8. DEPARTMENT BUSINESS
A. City Council
a. Committee Updates
Planning Commission
Hudson reported that the Planning Commission items will be discussed at this evening's Council
meeting.
STMA Ice Arena Board
Hudson reported the Board is at a critical impasse regarding the Joint Powers Agreement for the
second sheet of ice. He stated that the St. Michael members indicated St. Michael does not want to
utilize the arena's current capital for a second Zamboni for both rinks, but rather the School purchase
their own machine. He stated this item will be a discussion item at the Joint Governance meeting on
October 30, 2017. He stated there are potential consequences if the STMA Ice Arena Board cannot
come to terms on a Joint Powers Agreement. The Albertville Council would like to see all three
entities work together to manage a functioning ice arena. Couri indicated that if an agreement
cannot be reached, future financial contributions will need to be addressed.
B. Planning/Zoning
1). Coborn's Grocery Store Rezoning and Conditional Use Permits for Drive
Through Service Lane and a 5th Gas Pump
Brixius reported that staff recommends changing the zoning for Albertville Crossing from B-2 to B-
3 to coincide with the Comprehensive Plan and to make gas sales a conforming use. He stated that
Coborn's is seeking two exterior alterations: a drive through service lane for Caribou Coffee and
adding a fifth gas pump to the gas station. These two alterations require Conditional Use Permits
(CUP's) and must be reviewed together to ensure proper function of the site. The Caribou drive
through is expected to be 120 feet with a 30 foot drive aisle providing access to the gas pumps and
parking. The applicant will need to use signs and pavement striping to prevent customers from
blocking the drive aisle. Brixius stated there are some concerns with tanker trucks delivering fuel
and the applicant has indicated they will provide the times of delivery and the tanker trucks will be
able to navigate under the canopy.

Regular Meeting of August 21, 2017
Brixius noted the location of the menu board and Cocking had concerns about its location. Hudson
indicated the placement of the menu board was discussed at length at the Planning Commission
meeting and after much discussion the Council felt the best placement would likely be where it is
currently located on the plans and as desired by the ownership group.
Brixius reported that the canopy over the gas pumps will be extended to the east to allow the
addition of the fifth gas pump. He stated the City received the same request in 2006 for the
additional pump, but it was denied due to the traffic and deliveries created by the liquor store. The
liquor store has now moved to another tenant bay in Albertville Crossing and the applicant will not
have deliveries other than fuel at the location; store deliveries will be conducted on the east loading
docks.
Motioned by Vetsch, seconded by Cocking, to adopt Ordinance No. 2017-06 relating to rezoning
of Albertville Crossing. Ayes: Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, Olson and Vetsch. Nays: None.
Absent: None. MOTIONDECLARED CARRIED.
Motioned by Hudson, seconded by Cocking, to approve Resolution No. 2017-021 Rezoning
Coborn's Grocery Store. Ayes: Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, Olson and Vetsch. Nays: None.
Absent. None. MOTIONDECLARED CARRIED.
Motioned by Cocking, seconded by Olson, to approve Resolution No. 2017-022 Approving a
Conditional Use Permit for a Drive Through Service Lane And Additional Gas Station Pump
Located at 5698 LaCentre Avenue NE in Albertville, MN. Ayes: Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson,
Olson and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTIONDECLARED CARRIED.
2). Conditional Use Permit Application from the St. Michael -Albertville School
District for Parking Lot Relocation and Building Expansion at 5386 Main
Avenue NE
Brixius reported the Primary School is looking to relocate their parking lot to the east and to expand
the building by approximately 17,000 square feet. The expansion will require a Conditional Use
Permit. A public hearing was held at the Planning Commission meeting and the Commission
recommended approval of the item by the City Council.
Olson had concerns with the drop off plan referenced in the packet. He stated that if there is a car
turning left, it will back up all right turning cars in the drop off zone. Brixius stated there could be
an option for segregated right and left turn lanes. Nafstad reported that all teacher and busing
parking have been removed, so the lot is for drop off only. Olson stated there are 400+ children
attending the Primary School and felt the south entrance should not be closed or gated off until the
issue is addressed. He felt it would be the same issue they had to address at Middle School West.
Hudson indicated he is hesitant to impose more conditions on the school and suggested that signage
and possibly personnel be used to mitigate the situation. Couri informed Council that the City
Engineer has the authority to require mediation if traffic is impeded and Brixius stated that can be
done any time in the future. Cocking felt it would be easier to complete during original construction
and before school begins. Brixius suggested they add it as an addition condition in the resolution.

Regular Meeting of August 21, 2017
Hudson preferred working with the school to determine if the circulation worked for it and if not,
addressing the issue at that time.
Motioned by Olson, seconded by Hudson, to adopt Resolution No. 2017-023 approving a
Conditional Use Permit for parking lot relocation and school building expansion with conditions
and to add the following condition:
4. "The District's proposed traffic circulation pattern is approved with the understanding
the District will make modifications to the parking lot, if needed, to mitigate any traffic
safety or congestion issues that arise internal to the site or on Main Avenue
NE. Permanent placement of barricades to close driveways will not be permitted. It is
recommended the District revise the current plan to include a driveway sufficient in
width to accommodate three traffic lanes; one lane for traffic entering the site and two
lanes for traffic exiting the site. "
Ayes: Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, Olson and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTION
DECLARED CARRIED.
C. Finance
2). 5 -Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
Nafstad reported that the CIP is used for future purchases and is a fluid document that is very much
subject to changes. The auditors recommend it to be approved annually in order to meet GASB
standards.
Motioned by Cocking, seconded by Vetsch, to approve Resolution 2017-025 entitled a Resolution
