0OUNCIL MINUTES
NOVEMBER 19, 1990
The regular meeting of the Albertville City Council was called to order
by Mayor Gary Sc.hwensfeier. Members present included Jim Krystosek, Bob Braun,
Don Cornelius, and Donatus Vetsch. Others present were Council Member -elect
Duane Berning, Maureen Andrews, Thore Meyer, Bob Miller, Kevin Mealhouse, Ken
Lindsay and Jackie Peterson.
The agenda for the evening's meeting was reviewed by the Council.
Maureen informed the Council of two additional items to add to the agenda. The
additional items included the Jaycees` _request to install a banner cabinet and
the approval of Jackie Peterson's payment for accrued compensation time. A
motion was made by Bob Braun to approve the agenda. Don Cornelius seconded the
motion. All were in favor and the motion carried.
The minutes for the November 5th Council meeting was reviewed by the
Council. Donatus Vetsch asked what the status was regarding the bill received
by Saxon for the repair of the Chevy pickup. Jim Krystosek said he. will be
giving them a call for an explanation. Donatus then asked about the Frankfort:
Township bill for gravel. Maureen said she had not yet had the chance to
contact them, but will in the next couple of days.
Donatus Vetsch then made a motion to approve the minutes. Jim Krystosek
seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried.
The first item of discussion for the evening was hearing from the
Maintenance Department. Ken Lindsay explained the Council that Mike Rutkowski
had completed the written test for his class B license, but now needs to
complete the driving portion. He. stated that we. either need to borrow or rent
a truck for him tk) use, do to the fact that the truck the City owns does not
qualify for him tk- use. Jim Krystosek mentioned that he knew of a person in
Golden Valley that rents out his trucks. After some discussion it was decided
that we would ask Dave Vetsch of Vetsch Cabinets if we. could use one of his
trucks. Donatus said he would check into it.
Ken then reminded the Council that we. need to put in writing the City,s
snow removal policy. He said that it is a requirement he had Learned of when
he attended the Street Maintenance workshop earlier this fall. He pointed out
that it is a good idea for the City to do so, since the liability of damage or
injury to persons during the snow removal, would fall on the City. It would
then leave the City susceptible to a lawsuit.
Bob Miller then said that he does have some policies from other Cities
that he could revise for the City of Albertville.
Ken then brought up needing the authorization from the Council to check
for misuse of sump -pumps in residents homes. At that point Gary Schwenzfeier
asked Bob if it were legal to go into the residents home to check. Bob said
that it is legal as long as the resident allows them to come in. But if they
refuse to let the inspector in, then legally they can not. At that time the
City would have to obtain. a Probable Cause Search Warrant.
After some discussion, the Council decided to keep a record of who would
not allow the inspection to take place. If the City believes that they are
illegally using a slurp -pump, the City will take action at that time to get the
search warrants.
It was the general consensus of the Council that most persons in the City
do not realize that they can not run their water into the sewer system. So it
was decided that at, the time of the initial inspections, the inspector would
bring along a letter of explanation to give the residents. The Council felt
that if properly handled, most people would allow the inspector in to explain
and show the persons how to properly run their drainage pipes.
The Council then discussed when would be a good time to do the initial
inspections. It was decided that Ken and Mike would go out one day during the
week, keeping a record of who was home and who was not. Then on another day,
they would go out on an evening or on a Saturday.
With no further discussion Don Cornelius made a motion to have Bob Miller
draft a letter regarding the sump -pump regulations, then have Kevin Mealhouse,
Ken Lindsay and Mike Rutkowski hand them out as they do the inspections. Bob
Braun seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried.
Ken then informed the Council that the raising of the manhole on County
Road 19 was complete.
He then explained that the Maintenance Crew is busy preparing for the
Winter months. He then presented his list of projects that he has planned for
the next few months.
Hearing no further comments from the Maintenance Department, the Council
then heard from Thore Meyer, the City's Engineer.
Thore submitted an updated feasibility study for the construction of the
nine -ton streets in Savitski's Sunrise Commercial Park. He noted that, the
sanitary sewer, water main, storm sewer and gravel base construction was
completed with the 1988-7 Improvement Project. He said that this proposed
project would complete the nine -ton street construction requirements and would
consist of a levelling course of Class 5 base, concrete curb and gutter,
concrete driveway aprons, two-inch bituminous base course, two-inch bituminous
wearing course and the necessary black topsoil with sod/seeding.
PA
He then described the costs involved as follows:
Street Construction $55,150.00
Contingencies 2,760.00
Engineering 9,950.00
TOTAL $67,860.00
He noted that the above costs do not include the local legal and
administration, bonding and financing costs.
He also pointed out that the updated estimated costs were up 10% more than
the study done two years ago. The reasons for this is primarily based on the
oil crisis and the increasing costs of oil.
He then said that the above project is feasible as proposed and would be
a benefit to the abutting properties. Some cost savings could be anticipated
if additional projects could be combined to make a larger, more attractive
project.
The Council briefly discussed the report. Bob Braun made a motion to
accept the feasibility study. Don Cornelius seconded the motion. All were in
favor and the motion carried.
Maureen then informed the Council that she had received some complaints
again regarding the condition of 50th Street. They told her that when the last
gravel that was put down was very nice, but only for a short time. Since the
big trucks have been using the road, the gravel it is now gone and it is back
to the washboard effect, and very dusty again.
The Council then discussed the future plans for the road. The Council
asked Thore to reiterate what he felt, would be the let, phase of the
reconstruction of the road.
Thore stated that he felt that it would be conceivable to install the
let, lift of black top and that the sewer line to service some of those homes
could be installed at a later date, noting that they would not necessarily be
serviced off 50th Street.
There was discussion whether or not it should be done in phases or should
it be done as a completed 9 ton road. Maureen pointed out that the road has been
designated as a major arterial road.
The Council recognized the problem and decided that for the mean time, the
City will have Wayne White blade it down the next time it rains.
Thore then informed the Council that he had talked to Pete Rattika,
Engineer of Frankfort Township. Be had told Thore that they were going to fill
in the drainage ditch within the next, two weeks. Thore also said that MNIDO(--T
will not share in the cost of an 8" drainage pipe, that it is to small. They
will however share in the costs of a 12" line.
Thore said that he needed a copy of the Resolution to go ahead with the
next step, which is filling out the necessary forms provided by MN/DOT. He
3
would than send the forms to them and MN/DQT can then start, the processing the
forms for approval, which will take approximately 18 weeks.
Thore then discussed the possible Fire Barn Building. He stated that he
had some rough estimates put together. They were as follows:
50 X 90 building - (estimated by Olson Const.) $89,000.00
(would include 4 walls, roof, and floor.
Masonry Construction with 14 feet, high
side walls, Pre -cast Roof and 4 doors)
Subtotal for Building $89 , 000 . fZ0
ADDITIONAL ITEMS
Plumbing $10,000.00
Heating an Venting $ 7,500.00
Electrical $ 6,000.00
Additional Soil Corrections $ 3,000.00
Subtotal for Additional Items $26,500.O&I
FINISH MATERIALS FOR INTERIOR
Painting and Partitions $ 3,000,00
$ 3,000.00
EXTERIOR WORK
Concrete for Track Driveways/with Fill Material $10,500.00
Parking area - Bituminous with fill material $15,200.00
Subtotal for Exterior Work $25,700.00
Existing Soil Corrections $ 7,200.00
Subtotal for Soil Correction $ 7,200.00
GRAND TOTAL $151,400.00
Thore added that according to Jack Jarrard at Olson Concrete, pre -cast
wall are not economical unless they were 20' high, which would add an additional
$5,000.00 to $8,000.00 dollars, to the cost of the project. He also stated that
the wall height should be increased to 16 or 18 feet if we were still
considering radiant heat. He said that the radiant heat could possibly blister
the roofs of the vehicles, For the additional height of 2 feet it would rzu7
about another $4,000.00
4
He then stated that we should start getting quotes and drawings put
together. All of these things take time, and in order to start construction in
the Spring we need to keep going on this project.
The Council asked Kevin Mealhouse, the City`s Building Inspector, if there
where any special requirements for plumbing pipe size, since it will be designed
as a Fire Barn. He stated there was not.
Thorn asked the Council if triey could put in writing the special
requirements the Fire Department needs. After some discussion the Council
decided to have a work meeting with Thore and a few of the Firemen to discuss
the specifics they will require.
The issue of how the residents of the City feel about the cost, of the new
building. There was some discussion: about holding a Referendum vote. Maureen
pointed out the additional costs that are involved in setting it up, because it
has to be done just like a regular election. There is the cost of hiring
election judges, ballots, publishing notices, etc. The Council then decided
against it.
The possibility of the Lions and the Jaycees donating a portion of the
cost, and the firemen doing some of the finishing work on the inside, was
discussed as ways of holding the costs down.
The Council then decided the set up a Work Meeting for Tuesday the 27th
with Thore and some of the Firemen to discuss the specifics of the building.
The Council then heard from Robert Miller the City Attorney. Bob discussed
the Ordinance pertaining to the Trash Enclosures. Be said he had reviewed the
revised ordinance from David Licht. He stated that it seams to be satisfactory.
Be reminded the Council that the Ordinance has been in effect since January 1st
of 1990, and that it, only pertains to Commercial and Industrial properties, and
that the Ordinance did not state what types of materials were to be used. After
some discussion it was decided that the types of materials to be used would be
left up to Kevin Mealhouse the Building Inspector to approve.
There was concern by the Council as to the costs for the materials to
build the enclosures, in addition to the problems that may arise for the
Sanitation trucks in trying to empty the trash dumpsters.
After lengthy discussion Don Cornelius made a motion to adopt AN ORDINANCE
AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 1988-12 FOR TRASH ENCLOSURES. Jim Krystosek seconded the
motion. At that point it could not be determined if there was a 4/5ths vote to
carry the motion, so a roll call was carried out. Jim Krystosek voted "Yea.",
Donatus Vetsch voted "Nay", Don Cornelius voted "Yea", Bob Braun voted "Yea".
Since there was not a 4/5th vote, Mayor Gary Schwenzfeier had to cast the final
vote. Gary Schwenzfeier voted "Yea". The motion was carried and the amendment
was adopted.
The Council then discussed the City Administrator's Contract proposal.
The Council members all agreed on the revised contract except for the section
No. 7 TERMINATION AND RESIGNATION, section B, paragraph two, stating:
In the event of termination of the Administrator by the City, which
G1
termination is without basis of items "just cause", the City agrees
to provide three months notice of termination and the Administrator
shall receive continued salary payments (including benefits in
subparagraph 5b through 5h, inclusive) as severance pay for a period
not to exceed six (6) month's salary (and benefits) at the time of
termination.
There was concern regarding the cost involved in continuing to pay the
salary and a new City Administrator's salary at the same time. Maureen stated
that she would agree to amending the contract to state that if the event that,
situation being discussed would arise and she got a new job that she would notify
the City and the severance payment would be discontinued at the time of her
starting a new job.
The next issue of concern was the length of the severance payment. Some
of the Council members felt that, 6 months was to long of period to pay out
severance. It was pointed out by Maureen that her concern that if she was
relieved of her position without just cause that it could take several months
to find a new job, because Administrators positions are riot always open.
It was suggested that the Council would feel more comfortable with a longer
notice and not as much severance pay. Maureen stated that she still felt the
6 months was reasonable, but would be willing to consider a 4 month notice and
a 4 month severance clause.
Additional items discussed included the length of notice required to be
given by Maureen in the event that she would quit and the fact that the contract,
serves as protection for the City as well as Maureen.
Regarding the first concern, it was noted that, the contract stated two
month notice is required. It was the concern of some of the Council members
that if Maureen gave her notice during a critical time, such as budgeting the
City could find themselves shorthanded.
Maureen noted that if termination of the contract is done while there is
a good working relationship between herself and the Council that arrangements
could be made that she would do additional work for the City until a new
Administrator was brought on to replace her. Noting that in these cases, the
work is done under special consultant, contract.
Duane Berning asked if in the event that the Administrator left, noting
that he was not, referring to any particular instance, would the City be looking
at hiring an administrator with experience or would they be looking at someone
right out of school. Gary Schwenafeier stated that he felt, that the City should
hire someone with experience because of the activities and the amount of work
the Administrator is required to do. Other members of the Council concerned with
this opinion.
Regarding the second matter, Jim Krystosek stated that he felt that the
contract protected the City as well as Maureen, because of the fact that it lays
out the requirements of the Administrator, provides for notice of quitting as
well as a variety of other items.
In a related matter, it was pointed out to the Council that in the event
ri
that they ever enter into another contract with a different Administrator they
will be looking at additional clauses being added, including but not limited to:
City covering the expenses of the Administrator's moving, longer severance,
additional vacation pay and added benefits, particularly if they look at hiring
someone with experience. Bob pointed out that these are common requests that
have to be negotiated in order to bring on someone from another city.
After a lengthy discussion the Maureen state that she would be willing to
settle for 4 months notice and four months severance pay. The Council was poled
on their opinion of the agreement. Bob Braun and Donatus Vetsch noted that they
still felt that four months severance was to long, while the other three members
were comfortable with the item.
Hearing no other discussion the Council acted on the severance clause of
the contract.
A motion was made by Don Cornelius and seconded Jim Krystosek to approve
the contract with the 4 month notice of termination and 4 months severance clause
and change regarding the termination of severance in the event, that Maureen
would find employment during the severance period. A roll call vote was taken
on the matter.
The roll call vote went as follows: Bob Braun voted "Nay", Don Cornelius
voted "Yea", Donatus Vetsch voted "Nay" and Jim Krystosek voted "Yea". Because
of a tied vote, Gary Schwenzfeier was required to cast the deciding vote with
a "Yea" vote. The motion carried on a 3/2 decision of the Council.
The issue of the upkeep of outside storage of the old "Andy`s Camper"
building was discussed. It was noted that Custom Canopy is currently using part
of the building and there is now a problem with outside storage and yard
maintenance.
Donatus Vetsch asked what, the status was regarding having them clean up
their storage. Kevin Mealriouse explained to the Council that when the previous
owners had the property they had cleared it when it was sold it and that Custom
Canopy was now renting space in the building. The Council decided to have Kevin
meet with Bob Miller at the site. They would then go over what needed to be
corrected. Bob will then compose a letter to send to the owners informing them
of what needed to be done to correct the situation.
Trie Council then reviewed the Income and Bills to be paid list. Maureen
Cher: informed the Council that Jackie Peterson had 18.75 accumulated hours of
compensation time that she wished to be paid for. The Council agreed to pay her
for her time.
The Council then reviewed the final two billings from Metro West Inspection
Services, Inc. (Loren Kohnen). Kevin Mealriouse, Albertville`s current Building
Inspector, pointed out some discrepancies in what was actually completed for
payment. The Council decided to hold payment ► ntil Kevin could review the permit
records, and present his finding at the next Council Meeting.
Donatus Vetsch then made a motion to pay the bills, check numbers 11028-
11078 including payment to Jackie Peterson for her compensation time. Jim
Krystosek seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried.
7
Gary Schwenafeier then brought up the issue of smoking in the City Hall
during work hours. He asked that the employees who wish to smoke, to please
limit their amount.
Maureen then brought up the Jaycees request for the construction of the
banner cabinet. She informed the Council that the ,Jaycees planned on attending
the next Council Meeting if nothing was to be We at this meeting. It was
brought up that the Council did plan on addressing the issue after the 1991
budget was complete, and for Maureen to inform them of their decision.
Hearing no further comments from members of the Council, Bob Braun made
a motion to adjourn the meeting. Don Cornelius seconded the motion. All were
in favor and the motion carried..

COUNCIL MINUTES
NOVEMBER 5TH, 1990
The regular meeting of the Albertville City Council was called
to order by acting mayor Don Cornelius. Members present included
Jim Krystosek, Donatus Vetsch, and Bob Braun. Mayor Gary
Schwenzfeier was absent. Others present were Maureen Andrews,
Thore Meyer, Bob Miller, and Jackie Peterson.
The agenda for the evening's meeting was reviewed by the
Council. Maureen informed the Council of three additional items
to add to the agenda. The additional items included the amendment
to the Zoning Ordinance regarding trash enclosures design
standards, the review and approval of the bid for the manhole
repair on County State Aid Highway (C.S.A.H.) No. 19 at the
intersection of C.S.A.H. No. 37 and the review and approval of the
Employment Contract between the City and the Administrator. A
motion was made by Donatus Vetsch to approve the agenda. Jim
Krystosek seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion
carried.
The minutes for the October 15th Council meeting was reviewed
by the Council. Jim Krystosek pointed out that on page 4,
paragraph 4, the sentence should read, A maximum of $100.00 per
truck load of gravel, which included the cost of the trucking."
Donatus then pointed his concern of how paragraph 3, on page
3 read. He wanted to make it understood that all we are stating
is that we have the capacity to handle the water if all of the land
was developed, and that we will expect compensation for the extra
runoff.
Maureen then informed the Council that she had talked to
Otsego, and they explained that with the upcoming election, they
have not yet had the opportunity to respond to our letter of
requesting participation in solving the water drainage problem.
Donatus Vetsch then made a motion to approve the minutes with
the corrections. Jim Krystosek seconded the motion. All were in
favor and the motion carried.
Make our City ........ Your City
We invite Home, Industry, Business

The first item of discussion for the evening was the approval
of Jim Becher's request for working extra hours to help pay his
$500.00 fine to the County. Maureen explained that Jim has
completed his community service portion of his agreement. He now
would like to be paid for his hours so that he can in turn pay off
his fine.
The Council was informed that Jim works 20 hours a week under
the Lakes and Prairie Program or 4 hours a day at no charge to the
City. He had also been working off some Community Service hours
as well so he had been working a total of 30 hours per week. At
this time Jim has the Community Service hours worked off but still
needs to work off the fine.
The Council had some concern that all though Jim is doing a
good job, and that we have really helped as best we can, we may be
Just creating a third maintenance position. It was pointed out
that in the beginning his job was to only be a temporary part time
helper, and he has been with the City ever since. It was noted,
however, that he has been on the Lakes and Prairie program or the
Summer Youth program.
The Council then calculated out that with 10 hours per week
paying $3.95 per hour, it would take approximately 3 months for Jim
to pay his $500.00 fine.
At that time the Council decided that before they approved any
additional hours for Jim Becher, that Ken Lindsay, the Maintenance
Superintendent should make a list of all of the projects that he
is planning to do. The Council then can determine whether or not
it is feasible to provide Jim with the additional hours.
The Council then briefly discussed the election procedures for
the following day. Do to the limited space in the City Hall, it was
decided to place the registration tables in the Fire Hall which is
partly the Maintenance shop. The Maintenance Department had planned
to do some welding on the 6th. The Council directed Maureen to
inform Ken to reschedule the welding and that there will be no
welding done in the shop during Election day.
The Council then heard from Thore Meyer the City Engineer.
Maureen informed the Council that Andy Savitski has requested
that the City consider to the final work (i.e. blacktop, curb and
gutter) for his commercial plat. He would like to get an estimate
on the cost of the improvements since he has someone interested in
purchasing one or two of the lots.
Thore stated that the original Feasibility Report provided
numbers for the total cost of the improvement including the sewer,
water, streets, curb and gutter, but that only the sewer, water and
class five was installed under the 1988-7 Improvement Project. He
2
suggested that because of the time delay on the completion of the
project and the increased costs of blacktopping that it would be
advisable to update the report. He noted that with increasing
costs due to the oil crisis that the numbers could potentially be
underestimated.
It was questioned by one of the Council members whether or not
the road would be a 7 or a 9 ton road and if it was the heavier
designed would the City be responsible for sharing in the cost of
the project as is the potential case for the improvement of 50th
Street. Thore noted that the road has been designed to carry 9
tons, since it is a commercial road. He noted that the City would
not be responsible for the cost difference between a 7 and 9 ton
road because of the fact that the road needs to be 9 ton to carry
the heavier traffic.
Additional discussion regarding this matter focused on the
fact that if 50th Street is upgraded that it would likely be
designed as a 9 ton road to handle the additional traffic, but that
under Minnesota Statutes (429), a 9 ton road would not be 100%
assessed to the abutting property owners because the design would
exceed their benefit of the road. The issue of benefit in this
instance is effected because 50th Street will likely to be designed
as a 9 ton because it is a major arterial road and has the
potential for carrying some truck traffic, yet as a normal
residential street would only be designed as a 7 ton road.
Donatus Vetsch made a motion to order an update of the
Feasibility Report for Savitski's Sunrise Commercial Plat for the
installation of streets, curb and gutter. Jim Krystosek seconded
the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried.
The next issue discussed was the drainage problem in Frankfort
Township. He said that the City is at a point now that if the
project is going to move forward that action has to be taken to
move it on to the next step. If the City of Albertville is going
to take the lead in this project, it was noted that there certain
procedures that needed to carried out. Noting specifically that
in order for the Minnesota Department of Transportation of
Transportation (MN/DOT) to participate in the project that the City
would need to submit to them a request for participation form.
Thore had received from MN/DOT the necessary documentation and
resolutions He said that the City will need to notify them of a
resolution passed by the City and then send a copy of the
resolution and a letter requesting their financial assistance on
the project. MN/DOT will then process the request, noting that it
will take approximately 18 weeks to complete the process. If
MN/DOT approves the request they will then share 20% of the total
cost of the improvement.
It was noted that until MN/DOT approves the request then the
3
bids can be let on the project. In the mean time the final
Feasibility Report can be completed and the required hearings can
be held and the bidding process started.
It was noted that in addition to these issues that the City
and Township would need to deal with the drainage problem
downstream of outlet of the City's.storm drainage pipe which runs
through the Industrial Park. This would likely include talking to
the farmers down stream of the drainage area, noting that this
could be done while we are waiting for a response from MN/DOT.
He pointed out that since we are the carrying party, it would
be a good idea that we develop a Joint Powers Agreement with
Frankfort Township, the City of Otsego and MN/DOT to protect the
City's interest in the project.
Jim Rrystosek then made a motion to pass resolution requesting
MN/DOT'S participation in the storm water project. Donatus Vetsch
seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried.
The Council then discussed the options for the construction
of a new building trying to determine whether or not it should be
built for the Fire Department or Maintenance Department. Thore
said that he had done some checking into the costs of construction
for a masonry building.
He noted that he had talked to Jack Jarrad of the Olson
Company. Jack had told him that in generality a 50'X 90' shell of
a building with 14 foot side walls would run about $89,000.00,
additional cost for the plumbing, electrical work and other
miscellaneous items will run approximately $26,500.00. Additional
cost discussed included:
Painting and Partitions $ 3,000.00
Driveways and Parking Lots $15,700.00
Soil Correction $ 7,200.00
(of which most of
it is completed)
Thore noted that these costs are based on the assumption that
the Fire Department members would be providing the labor on the
interior areas. Based on any additional costs that could come into
play the building could conceivably run about $150,000.00 to
$160,000.00 dollars.
Thore added that Jack pointed out that they had problems with
the type of heating units we are looking at for the building. He
suggested that the building should have higher ceilings if we are
considering radiant heat because they had problems with
the radiant tubes being to hot and to close to the units and
damaging the paint on their trucks.
4
If after checking out the issue on the radiant heat is would
be determined that the sidewalls need to be built high that to
expect the project to run an additional $2,000.00.
At that point the Council decided not to make any decisions
until they scheduled a work meeting later in the week with some of
the Firemen attending.
Maureen then informed the Council that a meeting needed to be
scheduled to canvas the election results. After some discussion
Bob Braun made a motion to schedule the meeting for Wednesday
November 7th at 5:00 p.m.. Jim Krystosek seconded the motion. All
were in favor and the motion carried.
Thore then told the Council that Maureen and himself had met
with Joel Eull 3 weeks prior, and had discussed with him the proper
way he needed to crush the chunks of cement.
Thore informed the Council that while meeting with Joel he had
agreed to use a sheep's foot to crush the rock and then would
backfill afterwards. He had told Joel that the cement had to be
crushed to fist size pieces.
He informed the Council that Joel had completely disregarded
what was supposed to be done. Thore went to the site and
discovered that there were very large cement chunks and that he had
backfilled over the top of it.
Thore then said he sent Joel a letter explaining his
dissatisfaction with what he did. Joel then sent Thore a letter
stating he would correct the problem. Thore then said that nothing
has been done as of yet.
Hearing no further comments from Thore, the Council tabled the
matter until a later date.
The Council next discussed the Conditional Use Permit for John
Rademacher's plans to build a detached garage. Maureen informed'
the Council that the Planning Commission had recommended approval
of the Condition Use Permit with the following four stipulations.
They were as follows:
1. That the applicant takes action to administratively
subdivide the three substandard parcels, which make up his
property, into two lots which more closely conforms to the
standards set forth in the Zoning Ordinance. The
subdivision of property should be done in such a
manner that the lots would provide for a 75 foot frontage
and would equal approximately 12300 square feet each.
2. That the existing garage be removed from the site prior to
the Certificate of Occupancy being granted for the new
5
structure.
3. That no other accessory storage building shall be placed
on the property now or at any time in the future.
4. That the building be constructed of like materials as the
primary structure on the site.
After some discussion between the Council and John Rademacher,
it was decided that the first point was not necessary, because at
some point the three substandard lots had been combined into one
lot on Mr. Rademacher's abstract.
The second issue discussed was that of how Rademacher proposed
to finished the garage. It was noted that the Planning Commission
had recommended that the building be finished in like materials as
the existing house. It was noted that the house is finished with
a stucco exterior. John noted that it was his intention to finish
the garage in a cedar siding so that it would accent the trim on
his house and the future deck he is proposing to build on the back
of the house.
After some additional discussion the Council decided that they
would allow the garage to be finished in a cedar siding providing
that the owner agreed to put on light colored cedar which would
blend in with the color of the house. -
The other issues regarding additional accessory building and
the removal of the old garage prior to the issuance of the
Certificate of Occupancy were discussed.
It was noted that with the standards set forth in the Zoning
Ordinance, John would not be able to build any accessory building
on his property without a variance because of the size of his
proposed garage. It should be noted that John recognizes this
stipulation and does not feel that there is a problem with it.
Secondly it was noted that the existing garage will need to'
be removed prior to the use of the new structure. John noted that
he would like to use the structure until the new garage is done for
storage and will be removing it prior to using the new building
because of its location in front of the doors of the new structure.
Hearing no further comments from John, Jim Krystosek made a
motion to approve the RESOLUTION FOR THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR
JOHN RADEMACHER, with the stipulations listed above. Bob Braun
seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried.
Bob Miller noted that Mr. Rademacher should be responsible for
recording the deed with the County Recorder's Office.
The Council then heard from Robert Miller the City Attorney.
The Council discussed the Ordinance pertaining to sewer
connections. Bob noted that in checking with other cities, their
ordinances assume that sewer service will be provided by the city
in which a property is located but that no ordinance states it
directly. In noting the issue that had been raise because of the
new high school the 1985-2 Ordinance pertaining to sewer connection
has been amended to reflect specific language pertaining to this
matter.
At that time Bob Braun made a motion to adopt the Ordinance
1990-20 amending Ordinance 1985-2 relating to sewer use
regulations. Jim Krystosek seconded the motion. All were in favor
and the motion carried.
The Council then discussed an Ordinance Revision for Trash
Enclosures. According to the Zoning Ordinance all commercial and
industrial businesses are required to enclose their trash
receptacles. The amendment to the ordinance provides for the
Building Inspector to establish the standards for construction of
the enclosures to assure that they are built to hold up.
It was noted that the ordinance pertaining to this regulation
already exists, being adopted with the Zoning Ordinance in 1988.
It was point out that the purpose of the ordinance is to help keep
debris better contained. It would also present a much better
appearance for surrounding neighbors, etc.
There was some discussion as to what kind of materials and
type of structure would be required. There was concern that this
would be to difficult for the sanitation trucks to get in to empty
to containers. The cost factor was also discussed. With all these
questions it was decided that the Council would table further
discussion until the next meeting, in order to do some checking
into the different concerns.
The Council next reviewed the Employment Contract between the
City of Albertville and Maureen Andrews. Bob Miller reviewed the
contract with the Council and Maureen. During the course of the
discussion Maureen was asked to leave the meeting so that the'
Council could discuss the matter with the City Attorney. Upon her
return it was noted that the Council wished to table the matter
until the next meeting but assured Maureen that the contract would
be approved at that time.
The Council then reviewed the Income and Bills to be paid
list. The bill from Frankfort township for 114 yards of class 5
gravel was questioned. The Council decided to do some checking
into the matter before paying the bill. The bill from Saxon Motors
for the repair of the Chevy pickup was also questioned since the
truck went in for repairs under warrantee. The Council decided to
check into the matter.
Bob Braun then made a motion to pay the bills check numbers
7
10980-11027, excluding checks number 10992 for Saxon Motors, and
number 10996 for Frankfort Township. Donatus Vetsch seconded the
motion. All were in favor and the motion carried.
Maureen then informed the Council that the manhole at the Rail
Road intersection on County Road 19, needed to be raised. She
presented the bid received by Carlson Construction for $380.00.
At that time Thore pointed out that he thought that the cost was
to high, and should probable get a bid from Ohman Brothers. The
Council then decided to table any decisions in the matter until
Wednesday night at the meeting to canvas the election results.
Donatus asked if the Thank You notices had been sent out to
the Maintenance Department and all who helped complete the new Four
Seasons Park project this summer. It was decided that they would
go out in the next couple weeks.
Hearing no further comments from other members of the Council,
Jim Krystosek made a motion and Bob Braun seconded the motion, to
adjourn the meeting. All were in favor and the motion carried.

RE: Enclosur s (612) 925 -9,
FILE NO: 163.OS - 90.01 4601 Excelsior Blvd • Suite 410 - Minneapolis, MN 55
Based upon a number of operational concerns voiced by the City
Administrator and the City Building Official, our office has
been directed to revise the Zoning Ordinance section dealing with -
trash enclosures. The primary consideration in this regard is the
construction quality of trash enclosure facilities which are now
mandated in the City.
In the Ordinance amendment which we have prepared to address this
matter, a copy of which is attached, you will note that we have
specified construction standards for trash enclosures to be a
responsibility of the Building Official. In our review of this
matter, we felt that there should not be a rigid standard dictated
by the Ordinance as many and varied types of situations will likely
be encountered. As a consequence, we felt it appropriate to rely
upon the discretion of the Building Official to establish construction
standards as well as to review and approve design and construction
itself.
We believe this amendment is fairly straight forward.. Should there
be questions, however, do not hesitate to contact our office.
