CITIZEN FORUM
Mayor Klecker asked if there was anyone in the audience that wanted to discuss an item with the
Council that was not already on the agenda.
William Hunter of 10412 Karston Avenue NE wanted to discuss a drainage issue.
Mr. Hunter reported that in 2001 his neighbor was doing some work in his (the neighbor's)
backyard, which the neighbor used a bobcat or other equipment and drove over a pipe and
crushed it. The pipe served as a means to help with the drainage in the backyards of the lots in
the area. Since 2001, Mr. Hunter has been experiencing water-drainage problems. Mr. Hunter
recommended removing the pipe and creating a swale to help with the drainage of water.
Staff informed the Council that they have been working with Mr. Hunter regarding the drainage
concern. Staff was researching which would be the best way to deal with the drainage whether

2007 AUDIT CONDUCTED BY KDV
Matt Mayer of Kern, DeWenter, & Viere (KDV) began by explaining there are three (3) parts to
the 2007 Audit, which is due to the City receiving Federal Funds. Mayer continued noting that
KDV has audited the City of Albertville's financial statements of the governmental activities, the
business-type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the
City of Albertville as of the year ended December 31, 2007. Mayer reported that KDV
conducted the audit in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards and the
standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards.
Mayer touched briefly on the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changed in Fund
Balances-Budget and Actual General Fund report located on page 13 of the Annual Financial
Report. Mayer noted that the 2007 Budget Revenue was 3.268 million with the Actual Revenue
at only 3.166 million making the Actual Revenue brought in under budget by $101 thousand.
Mayer commented on the amount of Budgeted Expenditures was 3.192 million and the Actual
Expenditures for 2007 was 3.188, which is under budget by $4 thousand. Mayer brought to
Council's attention that staff did a good job estimating Revenue and Expenditures for 2007. The
unknown expenditure for 2007 was the purchase of land that made the Capital Expenditures
over. Mayer stated that overall there is a Budget surplus of$75 thousand, which the Actual
deficit is $22 thousand as a result of the revenue shortfall. Final item Mayer brought up was the
Sewer and Water funds, noting that the Sewer Funds has General Obligation Bonds, which the
City is making payments on.
Mayor Klecker asked the Council if they had any additional comments or concerns regarding the
2007 Audit conducted by KDV. There were no comments or concerns by the Council at this
time.

No. 2008-025 entitled a Resolution Setting Stormwater Utility Rates was denied at this time.
Approve accepting Bolton and Menk, Inc. 's Storm water Management Proposal as presented
on March 3, 2008 with the cost based on an hourly rate not to exceed $63, 000
Assistant City Engineer Nafstad reminded staff the letter and Stormwater Management Proposal
was presented on March 3, 2008 at a Committee of the Whole meeting. Nafstad reported that by
conducting a Stormwater Management Plan evaluates the current and long-term stormwater
needs in a community and recommends a coordinated program of improvements, maintenance
programs and policies, which will result in an organized stormwater system designed to
minimize or eliminate future flooding. Nafstad went on to explain that such a plan encourages
the installation of site improvements and stormwater drainage systems arranged and properly
. sized for existing and future developments.
Nafstad continued by touching on the fact that the implementation of a Stormwater Management
Plan provides a guide to government and real estate developers, and establishes the shape of
future drainage of infrastructure and planning needs. Nafstad covered the point that the plan also
helps developed communities identify weak points in the existing system and cohesive policy
and firm direction. Nafstad commented that one of the most important advantages gained by
preparing and implementing a Stormwater Management Plan is the ability to identify future
flooding. In summary, Nafstad noted that a Stormwater Management Plan is a tool that provides
a basis upon which a community can determine a developer's fair share for off-site contributions
that may be required. It is apparent that a properly organized Stormwater Management Plan will
prepare a municipality for all elements and contingencies involving development and growth.
MOTION BY Council member Wagner, seconded by Council member Fay to approve Bolton
and Menk, Inc.'s proposal dated March 3,2008 to complete a Stormwater Management Plan at
an hourly rate not to exceed $63,000, with the work to be completed by October 1,2008 and on
file in the office of the City Clerk. Motion carried unanimously.

PLANNING AND ZONING
Approve Resolution No. 2008-024 entitled a Resolution Approving a Planned Unit Development
(PUD) and a Site and Building Plan Review for Albertville Townhomes Development Stage
located off of CSAH 3 7 within the City of Albertville
City Planner Brixius began reporting that BKV Group and Albertville Townhomes LLC
(Dominium) has submitted an application for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Stage Plan,
Site and Building Plan Review Application for a 37 rental townhome unit complex to be located
along CSAH 37 in Albertville. The proposed site is known as Lot 1, Block 1, Westwind 3rd
Addition.
Brixius went over some of the history of the site noting that in March 1996, Kornovich
Development Company applied for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) and Rezoning to allow
for a 40-unit townhome development. The property was rezoned to PUD and at the same time
the Comprehensive Plan Land Use for the site was amended from R-6 High Density Residential
to R-5 Medium Density Residential. Brixius did bring to Council's attention the original plan for
the site was another three-story 75-unit apartment facility.
~rixius reported that Briggs Properties approached the City with an application to change the
guided land use in 2005 back to R-6 High Density, which staff indicated that the City was not
interested in additional high density residential development; unless the project offered a product
different from the existing rental properties.
Brixius commented on the vehicular circulation noting that access to the site will be provided
through the existing driveway to the Albertville Meadows Apartment complex located on CSAH
37. There will be a need to establish a cross-easement to allow vehicular circulation between the
existing site and the new development. The interior two-way circulation will move traffic
around a center island. Along with vehicular circulation, Brixius also brought up the pedestrian
circulation stating that sidewalks are placed through the common areas of the center of the site
and connections are provided to the trail along CSAH 37.
Other areas Brixius reported on were landscaping. The development is proposed to have a
mixture of shrubs and perennials. In addition to the landscaping, an abutting property owner
brought up a concern with the development at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting
recommending a fence be installed for privacy from the multi-family residential dwellings to the
single-family residential dwellings to the southwest.
Brixius concluded with the fact that based on the submitted plans, staff recommends approval of
the Planned Unit Development (PUD) Concept Plan and the Site and Building Plan Review for
the Albertville Townhomes applicant subject to the following conditions:
1. Crosswalks shall be provided for crossing between the community center to the central
island and playground.

2. All proposed shrubs shall be planted at 24 inches in height.
3. Shrubs shall be placed to screen headlights from the guest parking areas.
4. The landscape plan shall be amended to include a two year landscape guarantee.
5. Details of the proposed monument sign shall be submitted for City review.
6. Snow storage location shall be specified on the site plan or a plan to remove the snow
from the site shall be submitted to the City.
7. Plans shall be revised to illustrate a 6-foot screen fence along the west property line for
the full length of Building 5.
8. Developer shall revise the plans to address the Engineer's review comments from the
Engineer's report dated March 3, 2008.
9. The site plan shall address the fire inspector's recommendations from their report dated
April 9, 2008.
10. The applicant shall enter into a developer's agreement with the City of Albertville.
Mayor Klecker asked if the Council members had any questions or concerns with the proposed
Albertville Townhome Development.
Council members had concerns with the rental development becoming Section 8 Housing.
Another question that the Council brought up was the location of mailboxes.
David Dye, representative of the BKV Group and Albertville Townhomes LLC (Dominium)
reiterated there will be no Section 8 Housing within the complex; however, there are a number of
Fair Housing Units placed within the complex. Mr. Dye shared with the Council that to the best
of his knowledge there is no longer Section 8 Housing within the State of Minnesota.
Council had a concern with access off of CSAH 37 and the amount of traffic that would be
generated from the two sites.
It was brought up again that the site was originally planned to house a three-story 75-unit
apartment complex similar to the Albertville Meadows building, which would share the access
off of CSAH 37 for a combined total of 150-unit on the two (2) sites.
MOTION BY Council member Vetsch, seconded by Council member Berning to approve
Resolution No. 2008-024 entitled a Resolution Approving a Planned Unit Development (PUD)
and a Site and Building Plan Review for Albertville Townhomes Development Stage located off
of CSAH 37 within the City of Albertville as amended:
11. Expand the parking lot to allow for additional visitor parking stalls.
12. Expand the radius of the driveway access to the site with potential turning lanes.

13. Confirmed cross-easement between the existing property owner of the Albertville
Meadows Apartments (Westwind 2nd Addition) and the owner of the proposed
Albertville Townhomes (Westwind 3rd Addition), which needs to be recorded at the
Wright County Recorder's Office.
and a copy on file in the office of the City Clerk. Motion carried unanimously.
Approve the revised Albertville Marketplace Site and Building Plans (Emma Krumbee 's
Restaurant)
City Planner Brixius reminded the Council that in February 2008 City Council approved site and
building plans for Emma Krumbee's Restaurant (Building C) to be located on Lot 4 ofthe
Albertville Marketplace Development. Since the approval, the developer has now come forward
with finalized plans for the building that are slightly different from the originally-submitted
plans. Phil Morris has submitted slight modifications to the Emma Krumbee's Restaurant
building within the Albertville Marketplace.
City Planner Brixius noted the floor plan has been slightly modified so that the building footprint
is now a rectangle, with a 12' x 24' trash enclosure area located on the east-side ofthe building;
an 8' x 14' vestibule located on the north-side; a garden/patio area located on the west-side of the
building; and a 5.33' x 27.33' area of the building protruding out on the south side of the
building. The proposed square footage remains at 7,300 square feet, per original plan approval.
The alterations to the floor plan do not warrant changes to the site plan, which means no
modification to the parking requirements or pedestrian circulation are needed.
City Planner Brixius went over the building elevations that have been finalized from what was
submitted in February of 2008. The elevations propose tall, parapet walls that make the building
appear to be two stories in height and serve as screens to mechanical equipment. The exterior
walls shall contain brick, several windows with multiple, small panes to give the building a
country manor appearance.
Brixius continued explaining how the south elevation, facing the freeway, contains mostly brick
among multiple-paned windows on the 'lower' level that contain awnings. The windows on the
upper portion of the parapet contain shudders, which add to the country manor appearance.
These windows are located on all four sides of the building. The west elevation, facing the on-
ramp, contains tall, multi-paned windows that do not contain awnings, and a mostly brick
exterior. The west elevation also contains a 'round' doorway and two double-framed entrances
with tall, multi-paned windows within the door frames. This elevation also contains the
garden/patio and trellis, which contains four columns to support the trellis. The garden/patio will
not be used for dining.
Brixius concluded the exterior appearance noting the north elevation, facing the parking lot, is
similar to the south elevation in that it contains a mostly brick exterior with multi-paned

windows that have awnings. The vestibule is located on this elevation also. The east elevation
contains the least amount of brick and windows. It contains the trash enclosure, an employee
door, and a 'round' doorway.
In summary, Brixius informed the Council that because slight modifications have been made to
the floor plan of Emma Krumbee's Restaurant, and the building elevations have been finalized,
staff has brought these alterations to the City Council for their review and final acceptance. Staff
believes that the proposal is an attractive-looking building and asks the City Council for their
formal approval if they find the building to be acceptable.
Mayor Klecker asked the Council if they had any questions or concerns regarding the revised
Site and Building Plans for Emma Krumbee's Restaurant. Upon hearing none the following
motion was made.
MOTION BY Council member Vetsch, seconded by Council member Fay to approve the
revised Albertville Marketplace Site and Building Plans (Emma Krumbee's Restaurant) as
presented at the April 21, 2008 regular City Council meeting, and to update the Albertville
Marketplace Developer's Agreement to include the revised plans, which need to be recorded at
the Wright County Recorders Office and a copy on file in the office of the City Clerk. Motion
carried unanimously.
Ace Properties Trash Enclosure and Garage Door Installation
Council brought to staff attention the fact that the trash enclosure for the Ace Properties located
next to the Mobil Gas Store has been removed. Council reported that it appears a garage door
has been installed. Council then directed staff to research why the trash enclosure was removed
and the garage door was installed. As a follow-up to the above mentioned items, staff will report
the findings at a future meeting.
ENGINEERING
Accept the Assistant City Engineer's Progress Report
Assistant City Engineer Nafstad touched briefly on the report bringing to Council's attention the
contractor has informed staff the all streetlights along CSAH 19 south will be operational the
week of April 21. Council member Fay and I went to investigate prior to the meeting, but were
unable to identify if the lights were functioning or not.
Assistant City Engineer Nafstad reported on the upcoming street projects. Nafstad informed the
Council that staff has reviewed which roads or streets throughout Albertville that need some
form of attention. There appeared to be three (3) areas staff will be looking at is sea1coating,
overlaying and patch work. Staff feels Karston Avenue NE and Karston Court NE will be

sealcoated along with East Laketowne Drive NE and West Laketowne Drive NE. Even though
6ih Street NE has a minimal amount of traffic, staff will be overlaying along with Keystone
Avenue NE. Other areas that would have patchwork done are 60th Street NE and 58th Street NE
to name a couple.
Council members accepted the Assistant City Engineer's Progress Report dated April 16, 2008
as presented in the April 21, 2008 City Council packet.
LEGAL
Approve Ordinance No. 2008-001 entitled an Ordinance Amending Title 10; Chapter 2; Section
of the 2005 Albertville Municipal City Code
City Attorney Couri reviewed the amendment to the 2005 Albertville Municipal City Code.
Couri reported that alcohol on city premises can give rise to City liability in a number of ways.
Generally, if alcohol is sold on City property, the City may be liable under Minnesota's Dram
shop laws if someone gets hurt as a result of being served alcohol on City property. Couri went
op to explain that the ordinance amendment requires that if alcohol is to be sold at City Hall, it
only be sold by a licensed caterer who has at least $1,000,000 in Dram Shop Insurance and
names the City as an additional insured on the policy.
Couri then noted that should there be the case where the City is in the position of simply renting
the premises to a person or group for a function, the ordinance amendment requires the party
leasing City Hall to provide the City with a general liability insurance policy in the amount of
$500,000, which the City is named as an additional insurer and to have a special endorsement to
the City for host liquor liability.
Couri summarized by stating he had been in contact with the League of Minnesota Cities
Insurance Trust to try to determine whether the City's current insurance would cover any of
these claims should the insurance of the party leasing City Hall be insufficient. To date, staff has
not been able to get a clear answer from anyone at the League, but will continue trying over the
next few days.
There was a lengthy discussion between staff and the Council how to proceed with the
Ordinance amendment. After careful consideration the Council made the following decision to
allow extra time to contact their personal Homeowner's Insurance Agent to see how easy or hard
it would be to obtain coverage for City Hall for a potentially one time event.
Council tabled Ordinance No. 2008-001 entitled an Ordinance Amending Title 10; Chapter 2;
Section of the 2005 Albertville Municipal City Code until the Monday, May 5, 2008 regular City
Council meeting.

ADMINISTRATION
Accept the City Administrator's Written Report
City Administrator Kruse touched on the Lobby Trip to Washington DC, which was a successful
meeting with all of our Congressional Delegates. Kruse noted that the STMA School Attorney is
reviewing the title for the Arena Land.
Council members accepted the City Administrator's Written Report dated ApriI1?, 2008 as
presented in the April 21, 2008 City Council packet.
1-94 Right-ol-Way
City Administrator Kruse wanted to continue the efforts to pursuing the 1-94 interchange. Kruse
encouraged Council to review the map that was included in the packet and consider what to
begin with. Do we go forward with phases, which would be negotiating to acquire the land
necessary to implement Phase I ofthe full 1-94 Interchange Project.
Following the discussion, staff got the consensus from the Council to continue pursuing at least
Phase I of the 1-94 Interchange Project. Staff will present an update to the Council at the
Monday, May 5, 2008 regular City Council meeting.
School - Albert Villas Pond - Land Transaction Update
Kruse reported that he met with Superintendent Ziegler regarding the land purchase. Kruse felt
Ziegler and himself came to a rather reasonable land purchase transaction with the STMA School
for the future expansion of the STMA Ice Arena.
Personnel Committee (discussion)
Council member Berning, also Personnel Committee member, asked the entire Council if it
would be okay with them to discuss the issue of a City employees serving as Day Firefighter
Responders at the next meeting. It was the consensus of the Council to discuss the potential of
City employee(s) to serve as Day Firefighter Responders, which would amend the Albertville
City Personnel Policy.
