The Council reviewed the memo dated April 15 from Ken Lindsay
concerning water in the flow meter manhole. City Engineer Thore
Meyer explained that the manhole itself is good and that the water
appears to be coming from the top of the manhole itself. The
Council directed the maintenance department to raise the manhole
housing the flow meter and seal the top of the manhole. The
Council also directed the maintenance department to get dirt around
the manholes that were raised along County Road 37 and taper the
dirt back around the manholes.

Mayor Walsh told the Council that Bob Heuring has offered to
take all the compost materials, with the exception of the brush,
that the City collects on April 27th to use as bedding. The
Council agreed to give Heuring the materials he can use.
The Council reviewed the recommendation to approve Barthel's
mini -storage building proposal. The Council found that the
property has not yet been platted. The Council advised the
Barthels that a preliminary plat must be submitted for the City's
approval before more action on the proposal can be taken. A
certified site plan detailing drive widths, materials of drives,
landscaping, elevations of the site and buildings in relation to
the street, and drainage must also be submitted. Potter made a
motion to send Barthel's proposal back to the Planning & Zoning for
preliminary plat approval. Barthel seconded the motion. All voted
aye. The Planning & Zoning Commission must also consider amending
the Zoning Ordinance to make mini -storage buildings a permitted use
in a B-3 zone. A public hearing was set for the Planning & Zoning
Commission to consider zoning amendments for May 12, 1992 at 7:00
PM. A public hearing for the Planning & Zoning Commission to
consider Barthel's preliminary plat was set for May 12, 1992, at
7:15 PM.
The Council reviewed the Planning & Zoning Commission's
recommendation to approve the plans for Steffens' Meat Market.
Engineer Thore Meyer has reviewed Steffens' drainage proposal.
This proposal uses two culverts for drainage. Thore stated that
this drainage proposal will work, but he feels that more urban
drainage methods without the use of culverts would be more
aesthetically pleasing. Steffens indicated that cost factors
prevent them from any other drainage means. Potter made a motion
to approve the plans submitted for Steffens' Meat Market,
contingent upon the following:
(1) The city engineer officially approve the
drainage issues.
(2) The Zoning Administrator approve the variance
to allow the building to be built at a maximum
of 12" below street level.
Barthel seconded the motion. All voted aye.
City Attorney Mike Couri suggested that the Council consider
granting preliminary plat approval for Psyk's 6th Addition,
contingent upon MPCA granting the sewer extension necessary. Couri
explained that since the Planning & Zoning Commission has already
granted preliminary plat approval for the 6th Addition, there are
time constraints in which the Council must act. If the Council
does not approve the preliminary plat in a certain length of time,
the plat must proceed through Planning & Zoning again. Councilman
Potter stated he would abstain from voting on the issue because of
a possible conflict of interest. Councilman Berning indicated that
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
April 20, 1992
Page 3 of 5
he is opposed to granting preliminary plat approval to Psyk's Sth
Addition because the city engineer is also the engineer for Psyk.
Mayor Walsh tabled discussion of the issue until all information
is available to the Council.
Couri explained that a meeting will be set up with Rod Fraser
from Fraser Steel as soon as possible to sign documents. All
approvals have been received.
Couri reported that he has contacted the Brainerd MNDOT to see
if there is any funding available for Park & Ride projects. He
also discussed the City's desire to have an exit ramp at County
Road 19 and Interstate 94. Because the interstate system is
federally funded, it is not likely that an exchange will be added.
Mayor Walsh announced that a closed meeting to discuss
personnel issues was held on April 13th. The Council agreed at
that meeting to handle the situation verbally and to take no
further action.
Engineer Thore Meyer presented the Council with the
^ Feasibility Study for the 1992-11B Improvement Project (Existing
Sewer System Improvements). The Council will review the study and
be prepared to discuss it at the next regular meeting.
Doug & Beatrice Psyk presented the Council with a Petition For
Local Improvement and Agreement To Be Assessed, signed and dated
April 20, 1992. Councilman Potter stated he would abstain from
voting because of a potential conflict of interest. Vetsch made
a motion to approve the following resolution:
RESOLUTION 1992-10
BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City
of Albertville, that the Council accepts the
Petition For Local Improvement and Agreement
To Be Assessed for Psyk's 5th Addition, as
presented by Douglas and Beatrice Psyk; and in
doing so, find that Douglas and Beatrice Psyk
are 100% property owners.
FURTHER, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council
of the City of Albertville, hereby directs the
City Engineer to prepare a Feasibility Study
for public improvements in the Pysk's 5th
Addition.

The Council agreed to wait until the next meeting to see if
the Frankfort Town Board has taken action to appoint a committee
to resolve the I-94 drainage problem before a decision to proceed
is made.
Potter made a motion to set a work meeting of the Council May
11, 1992, at 7:00 PM to discuss the revised plan and new cost
estimates for improving 50th Street and to discuss the 1992-11B
Improvement Project. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.

the motion. All voted aye.

presented (Check #'s 6310-6348). Potter seconded the motion. All
voted aye.
Vetsch suggested that the City retain one-fourth of the liquor
license fees ($300) paid to the City by John Krizek. Barthel made
a motion to refund $1,100 of the total $1,200 payment from John
Krizek for a liquor license for the proposed Applejax restaurant
and bar. The $100 fee will pay for the City's administrative
costs. Berning seconded the motion. Barthel, Berning, Potter and
Walsh voted aye. Vetsch voted no. The motion carried.
Vetsch made a motion to file a claim against the City's Errors
and Omissions policy in regard to the special assessments that were
not removed from the Carl Swanson property after those assessments
had been paid in full to the City in 1986. The Swansons were asked
to provide the City with a letter detailing their special
assessment payments to the County from 1986 through 1992 and their
claim of interest owed on these monies during that period. Linda
was directed to contact the City's insurance agent and submit this
claim. Barthel seconded the motion. All voted aye.
By consensus the Council awarded first place in the City's
logo contest to the design entered by Lenora L. Cagle and awarded
second place to the design entered by Lois and Bill Roden.
Potter made a motion to change the employee work week from
Monday through Sunday to Wednesday through Tuesday. Vetsch

tasks by city staff. Errors and omission insurance does provide
coverage for third party suits resulting from the actions or
inactions of the Council or its staff.
LeRoy Berning, representing the Albertville Friendly City Days
Committee, requested that another pole be placed along Main Avenue
to allow the Committee to place a banner over the street. The
Council had no problem with the Committee's proposal.

street sweeping from T & S Trucking at $52.00 per hour. Berning
seconded the motion. All voted aye.
The Council discussed having a compost site for City residents
again this year. Mayor Walsh suggested that instead of having
residents drop off compost material as has been done in the past,
the City should select a day when compost materials will be picked
up curbside by City maintenance. Barthel made a motion to set
Monday, April 27, 1992, for picking up compost material curbside.
Berning seconded the motion. All voted aye. Councilman Vetsch
agreed to work with Linda and Ken setting up the compost pickup
day.

preliminary plat approval for Psyk's 5th Addition contingent upon

The Council saw no problem with Ron Long's request for a 25'
setback for Lot 3, Block 4, Westwind Addition. The request was
made because of the lot's unusual configuration. Linda, serving
as zoning administrator, will approve the request.
The Council discussed the request from Fire Chief Rick Wacker
to increase the Firemen's Relief Association benefit from $240 to
$400 for 1993 and to $500 for 1994. According to the schedule
provided by Pat Krause, increasing the benefit will not have an
effect on the 1992 City budget. Potter made a motion to set the
Firemen's Relief Association's benefit at $300 per year. The
motion died for a lack of a second.

application fee of $1200. Kricek explained that the deal to
purchase the old Ronay's building has fallen through. The Council
directed Linda to contact Mr. Kricek and request that he submit a
written request for a refund for the Council to consider.
Linda reported that the special assessments on the lot owned
by Carl Swanson were paid in full to the City in 1986. Wright
County was not notified of the pay-off. Consequently, the

interest since 1987 and the Council will make a decision at the

MEMO
April 15, 1992
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: KEN LINDSAY
RE: FLOW METER MANHOLE
The manhole that houses the flow meter was pumped down on
April 7 and the flow meter was installed. The meter is working
well now.
On April 14 I checked the manhole. There was about six inches
of water in the manhole. There has been a problem with water in
this manhole since it was installed last fall.
A sump pump could be purchased, which will cost about $75, and
it could be used to pump the manhole out on a weekly basis.
We have also a check valve manhole a few feet away, which has
never had water in it. I feel that the water problem with the flow
meter manhole can be fixed without the use of a sump pump.

PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
APRIL 20, 1992
ALBERTVILLE CITY HALL 7:00 PM
COMMISSION MEMBERS PRESENT: Tom Haller, LeRoy Berning,
Donatus Vetsch, Tim Phillips, Rick Bishop, City Engineer Thore
Meyer, and Secretary Ann Bednarczyk
Chairman Haller called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM.
The agenda was amended to include Andy Savitski"s building and
site plans for approval prior to his application for a commercial
building permit. The amended agenda was approved on a motion by
Phillips and seconded by Bishop. All voted aye.
Berning made a motion to approve the minutes of the March 24,
1992, meeting as submitted. Bishop seconded the motion. All voted
aye.
Berning made a motion to table the Fehn rezoning request until
the City Attorney submits to the Planning Commission his
recommendations regarding exactly what options are open to the City
and what he feels is the least, costly and most efficient way to
handle this matter. Phillips seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Russ Voght of Otsego Tool addressed the Commission with regard
to the on -going drainage problems in the building he owns (the old
PPM building). Meyer stated the need for a site plan showing
elevations and drainage information so the Commission may properly
address any potential impact on neighboring property. Bishop
advised Voght that an excavation permit would be required if more
than 50 cu. yds. of dirt would be moved. Voght was given copies of
the Landfill and Excavating Ordinances for his use in preparing
proper documentation.
Don Barthel addressed the Commission requesting approval for
a proposed mini storage facility. After reviewing the site plan
submitted by Barthel, Meyer stated that the current site plan does
not contain sufficient information and that the City needs a more
detailed site plan showing elevations, drainage, landscaping,
surface coverings, drive widths etc. prior to being able to make a
determination on the feasibility of this proposal. Contractor
Miller stated it would be no problem to furnish this information.
Miller also stated that they are looking at using a Class 2
material for covering the drive area. Barthel stated that, he wants
to divert the street into the mini storage area only and not finish
the street any further than necessary at this time.
Bishop made a motion to table further discussion until such
time as a revised site plan is submitted.
PLANNING COMMISSION - 4/14/92
PAGE 2
Barthel was upset about having to address the landscaping
situation and doesn't feel that landscaping is pertinent to the
mini storage business. Barthel stated that he feels this City has
too many ordinances, most of which do not pertain to a City the
size of Albertville. At this point Barthel left the meeting.
Vetsch made a motion to approve the proposed mini storage unit
contingent upon submission of a more extensive site plan showing
drive widths, material of drives, proposed landscaping, elevations
of site and building, and drainage. Said site plan is to be
submitted to the Building Inspector and must meet with his
approval. Bishop at this point rescinded his earlier motion to
table further discussion on this matter. Haller seconded the
motion made by Vetsch. All voted aye.
Deborah Carron's request to construct a temporary hoop house
on the Hackenmueller property for the purpose of selling flowers
during the months of May and June was considered next. It would be
considered a permitted accessory use. No building permit will be
required. She also submitted a letter from Ed Hackenmueller
granting permission to build the Hoop House on his property. The
Commission felt there would be no problem with this and that no
action was necessary.
The proposed Steffen Brothers Meat Market was discussed. The
Building Inspector had already reviewed the building plans with the
Steffens' builder, Mike Leary. It was determined that they need to
add a fire stop in the attic space and that they need to install a
grinder pump for sewage. There was concern among Commission
members regarding the fact that the property is quite low and that
the building floor elevation will not meet with the City"s
ordinance. It would not be cost effective to fill the property.
Leary estimated a cost of about $27,000. Leary presented his
alternate plan for dealing with any possible drainage problems.
Bishop excused himself from the meeting at 8:35 PM.
The consensus of the Commission was that it would require a
minor variance in order for the Steffens to have their building
floor elevation below that stated in the ordinance.
Berning made a motion to approve the plans submitted by the
Steffen brothers contingent upon submission of a revised site plan
showing more extensive drainage information and also to recommend
that the Zoning Administrator approve the variance to allow the
building to be built at a maximum of 12" below the street level.
The motion was seconded by Haller. All voted aye.
PLANNING COMMISSION - 4/14/92
PAGE 3
Andrew Savitski addressed the Commission regarding approval of
the building and site plan for his proposed pole building. The
Commission was concerned with possible drainage problems and felt
the submitted site plan did not contain sufficient information for
proper evaluation. Savitski was advised to bring a final site plan
showing elevations, drainage, and landscaping. Savitski estimated
that he could have this completed by the following week. He will
bring the new final site plan to the April 28th meeting.
The Commission met with the Park Board to discuss plans the
Park Board had for future development of parks i.e. what their
goals are and how they would like to see everything tied together.
Both the Commission and the Park Board feel there is a need for
walking paths to connect the High School and the Elementary School.
They would also like to try to connect all parks with walking
paths. Meyer is to put together a map showing all additions with
locations of parks and walking paths so future continuity can be
maintained. The map is to be kept at City Hall for future use and
reference.
Access to the park in the Westwind addition was discussed.
Neither the Commission nor the Board are comfortable with the
access as proposed by the Developer and will discuss changes with
the Developer. They feel the current location of the proposed
access is not in the best interest of the park. Both the
Commission and the Board feel strongly that the Developer should be
required to erect a fence around the detention pond which is
located adjacent to the dedicated park land.
Berning made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 10:30.
Phillips seconded the motion. All voted aye.
