The Council postponed discussion of the Concept Plan Agreement
Ofor the Sylvester Kolles property until the city attorney is
present.

work with the School Board to create a park and a storm water
retention pond on the school -owned field behind the primary school
to correct the drainage problems in the area.
Muyres made a motion directing Mayor Potter to discuss the
issue of drainage and the City Engineer's recommendations for
correcting the problem with the School Board. Berning seconded the
motion. All voted aye.
The Council postponed discussion of the Parkside 3rd Addition
Grading Permit Letter of Credit until the attorney arrives.
City Engineer Carlson will have plans and specs for the North
Frontage Road Sanitary Sewer Extension ready for the July 15, 1996,
special meeting.
City Attorney Couri reviewed the Concept Plan Agreement with

approve the Concept Plan Agreement as presented, contingent upon
the engineer's approval. Muyres seconded the motion. All voted
aye.
The Council discussed the Parkside 3rd Addition Grading Permit
and the appropriate letter of credit necessary to be held as
surety. Kent Roessler proposes to allow the letter of credit in
the amount of $21,450 still held by the City for Parkside 1st and
2nd Additions for the grading permit surety. City Engineer Pete
Carlson has recommended that the surety be in the amount of
$50,000. Roessler believes a $50,000 letter of credit is
excessive, but he will provide that amount.
Don Jensen, Development Director for Kenco Construction, has
proposed using a combination of a letter of credit to cover city's
expenses in the Parkside 3rd Addition and bond to cover the actual
construction and installation portions of the development. City
Attorney Couri stated that bonds are "developer friendly" but he
doesn't see the benefit to the City to use bonds. Collecting on
bonds is more difficult that drawing on a letter of credit.
Jensen also discussed Kenco's desire to obtain building
permits for three model homes in the Parkside 3rd Addition before
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
July 1, 1996
Page 4 of 6
the curb, gutter and street is completed. The homes would be
constructed on lots accessible to the existing gravel farm road.
The homes will be designed and constructed with a 5% slope to the
curb elevation to ensure that there is adequate slope after the
curb is installed. City Attorney Couri indicated that a separate
agreement should be drafted if the Council allows early
construction. Councilmember Vetsch is opposed to allowing building
permits to be issued prior to installation of the curb.
Muyres made a motion to approve the Grading Contract for the
Parkside 3rd Addition with a $50,000 letter of credit as surety,
and to direct the City engineer to draft an agreement allowing for
the early construction of three model homes in the Parkside 3rd
Addition. Potter seconded the motion. All voted aye.
The Council briefly discussed the letter of credit vs. bonding
for surety on the entire Parkside 3rd Addition. Councilmember
Muyres feels the Council may allow a combination of the two types
of sureties, provided the letter of credit covers the majority of
the project.
Engineer Carlson reviewed the North Frontage Road Sewer
Project and stated the main diameter could be increased from the 8"
proposed to serve a larger area. Potter made a motion to establish
a public hearing on the North Frontage Road Sanitary Sewer
Extension for July 24, 1996, at 7:30 PM at City Hall. Berning
seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Carlson reviewed the project update list with the Council.
The Council directed Carlson to include paving the shoulder of
50th Street to the high school in the bid letting for the 1996
Street Overlay Project.
Carlson was directed to provide a cost estimates for a
handrail on 50th Street for the 1997 budget process.
The Council discussed the complaint regarding mowing at the
City Park. City Administrator Hale was directed to send a letter
to the mowing contractor regarding the problem areas.
The Council discussed problems encountered during Friendly
City Days with alcohol in the streets and occupancy limits exceeded
in the bars. The Council discussed limiting bar hours, leaving
Main Avenue open to traffic, and fencing beer garden areas as
possible solutions to some of the problems.
The Council concurred to conducting a Clean -Up Day in the fall
and directed staff to contact St. Michael and Frankfort to see if
there is interest in participating.

ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
SPECIAL MEETING
June 17, 1996
Albertville City Hall 7:40 PM
PRESENT: Mayor Michael Potter (7:50 PM), Councilmembers Duane
Berning, Curt Muyres, and John Vetsch, City Planners Dave Licht and
Liz Stockman, City Attorney Mike Couri, City Engineer Pete Carlson
and City Clerk Linda Houghton
Acting Mayor Berning called the meeting to order.
Muyres made a motion to approve the agenda as presented.
Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.
The Council considered the recommendation of the Planning
Commission to grant STMA High School a variance from the Sign
Ordinance for a readerboard sign which exceeds the size limits of
the ordinance. Acting Mayor Berning asked the city planner for his
opinion on the variance request.
Planner Licht stated he is uncomfortable with granting a
variance until the sign ordinance has been reviewed and the City
has reached a decision on what type and sizes of signs are
acceptable.
Muyres made a motion to table the variance request from STMA
High School for the readerboard sign and to direct city staff
(planner) to proceed with reviewing and revising the Sign
Ordinance. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Mayor Potter arrived at the meeting at 7:50 PM.
Planner Liz Stockman reviewed the Comprehensive Plan Update as
recommended for approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Stockman informed the Council that two rezoning applications
have been received by the City. Center Oaks of Ham Lake, MN, has
applied to rezone property proposed as R-lA to R-1, and All -Metro
Builders has applied to rezone their property B-3 from the proposed
R-1 zone. The applications will be considered at public hearings
to be scheduled in July.
Kent Roessler asked the Council why an R-lA District is being
proposed. Planner Licht explained that in previous meetings and
interviews, City residents have expressed the desire to have "life
cycle" housing in the City, the need for larger lots suitable for
large houses with three car garages, and an increase in tax dollars
from more expensive homes to more nearly equal the cost of
providing services to residents.
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
June 17, 1996
Page 2 of 3
Roessler expressed the opinion that larger lots do not warrant
higher priced homes, but rather the amenities present in an area
encourage executive style homes. He feels that Albertville's
median income of approximately $42,000 is not sufficient to market
a large quantity of executive style homes.
Councilmember Vetsch further explained that most residents
want larger lots and more space between houses.
Licht reiterated that the lower density R1-A District was
created based on what the City had requested.
Howard Larson explained that a process of meetings with
residents and community leaders had resulted in the expressed need
for larger lots and lower density areas.
Roessler questioned why there were no transition zones between
the R1-A district and County Road 19, multi -family or current R-1
districts. Planner Liz Stockman stated that the area east of
County Road 19 zoned R-1 is the transition zone.
Roessler further stated that he has already conceptually
planned the area for low density (R-1), which conceptual plan was
based on the current Comp Plan calling for low density residential.
Roessler stated he is greatly affected by a decision to zone almost
all of his property R1-A and requested the Council reconsider and
allow for transitional R-1 zones.
Ernest Peake, Kenco's legal counsel, questioned whether the
Council is voting on a "wish list" and if the decision to zone
Roessler's property R1-A meets the criteria for legalities.
Licht reiterated that the Comp Plan was not developed on a
"whim" or "wish list".
City Attorney Couri advised the Council that the courts
generally back the City's Zoning Ordinance and Comp Plan if is
backed by some rational basis. Couri is confident that the R1-A
zone will not be considered "taking" by the courts, but rather as
a valid Comp Plan issue. Couri further added that there is a legal
process for landowners who wish to rezone their property.
Berning made a motion to adopt RESOLUTION #1996-45 approving
and adopting the Comprehensive Plan Update as recommended by
Albertville Planning Commission. Muyres seconded the motion. All
voted aye.

annexation/detachment petitions were received and the Council held
off until the City boundaries were established. Carlson informed
the Council that regardless of the status of the petitions, they
need to determine how far the service area reasonably can extend.
Carlson asked that the Council appoint a committee to meet with him
to define what the Urban Service Area boundaries should be.
Berning made a motion to appoint the Public works Committee to
meet with the city engineer to determine an Urban Service Area and
an expansion plan for the wastewater treatment facility and,
further, to appoint the Finance Committee to meet with Carlson at
the time financing an expansion needs to be considered. Anderson
seconded the motion. All voted aye.

mayor at 10:35 PM.

ALBERTVILLE WASTEWATER TREATHENT FACILITY
Monthly Report - May 1996
Executive Sun ArV:
During the month the Albertville Wastewater Treatment Facility did meet all
the requirements of the NPDES permit. The monthly average for total effluent
phosphorus was .7 mg/l. Influent flow to the Facility averaged .198 MGD
million gallons/day), Total Suspended Solids 388 mg/l and 169 mg/1
Carbonaceous Biochemical Oxygen Demand (CBOD). Effluent flows from the
Facility averaged .207 MGD, Total Suspended Solids 12.3 mg/l and 3.3 mg/l of
CBOD.
operations:
The polymer addition system has been taken off-line for the summer. The
polymer aids in the settling of the solids which carry phosphorus through the
clarifier. Due to the warmer temperatures and efficiency of the facility, the
polymer system should not need to be restarted until fall.
The staff is pleased to report the only difficulties encountered through the
month were seagulls. The loadings they create on Pond #3 could present
operational problems. With diligent effort the seagulls are being harassed
enough that the numbers have been decreasing and currently have left
(hopefully for the year).
Maintenance:
Listed below are all the major maintenance corrective actions for the month.
Routine preventative maintenance occurred during the month. Twelve
preventative work orders were issued for the month and all were closed leaving
none outstanding.
Safety:
Confined Space Entry procedures were reviewed by staff and calibration of the
portable gas monitor was performed.
Regulatory Communications:
The NPDES Report is attached.
Client / Public Relations:
Regular contact has been maintained with Garrison Hale and Mayor Potter
regarding plant operation and maintenance.
Comments on Project Status Report:
Financial performance reflects all activity in the budget year. Financial
data reflecting Houston accounting does not include $497.85 of April bills
paid in May.
The Contract Status Report shows a total contract variance of ($2,597). The
total of all year to date accruals is ($5,000) from: commitment accrual
($2,000), electrical accrual ($1,000), collection system accrual ($2,000). The
total of all bills paid for the month but not reflected on the Contract Status

DATE:JUNE 26, 1996

Below is a status update on various projects pending in the
City of Albertville:
1. Highway 37/19--The appraiser is currently working on both the
condemnation appraisal and the assessment appraisal. Figures
are expected back by July 19th. The "public purpose" hearing
before the Wright County Court is scheduled for 9 a.m. on July
1.9th (I expect the Court to approve the project as in the
;public's interest --this clears the way for the city to take
,possession of the land in early August). The County Highway
!Department has furnished drawings showing where John George,
Inc.'s entrances and exits will be, and they are finishing a
'second right of way plat detailing additional acreage that
John George will be donating to the City. Once available,
this document will be attached to the agreement with John
George and signed by all parties.
2. Parkside III --A draft of the Developer's Agreement has been
completed, reviewed by the city planner and engineer, and
;discussed with Kenco. Kenco will be grading the property
:shortly under a permit issued by the City (after posting
,adequate security). The final version of the Developer's
agreement cannot be prepared until the City adopts its urban
:service area and the accompanying trunk charge ordinance, as
sthe City will reimburse the Developer under the Developer's
,Agreement according to the trunk charges paid under the
ordinance.
3. MLDCO--The City has paid to have the grading done properly
lafter the Developer refused to correct the grade as required
by the City. The City will be drawing on the Developer's
.'letter of credit shortly to reimburse itself for the money
'expended in getting the grading done properly, including
;professional fees.
4. Little Xountain Development --See proposed concept plan
iagreement.
3. JMJ Proposed Retail Development --A letter detailing all City
fees and costs of development (i.e. SAC fees, building permit

.fees, etc.) was sent to JMJ. At this point we are waiting for
JMJ to submit a development proposal to the City.
6. �esoning--The recent ruling by the Wright County District
jCourt reversing the order of the Municipal Board effectively
itook Kenco's property and the D'Aigle property and returned
them to Otsego. If the Municipal Board re -annexes the
;properties to Albertville, they will come in zoned
Agricultural, not R1-A, which was the zoning recently assigned
to the property by the City.
7. (Ide Hockey Arenst--I have briefly reviewed Elk Rivers ice
arena agreement. Under that agreement, Elk River owns the
arena. Under the agreement proposed by the STMA Hockey group,
Albertville would also own its arena. With ownership comes
every significant responsibilities, including insuring,
staffing* repairing, etc. While some of these
responsibilities can be contracted out, the City would be at
!risk if the arena did not raise enough revenue to pay the
contracted costs. I see little municipal benefit to the City
�frem such a situation at this point, particularly considering
Ith'e more pressing infrastructure needs facing the City should
;City growth occur as anticipated.

RE: Drainage Across Elementary School Property
SEH No. A-ALBEV 9601.00
The storm sewer for Lake Avenue and LaSalle Court outlets at the south property line of the
elementary school and the storm water drains northeasterly across school property that is currently
being cropped. This water eventually drains to the storm sewer system in Barthel Drive. During
heavy rainfall events, the storm water runoff is creating erosion problems in the farm field and
washing out crops that are in the path of the storm water runoff.
The natural drainage path for this residential area and the school site is northeasterly across this farm
field. The storm sewer is concentrating the storm water and creating the erosion problem. As this
property develops, drainage improvements would be constructed that would carry the water from
the south side of the property to the north side. However, this property appears to have no public
access, making development difficult. It is my understanding that the school is renting this field to
a farmer, at minimal cost, just to keep the property from becoming a nuisance.
Because the property has no direct public access and the City is in need of creating storm water
retention, I recommend the City Council work with the School Board to create a park and a storm
water retention pond on this property. One option might be if the school were to dedicate the land
to the City, the City would create a park and athletic field that would be utilized by the school and
the City. There would also be an opportunity to create a pond to control the rate of storm water
runoff.
There are numerous options which could be considered. If you agree, please put this matter on the
Council agenda for discussion purposes.

Proposed levies not to be exceeded
ith nonvoter bond levies
ndrea Atherton
Under a little -noticed provision of
the omnibus tax bill which merely
deleted two words, cities must now
plan a bit more carefully when certify-
ing the proposed levy on September
15. The amount of debt service
necessary to pay the principal and
interest on non-voter approved bonds is
no longer a permissible reason to
increase the property tax levy after the
proposed levy has been certified on
September 15. The provision does not
restrict the city from levying for the
debt service in subsequent years. The
final levy may still be increased by the
amount necessary to pay debt service
on bonds approved by the voters after
the proposed levy has been certified.
According to at least one bond
counsel, this change will probably
mean for some bond issues that cities
will have to capitalize additional
interest and defer for a year
the first principal maturity
date. Either of these
options will likely make it more costly
for cities to borrow money.
Where feasible, cities should make
every effort to ensure that the Septem-
ber 15 proposed levy reflects the levy
New law
o Cu S
necessary for any anticipated non-
voter approved bond issues. Re-
member, the final levy can always be
reduced but can only be increased
under certain limited circumstances.
