The council reviewed the October 28, 1998, letter from Michael Knowlton,
attorney for JMJ Properties. The developer's agents have previously met with
City Administrator and the two Councilmembers appointed to negotiate the City's
fees for the development of an outlet mall to be constructed north of 1-94. The
developer is proposing two options for the payment of the development fees:
(1) The developer will pay the fees, based on the approximately 40 acres to be
developed as the outlet mall, in the amount of $427,055 in the form of an
assessment on the property over an eight-year period with 6% per annum
interest.
(2) The developer will transfer ownership of approximately 38 acres of
industrial land located north of the outlet mall to the City of Albertville in
exchange for 100% of the development fees.
Each of the options is contingent upon the developer and the City entering into a
mutually acceptable Developer's Agreement.
The developer has agreed to reserve Outlot A (approximately unbuildable
20 acres) for future highway access to 1-94. Councilmember Berning asked Bob
Morse, one of the partners in the development, if the developer would consider
dedicating Outlot A to the City for the future access. Morse stated the developers
would not have a problem with that request.
.
City staff is recommending the acceptance of the 38 acres of industrial land
in exchange for the fees.

The Council received the letter from Dr. William Hession concerning Ken
Lindsay's recent examination. Based on the doctor's opinion that Lindsay could
return to work, Vetsch made a motion to accept Lindsay's return to work as soon
as the city attorney has reviewed and approved the doctor's statement. Gundersen
seconded the motion. All voted aye.
City Engineer suggested that the Council tour both St. Michael's and
Rogers' wastewater treatment plant. Carlson will attempt to establish a date when
a tour is convenient.
.
Carlson reported that St. Michael City Administrator Bob Derus had
expressed concern from that city's residents regarding the placement of an 18"
pipe through the Greenhaven Addition. Carlson views the piping project as a
repair to the current tile line that originally was 18" in diameter. The pipe will
begin at the east side of MacKenzie Avenue and continue at a basically flat grade.
The easement on the last lot could be used for a detention pond if it becomes
necessary in the future.
