CONSIDER A REQUEST OF DARKENWALD TO REZONE 88.47 ACRES IN NORTHWEST ALBERTVILLE FROM
I-1, LIMITED INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT TO B-2A, SPECIAL BUSINESS DISTRICT
Mr. Brixius presented the Planning Commission with the planning report dated October 3, 2013 to the
Commission for their consideration.
The applicant is proposing to develop this area of the city with land uses consisting of hospitality,
entertainment and recreational land uses. The current I-1 zoning district does not allow for these land
uses. The applicant is requesting the change in zoning without a current development plan. This request
City of Albertville
Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes

is intended to determine if the city is supportive of these land uses and to demonstrate local support of the
development to secure financing.
In review if the rezoning request, city staff offers the following findings. The proposed B-2A zoning
change will be compatible with present and future land uses of the area. The proposed B-2A zoning will
establish performance standards that fulfill the City’s vision for this area of the city. Future site
development will require a formal site and building plan review and a planned unit development before
the planning commission and city council that demonstrates compliance with the B-2A zoning standards.
The proposed B-2A zoning will not tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. Future
development will need to demonstrate that it can be accommodated with existing public services and will
not overburden the City’s services capacity and that traffic generation by the proposed use is within the
capabilities of streets serving the property.
Acting Chair Edgren opened the Public Hearing.
Wally O’Dell of Darkenwald explained to the Commission that this is the first step necessary to move
ahead with this property. Future development will create expanded commercial growth within
Albertville, create local employment opportunities and result in a substantial increase in the tax base for
the City.
O’Brien moved second by Lindberg to close the Public Hearing. Motion carried unanimously.
O’Brien moved second by Lindberg to approve the request of Darkenwald to rezone 88.47 acres in
northwest Albertville from I-1 Limited Industrial District to B-2A, Special Business District and to
forward to the City Council. Motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER REQUEST OF LANCE AND LAYLA BURDA FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR AN
OVERSIZED GARAGE WITHIN THE A-2, AGRICULTURAL TRANSITIONAL DISTRICT FOR THE SITE AT
12455 60TH STREET NE IN ALBERTVILLE
Mr. Brixius presented the Planning Commission with the planning report dated October 3, 2013 to the
Commission for their consideration.
The CUP is required to allow a detached accessory building with a floor area of 2400 square feet in area
and 19.5 feet in height both of which exceed the district standards. In review of the application the city
staff offered the following findings. The subject site is zoned A-2 and is 4.74 acres in size. The proposed
building design and location on the site will be compatible with the adjacent resident uses and does not
present a hazard to the public health safety, and general welfare. The building location meets all required
setbacks. The building design is consistent with the design of the single family home on the site. The
provisions of subsection 400.2F of this ordinance shall be considered and a determination made that the
proposed activities are in compliance with such criteria. Staff expressed concern over the potential use of
the accessory building for commercial use or home occupation in a residential area. In review of the
application the staff recommended approval of the CUP subject to the following conditions:
1. The accessory building and site shall not be used for any commercial use or home occupation.

2. Outdoor storage related to any commercial business on this site shall be prohibited.
3. Any expense associated with zoning enforcement related to a violation of the term of this
conditional use permit shall be the responsibility of the applicant or property owner.
Acting Chair Edgren opened the Public Hearing.
Property owner/applicant Lance Burda stated they have two commercial storage sites for his towing
business. He will not be bringing any storage to his residential property. He does not have a problem with
the conditions recommended by the staff and the Commission for the conditional use permit.
O’Brien moved second by Lindberg to close the Public Hearing. Motion carried unanimously.
O’Brien moved second by Lindberg to approve the request of Lance and Layla Burda for a
conditional use permit for an oversized garage within the A-2, Agricultural Transitional District for
the site at 12455 60th Street NE in Albertville adding the following conditions:
1. The accessory building and the site shall not be used for any commercial business or home
occupation.
2. That the site shall not be used for outdoor storage related to a commercial business, the site shall
not be used as a storage yard.
3. All Conditional Use enforcement fees will be the responsibility of the applicant.
Motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER REQUEST OF RED ROOSTER PROPERTIES, INC. FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR AN
ACCESSORY DRIVE-THROUGH SERVICE LANE ON A PROPERTY AT 5952 LARGE AVENUE IN
ALBERTVILLE. THE PROPERTY IS ZONED B-3, HIGHWAY BUSINESS DISTRICT
Mr. Brixius presented the Planning Commission with the planning report dated October 3, 2013 to the
Commission for their consideration.
The proposed site 5952 Large Avenue is zoned B-3 Highway commercial. This site contains the old
Sunco gas station. The site historically included motor fuel sales, auto repair, car wash, convenience store
and fast food sales. Each use is permitted within the B-3 district. The site recently went through
foreclosure and is now being considered by Red Rooster Properties Inc. for purchase and reopening. The
applicant wishes the fast food component of the site to be a Taco Johns restaurant with a drive through
service window. Within the B-3 district, a drive through service lane requires a conditional use permit. In
review of the CUP application the following conditions must be met:
1. Not less than one hundred twenty feet (120’) of segregated automobile stacking must be provided
for the single service lane.
2. The stacking lane and its access must be designed to control traffic in a manner to protect the
building and will not interfere with on site traffic circulation or access to required parking spaces.
3. No part of the public street or boulevard may be used for stacking of automobiles.

PLANNING REPORT
TO: Adam Nafstad
FROM: Michelle Barness/Alan Brixius
DATE: December 5, 2013
RE: Albertville – Hunters Pass Estates 2nd Addition – Phase II
FILE: 163.06 – 13.13
BACKGROUND
Tollberg Homes has submitted an application for Preliminary and Final Plat approval of
Hunters Pass Estates Second Addition, Phase II of the Hunters Pass Estates PUD. Plat
approval for Hunters Pass Estates was originally attained by the Minnesota Development
Agency, LLC in 2005. Approval of the plat has since expired and Tollberg Homes is proposing
some updates to the original plat, so that additional review and approval by the City is
required. The entire Hunters Pass Estates development consists of 95 single family lots on
76.6 acres of land in the northeast corner of Albertville. Sixty-three single family lots were
developed in Phase I of the development, and Tollberg Homes is now proposing to develop an
additional 12 lots. The site is located to the west of Phase I of Hunters Pass Estates, and is
bounded on the north by 70th Street, on the south by Hunters Lake and on the west by the
Towne Lakes development. The site is zoned R-1A (PUD), and is located within the
Shoreland Overlay District of Hunters Lake.
The Hunters Pass Estates subdivision is based on a concept known as “coving.” Coved
subdivisions utilize curvilinear street patterns and varied front yard setbacks as a means of
providing more visual open space and unique streetscape appearance. Protection of wetland
areas associated with Hunters Lake is also a priority for the subdivision, and impacts how the
development approaches side and rear setback, lot area, lot width, street right-of-way width,
and street width requirements. To facilitate the coved design, the subdivision received City
approval of a PUD to grant flexibility in lot area, width and setbacks.
Attached for reference:
Exhibit A: Preliminary Plat Modification
Exhibit B: Phasing Plan
Exhibit C: Site Location Map
Exhibit D: Development Plan
Exhibit E: Final Plat
Exhibit F: Setback Worksheet

ISSUES ANALYSIS
Existing Conditions. The site is located in the northwest corner of Albertville. Hunters Lake
isolated this site from the remainder of the City. Phase I of the Hunters Pass Estates
development has already been completed, including construction of the internal road system.
The current proposal for Phase II of development is implementing what was approved with the
original plat, with small revisions as described further on in the report. Hunters Pass Estates
Phase II consists of 21 acres of land, including significant wetland areas. The western portion
of the site, adjacent to Towne Lakes 5th Addition, will be developed at a later date.
Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan designates the site for Low Density
Residential Development, of which the proposed development is consistent. The applicant is
proposing a single family subdivision utilizing a “coving” design that integrates with the site’s
natural features. The design will require flexibility from the R-1A District lot area, lot width, and
setback standards. The Planning Commission and City Council must make a determination as
to whether the amenities received in doing a development of this design warrant the requested
PUD flexibilities.
Shoreland Regulations. With approval of the Hunters Pass Estates subdivision in 2005, the
City also granted approval of a requested Conditional Use Permit Planned Unit Development
for the site. The City chose to pursue the shoreland provision for planned unit developments
(Section 4908.75) and processed the application as a standard PUD/CUP. This allowed for
flexibility in lot width, lot sizes, setbacks, etc., subject to the following site and design criteria:
(Section 4908.75)
A. Minimum project areas shall be as follows:
Residential: Ten (10) acres
B. The total density of the site shall not exceed that which is permitted by the underlying
zoning.
C. Individual lot coverage by impervious surfaces shall not exceed thirty percent (30%).
D. At least fifty percent (50%) of the project area shall be preserved as open space, public
or private. Open space shall meet all the requirements of section 4908.62 of this chapter and
shall not include roads, sidewalks, parking areas or building footprint areas. At least one-half
(1/2) of the preserved open space required by this chapter must be in tier 1 of the shoreland
area defined in section 4908.41 of this chapter.
E. Density may be transferred among the tiers and/or structure and parking setbacks may
be reduced to a minimum of seventy five feet (75') from the ordinary high water level; provided,
that all of the following mitigating measures are completed:
1. A natural undisturbed vegetative buffer at least thirty feet (30') in width is
maintained adjacent to the wetland/water's edge of OHW, whichever extends further
landward.
10
2. A planting plan be designed and implemented that enhances or restores the
natural buffer with a combination of grasses, shrubs, and trees appropriate to
complement the natural habitat.
3. Permanent markers shall be installed and maintained indicating the buffer edge
along the entire shoreland boundary.
4. A homeowners association document shall be created and recorded that
includes provisions for maintenance of the shoreland markers, prohibits the use of
fertilizers containing phosphorous in rear yards, and that provides a mandatory penalty
for violations of the homeowners' association and provisions of this chapter.
Project Area and Open Space Coverage. The 2nd Addition project area is 21 acres total, and
will consist of 12 single family lots, Outlot A, and Outlot B. Though only a portion of that area
is currently proposed for development, the proposed subdivision in its entirety appears to meet
the minimum project area requirement of 10 acres. Wetlands and buffers are open space,
protected as outlots and easements over the entire plat. More than 50% of the entire plat
(including the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Additions) will be preserved as permanent open space.
The individual lot coverage by impervious surface requirement shall be met upon completion of
construction of homes on lots.
Wetland Buffer. How the project addresses the required wetland buffer has changed from
Phase I of development. The City Engineer is recommending that lots in Blocks 2 and 3 of
Hunters Pass Estates Phase II be reduced in size from that approved with the original plat, to
allow space for the required wetland buffer area to be external to lots and within Outlot A. The
goal here is to increase the likelihood of the buffer being protected and maintained over time.
Lots in Hunters Pass Estates Phase I contain an easement for wetland buffer areas interior to
lots. However the City has experienced difficulty in enforcing the protection of these buffer
areas, due to the fact that the location within lots is difficult to determine over time as locational
signs are removed, and the buffer itself is mowed by residents who do not wish to maintain it.
The designation of the required wetland buffer area to Outlot A in the current proposal means
that mowing or removal of the buffer becomes a trespass issue, which is more enforceable by
the City. The applicant is requesting that the City permit reduced lot size, reduced rear
setbacks, and small adjustments to house pad locations from that approved with the original
plat in order to implement the wetland buffer in Outlot A. Exhibit A “Preliminary Plat
Modification” demonstrates lot areas approved in the original plat, in addition to reduced lot
areas currently being proposed. In addition, Exhibit F details front, side and rear setbacks for
Phase II lots.
Zoning. The site is zoned R-1A (PUD), and is located within the Shoreland Overlay District of
Hunters Lake. Hunters Lake is designated as a Natural Environment Lake. The following
setback and lot standards are applicable to developments within the R1-A, PUD and
Shoreland Management Overlay District:
11
R-1A District Requirement Proposed
Minimum Lot Area 15,000 square feet 8,220 – 14,510 square feet
Avg. 10,725 square feet
Minimum Lot Width (Interior) 100 feet 61 - 93 feet *
Minimum Lot Width (Corner) 120 feet N/A
Front Setback 30 feet 30 - 58 feet
Side (Interior) Setback 10 feet 10 – 23 feet (house side)
5 feet (garage side) **
Side (Corner) Setback 30 feet N/A
Rear Principal Setback 25 feet 20 feet minimum **
Rear Accessory Setback 10 feet Shall meet requirement
Maximum Building Height 35 feet Shall meet requirement
Maximum Building Lot Coverage 25% Shall meet requirement
Maximum Units per Acre 2.9 units per acre 4.1 units per acre
Shoreland Overlay District (PUD)
Structure Setback from OHWL 75 feet Min. 80 feet
Lot Coverage by Impervious Surface Maximum 30% Shall meet requirement
Project Area Open Space Coverage Minimum 50% Shall meet requirement
Wetland Buffer 30 feet Shall meet requirement
*As measured from the adjusted front yard setback
**Planned unit developments as outlined in subsection 4908.75E, may have reduced structure setbacks when
mitigating measures are completed. Hunters Pass Estates PUD approval allowed for reduced side, front and rear
setbacks, as described in the report.
Plat and PUD approval of the Hunters Pass Estates subdivision in 2005 allowed for reduced lot
areas and setbacks to allow for implementation of the coved subdivision design and increased
protection of wetland areas. Approval at that time permitted side yard setbacks of 5 feet on the
garage side and 10 feet on the living space side (interior lots), 30 foot side yard setbacks on
corners, front yard setbacks of + 30 feet (resulting in a lot width of 80 feet at the front building
line), and rear setbacks of a minimum of 30 feet.
As demonstrated in Exhibit F, setbacks for Hunters Pass Estates Phase II lots coincide with
setbacks approved in the original plat, with the exception of rear setbacks. Upon
recommendation from the City Engineer, lots in Block 2 and 3 have been reduced in size to
provide for a wetland buffer area exterior to subdivided parcels. This reduction in lot area is
tied to a reduction in rear setbacks by 20 feet on impacted lots (given similar location of the
building pad and application of all other setbacks), resulting in rear setbacks as small as 10
feet.
Lot Design.
Low Floor Elevation. Low floor elevations for parcels on lakes must be a minimum of three
feet above the Ordinary High Water Level (OHWL). The OHWL for Hunters Lake is 947.3, in
which case the minimum low floor elevation is 950.3 feet. All building pads in the proposed
development maintain the described minimum floor elevation.
12
Steep Slopes. The site contains areas of steep slopes exceeding a 12% grade, particularly in
lots abutting Hunters Lake. The City Engineer must evaluate possible soil erosion impacts and
development visibility from public waters before issuing a permit for construction of roads,
driveways, structures, or their improvements on steep slopes. When determined necessary,
conditions must be attached to issued permits to prevent erosion and to preserve existing
vegetation screening of structures, vehicles, and other facilities as viewed from the surface of
public waters, assuming summer, leaf-on vegetation. The applicant must adhere to any
recommendations the City Engineer makes in these regards.
Circulation/Access/Street Design. The applicant is proposing to extend 69th Street Circle
NE from the existing Hunters Pass Estates subdivision into the proposed subdivision
expansion. The street will culminate in a cul-de-sac. No additional access to 70th Street is
proposed, but residents will gain access via LaSalle Circle, which connects with both 69th
Street Circle and 70th Street. The applicant is proposing to construct the 69th Street Circle
extension to match right-of-way width and curb-to-curb width as previously approved for the
street in Phase I of development (50 feet right of way, and 28 feet curb to curb). The final
street design is subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer.
Grading and Drainage. The applicant has submitted grading, drainage, and utility plans
which are subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer.
Wetland Mitigation. The applicant has delineated the wetlands on the site. Proposed lots are
located outside of the existing wetland boundary, and wetland areas have been designated as
Outlot A, which will be maintained as a permanent drainage and utility easement.
Landscaping. The applicant has not provided a landscaping plan. The Zoning Ordinance
requires that one shade or evergreen tree be planted per residential lot, which will be required
as part of the development agreement. Additionally, all lots backing onto 70th Street must
contain a minimum 20 foot in depth vegetative buffer consisting of staggered plantings that
meet the City’s screening requirements. This is of particular importance given the expectation
of the City that traffic volumes on this road will continue to increase in the future. The applicant
shall submit a landscape plan indicating the location of the described buffer planting. The
planting plan for Phase II should otherwise adhere to the landscape plan submitted and
approved with the final plat for the Hunters Pass Estates PUD in 2005.
Park Dedication. According to Ordinance Section 11-7-8-2 of the City Code, the applicant is
required to dedicate to the City for park, playground, and public open space purposes a
minimum amount of land or cash, or a combination of the two. Phase I park land dedication
was accomplished with the creation of a park on the north portion of Hunters Pass Estates, just
south of 70th Street. A cash dedication of $3,300 per single family lot will be required for
Phase II of development. The required dedication shall be made prior to the City's release of
the final plat for filing.
Homeowners Association. All property owners in the Hunters Pass Estates 1st Addition are
part of the Hunters Pass Estates Homeowners Association (HOA). The HOA adopted a set of
architectural guidelines to guide Phase 1 lot and subdivision design. Phase II of development
must follow architectural guidelines provided in Phase I of development, and all Hunters Pass
Estates 2nd Addition homeowners must join and adhere to standards provided by the Hunters
Pass Estates HOA.
13
RECOMMENDATION
Upon review of the proposed Preliminary and Final Plat for Hunters Pass Estates 2nd Addition,
it is staffs’ view that the proposed 12 single family lots are consistent with the intent of the
Comprehensive Plan for the subject area. The Planning Commission and the City Council
must determine if the requested flexibilities are acceptable. Staff recommends approval of the
proposed plats subject to the following conditions:
1. The grading and drainage plan is subject to the review and approval of the City
Engineer.
2. The applicant shall install and maintain wetland demarcation signage at the boundaries
of the wetland buffer.
3. The applicant shall provide a landscape plan illustrating a vegetative buffer planting
along the northern border of the site, between Phase II lots and 70th Street. In addition,
one shade or evergreen tree must be planted per residential lot, which will be required
as part of the development agreement. All other plantings shall adhere to the
landscape plan approved with the final plat for the Hunters Pass Estates PUD in 2005.
4. Provide a park dedication fee totaling $3,300 per individual lot, to be paid prior to the
release of the final plat for filing.
5. The applicant shall address any additional comments from City Staff.
6. The applicant shall adhere to established architectural standards (design guidelines) for
the Hunters Pass subdivision, as adopted by the Hunters Pass Estates Homeowners
Association.
7. The applicant shall comply with the recommendations of the Fire Inspector.
8. The final plat shall be brought into the Hunters Pass Estates HOA, and the developer
and Phase II homeowners shall adhere to the HOA declaration, bylaws, and rules, and
any addendums to said standards.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Adam Nafstad
FROM: Alan Brixius/Michelle Barness
DATE: December 5, 2013
RE: Albertville – Food Truck Licensing and Regulation
FILE: 163.05 – 13.16
BACKGROUND
The City of Albertville has recently experienced requests from food truck vendors to be able to
operate in the community. City Ordinance does not currently provide standards specific to the
regulation of food trucks, which have thus far been allowed to operate under a transient
merchant license and a temporary outdoor seasonal sales permit. Currently food trucks are
operating at the Outlet Mall, where food options are currently limited, at public and semi-public
events, including the farmers market and Friendly City Days, and at the local hardware store,
an independent business.
The operation of food trucks in the community raises some questions. In the past, the City has
recommended pursuing opportunities for more restaurants, however the transient nature of
food trucks poses concerns with regards to potential impacts on other food related businesses.
Food trucks are not required to rent or purchase property to conduct their sales, but will
compete against established taxpaying restaurants that have invested in real estate. Should
the City deem this kind of competition appropriate, they will need to establish regulations for
the unique style of operation associated with mobile food vendors. An analysis of local and
regional standards pertaining to food trucks follows. The report goes on to provide
recommendations for adapting the City Ordinance to better regulate these uses in the
community.
ANALYSIS
Existing Local Regulation for Mobile Food Trucks. The City of Albertville currently
regulates the operation of mobile food trucks by requiring interested parties to attain a transient
merchant license (City Code Chapter 4) and a temporary outdoor seasonal sales permit
(Zoning Ordinance Section 1000.22). Neither City Code Chapter 4 nor Zoning Ordinance
21
Section 1000.22 directly refers to the regulation of mobile food trucks, however mobile food
trucks can fall within the purview of the definitions provided for transient merchants and
temporary outdoor seasonal sales, which are as follows:
Transient Merchant: Any person, whether as principal, employee or agent, who
engages in, does, or transacts any temporary or transient business in the city, either in
one locality or traveling from place to place in the city selling goods, wares, and
merchandise, and who, for the purpose of carrying on such business, hires, leases,
occupies or uses a building, structure, vehicle, property, or other place for the
exhibition and sale of such goods, wares, and merchandise. (Ord. 2004-14) (Chapter
4, Section 4-4-2 Definitions)
Temporary Outdoor Seasonal Sales: The temporary sale of agricultural produce,
Christmas trees, flowers and the like sold and conducted by the operators of a
legitimate, established business within the appropriate zoning district in the city.
(Zoning Ordinance Section 200.2 Definitions)
Regulations for transient merchants and those addressing temporary outdoor seasonal sales
generally overlap, and include standards addressing the time and duration of sales, operation
location, and parking and traffic circulation provisions. Transient merchant regulations also
define noise level expectations and overnight storage limitations. Outdoor seasonal sale
regulations also address maintenance and presentation of the outdoor seasonal sale site.
Both the license and the permit require permission from the affected property owner, if different
than the applicant.
Food truck sales may be ongoing throughout the year, and are mobile in nature. As such,
regulation of the use via the transient merchant license alone should be appropriate. On the
other hand, the temporary outdoor seasonal sales permit is directed at short term sales, often
associated with a permanent business, in which case the regulation of food trucks does not
clearly apply. In moving ahead with adapting the Ordinance for the regulation of food trucks,
staff recommends focusing on the transient merchant code and not outdoor seasonal sales.
State Regulation of Mobile Food Trucks.
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 157 Food, Beverage, and Lodging Establishments
According to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 157 Food, Beverage, and Lodging Establishments, a
license is required annually for anyone engaged in the business of conducting a food and
beverage service establishment. To acquire a license, applicants must make application, pay
the required licensure fee, and receive approval for their operation, including plan review
approval. Food truck licensure in Wright County is provided by the Minnesota Health
Department.
State Statutes directly address regulation of mobile food trucks, which the State refers to as
“mobile food units,” or MFUs. MN Statutes Chapter 157 provides the following definition for
food establishments of a temporary or mobile nature, from Section 157.15 Definitions:
22
Food cart. A food and beverage service establishment that is a non-motorized vehicle
self-propelled by the operator.
Mobile food unit. A food and beverage service establishment that is a vehicle
mounted unit, either:
(1) motorized or trailered, operating no more than 21 days annually at any one place,
or operating more than 21 days annually at any one place with the approval of the
regulatory authority as defined in Minnesota Rules, part 4626.0020, subpart 70; or
(2) operated in conjunction with a permanent business licensed under this chapter or
chapter 28A at the site of the permanent business by the same individual or company,
and readily movable, without disassembling, for transport to another location.
Seasonal permanent food stand. A food and beverage service establishment which is
a permanent food service stand or building, but which operates no more than 21 days
annually.
Seasonal temporary food stand. A food and beverage service establishment that is a
food stand which is disassembled and moved from location to location, but which
operates no more than 21 days annually at any one location.
Minnesota Food Code, from Minnesota Rules Chapter 4626
The Minnesota Food Code contains the minimum design, installation, construction, operation
and maintenance requirements for all food establishments in Minnesota. These rules are the
standards with which food establishments must comply in the handling, storing, preparation
and service of food to the retail food consumer. Chapter 4626 defines a “food establishment”
as including an operation that is conducted in a “mobile, stationary, temporary, or permanent
facility, location, or cart, regardless of whether consumption is on or off the premises.”
MN Food Code Chapter 4626 provides very specific regulation of mobile food establishments,
as described in Section 4626.1860 Mobile Food Establishments; Seasonal Temporary Food
Stands; Seasonal Permanent Food Stands. This section of State code regulates different
aspects of food truck operation, including mechanical systems, water supply and disposal,
washing and sanitation facilities, waste disposal, food preparation and cooking areas, and food
preservation/refrigeration. A complete list of state standards can be found in Section
4626.1860.
Minnesota Department of Health
As indicated earlier, the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) is the agency responsible for
plan review and licensing for mobile food units in Wright County. The MDH enforces
regulations provided for Mobile Food Units (MFUs) in MN Statutes Chapter157 and MN Food
Code Chapter 4626. The MDH requires individuals or groups interested in operating an MFU
to submit a “Temporary/Seasonal Plan Review Application” and required fees at least 30 days
prior to beginning new construction or remodeling of an MFU. .
23
The MDH plan review process follows these steps:
1. Applicants submit the plan review application, required information and appropriate fee.
2. MDH plan review staff reviews plans in the order they are received.
3. MDH plan review staff calls or emails applicants when review starts, and to request any
needed additional information.
4. When review is complete, applicants receive a letter reporting the findings of the review
(approval or denial). Plan approval letters will include a license application.
5. Applicants begin construction after approval to avoid costly corrections and delayed
openings.
6. Applicants submit the license application and appropriate fee.
7. Applicants contact MDH to request a preoperational inspection.
Plan submission must include the following:
• A completed plan review application with the required fees.
• Intended menu.
• Description of how food will be prepared.
• Easily readable floor plan layout indicating the location of all equipment (e.g., cooking
equipment, hood, refrigerators, food prep counters, hand washing sink(s), three-
compartment sink, and food prep sink).
• Finish schedule for floors, walls and ceilings.
• Manufacturer’s equipment specifications sheets for all equipment, including sinks.
• Size of water heater, and fresh water and wastewater holding tanks.
• Finishes for counters and cabinetry.
• Commissary agreement, if required.
• List of intended, scheduled events or areas of operation if known.
In addition, the MDH requires that all plans address the following:
• All food and beverage equipment must meet the standards of NSF International and
have an identifiable marking indicating that it meets these standards.
• A ventilation hood and mechanical exhaust system that meets the standards of NSF
International must be provided for cooking equipment that produces grease laden
vapors, smoke, fumes or condensation.
• A three-compartment sink required for sanitizing utensils, dishes and equipment. The
sink must be supplied with hot and cold running water.
• A separate hand washing sink is required and must be supplied with hot and cold
running water, soap and paper towels.
• The flooring must be noncorrosive metal or vinyl flooring or equivalent.
• The interior wall and ceiling surfaces must be smooth, nonabsorbent and easily
cleanable.
Once plans are approved by the MDH and construction or renovation of the MFU is completed,
applicants need to follow the following steps to get licensed:
1. Apply for a license. With the MHD plan approval letter, applicants will receive a license
application. The license fee is separate from the plan review fee. Applicants submit the
24
completed license application and required license fee before contacting MDH to request
a preoperational inspection. They should contact MDH 14 days in advance to schedule a
preoperational inspection.
2. Have the MF unit inspected. Applicants bring the MFU or STF to an agreed public
location (e.g., MDH office) for the preoperational inspection. MDH staff cannot conduct
inspections at a private residence. All equipment should be present (with the exception of
food, which should not be brought into the MFU or STF until MDH approves the unit for
operation).
3. Post the license and decal during operation. MDH issues a license and permanent decal
after approval. Applicants post the original license and permanent decal in the unit at all
times. The license is valid for one calendar year (January 1 through December 31), and
must be renewed annually.
The MHD publication “Mobile Food Unit and Seasonal Temporary Food Stand Construction
Guide” provides specific information on equipment and operations regulations for MFUs, which
are in line with requirements as provided in MN Food Code Chapter 4626, described earlier in
the report.
DISCUSSION
Considerations for Updating the Albertville City Code for Mobile Food Units
The existing Ordinance addresses the transient or temporary nature of operations in a general
way. For example, the temporary sale of Christmas trees at a permanent location year after
year is currently lumped in with retail food sales from a mobile food truck found throughout the
community. As described earlier in the report, the State regulates mobile food units in a
specific way, with special attention to managing the health and sanitation aspects of the use in
line with how a restaurant would be regulated. It would be difficult for Albertville to incorporate
detailed food regulations in the licensure for transient merchants, because as indicated, not all
transient merchants have food operations. However, the City Ordinance can be updated to
define and identify mobile food units as a separate transient use requiring licensure from the
City. The City may wish to group other food related transient uses (food trailers and food
carts) in with the mobile food unit transient use license. This will allow the City to provide
additional regulations specific to these uses in the Ordinance. In addition, once mobile food
units have been clearly defined as a transient use in the Ordinance, the requirement for State
licensure and regulation can be directly referenced in the City’s licensure requirements.
As the temporary outdoor seasonal sales permit is intended to regulate one time, consecutive
day outdoor sales, Mobile Food Unit (MFU) regulation would be better served in combination
with transient merchant regulations provided in Chapter 4 of the City Code, which cater to
ongoing and transient outdoor operations. Concerns that should be addressed in amending
Chapter 4 for mobile food unit licensure include verifying that MFUs have been licensed
through the MN Health Department, requiring evidence that the property owner has given
permission for MFU operations to proceed, controlling location of MFUs on a property so that
they are not located within public right of ways or required parking stalls, and don’t otherwise
obstruct site circulation, establishing guidelines for appropriate setup and maintenance of MFU
25
sites, and providing for a buffer between MFUs and established restaurants or coffee shops.
In addition, the hours of operation for MFUs should be amended to provide extended hours of
operation from that currently allowed transient merchants. Code requires transient operations
to cease by 4:00 PM, but MFUs can better serve food retail needs over both the lunch and
dinner hours, in which case hours of operation should extend into the evening.
The operation of MFUs is appropriate in commercial, industrial, or public/institutional districts,
which should be identified in Chapter 4 licensing regulations for MFUs. In addition, mobile
food units and food carts should be defined in Zoning Ordinance Chapter 0200 Rules and
Definitions.
Finally, the City may need to integrate regulations specific to ice cream trucks in the food truck
transient merchant license. These trucks serve pre-packaged food as opposed to prepared
food and are located in a greater variety of zoning districts, and as such require less stringent
regulatory conditions.
RECOMMENDATION
Albertville City Code Chapter 4 Peddlers, Solicitors and Transient Merchants should be
amended to provide a definition for mobile food units (under Section 4-4-2 Definitions), and to
establish additional specific regulations for mobile food units applying for a transient merchant
license (under Section 4-4-6 Additional Restrictions for Transient Merchants). Mobile food
units should adhere to all general transient merchant regulations provided in Chapter 4.
Additional requirements specific to mobile food units have been provided in a draft ordinance
amendment attached to this report.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Adam Nafstad
FROM: Emily Shively/Alan Brixius
DATE: December 5, 2013
RE: Albertville – Residential Daycare Providers and Home Occupation
Permitting
FILE: 163.05 - 13.12
BACKGROUND
A complaint was received in mid-October regarding a daycare being run out of a
residential property located at 11600 52nd Street NE. The complainant stated that there
was excessive noise coming from the property and inquired as to the regulation of home
daycare and whether there were any conditions related to noise impact on adjoining
properties.
REGULATION OF HOME DAYCARE
State Licensure. Home daycare facilities are licensed by the state. Licensing and
regulation is delegated to county human services departments that are responsible for
issuing licenses, ensuring compliance with regulations, and handling complaints. The
licensing process includes a home visit by the county human services licensor.
Licensees are required to comply with all local ordinances.
The Minnesota Administrative Rule also identifies care providers who are exempt from
licensure (9502.0325 Subp.3). These include:
A. Day care provided by a relative to only related children; or
B. Day care provided to children from a single, unrelated family, for any length of
time; or
C. Day care provided for a cumulative total of less than 30 days in any 12-month
period; or
D. The exclusions contained in items A and B are mutually exclusive.
32
Zoning Ordinance. A review of the ordinance found inconsistencies between
ordinance sections as they relate to residential daycare. Daycare facilities serving 12 or
fewer persons in a single family dwelling are a permitted use in all residential districts.
However, residential daycare is also regulated under Home Occupations (Chapter
1600) and requires a permit or license; this chapter is not referenced in the residential
district section noted above.
Chapter 1600 distinguishes between “family day care” which is a permitted home
occupation and requires a home occupation permit ($30 fee and administrative
issuance) and “daycare - group nursery” which requires a special home occupation
license “which shall be applied for, reviewed and disposed of in accordance with the
provisions of Chapter 400 of this Ordinance.” The special home occupation license fee
ranges from $300/$1,000; Chapter 400 outlines the conditional use permit process and
review standards, including Planning Commission and City Council review.
Definitions. The Zoning Ordinance does not provide definitions for either family
daycare or daycare group nursery; however, Minnesota Administrative Rules Chapter
9502, Licensing of Day Care Facilities provides the following related definitions:
Family day care. "Family day care" means day care for no more than ten
children at one time of which no more than six are under school age. The
licensed capacity must include all children of any caregiver when the children are
present in the residence.
Group family day care. "Group family day care" means day care for no more
than 14 children at any one time. The total number of children includes all
children of any caregiver when the children are present in the residence.
These State definitions appear to correlate with the intended differentiation in the
Chapter 1600 of the Zoning Ordinance. However, they are still inconsistent with the “12
or fewer persons” reference in the residential district section. Further, the definition for
“Daycare Facility” in Chapter 200 of the Zoning Ordinance does not reference number
at all:
DAYCARE FACILITY: Any state licensed facility, public or private, which, for gain
or otherwise, regularly provides one or more persons with care, training,
supervision, habilitation, rehabilitation, or developmental guidance on a regular
basis, for periods of less than twenty four (24) hours per day, in a place other
than the person's own home. "Daycare facilities" include, but are not limited to:
family daycare homes, group family daycare homes, daycare centers, day
nurseries, nursery schools, daytime activity centers, day treatment programs,
and day services.
Zoning Ordinance Requirements and General Provisions. Section 1600.4 lists
conditions that all home occupations must comply with and provides a framework for
ensuring that home occupation activities do not have a detrimental impact on adjoining
properties. The provisions address noise and nuisance issues, hours of operation, and
33
parking along with other standards that relate to compatibility of the use with the
surrounding neighborhood.
COMPLAINT INVESTIGATION
A list of licensed home daycare providers can be found online at the MN Department of
Human Services website (Exhibit A). The property where the complaint was generated
is listed as currently licensed. The DHS online report notes that the initial effective date
for the license at this address was June 19, 2006 and the current license was issued on
June 1, 2013 and will expire on June 1, 2015. The licensee has a capacity of 12
children (10 years of age and younger) at this property. This particular license is for
Group Family Day Care (C2) which requires one adult caregiver and allows up to 10
children under kindergarten age of which no more than one may be an infant and one
may be a toddler (Exhibit B).
There is no record of a home occupation permit being issued by the City for this
address; however, the licensed capacity at this residence is permitted under the
residential district standards.
A review of State licensed providers in Wright County found that 40 residential daycare
providers are currently licensed in Albertville. It is unlikely that any have obtained home
occupation permits or special home occupation licenses from the City.
Complaints regarding licensed (or illegal, un-licensed providers) are handled by Wright
County Human Services Child Care Licensing (763-682-7485 or via e-mail
to dclicensing@co.wright.mn.us). The intake social worker will gather relevant
information and pass it on to a licensing inspector. Complainant information is kept
confidential.
In this case, the complaint is regarding a noise/nuisance issue that is regulated by the
City’s Zoning Ordinance (either under Chapter 5 or Chapter 1600). However, as the
proprietor has not received a City permit, enforcement proceedings are not entirely
straightforward. Furthermore, due to the inconsistencies in the Zoning Ordinance, it is
unclear whether or not the provider is even required to have a home occupation permit.
RECOMMENDATION
Regarding the specific complaint, the care provider at 11600 52nd Street NE could be
contacted and made aware that a noise complaint has been made. This could be
handled in the same or similar manner for any noise complaint under Chapter 5. The
complainant may be advised that the home in question is a licensed daycare provider
and this type of home daycare is a permitted use in the residential district. Any further
issues or concerns should be addressed to Wright County Human Services.
34
Given that there are currently 40 residential daycare providers in Albertville and the
Zoning Ordinance contains conflicts regarding this use, the City needs to determine how
to proceed with permitting requirements for residential daycare providers. The City may
choose to bring existing providers into compliance with the home occupation
requirements of the ordinance and dedicate sufficient staff resources to that effort, or
pursue an ordinance amendment that describes different terms and conditions for
providing residential daycare services in the City.
We are recommending that the Zoning Ordinance be amended to accomplish the
following:
• Add language to the definition of “daycare facilities” to reference State rule
definitions for added clarity.
• Allow state licensed daycare facilities serving 14 or fewer persons in a single family
dwelling as a permitted accessory use in all residential districts (including A-1 and A-
2), subject to the standards outlined in Section 1600.4.A and B (this section should
be amended to allow hours of operation to begin at 6:00 AM to allow for early drop-
off times). This will provide for congruence with State licensure capacity standards
and address potential land use impacts in residential neighborhoods. State licensing
of residential daycare facilities does not permit more than 14 children and a license
at that capacity requires two caregivers. Daycare facilities serving more than 14
children are considered center based child care by the State and would be required
to be located in commercial districts in the City.
• Allow all other listed permitted home occupations as permitted accessory uses in
all residential districts, without requiring a permit or fee, subject to the standards
outlined in Section 1600.4.A. and B. These very low intensity uses include: art
studio, dressmaking, secretarial services, foster care, professional offices and
teaching with musical, dancing and other instructions which consists of no more than
one pupil at a time, and similar uses. These uses do not seem to rise to the level of
needing a permit with administrative review.
• Remove the requirement for a conditional use permit for special home
occupations in Section 1600.3.B and issue permits for these uses
administratively with a $30 license fee. The uses identified as special home
occupations (barber and beauty services, daycare-group nursery, photography
studio, group lessons, saw sharpening, small appliances and small engine repair)
may have greater impacts on adjacent properties and should be subject to staff
review, but do not rise to the level of requiring Planning Commission and City
Council review and higher permit fees.
These changes will allow for existing home occupation uses (including home daycare)
to continue and be subject to performance standards, reduce the requirements for home
occupations that have little or no impact on adjacent properties, and provide for
additional regulatory oversight for home occupations that may have a greater land use
impact in residential neighborhoods. The proposed text amendments are attached for
Planning Commission consideration.

Attachment A
Chapter 1600: HOME OCCUPATIONS
Proposed amendments
1600.1: PURPOSE:
The purpose of this chapter is to prevent unfair competition with business districts and
to provide a means through the establishment of specific standards and procedures by
which home occupations can be conducted in residential neighborhoods without
jeopardizing the health, safety and general welfare of the surrounding neighborhood. In
addition, this chapter is intended to provide a mechanism enabling the distinction
between permitted home occupations and special or customarily "more sensitive" home
occupations so that permitted home occupations may be allowed through an
administrative process rather than a legislative hearing process. (Ord. 1988-12, 12-19-
1988)
1600.2: APPLICATION:
Subject to the nonconforming use provisions of this ordinance, all occupations
conducted in the home shall comply with the provisions of this chapter. This chapter
shall not be construed, however, to apply to home occupations accessory to farming.
(Ord. 1988-12, 12-19-1988)
1600.3: PROCEDURES AND PERMITS:
A. Permitted Home Occupation: Any permitted home occupation, as defined in this
chapter, shall be a permitted accessory use without requiring the issuance of a city
license provided they comply with the requirements of Sections 1600.4.A. and 1600.4.B.
of this ordinance. shall require a permitted home occupation license. Such license shall
be issued subject to the conditions of this chapter, other applicable city regulations and
state law. This license may be issued by the zoning administrator or his agent based
upon proof of compliance with the provisions of this chapter. Application for the
permitted home occupation license shall be accompanied by a fee established by
section 100.10 of this ordinance. If the administrator denies a permitted home
occupation license to an applicant, the applicant may appeal the decision to the board
of adjustment and appeals, which shall make the final decision. The license shall remain
in force and effect until such time as there has been a change in conditions or until such
time as the provisions of this chapter have been changed. At such time as the city has
reason to believe that either event has taken place, a public hearing shall be held before
the planning commission. The council shall make a final decision on whether or not the
permit holder is entitled to the license.
B. Special Home Occupation: Any home occupation which does not meet the
specific requirements for a permitted home occupation, as defined in this chapter, shall
require a special home occupation license which shall be applied for, reviewed and
disposed of in accordance with the provisions of chapter 400 of this ordinance. Such
40
license shall be issued subject to the conditions of this chapter, other applicable city
regulations and state law. This license may be issued by the zoning administrator or his
agent based upon proof of compliance with the provisions of this chapter. Application for
the permitted home occupation license shall be accompanied by a fee established by
section 100.10 of this ordinance. If the administrator denies a special home occupation
license to an applicant, the applicant may appeal the decision to the city council, which
shall make the final decision. The license shall remain in force and effect until such time
as there has been a change in conditions or until such time as the provisions of this
chapter have been changed. At such time as the city has reason to believe that either
event has taken place, a public hearing shall be held before the planning commission.
The council shall make a final decision on whether or not the permit holder is entitled to
the license.
C. Declaration Of Conditions: The planning commission and the councilzoning
administrator may impose such conditions of the granting of a special home occupation
license as may be necessary to carry out the purpose and provisions of this chapter.
D. Effect Of License: A special home occupation license may be issued for a period
of one year, after which the license may be renewed for periods of up to three (3) years
each. Each application for license renewal shall, however, be processed in accordance
with the procedural requirements of the initial special home occupation license.
E. Lapse Of Special Home Occupation License By Nonuse: Whenever, within one
year after granting a license, the use as permitted by the license shall not have been
initiated, then such license shall become null and void unless a petition for extension of
time in which to complete the work has been granted by the council. Such extension
shall be requested in writing and filed with the zoning administrator at least thirty (30)
days before the expiration of the original license. There shall be no charge for the filing
of such petition. The request for extension shall state facts showing a good faith attempt
to initiate the use. Such petition shall be presented to the planning commission for a
recommendation and to the council for a decision.
F. Reconsideration: Whenever an application for a license has been considered and
denied by the council, a similar application for a license affecting substantially the same
property shall not be considered again by the planning commission or council for at
least six (6) months from the date of its denial unless a decision to reconsider such
matter is made by not less than four-fifths (4/5) vote of the entire city council.
G. Reiteration Of License: An applicant shall not have a vested right to a license
renewal by reason of having obtained a previous license. In applying for and accepting
a license, the license holder agrees that his monetary investment in the home
occupation will be fully amortized over the life of the license and that a license renewal
will not be needed to amortize the investment. Each application for the renewal of a
license will be reviewed without taking into consideration that a previous license has
been granted. The previous granting or renewal of a license shall not constitute a
precedent or basis for the renewal of a license. (Ord. 1988-12, 12-19-1988; amd. 2005
Code)
