EL WYN TINKLENBERG GROUP 1-94 STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDING LOBBYING
PROPOSAL
Mr. Tinklenberg addressed the Council in his experience working with all levels of government and
officials enables the Tinklenberg Group to provide unique connections to its clients. The Group
offers a solid foundation of knowledge and experience with a broad range of processes, regulations
and contacts, which when combined with innovative and creative strategies, results in the funding
and support fundamentals to advancing client objectives.
The Tinklenberg Group has extensive experience and knowledge surrounding methods to
adequately inform and engage the general public and appropriate stakeholders with project
activities.
Council member Berning asked if the Tinklenberg Group works strictly on the Federal Agencies or
would he go to the State and County.
Mr. Tinklenberg stated there are a number of funding sources and they can assist communities to
maximize resources, garner support and increase project awareness, and develop consensus that will
not only assist in expediting the processes, but also position communities to take advantage of a
variety of funds at the local, regional, s~ate and federal levels. Funding is sometimes very specific
.
6
.
.
.
for example there are some funds focusing on biking trails or pedestrian trails. He would look at as
many areas as possible; it would depend what the City's needs.
The Tinklenberg Group's strategy will include preparation summary of State and Federal
transportation funding sources, develop a strategy to maximize planned investments and advance
project improvements as funding is identified, requested and becomes available.
They would review current and proposed State and Federal transportation programs and assess the
potential for new funding. for the interchange work from all available and appropriate sources.
Develop a strategy to potentially pursue high priority designation and appropriate Federal funding
for the project area.
Develop an investment strategy on an improvement-by-improvement basis consistent with the
overall goals for the projects.
Coordinate with other affected local governments, the County and the State to generate a
partnership approach to interchange improvements.
Assist with the preparation of Federal funding requests for interchange improvements on an annual
basis. Create necessary materials and respond to the Transportation Appropriations Committee
information requests for targeted funding.
Establish, coordinate and participate in meetings with legislative leaders and elected officials in
Washington, D.C.
Provide regular communication updates with all elected officials. Coordinate special events as
interchange improvements occur.
Council member Berning wanted to know what the timeframe was for applying for the funding.
Mr. Tinklenberg believes that communicating and engaging the community early on in the planning
process is most effective in building support and consensus for projects. Methods that involve input
from public and private stakeholders can enhance support at the local, regional, state and more
importantly the federal level, as well as assist in moving projects forward more quickly. The
process should also bring together public and private representatives to discuss the needs, issues and
opportunities for transportation improvements, which would in turn result in collaborative and
cohesive decision making to best manage development and effective growth.
The estimated time to complete the tasks is one-year. This timing is based on technical work
currently underway and subject, somewhat to the schedule of these other planning activities.
Council addressed the fees in the proposal, if you get through task number one then what? How
soon would you need to know before we sign the proposal and when could we sit down to discuss
the details of the proposal.
7
Mr. Tinklenberg stated at your earliest convenience. The cost to complete this work is depending .
on the scope of the proposal elements. Upon completion of the tasks identified, the City and the
Tinklenberg Group will review the status of the project and may negotiate the inclusion of
additional work as deemed necessary or appropriate.
DEP ARTMENTBUSINESS
PLANNING & ZONING
JOINT POWERS WATER TREATMENT PLANT - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT: WATER TREATMENT
PLANT EXPANSION
City Planner Brixius stated that the Joint Powers Water Board of Albertville, St. Michael, and
Hanover, has submitted an application for a Conditional Use Permit and St. Michael to allow for the
building expansion and construction of a garage on the site located at 11100 50th Street. The subject
site is approximately 2.4 acres and is bounded on the south by CSAH 35 (50th Street) and the St.
Michael/Albertville High School on the east. To the north is a large wetland and land zoned as R-1
Single Family. The land directly west of subject site is also owned by the Joint Powers Water
Board and operates as a well and pump house, office and ground storage reservoir. The applicant is
proposing to expand an existing building and construct a garage on the site. A CUP is necessary for
the alteration or expansion of the facility.
The site is currently zoned P/I, Public/Institutional. The purpose of the P/I District is to provide a
specific zoning district for facilities devoted to serving the public and specialized government~l
activities and semi-public uses. A Conditional Use Permit allows governmental and public
regulated utility buildings, street garages and structures necessary for the health, safety, and general
welfare of the community. .
Council asked if the shed would be removed with the addition of a garage.
Chris Katlin stated the shed would be removed once the garage is built.
Council wanted to know if landscaping or other would be considered to control the noise.
Mr. Katlin said the equipment would be placed on the roofwith sound barriers around it.
City Planner Brixius commented that there is a considerable wetland north of the site. It is about
the size of a football field. It would make it difficult to add more landscaping there.
Council addressed the lighting on the site. They would like it to be in compliance with current
zoning ordinance.
Council wanted to know if the discharge to the sewer system would be reduced with this expansion.
Mr. Katlin shared that with this expansion and improvements those problems orconcems would-
drop it by about 90%.
Council asked when they anticipated completion of the project.
.

.
Mr. Katlin said they hope to have it completed for operation by November 2005.
MOTION BY Mayor Peterson, seconded by Council member Berning to approve the Findings of
Fact and Decision for the Conditional Use Permit - Water Treatment Plant Expansion. Motion
carried unanimously.
CONTRACTOR'S PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT COMPANY - AMENDMENT TO TOWNE LAKES
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTIPRELIMINARY PLAT FOR OUTLOT G, TOWNE LAKES 3RD
ADDITION
City Planner Brixius stated that in Spring of2003, the City of Albertville approved a planned unit
development (PUD) and preliminary plat for Phase II of Towne Lakes, which included the Vetsch
property north of School Lake and east of County Road 19. The northeastern portion of this
PUD/preliminary plat was designed with R-IA, 15,000 square foot lots with the intention that this
land use and lot pattern would continue eastward into the adjoining property.
In 2004, the Hunter's Pass Estates PUD/preliminary plat was approved as a coved subdivision. In
light of access restrictions onto 70th Street and MacIver, as well as several environmental
constraints presented by the site (shoreland restriction, extensive wetland constraints), the City
approved lot size flexibility through the PUD.
.
Through the Hunter's Pass Estates plat review, the City Engineer outlined a number of
transportation improvements that must be established as part of the plat. There will be a significant
street improvement at the intersection of Large Avenue and 70th Street with proper stacking distance
extending into the subdivisions to the south. This intersection falls on the shared property line of
Hunter's Pass Estates and Towne Lakes. To facilitate the intersection improvements, the City
sought the cooperation of Towne Lakes through a plat revision to implement the Large Avenue
design components. This intersection would potentially be a signalized intersection looking at the
long range future planning.
In recognition of the smaller lots approved in Hunter's Pass Estates, Towne Lakes has requested
PUD flexibility in lot area and lot width. The original preliminary plat showed 19 lots. The revised
plat requests 22 lots for a gain of three lots for Towne Lakes.
Mr. Hempel stated that when they originally platted Towne Lakes they never envisioned 70th Street
to be a major thorough fare road. The requirements of Large Avenue were not of concern when we
platted. Since then we learned of the ~-mile requirements of the County.
MOTION BY Council Member Fay, seconded by Council Member Rich to approve the Findings of
Fact and Decision for the Albertville-Towne Lakes - Preliminary Plat Amendment. Motion carried
with Mayor Peterson and Council Member Berning voting nay.
.. ---ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT - SECTIONS 1000.9 (D) AND 5000.4 - HIGH WATER ELEVATION AND
SUBDIVISION TEXT AMENDMENT - SECTION A-600.4 (A) - HIGH WATER ELEVATION
City Planner Brixius stated that it has been brought to our attention by the City Engineer that the
City has a number of regulations pertaining to separation from high water elevations for structures
. within the City of Albertville. They noted that the separation from high water elevations vary from
9
section to section with some contradiction. The City Engineer suggests separations be uniform and .
that in areas that do not abut a lake, the reference should not be to lowest floor but to lowest
opemngs.
We have identified the various sections that pertain to high water elevation. The following is a
summary of Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance provisions, which reference building separations
from high water elevations. It is to be noted that only Section 604 of the Subdivision Ordinance
represents reference to lowest opening of the structure. All other sections refer to lowest floor,
including basement of the structure.
Council member Berning asked about the Prairie Run Addition. He had recently visited the site and
it was poor construction. It looked as ifthe streets were about six (6) feet higher than the lots. In
some areas it seemed there was additional fill to bring the lots up. Then to consider building a
walkout on those lots would be right up to the ponds.
Dean Johnson tried to explain that there is some water still sitting on the site. He has had numerous
conversations of piping out the water. Where you currently see water standing on the site it will not
be there when it is completed. Mr. Johnson stated they will be correcting a few drainage problems
related to the Commercial site.
MOTION BY Council member Klecker, seconded by Council member Berning to approve the
Zoning Text Amendments for Sections 1000.9 (d) and 5000.4 and Subdivision Section A-600.4-
High Water Elevation. Motion carried unanimously.
.
ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT - SECTION 1000.15 - REFUSE
City Planner Brixius commented that through the codification process, it was noted that there are
inconsistencies between Section 5-1-2 of the City Code and the Zoning Ordinance related to trash
handling equipment and refuse removal. Attached please find modified language for Section 5-1-2
of the City Code to correct this issue. We will also be suggesting modifications to Appendix A with
future comments.
MOTION BY Council member Fay, seconded by Berning to approve the Zoning Text
Amendments for the Section 1000.15 - Refuse. Motion carried unanimously.
ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT - SECTION 100.10 - DEVELOPMENT ApPLICATION FEES
City Planner Brixius stated that due to a recent State statute, development application fees are
required to be published as a City ordinance. Currently, the City of Albertville establishes the
development application fees by Resolution of the City Council, thus an ordinance amendment to
set up development fees within the City's Zoning Ordinance is in order. Additionally, a
development fee schedule should be introduced into the proposed ordinance in order to clearly
display required fees. This development application fee ordinance shall be reviewed and updated
annually. -- --- --- - __uu_ _ u___
The existing language within the City's Zoning Ordinance, Section 100.10, and the proposed new
language, which would establish development application fees by way of a zoning ordinance.
.

.
.
MOTION BY Council member Berning, seconded by Council member Klecker to approve the
Zoning Text Amendment for Section 100.10 - Development Application Fees. Motion carried
unanimously.
ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT - SECTION 1400 - BUILDING RELOCATION
City Planner Brixius again stated that as a part of the codification process, it has been determined
that provisions surrounding the relocation of buildings currently exist in both the City Code as well
as the Zoning Ordinance and should be clarified and regulated through one, not both, of these
adopted documents. Because the relocation of buildings is mostly a land use issue, this process
should be regulated within the Zoning Ordinance.
Council asked if the relocation of a building would require Council's approval.
Mr. Brixius informed the Council that a building relocation should be dealt with as a conditional use
permit (CUP) in order to maintain the utmost public safety and quality control regulations within
the City. The razing of buildings is currently a CUP but is proposed to be handled through the
Building Code demolition permit.
MOTION BY Council member Fay, seconded by Council member Klecker to approve the Zoning
Text Amendment for Section 1400 - Building Relocation. Motion carried unanimously.
SIGN CODE AMENDMENT - SECTION 10.1.C - COMMERCIAL GltOUND SIGNS
City Planner Brixius shared with the Council that part of the City codification efforts the following
sign ordinance change is suggested.
Commercial Freestanding Signs
Additionally, it has been proposed to add a maximum area size to free-standing, commercial ground
signs due to longer lot frontages within the City's commercial zoning districts. The current formula
for determining allotted sign area will remain, but we suggest having a size cap in place to maintain
appropriately sized signs in all districts. The maximum area of 250 square feet has been discussed
and is offered by the Planning Commission for the Council's approval.
MOTION BY Council member Berning, seconded by Council member Fay to approve the Sign
Code Amendment for Section 1 O.I.c - Commercial Ground Signs. Motion carried unanimously.
POTTER WETLAND APPEAL
City Attorney Couri asked the Council if they wanted to participate in the appeal process on the
Potter Wetland. Should the Council decide to participate it would defend or support their decision
made regarding the wetland on Potter's property.
Council wanted to know what would be involved should they want to participate in the appeal.
. -----City Attorney Courisaid it would iIivolvewnting a brief on why and what the City decided. Couri
reminded them the position was the 60-day ruling. It was a resolution in which the Council passed.
Mr. Couri stated that he has not seen any of the official paperwork. Mr. Couri said it is a rare
occasion that a 3rd party is concerned with the 60-day ruling.
.
11
Council then wanted to know what would the cost be if we participated.
.
Mr. Couri estimated the cost at $2,000 to $5,000 with funds coming form the General Fund.
MOTION BY Council member Fay, seconded by Council member Klecker to not participate in the
Potter Wetland Appeal. Motion carried unanimously.
GUARANTY COMMERCIAL TITLE, INC. REQUEST TO EXTEND TIME FRAME TO FILE PRAIRIE RUN
PLAT
City Attorney Couri stated that when the developer went to record the Prairie Run Final Plat and
Developer's Agreement they discovered there were some outstanding Green Acre Taxes. The
developer proceeded to get the taxes resolved. Since it is past the 120-day ruling for recording of
the plat and agreement it is considered void. The Council may grant the extension, if they decide
not to it would require the developer to go through the developing process again.
City Attorney Couri recommended granting the extension with a date certain for completion.
Having a definite date would give the developer the extension and the City would know it should be
completed by a certain date. If you do not allow the extension, the plat is voided and goes through
the full process.
Mayor Peterson asked where we stand with the Developer's Agreement. Has the owner complied
with the requests in regards to the removal of the barn, sheds, building, pile of manure on the east
side of County Road 19, etc.
.
Mr. Couri did not have an answer regarding the barn, sheds, buildings and other items.
MOTION BY Council member Berning, seconded by Council member Klecker to approve the
extension to file the Prairie Run Plat with a certain date of January 31, 2005. Motion carried
unanimously.
ENGINEERING
PROPOSAL TO DEVELOP A CITY TRAIL MAP FOR THE EXISTING TRAIL SYSTEM IN THE CITY
Assistant City Engineer Moberg stated that at the request of City staff, SEH submit this proposal to

of the year. Motion carried unanimously.
PROPOSAL FOR MUD LAKE WATER CROSSING (TRUNK FuND PROJECT)
Assistant City Engineer Moberg commented the letter proposal for professional services related to
designing a water main crossing of Mud Lake. The crossing is necessary to serve the proposed
Hunter's Pass Estates development, which is anticipated to proceed with construction in 2005. The
crossing of Mud Lake would be made to interconnect the proposed development with the Towne
Lakes development.
Our proposed scope of services will include:
1. Topographic survey on the west side of Mud Lake.
2. Geotechnical investigation of the proposed crossing route. Soil borings will be taken in late
January 2005 when ice thickness is at maximum depth. Soil borings will be performed by
Braun Intertec.
3. Preparation of a geotechnical report based on results of the soil borings.
4. Selection of alignment, profile, and construction method for the crossing.
5. Preparation of final plans and specifications for construction.
We anticipate the Hunter's Pass Estates developer will incorporate the plans and specifications for
the water main crossing into their bidding documents and that construction will be done as a single
project.
Council wanted to know what Hunter's Pass Estates intentions are. Are they serious about
continuing with the development of the project or not?
City Administrator Kruse stated the Developer is waiting for a response from the City on how much
the Developer will have to contribute towards MacIver and 70th street. The City Engineer is
working on this information and should be ready in the near future.
MOTION BY Mayor Peterson, seconded by Council member Berning to hold offuntil after the
First of the year. Motion carried unanimously.

City Attorney Couri presented the Council with the Planned Unit Development/Conditional Use
Agreement for the Shoppes at Prairie Run. Mr. Couri shared with the Council that, Kyler Avenue will
be an interim road installed to allow the developer to proceed with construction of the site. The
developer is aware that spring 2005 the City will complete the installation of Kyler Avenue. The City
will be block the entrance for a period of time for completion, which the developer is aware of. They
will not obtain a CO until after Kyler Avenue has been completed.
Council asked if there would be crossover parking within the site.
City Planner Brixius confirmed that there would be crossover parking within the site.
MOTION BY Council member Berning, seconded by Council member Klecker to approve the
Planned United Development/Conditional Use Agreement for the Shoppes at Prairie Run. Motion
carried unanimously.
REVISED ALBERT VILLAS MONUMENT SIGN AGREEMENT
City Attorney Couri addressed the Council on the Monument Sign Agreement for the Albert Villas
Development.
Council wanted to know where we are at with collecting the fees the city has incurred for the
development.
.
Mr. Couri explained that we continue to deal with the collection of the fees.
MOTION BY Mayor Peterson, seconded by Council member Rich to table the Albert Villas
Monument Sign Agreement.
WATER TRUNK ORDINANCE - SEWER TRUNK ORDINANCE - DEVELOPMENT FEE ORDINANCE
City Attorney Couri stated that due to a recent State Statute, fees are required to be published as a
City Ordinance. Currently, the City of Albertville establishes the fees by Resolution of the City
Council, thus an ordinance amendment to set up fees within the City's Ordinances is in order.
Additionally, a development fee schedule should be introduced into the proposed ordinance in order
to clearly display required fees. This development fee ordinance shall be reviewed and updated
annually.
Mr. Couri brought to the Council's attention that the Pysk Development was accessed for Sewer Trunk
Charge along with Dynamics in the Barthel Industrial Park.
MOTION BY Council member Fay, seconded by Council member Rich to approve the Ordinance
No. 2004-24 (Water Access Charge). Motion carried unanimously.

AUTHORIZE THE CITY ATTORNEY TO INITIATE FILING A LAWSUIT AGAINST EDINA DEVELOPMENT
FOR COLLECflON OF DELINQUENT BILLINGS AND SEEK COMPLIANCE ON WETLAND ISSUES
City Attorney Couri reviewed the status of the collection of Edina Developments delinquent
billings. Mr. Couri stated that Edina Development has paid the planners and developers fees for all
developments with exception of current billings. Engineering bills remain delinquent for all
additions except the 6th Addition. Ifwe file a complaint against Edina Development, Couri feels
comfortable with our facts on the legal side. City Administrator Kruse and I have heard a few of the
Edina's arguments but not all of them. Mr. Couri would anticipate it would go to mediation at
which point the two parties (ie. City and Edina Development) would hope to come to an agreement
for completion of the work and payment. If an agreement cannot be reached, then it will probably
go to a jury trial.
It is Edina Development contention that there is not enough backup information supporting the
Engineering billings. During construction the City required full time inspection and often times full
time inspection was not always necessary, and so the inspectors time was split between jobs. It is
primarily when the City's inspector's jockeyed between jobs and allocation of inspection costs is
where Edina disagrees. The City Engineer reported that overall inspection and construction
oversight was far less than would be anticipated at approximately 3.5%. City Attorney Couri is
comfortable that the City has a good case. Couri stated that when there is a dispute over a contract
the court usually will require Edina Development to pay the City's Attorney fees if the Court award
in the City's favor. However, if it is a partial verdict, the City may be responsible for the City's
attorney fees.
City Administrator Kruse stated Edina has been in contact with the Developer of Kenco and Pilot
and are looking for a similar discount. What Edina does not realize is the facts are much different.
Pilot's and Kenco's billings are much older and clouded by the changes in ownership. With Edina
Development, the billings are less than four years old and the issues are very limited and are
centered around the engineering billings.
Assistant City Engineer Moberg stated wetland mitigation issues continue to go unresolved and
staff also recommends proceeding with compliance in this area.
MOTION BY Mayor Peterson, seconded by Council member Klecker to authorize the City
Attorney to proceed with filing a lawsuit with Edina Development and pursue compliance on
wetland mitigation issues. Motion carried unanimously.
CITY ADMINISTRATION
WRITTEN REPORT
City Admiriisfrator Kruse addressed theCouncil by briefly reviewing his report. Towne Lakes
lights - all of the underground work (wiring, foundations, etc) has been completed and they are
waiting for Wright-Hennepin to install the poles.
15
Mr. Kruse requested Lieutenant Dan Anselman to submit a written letter on options for 2005
coverage to be included in your January 3,2005 Council packet.
.
Mr. Kruse shared with the Council that included in their packet was a proposal from Community
Partners to host a forum for the City Council, Planning Commission and staff to discuss downtown
issues related to redevelopment of downtown properties such as the Eull Concrete property, the
Albertville Mill elevator, a residential partial north of City Hall and properties north ofCR 37.
DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL WORKSHOP (COMMUNITY PARTNERS)
City Administrator Kruse stated that he has worked extensively with Dave Maroney of Community
Partners on similar issues and recommend his firm to facilitate this discussion. Mr. Maroney will
help us understand the dynamics of redevelopment, what financial tools like tax increment
financing are available to assist implementation.
MOTION BY Council member Berning, seconded by Council member Fay to table the discussion
of redevelopment with Community Partners until the January 3, 2005 Council meeting.
AUTHORIZE THE FINANCE DIRECTOR TO CLOSE FuNDS
City Administrator Kruse brought to the Council's attention the 2003 Audited Financial Statements
noted that the City of Albertville closed Inactive Capital Funds. Further review of the capital
accounts shows there are 22 funds that are no longer active. What staff is recommending is an
official Council action on the issue even though by accepting the Audited Financial Statements the
closing of the funds were approved. Basically what we are trying to accomplish is to clean up of
the Financial Reports. .
MOTION BY Council member Berning, seconded by Council member Klecker to approve
Resolution No. 2004-43 (Resolution Closing Certain Funds -listed below). Motion carried
unanimously.

AUTHORIZE THE FINANCE DIRECTOR TO TRANSFER AND DESIGNATION OF FuNDS
City Administrator Kruse said that currently the City of Albertville has a significant Sewer Access
Fund Balance that needs to be designated and transferred for projects. The un-audited balance for
December 15, 2004 for the SAC Fund was $5,768,868.11. The funds need balances designated
and/or transferred for projects so they are not in the General Fund and Special Revenue Reserves as
Undesignated. The undesignated or unreserved balances give a false impression that the City of
Albertville has no projects for these monies in mind and just carries an excess balance.
Council had some reservation with the amounts and designating the funds to the certain funds.
Council wanted to reduce Resolution No. 2004-44 to 25% and to reduce the numbers on Resolution
No. 2004-45 and Resolution No. 2004-50.
MOTION BY Mayor Peterson, seconded by Council member Rich to approve Resolution No.
2004-44, entitled A Resolution Transferring SAC Funds and amend the amount to $525,000 as on
file in the office of the City Clerk. Motion carried unanimously.

weeks.
W ALKING PATHS - TRAILS
Council wanted to know the process for installation of the trails on CR 37 and 57th Street. They

Please consider this correspondence a summation of the infonnation and recommendations
presented at the public safety workshop on August 11 Ill.
Albertville continues to grow and develop a vigorous and active business district. A portion of
the retail and entertainment industry you are developing is attracting a customer base that is
regional in scope, This is a very positive factOr for the retail industry, but it . does present some
challenges when it comes to traffic, crime and generally "keeping the peace".
In addition to your loCal development, the surrounding communities and the county as a whole is
continuing to experience exponential growth. This fact has a direct impact on traffic
patterns in and through your city. . Another factor to be considered in examining your public
safety needs is the demographic presented by our "newer" citizens, and the expectations they
have when itcomes to safety issues. A younger demographic, including the young families that
are attracted to the amenities Albertville has to offer, is proven to be a much greater "consumer'
of the services of law enforcement. These young parents often express a desire for a more
visible law enforcement presence in their neighborhoods and community, and are very traffic
enforcement oriented. in their requests for service.
.
All of these factors weigh into my recommendation that your city increase its contract coverage
by eight hours daily beginning July 1 ,200S.This increased coverage will allow for double
coverage during the P<'ak. activity perlodof the~y, butit willalso allow for some flexibility in
scheduling resources with special issuesastheYareiden.tified. To use an overused tenn,
this will allow for a m proactive approach to addressing issues before they become a crisis.
I thank you for your consideration of this recommendation.
Respectfully,
Gary L. Miller

Board Members Absent: Don Peterson
Staff Present: Chris Catlin, H.R. Green, Kelly Browning, Veolia Water NA; Shelly Keyes, Veolia
Water NA
Staff Absent: None
MOTION BY PAULLIN, SECOND BY HAGERTY, TO ADOPT THE AGENDA AS
PRESENTED. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
There was no one present under the Citizen Forum.
MOTION BY PAULLIN, SECOND BY FAY, TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF THE
NOVEMBER 22,2004 REGULAR MEETING. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
MOTION BY PAULLIN, SECOND BY KOTTKE, TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA
AS PRESENTED. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Under Unrmished Business, George Eilertson of Northland Securities discussed the possibility of
refinancing the 1999 Series General Obligation Water Revenue Bond. Eilertson explained that
current interest rates would offer an approximate $370,000 debt service savings. Kessler noted that
he supported the refinancing to obtain lower interest rates but new city council members may
require further information. There was some discussion in regards to the options of bonding through
one of the member cities versus the Joint Powers Board bonding themselves. Catlin questioned the
amount of savings difference between a general obligation bond and a revenue bond, since the
Board can only deal with revenue bonds. Eilertson stated that there could be a difference of up to
2%, depending on market conditions and the member cities' credit rating. Kessler asked about the
rate on the existing bond and Eilertson stated the rate is now around 5.5%. Eilertson also noted the
refinancing could be combined with new project financing, reducing overall costs of issuance.
Browning noted that while compiling the 2005 budget, staff was concerned with higher than
anticipated construction costs and timing of new project expenses in relation to anticipated WAC
and user fees. Eilertson suggested a meeting with JPWB staff, engineer and city administrators to
discuss refinancing options. MOTION BY HAGERTY, SECOND BY PAULLIN TO INVITE
CITY ADMINISTRATORS TO MEET WITH JPWB STAFF, ENGINEERS AND NORTHLAND
SECURITIES FOR DISCUSSION OF REFINANCING THE CURRENT BOND AND BONDING
FOR CURRENT AND UPCOMING PROJECTS. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
In other Unrmished Business, Browning explained the issue of monthly WAC fee payments had
~ been discussed with each city and no further action was required.
Under New Business, Browning discussed the 2005 fee schedule. Proposed Supply Connection Fee
rates were increased by 7.6% based on the Construction Cost Index with regard to current debt
59
service and upcoming capital improvements. Proposed User fees were increased by 4.1 % based on
the Skilled Labor Index. This is in line with and follows the same basis that St. Michael used for .
their 2005 fee schedule. Hydrant use permit fees were increased by $20 and the deposit amount
increased by $500 to cover costs of replacing and maintaining equipment associated with hydrant
use. Staff Meter Read fees were increased by $5 to provide greater incentive for customers who
don't return meter cards for 4 quarters. Late fees and fees for Certification to taxes were increased
from 8% to 18%, along with a $5 minimum charge per supply service, as greater incentive to pay
utility bills. MOTION BY HAGERTY, SECOND BY KOTTKE TO APPROVE THE PROPOSED
2005 FEE SCHEDULE. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
In other New Business, Browning requested Board approval to consult with the attorneys regarding
collection policies for final bills and also to review the Joint Powers Operating Agreement between
member cities. The operating agreement needs to be modified to represent current procedures, along
with appropriate resolutions and ordinances in place for the Board and each member city. Keyes
added that accurate information from the attorney regarding legal collection practices would be
helpful to pursue delinquent builder, residential and rental property finals. MOTION BY
HAGERTY, SECOND BY FAY TO APPROVE DISCUSSION OF BILLING POLICIES AND
NEEDED AMENDMENTS TO THE JOINT POWERS BOARD OPERATING AGREEMENT
WITH THE BOARD'SATTORNEY AND CITY ADMINISTRATORS. MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
Additional New Business included two policy changes, one to increase late fees to 18% and one
authorizing staff to issue one discretionary bill adjustment up to $100 provided there is sufficient
evidence to support the adjustment. MOTION BY HAGERTY, SECOND BY PAULLIN TO .
APPROVE THE JOINT POWERS OPERATING POLICY AMENDMENTS AS PRESENTED.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Further New Business discussed the Joint Powers 2005 budget. Browning explained that most of
the expenses were fixed amounts, while income figures were projected based on last year's income
and each city's anticipated connection fees for 2005. MOTION BY PAULLIN, SECOND BY
KOTTKE TO APPROVE THE 2005 BUDGET AS PRESENTED. MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
Other New Business addressed the final billing dispute presented for 11608 Meadowbrook Avenue
NE. Board Members agreed the existing policy is in place to cover administrative costs of switching
service from one customer to another and should remain in place. MOTION BY HAGERTY,
SECOND BY KESSLER TO UPHOLD THE CURRENT POLICY FOR MINIMUM BILLS.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Under Engineering, Catlin recommended payment of Pay Estimate Number Four for $14,065.09 to
LaTour Construction for Tower Overflow and Raw Watermain. MOTION BY KOTTKE, SECOND
BY FAY TO APPROVE PAY ESTIMATE #4 TO LATOUR CONSTRUCTION IN THE
AMOUNT AS PRESENTED. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

easements granted for roadway and utility corridors. The new property has been combined with the
adjacent Joint Powers property at the city's request and assigned one property identification
number. No action required by the Board at this time.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
CONTRACTOR PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT COMPANY-AMENDMENT TO TOWNE LAKES PLANNED
UNIT DEVELOPMENT/PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR OUTLOT G, TOWNE LAKES 3RD ADDITION
Chair Leintz opened the public hearing at 7:02 p.m.
In Spring of2003, The City of Albertville approved a planned unit development (PUD) and
preliminary plat for Phase II of Towne Lakes, which included the Vetsch property north of School
Lake and east of County Road 19. The northeastern portion of this PUD/preliminary plat was
designed with R-IA, 15,000 square foot lots with the intention that this land use and lot pattern
would continue eastward into the adjoinjng property.
In 2004, the Hunter's Pass Estates PUD/preliminary plat was approved as a coved subdivision. In
light of access restrictions onto 70th Street and MacIver, as well as several environmental
63
constraints presented by the site (shoreland restriction, extensive wetland constraints), the City .
approved lot size flexibility through the PUD.
Through the Hunter's Pass Estates plat review, the City Engineer outlined a number of
transportation improvements that must be established as part of the plat. There will be a significant
street improvement at the intersection of Large Avenue and 70th Street with proper stacking distance
extending into the subdivisions to the south. This intersection falls on the shared property line of
Hunter's Pass Estates and Towne Lakes. To facilitate the intersection improvements, the City
sought the cooperation of Towne Lakes through a plat revision to implement the Large Avenue
design components. .
Towne Lakes is requesting an amendment to their original PUD and preliminary plat to facilitate the
new street design. Additionally, the applicant wishes to pursue some lot area and width flexibility
to transition their large lots with the smaller lots in Hunter's Pass Estates.
In review of the Hunter's Pass Estates plat, it became apparent that Large Avenue, which lies
between Hunter's Pass Estates and Towne Lakes, had to be designed as a major intersection with
70th Street. As part of the Hunter's Pass Estates approval, the western portion of the plat had to be
revised to accommodate the following:
1. Large Avenue shall be located at the half-mile spacing from County Road 19 and MacIver.
2.
This intersection is intended to be a full movement intersection with a future signal. _
.
3.
Large Avenue right-of-way between 70th Street and Lakewood Drive shall be 80 feet.
4. Large Avenue between 70th Street and Lakewood Drive must provide a minimum of 180
feet of separation to accommodate traffic stacking at the intersection.
5. Lakewood Drive in Towne Lakes must align with streets in Hunter's Pass Estates.
6. Lakewood Court should be extended to connect with streets in Hunter's Pass Estates.
The proposed revised Towne Lakes preliminary plat and Hunter's Pass Estates plat accomplish the
aforementioned street design criteria.
In recognition of the smaller lots approved in Hunter's Pass Estates, Towne Lakes has requested
PUD flexibility in lot area and lot width. The original preliminary plat showed 19 lots. The revised
plat requests 22 lots for a gain of three lots for Towne Lakes.
Based on our review of the requested amendment to the Towne Lakes PUD/preliminary plat,
conditions have changed since the 2003 approval, City staff recommends approval of the plat and ..
requested PUD flexibility subject to the following conditions:
1.
The applicant and Hunter's Pass Estates enter into a development agreement that stipulates
that subdivision that first extends to Large Avenue shall fully construct Large Avenue to
.
64
.
.
.
City design standards. The other subdivision shall agree to pay for its' half share of Large
Avenue within 60 days of street completions.
2.
The applicant shall submit revised grading, drainage, and utility plans that reflect the
changes to the preliminary plat. Said plans shall be subject to review and approval of the
City Engineer.
3.
All past PUD performance standards approved with the original Towne Lakes preliminary
plat shall be applied to this approval.
4.
The adjacent developers convey the necessary lot remnants to each other to complete the
subdivision.
Commission member Dorenbush asked if the County came up with the entrance point for Large
Avenue.
Assistant City Engineer Moberg addressed the question by stating the original plat for Towne Lakes
in 2003 had the exit onto 70th Street. In 2004 Hunter's Pass Estates presented their concept plan
and preliminary plat. The County would like to keep the access points to be ~-mile ap8;rt.
Commission members asked if the City knew what the land north of 70th Street was zoned in
Otsego.
Staff reported that the land to the north of 70th Street in conjunction to these two preliminary plats
have similar zoning. Otsego wants to keep County Road 19 to be zoned commercial and then phase
in to residential.
Commission members wanted to know if the Towne Lakes and Hunter's Pass Estates developers
had met to discuss these issues and are in agreement with what is being proposed.
City Planner Brixius confirmed that the two developers had met along with the engineers to work
on an agreement for the access point onto 70th Street and MacIver Avenue.
Council liaison Berning noted the setbacks for Towne Lake's is not the same as in the Hunter's Pass
Estates.
City Planner Brixius said the Hunter's Pass Estates is a coving effect and that is why the setbacks
are not as deep as Towne Lakes.
Commission members asked what the street widths and sidewalks were for the two developments.
They too appear not to match.
-- ----
City Planner Brixius responded with adding it to the recommendations that both Towne Lakes and
Hunter's Pass Estates Developer's Agreements have the same street and sidewalk widths.
65
Chair Leintz asked if there was anyone present regarding this public hearing. There was no one .
present.
Chair closed the public hearing at 7:16 p.m.
MOTION BY Commission member Wagner, seconded by Commission member Dorenbush to
approve the Amendment to Towne Lakes PUD/Preliminary Plat for Outlot G, Towne Lakes 3rd
Addition with the five recommendations. Motion carried unanimously.
1. The applicant and Hunter's Pass Estates enter into a development agreement that stipulates
that subdivision that first extends to Large Avenue shall fully construct Large Avenue to
City design standards. The other subdivision shall agree to pay for its' half share of Large
Avenue within 60 days of street completions.
2. The applicant shall submit revised grading, drainage, and utility plans that reflect the
changes to the preliminary plat. Said plans shall be subject to review and approval of the
City Engineer.
3. All past PUD performance standards approved with the original Towne Lakes preliminary
plat shall be applied to this approval.
4.
The adjacent developers convey the necessary lot remnants to each other to complete the
subdivision.
.

widths will be a minimum of 28-feet.
ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT - SECTIONS 1000.9(D) AND 5000.4 - HIGH W ATER ELEVATION
SUBDIVISION TEXT AMENDMENT - SECTION A-600.4(A) - HIGH WATER ELEVATION
Chair Leintz opened the public hearing at 7:24 p.m.
City Planner Brixius stated that it has been brought to our attention by the City Engineer that the
City has a number of regulations pertaining to separation from high water elevations for structures
within the City of Albertville. They note that the separation from high water elevations vary from
section to section with some contradiction. The City Engineer suggests separations be uniform and
that in areas that do not abut a lake, the reference should not be to lowest floor but to lowest
opemngs.
City Planner Brixius informed the Commission that he invited Assistant City Engineer Bob Moberg
to the meeting, as he would have more knowledge to address any questions or concerns you may
have.- - m_u______
City Planner Brixius stated a need of clarification between the natural wetland ground floor
elevation and other standard or man-made ground floor elevation.
.
66
.
.
.
Assistant City Engineer Moberg had reviewed the existing requirements for high water elevations in
three neighboring communities. The communities and their requirements are as follows:
1. Rogers - Lowest opening elevation must be at least two (2)-feet above the 100-year
water elevation or the emergency overflow elevation, whichever is greater. Lowest floor
elevation must be above the normal water elevation of any adjacent water bodies. I
don't believe the City has any special requirements pertaining to Shoreland districts.
2. Otsego - Lowest opening elevation must be at least 18 inches above the 100-year water
elevation. Lowest floor elevation must be above the normal water elevation of any
adjacent water bodies. The City does not have separate requirements for Shoreland
districts.
3. St. Michael- Lowest opening elevation must be at least one (I)-foot above the
emergency overflow elevation. The emergency overflow must be able to convey runoff
from a lOOO-year rainfall event. Lowest floor elevation must be at least two (2)-feet
above the 100-year water elevation. There are no special requirements for Shoreland
districts.
Zoning Administrator/Building Official Sutherland shared information with the Commission
regarding Ms. Kurth's questions and comments noted in the November 9,2004 Planning miQ.utes.
He commented on the statement of Ms. Kurth's stating there was a mote around her house. He
informed the Commission that the 2002 flood had never affected Ms. Kurth's house. The reason
she could not get to her house for a walk through is due to the fact that the two streets leading to her
house were under water. You would have needed a boat or some other mode of transportation to
get to the house.
Mr. Sutherland addressed the comment from Ms. Kurth in regards to water on her lot. That was due
to a leak in the water line, which has been repaired.
Commission members brought to Mr. Sutherland's attention in regards to water coming through the
walls of her house.
Zoning Administrator/Building Official Sutherland stated that is a builder issue and has nothing to
do with the City.
Commission member Wagner wanted to know who reviews these standards when a developer
submits an application with the City for it's review.
Assistant City Engineer Moberg stated that when a developer comes before the Commission and
Council, the engineer would review the plat. If applicable, the engineer would send a copy to the
DNR to review. In some of the developments, the engineer may ask to add man-made ponds for
water run-off, in which the City Engineer would review. If it gets into more complex areas
involving wetlands or lakes, they begin looking at the NWL (Normal Water Elevation), then
consider the next of which would be the HWL (High Water Elevation), and last would be the EOF
(Emergency Overflow Elevation).
67
Once the developer gets plat approval by the Commission and Council the City Engineer would
review and inspect the grading, drainage and erosion control. In residential developments, the City .
Engineer would review the lot survey for each individual lot when a building permit is applied for.
The City requires an additional lot survey in the form of an "as built" which the City Engineer
reVIews.
Commission member Dorenbush questioned why the Commission is looking over this ordinance?
Is it because of the incident with the resident or something other?
City Planner Brixius shared with the Commission that the City Engineer brought the issue to' his
attention and a number of developers want to have walkouts. According to our current ordinance
language, walkouts are prohibited.
Chair Leintz asked if there was anyone present regarding this public hearing. There was no one
present.
Chair closed the public hearing at 8:15 p.m.
MOTION BY Commission member Dorenbush, seconded by Commission member Wagner to
approve the Zoning Text Amendment to Sections 1000.9(d) and 5000.4 - High Water Elevation
Subdivision Text Amendment and Section A-600.4(a) - High Water Elevation. Motion carried
unanimously.
1. Related to the Shoreland Overlay District, in conversation with the DNR Area Hydrologist .
for Albertville, it was recommended that no changes occur within the Shoreland Overlay
District. As such, within 1,000 feet of Mud Lake and School Lake, the Shoreland Overlay
District high water elevation shall apply without change.
2. In Section 5000.4 (a), Wetlands System, the following changes are offered:
(a) The lowest greood floor elevation shall be three (3) feet above the 100-year flood
elevation or f()1:1f ( 4) three (3) feet above the ordinary high water mark of public waters
regulated by Article 4900 (Shoreland Overlay District) of this Chapter, whichever is
greater.
3. In Section A-600.4 (g) of the Subdivision Ordinance, the following changes are
offered:
(g) Drainage Courses. Lots abutting a drainage course, wetlOftd, ponding area, drainage
way, or channel or stream shall have additional depth and width, as required under the
provisions of the City Zoning Ordinance to assure building sites that are not subject to
m______ . flooding. Lots abutting a lalte; pond or stream, watercourse or \";eHBn6 shall contain
adequate lot area which is capable of accommodating a structure with its lowest opening
(window or door) no less than two (2) feet above the highest known water level or no
less than two (2) feet above the 100-year flood level or two-inches above the Emergency
.
68
.
.
.
Overflow Elevation, whichever is greater. In detennining the high water levels, Section
1000.9 (d) of the City Zoning Ordinance shall be followed.
ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT - SECTION 1000.15 - REFUSE
Chair Leintz opened the public hearing at 8:16 p.m.
City Planner Brixius stated that as a part of the codification process it has been detennined that the
provisions regulating trash handling and refuse removal were inconsistent between the City Code
(Section 5-1-2) and the Zoning Ordinance (Section 1000.15). In order to correct this problem and
avoid any duplication of these regulations, we have proposed removing the conflicting language
from the Zoning Ordinance and regulating all trash and container and refuse removal requirements
within the City Code.
The intention of the City Code is to regulate all operational aspects of City provisions (in this case,
trash and refuse removal) and the purpose of the Zoning Ordinance is to standardize land use
elements (i.e., location and screening of refuse).
Commission members stated there are a number of homes that are out of compliance. Will the qty
be enforcing this?
City Planner Brixius said the ordinance would be enforced if there were a complaint filed with the
City.
Chair Leintz asked if there was anyone present regarding this public hearing. There was no one
present.
Chair closed the public hearing at 8:30 p.m.
MOTION BY Commission member Wagner, seconded by Commission member Meza to approve
the Ordinance Amending Section 1100.15 (Refuse) of the Albertville Zoning Ordinance to Remove
Language Which Conflicts with Language Regulating the Same Within the City Code. Motion
carried unanimously.
SECTION 1. Repeal Section 1000.15(a).
SECTION 2. Renumber Section 1000.15(b) to Section 1000.15(a).
SECTION 3. Enactment. This ordinance shall be in full force and effect upon its passage and
publication.
-ZONING TEXt AMENDMENT -SECTION 2300.1- KE~PING(jFANtMALS
Chair Leintz opened the public hearing at 8:31 p.m.
City Planner Brixius stated it has been revealed, through the City's codification process, that the
ordinance regulating the keeping of animals (Section 2300.1) is no longer an appropriate allowance
69
within the city limits. Since the City is nearly fully-developed, regulations within Section 2300.1 .
are no longer applicable as newer residential lot sizes are smaller and not conducive to the keeping
oflarge farm animals. Existing livestock and farm animals within the A-I and A-2 Zoning Districts
will be grandfathered-in as a permitted non-conforming use in those areas. In this respect, is has
been proposed to repeal Section 2300.1 regarding the keeping of animals and renumber Section
2300.2 regarding the care of animals to 2300.1.
Commission members wanted to know if there was a problem or some other reason why we are
looking at this ordinance.
City Planner Brixius pointed out there was very little left zoned A-lor A-2. In the southeast comer
on 50th Street is a section ofland zoned A-I, small triangular jiece off of Jason Avenue near the
Albert Villas Addition, and the Greenhaven Estates off of 60 Street and MacKenzie Avenue zoned
A-2 which are left in the city limits.
Chair Leintz asked if there was anyone present regarding this public hearing. There was no one
present.
Chair closed the public hearing at 8:42 p.m.
MOTION BY Commission member Dorenbush, seconded by Commission member Meza to deny
the Zoning Text Amendment to Section 2300.1 - Keeping of Animals. Motion carried
unanimously.
ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT - SECTION 100.10 - DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FEES
Chair Leintz opened the public hearing at 8:43 p.m.
.
City Planner Brixius commented that due to a recent State statute, development application fees are
required to be published as a city ordinance. Currently, the City of Albertville establishes the
development application fees by Resolution of the City Council, thus an ordinance amendment to
set up development fees within the City's Zoning Ordinance is in order. Additionally, a
development fee schedule should be introduced into the proposed ordinance in order to clearly
display required fees. This development application fee ordinance shall be reviewed and updated
annually.
City Planner Brixius stated that the base fee is a sufficient amount to cover the cost for staff to
prepare the publication of the public hearing, and mailing of the notices.
Commission members asked to include a per lot fee with the PUD Concept Plan, PUD Re-Zoning,
Preliminary Plat and Final Plat.
City Planner Brixius wanted to bring to the Commission's attention the chart on page 46 of the
packet where an analysis had been done to compare what other Cities are charging.
Chair Leintz asked if there was anyone present regarding this public hearing. There was no one
present.
.

. Chair closed the public hearing at 9:07 p.m.
MOTION BY Commission member Meza, seconded by Commission member Kocon to amend the
Zoning Text Amendment to Section 100.10 - Development Application Fees. Motion carried
unanimously.
JOINT POWERS WATER TREATMENT PLANT - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT: WATER TREATMENT
PLANT EXPANSION
Chair Leintz opened the public hearing at 9:08 p.m.
City Planner Brixius stated that the Joint Powers Water Board of Albertville, St. Michael, and
Hanover, has submitted an application for a Conditional Use Permit and St. Michael to allow for the
building expansion and construction of a garage on the site located at 11100 50th Street. The subject
site is approximately 2.4 acres and is bounded on the south by CSAH 35 (50th Street) and the St.
Michael/Albertville High School on the east. To the north is a large wetland and land zoned as R-1
Single Family. The land directly west of subject site is also owned by the Joint Powers Water
Board and operates as a well and pump house, office and ground storage reservoir. The applicant is
proposing to expand an existing building and construct a garage on the site. A CUP is necessary for _
the alteration or expansion of the facility.
.
The site is currently zoned P/I, Public/Institutional. The purpose of the P/I District is to provide a
specific zoning district for facilities devoted to serving the public and specialized governmental
activities and semi-public uses. A Conditional Use Permit allows governmental and public
regulated utility buildings, street garages and structures necessary for the health, safety, and general
welfare of the community.
Chris Katlin representing Joint Powers Water Board was present to answer any questions the
commission may have.
City Planner Brixius commented that there is a considerable wetland north of the site. It is about
the size of a football field. It is a fair distance from the adjoining residential area. The north side of
the building exterior elements would have little significant impact on the residents.
Commission members asked about the bulk storage if it would be above ground or below.
Mr. Katlin said that 99% of the bulk storage would be above ground.
Commission member Wagner inquired about the door on the north side of the building, after
reviewing the high water elevations, is that going to be a concern with the wetland on the site.
-----Zoning AdtIlillistrilfoi Sutherland stated that the City Engin~er has reviewed the grading and--
drainage regarding this application and has approved it.
.
71
Mr. Katlin informed the commission that since the building was originally built a number of years .
ago they have been monitoring the water level and feel the door on the north side of the building
should not be a problem.
Chair Leintz asked if there was anyone present regarding this public hearing. There was no one
present.
Chair closed the public hearing at 9:25 p.m.
MOTION BY Commission member Meza, seconded by Commission member Kocon to approve
the Joint Powers Water Treatment Plant - Conditional Use Permit - Water Treatment Plant
Expansion with the eleven recommendations. Motion carried unanimously.
1. A revised landscaping plan shall be submitted. Said plan shall outline the size, planting
instructions, and other installation standards proposed for the site. The landscaping plan shall
indicate the location of all exterior equipment and the proposed treatments to screen said uses.
2. A total of fifteen (15) new Black Hills Spruce trees shall be planted. These plantings shall be
identified on the revised landscaping plan.
3. A two-year landscaping guarantee for all new plantings shall be required.
4. All roof equipment shall be properly screened and shall be in conformance with the Zoning
Ordinance. .
5. Silt fencing and/or other erosion control measures shall be utilized and shall be subject to the
review and approval of the City Engineer. Disturbed areas within the wetland perimeter shall
be re-established with native vegetation from the wetland site.
6.. The fence and fence details shall be subject to the review and approval of the City. The fence
shall not exceed the maximum size and height requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and
match the existing fence.
7. A photometric plan and lighting details shall be submitted and are subject to the review and
approval of the City.
8. Outdoor storage within the site shall be prohibited.
9. The grading, drainage and erosion control plan shall be subject to the review and approval of
the City.
10. The applicant shall provide the City with copies of documents stating that the proposed use is ___~u_
in compliance with all agency requirements pertaining to the bulk storage of all gasoline,
liquid fertilizer, chemical, flammable and similar liquids.
11. Additional comments from staff, Planning Commission, and/or City Council.

ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT - SECTION 1400 - BUILDING RELOCATION
Chair Leintz opened the public hearing at 9:26 p.m.
City Planner Brixius stated that as a part of the codification process, it has been determined that
provisions surrounding the relocation of buildings currently exist in both the City Code as well as
the Zoning Ordinance and should be clarified and regulated through one, not both, of these adopted
documents. Because the relocation of buildings is mostly aland use issue, this process should be
regulated within the Zoning Ordinance. Furthermore, building relocation should be dealt with as a
conditional use permit (CUP) in order to maintain the utmost public safety and quality control
regulations within the City. The razing of buildings is currently a CUP but is proposed to be
handled through the Building Code demolition permit.
Chair Leintz asked if there was anyone present regarding this public hearing. There was no one
present.
Chair closed the public hearing at 9:36 p.m.
MOTION BY Commission member Meza, seconded by Commission member Wagner to amend
the Zoning Text Amendment to Section 1400 - Building Relocation with the exception of Section
1400.2 noted below. Motion carried unanimously.
.
1400.2. Conditional Use Permit Exceptions. The following uses do not need
a Conditional Use Permit:
(a) Relocated sheds, farm buildings, cribs and other farm structures
within one property.
(b) Relocation of construction sheds to be located on a lot for less
than eighteen (18) months.
(c) Residential sheds less than one hundred fifty (150) square feet in area.
Relocated sheds, farm buildings, cribs and other farm structures within one property
do not require a conditional use permit. Relocation of construction sheds to be
located on a lot for less than eighteen (18) months requires no conditional use permit.
SIGN CODE AMENDMENT - SECTION 9.1 - BANNERS, PENNANTS, STREAMERS, STRING OF
LIGHTS, SEARCH LIGHTS
SIGN CODE AMENDMENT - SECTION 10.1.C - COMMERCIAL GROUND SIGNS
Chair Leintz opened the public hearing at 9:36 p.m.
~--_._---_..~---- --
City Planner Brixius shared that as part of the City codification efforts, the following sign ordinance
changes are suggested.
. Banners, Pennants, Streamers, Strings of Lights, Search Lights
73
Upon review of the City's Sign Ordinance it has been noted that the language in Section 9, Subd. 1 ..
regarding the allowance of banners, pennants, streamers, strings of lights and searchlights does not
clearly communicate what is permitted and what is not permitted. The purpose of the ordinance,
which is not clearly communicated, is to restrict this type of signage unless it is related to the "grand
opening" of a new commercial establishment or a variance.
By consensus the Planning Commission recommended amending the maximum area of 250 square
feet for freestanding, commercial ground signs.
Chair Leintz asked if there was anyone present regarding this public hearing. There was no one
present.
Chair closed the public hearing at 10:00 p.m.
MOTION BY Commission member Meza, seconded by Commission member Dorenbush to adopt
the Sign Code Amendment - Section 1 O.I.C - Commercial Ground Signs. Motion carried
unanimously.
