plantings and other miscellaneous items within the City right-of-
way. The Council directed Ken to inform those property owners that

that right-of-way. The City is under no obligation to replace
and/or repair those items. Linda will also send a follow-up letter
to each of those property owners.
Ken explained that the "No Truck" sign on Barthel Industrial
Drive has been removed several times and thrown into the ditch.
Ken will replace the sign this time using extra concrete.
The manhole housing the flow meter is still collecting water.
The city engineers have looked at the manhole and there is nothing
more that can be done with the manhole itself to stop this problem.

The other manhole at the ponds has a tube that drains directly to
the lift station. Ken is in the process of getting quotes on
having a drain installed on the flow meter manhole.
Ken recommended that if the second lift of blacktop in the
Westwind Second Addition is not completed before snowfall, the
manholes and gate valves must be lowered in order to plow snow.
Thore told the Council that the second lift of blacktop is
scheduled yet this fall. Thore was directed to contact Redstone
Construction to insure that the blacktopping is completed as soon
as possible.
Ken presented a list of the areas in the City where rocks,
shrubs, and landscaping have been placed around hydrants. The
Council will ask the Planning & Zoning Commission to consider
drafting an ordinance prohibiting the placement of landscaping
materials around fire hydrants. Linda was directed to send letters
to the property owners with landscaping around the hydrants
advising them of the situation and asking them to remove the
landscaping materials.
Linda was directed to notify the Crow River News that their
newspaper boxes are in danger of being damaged or destroyed during
snowplowing.

violators of the ordinance's requirements.

1992, and prepared by Meyer-Rohlin, Inc. Bids will be

Couri explained the developers of Westwind Third Addition are
requesting final plat approval, contingent upon approval of MPCA
for sanitary sewer extension, and subject to a Developer's
Agreement. The hardshells are not yet available for Westwind Third

this addition and another engineering firm is still in the process
of completing the hardshell. The final plat will have a detention
pond on the property and on the developer's undeveloped land. The
detention pond will remain the property of the owner, not the City.

Third Addition, contingent upon the developer providing the
hardshell and signing a developer's agreement. Barthel seconded
the motion. All voted aye.

project contact for the wastewater treatment expansion.

sewer interceptor (Improvement Project 1991-2) for Tuesday, October
27, 1992, at 7:00 PM. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.

and to begin drafting a new ordinance to comply with the new
requirements. The City has a grant from the state to pay 50% of
all reasonable expenses, or $5,000, whichever is less, to make the
ordinance changes.
Ralph Ackerman has told the clerk that he is in the process
of getting bids to construct a new building for his kennels. The
cost of remodeling his existing barn is too prohibitive. A meeting
has been set up with Ackerman to discuss how he will comply on
September 15.
Couri has drafted a quit claim deed for the vacation of the
property for Security Bank Northwest that reserves an easement over
underground utilities.

Council will attempt to determine the additional costs to the
average building if the amendment is approved.

approximately $250 per year and a one time application fee of $150
if necessary. Berning seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Linda and Thore were directed to send a letter to Burlington
Northern Railroad concerning the safety problems and the drainage
problems created by the culvert under the tracks north of Sunrise
Commercial Park. The Council agreed that until the drainage
problem is corrected, Andy Savitiski will be permitted to have a
partially blacktopped parking lot or a gravel parking lot, if he
chooses, for his new building in the Sunrise Commercial Park.

Albertville City Hall 7:30 PM
PRESENT: Mayor Jim Walsh, Councilmen Mike Potter, Duane
Berning, Donatus Vetsch and Mark Barthel, City Engineers Thore
Meyer and Norm Gartner, City Attorneys Mike Couri and Bill
Radzwill, City Clerk Linda Houghton
Mayor Walsh called the regular meeting of the Albertville City
Council to order.
The agenda was amended under the Engineering Department
business by adding the letter dated August 14, 1992, from Doug and
Beatrice Psyk and under the Legal Department by adding the
developer's agreement for the Barthel Commercial Park and the
release of information on the prior closed meetings. Potter made
a motion to approve the agenda as amended. Vetsch seconded the
motion. All voted aye.
Barthel made a motion to approve the follow-up sheet from the
August 3, 1992, meeting with the request that items not completed
from prior sheets be added to the follow-up sheet until they have
been completed. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Barthel made a motion to approve the minutes of the August 3,
1992 meeting as presented. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted
aye.
The minutes of the August 10, 1992 special meeting were
amended on Page 3, Paragraph 1, to read "Vetsch, Potter, Barthel,
and Walsh voted aye". Barthel made a motion to approve the August
10, 1992, minutes as amended Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted
aye.
Vetsch questioned what steps Linda had taken with regard to
the civil defense sirens. Linda stated that she had contacted NSP
and that they must verify that the proposed location for the siren
falls within the 10 mile limit. If it does fall within the 10 mile
limit, NSP will pay the cost of the siren which is $15,000,
installation charges, and the $1,500 fee in order to hook into
Wright County's system. Albertville will have to pay $1,500 to
hook up the existing siren to Wright County. NSP is to contact
Linda with regard to updating her as to the status and findings of
this project.
Vetsch also questioned whether or not Linda had gotten back
to the school regarding their request for a breakdown of permit fee
charges per the July 6, 1992, meeting. She stated that she had
compiled the information but has not yet written the letter to
them. Walsh requested that Linda copy the Council on that letter.
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
August 17, 1992
Page 2 of 9
Berning questioned what information Linda had obtained with
regard to the freeway entrance light by Hack's Store. She stated
that the contact person was on vacation and she had been unable to
reach him.
Linda stated that she had contacted Rod Fraser with regard to
being a part of the Economic Development Committee and that he is
very interested, however, he does not want to Chair the Committee.
He has given her the names of others who may be interested in
joining also. Fraser also suggested that Albertville contact St.
Michael to see if they would be interested in making this a joint
effort.
Linda made a correction to the financial statement. Mike's
check should be #6656 and Federal should be #6657.
Mayor Walsh presented $100 savings bonds to the Albertville
Royalty: Miss Albertville Keri Roden; Princesses Amy Marx and
Heidi Middleton; Miss Congeniality Sara Wolf; and Junior Royalty
Angela Bebeau and Adam Roden. +
Tim Barthel and Bob Swenson were not in attendance to request
permission to maintain the street easement between their
properties. Since they had attended a Planning Commission meeting
to make the request, the Council directed Linda to check with the
insurance agent to determine if there would be any City liability
and to have the parties sign a waiver of any claim to the
maintained property.
Barthel and Swenson were also concerned with the speed limit
situation on Main Avenue near 50th Street. Main Avenue is a County
Road and Barthel and Swenson should contact the County with their
concerns. Walsh stated that there should be a 3 way stop at the
corner of Main Avenue and 50th Street. Linda stated that a letter
to that effect has been sent to the county and she will follow up
on it.
There was no one else was present with a request to address
the Council under Community Forum.
Linda summarized the report on contract snowplowing which was
included in the agenda packets. Neither Pioneer Blacktop nor T &
S Trucking were interested in doing the work for Albertville. It
is assumed that Dennis Fehn is not interested either since he did
not return any of the three calls placed to him. St. Michael paid
$28,422.64 for contracted snow plowing last season. Albertville
paid $12,055.34 for the last snow plowing season. These figures
do not include depreciation or a portion of the new tires for the
pick up truck. Vetsch stated that he would like to advertise in
the paper for contract snowplowing proposals. Berning questioned
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
August 17, 1992
Page 3 of 9
accuracy of St. Michael having 10 miles of streets as compared to
Albertville's 14 miles. Vetsch requested that Meyer will compute
the number of miles of streets based on the scale on the City map.
The manhole that houses the flow meter still gets some water
seepage. Lindsay has contacted Gartner. A new cap has been put
on but it does not seem to work. Lindsay told Linda that he and
Gartner feel_ they have worked out a way to fix it. Meyer will also
check with the contractor again.
Walsh stated that he feels all new businesses which open in
the city should receive some sort of acknowledgement from the City.
Thore Meyer presented the Feasibility Study for Psyk's 5th
Addition. Sanitary sewer will have to be extended to Lambert
Avenue NE. Water main will connect with existing main in 4th
Addition. Service leads will be extended out to 10' beyond the
right-of-way. City will have to go back to MPCA for approval of
construction of sanitary sewer extension to Lambert Avenue. Storm
sewer will be sized to serve not only the 5th Addition, but also
a portion of the 6th Addition and a lot of his currently
undeveloped land, keeping future development in mind. Streets are
36' curb -to -curb width with 3" bituminous, 12" gravel base, which
conforms to City standards. Estimated cost for this project is as
follows:
Sanitary sewer $21,500
Water main 46,000
Storm water 53,200
Streets 112,400
233,100
Engineering &
contingencies 46,200
PROJECT TOTAL $279,800
The estimated project cost does not include any bonding fees,
financing costs, legal fees, administrative, recording, or easement
acquisition costs.
Vetsch inquired if density tests would be required for the
water main or sewer leads going to the property line. Meyer stated
that this issue is addressed in the back of the report.
Potter stated that he will abstain from voting on this issue
due to possible conflict of interest.
Meyer stated that all of the project costs become fully
assessable 'to the developer. He further stated that the
requirements on the density tests are 100% compaction of the first
3 feet and 98% compaction on the balance. This pertains to
everything that gets backfilled.

Walsh requested that Linda furnish the Council with a
procedural format which would aid the Council with regard to what
steps the Council should follow when approving development. The
format is to begin with the developer's initial request and include
all steps through the final phase of approval of building permit.
He further requested that this be provided to the Council as soon
as possible.
Berning stated that he is opposing this because he feels the
engineer is playing a dual role in that he is working for both the
developer and for the City.
Vetsch made a motion to approve the Feasibility Study for
Psyk's 5th Addition. Barthel seconded the motion. Berning voted
in the negative. Potter abstained. Vetsch, Barthel, and Walsh
voted aye. The motion carried.
Barthel made a motion to order plans and specs for the 1992-
3 Improvement Project for Psyk's 5th Addition with the stipulation
that there be a signed Developer's Agreement and that the City not
be held liable for any of the costs incurred thus far due to any
action by the MPCA. The motion was seconded by Vetsch. Potter
abstained from voting. Berning voted no. Vetsch, Barthel, and
Walsh voted aye and the motion carried.
The Developer's Agreement will be submitted to the Council at
the September 8, 1992, meeting.
Meyer stated that he and Vetsch toured the City last week in
order to identify which curbs are in need of repair. There is a
total of 634', possibly more, which need to be repaired. They
obtained three quotes on repairing these curbs. Maple Lake bid
$8.25/foot for a project total of $5,230.50, NE Minneapolis bid
$5.00/foot for a project total of $3,170, and Savage bid $3.50/foot
for a total project cost of $2,219. Meyer explained that this is
a mud jacking operation for raising the curbs. Meyer will check
the references of the bidder from Savage. This is routine
maintenance and requires no Council action.
The Council addressed the issue of the 50th Street improvement
project. The City Attorney has highly recommended that the Council
obtain an appraisal to make sure that the project is economically
feasible prior to making any final decisions. Tom Haller stated
that the Council agreed at the public hearing to have an appraisal
done. Walsh stated that he wants to see, in writing, that 100° of
the residents of 50th Street, not just Tom Haller, have asked to
have the appraisal done and are wi 1' ing to pay for that appraisal.
Haller suggested that Alberi-villa assess in the same fashion as
Frankfort Township is proposing, which is that Frankfort will
assess not only the abutting property owners, but also the non -
County Assessor has put a value on the raw land.

abutting property owners in Berningwood. Radzwill stated that
there could be some real problems in assessing non -abutting
property owners and he is not in favor of doing so. Radzwill
suggested that Haller get the 50th Street residents to sign a
petition requesting that the City have an appraisal done, within
specified parameters, accompanied by a cash deposit, and stating
that they are willing to pay for the cost of the appraisal.
Berning made a motion to re -open the public hearing for
discussion of the 50th Street improvement on Monday, September 14,
1992, at 7:30 PM. The motion was seconded by Potter. All voted
aye. Linda was directed to publish notice of said meeting.
The Council addressed a letter from Doug and Beatrice Psyk,
dated August 14, 1992, regarding the easement procedure during
construction of new sewer trunk line. Meyer stated that the line
was moved at the request of Joint Powers. Potter recommended that
should any future revisions be needed on any project, notice is to
be sent to all Council members. Radzwill agreed with Vetsch that
Meyer & Psyk work out the solution to this easement problem prior
to the next Council meeting. Psyk feels strongly that some sort
of compensation in order.
Meyer stated that the weeds have been cut in Parksedge
Addition. They are also reshaping some of the bunkers along
Barthel Industrial Drive and will reseed all areas that are not
growing. Linda was directed to check the minutes of previous
meetings regarding who is responsible for the construction and cost
of the retaining wall in the Barthel Manor Addition.
Bernard Marx questioned the status of the drainage easement
as it pertains to the Jim Hennum property. Linda stated that she
had sent a letter to Hennum but has received no response to date.
Walsh stated that the City should calculate what the next step
should he.
Couri presented a summary of the Developer's Contract,ao`_
?. dated yugust 17, 1992. He stated. that with the exception
three points which the Barthels wish to discuss with the Council,
they are in agreement with the contract terms. The points which
need to be addressed are:
1. Park dedication fees for commercial properties are based
on 5% land or 50 of fair market value of the raw land zoned
as commercial. Property must be appraised. Couri suggests
that Barthel's put down $500 as the estimated park dedication
fee, said fee to be adjusted after the county assessor
reassesses ill
thent land. amount of the spa k ededication ed that efee ouncil w
after the
determine
County Assessor has put a value on the raw land.
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
August 17, 1992
Page 6 of 9
Walsh suggested that the Planning Commission look at the
ordinance regarding park dedication fees or. commercial land and
reword the current ordinance.
2. Couri stated that the variance was not granted with regard
to deletion of interior curbing in the parking area. This
must go back to the Planning Commission and they have to amend
the minutes of the meeting at which this was discussed, if in
fact the variance was granted. Haller and Vetsch stated that
they think this was agreed upon, but not specifically stated
in the motion. Radzwill stated that this issue does not have
to go back to the Planning Commissioner, that the Commission
members can sign off of the amendment to the minutes.
3. Linda stated that the legal and engineering fees which
have been charged against the Barthel project total $1,981 to
date. Barthel's feel that part of the legal fees they are
being charged include an ordinance change and should not be
charged to this project. Barthel suggested that the attorneys
go through their billing and let the City know exactly what
is charged against this project.
Potter made a motion to approve the Developer's Agreement with
the stipulation that this was, fact, approved through the
Planning Commission. Barthel seconded the motion. A'_1 voted aye.
Couri informed t'_ze Co11nci1 that the I.R.S. requires all
municipalities to pass a resolution authorizing the City Clerk to
keep track of all costs related to bonding. '�t new resolution must
be passed for every project which is to be bonded. Walsh requested
that this be put on the agenda for review and discussion at the
next Council meeting.
Couri released specific information relating to the matters
discussed in the closed meetings. The City authorized Radzwill's
office to accept a settlement from Juran and Moody in the amount
of $3,800 for excessive fees charged relating to refunds on
improvement bonds for Sunrise Commercial Park.
Potter made a motion to recess the meeting for 10 minutes.
The motion was seconded by Barthel. All voted aye.
Information relating to the closed meetings was made available
to interested parties.
Couri presented a synopsis of the closed meetings and stated
that the Council decided to settle with Juran and Moody regarding
the fees charged on the Sunrise CommP_-c- a'_ Park and refl:ndi ng bonds
of j�BR, The City has also agreed to release Juran and Mood: from
the fees portion of the bonds, not f---cm any other porti^ns of the

part. The City decided to sever all ties with Juran and Moody
immediately.
The other issues addressed in the closed meetings were
relative to fines and penalties charged to the City by the I.R.S.
on certain matters which had not been attended to. The City
considered making a claim on their errors and omissions insurance
regarding these matters. The City also considered the possibility
of proceeding with legal action against any of the former City
administration relating to these same issues. Based on
recommendations by the City Attorney, the Council decided not to
Proceed with an: further legal action against either the former
Cit. Administrator o- the former- ^ity Council.
Laurie Winters of The Crow River Flews questioned exactly what
amount of money was spent on legal fees relative to these issue.
The Council directed Linda to provide that figure to Winters.
Radzwill stated that most of the legal fees involved were
corrective in nature, i.e. recording, finishing, compiling, rather
than investigation.
Haller suggested that the Council send another letter to the
citizens of Albertville to explain exactly what has happened during
the closed meetings.

CITY OF ALBERTVILLE, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION NO.
DECLARING THE OFFICIAL INTENT OF THE CITY OF
ALBERTVILLE TO REIMBURSE CERTAIN EXPENDITURES
FROM THE PROCEEDS OF BONDS TO BE ISSUED BY THE CITY
WHEREAS, the Internal Revenue Service has issued Tres. Reg.
Sec. 1.103-18 providing that proceeds of tax-exempt bonds used to
reimburse prior expenditures will not be deemed spent unless
certain requirements are met; and
WHEREAS, the City expects to incur certain expenditures which
may be financed temporarily from sources other than bonds, and
reimbursed from the proceeds of a bond; and
WHEREAS, the reimbursement rules apply to bonds issued after
March 2, 1992;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ALBERTVILLE (THE "CITY") AS FOLLOWS:

project described in Exhibit A (the "Project"), and reasonably
intends to reimburse itself for such expenditures from the proceeds
of debt to be issued by the City in the maximum principal amount
described in Exhibit A.
2. The City Clerk is authorized to designate appropriate
additions to Exhibit A in circumstances where time is of the
essence, and any such designation shall be reported to the Council

3. The resolution shall be maintained as part of the books
and records of the City at the main administrative office of the

expenditures described in Exhibit A.
4. This resolution is an expression of the reasonable
expectations of the City based on the facts and circumstances known
to the City as the date hereof. The anticipated reimbursements set
forth at Exhibit A are consistent with the City's budgetary and
financial circumstances. No sources other than proceeds of bonds
to be issued by the City are, or are reasonably expected to be,
reserved, allocated on a long-term basis, or otherwise set aside
pursuant to the City's budget or financial policies to pay such
Project expenditures. The City has not adopted any allocation,
budget, or restriction of moneys or adoption of a requirement or
policy to reimburse a fund, the primary purpose of which is to
prevent moneys from being available to pay an expenditure the City
intends to reimburse with proceeds of a borrowing.
5. This resolution is intended to constitute a declaration
of official intent for purposes of Tres. Reg. Sec 1.103-18 and any
successor law, regulation, or ruling.
6. The allocation of proceeds of the bonds to be issued to
any Project expenditures described in Exhibit A will be made not

expenditures described in Exhibit A will be deemed spent only when

with respect to the bonds;' (2) the entry identifies an actual
expenditure to be reimbursed, or where the Project is described as
a fund or account, the fund or account from which the expenditure
was paid; and (3) the allocation is effective to relieve the bond
proceeds from restrictions on unspent proceeds under applicable
documents and state laws.
9. No entity or entities possess simultaneously two or more
of the following discretionary and non -ministerial powers with
respect to the City: power to (1) remove without cause a
controlling portion of the City Council; (2) select, approve, or
disapprove a controlling portion of the City Council; (3) determine
the City's budget or require the use of the City's funds or assets
for the other entity's purpose; or (4) approve, disapprove, or
prevent the issuance of debt obligations of the City.
10. None of the proceeds of the bonds issued to reimburse the
City for the Project expenditures described in Exhibit A will be
used within one year of the allocation (i) to refund another
governmental obligation or (ii) to create or increase the balance
in a sinking fund or replace funds used for such purpose, or (iii)
to create or increase the balance in a reserve or replacement fund
or replace funds used for such purposes; or will be used at any
time to reimburse any person or entity (other than the City) for
expenditures originally paid with the proceeds of a City obligation
(excluding a City inter -fund borrowing); unless (i) such amounts
are deposited in a bona fide debt service fund or are used to pay
debt service in the next one-year period on any City obligation
other than the reimbursement bond, or (ii) the original issue was
not reasonably expected to be used to finance the expenditure.
11. No action or inaction by the City with respect to the
allocation of bond proceeds to reimbursement of Project
expenditures will be an artifice or device to avoid, in whole or in
part, arbitrage yield restrictions or arbitrage rebate
requirements.
12. The procedures described in this resolution shall cease
to apply to the extent not required by Tres. Reg. Sec. 1.103-18 or
any successor law, regulation, or ruling.

AUGUST 25, 1992
ALBERTVILLE CITY HALL 7:00 PM
COMMISSION MEMBERS PRESENT: Tom Haller, Donatus Vetsch, LeRoy
Berning, Building Inspector Kevin Mealhouse, and Secretary Ann
Culley.
Chairman Haller called the meeting to order at 7:12 PM.
Vetsch made a motion to amend the agenda to include the motion
made by Berning at the July 14, 1992 meeting regarding final plat
approval for Barthel Commercial Park. Haller seconded the motion.
All voted aye.
Building Inspector Kevin Mealhouse was present and Berning
asked him to clarify a possible change to zoning ordinance # 1000.4
(1) (2) regarding facing on pole buildings as it pertains to the
public hearing which was held on August 11, 1992. Berning made a
motion to further amend the agenda to include discussion of this
matter. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Vetsch made a motion to approve the amended agenda. Berning
seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Berning made a motion to approve the minutes of the August 11,
1992 meeting. The motion was seconded by Vetsch. All voted aye.
Mealhouse explained to the Commission that the change to
zoning ordinance # 1000.4 ( i ) ( 2 ) would require that pole buildings
be made to look more aesthetically pleasing by adding finishing
materials other than steel to the exterior of the buildings.
Berning made a motion to recommend that the City Council
approve changing zoning ordinance # 1000.4 (i) (2) to include the
following:
50% of the entire front of the building will be of
material other than steel. 25% of the wall height, from
final grade to the bottom of the eave, will be of
material other than steel.
Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.
The Commission addressed a letter from Mealhouse regarding a
building permit which was issued to B. Roden for a 360 sq. ft.
addition to the existing 427.5 sq. ft. garage. The site plan which
was submitted to the City failed to show an existing accessory
building which is located in the rear yard of the property. In
light of the information which was provided, a building permit was
issued. Upon inspection of the property at 5953 LaBeaux Avenue,
Mealhouse noted the existing accessory building which is 384 sq.
ft. Roden is now in non-compliance with City Ordinance in that she
exceeds the maximum square footage allowed. Mealhouse outlined the
options open to abate this zoning violation. They are as follows:
PLANNING COMMISSION - 8/25/92
Page 2
1. Remove the new addition to the existing garage.
2. Remove the existing accessory building.
3. Grant a conditional use permit as outlined in Sec. 1000.4
(5) and Sec. 400 of the zoning ordinance.
Mealhouse recommends that the City address the conditional use
permit option.
Berning made a motion to recommend that the City Council
direct the City Clerk to contact Mrs. Roden informing her of the
ordinance violation and making her aware of the requirements for
making application for a Conditional Use Permit. Haller seconded
the motion. All voted aye.
It was discussed that all Variances and Conditional Use
Permits are to be recorded with the County but that the City had no
way of knowing whether or not the property owner had done so.
Berning made a motion to recommend that the City Council
require that a fee of $15.00 be included with each request for
Variance or Conditional Use Permit, said monies to be used to cover
the recording fees. The City would then record all Variances and
Conditional Use Permits with the County. The motion was seconded
by Vetsch. All voted aye.
Berning made a motion to amend the minutes of the July 14,
1992, meeting to clarify his motion regarding final plat approval
for Barthel Commercial Park. Said motion to read:
1. Variance to allow crushed rock instead of blacktop in
the driveway area and to allow no curbing to be required
until the second building is erected. Upon erection of
said second building, both blacktop and curbs will be
required in the driveway area.
The motion was seconded by Vetsch. All voted aye.
Vetsch made a motion to recommend that the Council appoint
Howard Larson to the Planning Commission. Said appointment to fill
the vacancy left by the resignation of Tim Phillips. Berning
seconded the motion. All voted aye.
The Commission requested that Culley contact Laurie Winters of
the Crow River News and request that she once again run an article
stating that Albertville is requesting applications for the
Planning Commission in order to fill the vacancy left by the
resignation of Rick Bishop. They feel it is important to mention
that residential, commercial, and business property owners are
welcome to apply.
PLANNING COMMISSION - 8/25/92

MEMO: City of Albertville Planning Commision Members.
FROM: Kevin Mealhouse Building Official
DATE: Aug. 12, 1992
RE: B. Roden property, 5953 La Beaux Ave. N.E.
On June 6, 1992 a building permit application was submitted for the
above referenced property. The permit was for a 16'x22.5' (360 sq.
ft.) addition to the existing 19'x22.5' (427.5 sq.ft.) garage. In
reviewing the submitted building plans I found that the total square
footage of the garage would be 787.5 sq. ft.. The site plan submitted
showed the existing house and attached garage and the proposed
addition to the garage, however it did not include the existing
accessory building located in the rear yard of the property. Had the
site plan showed the accessory building the permit would not have
been issued unless a conditional use permit were granted from the
city. The existing accessory building is pole type construction and
is 16'x24' (384 sq.ft.) which is 234 sq. ft. over the max. square
footage allowed by the zoning ordinance.Total square footage of
garage with new addition and accessory building is 1168.5 square
feet. Therefor the city must consider one the following three options
to abate this zoning violation.
1.) Remove the new addition to the existing garage.
2.) Remove the existing accessory building.
3.) Grant the property a conditional use permit as outlined in
sec.1000.4 (5) and sec. 400 of the zoning ordinance.

Re: Truth -in -Taxation Hearings - Payable 1993
As required by the Truth in Taxation legislation, we are notifying you that the
Wright County Public Hearing date has been set as follows:
Date: December 8, 1992
Time: 7:00 P.M.
Place: Commissioners Board Room
Wright Co. Government Center
and will reconvene, if necessary, on December 15, 1992 at 7:00 P.M.
Attached is a listing of hearing dates, as set by the Wright County area School
Districts. We are requesting that you now set the City's date and time for your
public hearing and for a reconvened hearing, if needed.
The dates selected for initial hearings, and for continuation hearings if
necessary, must all fall within the time period of November 29, 1992 through December
20, 1992 (effectively November 30 through December 21 this year, since both November
29, 1992 and December 20, 1992 fall on a Sunday).
The continuation hearing date selected must be at least 5 business days after the
initial hearing date but no more than 14 business days after the initial public
hearing. The last day that a continuation hearing may be held is December 20, 1992
(effectively December 21 this year). If a December 21, 1992 date is selected for a
continuation hearing, the initial hearing could be held no later than December 14,
1992. Only one continuation hearing date is allowed.
As directed by the MN Department of Revenue, we are asking you to certify to us
in writing, on or before September 15, 1992 the dates, time, and location you selected
for your hearings and your proposed tax levy for payable 1993 taxes. The final
adopted property taxes are to be certified to us on or before 5 business days after
December 20, 1992." As you are aware, these hearing dates must not conflict with
the hearing dates of the County or of the School District(s) in which the City is
located.
If you have any questions, please call 682-7578.

City of Albertville
Enclosed please find a repair bill for my 1987 Buick. Larry at Miller
Chev in Rogers said these repairs would not normally be made to this
vehicle under NORMAL wear and tear. However, given the condition of
the CITY street I Iive on, I am suggesting the city reimburse me for
these repairs. At least I am giving you the opportunity to reimburse
before I call my attorney.
I am sick to death of this political game you are playing. I pay city
taxes, I was told 50th street cost the city so much to maintain, now
I find out Frankfort has never even billed Albertville for grading. Is
this why we have the road condition we have now? Because Albertville
is not using my taxes to pay Frankfort for a grader????? If this is truly
the case where are our taxes going?? I don't drive on 51st street either,
nor Lander Ave nor many of the other streets in this CITY but I seem to
have to pay for the maintenance of these streets.
Now 50th street is really cute, RUTS, DUST, AND NOW THE SIGN
"Low Maintenance Road, Drive at Your Own Risk". Does the City like this????
I sincerely hope you people, Mayor and Council are getting a big laugh,
because I certainly do not find anything funny about this.
I expect an answer regarding my repair bill and where my taxes are going
within one week. I am damn tired of this, 10 years I've played by your rules,
listened to your lies, and trusted in this FAIR CITY.
