He said the City only received one bid to construct the signal which came in higher than expected but the project entailed many costly design components.

I-94 Project Discussion City Administrator Nafstad provided information on the proposed design for the MnDOT I-94 Gap project and said the State would soon be submitting a request for municipal consent agreement to the City for the project. He said he would like to resolve the CSAH 19 turn lane issues before then because he felt the proposed turn lane would not be long enough and was looking for Council direction before the City received the agreement. Administrator Nafstad also asked Council if staff should maintain the care of the MNDOT stormwater pond and provided Agenda Page 6 City Council Meeting Draft Minutes Page 4 Regular Meeting of September 5, 2023 information on the park and ride the City gave to the State for the I94 construction. He said he believed a cul-de-sac would be more beneficial then the hammerhead design that MnDOT recommended. Chief Bullen provided additional information on the I-94 project and answered questions from Council. There was Council discussion regarding the I-94 project, the storm water pond, and the project design. The Council’s consent was for staff to work with MnDOT on the appropriate length for the turn lane.

Adopted by the City Council of the City of Albertville this 18th day of September 2023. Jillian Hendrickson, Mayor ATTEST: Kristine A. Luedke, City Clerk Agenda Page 14 Mayor and Council Request for Action September 18, 2023 SUBJECT: FINANCE – 2024 PRELIMINARY BUDGET AND PROPERTY TAX LEVY RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the following: MOTION TO: • Adopt Resolution No. 2023-34 adopting the 2023 Preliminary Property Tax Levy collectible in 2024. • Adopt Resolution No. 2023-35 adopting the 2024 Preliminary Budget. BACKGROUND: Annually, the budget and property tax levy process start in June with staff preparing estimates and projections for the following year’s preliminary or draft budget. Through meetings and workshop sessions, the City Council reviews the preliminary budget and amends it as desired. Prior to September 30 of each year, the following year’s proposed tax levy is submitted to Wright County for preliminary certification. Attached is the preliminary summary budget for 2024. The preliminary budget for 2024 totals $6,183,524. The budget includes a general fund tax levy of $2,744,776 for taxes payable 2024, the debt service levy of $749,157 and a levy for capital in the amount of $1,578,138. The total levy, general fund, debt service and capital has increased from $4,758,894 in 2023 to $5,072,071, which is a 6.58% increase. KEY ISSUES: 1. Levy Adoption Schedule: The final levy is not certified until mid December so there is still an opportunity to review, discuss, and change the 2024 budget and tax levy as needed. The important thing to note is that the final levy can be less than the preliminary levy, but it cannot be more. For the preliminary levy, it is best to avoid “locking” into a levy that could be inadequate to fund operations and programs for next year. 2. LGA: The City is estimated to receive LGA in the amount of $258,858, which reduces the general fund levy by that amount. POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: It is the City’s policy to review and approve the 2024 Budget and Proposed Property Tax Levy.

Luedke, City Clerk Agenda Page 20 Mayor and Council Request for Action September 18, 2023 SUBJECT: PLANNING – PARKSIDE COMMERCIAL – PUD AMENDMENT – OFFICE BUILDING RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the following: MOTION TO: Adopt Resolution No. 2023-36 addressing the following development applications from Axys Construction to allow for the construction of a 7,000 square foot professional office building at within the Parkside Commercial Planned Unit Development in the City of Albertville. BACKGROUND: In 2005, the City approved a conditional use permit/planned unit development for a Parkside Commercial Development that included three office buildings and CIC subdivision located on the northwest quadrant of County Road 19 and 57th Street. Through the PUD, the site provided for three CIC lots and common space for shared access, parking, ponding and landscaped areas. All of the office buildings have the same architectural exterior finishes and appearance. To date, one office building exists on the site. Axys Construction has applied for the construction of a second 7,000 square foot office building on the eastern Parkside commercial lot. The applicant is requesting a change in the building exterior finishes and appearance through the submission on PUD amendment and submission of alternative building plans. The applications have been processed through the Albertville Planning Commission with a public hearing on September 12, 2023. Upon reviewing the development application, the City planning report dated August 25, 2023, and public testimony, the Planning Commission recommend approval of the application to the City Council. KEY ISSUES: • The site is zoned PUD/ B-2A Special Business District. With the original PUD approval, the City limited the allowed site uses to general office, clinical offices, and service businesses. The proposed office use is consistent with the allowed approved PUD uses for the site. • The current proposed building is located within the approved building location for the eastern lot. This meets the required B-2A District setbacks. • All parking lots and drive aisle are in-place. The parking lots are sized and designed to meet the City standards for office uses. • The approved 2005, planned unit development included a uniform building design for each of the three buildings on the site. The current building is proposing an architectural design and building materials that are different than the 2005 building designs. The change in building design requires a planned unit development amendment. Agenda Page 21 Mayor and Council Request for Action – September 18, 2023 Planning – Parkside Commercial PUD Amendment Page 2 of 3 • The proposed building has a hip shingled roof, with variable front building façade. The exterior wall treatments consist of a manufactured stone face base and combination of vertical and horizontal LP Smartside siding. • Section 1100.4 of the Albertville code allows the City Council to consider the use of other materials if they are determined acceptable. • The building design and materials are similar to the recently constructed Konz building and Lil Explorers Daycare along 57th Street. • The applicant is requesting a comprehensive sign plan to address the multiple tenant building. • The majority owner of the Parkside Commercial Center CIC expressed the following concerns and asked that City approval be delayed until resolution of these items can be achieved. o The current plans for the proposed commercial office building were not approved by the Parkside Commercial Center CIC. o The proposed owner of the new commercial office building has not entered into a new Common Area Expense Allocation Agreement. • The City Attorney addressed the majority owner’s concern. Under Minn. Stat. 15.99, the City still needs to process this PUD amendment request within the 60/120 day timeline required by the law. I see no reason why the public hearing should be delayed if it has already been noticed or why a recommendation from the Planning Commission should be delayed. The City Council can always delay the decision to approve the PUD amendment for a little while if needed to give the parties time to come to agreement on their issues, but ultimately the terms of the CIC Declarations are private covenants that do not impact our zoning ordinance or our zoning decisions unless the declarations /covenants the new development may be violating are also requirements of our original PUD approval. The City must make its decision based on our ordinances and prior approvals, and not necessarily on whether the requested action is consistent with the CIC Declarations. • In examining the past CIC documents, a 2015 covenant amendment indicates that this lot is part of the Parkside Commercial Center Association and there is an allocation of common area cost. In discussion with the City Attorney, the Council may require as a condition of approval that this site must be included in the Parkside Commercial Center Association with a Common Area expense allocation agreement and the applicant with the majority owner provide documentation that the Association is established and active to the City. POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: The Albertville Planning Commission held a public hearing on September 12, 2023 and agreed with the findings and recommendations outlined in the August 25, 2023 planning report and recommended that the City Council approve the Axys Construction applications for an amendment to the Parkside Commercial PUD to allow to allow for the construction of a 7,000 sq. ft. office building with an exterior architectural design and exterior materials that differ from the original PUD building design in Albertville. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The project will have to pay City utility connection fee and SAC/WAC charges with the building permit. Agenda Page 22 Mayor and Council Request for Action – September 18, 2023 Planning – Parkside Commercial PUD Amendment Page 3 of 3 LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: Under Minn. Stat. 15.99, the City still needs to process this PUD amendment request within the 60/120-day timeline required by the law. The applicant and the majority CIC owner must provide documentation that the Parkside Commercial Center Association in active and has a Common Area expense allocation for the long-term maintenance of the site.

Maple Grove Tel: 763-242-6955 Email AlBrixius@gmail.com Agenda Page 26 5 ANALYSIS Zoning: The site is zoned PUD/ B-2A Special Business District. With the original PUD approval, the city limited the allowed site uses to general office, clinical offices, and service businesses. The proposed office use is consistent with the allowed approved PUD uses for the site. Lot Area and Setbacks: The 2005 PUD approved building sites for each of the three buildings. The current proposed building is located within the approved building location for the eastern lot. This meets the required B-2A District setbacks. The current building will have 7,080 sq. ft. in floor area which is slightly smaller than the original proposed building of 7,500 sq. ft. The building fits the approved site. Parking: The existing parking lots are in-place to support full site development. The proposed new building will be 7,080 sq. ft. in floor area smaller than the original, reducing the demand for parking. The parking lots are sized and designed to meet the City standards for office uses. Maximum Building Height. The maximum building height in the B2-A district is 35 feet. The submitted plans show a building height of less than 35 feet. Building Materials. The approved 2005, planned unit development included a uniform building design for each of the three buildings on the site. The current building is proposing an architectural design and building materials that are different than the 2005 building designs. The change in building design requires a planned unit development amendment. The proposed building has a hip shingled roof, with variable front building façade. The exterior wall treatments consist of a manufactured stone face base and combination of vertical and horizontal LP Smartside siding. LP Smartside Siding is not a material specifically allowed within the B2-A district; however, Section 1100.4 of the Albertville code allows the City council to consider the use of other materials if they are determined acceptable. The planning commission is asked to review the proposed building elevations and provide a recommendation as to whether the building design and materials are appropriate within the B2-A district. The building design and materials are similar to the recently constructed Konz building and Lil Explorers Daycare along 57th Street. In review of the review of the requested building elevations, staff recommend that the stone treatment be extended around the entire building. The building has a very visible location, and the four-sided architecture is recommended in exchange for the PUD flexibility. Loading Areas. The office uses will have a limited deliveries. The original site plan has been approved with maneuvering space for smaller delivery vehicles and garbage Agenda Page 27 6 trucks (Exhibit B). Vehicle off-loading will occur within the drive lanes. Trash Enclosure. A trash/recycling area is identified on the site plan south of the building. Per the applicant’s narrative the office building will be using roll-out garbage and recycling containers rather than a dumpster. The applicant has provided plans which indicate the trash enclosure will have exterior walls that match the building materials. Site Lighting. The freestanding parking lot lighting is already in-place. The applicants have submitted a lighting plan for wall mounted goose neck lights. The lighting plan appears to meet the requirements for site lighting. The applicants' cut sheets indicate the light fixtures are a 90-degree cut-off and the light levels at the property line are below the City's maximum standard of 0.4-foot candles. Landscaping. The submitted landscape plan shows shrub plantings at the perimeter of the building. The proposed plantings meet the species and size requirements of the City Code. The landscape plan is consistent with the approved 2005 PUD landscape plan. Sign Plan. The 2005 Parkside Commercial PUD/CUP was approved with the following sign restrictions. 1. Two monument signs were approved. The monument signs shall not exceed 12 feet in height and no more than 80 square feet in area per sign face. 2. Wall signage shall not exceed 48 square feet in area for each tenant bay entrance. Each sign shall require a separate sign permit. 3. All sign lighting shall be on a timer that will turn off at 11:00 P.M. 4. Window signs are prohibited. The current building elevations propose to have individual tenant signs over the tenant bay entrances, as well as wall signs on the east and west ends of the building. In review of the proposed sign plan, we offer the following recommendations. 1. The tenant sign over the entrances are within the approved 2005 sign plan. 2. The east and west signs are a new consideration. We recommend that no sign be allowed on the west wall and the east wall sign be approved as a PUD amendment to allow the freestanding monument signs to be reserved for the west two office building tenant identification. 3. The sign lighting shall be restricted to the approved 2005 approved sign plan requirements. 4. All signs shall require individual sign permits. CONCLUSION The proposed development fits the original approved Parkside Commercial site plan. The change in exterior design requires a PUD amendment to allow the change in Agenda Page 28 7 exterior building materials. Based on our review we recommend approval of the PUD amendment with the following conditions. 1. City approval of alternative exterior building materials as shown on Exhibit F. 2. The building elevations shall be altered to continue the manufactured stone base to all sides of the building. 3. The sign plan is approved with the following conditions. a. The individual tenant wall signs shall not exceed 48 sq. ft. and shall be located over the tenant’s front entrance. b. No wall sign shall be placed on the west building wall. c. The wall sign on the east building wall is approved to reserve the monument sign faces for the west Parkside Commercial office buildings. d. All sign lighting shall be on a timer that will turn off the lights at 11:00 P.M. e. Each sign shall required individual sign permits. Cc.

BACKGROUND: The existing wall was built by the City sometime around 1993 and is necessary for the boulevard sidewalk along 50th Street. It is my understanding 50th Street NE was under the City’s jurisdiction when the wall was originally built, but today 50th Street NE exists as a Wright County highway (CSAH 18). The existing wall is constructed of a modular concrete block, which is deteriorating and is beginning to overturn. The City has developed plans and specifications for the wall and has solicited quotes for the work. Three quotes were received, ranging from $133,639.50 to 170,422.50, with Fehn Companies submitting the low quote. The proposed work includes removing the existing structure and replacing with a larger modular concrete block and adding a fence along the top of the wall, per code, for pedestrian safety. Under the County’s policy, municipalities are responsible for 50% of the cost of retaining walls in lieu of right of way. Earlier this year a draft cost share agreement between the City and County was prepared; however, that agreement estimated the wall construction would be $75,000. I am working with the County to amend the agreement to include the quoted price of the work. KEY ISSUES: • The retaining wall needs to be replaced. • The proposed work include the addition of a fence along the top of the wall. • Low quote for the project was submitted by Fehn’s in the amount of $133,639.50. • A cost share agreement with the County to pay 50% is still needed. • If approved, the work will be completed this fall. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The project costs will be spilt with the County and the City’s portion, approximately $66,820, will be funded through capital reserves. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and Council possess the authority to authorize municipal improvements, and to accept or reject quotes for municipal improvements.
