3. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Public Hearing to Consider a Request from Fehn
Companies for:
■ Zoning Map Amendment Changing the Zoning from I-2
General Industrial District to PUD/I-2 Planned Unit
Development/ General Industrial District
Brixius presented the request from Fehn Companies for a Zoning Map Amendment
changing the zoning from 1-2 General Industrial District to PUD/1-2 Planned Unit
Development/ General Industrial District. Looking at the project from a tax increment and
financing perspective and found that have the lot include both buildings on one lot and
overlap the single-family home, it would become a redevelopment tax increment district
and would be to our advantage as far as the amount of tax increment we could capture and
make the project more practical and feasible. Therefore,the following items need to be
approved in order to proceed:
1. A rezoning from 1-2 to PUD/1-2. This change in zoning is needed to allow two
principle buildings on one lot and to tie the outdoor storage area to Fehn Companies
to avoid having the stockpiles and outdoor storage CUP lot being sold to a different
company for continued use without a principle building.
2.Revised Final Plat.
Brixius stated that staff recommends approval of the PUD zoning district with the following
conditions:
1. Within this PUD district the allowed uses shall be the same as the 1-2 General
Industrial District. The uses and performance standards of the 1-2 District shall
guide any future subdivision or reuse of the Lots 1 and 2, Block 1 Fehn Industrial
Park Addition.
2. Within the PUD district the City approves two principle buildings on Lot 1 Block 1 of
Fehn Industrial Park Addition.
3. All site development, operations and uses on Lots 1 and 2 Block 1 Fehn Industrial
Park Addition shall be consistent with the plans and conditions of approval outlined
in the Council resolution 2021-009.
4. The outdoor storage CUP on Lot 2, Block 1 Fehn Industrial Park Addition shall be
accessory to the uses on Lot 1, Block 1 and shall be designed and operated
consistent with the plans and conditions identified in Council Resolution 2021-009.
Within the PUD zoning district conditional use permit for outdoor storage on Lot 2
Block 1, Fehn Industrial Park shall expire if this lot is sold or subdivided.
S. The terms of the PUD district shall be outlined in a PUD agreement and recorded
with the property.
Brixius stated that staff recommends approval for the change of zoning and final plat with
the following conditions (these provisions shall be documented in the PUD agreement and
recorded with the property):
1. Within this PUD district the allowed uses shall be the same as allowed in the 1-2
General Industrial District. The uses and performance standards of the 1-2 district
shall guide any future subdivision or reuse of the Lots 1 and 2, Block 1 Fehn
Industrial Park Addition.
2. Within the PUD district the City approves two principal buildings on Lot 1 Block 1 of
Fehn Industrial Park Addition.

4. OTHER BUSINESS
A. Land Use Discussion - Select Areas
■ Lots North of the Outlet Mall
■ East Outlet Mall Site
■ Mackenzie Avenue Area
Brixius asked Commissioners to have a land use discussion on a few properties in
Albertville.
The first discussion is on the lots north of the Outlet Mall. Brixius spoke about the original
condition of the lots north of the mall and that it is currently zoned commercial.
Commissioners believe that an Industrial use is an appropriate zoning for these lots,
instead of having the current zoning of commercial.
The second discussion is on the east side of the Outlet Mall. Brixius informed
Commissioners about the current condition of the east side of the Outlet Mall and that they
are looking to sell and wondering what the Commissioners thoughts or ideas are for this
area. Commissioners discussed this lot being entertainment, owner occupied town homes,
or multi-family that is high-end, or a Hy-Vee/Whole Foods store. Huggins brought up the
possibility about doing a lake walk around on School Lake that would connect to sidewalks
or bike trails.
The third discussion is Mackenzie Avenue and Brixius stated that it is currently a B-3
Zoning District. Hayden believes that the future stop light that needs to go on that
intersection when the property develops is a deterrent to any developers because they do
not want to take on those costs. Sheila Zachman,with Commercial Realty Solutions,
proposed an office/warehouse type place, and a building with an overhead door. Zachman
stated that there is nothing like that in the Albertville/St. Michael area. Hayden proposed
some commercial use by the cemetery because of the visibility and people driving by.
The last discussion is the Psyk property off of Labeaux Avenue. Brixius informed
Commissioners of the current plan with the Psyk property and that the road north of the
property (LaCentre Ave) would come through the parcel and have the west side be zoned
commercial and the east side be zoned as R-1 single family. The conflict is that what is
being proposed is a medium density town home development. Brixius and the
Commissioners discussed the other Psyk property off of 50th street and the concept plan
that came in for the rental development. The proposed commercial area is currently at 185
feet from Labeaux to LaCentre and Brixius stated that they are looking to increase the lot
size for the commercial section to make those lots a bit more to make it more practical.
Brixius stated that there are no applications or concept plans submitted right now for this
lot, and informed Commissioners that he would like to have an idea of what they are
looking for once plans are submitted or people start inquiring about this lot.
