VIII. MOTION TO ADJOURN
COUNCIL MEETING MINUTE
APRIL 18, 1988
The regular meeting of the Albertville City Council was called to
order by Mayor Loretta Roden. Council members present included Bob
Braun, Don Cornelius, Donatus Vetsch and Gary Schwenafeier. Others
present included Maureen Andrews, Bob Miller, Thore Meyer, Bob
Sullentrop, Ken Lindsay and Lorie Villareal.
The agenda for the evenings meeting was reviewed by the Council.
A motion was made by Don Cornelius and seconded by Bob Braun to
approve the agenda. All were in favor and the motion carried.
The minutes of. the April 4th meeting were reviewed by the
Council, before they were approved.
Donatus Vetsch asked if Cyril Beaudry had been contacted
regarding the dumping on their land on Barthel Industrial Park.'?
Maureen informed the Council that she had contacted the property
owners and that it appeared that they would not be interested in
having the City level off the area and barricade it off. In speaking
with Mrs. Beaudry, it appears that she felt that her husband would be
upset with the fact that the City is making a issue of cleaning up the
site when other properties exist in similar disrepair. Mrs. Beaudry
suggested that if the City wanted to do anything to the land that a
member of the Council should speak with her husband.
Maureen went on to explain that the issue of the special
assessments and back taxes on the land was brought up as one of the
reasons why the owners are not interested in incurring any more
expense on the property. It was explained to Beaudry's that the City
was looking to spend the money to clean up the land and barricade it
off so that the owners would not be faced with any added expense.
At this point, one of the members of the Council questioned the
fact that, if the City was to incur the expense for cleaning up the
land would it eliminate the dumping problem or would it just provide
more room for dumping. The discussion then focused on the fact that,
this is the first image that someone perceives when they enter town
from the freeway.
After some additional discussion a motion was made to not do
anything to the property at this time. The motion was made by Don
Cornelius and seconded by Donatus Vetsch. All were in favor and the
motion carried.
A motion to approve the minutes of April 4th was made by Gary
Schwenzfeier and seconded by Donatus Vetsch. All were in favor and the
motion carried.
The first item on the evening's agenda was the sale of used
equipment. The minutes should note that the ad for the flight pumps
will appear in the next issue of the League of Minnesota Cities
magazine. The sealed bids for the Allis lawnmower and the Mars street
sweeper were opened and read by Maureen. The bids were as follows:
Mike Potter
11650 57th Street
Albertville, MN Street Sweeper $151.51
Mike Potter Lawnmower $101.51
page 2
Dennis Peterson
Route 3
Buffalo, MN Lawnmower $ 80.00
Larry Berning
2242 Lachman Ave.
St. Michael, MN Lawnmower $175.00
Merle Brandt
Rt, 3, Box 210
Monticello, MN Lawnmower $ 75.00
Mike Helfert
No Address Given Lawnmower $130.00
Bob Harlow
Rockford,MN Lawnmower $300.00
Myron Ball
Long Lake, MN Lawnmower $151.00
Rick Brufyer
9403 Cain Road
Corcoran, MN Lawnmower $257.00
Ken Lindsay recommended that the Council accept Mr. Harlow's bid
of $300.00 for the lawnmower, but to reject the bid for the street
sweeper since he feels that it is worth more than what the bid came in
for. He suggested that, the City might want to advertise the equipment
in a trade magazine to see if a better price could be gotten.
Uonatus Vetsch made a motion to sell the lawnmower to Mr. Harlow
for $300,00. Don Cornelius seconded this motion. All were in favor and
the :notion carried.
PAGE 3
Gary Schwenzfeier made a motion to reject the bid on the sweeper.
Bob Braun seconded this motion. All were in favor and the motion
carried.
It, was agreed that Ken would put an ad in the Trade and Times
paper to sell the Mars Street Sweeper for $1000.00 or best offer. The
Council was informed that there is a $30.00 charge to run the ad for
up to 5 weeks. If at the end of the 5 weeks the equipment, has not been
sold, there is no charge. Ken was asked to check with Don Cornelius if
someone offers less then the $1,000.00, but that it would not need to
come back to the Council for final action.
Mr. Keith Franklin met with the City`s attorney prior to the
evening's meeting. Bob pointed out to the Council that Mr. Franklin
had semi -completed application submitted to the City but had been
waiting for notification from Burlington Northern authorizing the
location of the signs and letter from a engineer stating the necessary
information about the wind velocity.
A member of the Council asked if all six permits would have be
approved or could the Council limit the number approved. Bob stated
that if Mr. Franklin has complied with the billboard ordinance, there
was really nothing the City could do regarding limiting the number of
locations of signs. Bob was also questions whether or not the
Uarkenwald development would have a bearing of the approval of the
sign locations. Bob stated that because the sign applications had
been put, into place prior to the Uarkenwald development proposal that
it would almost impossible for the permits to be denied.
Other discussion included the issue of approving the permits.
It was pointed out that each of the 6 permits will be assigned a
designated number and that each of the 6 sign permits could be
approved by the Council all together instead of individually. Donatus
PAGE 4
Vetsch raised a question regarding fees and was told that the
ordinance sets the rate rased on size and that the fees should be
reviewed from time to time and adjusted when necessary.
Hearing no other discussion, Bob recommended that the Council
wait on making any decision until Mr. Franklin had submitted the
necessary signed applications and pay the necessary application fees.
The Council agreed and no action was taken on the matter.
The Council next heard from the Maintenance Department. Ken
Lindsay told the Council that the street sweeping was done but not
real good.
There appears to be problems with construction trucks leaving
large amounts dirt behind in the road right-of-way and not cleaning up
the dirt left behind. Ken pointed out that in the past he has just
stopped the trucks that he has seen making; the mess and have asked
them to clean up the road right-of-way and asked if it was ok if he
could continue bringing it to the construction people's attention so
that it does not become a real big problem. It, was also pointed out
that under new Developer's Agreements, the developer will be held are
responsible for construction cleanup as part of the escrow items.
Ken also brought up the fact, that, several people have driveways
and yards that are washed out and should be made aware of this
problem. It was agreed that Maureen should send a letter out to the
property owners that are presenting a problem, once a list has been
presented by Ken.Gary Schwenzfeier made a motion and Don Cornelius
seconded the motion: to have letters sent to those people who have
washouts. All were in favor and the motion carried.
Ken informed the Council that, crack sealing would begin this week
providing the weather stayed nice. Ken thanked Don Cornelius for
helping him to pick up the crack filling material.
PAGE 5
Ken next reported to the Council the results of the samples on
the pond discharges. Samples taken last week met all but one limit
requirement. It was pointed out that the ponds again met limits
without using the chemical treatment. As the Council may recall this
is the second time that this has occurred. Ken pointed out the PCA
will riot be conducting the experiment (noted in earlier minutes) until
the fall discharge.
Ken expects to receive permission from the PCA to start
discharging Pond 3, and will then transfer Pond 1 into Pond 3 and
prepare it for discharge.
The bids on the gravel for the dikes at the Wastewater Treatment
Facility were presented next to the Council. Ken informed the Council
that he had asked for the bids in two forms--1. Brought out and
dumped, with the City doing the leveling and the grading; and 2.
Brought out, dumped, graded and packed. The bids presented were as
follows:
Buffalo Bituminous
Hassan Sand and Gravel
Dennis Fehn
$1,000.00/ton-just brought out
$5,750.00/shaped and compacted
$1, 100.00/ton-just brought out
$3,960.00/shaped and compacted
$5,000.00/2" pure granite
$2,510.00/523 yards, Class 5
$3,477.55/2" pure granite
Ken recommended going with just Class 5 at this time because of
the fact that the dikes are still in the process of settling and the
Class 5 is easier to put down and easier to work with. Ken stated that
the Class 5 will pack down better than the pure granite. Ken did
suggest that within two years the City may want to put down the 2" of
pure granite.
PAGE 6
Donatus Vetsch made a motion to accept Dennis Fehn`s bid of 523
yards of Class 5 gravel for $2510.00. Don Cornelius seconded this
motion. All were in favor and the motion carried.
Ken reported that the bids are slow coming in for the fence at
the Wastewater Treatment Facility. The issue was tabled until the next
meeting.
Ken informed the Council that he has been asked to speak at the
Minnesota Wastewater Operators Association meeting in August. He
requested permission from the Council to attend the seminar in August
4th. He will giving the same presentation that he gave at the seminar
in March.
Mike Potter, representing the Park Board, was present, to comment
on the minutes that the Council is requesting from the Park Board.
Mike stated that the minutes from Wanda Scherber are fairly scattered,
however, they would try and get the minutes to the Council for review
in the future.
The overtime calendars were next reviewed by the Council. Mike is
not yet ?pack to work. He is still receiving therapy on the right hand.
Bob Braun commented on Ken`s Council meeting time. His time to attend
Council meetings was set at one hour, not two. Maureen will check from
which set of minutes this matter had action taken on it.
Lorie's overtime was approved, Mary Schwenafeier asked why
Maureen did not have an overtime calendar included in the packet.
Maureen agreed to have her overtime figured for the Council for the
next meeting. It was pointed out that, currently Maureen had
approximately 130 hours of straight time in, not figuring time and
half. There was no further discussion.
PAGE 7
Stan Barthel of the Albertville Jaycees, requested a limited 3.2
beer license for the summer softball league running from May 1st to
August 31st, Tuesday through Thursday; and for the two softball
tournaments scheduled for May 20, 21 and 22 and June 17, 18 and 19.
The fee will be $100.00 for all of the events.
Stan was informed that, prior to the City signing the limited beer
license that a application form needed to be completed and that the
City needed to have on file a copy of the Jaycee's Dram Shop
Insurance, with the City of Albertville named as an additional
insured. In addition, the Jaycees`s need to complete the
INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLDHARMLESS AGREEMENT between the City and the
organisation.
Don Cornelius made a motion to approve the 3.2 beer license for
.-. the Jaycees pending payment, the completion of the necessary materials
and the City receiving a copy of the dram shop insurance. Gary
Schwenzfeier seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion
carried.
The Westwind plat was reviewed for final plat approval. The
Council was informed that the Planning Commission had reviewed the
plat at their April 14th meeting and approved a motion recommending to
the Council that the plat be approved as drawn.
The Council was informed that the Planning Commission had had
some concern regarding the issue of the park land dedication and how
that money was to be spent. It was part of the Commissions
recommendation that the Developer's Agreement include language
pertaining to the fact, the moneys received for this development should
be used in the area of the development instead of in any of the other
park developments. Bob Miller pointed out that he did not feel that it
was appropriate to include such language, but that it, is appropriate
to include this request in the minutes of the Council and in the
PAGE 8
minutes of the Planning Commission and the Park Board. It was pointed
out that the reason the Commission had the concern is that as members
of the Boards and Commissions change there could be a problem with
funds being expended for other park development not leaving enough
funds for for the park that, is park of this development, and that
since the money was dedicated for WESTWIND, it should be used for its
development.
There was also some discussion regarding the issue of the lift
station and forcemain tying into the sewer line that runs down 60th
Street.
It was pointed out that several members of the Council had been
contacted by the residents that live on 60th Street regarding the
adequacies of the line and the possibility of problems with backups in
the line. Meyer-Rohlin informed the Council that they were aware of
this concern and had surveyed the home on the end of the sewer line
where the sewer line is the most shallow and had found approximately a
3.5 foot drop in elevation. It was also pointed out that in checking
with Ken Lindsay that the only problem that has arisen in the past on
that line has been minor problems directly related to the lack of
flow. Meyer-Rohlin went on to explain that the capacity of the
existing sewer line on 60th Street will be able to handle the flow
from the new interceptor, since the lift station will only being using
one 175 gallon per minuter(gpm) pump. This along with the degree of
slope in the line and size of line the property owners on 60th Street
should experience any problems. Maureen asked if the engineers could
send a letter to the City explaining this situation so if any
additional questions are raised that the letter will be available for
review. Thore agreed to get a letter right out to the City.
The minutes should also note that at such time the sewer line
starts operating at capacity that the Council will then need to look
at installing the remaining portion of the new system.
PAGE 9
There was no other discussion regarding the approval of the final
plat for WESTWIND, so a motion was made by Bob Braun and seconded by
Don Cornelius. All were in favor and the motion carried,, pending the
approval of the Developer's Agreement. The Mayor and City
Administrator were authorized to sign off on the plat for recording
once all the necessary paperwork was completed.
The WESTWIND Developer`s Agreement was discussed next. John
Darkenwald, George Yankoupe, and Wally (:)dell were present to discuss
with the Council the Agreement. Issues raised included: their
request that language be included regarding the fact that, their
property should be allowed to have pylon signs to attract the freeway
orientated business (i.e. Perkins, McDonald's etc.), there concern
regarding the language regarding the application of special
assessments after the award of the construction contract, the
possibility of reducing the Letter of Credit from 30% to 20%, language
regarding the Portland dedication, lengths of notices and some other
minor language clarifications.
The Council and the developers went through the agreement on a
page by page basis and were able to resolve each of the issues raise.
1. FREEWAY ORIENTATED SIGNS --It was pointed out by Bob Miller
that the mention of approval for freeway orientated signs
does not make it binding to the Developer's Agreement,
because of the nature of ordinances.
It was agree that the minutes should reference the fact
the that the City has review the matter and agree that the
property has the appropriate need for this type of signage
in the commercial area and that the Developer's
Agreement would make reference to the boundary of the
commercial area on the map included in the Developer's
Agreement. It was also agreed that, the City of Albertville
PAGE 10
would review the Rogers Sign Ordinance regarding the height,
limitations for pylon signs. It was explained to the
Council that the Rogers Ordinance uses a designated HEIGHT
ABOVE SEA LEVEL instead of a height restriction for their
freeway orientated signs, because the fact that they are
dealing with overpasses and distance.
In addition, Bob suggested that a rest way to deal with
the Da.rkenwald's concerns regarding: the signs would be to
designate the commercial area as an overlay district, and
appropriately indicate the district on the map attached to
the Developer's Agreement.
2. SPECIAL ASSESSMENT LANGUAGE --The Developers were concerned
with the language regarding the City`s right to levy for
assessments once the construction has commenced. It was
their request that the Agreement say that the assessments
could not be levied until fall.
It was pointed out that this language follows that of the
State Statute with regards to 429 financed projects. The
developers were also assured that the City has a policy
to hold the assessments hearings in the fall prior to the
time that the assessments have to be recorded at the County
Courthouse.
3. The next issue discussed was that the of the amount of the
Letter of Credit that the City was requesting. The
Developers informed the Council that they felt that, the 30%
was to much to ask for but would be willing to use a Letter
of Credit in the amount of 20%. The reason given was that
when the Developer first approach the City regarding the
project the City was not requiring the use of Letters of
Credit,, then it was put in at place at 60o and later lowered
PAGE 11
to 30% . The Developers feels that 20% would sufficiently
cover the amount of the debt service therefore there was not
the need for the additional 10%.
There was some discussion at this time regarding the
Council's and staff s comfort, level with the 30%, but no
action was taken at this time.
4. PARK LAND DEDICATION --The Developers proposed that the
language in the Agreement pertaining to the transfer of land
and the second installment of money be changed to say that
the money or land would not be due to the City until Phase
II of WESTWIND is developed, because of the fact that the
land will not be accessible until that time.
Some of the Council members expressed their concern
regarding the fact that the land that is being dedicated is
fairly low and may be expensive to develop. There was also
some discussion regarding how much land will be used for the
storm water retention pond that will be needed to handle
some of the excess water that will be generated by the
WESTWIND development.
Thore informed the Council that the retention pond may take
UP some 3 acres of the 14.2 acres being dedicated to the
City. It was pointed out that the construction of this
retention pond would result in the City obtaining the fill
that will have to be removed during the construction. The
Developers also agreed to give to the City any excess dirt
obtained from the construction of the houses and apartments
or from the rough grading if there is any extra.
There was also some discussion regarding the condition of
County Ditch #9 which will receive most of the water from
PAGE 12
the development of WESTWIND. It was agreed that this ditch
will have to looked at closely and if need by the County
will need to look into cleaning it out, since it is under
their jurisdiction.
At this point, the Council did not a decision of the park
land dedication issue, but agreed to pass on it until the
end of the discussion when the Letter of Credit was
discussed.
5. Some other discussion focused on some minor language
clarification that were resolved prior to the meeting of the
Council.
6. There was also some concern regarding the lack of
.-. requirement for notice on the part of the City with regards
to the right of entry onto private property to maintain the
trees and berms in the case that they are not ,properly
maintained by the Developer or the property owner. It was
agreed that the City would provide notice and would clarify
the language regarding the required maintenance of trees,
planting and the berm.
At this point the Council and the Developers went back to the
issues of the Letter of Credit and the park land dedication.
Bob Miller informed the Council that his minimum comfort level
with the the Letter of Credit was 30 and that he felt that the rest
of staff was in agreement with that amount. Bob pointed out that in
the worst case scenario if something was to happen and the the Letter
of Credit would need to be drawn on the 30% would not leave much room
for time delays or court, litigation.
PAGE 13
He pointed out, however, that the amount for which the Letter of
Credit is made out for is a policy decision of the Council and
therefore it is the final decision of the Council. After a little more
discussion the Mayor stated that in past discussion the Council had
made the choice to use a 30 Letter of Credit and still believed that
it provided the the best amount of protection for the rest of the
community, with regards to the generally obligated moneys backing the
improvements.
The park land dedication was discussed in a little more detail
and it was finally agreed that language would be added to allow the
developers to transfer the land and the $6667,00 to the City at, the
time of Phase II of WESTWIND or after a period of two years from the
date of the agreement depending; on which ever came first.
With no other discussion a motion: was made by Dori Cornelius and
^ seconded by Gary Schwen.zfei.er to approve the Developer's Agreement
with the approved changes. All were in favor and the motion carried.
Representatives of Barthel Construction presented to the Council
the plans of the proposed apartments to be located on a 2+ acre parcel
west of Barthel Industrial Drive and 52nd Street.
The proposed apartments will be two 12 unit building of brick and
cedar materials. There will be a two to one parking ratio available
for each family unit as well as a garage for each unit (which is what,
currently required in the City Zoning Ordinance.
Some of the details presented about the complexes included the
following information:
One unit will be the handicapped accessible.
The apartments will have carpeted living rooms, hallways,
etc.
PAGE 14
There will be no decks.
A sleeve will be available with each unit should a tenant
want an air conditioner. (Air Conditioners can not, be
included in the project cost to FmHA.)
Each unit, will have either the east or west sun exposure.
There will be sound buffers between floors and walls. (The
SCT rating is a minimum of 50).
The sidewalks will be the six foot sidewalks with a two feet
overhang leaving four feet to walk on.
The utilities will come in off of Barthel Industrial Drive.
^ Also, there will be front door security. A key must be used
in order to get into the building.
These will be moderate income FmHA apartments. Rents will
be: 1 BR - $260.00, 2 Br - $290.00, 3 BR - $310.00. Garages
are extra.
There was some discussion about the building of the apartments.
It was pointed out that Barthel`s would like to see construction
started by the middle of the summer, if the financing can be lock in
by that time. The Council. looked at the plans and some of the general
discussion focused on the following issues:
It was a concern of one of the Council members that a buffer
would be needed (possibly a double row of pines) between the
apartments and the single family residential homes that
would be looking down on the apartment buildings.
PAGE 15
The entrance to the parking and facilities would be off of
Barthel Industrial Drive and 52nd Street. However, it was
felt that the entrance should be moved further north
allowing for 125 feet between streets and access for better
visibility.
Another area of concern was the location of the dumpster. It
was felt that the area should be moved down so that the
truck would not have to back all the way up the parking lot
to get at the dumpster. It was also suggested that the area
be screened in.
The representatives for Barthel pointed out that they have built
a similar building as to the ones being proposed for Albertville in
Elk River and if any of the members of the Council were interested in
seeing the building he would make arrangements that they could get in.
^ It, was agreed that Dave Wulff would set up an appointment to see the
apartments in Elk River.
Dave asked if the Council would provide a letter to Barthel
Construction stating that they are aware of the project. He assured
the Council that this letter is not a commitment to the design of the
buildings or actual layout, but rather an assurance to the Agency that
the community is aware of the project.
Maureen next informed the Council that, the Planning Commission
had made a recommendation to the Council to approve the final plat for
Braun's Addition pending approval of the developer's agreement.
There was some discussion concerning snow plowing. Ken felt that
since the cul-de-sacs were of an "Eyebrow" design they would cause
problems when it came time to plow snow.
PAGE 16
After some additional discussion, Don Cornelius made a motion to
approve the final plat for Braun`s Addition pending: approval of the
Developer's Agreement. Donatus Vetsch seconded this motion. All were
in favor and the motion carried. The minutes should note that Bob
Braun abstained from voting as this is his plat.
The approval of the Developer's Agreement for Braun`s Addition
was tabled until the next meeting so that Bill Braun would have the
opportunity to review the Agreement.
The Sign Ordinance amendment was tabled until the next meeting.
Bob Miller reviewed with the Council the resolutions for the
approval of plans and specifications for Westwind, Braun"s Addition
and the interceptor as well as the one for Barthel Manor,
Hackenmueller's and Street Improvements.
The Smith Ackermann Developer's Agreement with PPM will be
discussed at the next meeting.
The Engineers next reviewed with the Council in more detail the
plans and specifications for improvement projects being done in the
City this upcoming construction season.
The income received and the bills to be paid were reviewed by the
Council. It was brought to the Council's attention that the check for
Dennis Boese was for $75.00 because the cost of necessary materials to
design the buttons were higher than originally expected. A motion was
made by Donatus Vetsch and seconded by Don Cornelius to approve the
bills. All were in favor and checks 8630 through 6659 were paid.
After hearing some discussion about keeping the expense of the
planning consultant down as much as possible, there was a motion from
PAGE 17
Bob Braun to approve the planning consultant contracts. Don Cornelius
seconded this motion. All were in favor and the motion carried.
The letter to Mr. Herb Singer was included in the Council packet,
for the Council"s review.
The next issue discussed was the vacancy on the Planning
Commission. Kevin Mealhouse and Duane Sweep have both expressed
interest in serving on the Planning; Commission. There will be further
discussion at the next meeting.
Maureen reviewed with the Council the upcoming scheduled
meetings.
The building permits were reviewed and a motion to approve the
permits pending payment was made by Don Cornelius and seconded by Gary
Schwenafeier. All were in favor and the motion carried.
Cary Schwenafeier stated that there was no :Joint Powers meeting:
this months, however he will check with Linda to make sure.
There was no other business so a motion was made by Gary
Schwenafeier and seconded by Donatus Vetsr_h to adjourn the meeting.
All. were in favor and the meeting adjourned.
