MOTION TO: Adopt Ordinance No. 2021-11, amending Title 6, Chapter 2 of the Albertville
City Code relating to Animal Control and authorize the publication of a summary ordinance.
BACKGROUND: The number of Albertville residents licensing their dogs has declined with
only a small percentage of households licensing their dogs and the fees collected annually do not
cover the costs associated with the licensing or other costs associated with animal control.
At the May 17, 2021 City Council meeting, the Council discussed the dog licensing process, the
number of dogs currently licensed and the costs associated with the process. The Council
directed City staff to draft an amendment to the City Code section regarding the dog license
requirements. In conjunction with the amendment to eliminate the dog licensing section, City
staff is also recommending amending the ordinance to include language regarding the
enforcement of the dangerous dog laws and other minor changes.
KEY ISSUES:
• The current Albertville's City Code requires all dogs over 6 months of age to be licensed
by the City but only a small percentage of dog owners are licensing their dogs through
the City.
• The fees collected annually for licensing dogs does not cover the City's costs associated
with the licensing
• The ordinance amendment will require dog and cats to have some type of identification
to assist animal control in contacting owners.
• The provisions of Minn. Stat. Chapter and Wright County Ordinance 10-01 will be adopted
by reference to be administered and enforced by the City's Animal Control Authority and
Wright County Sheriff's office.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: Whether the Council would like to amend the
City Code regarding the regulations of dogs in the City of Albertville.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: On average the City collects $1,420 a year in animal
license fees. The fees collected annually do not cover the costs associated with the licensing
(animal tags, staff time, etc.) or other costs associated with animal control.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The City Council has the authority to consider and approve
City licenses and amendments to the Albertville City Code.

Mayor and Council Request for Action
August 2, 2021
SUBJECT: PLANNING AND ZONING—PSYK PROPERTY—TOWN HOMES/MIXED
USE CONCEPT PLAN
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council give direction
to the City Staff and the Applicant on the acceptability of the proposed land use and site design
for the attached concept plans. Action on a concept plan does not convey any development rights
to the applicant. Rather it provides information to allow the applicant to decide as whether they
wish to invest in and produce more detailed construction drawings and file a more formal
development application with the City.
If the development proceeds the following development applications are needed.
1. Comprehensive Plan amendment, changing the proposed land use for the site from
Commercial and Low Density Residential to Commercial and High Density Residential.
2. Subdivision that will create the lots for development and the dedication of the street
rights-of-way.
3. Zoning map amendment changing the zoning for the residential units from R-1 Single
Family Residential District and B-2 Limited Business District to R-5/PUD Residential
Medium Density Multiple Family/Planned Unit Development District. The PUD district
is required to allow multiple principal buildings on one lot.
4. Site and Building plan review.
BACKGROUND: Valerian LLC had submitted a rough concept plan for this site in fall of 2020.
Their concept plan was reviewed and commented on with other proposed land use changes at the
November 12, 2020 Joint Council and Planning Commission Workshop. The consensus from the
group at the joint meeting was to maintain commercial land use along County Road 19,
investigate changing the land use in the northwest part of the City from business campus/
commercial to industrial. Additionally, the group favored maintaining the current polices related
to multi-family development and desired to evaluate changes to the City's proposed land use
plan on a case by case basis.
The 2030 Vision Study outlines the following goals and policies for residential growth in the
City.
Residential
Goal l: Maintain and build attractive residential neighborhoods.
Policies:
1. Promote infill development within existing neighborhoods with homes that share the
same quality and value as adjoining homes.
2. The City is very concerned with the amount of residential rental properties in the City.
There is specific concern for the conversion of owner-occupied single family and
Agenda Page 38
Mayor and Council Request for Action—August 2, 2021
Psyk Property- Concept plans Page 2 of 5
townhome units to rental. The City will continue to enforce its rental ordinance and
property maintenance regulations on all rental properties to insure the properties stay in
proper repair.
Goal 2: Provide a variety of housing options to meet the life cycle needs of Albertville residents.
Policies:
1. The City has identified senior housing with services as a priority need within the
community. The City will work with senior housing providers to address this local need.
2. Albertville has a fair balance of housing densities as well as a large supply of medium
and high density residential land use near its borders within other communities.
Albertville will limit future multiple family developments to locations currently zoned for
multiple family land uses. Except for senior housing, no new locations have been
identified for multiple family land use.
3. Encourage the rehabilitation of substandard multiple family properties that display
deteriorated building conditions, no site amenities, or poor site design through the
enforcement of the City's Rental Ordinance.
4. Adhere to the highest community design and construction standards for new construction
and redevelopment projects.
5. Accompany medium and high density development with adequate accessory amenities
such as garages,parking, open space, landscaping, and recreational facilities to insure a
safe, functional, and desirable living environment.
KEY ISSUES:
• The applicant has provided two concept plans for Council consideration. Both concepts
have a lot 1 (2.09 Acres) along CR 19 being a commercial land use with the balance of
the site Lot 2 (6.96 Acres)being proposed for high density residential. (development
density exceed 10 units per acre is defined as high density)
• The applicant's Letter, Exhibit C, describes the proposed residential development as 12
unit garden residential buildings. These buildings do not fit either City definition of
"dwelling, multiple apartment" or"townhome". Based on the building design, it more
closely fits the City's required performance standards for a"dwelling, multiple
apartment"rather than a townhome.
• The Full Site Concept plan shows the extension LeCenter Avenue and 53rd Street as
public streets serving this development. LeCenter is proposed as an 80 right-of-way
matching the street to the north. 53rd Street is proposed at a 60 foot right-of-way
expanding to 70 feet entering CR.19. These roadways must be part of the subdivision on
the property. By Code, LeCenter Avenue and 53rd Street right-of-way must be platted
and constructed to the adjoining property lines to the south and east. The subdivision will
need to show these right-of-way dedications and the construction plans must comply
with City Street Standards. Staff recommends that LeCenter Avenue be constructed from
Albertville Crossing to the south boundary of Outlot 3 and 53rd Avenue be constructed
between LeCenter Avenue and CR. 19 with this development. The 53rd Street east of
LeCenter Avenue may be a future phase with the development of Outlot 2.
• The subdivision abuts CR.19, any subdivision abutting a County road is subject to
County review. Past subdivisions to the north were required to plat approximately 60 of
Agenda Page 39
Mayor and Council Request for Action—August 2, 2021
Psyk Property- Concept plans Page 3 of 5
right-of-way measured from the centerline of the CR.19. The Concept plans have Lot 1
align with the commercial lots in Albertville Crossing, as such the CR. 19 right-of-way
dedication may already be anticipated.
• The Full Site Concept plan shows the creation of three outlots south of the proposed lots.
In considering this concept plan and change of land use and zoning, Council must also
consider how the proposed development may impact the future land uses and
development of the outlots.
• Lot 2 contains 7 buildings. Access within the Lot 2 will be via private drives. The
concept plan does not connect with 541/z Street to the east to avoid introducing traffic
into this single family neighborhood. The layout of the private streets raise the following
concerns;
1. The private streets must be designed to public street construction standards.
2. In review with the Fire Chief, the long dead end streets in the eastern portion of the
site do not provide adequate fire emergency access. Applicant shall demonstrate
adequate turning radii for a fire truck at the private street intersections and provide a
looped street design through the site.
3. Future utility plans will need to illustrate the FDC and hydrant locations that are
accessible for fire equipment and allow the emergency vehicles to both access and
egress the site in an efficient manner.
• The buildings are proposed to contain 12 dwelling units with upper and lower floor
options, separate doorways, and a single car garage per unit. The site will also offer 59
outdoor surface parking stalls. City Code requires multiple family dwellings to provide 2
parking stalls per unit with one of the stalls being enclosed. The site plans are reliant on a
tandem parking arrangement with parking in the garage and on the garage driveway to
satisfy the require parking standard.
• Both Site Plan options provide separation and landscape screening to buffer and screen
the existing single family neighborhood to the east. Option 1 dead ends 54 1/2 Street with
a cul-de-sac and proposes a storm water pond and landscaping to isolate the development
from the adjoining properties. Option 2, dead ends 54 1/2 Street without a turnaround but
provides separation and landscaping along the eastern boundary. A storm water pond is
shown in the southeast corner of the site to provide some separation to the homes along
Lachman Circle.
• Each of the buildings will contain the following dwelling units, 10 two bedroom units
(1193 sq. ft.), 1 one bedroom unit(805 sq. ft.) and 1 three bedroom unit(1300 sq. ft.).
The total site will offer 70 two bedroom units, 7 one bedroom units, and 7 three bedroom
units. These unit sizes meet the City minimum standards for multiple family units.
• The site plan offers no outdoor recreation amenities that may serve tenants with children.
By code, the City Council may at its discretion require the provision of open space or
recreation facilities to serve the project. The isolated nature of the site makes some open
space and recreation component appropriate.
• The exterior building materials consisting of Hardy or Smart siding and Cultured stone
meet the City's standards for the multiple family projects. The Cultured stone must be
shown to be a minimum of 25% of each exterior building elevation.
• The City's Land Use Plan guides this parcel for commercial land uses extending
approximately 500 feet from the CR.19 right-of-way, and low density residential land
Agenda Page 40
Mayor and Council Request for Action—August 2, 2021
Psyk Property- Concept plans Page 4 of 5
uses lying between the commercial land use and the low density neighborhood to the east
approximately 450 feet wide. The back yards of Psyk 5th and 6th addition establish the
eastern boundary of the site and provides only. 53rd and 54 1/2 Streets serves as street
connection to this area from this neighborhood. The Council will need to determine if the
location, size and configuration vacant land guided for low density residential area is
appropriate for single family residential development; or if an alternative land use or
density is appropriate.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: In November 2020, the City Council decided to
maintain the City's goals and policies in the 2030 Vision Study pertaining to multiple family
residential land uses, but, would evaluate requests for land use change on a case by case basis.
The Council has the authority to consider all land use plan and zoning amendments. Valerian

for changing the land use and zoning, with the understanding the no development rights or
implicit development approvals are conveyed with concept plan review. The site design and
density is subject to change to meet the City Code requirements and City Staff review comments.
If the Council is open to the second option, City Staff would recommend the following items be
addressed in the formal application submission.

Psyk Property- Concept plans Page 5 of 5
7. In light of the aforementioned comments regarding street design, parking, open space and
recreation component a reduction in unit count or in the number of buildings may be

Re: 4125 Sub S-Corp—Development of Pysyk Property
Dear Mr. Brixius:
As you are aware, Valerian LLC is the project manager for 4125 Sub S-Corp,the
purchaser of the northerly portion of what is known as the Pysk Property in Albertville,
Minnesota.
We previously delivered to you and the City two alternative site plans for the
development of the property. For your convenience, attached are additional copies of those site
plans. You requested additional information about the general development plan for the property,
particularly relating to the residential portion of the development, for the City Council review on
August 3, 2021.
The development has two components. The first component is a one story commercial
building consisting of approximately 10,000 square feet located on an approximately 2.09 acre
parcel to be created on the west side of the property. This parcel is identified on the site plans as
Lot 1.
The second component is development of seven (7) garden residence buildings developed
on an approximately 6.89 acre parcel to be created on balance of the property. This parcel is
identified on the site plans as Lot 2.
In response to your questions:
• Each building will be stories tall and will consist of 12 residential units.
• All units will be rental.
• The development will be managed by a third party management company.
• The 12 residential units will probably be comprised of 10 two-bedroom units
consisting of 1,193 square feet, one(1) one-bedroom unit consisting of 805 square
feet and one (1)three bedroom unit consisting of 1,300 square feet. The unit mix
and the size of the units are preliminary but are likely close what the final
EXHIBIT C
Agenda Page 45
Mr. Alan Brixius
July 23, 2021
Page Two
development plan will look like. All buildings will be identical in design, layout
and unit mix.
• Each residence will have a separate entrance.
• Each unit will have one garage. Each garage will be approximately 25'11" by
13W5
• Attached is prototype rendering of the building design. The same product with the
same design is currently being completed in Hugo. The buildings look very nice
and the market demand for this design and product is very strong.
• Also attached are the prototype elevations for the building design.
• The exterior of each building will be a combination of board and batten body
using Hardy or Smart Siding with areas of horizontal 4"reveal lap siding as
accents. All corner and window trim will be Hardy 6" flat board. The bottom 4'
of the exterior will accent cultured stone in a ashlar pattern with a stone cap. The
body of the building will be all white. Windows will be black double hung with
grids (6 over 6). Front doors will be insulated metal with windows. Garage doors
will be insulated metal panels, also in black. Soffits and fascia will be white
aluminum. Roofing materials will be architectural shingle in a dark grey. There
will also be covered exterior balconies and decks for each unit and standing seam
accents over each garage door. Decorative white wall bracelets will be added to
give additional detail and white vented dormers on the roof. The architectural
intent is to achieve a classic contemporary farmhouse look in black and white
with stone accents.
• The Project Architect will be DJR Architecture.
• The Project Civil Engineer will be Civil Site Group.
• The Project Manager is tentatively Saturday Properties.
• We anticipate commencement of construction in late 2021. Occupancy of the
buildings will occur as they are completed, beginning in the second half of 2022.
If you need further or additional information regarding this proposed development,please
call or email me.
Thank you very much for your assistance.

�lbcrtvillc Mayor and Council Request for Action
I f
August 2, 2021
SUBJECT: ADMINISTRATION-APPROVE PARTICIPATION IN THE WRIGHT COUNTY
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and City Council consider
the following motion:
MOTION TO: Adopt Resolution No. 2021-022 opting the City of Albertville to participate in
the Wright County Economic Development Authority.
BACKGROUND: This is item is included for further consideration. At the May 17 City Council
meeting,the City's resolution to participate in the Wright County Economic Development
Authority(EDA)was tabled. Following that meeting, County Commissioner Wetter and
Assistant County Attorney Greg Kryzer provided the City with the following:
If a city or township opts out of the County EDA, they would not be subject to a tax levy for
any bonds that may be issued by the County EDA. MN Stat. 469.1082 Subd. 5 discusses the
opt in provision for a City or Township and states the following at the end of the subdivision:
If a city or township prohibits a county economic development service provider created
under this section from operating within its boundaries,the city's or township's property
taxpayers shall not be subject to the property tax levied for the county economic
developer service provider.
Attorney Kryzer clarified that if a city opts out,they are fully out of the EDA and will receive no
benefits or potential tax levies from the sale of bonds. Mr. Kryzer also recommends not opting out
simply because of a theoretical tax levy and reiterates the purpose of the EDA was not to issue
bonds for development, but rather to sell county buildings, and to potentially also access
federal/state grant dollars, and to better engage with cities on any potential economic development
that may arise.
In addition to the above, it is staffs understanding that the County is considering distributing its
ARPA to its EDA member's.
KEY ISSUES:
• The Wright County Board established the Wright County Economic Development
Authority to guide economic growth within Wright County.
• The EDA operates under the authority of Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.090 through
469.1082 and has more legal authority to pursue the repurposing of public assets than do
counties themselves..
• The EDA will partner with local cities and townships as well as the Wright County
Economic Development Partnership and support their efforts to achieve specific projects
and advance broader initiatives.
Agenda Page 53
Mayor and Council Request for Action—August 2, 2021
Wright County Economic Development Authority Page 2 of 2
• The EDA will seek to access state and federal resources that are mainly available to
larger public development agencies.
• No funding is necessary. While the EDA has taxation authority,the Wright County EDA
has stated it will not levy taxes.
LEGAL ISSUES: The Mayor and City Council have the authority to approve the City of
Albertville's participation in the Wright County Economic Development Authority.

WRIGHT HT U T
&Air ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
What is the Wright County Economic Development Authority?
The Wright County Economic Development Authority(EDA) is a local authority, a subdivision of Wright County with the
primary objective of shepherding economic growth within Wright County.
The EDA operates under the authority of Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.090 through 469.1082.
How was the EDA established?
The formation of the EDA was recommended by an Advisory Committee which included city and township
representatives. The committee met in August and October 2020 and provided a report in November 2020.
In November 2020, The Wright County Board passed a resolution establishing the Wright County EDA.
What will the EDA do?
Facilitate and guide redevelopment of county owned properties.
County EDAs have much more legal authority to pursue the repurposing of public assets than do counties themselves.
The EDA will facilitate and guide the redevelopment of the current Government Center and Health & Human Services
Building located in Buffalo. These two properties are anticipated to be vacated by Wright County staff at the end of 2021.
Partner with local communities.
The EDA will partner with local cities and townships as well as the Wright County Economic Development Partnership
(WCEDP) and support their efforts to achieve specific projects and advance broader initiatives.
Access state and federal resources.
The EDA will seek to access state and federal resources that are available mainly to larger public development agencies.

pkern@delano.mn.us Lee.Kelly@co.wright.mn.us Elizabeth.karels@co.wright.mn.us
What will the EDA NOT do?
The EDA does not intend to enact its own levy.
Agenda Page 55
In establishing the EDA, the Wright County Board was clear that it has no intent for the EDA to levy its own dedicated
property tax. EDA activities will be funded with Wright County resources.
The EDA will be limited to economic development.
Although some county EDAs also exercise powers available to housing and redevelopment authorities (HRAs), the Wright
County EDA's powers are limited to economic development.
The EDA does not intend to lead any development projects except for the development of county owned properties.
With its focus on partnering with local communities and the WCEDP to achieve their objectives, the EDA does not expect
to lead any projects other than the redevelopment of the Government Center and Health and Human Services Building.
The EDA's role will be to augment the resources that other entities are bringing to advance projects throughout Wright
County.
What does local participation mean?
Under state law, county EDAs may operate only in cities and townships that have adopted resolutions electing to
participate in the EDA.
Opting into the EDA
If a city or township chooses to opt into the EDA's area of operation, the entity will be included in the EDA's area of
operation.
Opting in does not impose any obligation, financial or otherwise on the participating city or township.
Opting in allows the participating city or township to take advantage of tools offered by the EDA, which may include tax
increment financing (TIF), tax abatement, business loan programs and grant programs.
Every five years, cities and townships having opted into the EDA may elect to withdraw, per Minnesota Statute, Section
469.1082 Subdivision 5.
Opting out of the EDA
If a city or township chooses to opt out of the EDA's area of operation, the EDA is not allowed to assist any development
project in that community, even if requested by the city or township.
Future EDA levies
If the EDA ever decides to levy an EDA tax, all participating entities will have the option to withdraw from the EDA and not
be subject to the EDA levy.
