Staff reiterated that applicants may withdraw at any time and explained that the withdrawal came after the meeting packet had been published. Councilmembers and staff reviewed the process: the item had proceeded through the planning commission, a work session, and staff review. Several councilmembers thanked the planning commission and city staff for their time and said the process worked as designed.

No council action was taken because the applicant formally withdrew the request. Councilmembers said they appreciated the review and the applicant's interest in Rosemount but noted that, after staff and commission review and council feedback at a work session, the applicant chose to withdraw the application.","A proposed comprehensive‑plan and land‑use amendment affecting roughly 420 acres on Rosemount's east side was withdrawn by the applicant on June 27; the council discussed the process but took no action.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6180391,"Rosemount resident says pollinator garden, chickens and bees drew repeated code citations; council refers case to staff",448,226000,674000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5119492-f0b68a324629b984771eb4c4d2b225ca&start=226&end=674","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5119492-f0b68a324629b984771eb4c4d2b225ca/thumbnail_226000.jpg","/articles/6180391/Rosemount-City/Dakota-County/Minnesota/Rosemount-resident-says-pollinator-garden-chickens-and-bees-drew-repeated-code-citations-council-refers-case-to-staff","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6180391-ab2c3e7a3895ee11de080a47aac2bbd6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771177256&Signature=eCDYSBxCPpI-OAOvRRN1YUT6oUkPCtyAV6vwe8M5TQ7qOz5Y6nsnOUj1mZXSnHK0IJ1ym83PhdmDPdYmu~QoPc7p6BgXERWJAgvaEQ8BX4Cfwo8I43LeMAVL8huuCwo8Z5XfyReQQKDQUSULkV0-zHSfSp4U7maRuOCevveViNefJMl5dht1pSvAkDp8I1ojBe2JDQsuehr3LPPuz-knrSiabNb00GI6atck4lMIMXMzcbPN8VjBZGCarz1kIMZzgVy2U2qpI98CZL0~fVOpwU5EdsvAtnBlCcDkGAktQ5aYSgYYDN-c2b6jcJMFNV~YXFtQ6MoF-Eyny8iEv13IYQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","John Sweber, a Rosemount resident who said he has lived in the city nearly 30 years, used the public comment period on July 1 to describe a series of code-enforcement actions and to request council assistance.

\"I've converted the front lawn to more of pollinator friendly vegetable gardens,\" Sweber said, and then described multiple complaints and a recent official letter listing several alleged infractions. He told the council he has kept chickens \"for 7, 8 years\" and earlier had bees; he said he was unaware of a newly posted permit requirement for bees and that he attempted to apply but the permit process was not active. Sweber said many cited items have since been corrected and that photos taken May 17 showed dead perennials he had not yet cut back for spring, but he believes the attention he has received from the city has been excessive.

Sweber also said neighborhood members and visitors have praised the yard and that groups have toured it as an educational site. He asked the council to inspect the property so the matters could be resolved.

Mayor (presiding officer) said the matter would be referred to staff for follow-up and a response to the resident.

No formal action or decision was taken at the meeting beyond referral to staff for investigation and follow-up.","At the July 1 meeting a longtime Rosemount resident, John Sweber, described repeated code citations after converting his front lawn to pollinator and vegetable gardens, saying he feels singled out; the council referred the matter to staff for follow-up.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6180394,"Council approves vacation of drainage easement at 2201‑20 Sixth Street West",248,1227000,1475000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5119492-f0b68a324629b984771eb4c4d2b225ca&start=1227&end=1475","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5119492-f0b68a324629b984771eb4c4d2b225ca/thumbnail_1227000.jpg","/articles/6180394/Rosemount-City/Dakota-County/Minnesota/Council-approves-vacation-of-drainage-easement-at-220120-Sixth-Street-West","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6180394-51b619d80bde7403260558a88b3b4929/orig.mp4?Expires=1771177256&Signature=GhVmPDonbNOtrwJlAwMODlqG9p0ECVaj3O859ADdRGY8WpE6g~ZnWszfb0n6y7vDj0wj3Z9~ixZktps4aFaj5g0bSIv5QadN-DpCfVC9PZr1eTEEbOeDTACBHyVPYJTT5VFnagHCwMFSFsm3MhK1ywujH9E9X-ChQdo~GQoceV2GdzBOxle6HqGWkFIohVmPa5pggwLSIG89~xBFvo6y9vrp6GzJfOUllWR0oCk-UXEcWeZnv7zRLw-IHfDzeO2uBDDThzVKwyGlTLkpMlHCXT3Dyz~yVXf2-vCfEudy9QM55GN5ZPzFzWcLFomO35-RwPpxA3pXS6BfcE7loSjkyA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Rosemount City Council on July 1 adopted a resolution approving the vacation of a portion of an existing drainage easement at 2201‑20 Sixth Street West, granting the request by a 5-0 vote.

City planning staff, represented by Mr. Keanberger, explained the request followed a building‑permit submittal for a detached garage. Staff said a review found a discrepancy between the recorded plat and a newer survey of the site; a wetland delineation performed for the applicant shifted the boundary where drainage easement was required and showed the proposed garage would fall outside the updated easement area. \"Staff agreed that that easement on their property is no longer needed to maintain that boundary,\" Keanberger said.

The item was presented as a public hearing; no members of the public spoke. Councilmember Esler moved to adopt the resolution approving the easement vacation; Councilmember Klimpel seconded. The motion passed on a 5-0 roll call.

The council's approval allows the applicant to proceed with their building permit application for the detached garage at the address cited, subject to any remaining permit conditions and building-code requirements.","After a wetland delineation shifted the needed drainage boundary, the Rosemount City Council voted 5-0 to vacate a portion of a recorded drainage easement so a property owner may proceed with a detached garage building permit.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6180397,"Rosemount Council clarifies watering‑restriction fines, adopts amendment to 2025 fees",297,895000,1192000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5119492-f0b68a324629b984771eb4c4d2b225ca&start=895&end=1192","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5119492-f0b68a324629b984771eb4c4d2b225ca/thumbnail_895000.jpg","/articles/6180397/Rosemount-City/Dakota-County/Minnesota/Rosemount-Council-clarifies-wateringrestriction-fines-adopts-amendment-to-2025-fees","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6180397-6ce7b46729f2fad9f5574ac1e0d48196/orig.mp4?Expires=1771177256&Signature=XIAgOdXSWLKmWrdYIXplgTC00aLOag2zMfIe~Xje44NAh-Mfn8y-MNK6SNl6na6fNpkgf8wn2CcLw~bT6Oh1bXnIwIdoMo8Av8dp3Y5A8608nBh8~3EYYbSr202UpAmuJQWLmYisxLok61UcG86MThuWRldwqHJgC5kac9nMJ9itivJbwDi76FJwLYMzxbn4DuurV0TP9e4zBcl7ukMzwfThm3xbCpE9tcWilP3v9MgSaSzZn9wtTolMT7~cUvAhn02~NGGjmdmq25CnRcYL3c-S4smsdOHJq0Y9bfAM48jSNg8SpM6VwdCzZNHNJ2Fe8uQE-YF~QdVheiVo0M6ndw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Rosemount City Council on July 1 adopted a resolution amending the city's 2025 schedule of rates and fees to clarify fines for watering and irrigation violations, approving the measure by a 5-0 roll call.

City staff told the council the change is intended to align published fee tables with the fines actually issued, and to support water conservation consistent with guidance from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. \"A first violation is $50, second violation $100,\" a city staff member said during the discussion. The staff member said the amendment makes those amounts explicit and adds stronger enforcement of the existing odd/even schedule and restricted hours (noon to 6 p.m.).

The change follows staff warnings that summer irrigation can dramatically increase demand on Rosemount's water system. The staff member said seasonal use can run three to four times higher than winter levels and that on the hottest days the city may pump \"8 to 9 million gallons a day,\" compared with roughly 2 to 3 million gallons per day in winter. Council members and staff noted that high irrigation demand can reduce margin for emergencies such as large fires.

Councilmember Tyson moved to adopt the resolution; Councilmember Esler seconded. The motion passed on a 5-0 vote.

Council discussion included encouragement for residents to use smart irrigation technology and to follow the odd/even watering schedule already on the books. The staff member said the amendment is intended primarily to provide clarity to residents about fines and to support the city's DNR-related permit obligations for operating the public water supply.

The council did not specify an effective date in the meeting record beyond adoption; staff said they would follow up with final documentation and implementation details.","The Rosemount City Council on July 1 adopted an amendment to the 2025 schedule of rates and fees to clarify fines for irrigation and watering‑restriction violations, citing Minnesota DNR expectations and seasonal pressure on the city water system.","actionData","errors"]
