MEMORANDUM:
TO: Adam Nafstad
FROM: Alan Brixius
DATE: June 8, 2022
RE: Concept plan for Psyk Property West.
FILE NO: 163.05 General
PID: 101-500-013-200
BACKGROUND:
Integrated Properties are interested in acquiring the Pysk Property at the northeast
quadrant of the C.R. 19 and 53rd street intersection. They wish to pursue a residential
land use for his parcel. They have submitted a concept plan for the site and have
requested that the Planning Commission and City Council give them direction on the
acceptability of the proposed land use and site design to determine if they should
pursue formal development applications.
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 applications 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 to low density residential and medium density residential.
2. Subdivision that will create the lots for development the dedication of the street
rights-of-way.
3. Zoning map amendment changing the zoning for the residential land use from R-
1 Single Family Residential District and B-2 Limited Business District to a PUD
Planned Unit Development zoning district. The PUD district is needed to
accommodate the proposed single family lot sizes and a townhome layout
(private streets).
4. PUD development Stage review.
Agenda Page 17
ANALYSIS
Comprehensive plan: The 2030 Vision Study guides the west 500 feet of the parcel
abutting C.R. 19 for commercial land use with the balance of the property guided for low
density residential land use.
The Vision Study policies discourages losing commercially guided land for residential
development. However, the policy plan also states “…the City wishes to be open to
potential land uses and /or development options that may not be in line with the stated
ambitions of the Vision Study.” The city will consider concept plans showing land uses
that different from the Vision Plan’s proposed land use map and will evaluate them for
consistency with the City’s goals and the potential benefit that may be derived from the
development.
The Vision Study transportation recommendations call for the extension of 53rd Street
between Lachman Avenue and C.R. 19 creating a full intersection at C.R. 19. LaCenter
Avenue must be extended between Albertville Crossing to the north beyond 53rd Street
to provide street access to the property to the south.
Zoning: Property is currently zoned a combination of B-2 Limited Business District
along C. R. 19 and R-1 Single family zoning district. The concept plan proposes a
combination single family homes and townhomes for the property. These are intended
to be owner occupied housing which is different from Integrated Properties’ “Preserve at
Albertville” single family rental development.
The concept plan proposes 65-foot-wide single family lots along the existing single
family neighborhoods to the east with townhomes on the west side of the property. A
commercial lot will be retained in the northwest corner of the property abutting
Albertville Crossings. The proposed single-family lots and townhome development will
require a change in Zoning to a PUD zoning district.
KEY ISSUES:
• The Concept plan proposes single family lots along Psyk 5th and 6th addition,
with local street connections into these existing neighborhoods. While the
proposed 65-foot-wide single-family lots are smaller than the adjoining R-1 single
family lots, the land use and housing product is the same and the density is
similar. The Applicants have indicated that these will be owner occupied homes.
This is compatible with the existing low density residential neighborhoods to the
east and the guided land use for this area of the city.
• The City will require the single family lots 11, 23, 27 to be enlarged to meet the
R-1 minimum lot size in width and area. These lots abut the side yards of R-1
lots in the existing neighborhoods.
• The townhomes are proposed to between the proposed single family area and
C.R. 19. These townhomes would be arranged along a private street which will
provide driveway access to the individual dwelling units. The townhome streets
do not interconnect with the single family neighborhood.
Agenda Page 18
• The concept plan provides for the extension of 53rd Street NE consistent with the
City Vision Study. 53rd Street NE is a minor collector street having a full
signalized intersection with CR. 19. 53rd Street shall provide a 60-foot right-of-
way expanding to 70 feet entering CR.19. This street must be part of the initial
subdivision of the property. The proposed concept plan is an opportunity for the
complete build out the CR. 19/53rd Street NE intersection.
• The Concept plan must be revised to show the extension LeCenter Avenue.
LeCenter Avenue shall provide an 80-right-of-way matching the street to the
north. LeCenter Avenue right-of-way must be platted and constructed to the
adjoining property line to the south. The subdivision will need to show the right-of
way dedication and construction plans must comply with City Street Standards.
The need for the required LeCenter Avenue extension will impact the number
and arrangement of the townhomes within the concept plan.
• The extension of LaCenter Avenue south of 53rd Street NE will require its
construction over the drainage ditch/wetland along the south property line. The
location and design of this street extension will be an issue that must be resolved
with the preliminary plat.
• 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 right-of-way measured from the centerline of the CR.19. The
Concept plans a 60 foot right of way dedication for CR. 19. A right-in / right out
access from CR.19 may be available across from the Kingston Crossing access.
This may be a benefit to a commercial property at the northwest corner of this
site. Developer shall be responsible for any CR. 19 improvements required with
this development.
• The Concept plan proposes the full development of the Psyk parcel allowing the
planning and improvements for the entire parcel and connections to the adjoining
neighborhoods and vacant parcel to the south. The proposed concept plan will
allow for the complete infill development of this property.
• Utilities are available to the site at three street locations.
• Integrated Properties will provide examples of the housing products they
propose for the site, for planning commission review.
• In considering the change in land use and the development pattern, the Planning
Commission and City Council must consider the impact this development may
have on adjoining properties and future development requests. In looking at this
property specifically, the proposed low-density residential neighborhood is
compatible with the existing neighborhoods to the east. The concept plan would
preserve on commercial lot along CR. 19 along Albertville crossing, with homes
backing up to a commercial lot and ponding areas along the north lot line. The
parcel to the south is guided for commercial land use, however, this parcel is
physically separated from the concept plan by a large wetland and drainage
ditch. These physical barriers limit the interaction between the sites exclusively
to the Lachman Avenue extension.
Agenda Page 19
CONCLUSION:
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 applications with the City. The planning Commission and City Council is
requested to provide some direction as to whether proposed land uses, and the general
concept plan design may be appropriate for this area of the City.

Mayor and Council Request for Action
June 20, 2022
SUBJECT: PLANNING - RECREATIONAL VEHICLE USE ON CITY STREETS
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Adopt Ordinance No. 2202-05 amending the Albertville City Code, Title 7
Motor Vehicles and Traffic, Chapter 3: Snowmobiles, Recreational Vehicles and Motorized Golf
Carts; Allowing Golf Carts and Class 2 ATVs to travel on local public streets within the City with
an approved City permit and approving summary Ordinance for publication.
BACKGROUND: The City previously permitted the use of golf carts on public streets and
drafted a similar ordinance to address and allow class 2 all-terrain vehicles on public streets . We
have since learned that per Minnesota Statute 169.045 subd. 1 and subd. 2, recreational vehicles
and motorized golf carts are only authorized on public streets with a City approved permit. The
redraft of the ordinance implements a permit system, and outlines the permit application
requirements for golf carts and class 2 all-terrain vehicles be allowed to travel on public streets
within the City of Albertville.
KEY ISSUES: The redraft of the Golf Cart/Class 2 All-Terrain Vehicle code amendment
addresses the following key issues.
• The redrafted ordinance includes items from the previous draft as well as the inclusion of
the permit requirements, process, and application.
• The application process is exclusive to Class 2 ATVs and motorized golf carts.
• Applications must be submitted per vehicle, with each providing proof of individual
insurance coverage.
• Golf Carts and Class 2 all-terrain vehicles may only travel on local streets; they are
prohibited on County and State roadways except when crossing at an intersection.
• Golf Carts and Class 2 all-terrain vehicles are prohibited from traveling on City
sidewalks, trails, and City parks.
• Golf Carts and Class 2 all-terrain vehicle drivers must be a licensed driver and obey the
traffic laws. This prohibits underage drivers from using class 2 all-terrain vehicles on
public streets.
• Hours of operation are limited to daylight hours unless the Golf Cart or Class 2 ATV is
equipped with head lights; taillight, brake lights and turn signals.
• All Golf Carts and / or class 2 ATV must be insured.
• The redrafted ordinance outlines minimum equipment standards for Golf Carts and Class 2
ATVs traveling on public streets.
• St. Michael code allow class 2 ATVs on public street with similar standards.
• City staff recommends setting the fee at ________.

all-terrain vehicle regulations and presented these options to the City Council in May 2022.
Following this, the permit requirement was discovered and implemented into the redrafted
ordinance. The Council is asked to review the redrafted ordinance and determine if the ordinance
adequately addresses the permitting and use of class 2 all-terrain vehicles and motorized golf
carts on public streets in Albertville.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The redrafted ordinance will require administrative
processing and fee collection of the permits to operate class 2 all-terrain vehicles and motorized
golf carts on public streets within the City of Albertville.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: Any licensed driver may operate a class 2 all-terrain vehicle or
motorized golf cart with a valid permit on local streets if the machine meets the equipment
standards and they abide by the regulations of this ordinance amendment and the traffic safety
laws. The City will rely on the Sheriff patrol for enforcement traffic violations.

Mayor and Council Request for Action
June 20, 2022
SUBJECT: PLANNING - SWIMMING POOL FENCE AMENDMENT
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Adopt Ordinance No. 2022-06 amending the Zoning Code, Chapter 1000,
Section 1000.5 C.3, pertaining to swimming pools accessory to single family and two-family
lots and the required fences or enclosures to restrict access to swimming pools and approving
summary Ordinance for publication.
BACKGROUND: The City would like to adopt more specific and understandable language of
pool fence requirements. There have inquiries about allowing pool covers as an alternative to a
fence around the swimming pool. The pool cover is not a barrier that is always active or in place,
as it is removed when the pool is in use, therefore not a sufficient safety measure or enclosure for
a swimming pool. The redrafted code calls for an impenetrable enclosure or fence to prevent
unsupervised children from gaining access.
KEY ISSUES: The ordinance redraft would address the following issues:
• The redrafted ordinance includes more specific, understandable language of the pool
fence requirements.
• The redrafted ordinance defines that a fence or structure needs to be surrounding all
possible pool access points.
• Inground pools have specific fencing performance requirements including a minimum
fence height of 5 feet.
• Above ground pools have specific fencing performance requirements dependent on the
height of the pool wall above ground.
• Above ground pools that have side walls measuring between 24” and 48” in height from
the ground require a minimum fence height of 4 feet surrounding the pool.
• Above ground pools with side walls at or above 48” do not require a fence surrounding
the entire pool area and only requires an enclosure or safety mechanism at the access
point.
• General pool fencing material and design requirements, including locking gate
mechanisms. Fences and gates should not be easy to climb, having minimal hand and foot
holds to prevent children from gaining access.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: Ordinance 1000.5 C.3.a of the Albertville City
Code addresses general building and performance requirements. The Council is asked to review
the draft ordinance and determine if the ordinance adequately addresses the desired fencing
requirements for swimming pools.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 1000.5 C.3.a OF ALBERTVILLE
MUNICIPAL CITY CODE, RELATING TO SWIMMING POOL
AND HOT TUB FENCES
The City Council of the City of Albertville, Minnesota hereby ordains:
Section 1. Ordinance 1000.5 C.3.a., Swimming Pools and Hot Tubs of the Albertville City
Code is hereby amended as follows:
1000.5C: SWIMMING POOLS AND HOT TUBS:
3. Fences or Enclosures To Restrict Access: All swimming pools for which a building permit is
required shall be provided with safeguards to prevent children from gaining uncontrolled
access. This can be accomplished with fencing, barrier, or other enclosure, or any
combination thereof, of sufficient density as to be impenetrable.
a. Inground Pools: Inground pools shall require a fence surrounding the pool area measuring
at least five feet (5') in height. Fences shall be constructed of a noncorrosive material and
shall not be easily climbable (chain link fences must be vinyl coated with slats for
screening). Fences should be constructed to have minimal handholds and footholds. The
size of openings within the fence should be minimized. The bottom of the fence shall not
allow more than four inches (4") clearance from the ground. All fence openings or points
of entry into the pool enclosure shall be equipped with gates or doors. All gates or doors to
swimming pool areas shall be equipped with self-closing and self-latching devices where
the release mechanism of the device is placed at a minimum height of forty-eight inches
(48") from the bottom of the gate on a five-foot (5') fence.
b. Above Ground Pools: Above ground pools shall require a fence surrounding the pool area
at least four feet (4') in height for above ground pools with sidewalls between twenty- four
inches (24") and no more than forty-eight inches (48") in height. The above ground pool
structure itself may serve as a barrier if the top of the pool measures at least forty- eight
inches (48”) above grade and does not require a fence, provided that safeguards are in
place with a locking mechanism to be inaccessible to all small children. Safeguards may
include a ladder or steps designed to be secured, locked, or removed to prevent access, or
the entry point may be surrounded by a barrier such as those described in these guidelines.
Fences shall be constructed of a noncorrosive material and shall not be easily climbable
(chain link fences must be vinyl coated with slats for screening). Fences should be
constructed to have minimal handholds and footholds. The size of openings within the
fence should be minimized. The bottom of the fence shall not allow more than four inches
(4") clearance from the ground. All fence openings or points of entry into the pool
enclosure shall be equipped with gates or doors. All gates or doors to swimming pool areas
shall be equipped with self-closing and self-latching devices where the release mechanism
of the device is and placed at a minimum height of forty-two inches (42") from the bottom
of the gate on a four-foot (4') fence as described above, so as to be inaccessible to all small
children. Prior to filling the pool, the approved fence and/or barrier must be completely in
place and inspected and approved by the city building official.

c. Swimming pool fences shall comply with fence setback standards of section 1000.6 of
this chapter.
d. Required structure or safety fencing shall be completely installed within three (3)
weeks following the installation of the pool, before any water is allowed in the pool,
and prior to final inspection.
Section 2. This ordinance shall be effective upon its passage and publication.

Mayor and Council Request for Action
June 20, 2022
SUBJECT: PLANNING - VEHICLE WEIGHT CLASSES AND LOAD AMENDMENT
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Adopt Ordinance No. 2022-07 amending the City Code, Title 7 Motor Vehicles
and Traffic, Chapter 1 General Traffic Provisions, Subsection 2 Vehicles with Lugs; Vehicle
Weight and Load; pertaining to vehicle weights/sizes permitted on local streets in the City of
Albertville and approve summary Ordinance for publication.
MOTION TO: Adopt Ordinance No. 2022-08 amending Section 1000.15 A.4: Outside Storage,
Residential, Commercial and Industrial Uses and Section 1200.4.F Off-Street Parking
requirements of the Albertville Zoning Code; limiting the weight and size motor vehicles allowed
to be parked or stored on a residential lot and approve summary Ordinance for publication.
BACKGROUND: Currently the City Code and Zoning code limits the size of motor vehicles
parked on local streets or to be stored on residential lot to not more than 12,000 gross weight.
This vehicle description has become obsolete and difficult to measure. Updating the City Code
to include MnDOT vehicle classifications allows vehicles to be easily identified. Implementing
the MnDOT’s vehicle classification scheme is more universal, easily understood, and allow City
officials and law enforcement to provide consistent identification and code enforcement.
MnDOT identifies classes 1-3 as most everyday passenger vehicles such as motorcycles, cars,
and trucks. Class 4 includes recreational vehicles. The majority of vehicles above class 3 are
larger commercial vehicles and do not belong in residential areas.
KEY ISSUES:
• The draft ordinances define and identify vehicles by class using MnDOT’s Vehicle
Classification Scheme.
• The draft ordinances are written to address both traffic and zoning codes independently.
• The draft ordinances specify that vehicle classes 1-3 (per MnDOT’s Vehicle
Classification Scheme) are permitted to be stored, operated, or parked on residential
streets and parking lots, allowing exceptions for deliveries, emergencies, etc.
• The draft ordinances provide an allowance for one class 4 recreational vehicle.
• Vehicles in classifications higher than 4, may still use local streets for public safety and
commercial service and deliveries.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: Albertville City Code Title 7 Motor Vehicles
and Traffic, Chapter 1 General Traffic Provisions, Subsection 2 Vehicles with Lugs; Vehicle
Weight and Load addresses traffic and parking restrictions on local streets. Chapter 1000 General
Building and Performance Requirements Section 1000.15 A.4: Outside Storage, Residential,

establishing the zoning regulation for the installation of building integrated solar energy systems
and approving summary Ordinance for publication.
BACKGROUND: The City has received multiple applications for roof mounted solar panels in
the single-family residential neighborhoods. City staff has treated these applications as
architectural features of the homes. In review of these application, Building Inspection staff
suggested the need for some zoning standards to address the location, setbacks, and design of
solar panel installation. The attached draft code amendment is in response to this staff
recommendation.
KEY ISSUES:
• The Code will only allow for building integrated solar systems. Ground mounted
freestanding systems are not permitted.
• The Code will only allow for roof mounted building integrated solar systems. Wall
mounted systems are being avoided to reduce their impact on the architectural appearance
of the house.
• The Code establishes a setback from the edge and crown of roof.
• The property owner must demonstrate that the roof has the capacity to accommodate the
solar energy equipment’s weight and design, snow loads, and wind.
• Fire access on the roof must be preserved.
• Roof mounted solar on commercial, industrial and institution buildings will be treated as
mechanical equipment and will need to be screened from the public street and adjoining
properties.
• The safety standards are proposed to ensure that the solar energy system is a conventional
system and safety approved.
• A building permit is required for the installation of the any solar energy systems.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: The City has been processing solar panels for
homes in Albertville. The attached code amendment memorializes the standards that have been
applied. These building integrated solar energy systems are treated as an architectural element of
the house and not a separate use of the property.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: All solar panel requests will require a building permit and
related fee.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The proposed ordinance outlines the type, location, and design
of allowed solar energy systems in Albertville. In establishing these standards, we avoid future
issues related to freestanding solar panel requests and larger solar arrays.

Mayor and Council Request for Action
June 20, 2022
SUBJECT: LEGAL - CONTRACT TO REMOVE NUISANCES AND ZONING
VIOLATIONS FROM THE MAEYAERT PROPERTY
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Authorize City staff to retain the services of Trilogy Properties of MN, LLC to
remove or remedy City Code violations from the Maeyaert property consistent with the Wright
County District Court’s April 11, 2022, order.
BACKGROUND: For many years Charles Maeyaert has maintained a number of nuisances,
zoning and other code violations on his property located at 10479 61st Street N.E. in Albertville.
The City ultimately ended up bringing an action in Wright County District Court to enforce its
ordinances and obtained a judgment against Mr. Maeyaert on April 11, 2022, ordering Mr.
Maeyaert to remedy the ordinance violations and authorizing the City to enter on the Maeyaert
property and remedy the ordinance violations in the event Maeyaert did not comply with the
Court’s order within 60 days of service of the order on Maeyaert. That order was deemed served
on Maeyaert on April 18, 2022, which puts the 60-day deadline at June 17.
Given the condition of the Maeyaert property as of June 15, 2022, it is clear that Maeyaert will
not have the property in compliance with the City Code by June 17, 2022. City staff has sought
quotes from contractors to clean up the property and bring it into compliance with the City’s
Code, but was able to secure only one quote from Trilogy Properties. While that quote is priced
at $24,500, it does not include a price for the removal of any of the forklifts or other equipment
from the property as the number and type of pieces on the property changes from week to week
and we are not able to predict what will be there at the time of cleanup. Removal of equipment
will likely be done by Trilogy Properties on a time and materials basis, as will other things that
may pop up on the property in the meantime.
The Court order requires that the City send Mr. Maeyaert a letter five days before we enter the
property to clean it up. That letter was sent on June 16, which will allow the City on the property
on Tuesday, June 21 to inspect the property to get a better idea of the extent of the work to be
done. We will meet with Trilogy at the site on June 16. Cleanup is expected to start on July 5.
KEY ISSUES:
• Maeyaert has until June 17 to remedy all of the ordinance violations on his property.
• City Staff will inspect the Maeyaert property on June 21 with the contractor to determine
the extent of the cleanup.
• Cleanup operations will likely begin on July 5.
• Cleanup will consist of removing all industrial equipment that is not stored behind a
screening fence, junk, auto parts, extra accessory buildings, fill that was placed on the
land, a portion of his existing driveway at the curb, the second, eastern driveway,
property restoration, and removing items that have been placed in the park.

POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: The City has tried for several years to get Mr.
Maeyaert to comply with the City Code. Cleaning up the property is a continuation of this policy.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Court’s order allows the City to special assess the
costs of the cleanup to Maeyaert’s property taxes for collection by the County with 2023’s
property taxes.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Court’s order authorizes the City to clean up the Maeyaert
property and dispose of all materials that are violating City Code.
