If the variance were not granted for the street offset, several lots would become non-
conforming and would require variances. City Engineer Pete Carlson indicates that the
street jog is the best option to pursue.
A grade-separated trail will be required on the north side of 53rd Street as a portion
of the park dedication fees.
Chair Larson called for comments from the public.
Terry Harrington asked if existing homes in the area would be assessed for any
costs. The answer is no.
Several residents requested that a stop sign be installed at the intersection of
Lambert Avenue and 53rd Street.
There were no further comments from the public, and Chair Larson closed the
public hearing at 7 :05 PM.
Stalberger made a motion to approve the Findings of Fact & Recommendation,
recommending preliminary and final plat approval for Psyk's ih Addition,
recommending a variance be granted for the street intersection offset, and recommending
the Council require a stop sign be installed at the intersection of Lambert Avenue and
53rd Street. Bauer seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Chair Larson opened the public hearing for JMJ Outlet Center Development Stage.
JMJ Properties, Inc. is requesting preliminary plat approval and PUD
Development Stage Plan approval for the JMJ Minneapolis Outlet Center located on the
parcel of land zoned PUD at the northwest quadrant of 1-94 and CSAH 19. The plat
contains five lots, one outlot, and one remnant parcel of land. Lot 1 encompasses the
outlet center, proposed to be 250,000 square feet in area with 45-50 stores and 57,000
square feet reserved for future expansion on 41.17 acres. The outlet center is expected to
produce 400 full/part time jobs.
Lot 2 is zoned I-I, Limited Industry, and B-3, Highway Commercial, and is not
planned for development. Lots 3, 4, and 5 are intended for use by restaurants or other
complimentary commercial uses. Outlot A is a large wetland and drainage area.

Mike Knowlton, Steve Smallbone, John Bertelson and Robert Morse were present
representing JMJ Properties. Knowlton explained that construction of the mall would
require a 6-9 month time frame. The front of the building will be treated with both
stucco and rust colored steel. The side and rear of the building will be constructed of tip-
up concrete.
Planner Stockman stated that several issues relating to surrounding land use must
be resolved. The plat does not encompass all the land previously zoned PUD. This land
remains under the ownership of Bernard and Judy Roden and is not part of the
development. To be consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan, the land
should be rezoned. Changes in land use should be considered at this time, because
vehicular access necessary for retail development will differ from that required for
industrial development.
Commissioner Brown requested that the Planning Commission consider rezoning
the excess PUD lands to I-I at the next meeting.
. Stockman explained that the ponds shown on Lot 2 (north of the mall) will be
relocated to the comers of the mall property, therefore Lot 2 should be replatted as an
outlot. The remnant parcel west of the building should also be replatted as an outlot.
Stockman reviewed the landscape and screening plan. There is the opportunity to
expand green areas on the site, since the plan shows an excess number of parking spaces.
Knowlton explained that the number of parking spaces shown represent what the
developer has found to be needed, even though it is in excess of the number of spaces
required by the Zoning Ordinance.
The Planning Commission indicated it is satisfied with the landscape plan as
shown.
City Engineer Peter Carlson discussed his August 4, 1998, report with the
Commission. Carlson stated that raised concrete medians and bollards should be
installed around all fire hydrants. The Fire Chief should also review and approve the
location of all hydrants.
Carlson also feels that curb and gutter should be required around all storm water
detention ponds.

Carlson stated improvements to CSAH 19 will be necessitated by the mall
development. Turn lanes will be need to be constructed on County Road 19 and the
center median will need to be extended. Two traffic lights, one at the intersection of
CSAH 19/37 and one at the entrance into the mall, will be required. The traffic signal at
CSAH 19/37 will likely be a 50/50 cost share with the County. The cost to install the
traffic signal at the entrance will be a local cost.
Chair Larson called for comments from the public. There was none. Chair Larson
closed the public hearing at 8:45 PM.
Stalberger made a motion to recommend the City Council approve the PUD
Development Stage and Preliminary Plat for JMJ Properties. Bauer seconded the motion.
Stalberger, Brown, Bauer, and Larson voted aye. Robertus voted no. The motion
carried.
City Attorney Couri reviewed the proposed TIF District # 1 0 with the Commission.
The TIF is a pay-as-you-go economic development district proposed to reimburse Mold
Tech, Inc. for land cost and site improvements on Lot 3, Block 10, Barthel Industrial
Park.
Stalberger made a motion to adopt RESOLUTION 98-1 titled RESOLUTION
FINDING THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN FOR TAX INCREMENT
FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 10 AND THE MODIFICATION TO THE
DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NO. 1 CONSISTENT WITH THE PLANS FOR
DEVELOPMENT OF THE CITY OF ALBERTVILLE. Bauer seconded the motion.
