PUBLIC HEARINGS — None 8. DEPARTMENT BUSINESS A. City Council 1). Committee Updates (STMA Ice Arena, Planning, JPWB, Parks, Fire Board, FYCC etc.) STMA Ice Arena Board Hudson reported there is a projected deficit for operational budget. Nafstad reported they will need additional staff for the arena and they are considering it prior to opening of the second sheet of ice. B. Planning/Zoning 1). Kwik Trip Rezoning and CUP Brixius reported Kwik Trip, Incorporated is seeking to construct a convenience store with gas sales and car wash on a 3.3 acre site to the north of 1-94 and east of CSAH 19. Currently the site is zoned B -2A which does not allow gas sales or car washes. By rezoning to B-3, these uses are allowed with a conditional use permit. Additionally, the site falls within the City's Shoreland Overlay District which requires a conditional use permit to allow a commercial property to exceed 25% impervious surface. The Albertville Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 13, 2018 and reviewed the development application and staff reports. At the close of the public hearing, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that the City Council approve the zoning map amendment and the three conditional use permits with conditions. Cocking inquired about the number of carwash bays and Brixius replied there will be two bays. Brixius explained the physical barriers unique to the site. He stated there is ditch on the site that is part of the stormwater drainage and that a culvert will need to be constructed with the driveway installation. Hendrickson asked about pedestrian traffic and trail. Brixius replied that the applicant must provide trail easement on the western lot line. Nafstad stated the goal is to have trails on both sides of CSAH 19. City Council Meeting Minutes Page 2 Regular Meeting of March 5, 2018 Cocking had concerns with intersection traffic. Nafstad replied that the addition traffic will impact operations of the signal. Nafstad noted that the intersection was studied as part of the Business Park development and that the intersections will need improvements, including additional turn lanes, which is part of the plan for the CSAH 19 improvements. A representative from Kwik Trip stated that Kwik Trip would be slated to open in 2019; Nafstad added the CSAH 19 improvements are also slated for 2019. Motioned by Cocking, seconded by Hudson, to adopt Ordinance Number 2018-05 approving the rezoning of the parcel from B -2A, Special Business District to B-3, Highway Business District. Ayes: Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, Olson, and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent. None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED. Motioned by Olson, seconded by Cocking, to adopt Resolution Number 2018-006 approving conditional use permits for the gas sales, car wash, and the greater than 25% impervious surface. Ayes: Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, Olson, and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED. Motioned by Cocking, seconded by Hudson, to authorize the City to enter into a Stormwater Management Agreement between the City of Albertville and Kwik Trip, Incorporated. Ayes: Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, Olson, and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent. None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED. Couri reported that the 2003 development agreement requires formal notice to the Albertville Premium Outlet Mall regarding future access through the lots. This is needed for a full intersection. Motioned by Cocking, seconded by Hendrickson, to direct staff to provide formal notice to the Albertville Premium Outlet Mall that the City is requiring the owner of the outlet mall to provide access to the Knechtl property via the private drive located on the outlet mall property east of CSAH 19 as set out in the developer's agreement for Outlets at Albertville Second Addition. Ayes: Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, Olson, and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent. None. MOTIONDECLARED CARRIED. 2). Heuring Meadows — High Density Residential Concept Plan Brixius reported Douglas A. Carlson Development, Inc. has a concept plan for medium and high density residential buildings for the lot. The proposal consists of 168 apartment units in three buildings and 34 quadraminium units. This has a density of 17 units per acre. All units would be rental and market rate. Apartments will have rent $1000-$1700 and $1200-$1800 for the quad units. Currently the site is zoned commercial and the proposal does not align with the land use plan or vision study goals. The increased tax base would be approximately $26,000,000 and there would be park dedication fees of $600,000. The City would also collect SAC/WAC fees for each unit. Brixius stated the applicant would need to plat the outlot. The City would also like to ensure that if the property is sold, it would be sold as one lot, so there would not be different management between the buildings and quad homes. The applicant would also need to work with Wright County regarding access. City Council Meeting Minutes Page 3 Regular Meeting of March 5, 2018 Hendrickson questioned the access to the development and Nafstad replied that a traffic study would be needed. Council discussed improvements needed to 53`d Street NE as well as parking for the apartments. Nafstad stated that a traffic study would determine if the intersection would need a signal system. Cocking inquired about what building type they would start the project with. Hansen replied they would most likely begin with the quad homes. The first apartment building to be built would be along CSAH 19 for marketing purposes and once they see they are or will be reaching 80% occupancy, they move to the next building until all three are built. Brixius inquired about building materials. Hansen replied there will be brick and hard surface siding, no vinyl or steel. Amenities would include a park, exercise room, conference room, community room, and office for on-site full-time management. Hansen addressed rental rates for the apartments, but stated ultimately a market study would be needed. Hudson stated he was not opposed to the concept as this could stimulate commercial development as discussed at the workshop. Cocking inquired if these rental units are not constructed, what is the next closest area to find that kind of housing. Hansen replied Monticello, Rogers, or Elk River, all of which are full. Sarah Hanson, 5474 Kalland Avenue NE, inquired about buffers between the proposed development and the single family homes on the east side of Kalland Avenue NE. Hansen replied it would be addressed in the landscape and grading plans once development plans are submitted. She also inquired about whether the park within the development would be private or public and Hansen replied it would most likely be private. Hanson inquired if the school could accommodate such an increase in student population. Hendrickson stated that there is a bubble of enrollment that has concerned the school, but she is not aware of the specific grades and the schools should be able to accommodate it. 3). Industrial District Amendments Brixius reported staff is seeking to increase industrial building heights and reduce setbacks in I-1 and I-2 districts. They are also suggesting that the minimum lot established in the I-2 area be removed. Olson inquired about fire sprinkling in buildings with increased height and Brixius stated all buildings must still be sprinkled. Olson asked what spurred this change and Brixius replied it came up with the Old Castle expansion but was never formally adopted at that time. As they discussed possible purchase of the City's industrial lot with Shred -N -Go, it was determined these amendments may need to be in place for development. Motioned by Vetsch, seconded by Olson, to adopt Ordinance Number 2018-06 approving amendments to the city's existing code surrounding requirements for building height, lot area and setbacks within the city's I-1 and I-2 Industrial Districts. Ayes: Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, Olson, and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED. City Council Meeting Minutes Page 4 Regular Meeting of March 5, 2018 4). Kennel Ordinance Amendment Hudson inquired if there were any major changes from the Council's last discussion and Brixius replied there were not. Nafstad reported there is currently one private kennel license issued and he inquired of the attorney what happens with that once these changes are made. Couri stated that since it is not a zoning ordinance, it would not be grandfathered in. Nafstad asks because there are nuisance issues with the licensee. Council inquired if these ordinances should be tabled until it's time for renewal. Brixius stated that they would recommend not renewing the license because of the nuisance issues. Couri recommended approving the ordinances now and when the license expires, that language is not in the City Code and there is no longer that type of license to issue. Nafstad stated the license was issued with conditions and they can follow up on the nuisance issues. Motioned by Cocking, seconded by Hudson, to adopt Ordinance Number 2018-07 approving amendments to Title 6, Chapter 2, Animal Control in the City Code and authorize publication of a summary ordinance. Ayes: Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, Olson, and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED. Motioned by Olson, seconded by Hudson to adopt Ordinance Number 2018-08 approving amendments to Section 4500 and 4600 of the Albertville Zoning Ordinance regarding commercial kennels and authorize publication of a summary ordinance. Ayes: Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, Olson, and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED. C. Fire — None D. Finance — None E. City Clerk — None F. Public Works/Engineering — None G.

Interlocal Contract for Cooperative Purchasing with HGACBuy Cocking stated he did not have issues with the contract, but wanted to discuss the city's equipment replacements plan to ensure the taxpayer's are getting the best value. Also to research if there would be value in replacing other pieces of equipment at the same time, similar to what other departments have done. There was general discussion on how the city levies annually to replace equipment based on expected useful life and potential discounts of a larger purchase. Staff will review alternative replacement plans and report back.
