The inpatient hospital will include 80 beds scheduled to open in 2008 following legislative
approval in 2005. Phase II will expand to 260-280 beds.
North Memorial Hospital has conducted a number of surveys. One of the questions asked was
"who would you like to see build a hospital in the area?"
45% of the people surveyed responded North Memorial in November 2004. By February 2005 it
went up to 51 % who would like to see North Memorial build a hospital.
Mr. Pedlar concluded it is in the best interest ofthe public to build an additional hospital facility.

Ed Hackenmueller of Hack's Liquor Store stated they have been in operation for eighteen (18)
years and this is the first violation they have ever received. The attendant has been with Hack's
for a number of years. It was an honest mistake, the attendant looked at the driver's license and
read the date and miscalculated. Mr. Hackenmueller informed the Council he has invested in a
card-visor, which is a machine that reads your driver's license and automatically computes the
age. I have purchased this machine to prevent this from happening again.

court. The park is five (5) years old and is showing some wear; therefore I would like to take
care of it now before it gets too bad.
MOTION BY Council member Klecker, seconded by Council member Berning to approve
accepting C & H Sports Surfaces, Inc. quote of $4,995 to resurface the Oakside Park tennis
court. Motion carried unanimously.

hockey rink area, obtaining soil borings; installation of blacktopping that would be suitable for
7
inline skating, new compost rink boards, and installation of lights at an estimated cost of
$50,000.
.
Council suggested contacting some of the non-profit organizations to survey if they would
consider participating in the construction of the hockey rink project. Council wanted a diagram
layout identifying the size of the hockey rink.
City Attorney Couri stated we could draft a letter of intent for support from the Knights of
Columbus for 10 years.

rink. The Council had no issues regarding a possible change in the layout.

Guimont to proceed obtaining soil borings and quotes or bids for the hockey rink construction at
a cost not to exceed $5,000. Motion carned unanimously.

to find out what they are doing to control mosquitoes. The cities of St. Michael, Rogers and
Rockford do not do anything, with the exception of a special event. Wright Council does not do
anything for mosquito control.
Council directed staff to spray the City Park plus a good radius for the upcoming Friendly City .
Days event in June 2005. During that week we will monitor or observe how successful it was or
was not.

rather the term a "shared facility" was used. The School District will continue to maintain the
ballfields.
Council addressed the $88,470.51 figure. The original amount agreed upon was $60,000 not

for Albert Villas

In
Deric Dueschle, S.E.H. representative, reported that on February 23,2005 the MN Dept. of
Natural Resources issued a Restoration Order to Edina Development for non-compliance with .
the MN Wetland Conservation Act on multiple phases of the Albert Villas development. The
issues related to the wetland replacement sites, and this Order will serve as a new starting point
to recognize and resolve these issues.
Deric Dueschle stated Edina Development has been continuously asked to get the wetland
mitigation plan in place.
City Administrator Kruse informed the Council staff continues to litigate Developer issues with
Edina Development.
The Restoration Order specifically identified the following items as being deficient:
1 st and 2nd Phase:
. Mitigation areas 1m through 5m do not meet the requirements of the approved
replacement plan.
. Deed restrictions and covenants for the mitigation area have not been filed. Council
would like to add: Deed restrictions, an easement of some sort, and covenants. . .
. Additional wetland has been impacted between areas 7f and 8f and requires restoration or
mitigation.
City Attorney Couri understands there were some areas that were wetlands, but were never
recorded. It will or would make it difficult to recover now.
.
Council addressed the issue of sign age indicating the boundary of the wetland buffers have not
been installed. Council wanted signage installed notifying the residents this is a wetland
boundary.
Deric Dueschle brought to the Council's attention that the MN Dept. of Natural Resources has
given Edina Development until June I, 2005 to comply with the Restoration Order.
Council recommended obtaining a Letter of Credit from Edina Development as a retainer.
City Attorney Couri agreed the Letter of Credit would be to the City's advantage should the
Developer not comply and the City needs to take responsibility to correct. But this stage of the
process I do not know if we could obtain the Letter of Credit.
City Attorney Couri added that we did notify Edina Development the City of Albertville will not
approve any building permits effective May 6, 2005.
MOTION BY Council member Klecker, seconded by Councilmember Vetch to approve the
Technical Evaluation Panel's (TEP) recommendation as per their letter dated April 27, 2005
subject to the Developer submitting a concept plan for Albert Villas 7th Addition to the City
Council identifying how placing the wetland mitigation areas will affect the subdivision. Motion .
carried unanimously.

Building demolitions necessary to complete site grading. Conduct compaction
testing for building pad sites in residential areas for issuance of building permits.
MOTION BY Council member Fay, seconded by Council member Klecker to approve S.E.H.'s
recommendation of Change Order No. 1 for Prairie Run for Barn Demolition and Building Pad
Compaction Testing, with payment to be incorporated with the next application for payment.
Motion carried unanimously.
S.E.H. Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) Recommendation for Proposed Hunter's Pass Estates
Deric Dueschle reported Minnesota Land Development is proposing to construct the Hunter's
Pass Estates development on 76.6 acres ofland. All or part of six (6) wetlands are present on the
property, including Mud Lake. The project proposed to fill 1.81 acres of wetland as part of the
development, and will create 1.81 acres of new wetland and 1.81 adjacent upland buffer for
replacement.
1. Wetland delineation was completed by Kelly Dlouhy of Kjolhaug Environmental on
April 21, 2004. This delineation was field reviewed and approved by Todd Udvig from
SEH on May 18, 2004.
2. Project proposes alternative designs that will have reduced wetland impacts. The
alternatives are all identified as unfeasible, primarily due to spacing requirements and
access to adjacent streets and are beyond the ability ofthe applicant to control.
3. Wetland mitigation is proposed to occur through the creation of five wetland mitigation
sites adjacent to Mud Lake (aka Wetland 1). These basins will total1.81 acres in size,
and will have a 30-foot buffer. Additional buffers will also be placed around existing
wetlands. Total buffer areas will equal 1.81 acres of eligible credit, and will be used to
satisfy the minimum 2: 1 replacement ratio.
4. The wetland mitigation areas will be seeded with a Mn/DOT wetland seed mixture and
will follow Mn/DOT seeding and maintenance guidelines. MnJDOT Mixture 25B, as
indicated in the permit application, is acceptable, as are the updated equivalents. BWSR-
recommended wetland mixes that are equivalent to the Mn/DOT mixes may be
substituted without prior approval.
5. Monitoring of the replacement wetlands will be initiated following final construction of
the mitigation sites. Monitoring will be the responsibility of the applicant and reports
must be submitted annually to the City of Albertville and to the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers.
6. Deed restrictions for the wetland replacement areas and upland buffers have been
proposed to be filed prior to construction.
11
7. Signage infonning subsequent land owners of the upland buffer and of restrictions on
land-use within them will be posted at all significant lot comers. Examples of the signage .
have not been provided, but should be approved by the City of Albertville prior to
installation.
It is further recommended that the following conditions be met prior to start of construction.
1. City receives evidence of title and proof of recording of the deed of restrictions and
covenants for all wetland mitigation areas and adjacent buffers.
2. Maps or property descriptions that clearly identify the wetland boundaries, buffer areas,
or mitigation sites be prepared for all future building contractors, realtors, and home
owners so that they are aware of the property restrictions prior to purchase.
3. The applicant must submit proposed wetland buffer signage language, specifications, and
locations for approval prior to installation. It is further recommended that once installed,
the coordinates of the signs be provided to the City of Albertville to assist with regulatory
compliance.
4. Receipt of perfonnance bond, cash escrow, or letter of credit for an amount equal to
$50,680 ($28,000 per acre of wetland credit created) plus an additional $5,000 for
monitoring, or a total of$55,680. These accounts will be drawn upon if the mitigation
sites or wetland monitoring are unsuccessful and the applicant/developer does not
willfully undertake corrective action. The monitoring escrow can be returned at $1,000
annually, until final approval by the TEP. Upon final approval, all funds will be returned
and/or access to letter of credit terminated.
Council directed City Attorney Couri to incorporate the recommendations with the changes in
the Developer's Agreement.
.
City Attorney Couri noted the direction from Council and will include the recommendations with
the changes made in the Hunter's Pass Estates Developer's Agreement.
MOTION BY Council member Berning, seconded by Mayor Peterson to approve S.E.H.'s
Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) Recommendation for the Proposed Hunter's Pass Estates with
the direction for City Attorney Couri to incorporate the recommendations into the Hunter's Pass
Estates Developer's Agreement. Motion carried unanimously.

Council was concerned with the outdoor music. Council has permitted special events in the past,
and residents have expressed their opinion.
Ms. Cole agreed to move the music indoors. They would have a fence around the base with
controlled access in and out of the tent. By that, they would post a bouncer at the outside
entrance under the tent to ensure that a customer does not leave with a beer in hand and begin
walking around the parking lot.

Bar & Grille, along with the surrounding business owners to host a one time Grand Opening
Celebration with the following: D. Michael B's Bar & Grille present a diagram noting the area

different controlled access is approved by the City, the permit applicant must demonstrate that
there will be adequate security at the location of the tent (a bouncer will monitor the access),
permit applicant must have sufficient on and off street parking (cross access parking with the
surrounding businesses is agreed), present a letter to the City from the Country Inn & Suites
agreeing to D. Michael B's hosting the celebration and allowing the customers to park in the

on the Platting of Property and a Moratorium on the Granting of Planned Unit

City Attorney Couri reported that with the City's 1-94 Ramp Project he is recommending
approval of a moratorium on the platting of property within 250 feet of the entrance and exit
ramps ofl-94.
15
City Attorney Couri stated a representative of the Phil Morris property has been before City staff .
a number of times with a variety of plans. The proposed site plans demonstrated an off ramp,
which was not located in the same location that is currently being considered by Council.
City Attorney Couri recommended a moratorium on plans, conditional use permits, and planned
unit development permits for these sites.
The sites noted were: property to the east ofI-94 west and CR 37 exit ramp, otherwise known as
the Phil Morris property, property to the west ofI-94 east and CR 37, a triangular piece of
property east of the Sunrise Commercial Building, located off of CR 37 and 60th Street NE,
otherwise known as where Space Aliens is being considered, property to the south of Phase III of
the Albertville Premium Outlets, and city owned property located on Barthel Industrial Drive
NE.
Council had concern with being a little too restrictive on the property.
City Attorney Couri would rather be on the more restrictive side stating the council may release
some property once it is determined the 1-94 project will not be affected.
MOTION BY Council member Berning, seconded by Mayor Peterson to adopt Ordinance No.
2005-02 (An Interim Ordinance Establishing a Moratorium on the Platting of Property and the

a shredding company to destroy those documents once we have completed the purge. Weare
anticipating that by June 10th the consolidation of the files should be complete. At that time we
will move the building department files into one of the office spaces and remove the temporary
wall in the rear of the building.

The interchange of strategies and solutions
1-
Albertville- Task 2 - Collaboration and communication strategies and proposed activities
In addition to continuing to monitor and track federal funding processes, the next phase
of consultant services the Tinklenberg Group is providing for the City of Albertville
includes implementing the collaboration and communication strategies identified in our
initial proposal. The objectives of this phase of the project are to share project
information, solicit input from public and private stakeholders, to garner support and to
generate a partnership approach to interchange improvements.
A. Collaboration efforts - Proposed activities include:
1. The coordination and facilitation of meetings to discuss the project with public
stakeholders including Otsego, St. Michael, Buffalo, Wright County, Region 7W
and with Mn/DOT District 3 officials and representatives.
2. The coordination of meetings to solicit support from private sector partners
including Chamber of Commerce and individual business owners and land
developers.
3. A public open house in late summer once we have a better sense of the status
of federal funding and the results of the technical design work that is
underway.
B. Public information activities - At the direction and in partnership with city staff, the
information sharing part of this phase will include:
1. Development of stakeholder and target audience lists for information dissemination.
2. Development and update appropriate information resources and project materials.
This could include an interchange project FAQ section for the City's web site, City
newsletter or any other citywide communication outlet.
3. Distribution of project update materials to stakeholders and target audiences.
4. Attend and participate in appropriate public meetings as directed.
5. Develop and implement project supporting events and activities.
C. Internal communication activities
1. Coordinate information sharing with consultants responsible for technical
planning and engineering activities.
2. Ensure timing, content and processing/submittal of Information and materials
is accurate, consistent and packaged appropriately.
3. Attend city council meeting(s) and lor work sessions as needed to provide
information and updates related to planning communication and funding
activities to policy makers.
Timeframe for these activities begins in early May (overlapping phase I activities through
May 31, 2005) and is ongoing throughout the summer and into early fall.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 9,2005
TO: Honorable Mayor, City Council, and City Staff
FROM: Jon Sutherland, Building Official
SUBJECT: APRIL 2005 MONTHLY REPORT
One would think that with Road Restrictions in effect until May 12th, the application for building
permits in would be slow however construction activity is still brisk. We started the part time
summer help 2 days a week to keep up with the permit processing and inspections. The
relocation back to City Hall has worked so well that I can't figure out why we ever moved out in
the first place.
.
Residential Construction Activity: 12 new detached and 7 new attached residential units were
processed resulting in 41 for the year to date (YTD). 28 various residential project permits were
issued resulting in 47 YTD.
Commercial Construction Activity: No new commercial activity this month.
Miscellaneous: 52 miscellaneous permits were issued for Signs, Plumbing, Mechanical, and
Fences.
Inspection Activity: This and existing work in progress generated approximately 180 related
Inspections including Rental Licensing, Complaints and Zoning Enforcement.

Charges for non-routine and reimbursable work are based on hours spent at hourly rates in
effect for the individuals performing the work. The hourly rates for individuals vary according .
to skill and experience. The Schedule of Fees shall apply for the period through 2005. These
50
.
rates may be adjusted annually thereafter to account for changed labor costs, inflation or
changed overhead conditions.
These rates include labor, general business and other normal and customary expenses
associated with operating a professional business. Unless otherwise agreed, the above
rates include vehicle and personal expenses, mileage, telephone, cell phone, survey stakes
and routine expendable supplies; and no separate charges will be made for these activities
and materials. Expenses beyond the agreed scope of services and non-routine expenses,
such as large quantities of prints, out-sourced graphics, document recording fees, and
permit fees will be pre-approved and invoiced separately.
2. A not-to-exceed amount will be furnished to the CLIENT as an addendum to this
Agreement for Basic Services as outlined in Section I.A. of Exhibit I and for specific
improvement projects or services where it is possible to accurately define the extent of
the engineering services that will be required. The addendum shall define the upper
limit of compensation for engineering services on that project unless changes in the
project scope are subsequently made, in which case the cost not-to-exceed value shall
be revised to reflect the applicable changes.
.
3. In general, compensation for services outlined in Sections I.B. and I.C. of Exhibit I shall be
based on the Schedule of Fees listed in Section ill.A. for the time actually spent by the
CONSULTANT. If it is possible to accurately define the extent of the engineering services that
will be required, a not-to-exceed amount will be provided to the CLIENT.
B. The payment to the CONSULTANT will be made by the CLIENT upon billing at intervals not
more often than monthly at the herein rates.
SECTION IV - GENERAL
A. STANDARD OF CARE
Professional services provided under this Agreement will be conducted in a manner consistent
with that level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the Consultant's profession
currently practicing under similar conditions. No warranty, express or implied, is made.
B. CHANGE IN PROJECT SCOPE
In the event the CLIENT changes or is required to change the scope of the project from that
described in Section I and/or the applicable addendum, and such changes require Additional
Services by the CONSULTANT, the CONSULTANT shall be entitled to additional compensa-
tion at the applicable hourly rates. The CONSULTANT shall give notice to the CLIENT of any
Additional Services, prior to furnishing such additional services. The CLIENT may request an
estimate of additional cost from the CONSULTANT, and upon receipt of the request, the
CONSULTANT shall furnish such, prior to authorization of the changed scope of work.
. C. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
51
CONSULTANT shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CLIENT and its officials, agents .
and employees from any loss, claim, liability, and expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees
and expenses of litigation) arising from, or based in the whole, or in any part, on any negligence
act or omission by CONSULTANT'S employees, agents, or subconsultants. In no event shall
CLIENT be liable to CONSULTANT for punitive damages.
CLIENT shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CONSULTANT and its employees from
any loss, claim, liability, and expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses of
litigation) arising from, or based in the whole, or in any part, on any negligence act or omission
by CLIENT'S employees, agents, or consultants. In no event shall CONSULTANT be liable to
CLIENT for punitive damages.

changes, copies of documents that may be relied upon by CLIENT are limited to the printed
copies (also known as hard copies) that are signed or sealed by CONSULTANT. Except for
electronic/digital data which is specifically identified as a project deliverable by this
AGREEMENT or except as otherwise explicitly provided in this AGREEMENT, all
electronic/digital data developed by the CONSULTANT as part of the PROJECT is acknowl-
edged to be an internal working document for the CONSULTANT'S purposes solely and any
such information provided to the CLIENT shall be on an "AS IS" basis strictly for the conve-

acquire an ownership interest in all identified deliverables, including Plans and Specifications,
for any reasonable use relative to the Project and the general operations of the CLIENT.
CLIENT may make and disseminate copies for information and reference in connection with the
use and maintenance of the Project by the CLIENT. However, such documents are not intended

time of termination, computed in accordance with Section III of this Agreement.
M. CONTINGENT FEE

Re: General Update
1.) XCEL ENERGY FRANCHISE: We continue to work with Xcel Energy on renewal of
their Franchise Agreement. This effort is taking longer as we are negotiating making the
Franchise Agreement compatible with our proposed Right of Way Ordinance, which will
be adopted in the Ordinance Codification. We continue to propose the League's model
and hope to bring an agreement to the Council in the next 60 days.
.
2.) PILOTI KENCOI KENT ROESSLER LLC: On Friday, May 9,2005, we concluded
our settlement with Kent Roessler as per our earlier agreed upon $165,000. Although I
wish it could have been more, City Attorney Couri states that we did very well
considering the age of the delinquency and all of the complex history involved. I want to
first thank the Council for your support through this effort and City Attorney Mike Couri
and Pete Carlson for their significant effort resolving this issue. We can now focus our
attention on Edina Development and strive to resolve this one by the end of 2005.
3.) HUNTER'S PASS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT: We have been meeting with the
Developer and working through a number of issues including the amount the Developer
will pay towards 70th Street and MacIver. If all goes as planned, the Final Plat and
Developer's Agreement will be on the June 6th Council agenda.
4.) MUNICIPAL STATE AID: I contacted the State Demographer and received an email
confirming that we have eclipsed the 5,000 population mark. I emailed City Engineer
Mark Kasma and requested him to develop a proposal to get Albertville approved as soon
as possible.
5.) WELCOME FURNITUREI DARKENW ALD REAL EST ATE ASSESSMENTS:
A couple years ago when the 67th Street Improvements were installed, John Darkenwald
sold land to Welcome Furniture. At closing, Welcome Furniture's assessments were to be
paid in full, but instead the $125,000 was applied towards John Darkenwald's Lots. This
past year, I have been working with Wes at Welcome Furniture to resolve this issue. Last
year Mr. Darkenwald paid Welcome's assessment, and now I have gained everyone's
consensus to reassign the remaining assessment from Welcome Furniture's lot to John
Darkenwald's three lots as follows:
.
Lot 2, Block 1,
$17,769.61
61
Lot 3, Block 1,
Lot 4, Block 1,
$17,078.44
$35,539.22
.
Welcome furniture will pay the current assessment and effective 2006; Darkenwald will
be responsible for the remaining assessments. Mr. Darkenwald has a purchase agreement
to sell his three lots in the near future. If that happens, then he would pay them off early.
Financially, the 5.2% interest is a good rate of return, and makes financial sense for the
City.
6.) DOWNTOWN RAILROAD RIGHT OF WAY: Last week, I was finally able to get a
representative from Stauback Company representing the Railroad to review my October
2004 request to purchase 50 feet of right-of-way on the north side of the tracks adjoining
the new City Hall; the areas adjoining the 152 Club and some additional property on the
south side of the tracks by the Coop. Roger and I had a good meeting and I will continue
to encourage them to proceed as quickly as possible as some of our new City Hall
decisions are impacted by these outcomes.
Jamie Stevens from the Albertville Body Shop may have approached some of you
regarding this issue. Roger from the Stauback Company was a little blunt in a response
to Jamie who approached Roger and me as we toured the property. Roger expressed to
Jamie his desire to not work with them as they have been trespassing for 45 years, and
would in the future be working only with the City. I tried to soften this by saying we
would keep Jamie in the loop as we gathered more information.
.
Jamie expressed a couple ofthings. First he expressed interest in acquiring the railroad
property to construct a small office building and also stated that if the City purchased the
railroad property and not allow parking, that he would expect damages, as the parking is
essential to his business.
I am hopeful as we gather additional information we can resolve these issues to the
satisfaction of the neighborhood. Perhaps as directed in our Comprehensive Plan we need
to pursue a downtown parking lot.
I mentioned to Jamie that it is my position that the City needs to purchase his 4,000
square feet and work with the neighborhood on the parking and other issues. More
information and discussion will be forthcoming.
7.) DOWNTOWN RENOVATION
I met with Dave Maroney, from Community Partners and reviewed the Councils' desire
to remove the elevator and provide an opportunity to redevelop some of the downtown.
Dave will be putting together a proposal to first facilitate a discussion with the downtown
stakeholders about redevelopment opportunities. We basically have two tools, a Tax
Increment Redevelopment District, which is directed toward dilapidated and blighted
buildings and a TIF Renewal District, which is less restrictive. I will keep you advised as
we learn more.

CITY OF ALBERTVILLE
COUNTY OF WRIGHT
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION NO. 2005-17
A RESOLUTION ON TRANSPORTATION PRIORITY
WHEREAS, too many Minnesotans unnecessarily lose time and money due to traffic gridlock:
Metropolitan area drivers each absorb a "congestion tax" of over $700 per year, and collectively
waste over 93 million gallons of fuel annually; and
WHEREAS, one million additional people are expected to live in metropolitan region in the
next two decades, further exacerbating our already unacceptable traffic congestion; and
WHEREAS, Minnesota's investment in roads and transit continues to fall behind our peer
metropolitan regions in the United States; and
WHEREAS, congested and unsafe roads hinder economic prosperity, erode quality of life, and
complicate numerous aspects oflife in Minnesota: parents spend less time with their kids and
more time in traffic, emergency vehicles take longer to respond, and truckloads of consumer
goods increase in price as commercial vehicles are unduly delayed moving freight from origin to
destination; and
WHEREAS, solving our transportation problem is a complex and long-term challenge that will
require various strategies; and
WHEREAS, Minnesota needs to adequately and strategically expand both its transit system and
roads with predictable, accountable, and long-term funding sources; and
WHEREAS, new transportation financing must prioritize public transit within a comprehensive,
multi-modal, interconnected transportation system that serves the II-county metro area; and that
light rail and commuter rail lines, along with expanded bus service, be expanded to support the
population and businesses in our fast-growing region; and
WHEREAS, urgent, courage and visionary leadership is vital to forging a sustainable, long-term
transportation plan for out state and region. This leadership must drive progress on such a long-
range plan and maintain accountability for the process to the public.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, as elected leaders representing cities in Minnesota's
fast-growing II-county metropolitan region, we hereby declare our belief that transportation has
become one of the most vexing problems facing our communities and state and requires urgent
attention from our state's leaders. We call upon the leaders in the legislative and executive
branches to create a long-term solution to our transportation needs, and to do so in the 2005
legislative session.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
P ARKSIDE COMMERCIAL PUD/CUP AND SITE AND BUILDING PLAN REVIEW
Chair Leintz opened the public hearing at 7:03 p.m.
City Planner Brixius stated that Premier Development Group, LLC has submitted an application
for approval for a CUP-PUD along with a Site and Building Plan Review ofthree office
buildings within the site. June 2004 a similar plan was presented to the Planning and Zoning
Commission, which was withdrawn by Kent Roessler.
City Planner Brixius went on to explain the site area is 232,181 square feet or 5.33 acres and is
located west of County Road 19 and north of 57th Street NE. The site is zoned B2-A, Special
Business District, which is surrounded by residential uses to the south and west; there are
commercial uses north and east.
69
City Planner Brixius informed the Planning and Zoning Commission the original Preliminary .
Plat was approved in March 2000. Casey's General Store was approved in 2001 as a CUP. The
proposed plan development shares access with Casey's. A condition of approval will be a shared
access easement agreement.
City Planner Brixius reported the use is an office condominium. The developer is proposing that
the building be managed through an office condominium arrangement. The types of businesses
that will be located within the site are: medical, dental, etc.
City Planner Brixius discussed the existing large dirt pile, which exists due to the grading
completed as part of the Casey's building to the east. City Planner Brixius reported the berm
will be removed and the developer is proposing to keep the existing spruce trees on the western
portion of the site and plant an additional row of trees. A total of24 new spruce trees of between
6- feet and 8- feet tall are proposed. In addition to the trees, 13 new ornamental deciduous trees
are proposed near the rear windows of the office complex.
City Planner Brixius reviewed the two trash enclosures that have been identified on the site. One
of the enclosures is located between buildings 2 and 3; the other one is located on the western
portion of building 1.
City Planner Brixius pointed out the applicant has identified two locations for monument
signage. According to the Sign Ordinance, not more than one (1) ground sign shall be permitted
on any lot. The applicant is looking for flexibility in order to allow two (2) ground signs on one .
lot. The signs will be limited to 12-feet in height and 80 square-feet of overall sign face. A
Comprehensive Sign Plan including proposed design, size, height, setbacks and lighting must be
submitted and reviewed under a separate sign permit.
City Planner Brixius researched the Park and Trail Dedication, which were approved during the
final plat stage in 2000. Therefore, no park dedication will be required as part of this PUD
application.
City Planner Brixius concluded that the proposed plan is generally consistent with the Zoning
Ordinance. Should the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of the
CUP/PUD/Site and Building Plan Review, the following conditions are required as part of that
approval:
10. A shared access easement agreement shall be entered into with Casey's.
11. The landscaping plan shall be revised to include the following:
e. Black Hills Spruce shall be planted fifteen (15) feet apart in staggered rows and
shall be 6-8 feet tall on the western portion of the site area.
f. Additional species and quantities of plantings shall be provided in the
northeastern and southwestern portion of the plan.
g. A cross-section plan of the western portion of the site shall be submitted for City
review and approval. .
70
.
h. All parking islands shall be raised. Additional landscaping planting islands shall
be required within the striped areas at the perimeter of each parking area.
12. Uses within the buildings shall be limited to professional offices, clinics, and personal
and on-site services. No outdoor storage shall be allowed within the site.
13. The grading, drainage, and utility plans shall be subject to comments found in the City
Engineer's report dated March 31, 2005.
14. Monument signage shall be limited to no more than two signs that are no more than
twelve (12) feet in height and are no more than eighty (80) square feet of sign face. A
separate sign permit will be required for this application. Approval of this application
shall not constitute sign permit approval.
15. All light poles shall not exceed twenty (20) feet in height. All lights shall be at 90-degree
cutoff.
16. The Common Interest Community (CIC) declarations, by-laws, and related association
documents shall be subject to the review and approval of the City Attorney.
17. The applicant shall enter into a Development Agreement with the City and shall be
subject to the review and approval of the City Attorney.
. 18. Additional comments from City staff, Planning Commission, and City Council.
Chair Leintz asked if there was anyone present regarding the CUP/PUD/Site and Building Plan
Review.
Roger Fink, Vice-President of Premier Development Group, LLC addressed the Commission
members informing them he has been in contact with the abutting property owners to the rear of
the proposed buildings. Mr. Fink demonstrated to the property owners how the layout height of
the buildings is proposed. Mr. Fink handed letters to the City Planner for public record and to be
placed in the file. Mr. Fink noted that four (4) of the property owners were pleased with the
layout and landscaping.
Commission members wanted to know if there is the possibility to restrict the users of the office
condominiums.
Mr. Fink is hoping the City will not be too restrictive. Should a business come forth to lease or
own a store and he or she is turned away because it does not meet the restrictions of the
Developer's Agreement.
Mr. Fink presented a rendering for the Commission members to get an idea of what the view
would be for the residents on Kalland Avenue.
.
71
Mr. Fink shared with the Commission members they are proposing a board-on-board .
fence/screening between the buildings to screen any parked vehicles and filtering of headlights.
Mr. Fink brought to the Commission member's attention the fire hydrants. The applicant is
proposing three (3) additional fire hydrants to service the buildings. There was a suggestion to
add a fourth hydrant. The applicant feels three (3) hydrants are sufficient to service the site. The
buildings themselves will be sprinkled.
Commission members asked about snow removal and storage.
Mr. Fink demonstrated that off to the north of the site there is a wetland area.
Commission members commented on the 167 parking stalls for the site. That is a large amount
of traffic going in and out of the site with only one (1) access. Is there any possibility to get an
access point off of CR 19?
City Planner Brixius stated there is a detention pond existing to the north where there would be
the best location for the access off of CR 19.
A Commission member complimented and thanked the Mr. Fink for taking the time to contact
the property owners and discuss the proposed site plan.
A Commission member had a concern in regards to the height of the building and the monument .
sign located off of 57th Street.
Forty-eight (48) square-feet per tenant for signage allowed. City Planner Brixius would review
the signage to be presented at the May 10, 2005 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.
A Commission member wanted to know if the monument sign would be illuminated, if so it
would need to be put on a timer.
Commission members addressed the restriction of the office condominium. Would they be
included in the Developer's Agreement?
City Planner Brixius shared with the Commission members some examples of what the City
could restrict on the site: no outdoor storage, no sidewalk sales, and no window signage.
Commission members did not see the need for the fourth (4) fire hydrant on the site. A
Commission member would like to see the sidewalk continue along to the side of the building to
the trash receptacles, and to 5ih Street to meet up with the existing sidewalk.
Chair Leintz closed the public hearing at 7:49 p.m.
MOTION BY Commission member Wagner, seconded by Commission member Dorenbush to
approve the public hearing for the Site and Building Plan Review for Parkside Commercial.

CUP/PUD approval at the May 10, 2005 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. Motion
carried unanimously.
OTHER BUSINESS
QUALITY TITLE OFFICE BUILDING SITE AND BUILDING PLAN REVIEW
City Planner Brixius stated that Mainstream Properties, LLC has submitted an application for site
and building plan review to construct an office building located on the comer ofCR 19 and 53rd
Street in Albertville. The site is currently vacant and the applicant is proposing to develop a two-
story complex.
City Planner Brixius addressed the concern regarding the parking and circulation noting the
Zoning Ordinance requires three spaces plus at least one space for each 200 square feet of floor
area. The applicant is proposing 10,310 square feet of floor area for both floors. The calculation
required for offices will need 49 stalls for the site.
City Planner Brixius reported the plan shows that the parking stalls are 9 feet by 18 feet. The
Albertville Zoning Ordinance requires that stalls be 9 feet by 20 feet. As a condition of
approval, the applicant will be required to modify the length of the parking stalls to meet the
requirement of the Zoning Ordinance.
City Planner Brixius shared that the applicant is proposing a curb cut onto Kyler Avenue to the
west as well as a curb cut connecting the site to the Shoppes at Prairie Run to the south. As a
condition of approval, the applicant will be required to provide a cross access easement with the
Shoppes at Prairie Run. The overall circulation plan is acceptable, however, is subject to the
review of the City Engineer.
City Planner Brixius went over the signage proposed for the site, because ofthe buildings'
location on a comer lot, additional signage may be acceptable. Not more than one sign shall be
permitted on the front wall of any principal building. The City has allowed additional wall
signage for multi tenant buildings provided that a comprehensive sign plan and sign permit is
reviewed and approved by the City. At this time there is no monument signage proposed.
City Planner Brixius concluded that the proposed plan is generally consistent with the Zoning
Ordinance. If the Planning Commission recommends approval of the site and building plan, staff
would recommend that the following conditions be required as part of that approval:
1. The applicant shall revise the size of the building to meet the required setbacks and/or apply
for a variance to allow for the building to encroach into the required setback area.
2. All parking stalls shall be nine (9) feet by twenty (20) feet.
3. The applicant shall be required to provide a cross access easement with the Shoppes at
Prairie Run to the south.
4. The grading and drainage plan shall be subject to the review and approval of the City
Engineer.
73
11. All landscaping shall be required to be irrigated with a one-year landscaping guarantee. .
12. The applicant shall submit details of the trash enclosure. The exterior materials of the
trash enclosure shall consist with those used for the main building.
13. The applicant shall submit a lighting and photometric plan for review of the City.
14. The applicant will be required to apply for a sign permit for all signs proposed for the
building.
15. A development agreement shall be entered into between the Developer and the City.
16. Additional comments from City staff, Planning Commission and City Council.
Chair Leintz asked if there was anyone present regarding the Quality Title Office Building Site
and Building Plan Review.
The applicant Al Kinghorn commented on the site and building plan in regards to the proposed
lighting, which will be down cast lighting.
Mr. Kinghorn wanted to bring to the Planning and Zoning Commission members attention the
building will be known as "Quality Title" building. There will be additional signage in the
appropriate location on the building to identify the names of the businesses located within.
Mr. Kinghorn addressed the stairwell, which is now located within the building not as an
attached stairwell proposed on the site plans.
.
City Planner Brixius stated the site and building plans would be presented at a future meeting.
LANDSCAPING GROUND COVER DISCUSSION
City Planner Brixius shared with the Planning and Zoning Commission members at the City
Council meeting on February 22,2005; the use of hydro seeding was discussed. Since then we
have drafted an amendment to Section 1000.7 Subd. (b) and Section 1000.7, Subd. ( c) City
Planner Brixius stated the changes have been made to the sodding requirements to reflect current
City practices and hydro seeding is a new component of the landscape requirements.
City Planner Brixius added this is for discussion only, if the Commission finds it acceptable we
will bring present it as a public hearing at the May 10, 2005 meeting.
Commission member suggested rewording A.c) The yard in lieu of sodding may be seeded and
mulched provided it has an underground sprinkler system which covers 100% of the yard and silt
fence installed on the non-sodded perimeter boundary and a cash escrow is established with the
City equal to one and one half times the estimated cost of ground cover or a minimum of $3,000,
whichever is more plus a $75.00 non-refundable Administrative Fee.
.
74
.
.
.
City Planner Brixius confirmed this will then be scheduled for the May 10, 2005 Planning and
Zoning Commission Agenda.
REST AURANT PARKING DISCUSSION
City Planner Brixius shared with the Planning and Zoning Commission members it was brought
to the City Council's attention the current zoning ordinance in regards to off-street parking for
restaurants may be inadequate. Staff proceeded to evaluate current parking standards against
industry standards.
Staff discovered according to Albertville City Ordinance, off-street parking requirements for
drive-in establishments and convenience food provides one (1) parking space for each thirty-five
square feet of gross floor area of service and dining area, but not less than fifteen (15) spaces.
Two (2) additional parking spaces shall be added for drive through service facilities and one (1)
space for each eighty-(80) square-feet ofkitchenlstorage area.
City Planner Brixius reported that based on national standards, the current Ordinance for off-
street parking stall requirements for restaurants are sufficient. No action to increase parking is
recommended at this time.
BANNER SIGNS DISCUSSION
City Planner Brixius stated that staff was directed by Council to analyze current usage of
permanent signage in comparison to use of banner signage for select sites in Albertville. The
purpose of the sign ordinance is to establish regulations governing advertising and business signs
in the City. The regulations are intended to permit an efficient, effective and aesthetic means to
communicate using on and off premise signage while recognizing the need to maintain an
attractive and appealing appearance in the community, including the appearance along streets
and property used for commercial, industrial and public development and the air space above and
between such development.
City Planner Brixius reported that staffhas taken an inventory and analysis of signage use for
Main Avenue Businesses. The one (1) business that is utilizing their amount of sign age is "Geez
Sports Bar". City staffhas scheduled a meeting for Wednesday, April 13th to review the analysis
with the Main Avenue Businesses.
Commission members wanted to know if we allow the Main Avenue Businesses to put additional
signage on their facility, how do you prevent other businesses from putting additional signage on
their building.
City Planner Brixius informed the Commission members that R.J. Development had a
Comprehensive Sign Plan for the buildings. The banner signs are not allowed in the
Comprehensive Sign Plan.
City Planner Brixius concluded with the following recommendations:
75
l) Over reliance on temporary banner signage
.
2) Under utilization of front wall signage square footage (with the exception of Geez's
Sports Bar & Grill)
3) Spectators Grille & Bar violates current sign ordinance under pun standards
4) Location of banner signs on the downtown business area are often obscured from
view by on-street parking
City Planner Brixius stated that in addition to the above recommendations, staff feels it is
necessary to regulate banner signage size, location and number. Besides being an aesthetic
nuisance, when placed adjacent to on-street parking, banners become hidden when vehicles
utilize parking stalls.
If the City intends to allow banner signage we suggest:
l) Temporary signage be permitted if framed in a permanent, interchangeable case or a
reader board (see Casey's General Store, Exhibit A). The total front wall signage area and
banner signage area must not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the total front wall area.
2) An amendment be drafted for the Albertville Crossing pun to include temporary signage
text for Spectators Grille & Bar.
.
ACCESSORY BUILDINGS - DETACHED GARAGES
City Planner Brixius brought to the Commission members attention a resident would like to build
a detached garage. City Planner Brixius stated that as the City's Zoning Ordinance reads, "a
resident is allowed one attached or detached garage".
City Planner Brixius asked the Commission members if they would consider amending the
Ordinance. City Planner Brixius suggested changing it to "if you can fit it on your lot and meet
the setbacks, set the standard maximum to be 1 ,000 square feet.
Commission members took no action to amend the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Accessory
Building or Detached Garages at this time.
City Planner Brixius concluded to proceed with the application. It will be on the May lO, 2005
Planning & Zoning Commission agenda for Public Hearing of a Conditional Use Permit to allow
the detached garage on the site.
UPCOMING ApPLICATIONS
City Planner Brixius briefly informed the Commission members of possible upcoming
applications.
Staff has met with Pat Briggs to discuss a proposed apartment building located on County Road
37 next to the Albertville Meadows apartment complex. Mr. Briggs is asking to re-zone the lot .
76
.
.
.
for high density. A concept plan will be presented at the next Planning & Zoning Commission
meeting.
City Planner Brixius reported Albertville Crossings 3rd Addition or known, as LaBeaux Station
will be coming in for review at the May 2005 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting.
City Planner Brixius stated the last apglication that could be coming up is a triangular site
located off of County Road 37 and 60 Street NE. The applicant is proposing a restaurant called
"Space Aliens". City Planner Brixius encouraged the Commission members to call him with any
questions or concerns to take into consideration as staff reviews the site and building plans prior
to the May 2005 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting.
ADJOURNMENT
MOTION BY Commission member Dorenbush, seconded by Commission member Meza to
