CC?IJNCIL MINUTES
SEFrEMBER 17, 1990
The regular meeting of the Albertville City Council was called to order
by Acting Mayor Donatus Vetsch. Members present included Bob Braun, and Jim
Krystosek with Mayor Gary Schwenzfeier and Don Cornelius absent. Others
Present were Thore Meyer, Maureen Andrews, Ken Lindsay, and Jackie Peterson.
'Ilse agenda for the evening's meeting was reviewed by the Council. A
motion was made by Bob Braun and seconded by Bob Braun to approve the
evening's agenda. All were in favor and the motion carried.
The minutes of the September 4th Council Meeting were reviewed by the
Council. Jim Krystosek made a motion to approve the minutes. Bob Braun
seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried.
The first item on the agenda was hearing from the Maintenance Department.
Ken Lindsay gave an update on the Four Season's Park. Ken informed the Council
that the tennis court have been completed and are being used.
There was continued discussion regarding the problem regarding the.
washing of sand from the playground area into the grass area. Ken explained
that because of the situation something would need to be done soon to correct
the problem.
Jim Krystosek said he had gone out with Ken and looked at the situation.
He suggested that we install timbers, one timber to be installed at ground
level and then one on top of the buried one. Ken and Jim both thought that the
timbers should nun the complete length of the backside of the playground
areas. He then suggested that we be sure to peg the timbers down. Then we
would then bring in clay backfill, and fill up to top of the outside of the
timbers with clay and to the top of the inside with sand. That way we would
eliminate arty hazardous drop offs. He thought that maybe we could present this
to the Lions or the Jaycees as a project for them to do.
With reference to this discussion, it was pointed c-it that typically when
timbers are installed around playground areas that one timber usually extends
above the ground level to further define the playground area. Several
examples were cited where this type of construction has be completed.
There was some discussion as to how much the materials would cost for
this project. Ken thought that the materials would ran approximately $250.00
for the timbers. We would not have to purchase any clay since_ we have all the
clay we need at the site.
,Jim pointed out that all this should be done before any seeding is done
in the park, so that, everything could be done at one time.
Ken informed the Council that 900 yards of sod have been installed so
far. There is still a need for another 1,aVJ yards of sod to finish up sodding
of the areas where there are still Washing problems. Ken also noted that
there was still a need for sod along the entrances into the Park between the
existing houses, restoration in the area where the water line was installed
and between the parking lot and tennis court.
There was some discussion on the cost of the additional sod. The cost
would be $1,560.00 for another two truck loads of sod at seven hundred and
fifty yards each. Maureen said that there is $1,575.00 park dedication from
the nine lots of the Barthel's Parks Edge project. She said that there is
also money for Westwind the we could use grid then reimburse back to Westwind.
It was brought up that the Park Board would be meeting on Thursday, and
they should have the opportunity to discuss these issues first prior to the
sod being purchase. It was noted that the Council could approve the purchase
of the the sod, pending the approval of the Park Board.
,Jim Krystosek made a motion to purchase two more load of sod at $.65 per
yard pending the approval of the Park Board. Bob Braun seconded the motion and
the motion carried.
Ken then brought, up the issue of planting trees in the park system. He
said that Midwest Landscaping could soon ;eve trees available and that we had
better plan on a place to put them until we can plant them. It was discussed
that the trees could be put in Darkenwald's out at Westwind.
In a related matter to the Westwind Park, the issue of Darkenwald's
responsibility of burying the debris from the controlled burn was discussed.
It was noted that the Albertville Fire Department had entered into an
agreement with Darkenwald's for the burning of the buildings and as part of
that agreement Darkenwald's agreed to burying nibble on their property.
Maureen said that she knew that Paul had been talking with them about it, and
that she would ask Paul about it at the Thursday Park Board meeting. With no
further discussion the issue was then tabled.
Ken reminded the Council of the October 1st, closing date for the City's
parks. He was concerned that the parks would be accidentally rented out for a
later dated than that.
Ken said that people continue to dump grass cliWings,leaves and garbage
at the sanitary pond site and vacant lots, He said it is really beginning to
be a problem that we need to address.
PAGE 2
Ken informed the Council that the ditch by the freeway is not draining
anymore. He said Frankfort township plugged the line.
Maureen said that she had talked to Alfred Zachman, and he said that they
wanted to close the ditch temporarily until one of the farmers could get his
corn out of the field.
She also said that Pete Raatikaa would present the findings of the
feasibility report within the next week or so.
It was pointed out that Frankfort dDes not have the sole right to close
the ditch without permission of Albertville and MN/DOT. The feeling is since
all three shared in the cost of having it opened, all three should have a say
in whether it should be closed.
Thore Meyer then explained the three different solution possibilities
discussed between himself and Pete Raatikaa, Frankfort Township's Engineer.
They feel that the cheapest route would be repairing and replacing the exiting
tile. The next would be to route the water back to Albertville's storm system.
The third most expensive but probably best solution would be to carry the
water approximately and eight to nine mile stretch down the freeway.
Thore said that the Otsego farmers have been involved and would like to
see the ditches clean out and feel that it should be done properly from the
start. It was Thore's feeling that since it is such a long stretch, mere
would be more people to share in the cost of the project.
Ken then informed the Council that the PCA would not issue a permit to
add the sanitary sewer extension to Barthel `s Parks Edge because the fact that
the City has having problems meeting limits this Spring. He noted that the
phosphorous levels were outside of limits as well as the Total Suspended
Solids. It was noted that the PCA was not comfortable issuing it until the
problem has been reviewed and find a possible solution to the problem. He
said that, the PCA will be sending a letter requesting the City's formal plan
of act ion .
Ken said that Mary Hayes of the PCA would not grant the permit until
after they had received the City's response to the problem and had talked to
Gene Erickson regarding what he felt was the problem at the pond.
In a related matter, Ken noted that the ponds are holding one hundred
thousand gallons, likely due to the fact that sump Pumps are discharging into
the sewer system. Ken felt that it would be at least three weeks before the
City would be allowed to discharge the ponds.
After some discussion., it was decided that Thore, Maureen, and Ken would
meet together later in the week to discuss the problem, and the solutions.
The Council then reviewed an application for a Winter Road Maintenance
Workshop for Ken and Mike to attend. The cost of the seminar would rare $30.00
PAGE 3
each. The seminar would be on October 2nd, in Hutchinson. Ken said he had
talked to other maintenance crews that, have attended these workshops, and they
all said that they were good and informative classes to attend.
After some discussion Bob Braun made a motion to send both Ken and Mike
to the Winter Road Maintenance Workshop if mere is no urgent business to
attend to at that time, Jim Krystosek seconded the motion. All were in favor
and the motion carried.
Hearing no further comments from the Maintenance Department the Council
then hear from the City Engineer, Thorn Meyer.
Thore reviewed the quotes receive regarding the soil corrections project
for the new Maintenance building. The total area involved is 60' X 70'.
The quotes were based on the following estimated quantities as submitted:
1) Excavation to stable clay base, cross-section measurement of
750 cubic yards.
2) Approved fill for compacted engineered fill to provide minima m
3,000 psf bearing Pressure. Testing to be done by others.
.
Payment shall be by cubic yard (loose volume) with the amount
being 1,200 cubic yards.
3) Dozer time for clearing brush and leveling site on balance of
area, as directed by Engineer for ten hours.
Thore informed the Council that Dennis Fehn bid it out a $7,320.00, and
Bonin Excavating bid in at $9,772,50.
Thore felt that if in the future the City decides to add an additional
forty feet to the building, it would be wise to have an additional 4,400 feet
done along with the soil corrections project,
Maureen then informed the Council that she had met with David Licht and
Joel Eull of Eull Concrete Products, regarding the disposal of waste product,
at the plant, and the storage of other products on the site. She said that
Joel would be willing to give the City the used concrete to use as fill in the
soil corrections project if we wish.
Thorn explained that Eull's will be crushing the material and it would
not cost the City any money. By using the crushed concrete as fill it would
help keep the cost of the soil corrections down,
Thorn brought up the issue of saving some of the trees. He felt it would
be nice if the City could be selective in removing trees and leaving some of
the nicer trees,
PAGE 4
The Council discussed the possibility of using the fill from Dull
Concrete to keep the costs down, then do the additional 4,400 square feet of
corrections. The Council would then ask Dennis Fehn to consider these
additional factors and break down a new quote for the Council to review.
A motion was made by Jim Krystosek to accept the bid from Dennis Fehn up
to the amount of $7 , 320. 00. The breakdown to include using the filling
material from Eull Concrete and doing the additional footage. Bob Braun
seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried.
Thore then brought up the Maintenance Building issue. Thore suggested the
bids for the building should be quoted on the main construction of the
building only. He thought, any of the electrical, heating installation,
plumbing or any kind of specific trade work, should be bid out separately.
This way the Council can keep the expenses of the work under better control.
Thore then gave an update on the revisions drawn up. He explained that
the plans show separate heating for the offices and break rooms by a small gas
furnace, that will be placed up in the mezzanine. He further explained that
the welding room has been removed and is replaced with a storage room. Then he
explained the garage door sizes. One will be ten feet, by twelve feet, and the
other two are fourteen foot doors.
There was some questions as to what kind of codes had to be met if the
welding room were to be left in. It was decided to check with Kevin Mealhouse
the City Building Inspector.
Thore then discussed the sealcoating problem, which was part of the 1989
Improvement Project. He said that Buffalo Bituminous will not be held
responsible. Be said that Greg is aware that it is unsatisfactory, and that
Allied will do nothing to correct the situation. Thore suggested that it is to
late in the year to do any sealcoating. He thought we might try fog spray and
put a lighter grey granite over the top. Be then said that he is still working
on it. With no more comments the issue was tabled.
The Council did not hear from Bob Miller the City Attorney, since he was
out of town for a few days. Maureen informed the Council that Bob had prepare
a letter to ,Joel Dull and that a copy of the letter was included in the
minutes.
Maureen then explained that Thore Meyer had received a letter from Joint
Powers regarding a new charge that has been established by the Board regarding
a fee for full-time inspection by their engineer on the water line
installation. The charge for this inspection runs $2,500 and it was Thore`s
suggestion that it be paid by the Developer directly to the Joint Powers.
It was further noted that the Developer's Agreement would be amended to
reflect this additional $2,500.00, noting that the City will require proof of
Payment of the fee.
PAGE 5
It was also noted that the other fees associated with Joint Powers are
$750.00 for the permit plan and $60.00 for the permit fees. She farther
explained that if all of the money is not used, the balance will be refunded,
and like wise if the balance goes over what was paid, the balance will be
charged back. She pointed out that the Parks Edge project is the first one
that this has applied to, She felt that, this should be a direct cost to the
Developer. There was no further discussion and the issue was tabled.
The Council then reviewed the income and bills to be paid. With no
questions asked, Jim Krystosek made a motion to pay the bills check number
10832 through 10891. Bob Braun seconded the motion. All were in favor and
the motion carried.
Maureen then brought to the Council"s attention, the delinquent sewer
bills for 1989. There was some discussion as to which ones the Council wanted
to assess to the County for taxes. It was decided that any of the persons on
the list will receive a letter, and will be able to attend a public hearing,
before any further action is taken.
The Council then set a date for a work meeting regarding the storage shed
issue, the drainage ditch, and to discuss Jean Reiser"s request for a
�. conditional use permit to hold classes for ceramics out of her home. The
meeting was set for Thursday September 27th, 1990.
The Council then discussed the Special Permit to extend the serving hours
for the 152 Club. A motion was node by Bob Braun and seconded by Jim
Krystosek, to grant the request for the permit. All were in favor and the
motion carried.
The Council discussed the idea of a fall cleanup day. There has been a
Problem with residents not haying a place to dispose of their leaves and grass
clippings. After some discussion it, was decided to take two Saturdays for a
supervised burning day. It was decided that the Fire Department will monitor
the burning. The dates for the cleanup were set for Saturday, October 20th,
and Saturday, October 27th. The Council decided to set the site for the
cleanup to be at the ponds, providing the surrounding farmers approve.
Hearing no further comment from the Council, Jim Krystosek made a motion
to adjourn the meeting, Bob Braun seconded the motion. All were in favor and
the motion carried.

COUNCIL MINUTES
SEPTEMBER 4, 1990
The regular meeting of the Albertville City Council was called to order
by Mayor Gary Schwenzfeier. Members present included Jim Krystosek, Donatus
Vetsch, Bob Braun and Don Cornelius. Others present were Maureen Andrews, Bob
Miller, Thore Meyer, Ken Lindsay, and Jackie Peterson.
The agenda for the evening's meeting was reviewed by the Council. Maureen
informed the Council that there were four additional items to be added to the
agenda. They were the lot and railroad mowing issue, Jackie Peterson's 3 month
salary review, setting a public hearing for the delinquent sewer assessments,
and the ordinance regarding the increase of meeting per diem for Council
special meetings, Planning Commission, Park Board and Joint Power meetings. A
motion was made by Don Cornelius and seconded by Jim Krystosek to approve the
agenda with the additions. All were in favor and the motion carried.
The minutes of the August 20th Council meeting were reviewed by the
Council. Donatus Vetsch pointed out that the 1st paragraph on page 3 should
say the the cost is $1,200.00 per mile, and that the road is approximately a
1/2 mile long or $600.00 per time. Further noting the total annual cost for
dust control will run $1,200.00. With no further comments a motion was made
by Jim Krystosek and seconded by Donatus Vetsch to approve the minutes, with
the changes. All were in favor and the motion carried.
The first item on the agenda was the Public Hearing on Psyk's 4th
addition Assessments. Don Cornelius made a motion to open the hearing. Bob
Braun seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried. Maureen
informed the public that a notice was posted and a letter was sent to all the
concerned residents.
Thore Meyer then gave a brief explanation of how the assessments were
derived for the street improvements. He said that the total cost of the
project would be $100,000.00 dollars, which includes construction cost,
engineering, contingencies and issuance expenses. Thore noted that the
project costs are approximately $10,000.00 less than the original estimated
projected costs.
Thore noted that there was one correction to the assessment roll. It was
pointed out that the Carron property should have been assessed a full
assessment instead of a half of one so the total assessment was reduced for
all the lots.
He then went on to show the residents with the aid of a chart, that there
were 29 single frontage lots with full assessments, 6 corners lots that will
be charged an assessment and half for the front and side yard assessment, and
4 lots that would be assessed a 1/2 of full assessment for the side yard
frontage as is established City policy.
It was noted that cost of the project was originally proposed to be
assessed $2,531.65 for a single lot, $1,465.88 for a 1/2 lot assessment and
$3,997.53 for the corner lots. With the correction to the assessment roll the
new figures are $2,500.00 for a full assessment, $1,450 for the 1/2 lot
assessments and $3,950.00 for the corner lots.
At this time the assessment roll discussion was open to the public.
Doug Psyk questioned the assessment on Lot 1, Block 5, (P.I.D. #
101-028-M5010), which is a corner lot. He said that since he has no blacktop
and no curb and that the lot at present is way to low he should not have the
full assessment. He questioned why this lot was being assessed at this time
when the black top had not been installed along the side yard of the
property. He further commented that he felt that the curb had been set at to
high of an elevation and would probably need to be removed and replaced when
the next phase of development occurs.
Thore commented that the reason the full assessment had been place on the
lot in question is that the Class 5 and curb and gutter had already been
installed along the north property line of the lot in question. He noted that
the curb was installed so that the elevation were established for house
placement and that the blacktop was not installed because of the need to
extend water and sewer for the next phase of residential development.
The issue of the elevation of curb was discussed briefly. It was pointed
out that these elevations had been established at the time of the platting and
the installation of the utilities, noting that the regulations established for
the elevation of water line placement required a minimum ground depth and that
in this area the lines are in at, the minimum depth.
Doug then commented on his concern that as additional work is done along
the side of this property that he will be further assessed for the new work.
It was noted that it is the City's policy to set the assessment after the work
has been completed, noting that once the assessment is established for the
improvement that it can not be assessed for again, Under Minnesota State
Statute, Chapter 429, it states that the City has to prove benefit to the
property at the time of the assessment and to further assess a lot the City
would have to prove additional benefit.
PAGE 2
Don Cornelius said that he understood Doug"s point. He said that there
should be a notation in the minutes that if the curb would have to be removed
and replaced along with the installation of blacktop, that it would not be
assessed at a later day. Thore also commented on the fact that old assessment
rolls are always checked to assure that a lot is not double assessed for the
same work.
He then asked Doug if he was assured by the Council that it would not
happen and if it were in the minutes, would he be satisfied with that. Doug
said that would be fine, and that he would like a copy of the minutes.
The next issue discussed was the work done on the'driveway at 11400
54 1/2 Street. Brian Carlson, who was representing his father, Ray Carlson,
informed the Council that his father was not able to be at the meeting but
wanted the Council to be aware of the fact that they were not satisfied with
the job done by Buffalo Bituminous. The problem seems to be that the blacktop
was not installed properly, noting that they felt that the blacktop was rolled
cold, that there was settlement along the edge and that is does not drain
properly.
He explained that the driveway is porous in spots and it sags in others.
He said the driveway was laid with 1 1/2 inch rock and no fine. He said that
when the driveway was poured, the contractor waited around for almost an hour
before they rolled it noting that the base was wet underneath the blacktop and
therefore there was problems with the job. He pointed out that because of the
time of the year, the temperature was cooler the quality of the job may not
have been as good as it could have been if the project was done earlier.
Thore informed the Council that he had been out to look at the site and
would check with Buffalo Bituminous to see what can be done to correct the
problem.. He also said that with the problems described, it would not work to
simply sealcoat the driveway. It would then have to be redone.
The next item discussed was the replacement materials used on Mark
Bauer's driveway at 11422 54 1/2 Street. Mark pointed out that when his
restoration was done to his lot, it was done poorly an with the wrong
materials. He said that, he had red rock and that it should have been replaced
with red rock, instead it was replaced with Class 5. He said that it seemed
that, the curb and gutter was put in all right.
He questioned the work done on the seeding and restoration of the
boulevard. He noted that in general it was not a very nice job and wondered
if this is standard policy. Thore then explained that under policy the
restoration of the boulevards are now left up to the developer under the
requirements of the Developer's Agreement.
The residents present were also informed that
with the seeding job and that the contractor
materials used, because of the waste that occurred.
the City had not been happy
was not paid for all the
page 3
With no further questions or comment from the residents, Don Cornelius
made a motion to close the public hearing. Jim Krystosek seconded the motion.
All were in favor and the motion carried.
A motion was made by Donatus Vetsch to accept the street assessment roll
with the corrections and approve the Resolution adopting the assessments. Bob
Braun seconded the motion and the motion carried.
The next item on the agenda was the Maintenance Department. Ken Lindsay
informed the Council that the completion of the Four Season's Park is coming
along nicely. He said the tennis court has been completed.
Ken said that he continues to have problems with washouts. He said that
we really need to get the sod installed soon. He said he had contacted a
couple sod companies. He said that Maple Lake Sod had the best price for
seconds at $.65 per yard. He explained that seconds are patchy and have some
weeds in it, but for our purposes, it would work just fine.
The Council asked Ken how much sod he thought the Park would need. Ken
said he really did not know how much it would take. There was some discussion
as to where the sod needs to be placed. The sod needs to be put on each side
of the walkways and up the hill.
Don Cornelius made a motion to purchase 800 yards at $.65 per yard. Then
lay it out to see where we are at. Donatus Vetsch seconded the motion. All
were in favor and the motion carried.
Ken then explained to the Council the we need to get some black dirt for
seeding the rest of the park.
Also, he feels that there should be a retaining wall put up behind the
playgrounds because the gravel keeps washing down into the grass. He felt
that it should be 18" high.
The Council did not understand what Ken was trying to say so it was
decided that the Council would go out and take a look at the problem and
decide what actions to take to correct the problem.
Maureen then talked about the weed mowing issue. She pointed out to the
Council the map showing the problem areas that need to be mowed. She suggested
to the Council that we take bids for the job as a complete job, and not on a
per hour basis. She explained that there were 36 lots, the railroad property,
and road ditches to be mowed. The cost of having this mowed would be assessed
to the property owners.
A motion was made by Don Cornelius and seconded by Jim Krystosek to get
the bids in by Tuesday and accept the lowest bid. All were in favor and the
motion carried.
PAGE 4
The Council then discussed the new building issue. The next step would be
to get bids on the soil corrections needed before construction. Maureen
pointed out that keeping the soil corrections separate from the overall
construction of the building, will help the City to keep better control over
what is being done during construction. It was decided to have a work meeting
after the bids have been received, to decide who will get the bid.
Ken had questioned how long is this going to take. It was assured that
the building will be done some time this fall.
Thore Meyer then gave the Council an update on the drainage problem in
Frankfort Township. He said that he had sent Frankfor- Township a letter with
an estimated cost of for a line to go south to accommodate the drainage from
Albertville. He said that we have not gotten a response from them yet on this.
Thore also explained that Pete Raatikaa is working on the estimated costs
for a line to nun along the freeway, and also the cost to have the existing
drainage route corrected.
Maureen informed the Council that Albertville has received the bill for
the emergency drainage correction done earlier. Albertville's share for
payment was $661.67. The Council felt that this was a fair price.
The Council then discussed 50th Street, and what has been done. Thore
said that he thought that maybe the City should take a look at what could be
called the first phase of construction. The cost of this would be assessed for
a residential street.
He suggests some thought in cutting down some of the hills and widening
the street to 44 feet. Then run a matt down the middle. That could be
considered the first lift. Then at a later date when needed we could at that
time put in curbs 3 inches higher than the matt, and add another lift of
pavement. He felt that 50th street probably would never have to have sewer put
in.
The Council decided to hold a work meeting to discuss the issue. With no
further comment the issue was tabled.
The Council then heard from Bob Miller, the City Attorney, regarding the
building permit issue. He said that he had talked to Mrs. Kohnen and is still
working with them to resolve the issue.
Bob went on the tell the Council that Eull Concrete should receive a
letter from David Licht which suggested to seize any further filling until
they apply for and receive a permit from the City.
A motion was made by Jim Krystosek and seconded by Donatus Vetsch to have
a letter sent to Eull Concrete telling them they must seize filling until they
apply for and receive a permit. All were in favor and the motion carried.
Bob then addressed the G & K building issue. He said that David had found
some zoning violations. The City needs to advise them of the violations.
page 5
A motion was made by Bob Braun and seconded by Donatus Vetsch to send a
letter to G & K informing them of the violations and that a representative
should contact the City.
Maureen then informed the Council about the 1190-7 ordinance. As of 1991
Annual Budget, the pay rate for City Council members would remain the same but
that meeting per diems would be changed to $25.00 for Joint Powers meetings,
$20.00 for Special meetings, and $15.00 for Park Board and Planning Commission
meetings.
Donatus Vetsch made a motion to adopt the ordinance as is. Jim Krystosek
seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried.
The Council reviewed the Income and Bills to be paid. A motion was made
by Donatus Vetsch and seconded by Don Cornelius to pay the bills, check
numbers 10788 through 10831. All were in favor and the motion carried.
Donatus asked if Omann Brothers had corrected the walkways in the park
yet. It was decided to have Ken check into it.
Don asked if there were going to be some restrooms put in down at the
Four Seasons Park. Ken told the Council that the Lions were not going to put
any in this year but may be planning to do so in the Spring. It was decided
that we would look into installing some satellite units from Scherer
Sanitation for 2 months this fall.
Maureen informed the Council that Jackie Peterson's 3 month salary
increase was due. The amount agreed upon at her starting date was $.25
increase per hour after 3 months of service. A motion was made by Donatus
Vetsch and seconded by Bob Braun to accept the increase. All were in favor and
the motion carried.
The Council reviewed the 1990 Census Local review report. Maureen told
the Council that the figure of 1,242 residents could go up since they are
still getting all the numbers put together.
Maureen told the Council that for their information there was a memo
regarding the meeting of the new school location. There may be some changes
and that the school may go more westerly than originally planned.
The Council set a meeting for October 1, at 7:00 p.m. regarding the
Assessment for delinquent sewer payments as well of the weed removal issue.
The Council then reviewed the Sheriff's report, and the Park Board
minutes.
Don Cornelius then asked what was being done regarding having the City
Contract for garbage hauling. The Council decided to check with HPG and West
Tonka to start getting some costs together.
PAGE 6
Don then informed the Council that 18 wheelers are going through on 51st
Street. He reminded the Council that there are ordinances for this not to be
done, and that we should enforce the ordinance. He would like to see a Deputy
patrol that area and start ticketing the drivers for doing this.
The question was raised regarding the blacktop by the railroad on
C.S.A.H. 19. Maureen said that the blacktop was purposely left off so that
they could match it up with the new track alignment. She said she would check
with the County Engineer regarding this matter.
With no further comment from the Council members, Jim Krystosek made a
motion to adjourn the meeting. Don Cornelius seconded the motion. All were in
favor and the motion carried.

Re: Eull Concrete facility
Dear Mr. Eull:
Our office represents the City of Albertville. There
have been complaints from neighbors regarding the filling
and site appearance of your property.
As you may know, the City of Albertville's Zoning Ordinance
requires a permit pursuant to Section 1300 of the Code for
filling on the property. In addition, Section 1000.9a of
the Zoning Ordinance addresses drainage modifications and
would have application to your site.
It further appears that there may be outside storage -
violations under 1000.16 of the Zoning Ordinance as well as
possible refuse violations under Section 1000.15. You hereby
are put on notice that filling/storage on the site should
be terminated immediately and that the matter should be then
addressed with the City to explore what can and should be
done to resolve both the existing and future issues.
Would you please contact the City Administrator regarding
the application for a City Permit for filling so that the
matter can be processed in the normal course of events. In
the interim, however, additional filling should be halted
until proper permits are considered by the City and acted
upon.
Very truly yours,
Robert J. Miller

Re: Illegal Building on Premises
Ladies and Gentlemen:
LEGAL ASSISTANT
HOLLY V. TROMBLEY
As you know, our office represents the City of Albertville
and is their City Attorney. The City Administrator and City
Planner have inspected your site and indicated that some significant
violations exist regarding the situation:
1. No building can be relocated in the City without
compliance with section 1400 of the Zoning Ordinance.
2. As there are a substantial number of structures
already on this site, a PUD conditional use permit
is likely required (Section 1000.3.d.).
3. The site as well as the building in question appear
to be nonconforming relative to setbacks per ordinance.
A possible variance or again a PUD-CUP may be necessary.
4. There may be a violation of exterior finish of the
building pursuant to Section 1100.4.
5. Building Code violations are also likely relative
to:
a. Separation from an adjoining structure.
b. Foundation.
6. There may also be a traffic visibility violation
(Section 1000.8) and a public safety problem with
the abutting railroad tracks.
It is imperative that you contact the City administrator
to set up a meeting where this matter can be clarified and
