ASSESSOR’S OPENING STATEMENT
Nelson reported that the goal of the Local Board of Appeal and Equalization is the review the
2018 assessment for taxes due and payable in 2019. The board does not have the authority to
open any prior year’s assessment for taxes due and payable in 2018. The board also does not
have the authority to grant an exemption or to order property to be removed from the tax rolls.
Nelson indicated at least a quorum of the board must be present at the meeting with at least one
trained and certified member. He alsoindicated State law requires the assessor to value property
at 100% market value; however Minnesota Statutes allow the assessor to within a range of 90%
to 105% if market value.
Nelson reported that overall in Wright County, residential value increased 7.36%, apartments by
5.48%, and commercial for 3.19%. There was a total of $22 million in new construction
completed. He stated the sales ratio for qualified sales (non-foreclosure properties) was 92.26%.
Vetsch stated if they fall below 90%, the State of Minnesota will address the value. Rasmuson
stated that comparable sales data can be found on Wright County Beacon website.
Hudson inquired about the process used to evaluate market value and Nelson replied that
assessors use amass appraisal approachusing comparable sales data in similar neighborhoods.
Arradizadeh, 6750 LaSalle Circle NE, inquired how the City knows if improvements are made
to properties and Nelson replied that he looks at building permits. Rasmuson also stated that they
verify through sketches.

Nielson, 6753 LaSalle Circle NE, inquired why their value increased so much. Nelson
responded that the home had more square feet and the building materials were a higher grade.
He clarified that he is looking only at market valuation and not tax rates. Tax rates are set by the
county, city, and school district. His role is to make a recommendation on market valuation to
the board, but the board ultimately will make the decision whether to lower the valuation or not.
th
Merila, 11701 54Street NE, stated that she had difficulty refinancing her home as the appraisal
didn’t come in at what the market valuation was at.
Rasmuson informed the board and audience that the homestead credit also goes down as
valuation goes up.
Nafstad inquired if it was possible for the Assessor’s office staff to review the properties of the
persons present and reconvene. Rasmuson indicated that a reconvention of the meeting would
need to be done by May 2. Nafstad suggested possibly April 30 after the Joint Governance
meeting.

A.2017 Audit Presentation – ABDO, Andy Berg
Berg presented the results of the 2017 audit and said the city received a clean opinion from the firm.
He stated there is still a concern regarding the limited segregation of duties, but that is common for
cities of the thissize. He reported there was one finding regarding credit cards. He stated that all
receipts from online credit card purchases must be submitted in a timely manner, but staff has
already addressed the issue and implemented credit card processesinternally.
Berg reported that the water and sewer fund receipts are higher than expenditures, including debt.
The stormwater fund revenue does not cover debt. The recycling fund essentially breaks even.
Vetsch inquired of Berg if he observed anything unusual during the audit process. Berg replied that
the city has a good capital outlay plan. The enterprise funds have improved after a software error
was corrected. The Prairie Run fund has improved with the increased lot sales. There is also a
healthy general fund balance.
Olson asked is the city is sitting well with utility rates where they are and Lannesrepliedthey are.
The disbursements from those funds will only decrease as debt is paid off.

C.Planning/Zoning
1).Planner’s Update
th
Couri explained he attended the last Planning Commission meeting when the Karston Cove 5
Addition development was presented. The homeowners association (HOA) for the original Karston
Cove developments was present and voiced their concern with the proposed plan. He stated that the
Planning Commission recommended denial of the application. However, it will be presented to the
Council at a future meeting and it is the Council’s discretion whether they approve or deny the
application. The City Planner will prepare two findings of fact for both approval and denial for the
Council to consider. Couri explained the HOA prefers the original concept from approximately ten
th
years ago. When the Karston Cove 4 Addition was platted back to an outlot, the city reserved the
right to require any new homes to join the HOA. For that to happen, he stated the HOA must modify
their covenants prior to the final plat.
Vetsch would like to see a one-time payment made to the HOA from the developer and call it good.
Nafstad explained the developer has been trying and has held a public meeting for the neighborhood.
Cocking stated he could see both sides. He stated it seems as good a plan as presented and was
hesitant to wait for concepts that may not even be brought forward. He felt the Planning
Commission’s recommendation was based on planning and zoning merits.
Nafstad inquired if the Council was interested in holding a workshop before the application is
formally presented to Council. Hudson felt that the presentation would cover the same as a
workshop; Council decided not to hold a workshop. Cocking would like to see the attorneys for both
sides present their case.

BACKGROUND:
In 2004, the City of Albertville approved Karston Cove CUP/PUD and plat that included 14

thth
64 Street have been developed and sold to individual homeowners. The 29 lots south of 64

October 31, 2010 to complete all public improvements and all private on-site improvements to
develop the property. The developer went bankrupt in 2010 and never installed the required
improvements. The City drew on the developer’s letter of credit and is holding the money for
the improvements. In 2011 Centra Homes purchased the 29 undeveloped lots and the rights to
the letter of credit money from the bankrupt developer.
In investigating the sites physical conditions i.e. wetlands, wetland buffers, and water table the
applicant found that the original townhome development was not practical in its original design.
They also stated that the townhome housing has become less popular within the current housing
market.

In 2016, the applicant has requested a final plat (Karston Cove 4 Addition) that vacated of the

Karston Cove 3 Addition final plat south 64 Street to create an outlot for future development.
Centra Homes also submitted a concept plan to change the land use for the property from
townhomes to single family lots. Upon the review of the request by the planning commission;

Centra Albertville LLC has now file development applications to subdivide the Karston Cove 4
Addition outlot into 8 single family lots. To accommodate this development they have requested
the following applications.
1.Zoning Map Amendment. The property is currently zoned R-5 Medium Density
Residential District. This district does not list single family homes as an allowed use. To
allow the single family use and to provide some design flexibilities in the plat layout, the
applicant has requested a zoning change to PUD Planned Unit Development district.
2.Preliminary Plat. To facilitate the subdivision of the land in to 8 lots the applicant has
requested a preliminary plat.
On April 10, 2018 the Albertville Planning Commission met and held a public hearing to
consider the aforementioned applications of Centra Albertville LLC. Upon consideration of the
application materials, the City Staff Reports and public testimony the Planning commission
Recommend that both the Rezoning and preliminary plat be denied, finding that the uses was not
consistent with the City’s comprehensive plan, incompatible with the surrounding land uses.
.
The findings are outlined in the Exhibit A resolution
KEY ISSUES:
The current R-5 zoning district does not allow for single family homes requiring a
change in zoning to PUD district.
The PUD district is required to allow for the single family homes and to allow for design
flexibilities relate to lot area, lot width, lot configuration and setbacks to accommodate
the plat design of 8 single family lots.
The application will introduce single family uses into an area surrounded by townhomes.
The dwelling unit type and density (3.94 units per acre) are not consistent with the
Medium Density land use guided for the site.
The proposed plat design attempts to work within the buildable area of the outlot
preserving the existing wetlands and establishing wetland buffers.
Applicant does not believe townhomes fit the Albertville market.
The existing Karston Cove Townhome HOA will be impacted by the loss of potential
membership if the outlot is developed as single family units. The HOA must amend its
documents to allow the inclusion of additional real estate into the current HOA>
The utility plan shows multiple street cuts to provide utility service lines into the single
family lots. This will impact the street conditions.

RE:Karston Cove 5Addition Rezoning / Preliminary Plat
FILE NO:163.06 18.03
BACKGROUND:
In 2004, the City of Albertville approved Karston Cove CUP/PUD and plat that included
thth
14 townhome lots north of 64Street and 29 lots south of 64Street. This
development was covered within the Karston Cove final plat and a planned unit
development agreement that outlined development requirements for this townhome
th
subdivision. The 14 townhomes north of 64Street have been developed and sold to
th
individual homeowners. The 29 lots south of 64Street, while final platted, remain
undeveloped.
In 2009, the City and developer amended the development agreement giving the
developer until October 31, 2010 to complete all public improvements and all private on-
site improvements to develop the property. The developer went bankrupt in 2010 and
never installed the required improvements. The City drew on the developer’s letter of
credit and is holding the money for the improvements. In 2011 Centra Homes
purchased the 29 undeveloped lots and the rights to the letter of credit money from the
bankrupt developer.
In investigating the sites physical conditions i.e. wetlands, wetland buffers, and water
table the applicant found that the original townhome development was not practical in its
original design. They also stated that the townhome housing has become less popular
within the current housing market.

In 2016,the applicant has requested a final plat (Karston Cove 4Addition) that
rdth
vacatedof the Karston Cove 3
Addition final plat south 64Street to create an outlot
for futuredevelopment. Centra Homes also submitted a concept plan to change the
land use for the property from townhomes to single family lots. Upon the review of the
request bythe planning commission; the Albertville City Council approved the Karston
th
Cove 4Addition with the following conditions:
The City retains the option to require the future development on Outlot A Karston
1.
th
Cove 4Addition to join with the existing Karston Cove HOA on the north side of
th
64Street through a revised PUD development agreement to be recorded
against the Outlot A property with the future final plat. Notwithstanding this
reservation of rights, the Cityacknowledges that it may not impose any obligation
on the developer to add the future lots to the existing Karston Cove HOA unless
the Declaration establishing the HOA has been modified, on or before the time of
final plat approval, to allow for the addition of the Outlot A land to the
Homeowner’s Association.
2.The City finds that the drainage and utility easements dedicated on the Karston
rd
Cove 3Addition plat (but excluding those easements dedicated on the first plat
of Karston Cove) areno longer needed for public purposes and that it is in the
interest of the public to vacate said drainage and utility easements.
3.The City vacates the drainage and utility easements shown on the Karston Cove

drainage and utility easements all drainage and utility easements originally
dedicated on the first plat of Karston Cove Said easements shall be subject to
the review and approval of the City Engineer prior to recording the final plat. The
vacation of said easements shall be effective upon the recording of the Karston
th
Cove 4Addition plat.

4.The City approves the preliminary and final plat of Karston Cove 4Addition,
subject to the conditions set forth in the City Planner’s report dated September 8,
2016, including execution of a development agreement as set forth below.
5.The Developer shall be required to install sidewalk per approved plans,
boulevard grading and restoration to a turf condition by June 30, 2017 as a
condition of final plat approval, unless Developer submits a completed
preliminary plat application for the site by June 30, 2017, in which case the June
30, 2017 installation date shall be automatically extended to June 30, 2018.
6.The applicant enters into a development agreement with the City that includes
the aforementioned conditions of approval, addresses the issues identified in the
RCA for this matter, and meets the approval of the City Attorney. The
development agreement shallbe recorded against the property with the final plat.

to Karston Cove 3Addition and Karston Cove 4Addition. The City Engineer
shall determine the amount of escrow to be held for the installation of such items
and the City Finance Director shall determine the remaining amount of escrow to

Centra Albertville LLC has now file development applications to subdivide the Karston
th
Cove 4Addition outlot into 8 single family lots. To accommodate this development
theyhave requested the following applications.
1.Zoning Map Amendment. The property is currently zoned R-5 Medium Density
Residential District. This district does not list single family homes as an allowed
use. To allow the single family use and to provide some design flexibilities in the
plat layout, the applicanthas requested a zoning change to PUD Planned Unit
Development district.

ANALYSIS
Planned Unit Development Zoning Amendment:
The proposed development does not fit the current R-5 zoning district which does not
allow single family homes as a use. The applicant has requested a change in the site
zoning to PUD District. This district will allow single family homes and will a permit
certain design flexibilities to accommodatethe preliminary plat design. The design
flexibilities will include lot widths and setback standards.
In consideration of any change of zoning the following criteria as set out in Section 300
of the Albertville Zoning Code that are to be considered by the Planning Commission
and City Council.
3
Agenda Page 32
1. The proposed actionhasbeen considered in relation to the specific policies and
provisions of and has be found to be consistent with the official City comprehensive
Plan
Comment: The Albertville Vision Study guides this area of the city for medium density
residential land use, which is defined as 5 to 10 units per acre. The applicant’s plat
produces a density of3.94 units per acre. This is slightly below the medium density
land use description, however, the plat design is in response to the physical conditions
specific to the site including: wetlands, drainage patterns and high water tables which
complicate building design, site access, and lot patterns.
The plat design is consistent with Comprehensive plan policies that promote housing
diversity and the need to integrate subdivision design with the natural features of the
property and the need to control and manage stormwater drainage.
2 The proposeduse is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of the
area.
Comment: The introduction of single family homes into this site brings a different
housing styleinto this area of the city. This lowerdensity will not create conflicts with
the surrounding townhome neighborhoods.
3. The proposed use conforms with all the performance standards of the Albertville
zoning district.
Comment: The plat design is unique to the site and the applicant is requesting PUD
zoning to allow some design flexibilities to fit the plat within the physical features of the
site. The requested flexibilities include lotarea,width, configuration and setbacks
within the plat.The plat design will be addressed in greater detail in the preliminary plat
review.
4. Theproposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate theareain which it is
proposed.
Comment: The applicant has submitted house plans to the home to be constructed with
in the proposed plat. These plans provide a 2380 sq. ft., four bedroom home with a
threecar garage, and variable front facades. The value of these homes will exceed the
values of the adjoin townhome units.
This property was originally intended to be part of the Karston Cove Townhome
th
Association along with the 14 existing townhomes to the north of 64Street. Concern
exists regarding the financial viability of the 14member HOA. As part of the 2016
th
approval of the Karston Cove 4Addition the city retained the option tohave the future
development of this outlot join the existing HOA. This issue is discussedlater in this
report.
4
Agenda Page 33
5. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not
overburden the city’s service capacity.
Comment: The proposed use reduces the density from the original development. The
current proposal will not overburden city services or utilities.
6. Trafficgeneration from the proposed development is within the capabilities of the
streets serving the property
Comment: The traffic generation from 8 lots will not overburden the adjoining streets.
Preliminary Plat:
th
Outlot A Karston Cove 4Addition is 3.92 grossacres in area. The site contains a
number of wetlands and a Drainage way that serves the site and properties to the north.
High water tables present issues for the site constructionwith regard to basements,
crawl spacesand first floor openings. The applicant is proposing an eight lot single
family subdivision with house placements that take advantage of the buildable land
within the outlot. They have request the PUD zoning to allow the single family use and
allow some design flexibilities relateto lot width, lot configuration and setbacks to fit the
development into the property.
Outlots:
The plat proposesoutlot A over wetland and drainage area in the southern
portion ofthe plat. This 70,879 sq. ft. outlot includes the required wetland buffer yards
and will be dedicated to the city. Platted as an outlot and dedicated to the city helps to
keep adjoining property ownersfrom mowing or altering the wetland and its buffer area.
The applicantwill be required to establish wetland demarcation posts at the rear yard of
each lot todefine the edge of the outlot to prevent trespass or alteration of the wetland
buffer.
A wetland is located within Lots 2 and 3 Block 1, this wetland is covered by an
easement. In staff review, we are recommending that this wetland and its buffer be
platted as an outlot and dedicated to the city. This dedication will not reduce the
buildable area of the lots, but will provide added protections to the wetland and its
buffer. In creating the outlot, the applicant can vary the buffer width to be sure that
these lots have sufficient width to provide a driveway with proper setback from the
adjoining lot. The dedication of this outlot will significantly changes the configuration
and width of Lots 2 and 3, the new configurationmay be allowed as a PUD flexibility.
Lots:
The applicant is requesting a PUD zoning district to accommodate the proposed
subdivision. The proposed lots do not fit Albertville’s standard single family residential
district with regard to lot area, widthand setback. Requiring the wetland in lots 2 and 3
to be platted as an outlot results in the following lot dimensions.

5 10,781 65
6 10,227 65
7 10,238 65
8 11,128 65
PUD flexibility is required for the reduced lot area, widths and lot configurations of lots 2,
3 and 4. The lot and plat design is responsive to the natural features of the site and the
staff recommendation to plat the wetland in lot 2 and 3 as an outlot. Although PUD
flexibilityis needed each of the resulting lots still provide building site for a substantial
single family home with a three car garage. Staff can support this plat design.
Setbacks:
The Plat illustrates the following minimum setbacks.
Front yard: 30 feet
Side yard house:10 feet
Side yard garage:5 feet
Rear yard: 25 feet
The attached site plan (exhibit D) shows that each home will meet these setbacks.
However, the site plan illustrates the home sites being staggered with variable front yard
setbacks. This house placement provides an attractive street appearance, good access
and driveway design, with adequate separation from the proposed wetland buffers.
Staff recommends that the in exchange for the PUD flexibility for lot widths and area the
applicant adhere to the proposed front yard setbacks as illustrated in the approved site
plan. This would impose front yard setbacks for the plat ranging from 45 to 115 feet.
With the increased front yard setbacks the proposed side yard (10/5 feet) and the rear
yard (25 feet) are acceptable.
Applicant shall provide a lot by lot listof setbacks to the city for reference and
application to the building permits as they are processed.
Housing Styles:
The applicant has provided a building model that will fit the proposed
lots. This is a slab on grade, four bedroom home with 2380 sq. ft. of living space and 3
car garage. The house offers three different facades to provide a variable appearance
between homes. As part of the PUD approval the city will require that this home model
be constructed within this plat. Any change in house model will require city approval.

Agenda Page 35
Easements:
The Plat illustrates that proper drainage and utility easements along the
property lines and over the established wetlands, wetland buffers and drainage ways.
th
Utilities:
The site plan illustratesthe location of utility service into each lot from 64
Street. The City Engineer shall comment on the utility plan and street restoration.
All water service valves shall be located outside of driveways to avoid future potential
damage.
Grading and Drainage
: The subdivision’s grading, drainage and building pad
elevations shall be subject to the review and recommendations of the City Engineer.
Landscaping:
The following landscape requirements shall apply to new subdivisions;
1.All lots shall have yard areas sodded or seeded to establish ground cover
within 30 days of building occupancy. Front yards must be sodded. Rear
and side yard may be seeded.
2.The Developer is required to plant one shade tree or evergreen treeper lot
that meet the City’s standard for species and size.
3.The plat shall provide a fence or landscape screening along the east lot line
of 8 Block 1 to screen the parking lot within the park. This screening
rd

CONCLUSION:
Centra Albertville LLC. Has requested consideration of the two development
applications; rezoning of the site from R-5 to PUD to allow for the single family
subdivision and the preliminary plat.
Rezoning:
Any land use or zoning change is a policy decision of the planning
commission and city council. The proposed development site has development
constraints (wetlands, high water table and drainage) that complicate site development
and made the original townhome PUD impracticalto construct. The current request
moves away from the townhome dwellings and attempts to fit the single family lots with
the buildable portions of the site. The planning commission and council must make the
determination that the change in use is appropriate for the site. The reduced density
will not overburden the city services, utilities, or streets. The proposed housing units will
be of a value and design that will not depreciate surrounding properties or create a
negative impact on the neighborhood.
If the planning commission finds that the proposed single family subdivision is
appropriate for the site, a recommendation to approve of the rezoning should be
forwarded to the City Council.
Preliminary Plat /PUD:
If the rezoning is approved staff would recommend that the preliminary plat / PUD be
approved with the following conditions.
1.The wetland and its buffer area be platted as an outlot and dedicatedalong
with outlot Ato the City. The developershall install wetland buffer
demarcation signs along the outlot boundaries to avoid trespass or alteration
of the wetland buffers or wetlands.
2.The final plat shall show the new outlots and new lot configurations for Lot 2
and 3 Block 1. The city grants PUD flexibility for the lot widths and the narrow
lot widths for lots 2 and 3 Block resulting from the dedication of the Outlot.
3.The City approves the requested Side and rear yard setbacks. The Front
yard setbacks shall be as shown on the approved site plan. Applicant shall
provide a lot by lot setbacklist to the City for reference and application at time
of building permit.
4.The Developer shall construct the house designthat has beenprovided and
approved with this PUD within this Plat.
5.The Applicant shall comply with the recommendations of the CityEngineer
regarding grading, drainage, storm water management, utilities and Street
restoration.

6.Developer shall locate the water service valves outside the driveways.

requirements for tree plant on each lot, ground cover restoration, wetland

screen or fence along the east side of lot 8, Block 1 to screen the park
parking lot.
9.The developer shall enter into a development /PUD agreement with the city
that outlines the terms of this PUD approval and establishes a financial
security for required plat improvements.
th
10.The City reserves its right to require the Karston Cove 5Addition plat to join
the Karston Cove Townhome association if the Association documents to
allow the addition of real estate are amended on or before the approval of the
final plat. The requirement to join the HOA will at the discretion of the Council
based on their review of the conditions and terms of membership.

RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and City Council consider
the following:
MOTION TO:
Authorize the purchase of7 sets of turnout gear for the Fire Department.
BACKGROUND:
The Fire Department’s turnout gear is part of a planned rotation of
equipment and budgeted in the Fire Department’s capital plan. A large number of sets of gear are
approaching the end of their life cycle and are ready for planned replacement.
The Albertville Lions requested to meet with the Fire Department this spring to discuss the
possibility of donating money for the purchase of Fire Department equipment. The Fire
Department membership and Board of Officers both independently met to discuss the equipment
needs of the Department. The greatest needs for personal equipment, identified by both the
Department and Board of Officers,wereextrication gloves, safety vests, and turnout gear.
As a result of the meeting, the Albertville Lions graciously donated $10,000 towards the
purchase of theseitems. The extrication gloves and safety vests have already been purchased.
The cost of 7 sets of turnout gear is $18,165. The remaining balance of the Albertville Lions
donation is $7,214. The remaining total for the 7 sets of turnout gear ($10,951) will be paid as a
planned purchase and will come fromthe FireDepartment’s capital budget.
Staff is recommending approval of the purchase of a 7 sets of turnout gearfor the Fire
Department.
KEY ISSUES:
TheFireDepartment Board of Officershasreviewed the purchase and isrecommending
Council action.
$7, 214 of the purchase will be covered by a generous donation from the Albertville Lions.
The remaining $10,951 will come from the Fire Department’s capital budget.
The equipment purchase is high on the needs of the Fire Department and will replace old,
deteriorating gear.
The turnout gear is individually sized to and should have a working life of 10-years.
The purchase of turnout gear is a planned replacement and part of the capital plan of the Fire
Department.

From:Mike Couri

Re:Attorney Report
Below is an update of the projects our office has been working on for the City.
I-94 Ramp Easement.
The State is asking the City to obtain I-94 ramp easement
from Albertville Marketplace using a revised legal description as the State wants
clearer language in the deed from the City to the State for the ramp easement. The
easement area remains unchanged—the State simply wants its specific language
used in the easement document. Adam is trying to reach the owner to get the new
deed signed.
Charter Cable.
Tina and I have finished a draft of a new franchise agreement. I
will be forwarding it to Charter Cable for their review.
Maeyaert Nuisance Complaint.
We have served a summons and complaint on
st
Charles Maeyaert of 10479 61 street for failure to clean up junk, abandoned cars
and other materials strewn about the property, running a business from his house,
interfering with the pond easement on his lot, and other ordinance violations. Mr.
Maeyaert has ignored Staff’s requests to clean up the property for several years,
and now has failed to answer the complaint in court. We are preparing a default
motion and will be asking the court to authorize us to enter onto the property and
dispose of the cars, appliances and other materials that are stored outside.
WWTP Discharge Easements.
I am drafting an easement agreement for the
sewer discharge line on the Riverwood property in Otsego.
