Maureen ~nformed the Counc~l that the publ~c hear~ngs
on the Darkenwald rezon~ng and prel~m~nary plat request had
been not~ced and held accord~ng to statute. The Counc~l was
~nformed that ~t was the op~n~on of the Albertv~lle Plann~ng
Comm~ss~on that the request for rezon~ng be forwarded to the
Counc~l for act~on. Bob M~ller, the C~ty s attorney stated
that the Counc~l would need to amend the zon~ng ord~nance so
that ~t would account for the change zon~ng. Bob went on
to expla~n that the ord~nance would need to be approved by a
4/5 vote ~n order for the ord~nance to be amended.
.
Gary Schwenzfe~er made a mot~on to approve the
prel~m~nary plat for Darkenwald s Westw~nd, Phase I, and
requested that Bob M~ller draw up the necessary ord~nance
needed to approve the zon~ng on the effected land. Bob Braun
seconded th~s mot~on. All were ~n favor and the mot~on
carr~ed.
Maureen Andrews rev~ewed w~th the Counc~l the Plann~ng
Comm~ss~on s recommendat~on on the prel~m~nary plat for the
Braun s Add~t~on, Phase I. The Counc~l was ~nformed that the
hear~ng was not~ced and held accord~ng to the requ~rements
set forth by law. It was the ~ntent of the Plann~ng
Comm~ss~on that the Braun Plat be approved as drawn, but
that the follow~ng ~tems should be noted by the Counc~l.
The m~nutes should note that the follow~ng ~ssues were
brought forth as some concerns: Ne~l Meyer s lot and the
~ssue of the storm water run off ~n the area of Ma~n Avenue.
The f~rst ~ssue brought up was the poss~ble problem of
water back~ng up onto the Ne~l Meyer lot, wh~ch faces Lannon
Avenue. The Counc~l was ~nformed that Bob Rohl~n of
Meyer-Rohl~n was present at the hear~ng and ~s aware of the
problem and felt that w~th very l~ttle work a catch bas~n
could be t~ed ~nto the storm sewer system so that the Meyer
lot would not be negat~vely ~mpacted by the new subd~v~s~on.
.
The next ~ssue rev~ewed was that of Doug Psyk s concern
regard1ng the storm water run-off 1n the area of Ma~n
Avenue, wh1ch dra1ns through h1s property. He asked that
the eng1neers look at the area to assure proper dra~nage.
He went on to expla1n at the publ~c hear1ng that the b~ggest
dra~nage problem occurs ~n the Heur1ng d1tch area because
the d~tch becomes overgrown and the water becomes trapped
w1th no release. Doug asked that 1n an effort to reduce any
potent1al problems that the C1ty cons~der sem1annually

There was also some d1scuss10n regard1ng the use of
part1al cal-du-sacs. Gary Schwenzfe1er asked why the
subd1v1s10n had been des1gned w1th th1S type of
cal-du-sac? It was p01nted out that w1thout th1s des1gn
the development would not have as many lots because of the
11m1ted street access. It was also p01nted out that w1thout
the cal-du-sacs the back lots'would be deep but would not
have enough frontage to meet the requ1rements of
s1ngle-fam1ly zon1ng, therefore fewer lots would have been
a I lowed.
A mot10n to approve Braun's Add1t10n, Phase I, was made
by Donatus Vetsch and seconded by Gary Schwenzfe1er. All
were 1n favor and the mot10n carr1ed. The m1nutes should
note that Bob Braun absta1ned from vot1ng on the approval of
the Braun s Add1t10n, Phase I.
.
Mr. Ke1th Frankl1n, of Frankl1n Outdoor Advert1s1ng,
was present at the meet1ng to ask perm1ss10n from the
Counc11 to erect S1X b11lboard s1gns on the west end of
Albertv11le between the Burl1ngton Northern ra1lroad and the
south s1de of Interstate 1-94. Ke1th expla1ned to the
Counc11 that he had requested these perm1ts last fall, but
had been wa1t1ng for approval of ra1lroad for the purpose of
locat1ng the s1gns on ra1lroad r1ght-of-way.
Ke1th 1nformed the Counc11 that he was request1ng
perm1ss10n to construct s1gns Wh1Ch would be 30 feet w1de
and constructed on a steel beam structure. He went on to
expla1n that the S1X s1gns would be located 500 feet apart
and would be located 20 feet from the ra1lroad tracks. In
order to get a sense of the S1ze of the s1gns he expla1ned
that they would be one half the S1ze of what 1S currently
constructed now and w111 stand 20 feet 1n the a1r so as not
to obstruct V1S10n.
Mr. Frankl1n stated that they have been wa1t1ng S1nce
October of 1987 for approval from TBI. He also stated that
the construct10ns follow all the ord1nances as set forth by
the State of M1nnesota.
.
The C1ty s attorney stated that the new ord1nance
requ1res add1t10nal 1nformat10n such as cop1es of
spec1f1cat10ns stat1ng what k1nd of structure, the
d1mens10ns of the structure, the exact locat10ns, etc., and
bel1eved add1t10nal 1nformat10n was needed before the
Counc11 could take any act10n on the 1ssue. Bob also
p01nted out that the Counc11 1S currently cons1der1ng the
rezon1ng of sa1d property 1n the near future, and that 1n
order for the s1gns to be "grand fathered 1n" that they would
have to be erected before rezon1ng becomes f1nal or they
would not be allowed to be bU1lt.

.
Donatus Vetsch asked about the ~mpact the rezon~ng
would have on the Counc~l dec~s~ons regard~ng the s~gns. It
was stated that the C4ty would cont~nue to have some
property r~ghts after the perm~t was ~ssued, but that once
the structures are bu~lt that ~t ~s typ~cal they would be
allowed to stay ~n ex~stence under the grandfather clause.
.
It was po~nted out that the C~ty uses the annual
renewal as a method of ma~nta~n~ng some control over the
structures w~th~n the C~ty l~m~ts.
It was suggested that ~t m~ght be helpful ~f staff met
w~th Ke~th and C~ty staff go over the ~ssue d~scussed at the
meet~ng pr~or to the next Counc~l meet~ng and report bac~ to
the Counc~l the results of the meet~ng. Pr~or to the
meet~ng Ke~th was asked to put together the add~t~onal
~nformat~on requested by the C~ty. Ke~th agreed to set up
the meet~ng w~th Bob M~ller and Maureen Andrews to d~scuss
the ~ssue and try to resolve ~t before the next meet~ng.
.
Donatus Vetsch made a mot~on to table the b~llboard
~ssue unt~l the next regular meet~ng, wh~ch would allow t~me
for the meet~ng to work through the ~ssues. Gary
Schwenzfe~er seconded the mot~on. All were ~n favor and the
mot~on carr~ed.
The next ~tem rev~ewed by the Counc~l was the ~ncome
rece~ved and the b~lls to be pa~d. The Barco b~ll and the
NSP b~ll were not to be pa~d at th~s t~me. Gary Schwenzfe~er
asked about the outstand~ng sewer accounts, and whether or
not they be cert~f~ed to the County. It was agreed that
Maureen would look ~nto the ~ssue and report bac~ the
f~nd~ngs to the Counc~l. W~th no other d~scuss~on, a mot~on
was made by Gary Schwenzfe~er and seconded by Bob Braun to
approve the b111s. All were ~n favor and chec~s 8584 through
8599 were pa~d.
.
Maureen Andrews updated the Counc1l on the computer.
The computer be~ng cons~dered ~s be~ng offered by Quest
Informat10n Systems and would 1nclude spec1al~zed ut111ty
b11l1ng system, an electron1c spread sheet and a word
process~ng pac~age. Maureen expla1ned that S1nce the
computer ~s an IBM compat1ble mach1ne, there are some over
the counter software packages that can be looked at for
future use, 1n add1t10n, software 1S ava1lable through
Quest. The complete computer package w~ll cost $5,543.00,
w~th the $250.00 for the ma~ntenance package ~ncluded for
free dur~ng the month of March. It was also p01nted that
the purchase agreement allows room to back out of the
agreement w1th1n the f~rst 90 days w~thout any explanat10n.
There was some d1scuss~on about the fact that only
$2,000.00 had been budgeted for th1s program. The Counc11

members were 1nformed tMat there were some adm1n1strat10n
costs that had not prev10usly been used 1n an old bond 1ssue
and would be ava1lable tQ use. Add1t10nally, 1t was
suggested that other funds m1ght be ava1lable as well.
Gary Schwenzfe1er asked what was g01ng to be done
regard1ng the money be1ng allocated to account1ng worv.
Maureen expla1ned that there was software ava1lable to fund
account1ng but that she had not loo~ed 1nto 1t at th1s t1me
because 1t had been agreed upon at budget t1me that the C1ty
would not loo~ at ma~1ng a change 1n account1ng pract1ces
for a least a year so that there would be t1me to get a
system set up, but that hopefully 1n the near future the
C1ty w111 be able to eventually move to a quarterly serV1ce
from the accountant's off1ce.

Maureen Andrews brought to the Counc11 s attent10n that
1t would be necessary to set the Board of Rev1ew Hear1ng for
Apr11 19, 1988 at 7:00 p.m. It was p01nted out that the
County had or1g1nally scheduled the meet1ng for Apr11 12th,
but had recently changed the date. W1th no other
d1scuss10n,Bob Braun made a mot10n to set the hear1ng. The
mot10n was seconded by Gary Schwenzfe1er. All were 1n favor
and the mot10n carr1ed.
The 1ssue of 1nsurance for the Albertv11le C1ty float
was next d1scussed. S1nce the C1ty 1S p1ck1ng up the cost of
the 11cense tabs, we would also be respons1ble for the
1nsurance. The float 1S class1f1ed as a tra1ler and 1t
appears that the charge w111 be m1n1mal.
The phone problem was d1scussed at some length. Maureen
Andrews stated that she had checked w1th Un1ted Telephone on
a 3 11ne phone (2 11nes for Adm1n1strat10n, 1 11ne for
Ma1ntenance) wh1ch would r1ng on Lor1e s desv so that she
could take all the 1ncom1ng calls. It appears that 1f the
C1ty was to purchase the phone through Un1ted Telephone, the
cost for a Panason1c 3 11ne phone would run $254.00,or
$420.00 1f 1t was 1nstalled.
.
There was a great deal of d1scusS10n regard1ng the
phone problem and what opt10ns the C1ty has for resolv1ng
them. It was agreed that Gary Schwenzfe1er and Maureen
Andrews would talk w1th a phone representat1ve on what k1nds
of phone systems are ava1lable and what would be most
feas1ble for the C1ty. No further act10n was ta~en.
