COUNCIL MINUTES
June 4, 1990
The regular meeting of the Albertville City Council was called to order
by Acting Mayor Dcn Cornelius, Mayor Gary Schwenzfeier arrived late. Members
present included Bob Brain, Don Cornelius, Donates Vetsch and Jim Krystosek.
Others present included Maureen Andrews, Bob Miller, Kevin Mealhouse, Jackie
Peterson, and Ken Lindsay.
-- The agenda for the evening-s meeting was reviewed by the Council. A
motion was made by Bob Brun and seconded by Jim Krystosek. All were in favor
and the motion carried.
The minutes of the May 21st meeting were reviewed and approved. A motion
was made by Donatus Vetsch and seconded by Jim Krystosek. All were in favor
and the motion was carried.
The first item on the agenda was the Park Edge Subdivision.
Maureen Andrews informed the Council that Barthel Construction had
submitted an application for the rezoning and subdivision of a parcel of land
located directly west of the intersection of Barthel and Drive and 52nd
Street. The proposal included a request to rezone the property from a "K-8",
Mixed Housing District to a Planned Unit Development (PUD) District and for
Preliminary Plat Approval of the Parks Edge Subdivision.
Maureen. reviewed with the Council the findings of the Planning Report
from Northwest Associated Consultants, Inc. Some of the points noted included
discussion on the following issues:
1. Land use for the proposed use and its relationship to the surrounding
land use.
It was noted that the land uses surrounding this property
included the following zoning designations:
North Single Family R-3
South Public Park R-3
East Industrial I-1
West Single Family R-3
It was also noted that this area serves as a transition between
the Industrial Park and the Single -Family Residential land uses.
The Comprehensive Plan designated the land use of the said area
as high density residential development (10 or more unites per
acre) because its location to the Industrial Park, the odd
configuration of the site and the difficulty of providing a
single family type subdivision within its boarders.
The submitted preliminary plat does provide a gradation in land
use via varied lot sizes and provides a functionally efficient
division of property which minimizes the adverse effects of the
adjacent industrial park.
It was noted that to allow a deviation from the proposed land
use in the Comprehensive plan is a policy decision for the
Council to make and should be done prior to approving the
rezoning and the preliminary plat.
2. The appropriateness of the use of Planned Unit Development (PUD)
zoning.
It was noted that due to the odd configuration of the site, the
applicant requested a PUD zoning designation to allow a number
of lots to lie smaller than typical R-8 requirements. The PUD
zoning would allow smaller lots to be situated along the
industrial park and the larger lots to abut similar sized
single family lots which lie to the west.
It was further noted that because of the odd configuration of
the site, strict conformance of the sits existing R-8
requirements would impair the reasonable development of the
property. It was also pointed out that the City does maintain
ultimate control in establishing the performance standards
within a PUD District.
1. The size of the lots within the plat.
It was noted that the lot size range from 9,600 to 19,161 square
PAGE 2
feet in size with an average lot measuring 12, 119 square feet.
It was noted that even though the subdivision's average lot size
is less than 12,500 square feet typically required within r-8
districts, the proposed lot areas are considered acceptable via
the provision of the PUD.
2. Lot setback.
The preliminary plat conforms with the minimum R-8 requirements
of 25 feet rear yard setbacks.
Because of the flexibility allowed in the PUD District the
interior yard setbacks do not have to be in as strict
conformance with the R-8 requirements. The plan proposed less
stringent setbacks than the standard which were commented on by
the Planner.

It was also rooted that to further improve the aesthetics and
improve lot functioning, notably parking that it was being
suggested that the single family homes be situated in a manner
in which attached garages are setback as far as possible. The
report included house footprints to further clarify this matter.
3. Streets size and location.
The subdivision is to be accessed via a single cul-de-sw from
Barthel Drive which is considered positive because it reinforces
an inward neighborhood focus and also minimizes the negative
impacts (i.e., noise, views, pedestrian safety) produced by
stop -and -go semi -truck trailer traffic.
Because of the narrowness of the lot the subdivision is designed
with a 40 foot wide right-of-way, with a 37 foot driving surface
instead of the normal 60 foot R.O.W. which is required by
Ordinance. The plan does show a 60 foot radius on the cul-de-sac
to provide for appropriate maneuvering space for emergency
vehicles.
4. Site grading and drainage.
The plan submitted indicates a significant amount of earthwork
needs to be completed on Lots 2, 3, and 4 prior to the
construction of homes. The grading plan needs to be modified to
PAGE 3
guard. against any adverse erosion upon the adjacent westerly
properties. Plans will need to be further reviewed and commented
on by the City Engineer.
5. Public Utilities.
Plans were submitted for preliminary water and sanitary sewer
installation but will be subject to review and comment of the
City Engineer.
This section of the report dealt with steps needed to be taken
to lessen the potential negative impacts of the close proximity
of the industrial park and the adjacent high volume roadway
(Barthel Drive).
It was suggested that both berming and coniferous tree plantings
be placed along the subdivision's eastern border within the
Barthel Drive right-of-way, which will need to be maintained by
the adjacent property owners.
�. 7. Park dedication.
The plan does not provide for any park. dedication. According to
Section A-600.15 of the City Subdivision Ordinance, a cash
contribution may be provided in lieu of lazed dedication. Per
the Ordinance, a cash contribution of $170.00 per dwelling unit
shall be required, which would total $1,530.00. This issue shall
be subject further review of the Council.
The report reiterates that fact that if the request is approved that the
City`s Comprehensive Plan will need to be amended, again noting that the
decision of appropriate use is a policy matter to be determined by City
Officials.
If the City, finds single family development to be an acceptable use upon
the subject site, the firm would recommend approval of the requested rezoning
from R-8, Mixed Housing District to PUD, Planned Unit Development as well as
the submitted preliminary plat. The approvals, however shall be contingent
upon the fulfillment of the conditions described later in these minutes.
It was noted that at the time of the public hearing the issue of single
stall garages were raised. It was pointed out that this discussion had not
been part of the original application and therefore had not been formally
commented on by the Planner or the Planning Commission.
The Council was informed that the Planning- Commission had commented on
the matter, indicating that they did not feel that it was appropriate to allow
single stall garages when the Ordinance required two stall garages. It was
noted that David Licht had commented as well, pointing out that financial
justification (FmHA Financing for new construction) is not enough
justification to providing for the deviation to the Ordinance.
Mayor Gary Schwenzfeier raised the question of what does the P.U.D do for
the property? The Council was informed by Bob Miller that the P.U.D allows
for more flexibility in handling land that doesn`t meet the normal zoning
standards.
Ken pointed out that the preliminary plat did not include a walkway from
Lansing Circle to the Four Season Park. He pointed out that the other
cal -du -sacs adjacent to the park have access provided and suggested that
because of the plat's location to Barthel Drive that it might be advantageous
to do so here as well. It was that a walk path be located between lot #4 and
5 to access the playground and. eliminate people from walking across property
owner's grass.
Ion Cornelius expressed concern that the homes on Barthel Drive would
lower the value of the adjacent house. He felt that the public might not
realize how small and close together the houses will be.
Maureen Andrews noted that even though the lots are smaller that they
will still allow for standard housing to be situated on the property. She
also noted that the Zoning Ordinance requires that a house have a minimum
floor area of 960 square feet for a two bedroom home and 1,040 for a three
bedroom of main floor living.
Bob Miller pointed out that he felt that a declaration be included to not
allow access on Barthel Drive, requiring that all driveways access onto
Lansing Circle.
Don Cornelius questioned who will maintain the berm. After discussion the
Council agreed that the residents adjacent to the berm shall be responsible
for the maintenance of the berm after purchase of the property, with the
stipulation that they do not alter the design or make changes without the
City's approval. The berm on the vacant lots would be the responsibility of
the builder_. It was further noted that this would be included as part of the
Developer's Agreement.
There was some discussion regarding the number of lots shown in the
preliminary plat. It was pointed out that the original draft of the plat
showed two cal -chi -sacs with 5 lots on one and 4 an the other. There was was
some concern regarding the size of the lots and it was suggested the maybe the
developers should consider the passibility of reducing the plat by one lot to
make the lots abutting Barthel Drive a little larger_
L-L
Mayor Gary Schwenzfeier asked Dave Wolff if Barthel Construction would be
opposed to cutting back one lot to allow for more space between the houses for
lawn and walkways. Dave expressed that it would be very difficult to do and
still keep this a feasible single dwelling project.
Staff noted that the reduction in the number of lots will not likely add
a lot to the subdivision because the major problem with the plat is the dept
of lots 7, 8, and 9 not the width. Bob Miller noted that because of the
constraints due to land configuration there is not much that can be done to
add any additional debt to the lots.
It was also noted that another problem with reducing the number of lots
in the subdivision has to do with the pending and current assessments on the
lot. It was pointed out that to make the project cash flow, the subdivision
needs to have enough lots to justify the expense of the public improvements.
The Council was reminded that the parcel of land in question already has
special assessments levied against it for the improvement of Barthel Drive and
will have additional assessments levied in the future for the public
improvements within the subdivision.
Bob Braun noted his concern regarding the downzoning of the property from
the R-8, Mixed Housing District designated for multiple housing to the PUD
zoning for the single family subdivision. Bob questioned whether it was wise
to down zone the property when the City knows that multiply housing is a good
transitional zone between the industrial park and the single family housing.
He pointed out that there was no assurance that Barthel Construction will not
come back to the City to request the rezoning of some of the land that is
currently zoned I-1, Light Industrial to multiple when the market will support
this housing type.
Bob Miller pointed out that the City's Comprehensive Plan provides a
guideline for how the land should be developed and used and that the Council
will be able to address the issue if it was ever to arise. He also noted that
there should be a balance of single family and multiple housing in a City.
He pointed out how there has been problems with some older cities having
to many rental units and the various problems it causes. He suggested that the
City try to keep the multiple housing to a maximum of 25% rental units. With
rental units you will have a lot of transient movement of people and that home
owners tend to stay and take better care of their own property.
Hearing no other questions or comments a series of motions regarding the
Park's Edge Subdivision were approved.
A motion was made to amend the Comprehensive Plan to reflect the change
from High Density Housing to Single family was made. The motion was made by
Donatus Vetsch and steed by Jim Krystosek. All were in favor and the
motion carried..
A motion was made to approve the rezoning of the R-8; Mixed Housing
District to PUD= Planned Unit Development District and to direct staff to
prepare the amendment to the Zoning Map reflecting the change. The motion was
made by Donatus Vetsch and seconded by Don Cornelius. All were in favor and
the motion carried.
A motion was made to approve the preliminary plat for Parks Edge with
the stipulations recommended by the planners. The recommendations are as
follows-
1. A Comprehensive Plan amendment is approved which allows the
subject plat to be consistent with the City"s land use plan.
2. Front yard setbacks imposed upon Lots 7-9 of the subject plat
are increased from 20 to 25 feet to provide greater visual and
functional consistency within the subdivision.
3. Single family homes to be constructed within the subdivision are
configured in a manner in which attached garages are setback to the
furthest extent possible. Such a configuration is intended to lessen
the visual impact of minimal front yard setbacks and visually open
the neighborhood Plus Provide more off-street parking. Building
design and garage Position on Lots 7, 8 and 9 shall therefore be
subject to approval of the City Building Official.
4. The proposed 40 foot street right-of-way is found to be acceptable by
the City Engineer.
5. The submitted grading and drainage plan is modified to identify
specific erosion control measures. The plan shall be subject to the
review and comment of the City Engineer.
6. The utility plan is subject to review and comment by the City
Engineer.
7. Both berming and coniferous tree plantings are provided along
the subdivision's eastern border within the Barthel Drive
right-of-way. Such a barrier will visually and audibly screen
negative impacts associated with the adjacent industrial park. The
said landscaping is to be maintained by adjacent property owners.
That a declaration be added to the Developer's Agreement that no
alteration of the berming shall be allowed.
8. The subject plat meets the City`s park land dedication
requirements and is subject to review by the City Park Board. And
that a walkway will be required from the plat to the Four Season-s
Park. It was further stipulated that if it was not feasible to
install the walkway to the park within the plats current design that
the plat size should be reduced by one lot to compensate for the
needed space_
9. A declaration will be added to the Developer-s Agreement requiring
all driveway access shall be on Lansing Circle and no driveways will
be allowed to front on Barthel Drive.
10. Other comments as may be made by the City Administrator, City
Building Official, City Engineer and City Attorney.
The motion was made by Bob Braun and seconded by Donatus Vetsch. All
were in favor and the motion carried.
The next item of the agenda was Maintenance.
Ken updated the Council on the new playground, informing them that it had
been delivered and will be installed within the next couple weeks. He also
noted that the blacktopping is in the process of being dome for the walkways
and the basketball court.
Ken informed the Council that he went ahead and added the extra 80 feet
to the waterline construction so that the waterline will be looped into the
Parks Edge Subdivision. The cost of the extra 80 feet will be picked up under
the 429 Improvement Project for the subdivision.
Ken also pointed out that the bases and the pitchers mound are missing at
the ball park. He expressed concern that there is a problem with the Park
Board and that there should be some kind of guideline drawn up for them to
follow.
Ken asked the Council when interviewing for the new maintenance employee
will begin. The Council is trying to schedule time for reviewing the
applications and will try to schedule interviews as soon as possible.
Ken raised the issue of the water drainage problem, and what can be done
to resolve it. Ken and Bob Miller walked the problem areas prior to the
meeting to see if they could determine were the problem is and what legal
obligation the City,Township Developers and residents in the Green Haven
Subdivision have.
Bob Miller brought up 3 points that have to be considered.
I. We don`t know the history of who installed the drainage tiles. There
is the question whether the drainage line is public or private, was
the installation of the tile a joint effort by several of the areas`
residents and was the City involved with assisting in the financing
of the line or was it a private drain tile. Bob noted that without
knowing the answers to these questions we may not be able to
determine who is responsible for repairs.
2) We may never know the entire history.
3) The City may not have any authority to have the corrections made.
• He
The Council discussed the possibility of getting some of the long term
residents of the town together for a meeting to combine old memories to get
the story of what really happened. The point was raised whether or not this
information would hold up in a Court of Law- Bob responded that "Old memories
are good memories in Court." It was then discussed that if it is determined
that the City of Albertville had contributed to the initial installation of
the tile then we should share in the cost along with Frankfort Township and
the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
Bob Miller updated the Council on the discussion regarding the pending
Payment of the building permits for Loren Kohnen. Bob informed the Council
that he had met with Kevin and they had gone through the permits again. Bob
said that he would be preparing a report on his findings.
There was discussion regarding a memo received by Northwest Associated
Consultants. Inc- regarding adult entertainment. and the possibility of
updating the Albertville-s` 'Zoning Ordinances. The memo suggests the Adult
Bookstores be restricted from being located within 10H feet of a day-care
operation, 3W feet of a church, and 400 feet of a single family residential
neighborhood, to prevent future controversy in the City, if an Adult Bookstore
wish to locate in Albertville. A motion was made by Jim Krystosek and
seconded by Bob Braun. All was in favor and the motion carried.
A motion was made to approve the Income Received and Bills to be paid.
The motion was made by Don Cornelius and seconded by Jim Krystosek. All were
in favor and checks 10536 through 10585 were approved_
There was discussion regarding Kevin Roden`s garage addition. NSP said
that he has to have a 9 foot vertical and 12 foot horizontal clearance. Kevin
will try to reduce the garage to get the clearance. There was no further
discussion �ussion regarding this matter.
The Council next reviewed the bids on the purchase and installation of an
air conditioner for the City Hall. At the present there are 2 bids in on the
Project- Comparing the two, it was pointed out that it was not a fair
comparison since one of the bids did not include the duct work installation.
The Council felt that the cost of the Air Conditioners were too expensive. A
motion was made by Don Cornelius, to have the two bids redone. The bids are
both to include the oast of a 2.5 & 3.0 tan air conditioner and duct work
needed. Also to get a couple more bids from other companies with the same
information. When all the bids are in, the motion is also to accept the lowest
cost. The motion was seconded by Bob Braun. All was in favor and the motion
was carried.
The subject of the driveways that are caving in the Westwind
Subdivision. There was discussion as to why this is happening. It was pointed
out by Jim Krystosek that it is due to the draught of the past couple years.
-, Since the ground is dry it prevents the construction crew from being able to
compact the soil ems. After time and rain the soil settles and causes the
big holes.
Donatus Vetsch and Kevin Mealbouse pointed out that the water shut off
valves were placed in bad locations. It was requested that future plats are to
be in the middle of the lots. The Council discussed having Kevin Mealhouse do
the inspections on the valves since it is part of the housing inspection.
Donatus Vetsch expressed his concern regarding the removal of the dead
bushes and trees before Friendly City Days. After some discussion it was
decided that the maintenance crew had to many other things to take care of
before Friendly City Days and that the City would hire V&E Landscaping to
clean it up.
The Council briefly discussed the problem of what happened to the City,
signs. Mayor Gary Schwenzfeier said that they were to bank up by Wednesday.
There was also questions as to what happened to the Albertville sign. Someone
has been charging the letters around. With no further discussion the Council
requested Ken to look into the matter.
Jim Krystosek suggested the City run a notice in the paper to inform the
residents of the recycling schedule. He pointed out that it was wind the day
the containers and notices were delivered to the residents, and that some of
the notices may have blown away.
A motion was made to adjourn the meeting. The motion was made by Bob
Braun and seconded by Donatus Vetsch. All were in favor and the motion
carried.

The regular meeting of the Albertville City Council was called to order
by Mayor Gary Schwenzfeier. Members present included Bob Braun, Don Cornelius,
Donatus Vetsch and Jim Krystosek. Others present included Maureen Andrews, Bob
Miller, Thore Meyer, Brad Farnham, Jackie Peterson, Sgt. Bill Correll and Ken
Lindsay.
The agenda for the evenings meeting was reviewed by the Council. A
motion was made by Don Cornelius and seconded by Donatus Vetsch. All were in
favor and the motion carried.
The minutes of the May 7th meeting were reviewed and discussed. Donatus
Vetsch questioned the information regarding the information regarding the
purchase of the park equipment. In an effort to clarify the issue the
following information should be included in the minutes.
The total cost of the equipment was $11,632.00 minus a $442.00
discount if all the items were purchased. This price included some items
which were to be purchased by the Albertville Jaycees. The amount of the
Jaycee-s items amounted to $2,692.00 minus the discount.
The breakdown of the purchase price is as follows:
TOTAL COST $11,632.00

It should be noted that this price does not include the cost of
installation of concrete to install the the equipment to safety
standards.
Hearing no other questions or comments a motion was made by Bob
Braun and seconded by Jim Krystosek to approve the quote from FLANNAGAN
SALES, INC. for the purchase of the playground equipment plus the
concrete. All were in favor and the motion carried.
Ken noted that there needed to be a correction made in paragraph 3, page
3. The sentence should read ...A motion was made to accept Ray Varner's letter
Of resignation and hire Mike ��tkowski temporarily until a permanent
replacement could be hire.
Hearing no other comments or questions a n7ition was made by Jim Krystosek
and seconded by Don Cornelius. All were in favor and the motion carried.
The first item on the agenda was the approval of the appointment to the
secretary's position.
The Council was informed that the committee had interviewed nine -
candidates for the position and had an additional interview with the two
finalist for the position. The Council packet included a copy of finalist's
resume' for the Council review.
The Council was informed that Jackie Peterson was being recommended for
the position because the committee felt that she had the most well rounded
experience and would really add a lot to the job.
There was some discussion regarding salary. It was agreed that Jackie
should be started out at $7.25 an hour and in 30 days her job performance
would be reviewed and at that time the Council would consider increasing the
salary rate. It should be noted that this decision does not supersede the
Personnel Policy which requires that a new emp'oy--be on a 6 month
probationary period.
Jim Krystosek asked if the City could require that Jackie to move to
town? It was noted that the City really can not require any employee to live
in town, but in the case of an essential service employee (i.e. snow plow
operator) can be required to live within a certain travel distance so than
they can be assured to get to work on an emergency basis.
Hearing no other discussion a motion was made by Don Cornelius and
seconded by Donatus Vetsch to hire Jackie Peterson for the Secretary's
Position.. All were in favor and the motion carried.
A motion was made by Donatus Vetsch and seconded by Jim Krystosek to
start the position out at $7.25 an hour for 90 days and then review job
performance for a raise consideration. All were in favor and the motion
carried.
PAGE 2
The next item on the agenda was Maintenance.
Ken brought to the Council's attention that there have been some problem
with the installation of sewer and water lines in the Westwind Subdivision. It
appears that there was not proper compaction around the pipe.
Ken suggested that the ordinance be changed to require Schedule 40 pipe
and in addition would establish a compaction standard for refilling the
trench.
It was questioned whether the City was problems with all the contractors
installing the sewer and water lines or if it was just one or two contractors
that seemed to have the problem. it was noted that most of the problems have
been with just on contractor.
Kevin Mealhouse consented that he had some concern regarding the two
suggestions that, Ken had raised.
The first being that if the City establishes compaction standards that
then there would need to be some type of compaction testing done to relieve
the City of any liability if the compaction was not done correctly.
Secondly, he noted that the State Plumbing Code stipa.lates what type of
materials must bP used for installation of sewer and water lines and that if
the City deviated from those standards that they could be found to be in
violation of the Plumbing Code.
Bob Miller noted that it was his opinion that the problem was really
between the Developer and the subcontractor doing the installation of the
lines. It was suggested that; the developers should be made aware of the
problem so that it does not arise again in the future.
There was a question raised regarding what the City could do to help
eliminate this type of problem from happening in the future. It was again
stressed that, it is important that, the developers are made aware of the
problem so that they can be assured by their subcontractors that the lines
will be proper backfilled.
There was also discussion regarding the sewer inspection permits and
after hour inspections. It, was noted that there have been several instances
that jobs are not completed on time and inspections need to take place after
the Maintenance Department has finished for the day. It was agreed that the
City should not be responsible for the overtime charged for this work. One way
around this is that the Council could reinstate the After Hour Inspection fee
for these instances. It was noted that common sense should be used for
determining when this charge should be enforced.
A motion was made by Donatus Vetsch and seconded by Don Cornelius to
reinstate the After Hour Inspection fee at $25.00. All were in favor and the
motion carried.
PAGE 3
Ken next, brought to the Council's attention that there has been
additional driving occurring on the dike at the Waste Water Treatment
Facility. No action was taken on this matter.
The issue regarding the storm water drainage problem in and along the
frontage roads in both Albertville and Frankfort Township were discussed. Ken
informed the Council that he had been told by the Frankfort Maintenance
Superintendent that the Township does not intend to correct the problem and is
waiting for the City of Albertville to come in and fix it.
It was noted that pictures have been taken of the drainage problem so
that there is accurate records of high the water is getting because of the
fact that the water has no outlet to drain.
Bob Miller was questioned about what was the City"s responsibility in a
situation such as this one. Bob noted that there could be some serious problem
that arise out of this situation.
Some of the points raised included:
1. Did the plat in Frankfort Township include public drai-riage easements
or were they private easements and if so were they accepted as part
of the plat?
2. Is the drainage system public or private. If the pipe is considered
public there could be some recourse to get the problem resolved, bit
if the system is private there is no obligation to correct the
problem.
It was agreed that Bob should look into the matter in more detail to set'
if there is some solution to the problem.
Bob Miller was asked if the temporary construction easements for the
construction of the water line for the Four Season's Park had been completed.
Ken informed the CADuncil that the installation of the line was expected to be
done by the end of the week or the early part of the following week.
There was some discussion regarding how much of an easement the City
needed from the two adjoining property owners. It was noted that it would
helpful if the City could get 25 feet from Keith Aalderks and 15 feet from Ken
Wacker. This wculd allow for enough room to get the line installed and store
the extra dirt on the site.
It was suggested that a work meeting be scheduled within the next couple
weeks to discuss the construction of the Maintenance Facility. No action was
taken on setting up a meeting until schedules could be checked to see when
time would be available.
There had been a request for some additional gravel to be installed in
the Park and Ride Lot, Ken said that he would go out and do the necessary work
PAGE 4
in the parking lot in the next few weeks.
Ken was reminded that they should plan on filling in the hole by the Lamp
Post In when the blacktopning is being done in the park. Ken noted that there
were some other spot around town that needed some patching done as well.
Brad Farnham next made a presentation to the Council regarding the issue
of 1st Time Home Owner money.
Brad explained to the G:)uncil that it had ibeen his intention to come out
and discuss the possibility of financing 1st Time Home Owner's Money for
single-family residential housing for 1990, but that some issues had arisen
which could have made the fLnancLng impossible for this year.
As part of the backgro.,nd information regarding this :natter, Brad
informed the Coimcil that ,Duran and Moody had planned orn, putting toget;'ner a
consortium of cities to bid -on State of Minnesota Industrial Revenue Bonds
that would be turned over for low interest residential housing money later in
'he year. In order to do this this each participating City waald need to
prepare a Resolution of Intent to Participate, a housing plan and a housing
program, which would then be submitted to various state and regional agencies
for review.
Brad noted that it appeared that there was between $,110, DDO, 000 . DD to
$70,000,000.00 available for this low interest money. The Duran and Moody plan
was to have ten of their clients enter into the consortium, which each of
these cities submitting a proposal for $1D,DDD,000D each. They then figured
that if 3 or 4 of these cities were drawn in the lottery that the money could
then be divided ,amongst the entire peel.
Other information provided to the C.oimcil was that a Gp� application fee
(approximxately $200,000.00 for each application) would have to be deposit at
the time the application was made to the State. Juran and Moody had agreed to
;make the deposit of 1.6 million as a loan to participatLng cities until the
bond proceeds were made available.
it was at this time Brad {plain ed. that after additional consideration it
was decided that, the timing was not feasible to get, ail the necessary
documentation prepared and reviewed in a timely enough period so that
applications could be suY-mitted. The major points of concern centered around
the fact the these submittals reed to be presented to the Department of
Finance, the Minnesota Housing and Redevelopment Authority and the Met Council
for review and at any time, one of these organizations could reach into the
process and delay any or all of the applications from completing the process.
Brad noted that if this action was to occur that the participating cities
would not be able to recover all of the application deposit and for this
reason Juran and Moody felt that there was too much risk involve at this time.
Brad note-r that he decided to still make an appe-arance before the Council
in order tx-) mare them aware of the possibility this type of program may be
FADE 5
available for 1991 if the federal government does not sunset the the law on
Industrial Revenue Bonds. Brad noted that this possibility has been in the
makL-g for several years but that lobbyist groups for the construction
industry has work to keep the federal funding available and it appears- that
they will be working to keep the financing alive for 1991 funding.
If the federal funding is still around in 1991, it is Juran and Moody"s
recommendation that the cities prepare the necessary documentation so that
they can participate in the program next year.
Brad noted that the City would need to direct that a Housing Plan .and a
Housing Prr_gram be prepared in much the same manner that the Tax Increment
FL-�iarcing Plans were prepared. It was estimated that the cost of such plans
would ran the City approximately $4 , 0W . 07 to $8 , 2M.00.
At this time Brad answered some questions raised by the members of the
Council which included:
1. What would the interest rate be on such money if it was available?
Brad noted that the schedules that Jur:an and Moody were running
indicated that the rates would be between 8.25 and 8.50% and would be
considered fixed rates for a period of 30 years.
v. What were the financial limits set for being eligible for this First
Time Home Owner Money?
It was noted that unlike FHmA housing, the guidelines for 1st time
Home Owner Money is as follows:
Existing Housing
Mew Construction
$sW0,000.00 to 95, c�.VX
$115 , 2'K?�0 . 00
3. How long does each of the cities have to use the money?
The program requires that the money is used within three years of the
time of the award. Brad noted that because of the consortium approach.
to financing this money would mean that if one city had not been able
to use up their allotment that it could be transferred to another
city within the group who may have already used their allotment,
thereby providing very little risk to any of the cities involved.
4. How does the city making the application get money back?
The money involved comes back to the cities in two fashions, the
first being from the Housing Finance P.gency and secondly from the
bond proceeds.
5. H-s this type of financing be been in the past and if so how"
The Counties of Dakota and Washir4ggton Counties have undertaken thi:
PAGE 6
type of financing before. They have tapped the developers in their
counties for the up front money prior to making the deposit and
application to the State.
6. Who loans the money out locally?
In this situation there is a master lender which is involved with
the local banking institutions who process the loans. It was noted
that if the City was to participate in such a financing that the
local bank would need to be approach to see if they would be
interested in being involved with the project.
7. Is there a risk of default on this money?
No, the money is backed by "GINNE MAE" dollars, which is federally
backed money.
8. Could the City draw interest on this money? No.
9. Could the City charge a servicing fee for making this money
available?
Not likely, because of the federal laws governing the money.
10. It was questioned when the money would be made available?
Brad noted that the money would come be available at the time of the
closing of the bonds.
11. Would there need to be a deposit note prepared?
Briggs and Morgan said NO, also noting that there would not need to
be a vote of the people for this financing.
Brad noted that this type of financing is the most complicated financing
behind the advance refunding that the City has undertaken but that the firm
felt comfortable in undertaking it if time would permit.
It was noted that, each of the cities being asked to participate in this,
type of financing have been selected strategically around the state so that
the money would be used. Noting that different regions are experienced
different types of growth act iviti.es .
There was some discussion regarding the home owner interest rates being
discussed. Brad noted that the schedules indicated about 8.5% and would
include points. These rates could be obtained by having one of the firms AAA
rate cities bond for the entire debt. It was estimated that the bond rate
would be 6.65% plus points which would take the rates to a 8.25% to 8.5%.
PAGE?
Brad pointed out that even though it was decided not to undertake a
financing of the type this year, that each of the cities should consider the
possibility of preparing the plan and program so that the consortium would be
in position for the 1991 money. Brad noted that the Council should take some
time to consider the financing tool and decide whether or not they want to be
involve. He pointed out that the plan and program would need to be prepared by
February or early March at the latest and would take some time to prepare.
The issue of Tax Increment, Financing was briefly discussed. Brad noted
that the new law just about gutted the use of the financing tool for this year
and that we can expect that the entire ability to use it in the future will be
killed in 1991. It was noted that it is the feeling of those involved with the
I
obbying for the use of T.I.F. that the legislature did not understand the
full impact of the of the regulations adopted.
There was no other business for Brad, so he thanked the Council for their
time and then left.
The next items on the agenda were from Engineering.
Bob Sullentrop presented the Council with the final bill on the 1988-3A
Improvement Project, for LaTour Construction. The amount of the bill was for
$13,506.17, which included reimbursement for the bidding errors in sections
"F" and '.I" for Class 5 that had been presented to the Council at the time the
contract had been submitted for approval. It was noted that this error would
be considered by the Council at the end of the contract and if money was
available LaTour would be paid. It should be noted that the error had no
impact on who the lowest bidder was.
There was some discussion regarding different parts of the pay requesz,
which Bob explained to the Council. It should also be noted that at the time -
of the submittal of the pay west the final wear courses on the street
patches had not been applied so it was the recommendation of Meyer-Rohlin that
the Council should approve the request but not send the check until a 'Letter
of release was sent from the engineering firm.
A motion was made to approve the pay request for the final payment of
1988-3A in the amount of $13,506.17, which includes the extra expense for the
Class 5 under Bids"H" and "J", pending the approval of Meyer-Rohlin. The
motion was made by Uonatus Vetsch and seconded by Bob Braun. All were in favor
and the motion carried.
The next issue discussed was the point repair on 55th Street. A letter
had been submitted by Meyer-Rohlin regarding the matter for the C,ouncil`s
review.
There was a great deal of discussion regarding whether or not the problem
that was to have been corrected in 1989 was in the same place or in a new
section of curb. Bob Sullentrop thought the problem had arisen in a new
FAG 8
section of curb, while Don Cornelius and Ken Lindsay felt that it was in the
same location as were it had been repair last year.
After some additional discussion it was agreed that Ken and Bob should go
back out and check the problem area again before the Council took any action
on the matter. This issue was tabled until later in the meeting.
Sgt. Bill Correll had stopped by to see if there were any questions of
the Wright County Sheriff's Office. No comments or questions were raised.
The next business on the agenda was Legal.
Bob informed the Council that he had been in touch with the State
Building: Official as well as 2 other building inspectors to see what they
would do in a instance such as the one that has occurred in Albertville. No
one had a clear cut answer to our problem.
Bob noted, that the Council had the option to pay Loren Kohnen for all the
outstanding permits except for the "problem ones". It was decided that, since
it had taken Loren so long to bill for the permits that the City could wait to
pay him when all the problems had been resolved.
The Council next, reviewed two ordinances and a resolution regarding
housing maintenance, rental licenses and the processing of demolition orders.
OrNinance 1990-4; AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING RENTAL HOUSING DWELLING
LICENSES AND REGULATIONS AND PROVIDING A PENALTY FOR VIOLATION THEREOF was
discussed first.
Bob explained the intent of this ordinance was to provide for the ability
of the City to preform annual inspections of rental property to assure that
the units were up to code. He noted that in checking on this ordinance that,
the fees established for this inspection varies, but was recommending that the
City follow the Brooklyn Park guidelines because they had just recently
updated their ordinance and fee schedule, noting that their fees were an
average of what other cities are charging.
It was pointed out that if the City of Albertville would use this
schedule the following fees would apply:
Single family and Uzplex Rentals
Tri-plexes and Larger Units
PAGE 9
$25.00 for each units
$25.00 for units 1 and 2, plus
$5.00 for each unit in the
building. (i.e. a Tri-plex
would be charged $65.00
for the inspection --
$50.00 for units 1 and 2
and $15.00 for the three
units rented)
It was noted that the purpose of an ordinance such as this one is to
provide enough inspections so that properties will not deteriorate to the
point that they have to be condemned and demolished.
'There was some discuss Lon regarding when this inspection should go into
effect. It was noted that if Kevin is going going to do the inspection that
the best time of the year to do them is during the winter month when there is
not as much inspection work going on. It was suggested that the Council adopt
the ordinance at this time, notify the land lords of the new ordinance and not
enforce the license fee or inspection until February 1, 1991.
Heari-ng no other questions or comments a motion was made by Jim
Krystosek and seconded by Don Cornelius to approve Ordinance 1990-4; entitled
AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING RENTAL HOUSING DWELLING LICENSES AND REGULATIONS AND
PROVIDING A PENALTY FOR VIOLATION THEREOF and set the fee for the inspection
at $25.00 for units 1 and 2 plus $5.00 for each unit in units larger than 2.
All were in favor and the motion carried.
The Council next reviewed Ordinance 1990-3; entitled AN ORDINANCE
ESTABLISHING HOUSING MAINTENANCE REGULATIONS AND PROVIDING A PENALTY FOR
VIOLATION THEREOF. The purpose of this ordinance establishes the guidelines
for the purpose of inspecting rental property.
After some discussion a motion was made by Bob Braun and seconded by Don
Cornelius to approve Ordinance 1990-3, entitled AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING
HOUSING MAINTENANCE REGULATIONS AND PROVIDING A PENALTY FOR VIOLATION THEREOF.
All were in favor and the motion carried
The Council reviewed and approved Resolution 1990--2. A motion was made by
Don Cornelius and seconded by Jim Krystosek to approve Resolution 1990-2;
entitled AN RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A POLICY RELATING TO THE PROCESSING OF
DEMOLITION ORDERS BY THE CITY. A11 were in favor and the motion carried.
Bob next reviewed with the Council the contract for recycling with Wright
Recycling. There were some question regarding the pick up dates, liability and
the amount being charged for recycling. It was noted that &-)b had made contact
with Ken Kunkel and had clarified these issues and the contract was in order
to be approved.
A motion was made to approve the contract with Wright Recycling and set,
the residential rates at $.25 about the emit charge charged by Wright
Recycling and to authorize the Mayor and the City Clerk to enter into the
contract with the same. The motion was made by Don Cornelius and seconded by
Bob Braun. All were in favor and the motion carried.
Bob Sullentrop and Ken Lindsay came back to the (council with the
information regarding the point repair on 55th Street. The CA:>uncil was
informed that it did not appear that the problem under discussion had any
relationship with the repaired last year.
PAGE 10
Being informed of this information a motion was made to have point repair
made by Independent Curb Contractors, Inc, provided that it did not exceed
$300.00. The motion was made by Donatus Vetsch and seconded by Jim Krystosek.
All were in favor and the motion carried.
Bob Miller next informed the Council that there had been some problems
with an old deed for Barthel Industrial Drive. It appeared that no deed had
ever been recorded for the 60 foot easement which ran on the Beaudry property.
Bob had drawn the necessary documents and had the gotten signatures from the
effected property owners. It was noted that the Council needed to accept, the
deed and have Mai zreen record.
A motion was made to accept the deed and have Maureen record the del for
Barthel Industrial Drive. The motion was made by Bob Braun and seconded by Jim
Krystosek. All were in favor and the motion carried.
A motion was made to approve the Income Received and Bills to be Paid.
The motion was made by Bob Braun and seconded by Jim Krystosek. All were in
favor and the motion carried.
A limited 3.2 Beer License was approved for the Albertville Jaycees for a
softball tournament to be held on June 1, 2 and 3, 1990 pending payment. The
motion was made by Ion Cornelius and seconded by Bob Braun. All were in favor
and the motion carried.
The bids for the stucco work were reviewed. The City had received two
bids for the work:
FETE ROHMF $3,066.00 plus $4.00 a lineal
foot for Boards or
Arches
BILL ZIMMFRMAN.S STUCCO $2,22"0.00
A motion was made by Jim Krystosek and seconded by Bob Braun to accept
the bid from Bill Zimmerman`s Stucco for the work on City Hall. All were in
favor and the motion carried.
Mary Vetsch was at the meeting to discuss his concern regarding the
maintenance of the City Park and the problems that had arisen with the liquor
license. The points were well taken and the issues were to be looked into.
The June 4th Council meeting was changed from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 so that
people could attend the Queen Candidate Dinner. A motion was made by Donatus
Vetsch and seconded by Bob Braun to change the meeting time. All were in favor
and the motion carried.
A motion was made to adjourn the meeting. The motion was made by Don
Cornelius and seconded by Bob Braun. All were in favor and the motion carried.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Background:
Maureen Andrews
Robert Kirmis/David Licht
23 May 1990
Albertville - Parks Edge Rezoning -
Preliminary Plat
163.06 - 90.05
Barthel Construction Company has submitted a request to rezone
and subdivide a parcel of land located directly west of the
intersection of Barthel Drive and 52nd Street. The applicants
request follow their intention to develop 3.0 acre parcel of land
into nine single family lots of varied size. The applicants are
seeking to rezone the subject property from "R-81', Mixed Housing
District to PUD, Planned Unit Development District.
Attached for reference:
Exhibit A - Site Location
Exhibit B - Detailed Site Location
Exhibit C - Preliminary Plat
Exhibit D - Grading and Drainage Plan
Exhibit E - Water and Sanitary Sewer Plan
Exhibit F - Street Grade Details
Exhibit G - Building/Garage Design Lots 7-9
Recommendation:
Because the proposed single family residential use lies in
contrast to the proposed high density residential development
suggested within the Comprehensive Plan, it is our view that a
decision regarding the appropriateness of single family
development is a matter of City policy and a final determination
4601 Excelsior Blvd. • Suite 410 • Minneapolis, MN 55416 • (612) 925-9420 • Fax 925-2721
of use acceptability should rest upon City Officials. If the
City finds the proposed single family use acceptable, our office
recommends approval of both the requested PUD zoning designation
and preliminary plat subject to the following conditions:
1. A Comprehensive Plan amendment is approved which allows the
subject plat to be consistent with the City's land use plan.
2. Front yard setbacks imposed upon Lots 7-9 of the subject
plat are increased from 20 to 25 feet to provide greater
visual and functional consistency within the subdivision.
3. Single family homes to be constructed within the subdivision
are configured in a manner in which attached garages are
setback to the furthest extent possible. Such a
configuration is intended to lessen the visual impact of
minimal front yard setbacks and visually open the
neighborhood plus provide more off-street parking. Building
design and garage positioning on Lots 7, 8 and 9 shall
therefore be subject to approval of the City Building
Official.
4. The proposed 40 foot street right-of-way is found to be
acceptable by the City Engineer.
5. The submitted grading and drainage plan is modified to
identify specific erosion control measures. The plan shall
be subject to the review and comment of the City Engineer.
6. The utility plan is subject to review and comment by the
City Engineer.
7. Both berming and coniferous tree plantings are provided
along the subdivision's eastern border within the Barthel
Drive right-of-way. Such a barrier will visually and
audibly screen negative impacts associated with the adjacent
industrial park. The said landscaping is to be maintained
by adjacent property owners.
8. The subject plat meets the City's park land dedication
requirements and is subject to review by the City Park
Board.
9. Other comments as may be made by the City Administrator City
Building Official, City Engineer and City Attorney.
CASE ANALYSIS
Rezoning:
Land Use. As mentioned previously, the applicants propose to
subdivide a 3.0 acre parcel of land into a nine lot single family
subdivision.
As a means of determining the appropriateness of the proposed
single family use, it is beneficial to examine surrounding land
uss. The following is a listing of neighboring land uses and
their associated zoning designations.
Land Use
Zoning
North
Single Family
R-3
South
Public Park
R-3
East
Industrial
I-1
West
Single Family
R-3
Recognizing the fact that the subject plat provides a transition
in lot sizes, the proposed single family development does appear
generally compatible to neighboring uses.
While the proposed single family use does appear acceptable, some
concern exists in regard to the site's suggested use as depicted
in the City's Comprehensive Plan. According to the Comprehensive
Plan, the subject site has been designated for future high
density residential development (10 or more units per acre).
The high density designation upheld within the Comprehensive"Plan
recognizes the need to provide a transition of uses between the
industrial park and western lying single family development. In
addition, the high density designation acknowledges the odd
configuration of the site and the difficulty of providing a
single family type subdivision within its borders.
Because the submitted preliminary plat does provide a gradation
in land use via varied lot sizes and provides a functionally
efficient division of property which minimizes the adverse
effects of the adjacent industrial park, our office finds the
proposed single family land use to be acceptable.
Because the proposed single family land use lies in contrast to
the proposed high density residential development cited within
the Comprehensive Plan, however, it is our view that a decision
regarding the appropriateness of single family development is a
matter of City policy. As such, City Officials should determine
the acceptability of the proposed single family land use.
3
If the use is found to be acceptable, a Comprehensive Plan
amendment will be required to allow the subject plat to be
consistent with the City's Land Use Plan.
PUD, Planned Unit Development. Due to the odd configuration of
the site, the applicant has requested a PUD zoning designation to
allow a number of lots to lie smaller than typical R-8
requirements. It should be noted that the R-8 standards are
identical to the R-3 standards imposed upon neighboring
residential properties. A PUD zoning designation will allow
smaller lots to flank the industrial. park and larger lots to abut
similar sized single family lots which lie to the west.
Due to the site's odd configuration, strict conformance of the
site's existing R-8 requirements would impair the reasonable
development of the property. If the City finds the proposed
single family uses to be acceptable, our office feels that a PUD
zoning designation is appropriate. It should be emphasized that
the City does maintain ultimate control in establishing the
performance standards within a PUD District.
Preliminary Plat:
Lots. As shown on the preliminary plat, lot sizes range from
9,600 to 19,161 square feet in size with an average lot measuring
12,119 square feet in size. While the subdivision's average lot
size is less than 12,500 square feet typically required within R-
8 districts, the proposed lot areas are considered acceptable via
the provisions of the PUD.
Setbacks. In accordance with ordinance standards, all proposed
periphery setbacks meet the minimum R-8 requirement of 25 feet
for rear yards.
Under the provisions of the PUD, the site would be provided some
flexibility in its interior yard setbacks. According to the
preliminary plat, the following front yard setbacks have been
proposed:
Proposed Front Typical R-8 Front
Yard Setback Yard Setback
Lots 1, 2 30 feet 35 feet
Lot 3 25 feet 35 feet
Lots 4-6 30 feet 35 feet
Lots 7-9 20 feet 20 feet
4
While the proposed setbacks respond to innate site restrictions,
some concern exists in regard to the 20 foot front yard setbacks
imposed upon Lots 7, 8 and 9 of the subdivision. As a means of
minimizing visible setback inconsistencies, consideration should
be given to increasing the front yard setback upon Lots 7-9 to 25
feet.
To further improve subdivision aesthetics and improve lot
functioning, notably parking, it is suggested that contained
single family homes be situated in a manner in which attached
garages are setback as far as possible. Such a configuration
will visually open the neighborhood, lessen the impact of minimal
front yard setbacks, and provide adequate off-street parking
space. Exhibit "G" provides an indication of the building design
which is being suggested.
Streets. As shown on the preliminary plat, the subdivision is to
be accessed via a single cul-de-sac from Barthel Drive (Lansing
Circle). The proposed street configuration is considered
positive in that it reinforces an inward neighborhood focus and
subsequently minimizes the negative impacts (i.e., noise, views,
pedestrian safety) produced by stop -and -go semi -truck trailer
traffic.
It should be noted that, due to the narrowness of the site, the
subdivision illustrates a 40 foot wide right-of-way upon its
entrance road. While the 40 foot width does not conform to
typical 60 foot R.O.W. widths as required by Ordinance, our
office views the width is generally acceptable provided its
contained street is of a width which may sufficiently
accommodate vehicular maneuvering. According to the submitted
street grade details, a 37 foot wide street is to be constructed
within the 40 foot R.O.W. The acceptability of the street width
should be subject to comment by the City Engineer. It should
also be noted a 60 foot cul-de-sac radius has been provided
within the plat, thus ensuring appropriate maneuvering space for
emergency vehicles.
Grading and Drainage. The applicant has submitted a preliminary
grading and drainage plan. According to the plan, a significant
amount of earthwork is to occur to the west of Lots 2, 3, and 4.
To guard against any adverse impacts upon adjacent westerly
properties, the grading plan should be modified to identify
specific measures of erosion control. The plan will also be
subject to further review and comment by the City Engineer.
Utilities. A preliminary water and sanitary sewer plan has been
submitted and will be subject to the review and comment of the
City'Engineer.
5
Landscaping. With the subject property lying adjacent to an
industrial park, it is imperative that design related measures
are taken to lessen potential negative impacts. As a means of
screening generally undesirable views of the industrial park and
the adjacent high volume roadway (Barthel Drive), as well as
buffering associated noise, it is recommended that both berming
and coniferous tree plantings be placed along the subdivision's
eastern border within the Barthel Drive right-of-way.
By placing screening materials upon the Barthel Drive Boulevard,
adjacent lots are allowed to fully utilize their already shallow
rear yards. As a condition of subdivision approval, however,
adjacent property owners will be required to maintain all
proposed landscaping.
Parks. The subject subdivision does not include any park land
dedication. According to Section A-600.15 of the City
Subdivision Ordinance, a cash contribution may be provided in
lieu of land dedication. Per the Ordinance, a cash contribution
of $170.00 per dwelling unit shall be required. Utilizing this
formula, a total cash contribution of $1,530.00 would be required
of the subject plat. This issue shall be subject to further
review by the City Park Board.
CONCLUSION
Because the proposed single family use does not reflect proposed
land use as cited within the City's Comprehensive Plan, our
office feels that a decision of appropriate use is a policy
matter to be determined by City Officials.
If the City finds single family development to be an acceptable
use upon the subject site, our office would recommend approval of
the requested rezoning from R-8, Mixed Housing District to PUD,
Planned Unit Development as well as the submitted preliminary
plat. These approvals, however, shall be contingent upon the
fulfillment of those conditions listed within the Executive
Summary of this report.

Re: Information Needed for December 31, 1989 Audit
Our auditors, Gruys, Johnson and Associates, Ltd., are auditing our financial
statements as of December 31, 1989. In connection with the audit, the
provisions of the Legal Compliance Audit Guide promulgated by the Legal
Compliance Task Force pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Sec. 6.65 require that
our auditors test for the City's compliance with certain laws and regulations.
One of the categories of compliance to be tested is conflicts of interest.
Minnesota statutes forbid any public officer authorized to take part in the
making of a sale, lease or contract, to voluntarily have a personal financial
interest in the transaction or personally benefit financially from it. The
statutes specifically forbid city council members from having any interest in
any contract made by their respective governing bodies.
In order for our auditors to test compliance by City of Albertville,
Albertville, Minnesota with the laws and regulations relating to conflicts of
interest we ask that you provide them with the information requested on the
attached form. After completing the form, please sign, date and return the
form to the City Administrator.
This information will be used only to test compliance with the conflicts of
interest laws and regulations. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

RE: Albertville - Zoning Ordinances - Adult Entertainment
FILE NO: 163.05
Dear Maureen:
As you have possibly heard through the Metro news media, the City
of Ramsey has recently experienced the unanticipated opening of
an adult bookstore within a neighborhood retail area. Being
treated as an automatically allowable retail use, this adult
facility was unrestricted to locate within 100 feet of a day care
operation, 300 feet of a church, and 400 feet of a single family
residential neighborhood. Not surprisingly, this situation has
created controversy in the City and some concern as to why such
activities have gone unregulated.
Certainly to be recognized are the constitutionally protected
free speech rights of adult entertainment. Simultaneously, the
right to regulate the secondary effects of adult facilities has
been determined acceptable. Separation of adult facilities by
distance from one another as well as from uses possibly
negatively affected can be legitimately accomplished through
zoning. To be effective, however, this must occur prior to the
location of adult facilities as contrasted to the Ramsey case
where the business located, and now the City is looking to act.
As a result, little can be done about the existing new operation
in Ramsey.
4601 Excelsior Blvd. • Suite 410 - Minneapolis, MN 55416.(612) 925-9420 • Fax 925-2721

Page Two
As one of our client communities, our office is fully aware of
Albertville's current zoning regulations and generally, the City
Code. To the best of our knowledge, these regulations are
presently lacking in possible protection which could be enacted
to address adult facilities. We alert you to this situation as
we believe consideration should be given to possibly pursuing
some type of protective regulations. As illustrated by the
current Ramsey case, preventative action is much preferable and
less costly than an after the fact, reactive approach.
Our office's current association with the City of Ramsey,
providing assistance on regulations to govern adult entertainment
facilities, has provided substantial background on this subject.
While each community must specifically and individually address
this issue, there are most certainly common elements which are
involved and guide such regulations. These factors minimize the
work which is involved in establishing appropriate and sound
protection.
So as to protect the community from unanticipated, unwelcome
situations, we would suggest that this matter be presented to the
City Council for a determination as to whether appropriate
regulations should be pursued. In this regard, we are available
to provide further background or respond to questions.
Very truly yours,
