8. DEPARTMENT BUSINESS
A. City Council
1). Committee Updates (STMA Ice Arena, Planning, JPWB, Parks, Fire Board, etc.)
Fire Board
Sorensen reported he attended the Fire business meeting. He reported that in 2016 the business
meetings will meet quarterly rather than monthly.
Planning Commission
Hudson reported the Commission discussed the Finken request for shed sales on their property. He
stated that Finken had not been present at the meeting so the Commission was unable to inquire of
the applicant their vision of the sales site. He stated that the City Planner would be following up
with Finken Water to see if they will be able to meet the current performance standards in the Code.
B. Planning/Zoning
1). Corner Lot Setbacks For Side Yards Abutting a Street
Nafstad stated this request was initiated by a resident's request to expand their garage on their corner
lot. The R -lA and R -2 zoning districts have a thirty (30) yard setback for side yard and the request
is to reduce that side yard setback for yards abutting a street be reduced to twenty (20) feet. He
mentioned the other residential single family home districts (R -1 and R -3) have the twenty (20) yard
side yard setback and staff feels that would also be appropriate for the remaining single family
districts of R -lA and R -2. Sorensen commented that he believed the reduced setback would not
negatively impact neighboring properties. Olson inquired if this would also apply for accessory
buildings and Nafstad replied it would.
Motioned by Vetsch, seconded by Sorensen, to approve Ordinance 2015- 07Amending Section
3250.6 (Lot Requirements and Setbacks) of Chapter 3250 (R -IA Residential Low Density Single -
Family District) and Section 3400.5 (Lot Requirements And Setbacks) of Chapter 3400 (R -2
Residential Single -and Two - Family District) in Appendix A (Zoning Ordinance) of the 2005
Albertville Municipal City Code, Relating To Corner Lot Side Yard Setback Regulations. Ayes:
Hendrickson, Hudson, Olson, Sorensen, and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTION
DECLARED CARRIED.

He inquired if the signs could be sold for a fundraiser for possibly FYCC. Council was supportive

reflectivity, and staff will be updating the city's policy this winter.
