and then into the site. The utilization of 142nd Street and Ehlers Path for access and egress will

destroy the existing pavement as the current pavement is not adequate to accommodate heavy
truck traffic. The proposed city street is shown to have right of way dedication from Ehlers Path
to TH 55 but only the southerly portion is identified to be constructed at this time. The northerly
right of way alignment has a sharp curve immediately south of its intersection with TH 55. The
minimum street centerline radius must be increased to 300 feet.
Access to the site extends from the proposed city street located along the easterly plat boundary.
Upon accessing the site there is a 1,600-foot driveway extending up to scales and the proposed
office building. From the scales the truck traffic would continue west approximately 800 feet to
access the landfill areas and proposed processing buildings. Egress from the site is identified to
continue west utilizing the existing driveway that extends from TH 55. Egress can also be
accomplished utilizing the same route as for accessing the area.
Four buildings are proposed on the site. An office building, maintenance building, gem ash
building and recycling building. The buildings are located on the north side of the plat adjacent to
TH 55. The private driveway provides access and egress to each of the buildings.
The existing buildings serving the existing landfill area will be removed.
Outlot A, SKB Environmental 2nd Addition is located on the east side of the proposed city street
and will be provided access and egress from the proposed street.
1. The development Fees are indicated below based on the 2022 Schedule of Rates and
Fees. Fees are due with the final plat and subdivision (development) agreement.
▪ Watermain Trunk Charge: $6,500/acre
▪ Storm Sewer Trunk Charge: $6,865/ net developable acre
2. The proposed future street extending from TH 55 must have a minimum 300-foot
centerline radius. Revise the street centerline or straighten the road.
3. The proposed access and egress from the site will utilize Ehlers Path between the
proposed street and CSAH 42. Ehlers Path does not have pavement structure adequate
to support heavy truck traffic.
4. Remove the existing driveway approach and culvert from the TH 55 right-of-way for the
existing residential property where the recycling building is proposed.
5. Verify that the proposed driveway from the future City street will accommodate truck
turning radii.
6. The pavement extending around the buildings must be more than 20 feet from the
building for fire equipment access and operations.
7. The right-of-way width for the city street must be shown on the site plan. The minimum
width for a rural section street is 100-feet.
GRADING AND DRAINAGE
Development of the landfill creates a 160-foot-tall berm that parallels TH 55. Site grading and
drainage north of the berm splits at the proposed office building. East of the building runoff flows
to the east/southeast along the north side of the driveway. This drainage way collects runoff from
the proposed office building, parking lot and driveway and is routed through 4 ponding and
infiltration areas. Runoff from west of the office building flows to the west through a series of
ponds and infiltration areas to an existing infiltration basin. Drainage within the landfill area is
collected by an underground tile system and pumped to a wastewater treatment facility.
A 6-foot-tall berm is located between the drive isle and the private property to the north.
8. FES 108 to FES 109 does not have cover over the pipe.
9. Fes 106 to FES 105 does not have cover over the pipe.
10. There are several drainage arrows that conflict with each other.
11. Provide a plan and profile view of the city street between TH 55 and Ehlers Path.

12. The ponding area in the southeast corner of the plat will flood across Ehlers Path before
water elevations reach the culvert elevation of FES 103.
13. Outlet FES must have riprap erosion protection extended to the bottom of the ponding
basin.
SANITARY SEWER AND WATERMAIN
Sanitary sewer service for the site is provided utilizing an on-site septic tank and drain field
system. The system design will be reviewed by the building official at the time of building permit
application. City sanitary sewer is not extended to the site, ultimately public sanitary sewer would
extend from the north/northeast to the office building area. The landfill will slightly alter the Cities
Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan in that a proposed trunk line will be moved to the east to
serve property east of SKB Environmental Second Addition.
Water service to SKB Environmental Second Addition will be provided by extending an existing
16-inch trunk watermain east along the north side of TH 55 to the proposed future street. The 16-
inch trunk watermain must then be extended south within the future city street to Ehlers Path.
Water service to the site is provide from a looped water line that extends between the 16-inch
trunk watermain.
14. The watermain extension along TH 55 and within the future City street is 16 inch.
