but they will evaluate the need and time of the future vacation.
The lot they are looking to combine contains a single-family home, a detached accessory building and a
billboard. The site is non-conforming in use and in lot size. Staff recommends the existing house and
accessory building will not be occupied and will be removed from the site by June 30, 2025.
Kadler Avenue is an unimproved gravel boundary line road which is shared with Otsego and may need
to have future improvements. Kadler may remain unimproved and continued to be used by AVA with
the following conditions:
1. AVA shall be responsible for maintenance of gravel on Kadler Avenue to city standards.
2. When Kadler Avenue is improved to an urban street standard, AVA shall be responsible
for their share of the street improvement costs.
Commissioners discussed why they are rezoning the additional parcel they are wishing to combine.
Brixius informed AVA would like the parcel to be existing with their current zoning. Commissioners
discussed if AVA would be allowed to have outdoor storage of their inventory on this new parcel,
Brixius informed AVA would have to request a conditional use permit to allow for more outdoor
storage of inventory.
Commissioners discussed sharing the road between Albertville and Otsego. Brixius informed that AVA
is responsible for the road at this time because there is no Otsego business to the west as of now.

Brixius informed Commissioners that we have off-sale liquors listed in the Albertville zoning definition
section, but we do not have it listed in anywhere in the code. This will be listed in the commercial
zoning districts. This will be listed under the permitted uses within the various districts (B-2 through
B-4 districts) you introduce this as a permitted use within those zoning districts and off-sale would be
just to liquor stores, no consumption on site.
Commissioners discussed if we need more liquor stores and different types of liquor stores.
