DATE: June 3, 2015
RE: Albertville – Oldcastle Site and Building Review
FILE NO: 163.06 – 15.07
BACKGROUND
Oldcastle is a manufacturing company currently operating in the City of Albertville.
Oldcastle produces architectural glass for buildings across the country. In 2015,
Oldcastle approached the City to explain their needs for a warehouse and
manufacturing facility. The City has offered to locate a new building for them on a City-
owned lot (Lot 1, Block 2, Barthel Industrial Park 2nd Addition).
Scannell Properties #227 LLC has filed application with the City for site and building
plan approval to allow the construction of a 33,750 square foot industrial building on Lot
1, Block 2, Barthel Industrial Park 2nd Addition. This building will be leased by
Oldcastle.
Scannell is also requesting a conditional use permit to allow deferred parking. The City
Code requires 62 parking spaces, however, Oldcastle has a much lower parking
demand. The conditional use permit will allow for the construction of 31 parking stalls
with 35 stalls reserved through proof-of-parking.
The subject property is zoned I-1 and is presently an empty lot. The site plan proposes
a 33,750 square foot building.
Attached for reference:
Exhibit A: Site Location
Exhibit B: Site Plan
Exhibit C: Grading Plan
Exhibit D: Utility Plan
Exhibit E: Floor Plan
Exhibit F: Building Elevations
Exhibit G: Landscape Plan
Agenda Page 8
ISSUES ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan. The promotion and expansion of Albertville’s local industries is
consistent with the City’s long range Comprehensive Plan. The City’s Vision Plan
establishes the following goals and policies that support this industrial expansion:
Albertville Visioning Study 2012 - Industrial
Goal 1: Promote continued industrial development in order to expand local employment
opportunities and the City’s tax base.
Policies:
1. Pursue an industrial land use pattern consistent with Albertville’s Proposed Land
Use Plan.
2. Aggressively market and promote the sale of its City-owned industrial lots.
Primary focus shall be the retention and in-place expansion of Albertville’s
existing industries.
The City of Albertville has clearly established industrial park development and economic
development as a top priority. Expansion of Oldcastle falls in line with the City’s goals.
The proposed expansion is consistent with the City’s Vision Study goals to retain and
expand the City’s industrial land use, tax base, and local employment opportunities.
The marketing and development of the City-owned lots are an identified priority of the
Albertville Vision Study.
Zoning. The subject site is zoned I-1, Limited Industrial. Oldcastle manufactures and
warehouses glass for buildings. Within the I-1 District, manufacturing, office, and
warehousing are permitted uses. The Oldcastle operation is allowed within the I-1
Zoning District.
Lot Area and Setbacks. The proposed site is approximately 3.20 acres in area and
has a lot width of 515 feet. The lot width exceeds the I-1 District standards. The site is
a corner lot. The following table illustrates that the proposed building meets the
setbacks:
Required Proposed Compliant
Front Yard (south) 35 feet 35 feet Yes
Side Yard on Street (east) 35 feet 170 feet Yes
Side Yard Interior (west) 10 feet 140 feet Yes
Rear Yard (north) 20 feet 65 feet Yes
Maximum Site Coverage. Within the I-1 District, total hard cover is limited to 85%.
The total lot area is 3.20 acres and total hard cover is estimated to be 76,962 square
Agenda Page 9
feet or approximately 55.1% of the total lot area. The maximum site coverage is in
compliance with City Code.
Maximum Building Height. The City recently amended its industrial zoning districts to
allow for industrial buildings of 48 feet in height. The building height will be
approximately 29 ½ feet, which is in compliance with City Code.
The site plan includes a roof plan. However, the roof plan does not indicate any
equipment to be located on the roof. If equipment is to be located on the roof, a plan
shall be submitted which will include type of equipment and equipment height. The
equipment shall be screened from view. Screening shall match the building.
Building Type and Design. Exhibit F illustrates the proposed building elevations.
Please note the use of glass to enhance the building’s aesthetic. Oldcastle intends to
showcase their products with their building design. The exterior materials of the
building will consist of precast concrete panels and glass panels and windows. The
exterior finishes exceed the City’s architectural design standards.
The site plan indicates that the entire building will be sprinkled and have a Fire
Department connection on the east side of the building. No parking shall be allowed in
front of the Fire Department connection to allow Fire Department access.
Site Lighting. The site plan includes a photometric plan that indicates lighting will be
included in the parking lot; the south portion of the property; and the west portion of the
property. However the photometric plan does not specifically indicate the types of
fixtures. The lighting shall be hooded at 90 degrees as to not reflect light onto adjacent
property. In the case of wall pack lighting, the fixtures must be 90 degree cutoff lights
with a shielded light source.
The applicant must provide cut sheets on the light fixtures to demonstrate the 90 degree
cutoff. Staff is concerned that the lighting will not be enough.
Trash Enclosure. Section 1000.14 requires all commercial and industrial properties to
either store trash or recycling handling equipment within the building or within an
exterior trash enclosure designed to match the building.
The site plan indicates two roll-off dumpsters on the west side of the building with no
enclosure around the dumpsters. The site plan includes a landscape berm to the south
and west as screening from the street and adjacent property to the west.
The applicant must provide trash enclosures to contain all trash handling and recycling
equipment. Trash enclosures must be constructed of materials to match the building in
accordance with Section 1000.14 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Parking. Based on City parking standards, the following parking calculations have
been prepared:
Agenda Page 10
Net Floor Space Required
Spaces
Office Use ( 2,215 – 10%) ÷ 200 + 3 = 13
Manufacturing (11,285 – 10%) ÷ 350 = 30
Warehouse (20,250 – 10%) ÷ 1,000 = 19
Total Required: 62
Total Proposed: 31
By ordinance, the proposed building uses are required to provide 62 parking stalls. The
site plan provides 31 parking stalls, which is non-compliant. The site will have two
disability parking stalls which is appropriate for a 31 stall parking lot.
The parking lot design is properly dimensioned with 9 foot by 20 foot parking stalls and
drive aisles 24 feet or wider. The parking lot will be paved and have concrete perimeter
curbing.
The applicant has applied for a conditional use permit for 35 proof-of-parking stalls. The
applicant has indicated that the proposed 31 stalls far exceeds the necessary number
that the business will need. Therefore, the applicant has requested a conditional use
permit to reduce the number of required stalls.
As a condition of the conditional use permit, if on-street parking or parking on-site
outside of designated parking stalls becomes a regular occurrence at the subject site,
the applicant shall be required to install the remaining parking spaces on the site plan
upon notice of the City.
Truck and Trailer Parking. The applicant wants to have semi-trailers stored along the
west side of the building. Within the I-1 Zoning District, semi-truck and trailer parking
are permitted accessory uses. To allow this trailer parking, the site shall be striped into
parking stalls to delineate the location, number, and size of the trailers parked in these
areas. This area shall be used exclusively for the parking of semi-trailers.
Loading Area. The Albertville Zoning Ordinance requires industrial buildings in excess
of 10,000 square feet of floor area to provide a minimum of two off-street loading areas.
The applicant’s site plan shows two overhead doors along the west side of the building.
The western loading area is designed for large trucks and semi-trailers providing
approximately 120 feet of maneuvering area between the building and the west edge of
the pavement.
The truck turnaround area on the west side of the building creates ample space for
clearance and maneuverability. The loading area is properly dimensioned to meet City
Code.
Landscape Plan. Exhibit G is the applicant’s landscape plan. The plan addresses
both the building perimeter and the periphery of the lot. In review of the landscape plan,
we offer the following comments:
Agenda Page 11
1. All landscaped areas will be irrigated.
2. The selected plant materials, both deciduous and coniferous, are hardy for
Minnesota climate.
3. The front parking lot will be screened from the street with the planting of a hedge.
This screening is adequate.
4. The applicant is using a combination of earth berms, Black Hills Spruce, and
crabapple trees to screen the loading area from 52nd Street. This screening is
adequate.
5. Snow storage will be provided at the north end of both the parking and loading
areas.
The landscape plan meets the standards of the City Code.
Grading and Utilities. The City Engineer has reviewed the site grading and drainage
plans. Approval of the site and building plans shall be subject to compliance with the
City Engineer comments.
Easements. There is currently a 30 foot drainage and utility easement that extends
along the west lot line of the subject site. The applicant proposes to extend their
loading area pavement and some landscaping into this easement. In discussions with
staff, the arrangement will not interfere with the function of the easement and is
acceptable. The applicant must recognize that the City will continue to use this
easement as appropriate. Any disruption of private improvements within this easement,
as a result of City work, shall be restored at the expense of the property owner.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Based on our review of the plans submitted on behalf of Oldcastle dated May 19, 2015,
we recommend approval of the site and building plans and conditional use permit for
deferred parking with the following conditions:
Site and Building Plans.
1. The site and building plan illustrate a “striped-out” area on the parking lot next to
the Fire Department connection to prevent obstruction from automobile parking.
2. The applicant provide cut sheets of all exterior light fixtures to demonstrate that
they meet the City’s 90 degree cutoff standard.
3. The applicant must identify any building roof top equipment and provide
screening to meet the City Code.
Agenda Page 12
4. The site plan must include a trash enclosure for trash receptacles that meets the
requirements of Section 1000.14 of the Zoning Ordinance.
5. The City reserves the right to access its drainage easement on the west side of
the property without warning and at the property owner’s expense.
6. The truck and trailer parking stalls shall be striped and clearly marked as truck
and trailer parking. The area must also indicate that no other outdoor storage or
parking is allowed.
7. Subject to comments of the City Engineer.
Conditional Use Permit.
1. The City approves the site plan providing 31 parking stalls and 35 proof-of-
parking stalls.
2. If the parking associated with this site occurs on-street or in areas of the lot not
designed for parking, the City may require the property owner to construct a
portion or all of the proof-of-parking area as a condition of this conditional use
permit approval.

RE: Albertville – Planning Commission Rules
FILE NO: 163.05 – 15.05
The City Council has growing concerns over the Planning Commission attendance and
the need to have a full Planning Commission to hear and provide recommendations on
development applications and City policy. The attached ordinance amends the City
Code, Title 2, Chapter 2, Planning Commission to outline new rules for attendance.
This amendment outlines:
1. Allowance for excused absences for Planning Commissioners for reasons of
work, out of town trips, illness, or other justifiable reasons. To be an excused
absence, the Planning Commissioner must notify City staff at least four days in
advance of the scheduled meeting.
2. The code outlines that if absences are frequent or reoccurring in a given year, it
may be grounds for removal from the Planning Commission.
Attached for reference:
Exhibit A: Draft Ordinance Amendment
Exhibit B: 2015 Development Review Schedule
Exhibit B is the City’s development application review schedule and identifies the
Planning Commission dates for 2015. If meetings are cancelled, we attempt to notify
Planning Commissioners one week in advance.
The role of the Planning Commissioner is important in advising the City Council on
actions for each development request. In this light, full attendance and participation is
needed to ensure each application is fully vetted. We ask the Planning Commissioners
to review the proposed amendment and provide comments and/or modifications for
Council consideration.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Adam Nafstad
FROM: Alan Brixius
DATE: June 3, 2015
RE: Albertville – Central Park Master Plan Amendments
FILE NO: 163.05
BACKGROUND
In 2012, the City of Albertville adopted the Central Park Master Plan to serve as a guide
for future improvements to the park (see Exhibits A, B, and C). Since its adoption, the
City has moved ahead to the identified desired improvements (i.e., caboose and trail
improvements). Since the adoption of the original plan, the Lion’s Park portion of
Central Park has been scrutinized further and the Park Committee has requested some
adjustments to the park design to improve site access and plan layout for functions such
as Friendly City Days, farmers market, and Music in the Park.
Attached for reference:
Exhibit A: 2012 Central Park Plan
Exhibit B: 2012 Park Entrance Concept
Exhibit C: 2012 East End Perspective
Exhibit D: 2015 Revised Park Plan
ANALYSIS
Exhibits A, B and C show the original park plan layout. Exhibit D illustrates the new
proposed plan. The changes involve the following:
1. Entrance. The original plan calls for a pronounced park entrance for Central
Park, including fencing, gateway, and landscaping to be located at the northeast
corner of the park. The revised site plan maintains a pronounced entrance but
relocates the entrance to the center of the lot along Main Avenue. This
amendment is proposed to accomplish the following objectives:
• The relocation moves the entranceway from the railroad tracks. The
railroad is an unsightly feature that would detract from the City’s attractive
Agenda Page 27
park entrance. The new entrance will provide an attractive streetscape
element along Main Avenue.
• The Main Avenue entrance will serve both pedestrians and vehicles. A 12
foot wide path will extend from Main Avenue west through the park all the
way to the parking area. This path is intended to serve as a drive lane for
service vehicles associated with special events (i.e., Friendly City Days,
farmers market, or events occurring at the Depot/stage). This vehicle
access will only be for set up and take down of events. Other times it will
be a pedestrian midway for those enjoying the park or community events.
2. Friendly City Days/Farmers Market. The design changes attempt to facilitate an
improved layout for the City’s annual Central Park events by establishing spaces
for rides, vendors, and displays. The sidewalk and trail arrangements attempt to
provide durable pedestrian ways for residents visiting these events.
3. Depot/Stage/Caboose. These are components of the original plan. The plan
changes attempt to improve access to these areas for both service vehicles and
pedestrians with the following:
• A service drive extends around the caboose to accommodate service
vehicles for deliveries, event set up, and maintenance of the Depot and
caboose.
• A hard surface plaza area is proposed in front of the stage for Music in the
Park seating.
• Sidewalks and path connections are provided to and around the Depot
and caboose to invite people to tour these facilities.
CONCLUSION
The park plan adjustments attempt to maintain the aesthetic components of the original
plan through the park entrance, landscaping, and green space. The adjustments,
however, offer a design that is also focused on the utility of this area of the park for the
community events that it attracts. The Albertville Park Committee reviewed these
amended Central Park plans. The Planning Commission is also asked to review the
plans and make a recommendation to the City Council to formally adopt the amended
plan as the Central Park Master Plan.
