PUBLIC HEARINGS — None 8. DEPARTMENT BUSINESS A. City Administrator's Update Planning/Zoning 1). Albertville Business Park AUAR Distribution Brixius reported that in 2003 an Alternative Urban Areawide Review was completed for the Albertville Business Park, the proposed site for the Mall of Entertainment development. He explained that ideally an AUAR should be updated every five years, but this would is the first update to the AUAR. He reported no activity has occurred at the site, but the Darkenwald's development team has identified new opportunities for the site. The action suggested before Council this evening is to authorize the distribution of the AUAR so that all required agencies and local governments can provide comments or objections on the AUAR. The City must review the AUAR to make sure it addresses all mitigation issues and also respond to all comments or objections received. Brixius clarified the AUAR is not a formal development application, but is merely the first step in a comprehensive development process. Anne Hurlburt, planner with LandForm, explained the AUAR process and why it is needed. She stated the proposed area involved with the AUAR is over 100 acres in size and is mainly undeveloped land. She stated that Welcome Furniture sits on the southeast corner of the site. Publication and comments are regulated by guidelines of the MN Environmental Quality Board. City Council Meeting Minutes Page 2 Regular Meeting of August 7, 2017 Hurlburt explained an AUAR is a changing document and the development team has a revised concept for the area from the 2003 original concept as indicated below: 2017 AUAR Update 2003 AUAR Plan A Plan B Total Project Acreage 111 acres 111 acres Linear project length N/A N/A Number and type of None 260 Multi -Family: None residential units 180 apartments, 80 senior Commercial building 750,000 sq. ft. all • 294,000 sq. ft. • 321,000 sq. ft. area (sq. ft.) uses, commercial light Retail/ Restaurant* Retail/ Restaurant* industrial, office, • 170,000 sq. ft. • 198,000 sq. ft. retail and warehouse Office/Medical Office Office/Medical Office Industrial building area (s . t.) None Institutional building None None area (sq. ft.) Other uses — specify None Mall of Entertainment (sq. ft.) • Admin/Common Spaces 8,840 sq. ft. • Conference 12,000 sq. ft. • Hotel 144,160 sq. ft./ 275 rooms • Indoor Theme Park 100,000 sq. ft. • Water Park 50,000 sq. ft. Structure height(s) One to three stories; Multiple family: up to 4 N/A 18 to 35 feet stories over parking (maximum approximately 60 feet) • Retail/Restaurant/ Office/Medical Office: one to two stories (up to 35 feet) • Mall of Entertainment: hotel portion, up to six stories (approximately 80 feet); remainder, up to 50 feet * Square Feet includes existing 60, 000 sq. ft. retail Hurlburt reported the preferred concept is Plan A that incorporates multifamily into the development. Plan B is consistent with Albertville's Land Use Plan, but Plan A would require amending the City's Comprehensive Plan. The AUAR must review at least one plan that is consistent with the local plan; at this time the City has not reviewed multifamily for that location. If Plan A were to move forward, it would consist of 180 units in one or multiple buildings and 80 age - restricted units in a building for seniors. City Council Meeting Minutes Page 3 Regular Meeting of August 7, 2017 Hurlburt informed the Council that the hotel portion of the MOE project is anticipated to have a height up to 80 feet and the remainder of the complex would be 50 feet. She reported a much more comprehensive traffic study was completed with this AUAR update as much has changed since 2003. Hurlburt addressed the mitigation plan. She indicated the City of Albertville is the Responsible Governmental Unit, or RGU, and is responsible to apply mitigation measures through use of ordinances and regulations. However, the RGU is the not responsible party of the developer's plan. She further explained the permits and approvals that would be needed after comments on the AUAR have been received and responded to. She also reviewed the following impacts of the project: • Land Use — structures may be tall with lighting and signage elements and multifamily may be sensitive to noise. • Water Resources — surface water flows to two impaired waters and wetlands may be impacted • Noise - noise due to construction and traffic Hurlburt introduced Josh Maus with SRF. Maus presented the traffic study and the components used within in it. He stated that SRF completed traffic forecasting for 2019 when the completed first phase (MOE) would be completed as well as once fully developed, potentially in 2040. SRF incorporated assumed projects into their study which include the I-94/CSAH 37 bridge restriping and turn lanes as well as the CSAH 19 expansion from the Albertville Premium Outlets to 70u' Street NE. Several existing conditions that were identified by Maus included: • Queuing and delay issues at the Premium Outlets signal • Sight issues at EB I-94 and CSAH 19 ramp • Queuing and delay issues at I-94 and CSAH 37 Maus reported Phase I of the development (MOE) is expected to generate 3,300 to 4,000 trips per day and Phase II (full build out) is expected to generate 15,000 to 16,000 trips per day. He stated that the expected trips for both phases are expected to be the same regardless if Plan A or Plan B is developed. Cocking inquired about the impact of traffic searching for different routes to I-94 through the Laketowne Drive NE area. Maus responded that is a slower way to get to I-94, but they did consider it in the study. Maus stated the study had the following findings: • Operation issues at the Premium Outlets access to CSAH 19 needs to be addressed • A traffic signal is needed at CSAH 19 and the EB I-94 ramp intersection • Roadway projects need to be coordinated with the opening of MOE • Access from CSAH 19 to EB I-94 will be needed by 2040 Hurlburt reported that the publication and commenting period for the AUAR must occur first before the team can pursue next steps. Cocking stated that he was not sure that multifamily is the best fit in that area. Lazan replied that multifamily housing is a true component of mixed use development. Vetsch stated the property is zoned commercial and he is hesitant to add multifamily. Lazan responded that it provides staffing for the development and creates daytime users/visitors for the development. City Council Meeting Minutes Page 4 Regular Meeting of August 7, 2017 Nafstad inquired how the comments would be processed after the AUAR publication. Brixius replied the City would review all comments, but the development team would respond to them. The two would work together to address the comments. Hurlburt stated they will be sharing the AUAR more widely than is required. Brixius pointed out that all comments may not lead to mitigation measures. Olson inquired when build out will happen and Hurlburt replied they are anticipating fall of 2019. However, she said the soonest the team would be able to come back to Council would be October 2, 2017. Olson inquired if they would have a development application submitted by then and Hurlburt could not confirm. Olson asked how long it would take to build and Hurlburt responded approximately 14-16 months. Couri inquired if the development team foresees any obstacles prior to submitting a formal development application. Hurlburt replied that the AUAR must come first. Nafstad informed Council and the audience that all AUAR documents are available on the City's website. Motioned by Hudson, seconded by Cocking, to approve Resolution No. 2017-020 authorizing the distribution of the AUAR and Mitigation Plan Amendment for the Albertville Business Park project to be sent to the EQB for publication, applicable agencies, and local and regional governments that may be impacted by this development. Ayes: Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, Olson, and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTIONDECLARED CARRIED. 2). Verizon Monopole Tower Update Brixius informed Council that Verizon plans to co -locate on an existing tower and have withdrawn their application from the upcoming Planning Commission meeting. B. City Council 1). Committee Updates (STMA Ice Arena, Planning, JPWB, Parks, Fire Board, FYCC, etc.) There were no City Council updates. C. Finance 1). Tort Liability Insurance Renewal Lannes explained the difference between waiving and not waiving the tort liability limits. She stated the City has waived it in past years, but last year the City did not because of increased costs. Couri explained that most cities do not waive the tort liability limits unless they operate their own law enforcement departments. Cocking inquired if the City would have exposure if they did waive the tort limit and Couri most likely not, but perhaps if in a land use claim. Hudson felt the costibenefit was not worthwhile to pursue at this time. Motioned by Hudson, seconded by Cocking, to not waive the City's monetary limits on tort liability established by Minnesota Statues, Section 466.04. Ayes: Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, Olson, and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent. None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED. D. Public Works/Engineering — None E. Fire — None City Council Meeting Minutes Page 5 Regular Meeting of August 7, 2017 F. City Clerk — None G. Building —None H. Legal 1). St. Michael Sewer Service Agreement — Presentation of Draft Agreement Nafstad reported that staff has been working on a draft agreement to provide the City of St. Michael sanitary sewer service to potentially 180 to 250 homes to be built in a new development abutting the City of Albertville. St. Michael does not currently have sanitary sewer trunk facilities to serve those lots. Nafstad stated both Albertville's and St. Michael's attorneys and engineers still have some minor modifications to the draft agreement to make. Nafstad reported that St. Michael shall maintain the collection system within their city limits and Albertville shall maintain the interceptor line that discharges to the Wastewater Treatment Facility. The agreement will allow for a second outlet to the flood mitigation pond and helps provide flood protection to the Albert Villas properties. He further explained St. Michael would be allowed to discharge wastewater to Albertville for as long as Albertville runs the facility. Vetsch had concerns about more than 250 homes being added to Albertville's system and the impact to the Wastewater Treatment Facility. Couri replied the agreement would be limited to only the 180- 250 homes and the agreement language can specifically state that. Couri clarified that St. Michael will pay SAC charges, trunk access fees, and sewer user fees. Nafstad stated that once all details have been worked out, the agreement will come back to Council for formal approval. Motioned by Hudson, seconded by Olson, to approve the St. Michael Sewer Service Agreement subject to City Attorney and City Engineer review. Ayes: Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, Olson, and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED. I. Administration 1). Albertville Industrial Park Lots — Discussion Nafstad reported that staff has been approached by two different businesses interested in purchasing a City -owned lot in the Industrial Park. Staff was approached about a year ago and they sent a proposal letter about conveying the land and tax increment financing. That company is once again interested, but staff has since received another inquiry about purchasing the lot and potentially the adjacent farm. Nafstad states staff will be communicating with both groups to get a better understanding of where each is at. Nafstad stated he only wanted to introduce the item tonight and expects more discussion in the near future. 2). City Administrator's Update Nafstad stated that St. Michael has invited the Albertville City Council and staff to their annual Daze and Knights Festival on Friday, August 14, 2017. St. Michael will be holding a social hour. 9.
