The Rosemount Planning Commission on Nov. 25 recommended that the City Council approve a two‑year renewal of Fratellone Companies’ small‑scale mineral extraction interim use permit for 2026 and 2027.

Staff member Julia presented the application, noting the operation was approved by the council in May 2023 and received a one‑year renewal for 2025. ‘‘About a 127,000 cubic yards of material has been extracted’’ at the site in 2025, Julia said, and staff reported no material was imported onto the site during 2025. Julia told the commission the active mining area is about 9.7 acres within a roughly 26‑acre mining boundary on a 78‑acre parcel located south of County Road 42 and west of Emery Avenue.

Julia outlined the applicant’s site plan and reclamation approach and said mining to date has been concentrated in the northern portion of the approved phase 1 area, with plans to continue moving south. Staff also reported contacting the Rosemount Police Department and finding no recorded calls or complaints about the operation in 2024 or 2025 so far.

No members of the public signed up to speak during the public hearing; Commissioner Bednar moved to close the hearing and Commissioner Reid seconded the motion. Commissioner Bugai then moved to recommend city council approval of the 2026–2027 draft conditions; Commissioner Rivera seconded. The motion passed by voice vote.

The item is scheduled to move forward to the City Council at its tentative Dec. 16 meeting.

The recommendation is advisory; final permit approval and any additional conditions will be decided by the City Council at the council hearing.
