• Chad Chicos, representing the Fire Department, inquired if the Albertville Fire Department
could join the North Metro Mutual Aide group.

that time present more information on the group for the Council to make a decision.
Sandy Greninger from FYCC gave an update on the program. She went into detail all the
activities the program is offering. She informed them how the funds are being spent. They
came before the Council in 2000 and asked for $7,000. The Council agreed to budget
$3,400. She is back this year asking for the same amount of $7,000. They have already
approached St. Michael for their funds.
FYCC will donate $500 for benches at Oakside Park. The only stipulation is the benches
have to be installed before spring of 2002.
Berning asked about a skateboard park. He said the Jaycee's might be interested in
funding (partially) for the City to put one in somewhere in the city. FYCC would help
with that. Sandy had information available on metal ramps. She said they would be
guaranteed for up to ten (10) years. She did have information on wooden ramps, but they
would last up to three (3) years.

family homes. Staff recommends approval of the final plat as outlined in the findings of
fact.

Mark Putman, Towne Lakes Engineer, Dave Hempl, and Shelley Thompkins were present.

the Master Developer's Agreement for the Towne Lakes Development. As they present
each additional phase they would have a Subdivision Developer's Agreement.
• Vetsch asked Dave Hempl to go into more detail on the detached garage situation. It is
also noted about a detached second dwelling unit that may be constructed on the lot.
The representatives went into long discussion regarding the detached second dwelling unit.
It may be a little cottage on the homeowner's property that could house a "Family
Member". Family Member defined as a brother, sister, parent, child, grandchild, or
grandparent of the owner.
City Attorney Couri commented that it the next item in the Developer's Agreement would
make it hard for some of the homeowners to build a second dwelling unit. The maximum
impervious surface coverage is 30% with the exception of a few lots.
Mayor Olson added that this would be in a future phase. The first phase is single family
housing.
Berning asked about the pool. When would that be going in?
Towne Lakes representatives commented that the timing of the schedule for the pool
would be tied in with possibly the Second Phase of the development.
Berning wanted to make sure it would be put in for the incoming homeowners. If that is
one of the selling points of the development, he wants to see it go in.
