PLANNING COMMISSION
MINUTES
FEBRUARY 26, 1988
The meeting of the Albertville Planning Commission was called to order
by Chairman Brian Bebeau. Members present included Donatus Vetsch, Don
Berning and Mark Daleiden. Others present included Maureen Andrews,
George Yankeyoupe, John Darkenwald, and Wally Odell of Darkenwald, Inc.
The minutes of the February 12, 1988 meeting were reviewed and approved.
A moition was made by Mark Daleiden and seconded by Donatus Vetsch to
approve the minutes. All were in favor and the motion carried.
The Darkenwald group discussed their project--"WESTWIND". The discussion
included:
* That they have decided against using depluxes as a buffer between
between the single-family residential and commercial development
because of the concerns expressed to them from the builders
who are looking to buy lots to develop. It is their opinion
that these lots will reduce the value of the single family lots
across the street from them. Instead it was suggested that
the plans provide for a berm/tree stand that will physically
provide a barrier between the two types of development.
* There was discussion regarding the size of the lots at the entrance
of the subdivision. It was pointed out that these lots would
be made larger to assist in making a more attractive entrance
to the property.
* That they would be looking at shifting the Becker's driveway
to accommadate for the development in phase one.
* There was discussion regarding th frontages of some of the
lots (those less then 80 feet). ssues discussed included the
possibility of shifting the locat'on of the road or redrawing
the center island of lots so that they all meet the minimum
of 80 feet across. After some di cuss ion the developers said
that they would be willing to wor on plat to get the lots up
to the 80 foot frontage for the Panning Commission
* The developers pointed out they wa ted to be assured that the
Planning Commission understood tha when they have discussed
the apartments that they are using a basic concept that the
complex will be 24 units, but that it will actually depend on
the market place. They feel that Ot is important that there
is some flexibility because of oth r factors that may have some
bearing on the plans.

The other issue discussed included the issue of garages. It
has been pointed out to the developer that in many instances
apartments complexes provide onlu one garage space for each two
apratment units. They made this a point of reference but nothing
needed to be acted on until such time a proposal is brought in.
Another issue discussed on the possiblity of including storage
place within the complex that can be used by the renters.
The only other issue discussed the the need to get the development agreement
prepared as soon as possible so that the developers know what they have
left to do and that the City needs to look at the sign ordinance in reference
to pylon signs~
The Planning Commission discussed some other general issues prior to adjourning.
With no other new business there was a motion to adjourn. The motion
was made by Mark Daleiden and seconded by Don Berning. All were in favor
and the motion carried.
