COUNCIL MINUTES
JULY 11, 1989
The regilar meeting of the Albertville City Council was called to order
by Mayor Gary Schwenafeier. Members present included Bob Braun, Donatus Vetsch
and Jim Krystosek. Council member Don Cornelius was absent. Others present
included Maureen Andrews, Lorie Villareal, Bob Miller, Bob Sullentrop and Ken
Lindsay.
The agenda for the evening"s meeting was reviewed by the Council. A
motion was made by Bob Braun and seconded by Jim Krystosek to approve the
agenda. All were in favor and the motion carried.
The minutes of the .June 19th meeting were reviewed by the Council. A
correction on page 5, paragraph 2 was made by Bob Sullentrop. The sentence
corrected should have said "It passed the density test but not, the roll test".
Hearing no other corrections or additions, Donates Vetsch made a motion and
Bob Braun seconded it to approve the minutes of June 19th. All were in favor
and the motion carried.
The minutes of the June 28th special meeting were reviewed by the
Council. A motion was made by Jim Krystosek and seconded by Donatus Vetsch to
approve the minutes. All were in favor and the motion carried.
Mr. Ken Tiernan and two representatives of the Albertville Qieen
Committee were present, at, the meeting along with two of the 1989 Miss
Albertville Royalty. Queen Lori Barthel and Princess ,Jade Holland presented to
the Albertville City Council and the City of Albertville a trophy award that
was won by the Albertville Royalty's float in the St. Francis parade. This is
one of the 20 parades the Royalty rides in each year. The trophy will be on
display at City Hall.
The Council then went on to the matter of the public hearings scheduled
for this particular evening.
A motion was made by Donatus Vetsch to call the Public Hearing to order
for the Vacation of Right -of -Way for Existing Park and Ride Lot. This motion
was seconded by Jim Krystosek. All were in favor and the motion carried.
Maureen Andrews then read the public notice.
The minutes should note that Harry and Edna Weber were present at the
public hearing as they are the persons who requested the hearing.
A question was raised by Jim Krystosek as to whether or not the existing
park and ride will be able to be used until the new lot is done. Bob Miller
noted that if the property was vacated at this time that it, would preclude
anyone from using the lot because it would rye under private ownership and
there is then an issue of personal liability for the Weber"s and trespassing.
As long as the property is under the City"s jurisdiction there is not an issue
of liability.
Bob went on to corment that it would be in the best interest to not
approve the vacation until the City has title to the property which is going
to be usedfor the new Park and Ride Lot. It was noted that in an effort to
assure the adjoining property owners of the City`s intent to vacate that the
Council should make a motion requesting the preparation of the necessary paper
work needed to be completed prior to the vacation of title until the other
property is in place and advised the Council to direct the preparation of a
resolution.
Bob stag that he had spoken with the Wright County Attorney, Bill
^ McPhail, and was informed that documents needed for the turn back of the
proposed Park and Ride lot should be completed within a week. The minutes
should also note that Harry Weber then commented that he would be willing to
help in whatever way he can and that he is donating $500 to the project.
A motion was made by Lonatus Vetsch and seconded by ,Jim Krystosek to
close the Public Hearing. All were in favor and the motion carried.
Jim Krystosek made a rwition to approve the resolution to vacate the
right-of-way for the existing Park and Ride Lot and to direct the completion
of the necessary paper work for the new Park and Ride lot. Bob Braun seconded
the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried.
The Council next heard a Joint Powers update.
Gary Schwenzfeier stated that there was nothing significant to report -
the meeting was just the usual proceedings. At that point, Bob Sullentrop
asked Gary to request that Meyer-Rohlin. be present at the next ,Joint Powers
meeting. Action will be cormienced on this request.
The Maintenance Department was heard from next.
Ken gave a brief svnopsis of what the limits have been on the ponds. The
Phosphorus has not been meeting limits and the ponds have had to be treated
twice with alone. The transferring of water has been real. slow - this is the
fourth day.
-2-
Ken informed the Council that there appears to be a number of addresses
in the City where the driveways are washing out and there is dirt and sludge
in the streets, Also, there are some areas where the weeds are bad or the
lawns are trashy.
It, was brought to the Council"s attention that two individuals have
already been sent the letter on the weeds and the rest will be sent the
standard weed letter. A letter will be composed and sent out concerning the
dirt wash outs to those residences affected.
The cleaning of the sewer lines has now been completed and tree lines were
found to be in good shape. Grease was found in the line by the school acid
there was lots of soap in the lines.
The Council was told. by Ken that the overhead garage door on the shop
needs to be repaired. There has been a moisture problem with the panels and
some sections have been replaced in the past Wt not the entire door. Ken
obtained one quote from Automatic garage Door C,xmpany to give the Council an
idea of what it would cost to repair the door. To replace the three sections
it would cost $558.50 installed. To replace the existing; door with a new
insulated door, the cost would be $685.00.
After some discussion, the Council told Ken to obtain three quotes to
^ have available for the next meeting and to check on the difference between
wood or steel do(.-)rs.
Approval of the preliminary plat for Westwind was next.
The Planning Commission has meld a public hearing and recommend approval
pending the drainage and elevation be looked at. The minutes should note that
there were no conmnents from the Planning Commission members who were present.
John Uarkenwald expressed the concern that John-i,eorge, Inc. has over the
park dedication fees for Westwind - Phase II.
The Council directed Maureen and Bob Miller to meet with ,John-Ge-orge,
Inc, to discuss the language in the existing developers agreement. This was
put into a motion by Jim Krystosek and seconded by Bob Braun. All were in
favor and the motion carried.
Bob Braun made a motion to continue the approval of preliminary plat for
Westwind until the next regular meeting. Donatus Vetsch seconded the motion.
All were in favor and the motion carried.
Planning Cocrunission member Donatus Vetsch called the Public Hearing, to
order on the coriditional use permit for Donatus Vetsch to allow for an
addition to an existing storage shed. The hearing was then turned back to the
C:)uncil.
-3-
Maureen Andrews then read the hearing notice.
A variance is being requested as the proposed building is exceeding the
square footage allowed.
The Planning Commission and the City Council were informed that the
current ordinance (Section 1(?-3.4; Subd. b3) states that ... The total floor
area of either an attached garage or a detached garage for a single family
detached dwelling shall not exceed seven hundred (700) square feet of floor
area and not exceed the ground coverage of the dwelling, except by condition
use.
It was noted that, request was to allow for the square footage for the
combination of garage and storage shed to equal 1,138.98 square feet and
excess of 438.98 square feet. It was pointed out that in this particular
situation that the excess is justified because of the fact that there is an
unusually large garage attached to the house because it was built as a
handicapped accessible home. Secondly it was noted that the intent of the
addition is for addition to a hobby shop and shall not be construed as an
additional gar:g;e.
There was a question regarding an additional shed on the property and
whether or not it would stay on the site. The Council and the Planning
Commission was informed that this shed would be moved off the property as soon
as the new addition was completed.
The Planning Commission noted that they had discussed the 700 square foot
maxirro,mi requirement and would be addressing their concerns with David Licht to
have it amended,
A motion was then made by Don Berning and seconded by Kevin Mealhouse to
close the public hearing. All were in favor and the motion carried.
Hearing no other comments or questions Don Berning made a motion from the
Planning Commission to the Council recommending that the conditional use
permit be granted. Kevin Mealhouse seconded the motion. All were in favor and
the motion carried. The minutes should note that Donatus Vetsch abstained from
voting.
Bob Braun made a motion to accept the recorrz)endation from the Planning
Commission and to grant the conditional use permit. Jim Krystosek seconded the
motion. All were in favor and the motion carried. The minutes should note that
Donates Vetsch abstained from voting.
The Council heard an Engineering update next.
Bob Sullentrop reported that the ditch along C.S.A.H. #37 and Westwind
has been cleaned up. Sod will be put down in order to help soak up some of the
excess water that is standing in the ditch.
-4-
The right-of-way has been leveled out and has also been mowed.
Some of the curbs in the Westwind area have settled and are in the
process of being replaced.
The roll test on the Class 5 gravel did not pass - probably due to
drainage backup from the winter. It will have to be tore up and put, back down.
The geo-tech mat and twelve inches of Class 5 have been put down in
Savitski`s project. The road is now ready for paving.
At this point, Donatus asked whether or riot anything is being done about
the railroad crossing on C.S.A.H.`s #19 and #37. Maureen stated that this
property is right-of-way that belongs to the County and a letter was sent to
the County requesting that they look into the issue. Maureen will again check
with the County.
The Feasibility Report for the I-94 Watermain Crossing and for Water and
Sanitary Sewer Along the Frontage Road North of I-94 was discussed. Bob noted
to the Council that, the report was written in two parts, the first, dealing -
with the crossing of 1-94 with the water line and secondly the cost of
installing utilities on the north side of freeway.
^ As noted in the report and in previous discussions, the City had place a
21 inch reinforced concrete pipe across 1-94 prior to the construction of the
freeway with the intention that the watermain would be installed at a later
date to service the area north of the freeway. Since the existing casing is
not in goodd condition, apparently damaged from highway construction the exact
size carrier pipe that will now work has not been determined.
Normally the casing pipe is approximately 10 inches bigger than the
carrier pipe to allow room for the bells on the ends of each section of pipe
and the skids used to move the pipe into place. If the existing casing was in
good condition, the maxiz'ium size carrier that could be installed wound be most
likely be a 12-inch pipe.
U,ie to a misalignment of the casing pipe, concern has been raised
regarding what size carrier pipe will slide into the casing. The size of pipe
that will fit into the casing in turn raises additional concern regarding
adequate water pressure in the line.
The report notes that the smaller the size the carrier pipe becomes the
less water pressure there is. The report notes that using pipe sized at 14",
12" or 10" will provide for only a minimal pressure drop., the use of 8" line
would provide less pressure but would likely Service the development between
the two lakes. In installation of a h inch line would not be acceptable
because of the pressure drop.
-5-
Based on these findings and the fact that the City
determined what size carrier will work the Feasibility Report has
down into the following categories:
Nee , 1 ing . 14 inch Carrier
Construction $48, 625. W-
Engineering (13%) 6,320.00

Construction $26,155.00
Engineering (13%) 3,4W.00
Contingencies (5%) 1,310.00
$30,865.W
The report noted that the costs estimates for the various pipe size does
not include any cost for digging the casing 12p, cleaning it out, and
determining what size carrier pipe will iii fact fit inside the existing
casing.
The next section of the report, deals with the installation of water and
sewer mains north of I-94.
O r _ R.. 411r.._
The watermain would be placed on the north side of the frontage
road, from the western end to across CSAH 37 and would consist of
approximately 2580 feet of 12 inch ductile iron pipe (DIP). Hydrants
would be placed every 350 feet, per the .Joint Powers` requirements.
Services would be extended to the property lines lot the lots along the
frontage road. The CSAH 37 crossing would consist of approximately 61
feet of steel casing with a 12-in carrier. The casing and carrier would
be jacked and bored under the highway.
-6-
WZ03TOWSTMIMINr
The sanitary sewer would also be placed on the north side of the
frontage road, from the western end to across CSAH 37. It would consist
of approximately 2595 feet of 10-inch PVC sewer pipe. Approximately 600
feet on the western end would have to be insulated because of shallow
dept. Services would be extended to the property lines for the lots
along the frontage road.. The CSAH 37 crossing would consist of
approximately 72 feet of 20 inch steel casing with a 10 inch ductile iron
carrier. The casing and carrier would again be jacked and bored under
the highway.
Proposed invert elevation of the manhole at the western end of the
sanitary sewer would be approximately 943.2. The ordinary high water
(OHW) level of the lakes is 947.3. The lowest floor elevation of any
structure must be three feet, above the OHW elevation, resulting in a
minimum floor elevation of 950.3. Therefore, this manhole would be the
furthest that the gravity sewer could be extended. In order to service
the proposed School Lake Development, a lift station would need to be
located at the southern end of the development. A forcemain would be
extended to this manhole.
The proposed invert elevation of the manhole on the eastern end of
^ the sanitary sewer would be approximately 944.5. Although there would be
sufficient rover over the sewer at this point, the ground elevation drops
at the southern part of the Phil Morris property, with 947 being the
lowest elevation of the wet land area. Therefore, in order to develop the
lower areas of this property and still utilize a gravity sewer.,
significant amounts of filling would be rewired. An earthwork balance
to determine if cuts and fills would balance within this property, has
not been done.
This section of the report has been further broken down to provide the
costs for the portion of the water laying east and west and sewer mains of the
I-94 crossing and for sewer the dividing point was the existing 12 inch
interceptor.

The total project cost for water and sanitary sewer along the frontage
road is estimated to be $159,25lO.W. The minutes should note that this amount
does not include any of the financing costs associated with the installation
of the improvements.
A motion to accept the Feasibility Report for the 1-94 Watermain Crossing
and for Water and Sanitary Sewer Along the Frontage Road North of 1-94 was
made by Bob Braun and seconded by ,Jim Krystosek. All were in favor and the
motion carried.
An update on the Wastewater Treatment Facility issue was discussed. Bob
informed the Council that he had prepared a letter to the MPCA on the changes
that Ken is proposing at the Wastewater Treatment Facility and had given it, to
Ken Lindsay for review. Maureen noted that a copy should be put on filed with
her office of any communication with MPCA.
Bob also noted that it was the opinion of Meyer-Rohlin that what Ken is
proposing for the plant is a good idea and would likely work that the
engineers are riot sure that not whether or not it is needed at this time,
feeling that it might be somewhat premature. He noted that they do not feel
that all the other avenues have been address to cut down on the transfer time -
and that the City should exhaust those before this solution is tried.
Ken Lindsay t�xk issue with this statement by possibly having
misinterpreted what Bob had said. Bob tried to clarify that they were not
questioning whether or riot the solution would work, but rather it`s timing.
Ken noted again that he can not, complete the pond transfer and discharge in
the prescribed time allotted by MPCA.
After some additional discussion, it was agreed that the Council, Ken,
Maureen and the engineers should meet out at, the Wastewater Treatment Facility
and walk through the situation before any other action is taken on the matter.
The income received and the bills to be paid were reviewed by the
x..)uncil. The Pat's "66" bill was questioned as to what the expenditures are
-8-
for. Hearing no other questions, Bob Braun nude a motion and Donatus Vetsch
seconded it to approve the income received and the bills to be paid. All were
in favor and checks number 9683 through 9722 were paid.
Information on the Wright County Comprehensive Water Plan was included in
the packet for the Councils review. The minutes should note that, the City of
Albertville's plan will meet the County requirements.
The Albertville Friendly City Days Committee has requested the City to
cover the $250.00 expense of the tent rental for Friendly City Days since the
City did not pay for any of the electricity. It was noted that the reason the
City did not have the electrical expense was the fact treat, the generators the
City had rented for the weekend were cancelled.
Maureen was questioned about what expenses the City did incur for
Friendly City Days. It was noted that, not, all the bills have come in yet,
noting that the bill from T&S Trucking was still out standing. Based on this
information the City has incurred:
Miss Albertville Committee $400.00
Float License 13.50
Street Sweeping 200. per} ±
Paper and Printing 50.00
^ Portable Toilets 320.00
Total $983.50
It was suggested that in the upcoming years that the City donate a
certain dollar amoLuit and make the committee responsible to covering any the
the above noted expenses.
Hearing no other comments a motion was made by Donatus Vetsch tX-) pay
$250.00 for the rental of the tents. The motion was then seconded by ,Jim
Krystosek. All were in favor and the motion carried.
The minutes should note that the Council will be looking at the 1990
Friendly City Days expenditures during the budgeting process.
The next issue before the Council was the appointment, of the Building
Committee for the Fire Station - City Hall. There was some discussion
regarding the size of the committee and who would serve on it. After some
discussion it, was decided that, the Council would wait until the members had
had an opportunity to talk with some people to see if they would be interested
in serving on the committee.
In a related matter, a motion was made by Donatus Vetsch and seconded by
Bob Brawl, directing Maureen to prepare a Request For Proposal for the Needs
Assessment and possible design of building. All were in favor and the motion
carried. The minutes should note that the Council asked that 4 architects be
asked to present proposals to the Council.
-9-
As a matter of update, the Council was informed that Dan Wilson and
Maureen Andrews had been before the Wright County Board that morning to
discuss with them the City's proposal to capture the tax increment off of two -
proposed apartments. Maureen explained that the plan had been presented to the
Board and their questions had been answered. It was noted that they had made
a motion to make "no comment" on the project, recogriizing the fact that they
had the choice to make negative comment, no comment or positive continent on the
use of the proceeds. The minutes should note that the public hearing on the
tax increment financing plan is scheduled for July 17th at 7:30.
The Council commented on the recycling articles presented in the agenda
packet. It was suggested that the City P-it aside some time to develop our
recycling and garbage plan in more detail.
Other informational items included in the G.-)nzcil packet had included the -
Sheriff's Report for the month of May and information pertaining to the NEW
PROPERTY TAX LAW provided by Juran and Moody.
Hearing no other continents or questions a motion was made for adjournment.
The motion was made by Donatixs Vetsch and seconded by Jim Krystosek. All were
in favor and the motion carried.
