lung cancer for
non-smokers.Only 1 out of 5 lung cancer
patients are living 5 years after
diagnosis.
Minnesota’s
radon levels are
more than 3x
higher than the
rest of the
United States.
2 out of 5 Minnesota homes have
high radon levels.

Radon is a colorless and odorless gas found in the soil and common throughout Minnesota. Because soil is porous,
radon moves up from the soil and into the home. The gas can accumulate in the air we breathe becoming a health
concern. Radon gas decays into f ine particles that are radioactive. When inhaled, these f ine particles can damage the
lung. Exposure to radon over a long period of time can lead to lung cancer.
Radon is a serious public health concern in Minnesota. The average radon level in Minnesota is more than three
times higher than the U.S. radon level. In Minnesota, more than two in f ive homes have radon levels that pose a
signif icant health risk.
Any radon level poses some health risk and it is not possible to reduce radon to zero. The best approach is to lower
the radon level as much as possible. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set the action level at 4
pCi/L (picocuries of radon per liter of air). At 4 pCi/L or higher it is recommended to install a radon mitigation
system to reduce the radon levels.
MDH recommends all Minnesotans test their home for radon. A radon test is the only way to f ind out how much
radon is in your home. You can test your home yourself. Start with a short-term test. Your local health department
or government agency may of fer test kits at reduced prices. You can also order a short-term radon test kit at
mn.radon.com. If the radon is high, hire a licensed radon professional to install a radon mitigation system. Licensed
radon professionals are on MDH’s website at mn.gov/radonpro.
You can find more information on radon, including ordering a radon test kit and how to understand your radon test
result, at mn.gov/radon.

TEST
What is radon?
Radon is a colorless and odorless gas found in the soil and common
throughout Minnesota. Because soil is porous, radon moves up from
the soil and into the home. The gas can accumulate in the air we
breathe becoming a health concern.
Why is it a health concern?
Radon gas decays into small particles that are radioactive and when
we inhale these small particles they can damage the lung. Exposure
to radon over a long period of time can lead to lung cancer. In
Minnesota, more than two in five homes have radon levels that pose
a significant health risk.
Percent of MN Properties Tested
for Radon that are ≥ 4 pCi/L
(Years 2010 – 2020)
16% – 35%
36% – 50%
51% – 64%
65% – 80%
What is a safe level of radon?
Any radon level poses some health risk and it is not possible to reduce
radon to zero. The best approach is to lower the radon level as much
as possible. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set the
action level at 4 pCi/L (picocuries of radon per liter of air). At 4 pCi/L
or higher it is recommended a radon mitigation system is installed to
reduce the radon level.
What can I do?
MDH recommends all Minnesotans test their home for radon. A
radon test is the only way to find out how much radon is in your
home. You can test your home yourself or hire a licensed professional.
The result from a properly performed test will help you decide if you
need to reduce your home’s radon levels.
Test for radon
The two basic radon tests available are a short-
term and a long-term test. Do a short-term
test first. Your local health department or
government agency may offer test kits at
reduced prices. Information on where to find
radon test kits can be found at the MDH
website. When buying a home consider hiring a licensed radon
professional to perform the test. The back of this guide provides
recommended actions to take based on the test results.
Reduce radon – if high
If radon is high, hire a licensed radon
professional to install a radon mitigation
system. Radon mitigation systems use a fan to
pull air from the soil and exhaust it outdoors.
All systems should reduce radon below the
EPA action level of 4 pCi/L. Once installed,
the licensed professional will place a tag on the system. Call
MDH if you have questions or wish to request an inspection.

Mayor and Council Request for Action
February 6, 2023
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING – LEGAL – REQUEST TO VACATE A PORTION OF
2ND STREET AND LAMONT AVENUE WITHIN THE TOWNSITE OF
HAMBURG
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Adopt Resolution No. 2023-06 vacating a portion of 2nd Street and Lamont
Avenue (F.K.A. Pacific Avenue) within the Townsite of Hamburg in the City of Albertville.
BACKGROUND: Last fall the City granted preliminary plat approval to the Particle Control
Albertville plat, pending approval by the Wright County Highway Department of the proposed
access to CSAH 137, which has since been granted. That approval will allow the eastern access
to the Particle Control property to be moved farther east, therefore allowing for the vacation of a
portion of Second Street which will now become part of Lot 1 on the revised final plat.
The issue before the Council now is whether to vacate that portion of 2nd Street and Lamont
Avenue shown on the attachment to this memo.
KEY ISSUES:
• The portion of 2nd Street proposed to be vacated is mostly grass and has never been
developed as a street.
• The portion of Lamont Avenue proposed to be vacated is a gravel City Street that has
been used by Particle Control as a driveway for many years, and currently connects to
60th Street to the South.
• Two residential properties abut on either side of Lamont and front on 60th Street. One of
these properties accesses their property from a driveway on 60th Street. The other
property uses Lamont to access their property, but the portion of Lamont used by this
property owner is not proposed to be vacated. The remainder of Lamont used by this
property owner will still access 60th Street and will leave their access to their property
from 60th Street unchanged but will no longer permit access from County Highway 137
south on Lamont Avenue.
• The Barthel property abutting 2nd Street will have access directly to County Highway
137 from a portion of 2nd Street that will remain unvacated. The access to Highway 137
across the unvacated portion of 2nd Street will be constructed by Particle Control.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: Albertville has vacated streets in the past when
they have not been used for decades, or have been underutilized because alternative access
exists. The portion of 2nd Street proposed to be vacated has not been built out at least since State
Highway 152 came through Albertville in the 1950s or 1960s (and it may never have been
constructed since its platting in the early 1900s—we have not gone back that far in history). The
portion of Lamont proposed to be vacated is a gravel street that appears to be little used except
by Particle Control.

Mayor and Council Request for Action – February 6, 2023
Public Hearing – Vacation of Part of 2nd Street Page 2 of 2
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: Vacation of the roads is projected to have no financial
impact upon the City.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The City Council has the ability to vacate roads within the City
upon a vote of 4/5ths of the City Council if it appears in the public interest to do so.

SUBJECT: LEGAL – PARTICLE CONTROL DEVELOPER’S AGREEMENT
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Approve Particle Control Developer’s Agreement.
BACKGROUND: Last fall the City granted preliminary plat approval to the Particle Control
Albertville plat, pending approval by the Wright County Highway Department of the proposed
access to CSAH 137, which has since been granted. That approval will allow the eastern access
to the Particle Control property to be moved farther east, therefore allowing for the vacation of a
portion of Second Street which will now become part of Lot 1 on the revised final plat.
This developer’s agreement is a typical City PUD developer’s agreement, incorporating the
conditions of both the Council’s plat and zoning approval.
KEY ISSUES:
• The Property will comply with the B-3 zoning district, except for the PUD elements
contained in the rezoning approval.
• The only municipal improvements to be constructed will be two culverts that convey
water to the CSAH 37 ditch.
• The Developer is required to post a letter of credit in the amount of $115,200 for public
improvements, private improvements and landscaping.
• Because this property has been previously platted (as part of the Townsite of Hamburg,
one of the first plats in Albertville), the City will not be collecting park dedication or
sanitary sewer and municipal water trunk charges.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: Except for the specific PUD provisions, this
developer’s agreement is consistent with prior Albertville developer’s agreements.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: Approval of the developer’s agreement will pave the way
for the recording of the plat.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: Except for specific PUD issues, this developer’s agreement
follows the City’s standard developer’s agreement.

4.Surety Requirements.
A.Developer will provide the City with an irrevocable letter of credit (or
other surety as approved by the City Attorney) as security that the
obligations of the Developer under this contract shall be performed.
Said letter of credit or surety shall be in the amount of $65,200,
representing the sum of 100% of the estimated cost of the Municipal
Improvements ($8,000), 50% of the cost of selected Private
Improvements, ($50,000), $1,500 per acre for erosion and sediment
control over 1.3 acres ($1,950) and 150% of the estimated cost for
landscaping/screening materials ($5,250). Said letter of credit or surety
must meet the approval of the City attorney as to form and issuing bank
(the issuing bank must be an FDIC insured bank located within 100
miles of the City of Albertville), and must be available in its entirety to
fulfill the obligations of the Developer under this Agreement. The letter
of credit to the City shall contain language requiring its automatic
renewal prior to December 31 of each calendar year, unless the issuer
of the letter of credit provides written notice to the City at least 45 days
prior to the expiration of the letter of credit of the issuer’s intent not to
renew the letter of credit.
Agenda Page 37
B.The City may draw on said letter of credit or surety to complete work
not performed by Developer (including but not limited to Private
Improvements, Municipal Improvements and Landscaping
Improvements described above, erosion control, and other such
measures, to pay liens on property to be dedicated to the City, to
reimburse itself for costs incurred in the drafting, execution,
administration or enforcement of this Agreement, to repair or correct
deficiencies or other problems which occur to the Municipal
Improvements during the warranty period, or to otherwise fulfill the
obligations of Developer under this agreement. Said letter of credit
must be maintained by Developer at all times at the level provided in
paragraph 4.A above or a lesser amount authorized by the City Council
pursuant to paragraph 5.B below.
C.In the event that any cash, irrevocable letter of credit, or other surety
referred to herein is ever utilized and found to be deficient in amount to
pay or reimburse the City in total as required herein, the Developer
agrees that upon being billed by the City, Developer will pay within
thirty (30) days of the mailing of said billing, the said deficient amount.
If there should be an overage in the amount of utilized security, the City
will, upon making said determination, refund to the Developer any
monies which the City has in its possession which are in excess of the
actual costs of the project as paid by the City.
D.Developer hereby agrees to allow the City to specially assess
Developer's property for any and all costs incurred by the City in
enforcing any of the terms of this agreement should Developer's letter
of credit or surety prove insufficient or should Developer fail to
maintain said letter of credit or surety in the amount required above
within 30 days of mailing of written request by the City.
E.In the event a surety referred to herein is in the form of an irrevocable
letter of credit, which by its terms may expire or become null and void
prior to the time at which all monetary or other obligations of the
Developer are paid or satisfied, it is agreed that the Developer shall
provide the City with a new letter of credit or other surety, acceptable to
the City, at least forty-five (45) days prior to the expiration of the
original letter of credit. If a new letter of credit is not received as
required above, the City may, without notice to Developer, declare a
default in the terms of this Agreement and thence draw in part or in total,
at the City's discretion, upon the expiring letter of credit to avoid the loss
of surety for the continued obligation. The form of any irrevocable letter
of credit or other surety must be approved by the City Attorney prior to
Agenda Page 38
its issuance. Developer shall maintain said letter of credit in the amount
required by the City at all times.
F.In the event the Developer files bankruptcy or in the event a bankruptcy
proceeding is filed against Developer by others and is not dismissed
within 60 days, or in the event a court appoints a receiver for the
Developer, the City may draw on its letter of credit or surety in its full
amount to secure its surety position. The City shall then release the
remainder of said letter of credit or surety to the bankruptcy court or
receiver in the same manner that it would be required to release the letter
of credit under this Agreement.
5.Surety Release.
A.Periodically, as payments are made by the Developer for the completion
of portions of the Municipal Improvements, Private Improvements or
Landscaping, and when it is reasonably prudent, the Developer may
request of the City that the surety be proportionately reduced for that
portion of the Municipal Improvements, Private Improvements or
Landscaping which have been fully completed and payment made
therefor. All such decisions shall be at the discretion of the City
Council. The City's cost for processing reduction request(s) shall be
billed to the Developer. Such cost shall be paid to the City within thirty
(30) days of the date of mailing of the billing.
B.The Developer may request of the City a reduction or release of any
surety as follows:
i.When another acceptable letter of credit or surety is furnished to
the City to replace a prior letter of credit or surety.
ii.When all or a portion of the required improvements have been
installed, the letter of credit or surety may be reduced by the
dollar amount attributable to that portion of improvements so
installed, except that the City shall retain the letter of credit or
surety in the amount of 10% of the estimated construction price
of the Municipal Improvements during the first year of the
warranty period and 5% of the estimated construction price of
the Municipal Improvements during the second year of the
warranty period.
iii.When all or a portion of the landscaping improvements have
been installed pursuant to the Plans and Specifications for
Agenda Page 39
Particle Control Albertville, as prepared by Civil Engineering
Site Design dated November 16, 2022 attached as Exhibit C, the
letter of credit or surety may be reduced by the dollar amount
attributable to that portion of such landscaping improvements
installed, except the City shall retain the letter of credit or surety
in the amount of 25% of the estimated Landscaping
Improvement costs for two years from the time of the installation
of said landscaping materials.
iv.As to all requests brought under this paragraph, the City Council
shall have complete discretion whether to reduce or not to reduce
said letter of credit or surety.
C.The City shall act upon Developer’s letter of credit reduction requests
within 35 days of submission of a written request for reduction. The costs
incurred by the City in processing any reduction request shall be billed to
the Developer and paid to the City within thirty (30) days of billing.
6.Abandonment of Project - Costs and Expenses.
In the event Developer should abandon the proposed development of Said Plat, the
City’s costs and expenses related to attorney’s fees, professional review, drafting
of this Agreement, preparation of the feasibility report, plans and specifications,
and any other expenses undertaken in reliance upon Developer’s various assertions
shall be paid by said Developer within thirty (30) days after receipt of a bill for
such costs from the City. In addition, in the event the Developer abandons the
project, in whole or in part, ceases substantial field work for more than nine (9)
months, fails to provide sufficient ground-cover to prevent continuing soil erosion
from Said Plat, or fails to leave the abandoned property in a condition which can
be mowed using conventional lawn mowing equipment, Developer agrees to pay
all costs the City may incur in taking whatever action is reasonably necessary to
provide ground-cover and otherwise restore Said Plat to the point where
undeveloped grounds are level and covered with permanent vegetation sufficient
to prevent continuing soil erosion from Said Plat and to facilitate mowing of Said
Plat. In the event that said costs are not paid, the City may withdraw funds from
the above-mentioned surety for the purpose of paying the costs referred to in this
paragraph.
7.Developer to Pay City's Costs and Expenses.
It is understood and agreed that the Developer will reimburse the City for all
reasonable administrative, legal, planning, engineering and other professional
costs incurred in the creation, administration, enforcement or execution of this
Agenda Page 40
Agreement and the approval of Said Plat, as well as all reasonable engineering
expenses incurred by the City in designing, approving, installing, and inspecting
said Improvements described above. Developer agrees to pay all such costs within
30 days of billing by the City. If Developer fails to pay said amounts, Developer
agrees to allow the City to reimburse itself from said surety and/or assess the
amount owed against any or all of properties in Said Plat without objection.
8.Development Related Fees and Credits.
A.Sanitary Sewer and Water Trunk Line Fees.
Said Plat is already connected to Municipal Sanitary Sewer and Water
services and therefore is not required to pay Sanitary Sewer and Water
Trunk Line Fees.
B.Storm Water Utility Connection Charge. Developer agrees that the
City’s Storm Water Utility Connection Charge Ordinance requires the
Developer to pay $1,500 per acre for all additional acres that will be covered

it deems appropriate to control erosion, and the landowner hereby grants the City

occur to public property including but not limited to streets, street sub-base, base,
bituminous surface, curb, utility system including but not limited to watermain,
sanitary sewer or storm sewer when said damage occurs as a result of the activity

agrees to pay all costs required to repair the streets, utility systems and other public
property damaged or cluttered with debris when occurring as a direct or indirect
result of the construction that takes place in Said Plat.

of construction activity on Said Plat will be repaired immediately if deemed to
be an emergency by the City. Developer further agrees that any damage to
public property as a result of construction activity on Said Plat will be repaired
within 14 days of notice to the Developer provided by the City if not deemed to

If Developer fails to so clean the streets or repair or maintain said public property,
the City may immediately undertake making or causing it to be cleaned up,
repaired or maintained. When the City undertakes such activity, the Developer
shall reimburse the City for all of its expenses within thirty (30) days of its billing

public improvements, the Developer assumes all liability and the costs
resulting in delays in completion of public improvements and damage to
public improvements caused by the City, Developer, its contractors,
subcontractors, materialmen, employees, agents, or third parties.
D.The action or inaction of the City shall not constitute a waiver or
amendment to the provisions of this Contract. To be binding, amendments
or waivers shall be in writing, signed by the parties and approved by written
resolution of the City Council. The City's failure to promptly take legal
action to enforce this Contract shall not be a waiver or release.
E. This Contract shall run with the land and shall be recorded against the title
to the property.
F.The Developer represents to the City that Said Plat and its related
submissions (including but not limited to the grading plan, utility plan, and
site plan) complies with all City, county, state and federal laws and
regulations, including but not limited to: subdivision ordinances, zoning

Developer thirty (30) days mailed notice thereof (via certified mail with a
courtesy copy sent via email), and if such default is not cured within said
thirty (30) day period, the City is hereby granted the right and the privilege
to declare any deficiencies governed by this Agreement due and payable to
the City in full. The thirty (30) day notice period shall be deemed to run

Developer, the City may thence immediately and without notice or consent
complete some or all of the Developer's obligations under this Agreement,
and bring legal action against the Developer to collect any sums due to the
City pursuant to this Agreement, plus all costs and attorney's fees incurred
in enforcing this agreement. The City may also specially assess all said

exercise all remedies available to it under this agreement in an effort to
prevent, reduce or otherwise mitigate such irreparable harm or safety
hazard, provided that the City makes good-faith, reasonable efforts to notify
the Developer as soon as is practicable of the default, the projected
irreparable harm or safety hazard, and the intended actions of the City to
remedy said harm.
C.Paragraph 14.A of this Agreement shall not apply to any acts or rights of
the City under paragraph 4.E of this Agreement, and no notice need be
given to the Developer as a condition precedent to the City drawing upon
the expiring irrevocable letter of credit as therein authorized. The City may
elect to give notice to Developer of the City's intent to draw upon the surety
without waiving the City's right to draw upon the surety at a future time
without notice to the Developer.
D.Breach of any of the terms of this Contract by the Developer shall be
grounds for denial of building permits to the properties on Said Plat.

The Developer, upon presentation to the City of evidence of good and
marketable title to Said Plat, and upon completion of all construction
work and certification of completion by the City Engineer, shall

Agreement. Acceptance by City of any dedication shall occur upon

Mayor and Council Request for Action
February 6, 2023
SUBJECT: PLANNING – SIGN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO SECTION 10-7-8
PERMIT FEES
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and City Council consider
the following motion:
MOTION TO: Adopt Ordinance No. 2023-01 amending Section 10-7-8.C Permit Fees
reestablishing the billboard renewal fee.
BACKGROUND: The Albertville Sign Code has required a billboard renewal fee for each of
the billboards within the City. This language was inadvertently removed with past amendments.
The renewal fee is still in the City fee schedule and is still collected. The amendment
reestablishes the billboard renewal fee language within the Sign Code.
The Albertville Planning Commission held a public hearing and reviewed an ordinance
amendment, staff reports and heard public testimony. At the close of the public hearing, the
Planning Commission recommended that the City Council approve the Sign Code amendment
reestablishing the billboard renewal fee.
The attached planning report and ordinance is offered for Council consideration.
KEY ISSUES:
• The billboard renewal fee was previously part of the sign code.
• The billboard renewal fee is listed in the City fee schedule and is still collected.
• The billboard renewal fee language was inadvertently removed from the sign code
and the proposed ordinance reestablishes the past language.
• The billboard renewal fee is $75 annually.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: In accordance with State Law, a public notice
was published, and a public hearing held by the Planning Commission.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There is no financial implications for this request.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: In accordance with Council procedures, the Mayor and City
Council has the authority to amend the City Sign Code.

MEMORANDUM:
TO: Adam Nafstad
FROM: Tara Kohl/Alan Brixius
DATE: December 8, 2022
RE: Billboard Fee Amendment
FILE NO: 163.05 22.12
BACKGROUND
The City of Albertville would like to make an amendment to City Code reintroducing
language that was previously included in the Code regarding sign permit fees and
billboard renewal fees.
ANALYSIS
The proposed amendment addresses the required fees for all sign permits. The
amendment also reinserts the fee requirement for the annual renewal of billboards. The
billboard renewal fee was mistakenly removed from the sign code in a previous
amendment.
CONCLUSION
The proposed amendment reintroduces language that was mistakenly removed from
the sign code. We recommend approval of this attached draft code amendment.

Mayor and Council Communication
February 6, 2023
SUBJECT: ADMINISTRATION – STORMWATER DRAINAGE UTILITY REVIEW
INFORMATION: In 2022 an extensive examination of the City’s Stormwater Utility Billing
was done by staff. Specifically, all commercial accounts were reviewed in regards to acreage and
percentage of impervious (hardcover) coverage.
Title 9, Chapter 5 of the City Code establishes the City’s Stormwater Drainage Utility.
Stormwater utility fees are established in section 3-1-3 of City Code and examined or amended
from time to time.
The Stormwater Utility is charged as a line item on the monthly Utility Billing for each account.
A single-family residential parcel is billed a flat rate regardless of size. All other parcels are
billed based on the acreage of the parcel and the amount of impervious surface on the site.
Upon review of the City’s non-residential accounts, it was found that many properties were not
calculated correctly or several properties were not paying at all. It was also discovered that
snowbirds, or accounts that were shut-off, were not being billed if they were not receiving a
water bill.
The City’s current stormwater rate structure for non-residential properties is as follows:
2023 Commercial Stormwater Rates:
0-5% Impervious $6.29 per acre monthly
6-35% Impervious $11.85 per acre monthly
36-65% Impervious $16.66 per acre monthly
66-100% Impervious $29.98 per acre monthly
Properties exempt from the stormwater utility are considered public land and vacant/unimproved
land with ground cover.
Stormwater Utility Review Summary:
• The City has 174 non-residential stormwater accounts
• The City has 2,518 residential stormwater accounts
o 2,475 are billed monthly
o 43 are billed annually, as they do not receive a water or sanitary sewer bill
• As part of the review, all non-residential properties were measured using GIS for size
and impervious areas.
o 15 non-residential stormwater accounts were added
o Dozens of accounts were updated to reflect correct size and impervious areas.
Generally, these properties saw an increased monthly charge.
• Snowbird/Water Shut-off accounts are now billed monthly for stormwater.
