PLANNING & ZONING
March 14, 1995
Albertville City Hall 7:00 PM
PRESENT: Chair LeRoy Berning, Commission Members Donatus
Vetsch, Howard Larson and Sharon Anderson, Zoning Administrator
Garrison Hale, Deputy Zoning Administrator Linda Houghton
Chair Berning called the regular meeting of the Planning
Commission to order.
Larson made a motion to approve the agenda. Anderson seconded
the motion. All voted aye.
Chair Berning opened the public hearing to consider the
request from Simonson Lumber to rezone Lots 1, 2, and 3, Sunrise
Commercial Park and Lot 1, Block 1, Barthel Commercial Park from 3-
3 (Highway Commercial District) to B-W (Business Warehousing
District). Elroy Eull, representing Simonson Lumber, explained
that, due to uncertainties over the exact realignment of County
Road 37, all plats and plans have been withdrawn at this time, but
he wishes to rezone the property at this time because Simonson has
bought the properties and will be relocating to this site later in
the year.
Chair Berning called for public comment. There was none.
Anderson made a motion to close the public hearing. Vetsch
seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Anderson made a motion to recommend that the City Ccuncii
approve the request from Simonson Lumber to rezone Lots 1, 2, and
3, Sunrise Commercial Park and Lot 1, Block 2, Barthel Commercial
Park from B-3 to B-W. Larson seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Chair Berning opened the public hearing to consider
preliminary plat approval for the property to be platted as
Meadowview.
Engineer Norm Gartner explained the proposed plat has 25 units
on 17 lots. The total area of the plat has been increased from 5.8
acres to 9+ acres. There are eight double units and nine single
units proposed. All requirements of the Zoning ordinance in regard
to lot size, setbacks, and impervious surface coverage have been
met, with the exception of one variance being required for an 82'
front footage on Lot 1, Block 1. Gartner further explained that it
was impossible to meet the radial requirement on one of the lots on
the west end of the property because of the configuration of the
street. Gartner requested that the watermain on Meadow Lane be
downsized to a six-inch pipe from the engineer's recommendation
that the main be eight inch.
PLANNING COMMISSION
March 14, 1995
Page 2 of
Berning questioned whether the plat had been approved
regarding the wetlands. Gartner explained that if preliminary plat,
is granted, a wetland plan must be submitted to the Local
Government Unit for approval and a permit must be secured.
Doug Psyk would prefer that all single units abut the Psyk's
6th Addition. Lots 2 and 3, Block 2 are both shown as having twin
homes.
Gartner stated that all double unit lots will be subdivided to
create zero lot lines so that each unit of the twin home can be
sold separately. Developer Tim Backes stated that he would change
Lot 2, Block 2 into a single unit building and sacrifice the one
unit since the lot directly abuts an existing single family house
in the Psyk's 6th Addition.
Carolyn Bauer (11422 54 1/2 Street NE) had several questions.
She asked if the Corps of Engineers had been contacted at this
point. She thinks the units on the north side of the street may
have water problems in the backyard. Gartner stated the Corps has
not yet been contacted.
Bauer questioned whether an association would be created for
maintenance, etc. Backes stated that there indeed would be an
association established in compliance with state law.
Bauer also asked if there would be a separate public hearing
on the retaining wall shown on the preliminary plat. She is
concerned that the drainage on the neighboring property may be
impacted. There will be no public hearing conducted other than the
hearing in progress regarding the retaining wall.
Bauer also stated that she believes the plat is as acceptable
as it is going to be.
Jim Zachman is opposed to the one twin home on the south side
of Meadow Lane. Gartner suggested that additional screening will
help to create a buffer between the single family lot and the twin
house.
Dan Robertus explained that he had attended the staff meeting
on this plat and had questioned the street layout. At first he
stated he would prefer a cul-de-sac instead of the street
intersecting with Lander Avenue. However, the planner indicated
that, design would generate more traffic on 54 1/2th Street.
Robertus feels the design that minimized traffic on 54 1/2 Street
was far better.
PLANNING COMMISSION

Scott Johnson questioned what the association fees would
cover. Backes stated the association fees will pay for insurance,
lawn care and snow removal.
Gartner told the Commission that Backes is requesting that the
Developer's Agreement state that if the market does not bear twin
houses, he will request that the zero lot lines be eliminated on
the double lots in order to construct single family homes on those
lots.
Carolyn Bauer questioned how the street was named. Gartner
explained that since the property actually lies between 54th and
55th Streets and the City already has a 54 1/2 Street, the City
Engineer prefers that the street be named something other than a
number.
Scott Johnson questioned whether the variance would be
approved automatically with the plat. Chair Berning explained that
the variance will be essential at some point in time because of the
existing layout, but there will be a separate public hearing
following this one if preliminary platting is approved.
Backes agrees to add four additional trees (2 elm, maple, or
such and two spruce) to the rear yard of Lot 3, Block 3 for
additional screening.
Larson made a motion to close the public hearing. Anderson
seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Vetsch :jade a motion to recoli mend that tie nifty nv^LlriC L- grant
preliminary plat approval for the Meadowview Addition contingent
upon the following:
(1) Lot 2, Block 2 will be a single unit.
(2) The lot line between Lot 2 and Lot 3, Block 2 will be
adjusted.
(3) Two deciduous and two spruce trees will be planted in the
rear yard of Lot 3, Block 3.
(4) The plat meets all requirements in the planner's report
dated February 28, 1995, and all requirements in the engineer's
report dated February 27, 1995.
(5) An association agreement will be established which
complies with state statute.
(6) Twin homes will have zero lot lines but the Developer's
Agreement will state that lot consolidation of the twin home lots
may be requested by the developer if the market is not conducive to
the sale of twin homes and the lots may become single units.
(7) The developer will sign a Developer's Agreement with the
City.
Anderson seconded the motion. All voted aye.
PLANNING COMMISSION
March 14, 1995
Page 4 of 4
Chair Berning opened the public hearing to consider a variance
from the minimum front footage requirement for Lot 1, Block 1 of
eight feet.
Because of the existing layout of the existing lots, Lot 1,
Block 1 is proposed to be eight feet less than the minimum frontage
requirement of 90 feet (82 feet). The lot still meets the minimum
size requirement of 12,500 feet.
Chair Berning asked for public comment. There was none.
Larson made a motion to close the public hearing. Vetsch
seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Larson made a motion to recommend the City Council grant the
variance from the front footage requirement as requested to 82 feet
from the 90 foot frontage requirement. Anderson seconded the
motion. All voted aye.
Hale presented information to the Commission regarding the
priorities established in the Visioning Session. Both the Comp
Plan and the Zoning Ordinance will need to be updated.
Hale informed the Commission of several new plats that will be
presented to the City in the near future.
The commission reveiwed the Development Review Schedule.
Hale has scheduled a Planning Seminar meeting for March 28th
at 7:00 PM with the Planning Commission, the City Council, and the
EDA. The purpose of the seminar is to discuss the Comp Plan/Zoning
Ordinance, the role of the Planning Commission, and the processing
of applications for any and all planning items.
Zoning Administrator Hale also acknolwdged interest by two
city residents to serve on the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Chair Berning requested that Hale find out when the present terms
of the Commission expire. Berning further suggested it may be time
for some new ideas at the Planning & Zoning Commission.
Larson made a motion to adjourn at 9:50 PM. Anderson seconded
the motion. All voted aye.
