The Council directed staff to prepare a report for the next agenda detailing the number
of feet of sewer main in the City and how much it would cost to have the mains jetted vs. the
cost of purchasing a fetter truck for the City's own use.
Dynamic Designs presented a concept plan for property they own at the southwest
intersection of 57th Street and Lambert Avenue. The property is currently zoned R-1 and
could accommodate approximately four single-family homes that meet all zoning regulations.
Dynamics is proposing to request a rezoning of the site to R-4, PUD to allow construction of
14 townhome units. The concept plan is for single level senior town -homes that would be3
owner occupied by seniors 55 and older. A homeowner's association would be created for
maintenance of the grounds and the building exteriors. The developers asked for input from
the Council. The Council suggested that more green space be shown with fewer visitor
parking spaces.
City Planner Cindy Sherman reviewed the Conditional use Permit and Site Plan
approval requests submitted by Casey's General Store for the construction of a convenience
and gas facility to be located on the northwest corner of County Road 19 and 57th Street NE.
The site is currently zoned B-3 and the CUP is required to allow gas sales.
• There are two accesses shown onto the property, both are off of 571h Street. Because
of the proximity to the intersection, the most easterly access is to be a right -in, right -out only.
The most westerly access is designed to be shared with the adjacent parcel and was required
through the platting process.
Franklin made a motion to adopt the Findings of Fact & Decision, approving the
Conditional Use Permit to allow gas sales and the site plan for Casey' General Store,
contingent upon the developer installing a sidewalk along the north side of 57th Street from
County Road 19 to 58th Street NE. Berning seconded the motion.
After further discussion regarding the accesses into the property, Berning made a
motion to amend the original motion to require that the developer install a concrete median in
the center of 571h Street to prevent traffic from turning left onto 57th Street. Vetsch seconded
the motion. All voted aye.
Further discussion of the motion led to Beming making a second amendment to the
motion by adding an item to the Findings of Fact & Decision stating it is the Council's
intention that a trail will be constructed in the County Road 19 right of way and the monies
collected by park dedication fees for this plat will be used to construct the trail adjacent to this
property. Franklin seconded the motion. All voted aye.

Mayor Olson called for a vote on the original motion by Franklin and the two
amendments of that motion. Franklin, Berning, Olson and Vetsch voted aye. Wallace voted
no. The motion carried.
Planner Sherman presented the Albertville Plaza Amended PUD and Preliminary and
Final Plat. The property is located at the south and west intersections of County Roads 37 and
19. The site is zoned PUD and was approved for unrestricted commercial development as
part of the Westwind PUD. The existing PUD also allows pylon signs consistent with the
Sign Ordinance allowance for lots abutting the freeway. The current application is to amend
the PUD and implement a development plan with specific uses with an internal system of
shared access. Lots 1 and 3 have developments proposed that be subject to site plan review
later in the agenda. Lot 2 will be subject to site plan review in the future. Outlot A may
become more than one lot and will be subject to platting and site plan review in the future.
The uses on the parcels under the amended PUD are proposed to be restricted to restaurants,
automobile service, professional office, bank, motel daycare and retail sales.
The developer requests that he be allowed two pylon signs on the entire site but that
each sign be allowed to be 320 square feet in size. According to the amended PUD contract
• signed in 1989, each business would be allowed one 75' pylon sign, but the size of the actual
sign would be determined by the Sign Ordinance (about 40 square feet).
After discussion Berning made a motion to approve the Findings of Fact & Decision,
approving the amended PUD and granting preliminary and final plat approval for Albertville
Plaza as follows:
• Amend Item 1 to read: "The PUD shall be limited to two multi -tenant signs at 75 feet in
height with 400 total square feet of signage".
• Amend Item 7 to include restaurant and auto service.
• Amend Item 13 by adding "and acceptable to the City and the developer".
• Add Item 14: The developer will record easements for utility and street access on all lots.
• Add Item 15: The underlying zoning of the plat is B-3 and is subject to the above -
mentioned use restrictions.
• Add Item 16: The developer agrees to provide reciprocal access to the property lying to
the south of the plat.
• Add Item 17: The City will maintain the private streets in the plat as mutually agreed to
in the Developer's Agreement.
Wallace seconded the motion. Berning, Olson, Wallace and Vetsch voted aye. Franklin
voted no. The motion carried.
Planner Sherman reviewed the Culvers's site plan with the Council. Franklin made a
motion to adopt the Findings of Fact & Decision, approving the site plan for Culver's to be
is
