TO: City Council
FROM: G.L. Hale, City Administrator
SUBJ: Ordinance #1997-5 (Noise)
During December 1996 we were faced with a problem with
a resident that disturbed an entire neighborhood. There
were different problems such as: 1)Snowmobiles; 2)noise; 3)
underage drinking; and 4)Other'items (Trash, driving on yards).
At the time the council decided to prepare a snowmobile
ordinance and use the state law on noise. After three plus
months the neighbors and sheriff's department, believe we need
more stringent requirements to handle noise.
The Wright County Sheriff's Department in cooperation with'
the Wright County Attorney's Office have supplied two actual
city noise ordinances from Wright County. Both agencies
feel confident either ordinance is fully enforceable and is
strict enough to allow enforcement related to nuisance noise.

need to have the road completed for traffic flow. Commissioner
Brown mentioned reasons: 1) Traffic; 2) Orderly development; 3)
Safety - access for emergency vehicles; 4) Pedestrian traffic; and
so on.
Bernard Marx was present to discuss 57th Street. Concerns
were zoning and street widths.
Liz Stockman discussed collector street width right of way 80
feet versus 60 feet local street. Howard Larson mentioned that
Marx's would not allow access on to 57th Street by residential
houses. Access on by streets only.
Council Member Berning refreshed those present on how the
Comprehensive Plan was determined ,and adopted. Zoning was
considered as were street types (widths).
Chair Vetsch and Commissioner Robertus restated a collector
road with a 40 foot width road surface and 80 foot right of way.
Commissioner Brown reinforced the need of 80 feet to accommodate a
trail.
Planner Stockman stated City Engineer Carlson would consider
a 70 foot right of way. Don Jensen of Pilot Land discussed
alternatives to 80 foot right of ways. Jim Brown felt this issue
would not go away. Doug Psyk has 37 feet back to back on 53rd
Street and a 60 foot right of way. -
Further discussion by all present revolved around existing
road sections that were not proper width on 57th Street by the
church and 53rd Street in the residential area.
Bernard Marx requested zoning changes on 57th Street NE.

PM. The concept includes "coving" and a golf course.
Commissioner Larson discusses ongoing concern over two family
housing. Commissioner Brown reviewed the meeting with the number
of two family as a concern and the ability to restrict by contract
performance standards.
Chair Vetsch opened discussion on the D'Aigle/Swanson
Development. Planner Stockman discussed access through the lake.
Stockman discussed road fill width of 28 feet between lakes.
Engineer Carlson was in agreement. '
Liz Stockman moved to D'Aigle. Discussed road access points
to 70th Street NE, keep MacIver and paving both streets.
Commission needs to discuss issues to provide direction on the
D'Aigle questions. Discussed paving. No consensus.
D'Aigle's were not interested in paying for Otsego's share of
the road. Cost benefit is a factor.
Commissioners concerned about "premature" development. A
direction for the D'Aigle's would be preferred.
Commissioners Brown and Robertus were concerned about the
issues of road access, utilities, road pavement and a shared road
create an environment where "premature" is the answer for today.
Rod D'Aigle stated access to CSAH 19 would not affect their
development. Road access would be 70th Street and MacIver and the
shared road matter is their problem.
Consensus was to have D'Aigle's talk to Joint Services and
Transportation Committee.
Moved by Larson, supported by Vetsch, to schedule a special
meeting on March 25, 1997, at 7:00 PM. All voted aye.
Moved by Larson, supported by Vetsch, to adjourn at 10:42 PM.

March 31, 1997
Albertville City Hall 7:00 PM
PRESENT: Chair Donatus Vetsch, Commissioners Jim Brown,
Carolyn Bauer, Howard Larson, and Dan Robertus, Deputy Zoning
Administrator Linda Houghton and City Planner Liz Stockman
Chair Vetsch convened the regular meeting at 7:00 PM.
Larson made a motion to adopt the agenda as presented.. Brown
seconded the motion. All voted aye.
The Commission reviewed the revisions of Ordinance #1997-2 (An
Ordinance Amending Sections A-500 and A-600 of the Albertville
Subdivision Ordinance Regarding Sketch Plan and Preliminary Plat
Requirements and Establishing a Secondary Street Access Requirement
for Residential Subdivisions). The ordinance requires that no more
than 25 residential units on local streets and no more than 50
units on minor collector streets may be developed within a single
plat without providing a second street access into/out of the
subdivision.
Stockman pointed out that the dead-end street provision is not:
fool -proof. City Engineer Peter Carlson is not comfortable with
setting a specific number of residences to trigger the construction
of a second access. He feels that the Council should have the
ability to waive the requirement if necessary. The Commission
concurred that the ordinance may later be changed if the Council
feels it is not practical to enforce.
Brown made a motion to recommend the City Council adopt
ORDINANCE #1997-2 titled AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTIONS A-500 AND
A-600 OF THE ALBERTVILLE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE REGARDING SKETCH
PLAN AND PRELIMINARY PLAT REQUIREMENTS AND ESTABLISHING A SECONDARY
STREET ACCESS REQUIREMENT FOR RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISIONS. Robertus
seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Liz addressed the memo dated March 27, 1997, from her office
regarding street classifications and right-of-way. The subdivision
ordinance requires that designated collector streets (53rd and 57th
Streets) have an 80 foot right-of-way and a 44 foot road back of
curb to back of curb. Local streets are required to have a 60 foot
right-of-way with a 36 foot road back of curb to back of curb.
At the March staff meeting, the city engineer, the city
administrator and the city planner discussed the need for collector
streets in the City given the number of arterial and minor arterial
(county roads) which provide access in all directions, their close
proximity, and the relatively small size of the community. After
much discussion, staff recommends that a "Minor Collector" street

classification be created, which would require a 70 foot right-of-
way and a 36 foot back of curb to back of curb. Staff further
recommends that the designated collector streets (53rd and 57th
Streets) be constructed as minor collector streets. The proposed
main through -road commencing at CSAH 37 and connecting with 53rd
Street, serving Cedar Creek/Center Oaks additions will be
classified as a minor collector street. This allows space for
trails along the street.
Commissioners discussed the pavement width of 32' for local
streets. City Engineer Peter Carlson feels that a 32' paved
surface is adequate for traffic flow, as well as snow plowing, etc.
Commissioner Robertus pointed out that the street in front of his
home has a 32' paved surface, but a 36 foot back of curb to back of
curb measurement. During the winter months, it was sometimes
difficult for two vehicles to pass when a car was parked on one or
both sides of the street.
Brown made a motion to recommend that the City Council pursue
an amendment to the Subdivision Ordinance as follows:
A "minor collector" classification with a 70 foot right-of-
way and a 36' back of curb to back to curb measurement will be--,
created.
Robertus seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Stockman reviewed the Park & Trail System Policies with the
Commission. Minor changes were made in the draft document, and the
revised Park & Trail System Policies will be presented for final
approval at a later date.
The Commission discussed the possible addition of 1.98 acres
to the existing 2.84 acre Parkside 3rd park when the Center Oaks
parcel is platted. Adjoining park land immediately to the south
could be acquired when the Lyman Lumber property develops.
Further discussion of the park issue, as well as discussion of
the Cedar Creek Golf Course, was tabled to the next regular meeting
on April 8, 1997.
Larson made a motion to adjourn at 10:15 PM. Robertus
seconded the motion. All voted aye.

Chair Larson moved to right-of-way width. Engineer Carlson
was present to discuss. Carlson referenced the staff meeting of
March 26, 1997. Suggestion was to look at 32 foot width street.
Snow plowing policy is to plow curb to curb. 32 foot streets back
of curb to back of curb help to reduce development costs and
maintenance costs for seal coating, maintenance overlay, etc.
MNDOT State Aid has been updated to allow for streets at 26 feet
(no parking on either side) to 38 foot wide (parking on both
sides). The use of two and three car garages has minimized the
need for street parking. Carlson mentioned other communities are'.
narrowing their street widths.

RESOLUTION 97- l _
A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING THE NEED FOR REGULATION OF PERSONAL
WIRELESS SERVICE ANTENNAS AND SUPPORT STRUCTURES THEREOF
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS.
WHEREAS, on 8 February 1996, Congress enacted the Federal
Telecommunications Act of 1996 P.L No. 104-104, to de -regulate the telecommunications
industry, providing a more competitive environment for wired and wireless
telecommunication services in the United States; and
WHEREAS, an accompanying effect of increased competition in the marketplace
for wireless telecommunication services is an increased demand for antenna sites on
towers and other support structures; and
WHEREAS, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 preserves the authority of the City
to regulate the placement, construction, and modification of towers, antenna support
structures, and associated personal wireless service facilities in order to protect the health,
safety and welfare of the City; and
WHEREAS, the uncontrolled proliferation of personal wireless service antenna and
support structures within the City's residential zoning districts could diminish property
values and be a source of aesthetic blight in the City; and
WHEREAS, ample opportunities exist for the erection of personal wireless service
antennas within the City's Commercial, Industrial, and Public/Institutional Zoning Districts;
and
WHEREAS, the City's Commercial, Industrial, and Public/Institutional Zoning
Districts lie in areas of the City considered highly desirable for such antenna facilities.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Albertville
that the attached amendment to the Albertville Zoning Ordinance regarding the regulation
of antennas is hereby adopted.

structurally, electrically, and in all respects, to accommodate both the applicant's
antennas and comparable antennas for at least one additional user, including but
not limited to other personal wireless service companies, local police, fire and
ambulance companies. The antenna support structure must be designed to allow _
for future rearrangement of antennas upon it and to accept antennas mounted at
varying levels.
(i) Antenna support structures under two hundred (200) feet in height shall be
painted a non -contrasting color consistent with the surrounding area such as: blue,
gray, brown or silver, or have a galvanized finish to reduce visual impact, unless
otherwise allowed by federal law.
0) Except as may be applicable in cases where a conditional use permit is
required, antennas and support structures for federally licensed amateur radio
stations and used in the amateur radio service are exempt from sub -paragraphs C,
F, and I above, and must comply with Subd. L. below.
(k) Amateur radio support structures (towers) shall be installed in accordance
with the instructions furnished by the manufacturer of that tower model. Because
of the experimental nature of the amateur radio service, antennas mounted on such
a tower may be modified or changed at any time so long as the published allowable
load on the tower is not exceeded and the structure of the tower remains in
accordance with the manufacturers specifications.
4
2500.3 ' Accessory and Secondary Use Antennas. The following standards shall apply.
to all accessory and secondary use antennas including radio and television receiving
antennas, satellite dishes, TVROs two (2) meters or less in diameter, short -wave radio

yard (except a rear yard) or within public or private utility and drainage easements,
and shall be set back a minimum of ten (10) feet from all lot lines.
(c) *Guy wires or guy wire anchors shall not be erected within public or private
utility and drainage easements, and shall be set back a minimum of five (5) feet
from all lot lines.
(d) Accessory or secondary use antennas and necessary support structures,
monopoles or towers (either ground or structure mounted)-maysnot exceed the
height limitation of the zoning district in which they are located, except support
structures and antennas used in the amateur radio service may extend a maximum
of seventy (70) feet above grade, as defined in this Ordinance, in any zoning
district.
2500.4. Personal Wireless Service antennas. Personal wireless service antennas
shall be allowed in all Commercial, Industrial and Public/Institutional Districts of the City

located upon a public structure shall be processed in accordance with the
provisions of Section 1500 of this Ordinance (site/building plan review) and comply
with the following standard.
(1) Consideration shall be given to the location of existing as well as
planned public structures (ie: Joint Powers water towers) to take advantage
of co -location opportunities and avoid potential interference problems.
(2) Transmitting, receiving and switching equipment shall be housed
within an existing structure whenever possible. If a new equipment building
is necessary for transmitting, receiving and switching equipment, it shall be
5
situated in the rear yard of the principal use and shall be screened from view
by landscaping where appropriate. Where receiving and switching
equipment does not require an equipment building for protection from the
elements, it may be housed at the base of the antenna provided it is
screened from view by fencing or other man-made materials (in the case of
an antenna located upon a structure) or landscaping (in the case of ground
mounted antenna).
(b) Antennas Not Located Upon A Public Structure. Personal wireless service
antennas not located upon a public structure shall require the processing of a
conditional use permit and shall comply with the following standards:
(1) A proposal for a new commercial wireless telecommunication service
tower shall not be approved unless it can be demonstrated that the
telecommunications equipment planned for the proposed tower cannot be
accommodated on an existing or approved tower or building within a one (1)
mile search radius (one-half ('/2) mile search radius for towers under 120 feet
in height and or one -quarter (1/4) mile search radius for towers under 80 feet
in height) of the proposed tower due to one or more of the following reasons:
a. - The planned equipment would exceed the structural capacity
of the existing or approved tower or building, as documented by a
qualified and licensed professional engineer, and the existing or
approved tower cannot be reinforced, modified or replaced to
accommodate planned or equivalent equipment at a reasonable cost.
b. The planned equipment would cause interference, materially
impacting the usability of other existing or planned equipment at the
tower or building as documented by a qualified radio frequency
engineer and the interference cannot be prevented at a reasonable
cost.
C. Existing or approved towers and buildings within the search
radius cannot accommodate the planned equipment at a height
necessary to function reasonably as documented by a qualified
engineer.
d. In spite of its best efforts, within 60 days, the applicant was
unable to obtain approval to co -locate on an existing or approved
tower or building. The applicants efforts must be documented in
writing, including who was contacted and their written denial of the
request.
C.
e. Other reasons that make it impractical to locate the planned
telecommunications equipment upon an existing or approved tower
or building.
(2) The applicant shall provide a scale map of the city and surrounding
locality which shows the coverage area of the proposed antenna.
(3) The antennas shall be located on an existing structure, if possible,
and shall not extend more than fifteen (15) feet above the structural height
of the structure to which they are attached.
(4) If no existing structure which meets the height requirements for the
antennas is available for mounting purposes, the antennas may be mounted
on a single ground mounted pole provided that:
a. The pole not exceed one hundred (100) feet in height, unless it
can be demonstrated that the extra height is necessary to optimize
coverage, allow greater siting flexibility/co-location opportunities or to
eliminate the need for multiple (shorter) towers.
b. The setback of the pole from the nearest residential structure is
not less than the height of the antenna. Exceptions to such setback
may be granted if a registered structural engineer specifies in writing
that any collapse of the pole will occur within a lesser distance under_
all foreseeable circumstances.
(5) Transmitting, receiving and switching equipment shall be housed
within an existing structure whenever possible. If a new equipment building
is necessary for transmitting, receiving and switching equipment, it shall be
situated in the rear yard of the principal use and shall be screened from view
by landscaping where appropriate. Where receiving and switching
equipment does not require an equipment building for protection from the
elements, it may be housed at the base of the antenna provided it is
screened from view by fencing or other man-made materials (in the case of
an antenna located upon a structure) or landscaping (in the case of ground
mounted antenna).
(6) Unless the antenna is mounted on an existing structure, a security
fence not greater than eight (8) feet in height with a maximum opacity of fifty
(50) percent shall be provided around the support structure.
7
(7) The conditional use permit provisions of Section 400 of this
Ordinance are considered and determined to be satisfied.

RE: Albertville - Proposed Snowmobile Ordinance
FILE: 163.05
Prior to your decision on the proposed ordinance regulating the operation of snowmobiles and
other recreational vehicles on city streets, please give some thought to how this will affect the
Albertville and Wright County Snowmobile Associations as well as the Park and Trail Plan.
Currently, the snowmobile assooiations in cooperation with the DNR, Wright County and business
owners have a color map available to the public which shows the location of over 225 miles -of
trails in Wright County, about 5-6 of which are located in Albertville. The designated trails are
along the southern ditch of CSAH 37, extending to the west then south through the Kolles and
PiloWenco properties. To the east the CSAH 37 trail leads through the industrial park via Barthel
Drive right-of-way and south through private industrial properties, extending across 50th Street
into St. Michael. A third leg from CSAH 37 progresses east and north across the 1-94 bridge and
follows Maciver Avenue into Otsego.
Over the next several years, these areas will be impacted by urban development. As part of the
Park and Trail Plan, we have scheduled a meeting on 29 April to discuss ways in which we can
maintain and coordinate snowmobile trails with the planned pedestrian/bicycle system. The
snowmobile associations seem very willing to work to address the City's concerns and avoid
conflicts with urban development. This may include re-routing trails, providing better signage to
keep users on the trails, among other things.
Businesses in the City have donated money in support of the snowmobile associations and
advertise on the map to promote patronization of their facilities and services (152 Club, Albertville
Bar, Pat's 66, Don's Auto Service, Hack's Liquor/Gas, KD's Restaurant). Thus, prohibiting
snowmobiles on City streets may be in opposition to the intent of the map which requires Main
Street (CSAH 35) and CSAH 19 usage to access these businesses. Are these roads exempt from
the ordinance because they're under county jurisdiction? Is there another way to limit the use of
snowmobiles in these areas without abolishing them?

SUBJ Regional Transportation Plan
As a follow up to the previous council discussion, we have
had an opportunity to speak with City of St. Michael
.staff and elected council person(s). There is interest
,on working up and area/regional transportation plan.
It was suggested that staff (city engineers and others)
meet to share each city's plans with the idea of combining
.them into one regional map/plan. From this meeting(s) bring
the "draft" results forward for formal council deliberations.
Our ultimate goal would be to have one combined "Regional Plan"
-- that is adopted by joint resolutions with results being forwarded
to Wright County and the State of Minnesota - Department of
Transportation.
The end results could be used as a tool to facilitate th-e
acquistions of joint project funding and possible legislation
for monies that serve the regional area.

RE: Local Street Width
Albertville, Minnesota
SEH No. A-ALBEV9701.00
There has been much discussion at staff level regarding whether the width of local streets should be
36 feet or 32 feet. The following items are offered in support for a 32 foot local street width:
1. A 32-foot width does allow for two vehicles to pass each other when a car is parked on one side
of the street. Widening the street to 36 feet will not allow for the two vehicles to pass each other
when cars are parked on both sides of the streets.
2. It is the City's Maintenance Departments policy to plow the streets curb to curb. The winter of
196-'97 has been an exceptionally difficult year to plow snow and follow this policy. Therefore,
how the snow plowing policy was carried out this year should not influence the street width
discussion.
3. A 32-foot width provides more right-of-way for snow storage.
4. A 32-foot street width helps reduce development costs, thereby helping to reduce the increased
costs associated with the 100-foot width required of lots in the R 1 A zone. The 32-foot width will
also reduce maintenance and repair costs the City will incurr in the future.
5. MnDOT State Aid standards for street width are as follows:
a. 26-foot width with no parking on either side of the street.
b. 32-foot width with parking allowed on one side of the street.
c. 38-foot width with parking allowed on both sides of the street. Y

6. A single-family residential lot typically provides at least a two -car garage and enough driveway
length to fulfill the majority of the parking needs for the family living in that particular home.
Therefore on -street parking is not a concern except during special occasions. Widening the street
to accomodate these special occasions is not cost effective.
7. Safety is a concern of everyone. Having a wider street does allow for cars to pass each other with
greater comfort, but this does not necessarily translate into increased safety. If that were the case
than where do we stop with our street widths? In our experience a 32-foot width for a local street
is very common. In fact, a number of cities are even using a 28-foot wide road for their local streets.
We encourage the Planning Commission and City Council to consider the information presented and
look favorable on the recomendations as presented by the City staff.

RE: Road Restrictions
Albertville, Minnesota
SEH No. A-ALBEV9701.00
The City has established a 4-ton weight restriction on city streets from approximately March 1 to
May 15 of each year. These dates can be adjusted depending on weather conditions. Limited
exceptions can also be made during this time frame, if warranted be weather conditions. My
recommendations for permitted exceptions are as follows:
1. Maximum allowable load of 7-tons per axle
2. Temperatures from the previous night were below 20degrees
3. Temperatures during the day not to exceed 35 degrees
4. Deliveries are made prior to 10:00a.m.
These exceptions can be made if the number of trips are limited. Since these exceptions would be
permitted, if it appears these exceptions are being abused, than the City can stop issuing the permits.

RE: County Ditch No. 9 Drainage
Albertville, Minnesota
SEH No.A-ALBEV9701.00
On Monday, April 7,1997 a meeting was held with representatives of the Cities of Albertville and
St. Michael, Wright Soil and Water Conservation District and Wright County to discuss the drainage
to County Ditch No.9. The issue discussed was flooding along the ditch, erosion of the ditch banks,
and how development in each city is contributing to these problems.
At this point there is no good mechanism in place to contol drainage to the ditch or to make
improvements to the ditch. At our meeting we discussed setting up a watershed district to establish
drainage criteria to the ditch. If the Council agrees with this concept, it will take some time to set-up
the district. In the mean time there will still be development occuring along the ditch. Therefore,at
our meeting we suggested restricting the drainage from new developments to half of the
predevelopment runoff.
At the April 15,1997 meeting I would like to discuss this issue and have a consensus on what
direction you would like us to proceed.

NSP wishes to offer the best customer service possible and part of that service is
accurate, timely meter readings. A NSP meter reader has brought to my attention
that the City has a facility located at 6451 Maciver Ave. NE with a condition that
makes our service goal a challenge.
The location of the meter on the facility causes it to be covered with ice during the
winter months. This condition makes resetting the demand portion of the meter
extremely difficult if not impossible. Without being able to reset the demand portion
of the meter NSP is forced to do estimation and prorating of the demand component
of your bill. Inaccurate information is not helpful to you the customer or NSP.
For your benefit we recommend that a shield or cover be placed above the meter
location in order to alleviate the problem and help insure accurate billing.

RE: CERTIFICATION OF LOCAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES
FOR LOCAL PERFORMANCE AID PAYABLE IN 1998
Minnesota Statutes, Section 477A.05 provides for Local Performance Aid (LPA). In
order to qualify for LPA, your city must have a system of performance measures for
services provided by the city, and must regularly compile and present these measures to
the city council at least once per year. if there is currently no system of performance
measures in place, your city may still qualify for this aid if it is in the process of
developing and implementing a system of performance measures. However, eligibility
based upon being in the process of development may not be used for more than two
consecutive years.
For the purpose of the enclosed certification form, "in the process" may include having
the subject of performance measures on the agenda of the city council. The city should
then use the time period between this year's certification and next year's certification to
develop basic measures such as "workload," unless it has already moved beyond this
stage. The second year of "in the process" must be used to move to a higher level of
performance measurement, such as measuring efficiency and effectiveness.
Local performance aid will be determined as follows for calendar year 1998: The total
amount of aid available for cities in 1998 is $4,107,673, plus an inflation adjustment
based on the implicit price deflator. A per capita aid amount will be determined by
dividing the total aid available by the total population of all cities that qualify for the aid.
Each qualifying city then receives an aid amount based on its population times the per
capita aid amount.
Distribution of LPA is based on yearly certifications for each qualifying city. Cities are
required to submit an annual certification in order to receive LPA payable in calendar
year 1998 and subsequent years.
Note: The State Legislature is currently looking at LPA, and there could be changes
which affect LPA. Your city will be notified if there are changes which affect your
1998 Certification of Local Performance Measures or your 1998 LPA.
LPA will be paid in two equal installments on July 20 and December 26 of 1998.
Qualifying cities will receive a certification of their 1998 LPA by July 31, 1997.
(continued)
An equal opportunity employer TDD: (612) 215-0069
Page 2
As mentioned above, your city may qualify for LPA by (1) having a system of
performance measures in place, or (2) by being in the process of developing and
implementing a system of performance measures. If your city qualifies for LPA by either
criteria, and your city wishes to participate in the distribution of this aid for calendar year
1998, your city must fill out the enclosed certification and return it to our office by June
30, 1997. Please note: if our office. does not receive a certification from your city by
June 30,1997, your city will not be eligible to receive this aid in calendar year 1998.
If you have any questions regarding the completion of this form, please feel free to call

SUBJ: Snow Plow Policy - Tree Damage Complaint (C. Baurer)
We received a complaint from Mrs. Baurer of 541 St NE.
The Baurer's evergreen trees have damage that was caused
by the City's snow plow operations.
Maintenance Worker II Lindsay informed us the trees were
on private property. Further, he informed us that Mrs.
Baurer was notified that the location of the trees was in
a snow drift prone area and as such could be subject to
potential snow removal problems.
In keeping with your policy on snow plowing I believe this
matter requires consideration since the damage is outside
of the City rights-of-way.on private property.
