The committee was nervous going into the planning with hopes that it would be successful. As it turned out, they had a great `boat -load' of people that attended the event. If they do this again, they talked about holding it in the spring and advertising more. Council member Sorensen updated the Council on the STMA Ice Arena sound system that has been discussed. Staff received three (3) quotes to upgrade the system within the STMA Ice Arena. The two (2) main speakers are not working leaving the other two (2) smaller speakers producing the sound, which is not sufficient for the size of the arena. The sound system is approximately 10+ years old and is becoming worse and worse. The main users of the sound system are the STMA Varsity Hockey team along with other STMA Youth Hockey teams. Sorensen shared that the new system will allow arena users to input music without accessing the equipment. The sound system that is being looked at will have the capability to be added to at a later date. There is a three (3) year plus warranty with an optional three (3) year extension. The cost is estimated at $2,500 plus sales tax, which includes installation. The STMA School Board has approved using the fund from the original bond to purchase the new sound system from Northern Light Sound Light and Video Productions in conjunction with Sunset Production. Council member Schommer wanted to know if any of the current equipment could be sold or used as a trade -in. Both Wagner and Sorensen responded by letting Schommer know that it is very doubtful if the sound system is worth anything. Oral update on the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting Council member Wagner informed the Council there was one (1) item on the agenda, which was the rezoning of the City -owned Prairie Run residential lots. The Commission was concerned with the elevations for the homes that will be addressed. Some of the building pads will need to be changed to slab on grade.

PLANNING AND ZONING No comments ENGINEERING Approve a MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR THE INSTALLATIONAND MAINTENANCE OF FLASHING YELLOWARROW,SIGNAL FOR THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL ON CSAH 19 AT CSAH 37IN THE CITYOFALBERTVILLE and directing staff to coordinate the improvement with the Wright County Highway Department City Engineer Nafstad began by reporting that the Council directed staff to research the number of accidents that have occurred along the CSAH 19 corridor. Staff contacted the Wright County Sheriff's Department and focused on obtaining the statistics for the CSAH 19/37 intersection, which they found out there have been a total of 49 accidents since 2006 to August 2011. Nafstad stated that a majority of these accidents were motorists taking left turns whether it was someone turning off of CSAH 19 onto CSAH 37 or the opposite. M:\Public Data \City Council \Council Minutes \2011 Minutes \M 10 -17 -2011 approved (bm).doc City of Albertville City Council Minutes October 17, 2011 Page 5 of 14 Nafstad continued with the comment that there are some individuals that feel changing the signal to a protective -only operation where a Red Arrow prevents left turns when the signal switches to the solid Green light. This operation produces motorist frustration by having to wait for a green arrow that would allow them to make the left turn. This type of change would cause problems and issues with the queues and overall operation of the system. The Council has been supportive in looking into being proactive and figuring out how to reduce the number of accidents along CSAH 19 in Albertville. Nafstad commented that at the September 17, 2011 meeting, staff explained a new Minnesota State style of `left turn' traffic signal. There is four (4) arrows on the tower. The top one is a Red Arrow, next is a solid Yellow Arrow, below that is a Flashing Yellow Arrow, leaving the bottom signal to be a Green Arrow. The majority of the arrows are common and motorists are familiar with what they stand for. The Flashing Yellow Arrow would be something new for the motorists to discover how it works. Nafstad shared that there is additional signage available explaining how the signals work that can be installed similar to what is currently there explaining the Yield on a Green Light. The flashing would allow the motorist the ability to go; however, they would need to yield to motorists traveling straight through the intersection. Nafstad stated the cost to implement the change of the signalized turn light is $32,000, which Wright County has prepared a Memorandum of Understanding to Install the four (4) Arrow Light System. With the Memorandum of Understanding, the Wright County Highway Department agrees to share the expense with the City. Council member Schommer asked if there were sufficient funds in the Electric Franchise fees to pay the City's portion for the installation of the new style of left turn lights. City Engineer Nafstad reported there are no funds available in the Electric Franchise fees as this is the first year of implementation. Acting Mayor Vetsch encouraged staff to go back to Wright County to ask them to share in more of the expense because it is two (2) county roads that are being considered to switch out the left turn traffic lights. City Administrator Kruse informed the Council that has been discussed at the Wright County level a number of times. One example is the City of Hanover debated looking for the County to pay more for traffic lights because the improvement was with county roads versus city streets. The outcome of this one and others over the last couple of years is that it is Wright County's Policy and Practice to share these expenses 50/50 with each municipality. City Engineer Nafstad reminded the Council that this is a City initiated change in the left turn traffic light, meaning it would be appropriate for Albertville to pay 1 /2 of the expense to install the new style of lights. MAPublic Data \City Council \Council Minutes\2011 Minutes\M 10 -17 -2011 approved (bm).doc City of Albertville City Council Minutes October 17, 2011 Page 6 of 14 Council member Schommer directed City Administrator Kruse to contact (either by phone or via e -mail) the County and that we acknowledge there are other municipalities within Wright County that have protested the shared cost of projects. Ask Wright County to add Albertville to the list of communities within Wright County that would like to see the County paying more of these expenses when it involves two (2) County roads. CMs Sorensen/Schommer motioned to approve a MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR THE INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE OF A FLASHING YELLOW ARROW SIGNAL FOR THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL ON CSAH 19 AT CSAH 37 IN THE CITY OF ALBERTVILLE and directing staff to coordinate the improvement with the Wright County Highway Department as presented with the City's costs coming from the 665 Capital Projects — Other Transportation Fund. Motion carried unanimously. LEGAL Approve the Karston Cove 3 rd Addition - Conditional Second Amendment to the Conditional Use Permit /Planned Unit Development (CUP /PUD) Development Agreement City Attorney Couri began the discussion by explaining in September 2004, Woodside Karston Cove, LLC. entered into a Development Agreement with the Citi of Albertville related to the platting of a number of townhome units per the Karston Cove 3 Addition site and building plan. Within the language of the Developer's Agreement, the municipal improvements were to be installed by October 31, 2005. These municipal improvements were met to service the fourteen (14) lots to the north of 64 Street NE of the plat; however, the southern 29 lots have not been serviced with municipal improvements. Included in the municipal improvements were other items such as landscaping, bituminous drives, sidewalk, etc. The City held the Letter of Credit that was posted by the original developer to secure these municipal improvements. In 2006 -2007, the original developer known as Woodside Karston Cove, LLC. filed for bankruptcy, which the bank declined the renewal of the Letter of Credit. City staff drew on the Letter of Credit for the entire amount of the $460,000 in cash, less any costs associated with drawing on the Letter of Credit, in the event the Karston Cove 3 rd Addition would be developed where the funds would be used to complete the required improvements. Woodside Karston Cove, LLC. transferred the property and the rights to the money the City is holding in escrow to Centra North, LLC. Staff has met with members of Centra North, LLC. who believe that the second phase or the 29 lots to the south cannot meet the City's requirements per the Site and Building Plan that is included in the Development Agreement recorded at the Wright County Recorder's Office. Per staff's comments, Centra North, LLC. has been recommended to revise the current Site and Building Plan to change the building pads of those structures that do not meet the City's requirements for high water level elevations. Centra North, LLC. does not feel this is financially viable in today's real estate market. The second M:\Public Data \City Council \Council Minutes \2011 Minutes \M 10 -17 -2011 approved (bm).doc City of Albertville City Council Minutes October 17, 2011 Page 7 of 14 recommendation made by staff would be for Centra North, LLC. to submit a Development Application rezoning or replat the southern portion where 29 lots would be changed to an outlot. Centra North, LLC. is considering the second recommendation, which is to replat the second phase of the 29 lots into an outlot. Staff reminded the developer that the City would still require to withhold funds necessary to complete municipal improvements. Couri noted that Centra North, LLC. has asked staff to put the consideration on the agenda prior to submitting the application to replat the 29 lots into an outlot for the purpose of assurance that if the developer moves forward with the application the City will release the Letter of Credit funds to Centra North, LLC. City Attorney Couri reiterated the key issues that were noted in the RCA presented to the City Council, which are listed below: • In 2009, the Developer and the City executed an Amendment to the Development Agreement extending the time the developer had to install the improvements to October 31, 2010. This effectively pushed back the statute of limitations (the date by which the City must sue for breach of the developer's agreement or lose its right to enforce the agreement) to October 31, 2016. Effectively, the City can choose to take no action on this issue for several more years without compromising its enforcement rights. • The 29 lots that are proposed to be replatted are currently in the Homeowners' Association, which governs all lots in the Karston Cove 3r Addition. We have asked the Homeowners' Association to consider how the replat may impact the association and to indicate to the Council whether it would be in favor or against a replat of the lots. We have not received a position statement from the Homeowners' Association to date. The association may appear at the public hearing that will be required for a replat of this property. • The City Engineer has identified a number of issues that need to be addressed by the City Council if this property is to be replatted into an outlot. The City Engineer requests that the Council go through the list and indicate which items the Council wants to require be completed if the replat were granted. As an alternative, the Council can wait and decide these items after the public hearing is held on the replat into an outlot. • Approving this Agreement does not obligate the City to approve the replat, but does obligate the City to refund the Letter of Credit money (less the City's expenses) if the replat is approved and Centra North, LLC. completes the items on the City Engineer's memo that the Council requires. Couri reiterated that Centra North, LLC. representative is here, as well as a couple of the Homeowners' Association members with their spokesperson on behalf of the association. MAPublic Data \City Council \Council Minutes \2011 Minutes \M 10 -17 -2011 approved (bm).doc City of Albertville City Council Minutes October 17, 2011 Page 8of14 City Engineer Nafstad reviewed the list of items the City Council would need to address as a necessary requirement to the development. There were seven (7) items Nafstad addressed in his member dated October 11, 2011. These were and not limited to: 1. Record Drawings — Nafstad would like to have `as built' drawings submitted to the City that would depict the public infrastructure in place; 2. Sidewalk along 64 Street NE — installation of the sidewalk along 64 Street NE is controversial to be completed. The sidewalk would be constructed across the two (2) proposed private driveways and would need to be removed or repaired when the southern portion is developed; 3. Construction of Wetland Outlet — Nafstad is requiring a wetland be constructed in the southeast corner of the southern portion of the development to control the design water levels of the wetland. The area needs to be designed or marked to set the boundaries prior to any future proposal of development if the property is replatted into an outlot; 4. Miscellaneous Grading — Nafstad shared the property is maintained; however, it could be graded to allow for continued maintenance as there are ruts or grooves making it difficult to mow; 5. Removal of Silt Fence — according to the City Code, silt fences are to be removed upon completion of a development. This case is unique if the property to the south is replatted to an outlot. There is still some silt fence on the site that would need to be removed; 6. Wetland Buffer Demarcation Signs — Nafstad reminded the developer and Council that wetland buffer demarcation signs need to be placed according to Appendix A- Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 5000 of the Albertville City Code; 7. Street Lighting - Nafstad reported there were two (2) of the three (3) required street lights installed. The installation of the third street light appears to be located near the west entrance of the private driveway that would be constructed with the future development of the property. Nafstad gave additional comments on the sidewalk with the unknown as to how the property would be developed if Centra North, LLC. obtains City approval to replat the property to an outlot. Should the sidewalk be completed now there is the risk that when the property is developed it will most likely be damaged during the construction of the buildings with the trucks hauling heavy equipment across the sidewalks? Acting Mayor Vetsch opened up the discussion to the Homeowners' Association representative. Randy Christenson with HCT Management was speaking on behalf of the Homeowners' Association members. Mr. Christenson pointed out that Tom Dwinnell was present who serves as a member on the Homeowners' Association Board of Directors. Christenson shared that the Homeowners' Association has been completing the necessary maintenance of the northern property to the best of their abilities. The Homeowners' Association has been counting on the completion of the 29 lots to the south to help with the costs associated with the maintenance of the landscaping, sprinkling, snow removal, etc. Changing the southern property into an outlot puts a financial burden on the current members of the Homeowners' Association. As Christenson continued, he brought up the status of the vacant property by stating the homeowners to the north were hopeful the southern property would have been developed. The incomplete landscaping makes the land not pleasing to the eye, which the homeowners living in the development have to deal with. The land does not appear to be properly graded as you can MAPublic Data \City Council \Council Minutes\2011 Minutes\m 10 -17 -2011 approved (bm).doc City of Albertville City Council Minutes October 17, 2011 Page 9 of 14 see the grooves or ruts. True the property may be maintained but having the landscaping would be more appealing to look at instead of the weeds. Christenson responded to City Attorney Couri's comment about not having received a letter. Christenson confirmed that the Homeowners' Association has prepared a letter, which the Association's Attorney is reviewing. The letter will be forth coming as soon as the Attorney has reviewed the letter and the Association incorporates any comments s/he may have into the letter. Acting Mayor Vetsch invited Centra North, LLC. to the podium to share comments they have regarding the request and findings staff has shared. Dale Willis, Centra North, LLC. representative began with the current Site and Building Plan that is included in the Developer's Agreement. Willis agreed with the fact that the current site plan did when platted meet the City requirements; however, since then the City has reviewed and amended the City Code in relation to high water elevations. There are a couple of areas that the buildings will be below the lowest allowable high water elevation. The development was progressing at an average rate until the real estate market began to slowdown. Willis gave the impression this is a valuable piece of land that has been left vacant because the economy has been experiencing tough times. Willis did not understand the concept of maintaining the wetlands. His understanding was once the wetlands are designated and or established they should be left. Staff was sharing that wetland buffer demarcation signs need to be placed to identify where the boundaries are so when it is developed the wetlands are maintained in the manner set by the City /County /and State DNR. Willis confirmed as City Engineer noted, Centra North, LLC. has been mowing the vacant land, which has been graded a couple of times. Council member Schommer acknowledged that she was not going to make a motion without the full Council's comments. Since Mayor Meehan is absent, the motion whether to approve or to make some recommendation will, in her opinion, need to wait until the next City Council meeting so that Mayor Meehan can share his comments on the proposed request. The remainder of the Council was in agreement to honor the request to hold off until the next City Council meeting to make a motion on the Karston Cove 3rd Addition. Willis became frustrated with the Council's decision to hold off. Willis reiterated that this is a valuable piece of property and didn't fully understand why the Council couldn't make a decision. Willis expressed that he came before the Council earlier this year to get guidelines and Willis felt he was following the Council's direction to meet with staff. Willis wanted some indication that if he proceeded with the application to replat the property into an outlot the City would be supportive. Willis was upset because he was not getting any indication or confirmation that if he pursued replatting the City may deny the application. Willis has put a fair amount of money into the land already and was not confident the City would allow him to change the property back to an outlot. MAPublic Data \City CounciKouncil Minutes\2011 Minutes\M 10 -17 -2011 approved (bm).doc City of Albertville City Council Minutes October 17, 2011 Page 10 of 14 Council member Wagner stated that he would be ready to move forward with the amendment to changing the property to an outlot with the majority of the City Engineer's recommendations; however, Wagner wanted to see the sidewalk installed. There are other residents in the area that would utilize the sidewalk besides the Karston Cove homeowners. Council member Sorensen wants to hold off until the full Council is present, and allowing him an opportunity to view the Homeowners' Association letter to the City Attorney. Acting Mayor Vetsch asked for a motion on the Karston Cove 3 rd Addition, which follows: CMs Schommer /Sorensen motioned to table the Karston Cove 3 rd Addition - Conditional Second Amendment to the Conditional Use Permit/Planned Unit Development (CUP /PUD) Development Agreement until the first meeting in November or soon thereafter. Motion carried unanimously. Approve the UTILITY CONNECTION CHARGEAGREEMENT for Patti J's Restaurant /Lot 2, Block 1, Shoppes of Prairie Run Two City Attorney Couri reported that staff met with Tom Clouttier and Sirios Svolopoulos regarding the utility connection charge for sewer and water fees. Couri reviewed the history of the tenant space, which was the initial or original space, which was slated to be a fast food type of restaurant. The SAC and WAC were calculated at 1.14 units for each. It was approximately six (6) months after the building was constructed that the tenant bay changed hands where the next business expanded the seating calculation. The business type changed to a sit -down style restaurant meaning the 1.14 units for SAC and WAC should have been re- calculated to meet the expanded water /sewer usage within the facility. The tenant bay has since changed business owners a couple times to the current restaurant known as Patti J's Restaurant with a sit -down style of seating arrangement. The business owner has inquired about expanding the floor layout to overflow into the next tenant bay that was previously known as BB Wireless. The property owner allowed Mr. Svolopoulos to submit a building permit to construct a doorway that would allow passage between the two (2) spaces. Having knowledge that Patti J's Restaurant was taking over the former known BB Wireless space the SAC and WAC fees needed to be re- calculated because the usage of the tenant bay was changed and would include additional seating. Staff reviewed the calculations that would be applied to the two (2) tenant bays within Lot 2, Block 1 of the Shoppes at Prairie Run Two Addition. The unpaid past SAC and WAC fees presented to Mr. Clouttier and Mr. Svolopoulos are as follows: Units Amount Due Joint Powers WAC 2.36 $ 4,722.36 City WAC 2.36 $ 2,242.00 City SAC 2.36 $10,856.00 MAPublic Data \City Council \Council Minutes \2011 Minutes\M 10 -17 -2011 approved (brn).doc City of Albertville City Council Minutes October 17, 2011 Page 11 of 14 SAC and WAC charges for the ex ansion into the BB Wireless location are as follows: Joint Powers WAC 2.87 $ 5,742.87 City WAC 2.87 $ 2,726.50 City SAC 2.87 $13,202.00 Couri shared that Mr. Clouttier, representing "Shoppes ", does not believe it is fair that he has to pay the past SAC and WAC fees since he believes those should have been collected from the past owner of the building. The attached Utility Connection Charge Agreement represents a compromise between "Shoppes" initial position that "Shoppes" should pay none of the past SAC and WAC fees and the City's initial position that "Shoppes" should pay all of the past charges. Court noted that collection of the past SAC and WAC fees are likely to be difficult without an agreement. The Council does not have to approve or enter into the Agreement; however, staff feels the Agreement to be a reasonable compromise on both sides. CMs Sorensen/Wagner motioned to approve the UTILITY CONNECTION CHARGE AGREEMENT for Patti J's Restaurant/Lot 2, Block 1, Shoppes of Prairie Run Two as presented. Motion carried unanimously. ADMINISTRATION Award the bid to Braun Construction to re- shingle the Old City Hall for $5,395 and the Central Park Shelter for $13,935 with Green Timberline type shingle City Administrator Kruse reported that staff solicited quotes from local vendors to re- shingle the former Public Works /Building Dept. facility located at 5964 Main Avenue NE and Central -City Park Shelter located on Lander Avenue NE and 58 Street NE. The hail storms this past summer caused damage, which the Building Official and Public Works Supervisor worked with the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Adjustor to process a claim. The low quote -bid was from Braun Construction in a total amount of $19,330; 5964 Main Avenue NE in the amount not to exceed $5,395 and Central -City Park Shelter amount not to exceed $13,935. The League of Minnesota Cities Insurance will cover the entire claim less the $1,000 deductable. CMs Wagner /Schommer motioned to award the low quote -bid to Braun Construction to re- shingle the Old City Hall for $5,395 and the Central Park Shelter for $13,935 with Green Timberline type shingle using funds from Capital Reserve 400. Motion carried unanimously.

Further to offer to contract to snowplow the 125 feet of road for $150 per year City Administrator Kruse stated that as part of the agreement the City became owners of ten (10) of the thirteen (13) lots in the Prairie Run Development. Staff is working with the residents in re- organizing the Homeowners' Association along with appointing the Homeowners' Association Board of Directors. The Association will need to elect or appoint members to the Board of Directors that will manage the Prairie Run Development Homeowners' Association affairs. Staff is looking for a Council member or me, City Administrator Kruse, to represent the City of Albertville to serve on the Prairie Run Development Homeowners' Association. Kruse continued by adding the consideration of recommending the City offer to contract to snow plow the first 125 feet of the street for a flat fee of $150 annually, contingent upon the Associations Board of Directors approval to accept the City services to plow the portion of the private driveway. Council member Schommer volunteered to be appointed as the representative on the Prairie Run Development Homeowners' Association on behalf of the City of Albertville's. Acting Mayor Vetsch was not in favor of the City plowing only the first 125 feet of the private driveway. Vetsch thought if the City is going to offer to plow the private driveway to go the length. Vetsch didn't want any potential issues with the plowing of the snow. City Administrator Kruse acknowledged Acting Mayor Vetsch's concern with the snow plowing. Kruse asked the Council to make a motion appointing Council member Schommer to represent the City on the Prairie Run Development Homeowners' Association and to authorize the City to pay approximately $525.00 for City Attorney time to assist the Prairie Run Development Homeowners' Association to amend the By -Laws and facilitate the re- organization of the Homeowners' Association that would include offering the Association the option to consider to contract with the City to snow plow the private driveway at a cost of $150 per year. CMs Wagner /Schommer motioned to appoint Council member Schommer to represent the City of Albertville, owner of 10 lots in the Prairie Run Association empowering this person to vote on behalf of the City on all Association matters and to report from time to time on the status of the Association.
