STMA SOCCER FUNDING REQUEST
STMA Girls and Boys High School Soccer Program requested funding to updating the old high
school football field at Community Ed. to be used as the new home of STMA Soccer. As of
May 2nd the school board passed our request for bleachers, a clock, a P A system and half the cost
to power the field with lights. Unfortunately the cost to light the Community Education Field is .
$60,000. The STMA Soccer Club has already received over $17,000 in donations from various
organizations including STMA Soccer Club, Boys and Girls Varsity Booster Club, and Hanover
Athletic Association. Most recently the City ofSt. Michael pledged $7,000 to this project and the
STMA Soccer Club were hoping for a similar contribution from the City of Albertville.

PLANNING
Anderson Detached Garage - Conditional Use Permit
City Planner Brixius reported the subject property is zoned "R-1", Residential Single-Family. A
conditional use permit is required for more than one (1) detached or attached private garage for .
each single-family dwelling. The applicant is seeking to add a detached garage to his property.
4
.
.
.
The detached garage will be used as storage space and will be located directly behind the
existing house measuring six hundred (600) square feet in area. The applicant's existing two
hundred (200) square foot attached garage will remain and be converted into bedroom living
space.
City Planner Brixius stated the applicant has indicated that the side yard setbacks will be thirty-
five (35) feet to the west property line and thirty-five (35) feet to the east property line.
City Planner Brixius concluded that according to the Zoning Ordinance for accessory buildings,
the rear setback shall not be less than ten (10) feet. The submitted application has not indicated
dimension of the rear setback. With the exception of the rear setback, the proposal appears to
meet the City's requirements for garage construction.
Action Requested. Following a public hearing, the Planning Commission may consider one of
the following actions:
1. Approval of the CUP, based on a finding that the proposed garage is consistent with the
requirements of the zoning ordinance, subject to compliance with the setback standards.
2. Denial of the CUP, based on a finding that the proposed location is inconsistent with the
zoning requirements for setback.
RECOMMENDATION
Planning staff recommends approval of the CUP. The garage appears to be consistent with the
City's regulations relating to such structures. This recommendation would include the following
conditions:
1. Location of the garage meets the zoning standards for setbacks and does not interfere
with septic drain field.
2. Garage construction is consistent with the architecture and materials of the existing
home.
3. Garage will not be used for business or home occupation.
City Planner Brixius presented the Findings of Fact looking for the City Council's
recommendation and approval of the Anderson Conditional Use Permit for the addition of a
detached garage.
Findings of Fact: Based on the review of the application and documentation received, the City
Council presents the following findings of fact:
A. The property is located at 11808 50th Street NE and is zoned "R-l ", Residential Single-
family.
B. The planning report dated May 5, 2005 from Northwest Associated Consultants, along
with the engineering report dated April 8, 2005 from SEH were reviewed and presented
to the Planning Commission.
C. The Planning Commission reviewed the application of a public hearing and recommended
that the City Council approve the application with the condition outlined in the Planner's
5
May 5, 2005 report. .
D. The property is zoned "R-l", Residential Single-family, which requires a CUP for more
than one (1) attached or detached garage per single-family lot.
E. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not
overburden the City's service capacity.
F. Traffic generated by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the property
as proposed.
G. The requirements of the Albertville Zoning Ordinance have been reviewed in relation to
proposed plans.
H. The proposed actions have been considered in relation to the specific policies and
provisions of and have been found to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
1. The proposed development will be compatible with present and future land uses of the
area.
J. The proposed use conforms to all applicable Zoning Ordinance performance standards.
K. The proposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed.
Decision: The City Council moves to approve the CUP based on the above information and
detailed plans submitted by the applicant to date subject to the following conditions:
1. Garage meets setbacks required by the R -1 district.
2. The garage will not be used for business or home occupation.
3. The driveway grading shall be subject to the City Engineer's review and comments.
4. Additional comments from City staff, Planning Commission, and City Council.
.
City Planner Brixius informed the Council the applicant was present to answer any questions
they may have.
Mr. Anderson stated it is a narrow J;4 of an acre right off of 50th Street NE; a full acre abutting the
J;4 acre.
Council asked if it is a shared driveway with the owners to the east.
Mr. Anderson confirmed it is a shared driveway with the owners. Mr. Anderson has been
inquiring with the landowners to the southwest. It is a couple that resides in Iowa. They want to
give it to their children as a future vacation spot up north.
MOTION BY Council member Vetsch, seconded by Council member Klecker to approve the
Anderson Detached Garage - Conditional Use Permit as presented. Motion carried.
Albertville Crossings 3rd LaBeaux Station - Commercial Conditional Use PermitIPlanned Unit
Development - Site and Building Plan Review - Preliminary Plat
City Planner Brixius informed the City Council that Cascade II Land Company, LLC has
submitted an application for Preliminary Plat and Conditional Use Permit / Planned Unit
Development for the development of Outlot A, Park View Place. The site is located north of 57th
Street NE and immediately east of Albertville Crossings 3rd Addition. The area is currently
zoned B-2. .
6
.
.
.
The property area consists of 8.17 acres. The proposal involves developing the area to include a
pharmacy with drive-thru, office space, and five restaurants, which include traditional sit-down
restaurants and fast-food restaurants. A CUP/PUD is necessary to accommodate having multiple
commercial buildings on a lot and shared access and parking facilities.
Access to the development will occur off of 57th Street NE via an extension of Lachman Avenue
NE in the center of the building, as well as the northern curb cut for Lot 1, Block 1. Lachman
Avenue NE is considered a commercial street and was required to align with Coborn's to the
south, which it does. A service drive on the western portion of Block 1 is also identified and a
shared access easement will be required for that area. A new curb cut is proposed for access to
Lot 2, Block 2.
City Planner Brixius stated the applicant has submitted a plan that identifies truck traffic and
vehicle traffic circulation throughout the site. As a condition of approval, the signage must
direct truck traffic deliveries off of Lachman Avenue. One-way truck maneuverability works
around the north side of Lot 1, however, the truck turning radius for Lots 2,3, and 4 are
inadequate. Below are review comments for each lot and block within the development.
Lot 2, Block 1. Access to this lot will be accommodated via the extension of Lachman Avenue
NE. Staff would recommend that three northernmost parking stalls located immediately north of
the building be limited so as to not conflict with the drive aisle further north. Instead of parking
stalls, the applicant should provide a raised landscaped island within that area.
Lot 1, Block 2. Access to this lot will be accommodated via Lachman Avenue NE. The
drive-isles are between 20 and 22 feet and therefore; do not meet the minimum
requirements of the Ordinance. All stripped areas identified within this site should be
raised and curbed. The overall area must be redesigned to accommodate truck traffic
within the site for deliveries and trash removal.
Lot 2, Block 2. Access to this lot will be accommodated via a curb cut off of 57th Street NE. A
trash enclosure and loading zone is proposed east of the curb cut, however, this location will not
accommodate a sufficient turning radius for larger trucks, as shown on the plan. To
accommodate larger deliveries, the loading and trash enclosure should be located on the northern
portion of the site. Like the other lots, the drive aisle does not conform to the minimum
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The drive aisle within this area is 22 feet.
City Planner Brixius reported after review of the applicant's submittal, staff would recommend
approval of the CUP/PUD subject to the conditions outlined herein. The plan offers a mix of
retail, office, and restaurant opportunities and will be designed to reflect other uses within the
City.
City Planner Brixius noted the overall parking that the applicant is proposing exceeds the
minimum requirements for parking, however, the design of the parking area will be problematic
due to limited drive isles and parking off of proposed access roads within Block 1.
7
There are 80 parking stalls identified within Lot 1, Block 1 and 93 parking stalls located within .
Lot 2, Block 1. Traffic maneuverability issues exist within this area as several parking stalls are
planned adjacent to the service drive inthe center of the block. Vehicles backing out from
parking stalls will interrupt traffic from that drive isle.
City Planner Brixius stated the Findings of Fact is based on review of the application and
evidence received; the City Council now makes the following finding of fact and decision:
A. The property is located north of 57th Street NE and immediately east of Albertville
Crossings 3rd Addition.
B. The planning report dated May 5, 2005 from Northwest Associated Consultants as
well as the engineering report dated May 4,2005 from Bolton & Menk, Inc. were
reviewed and presented to the Planning Commission.
C. The Planning Commission held a public hearing and reviewed the application.
Upon completion of their review, the Planning Commission has recommended to
the City Council approval of the application subject to the conditions outlined in
these findings.
D. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not
overburden the City's service capacity.
E. Traffic generated by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the
property as proposed.
F. The requirements of the Albertville Zoning Ordinance have been reviewed in .
relation to proposed plans.
G. The proposed actions have been considered in relation to the specific policies and
provisions of and have been found to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
H. The proposed development will be compatible with present and future land uses of
the area.
1. The proposed use conforms to all applicable Zoning Ordinance performance
standards.
J. The proposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is
proposed.
Decision: Based on the foregoing information and applicable ordinances, the City Council
APPROVES the Preliminary Plat and PUD/CUP based on the most current plans and
information received to date subject to the following conditions:
Preliminary Plat
1. The north end of Lachman Avenue NE be flared to the east to accommodate the
alignment of this street with Lachman Avenue NE at 60th Street NE. The City Engineer
will identify the specific street right-of-way alignment.
2. Lot 1, Block 2 be enlarged to increase the amount of on-site parking for the restaurant.
3. Ten foot drainage and utility easements shall be required along the perimeter of the plat.
4. Developer and City will enter into a development agreement that allows parking over the

.
parking area to maintain or repair this utility. All parking lot repair or replacement shall
be the property owner's responsibility and expense.
5. The applicant shall establish recordable easements separate from the preliminary plat for
shared access and parking across the lots. Said easements shall be subject to review and
approval of the City Attorney.
6. The plat shall pay the required parkland dedication of$7,500 per acre with the final plat.
The City Council shall decide if some land dedication will be required in addition to a
cash contribution.
7. The applicant shall extend a sidewalk along the north side of 57th Street NE and the west
side of Lachman Avenue NE. All sidewalks shall also link into the parking lots and
pedestrian ways within the site.
Planned Unit Development
1. Establish cross access and parking easements across the plat.

Lots 2, 3, and 4 without interfering with parking stalls, curb islands, and buildings.
c. Parking for Lot 1, Block 1 will be calculated using the shopping center parking
ratio of 5.5 stalls per 1,000, requiring 72 parking stalls. Lot 2, Block 1 shall be
required to provide 74 parking stalls. The excess parking supply shall be eliminated
to increase green space, additional landscape islands, and improve truck circulation
patterns.
d. Additional disability parking stalls in Lot 2, Block 1.
e. All striped areas in the parking lots shall be parking islands with raised curb.
4. Drive- Thru Lane

c. A development agreement shall be required and prepared by the City Attorney.
d. Pedestrian access into the site from public sidewalks.
After the City Council meeting, Council member Berning asked Mr. Brixius to check if it may be .
appropriate for the City to request a parkland dedication from the LaBeaux Station plat.
The northeast comer of the LaBeaux Station plat contains a limited amount of non-wetland
property that abuts the City's park and fire station. This appears to be a logical extension of the
existing park and is not intended to be developed through the LaBeaux Station development.
The size of the upland area is roughly 9,300i: square feet. Field inspection reveals that this land
has a rolling topography that slopes to wetlands to the south and west. The size and physical
condition of the property will limit its use.
The City Council should provide the staff direction as to whether this land dedication is wanted.
If the land is taken, we must establish a land value that would be credited against the applicant's
park cash contribution.
City Planner Brixius stated the Dan Green is present to address any questions or concerns the
Council has regarding this site.
Council asked Mr. Green about the sidewalk placement.
Mr. Green informed the Council a 5-foot sidewalk will be placed along Lachman Avenue NE
and 57th Street NE.
.
10
.
.
.
Mr. Green then reported the signage within the parking lot will be re-configured to allow for the
trucks circulation.
MOTION BY Council member Berning, seconded by Council member Klecker to approve the
Albertville Crossings 3rd LaBeaux Station - Commercial Conditional Use PermitIPlanned Unit
Development - Site and Building Plan Review - Preliminary Plat as amended and filed in the
office of the City Clerk. Motion carried unanimously.
Westwind Third Addition-Briggs Properties - Planned Unit Development (PUD)-Concept Plan
City Planner Brixius reported in January of this year, Briggs Properties approached the City to
inquire if the remaining vacant 4.25-acre parcel of the Westwind PUD was available for the
development of a high-density apartment project. In response to their inquiry, we sent them
documentation ofthe site's history. This history reveals that in 1996, the City approved a
Comprehensive Plan amendment changing the land use for the site from high density residential
to medium density residential.
City staff informed the applicant this change in the Land Use Plan was precipitated by a
development request by Komovich Development Company Inc. that proposed 40 town home
units for the site. The City Council agreed with the reduction in density and approved the
Comprehensive Plan change.
Currently, the site remains zoned PUD and in consideration of a development request, the City
would be guided by the medium density residential land use of the Comprehensive Plan, the R-5,
Medium Density Residential District density standards, and the general town home performance
standards of the Albertville Zoning Ordinance.
Staff indicated that the City would not be interested in additional high density residential
development unless the product was different than the existing high density residential rental
product current in the City. Staff suggested that there is a need for market rate luxury apartments
that offer building security and amenities not offered by the existing Albertville housing market.
The land use change required to accommodate apartment development on the remaining
Westwind PUD site is a policy decision for the Planning Commission and City Council. Briggs
Properties has applied for PUD concept plan review to solicit Planning Commission and Council
opinion as to what type ofland use, site design, building design and level of amenities may be
appropriate for the site. Through the concept plan review, the developer may receive City input
before investing significantly in construction drawings.
In consideration of a concept plan, the City is not giving a development approval; rather it is only
providing input related to land use and site design that may make a project more appealing.
In 1996, the City determined that the appropriate land use for the proposed site was medium
density residential. In recent years, the City has not been satisfied with type and quality of the
multiple family development that has taken place. The change in land use will be contingent on
the applicant's ability to satisfy the City's expectations for quality market rate luxury apartments.
11
Council recommended guidelines to prevent this development from losing the luxuries as it .
passed from one property owner to the next. Council does not want the responsibility to police
the area in the future.
Mayor Peterson and Council members Vetsch and Berning all concur it needs to meet the city's
expectations.
Council informed staff to continue working with the applicant.
Hunter's Pass Estates - Final Plat - Developer's Agreement (Legal)
Minnesota Development Agency LLC has filed application for final plat for a subdivision
entitled Hunter's Pass Estates. The City approved Hunter's Pass Estates preliminary plat and
planned unit development in October 2004. The preliminary plat encompassed 76.6 acres in the
northeast comer of Albertville. The preliminary plat was approved with 95 lots in a coved
subdivision design. A planned unit development was approved for flexibility in lot size, front
yard setbacks, side yard setbacks, and street design.
The final plat encompasses the entire 76.6 acre site, but only 65 lots are to be platted with the
balance of the land being platted into three outlots and a park.
Based on our review, we find that the final plat is consistent with the approved preliminary plat
and planned unit development. We recommend approval subject to the following conditions:
1. The developer shall submit a directory of lots illustrating the applicable setbacks for each .
lot. Setbacks shall be consistent with the PUD approved setbacks outlined in this report
and illustrated on Exhibit C.
2. The final plat shall illustrate a 70-foot right-of-way dedication along 70th Street NE for
the full length of the final plat.
3. The developer shall agree to pay the City $283,674.00 for improvements of 70th Street
NE and MacIver Avenue NE.
4. Parking shall be restricted on one side of all local streets. The developer shall install
appropriate signage.
5. A blacktop trail connection from 69th Circle NE to 70th Street NE and over to Lakewood
Drive NE shall be provided.
6. Sidewalks shall be extended to the street at the comers of LaSalle Circle NE and 69th
Circle NE; and LaSalle Circle NE and 67th Street NE. Disability curb ramps shall be
installed.
7. Separate trail easements shall be recorded for all off right-of-way trails.
8. The homeowners association shall be responsible for sidewalk and trail maintenance.
9. The developer shall improve the park per plans approved by the Albertville Park
Committee.
10. Drainage and utility easements must be shown over the outlots containing wetlands and
ponding areas on the final plat. The size and location of all easements shall be approved
by the City Engineer.
11. The developer or assigns shall be responsible for removal of erosion control measures at .
the completion of the subdivision development.
12
.
.
.
12. The developer shall install wetland buffer markers.
13. The landscape plan shall be revised to include:
a. Additional landscaping on the north and east edge of the plat, locations specified in
this report.
b. The developer shall install two trees per lot (two inch caliper).
c. The homeowners association shall maintain cul-de-sac island landscaping.
14. The developer shall incorporate the architectural guidelines into the homeowner
association bylaws and further define "significant brick or stone."
15. The developer shall enter into a development agreement with the City.
16. Subject to the City Engineer's comments on the utility plans.
City Planner Brixius stated the base zoning on the property is R-l, Low Density Residential
District and S, Shoreland Overlay District. The average lot size is 13,837 square feet of
buildable land. This average lot size exceeds the R-IA required buildable lot area exclusive of
wetlands.
City Planner Brixius explained that through the coved subdivision, all house pads shall be set
back from the street a distance that provides an 80-foot lot width at the front building line.
The applicant shall provide a directory of setbacks for each individual lot in the subdivision.
This directory shall show the following:
1.
The variable front yard setbacks of 30+ feet that results in a lot width of 80 feet at the
front building line.
2. Other Setbacks:
. Side Yard Setback: 5 feet garage side
. Side Yard Setback: 10 feet living space
. Side Yard Setback: 30 feet on comer
. Rear Yard Setback: 30 feet minimum
. Wetland Setback: No building deck or other structure shall encroach
into the 30 foot wetland setback
. No rear or side yard setback variances shall be approved
3. The rear lot line shall be considered the southeast lot line for all flag lots (Lots 13, 14,
Block 3; Lots 8, 9 of Block 1).
City Planner Brixius confirmed that erosion control shall be installed in accordance with the
approved grading plan. The developer shall be responsible for removal of erosion control
devices with complete build out of the subdivision.
Council asked why there are islands in the center of the cul-de-sacs. Would it be difficult to
plow around and would it be a safety issue?
13
Matt Froelich, the developer, stated the homeowner association shall be responsible for the
landscaping and maintenance of all cul-de-sacs and islands.
.
Council wanted to make sure the spacing of the streetlights is consistent to the south part of
Albertville. They do not want them similar to the Towne Lakes Development.
Council asked the status of the Valerius property located within the site.
Mr. Froelich informed the Council it has been purchased and included in the Hunter's Pass
Estates Development.
Council addressed the Hunter's Mud Lake Crossing and Hunter's Lift Station.
City Attorney Couri stated these are City projects; therefore the developer would not be
responsible for construction.
Council asked if there was anything noted or documented in regards to rental property.
Staff confirmed there was nothing noted in the Developer's Agreement.
City Attorney Couri informed the Council that the Developer shall pay the City $283,674.00 for
road improvements necessitated by the Development, including the improvement of 70th Street NE,
which the City intends to improve pursuant to an anticipated future agreement between the City and
the City of Otsego. Developer agrees that its properties in the Development may be specially .
assessed in the amount of said $283,674.00, with said special assessment payable over a three year
period, provided however, that if the City enters into a contract for the construction of 70th Street

Downtown Parking Study Proposal
City Planner Brixius reviewed the Downtown Parking Study Proposal that as in the case of most
Historic Central Business Districts, Albertville's downtown businesses have been developed on
very small lots along its main street. This development pattern is reliant on on-street parking to
.
14
.
.
.
meet the business parking needs. As the community ages, the downtown businesses turn over,
traffic patterns change and parking needs have become an issue for downtown business.
City Planner Brixius stated the following work program outlines the steps necessary for this
study:
WORK PROGRAM
Step 1 - Inventory
In this step NAC will identify the following existing conditions related to property ownership
and land use:
a. Parcel ownership patterns
b. Parcel size
c. Current land use, business type and size of building
d. Available vacant land
e. Existing parking lots and parking stall count
To conduct this inventory, NAC will be reliant on City GIS information, tax information, air
photos and a field inspection of the downtown.
Step 2 - Identifying Parking Demand
Based on the inventory ofland use, building sizes and types of businesses, NAC will estimate
parking demand using the City Parking Standards. The existing parking supply (both off-street
and on-street) will be subtracted from the demand to illustrate any parking shortage that may
exist.
Step 3 - Identifying Potential Public Parking Lot Locations
NAC will identify potential sites (undeveloped sites or redevelopment sites) that may offer
locations for public parking lots that would address any parking shortages within the downtown
study area. The following criteria will be used to evaluate the potential sites:
a. Undeveloped land areas
b. Parcel size and configuration to provide parking lots that meet City standards
c. Proximity to businesses where parking shortages may exist
d. Property ownership patterns
The intent of Step 3 is to identify potential parking sites that could benefit the existing businesses
without being disruptive and offer sites that can provide attractive parking lot design.
Conceptual parking lot plans will be provided for preferred public parking lot sites.
Step 4 - Estimated Construction Costs
NAC will forward the parking lot options to the City Engineer, requesting an estimate of parking
lot construction cost. This cost may vary based on the size and number of lots that may be
15
proposed. We will ask for an average cost per parking stall to allow the City to discuss the
potential apportionment of costs to businesses that may benefit from the public lots.
.
Step 5 - Planning Commission/City Council Workshop
Presentation of the parking study at a joint workshop will be conducted to solicit input on the
study and discuss various options for parking lot locations, design, and apportionment of costs.
Step 6 - Presentation of Parking Options to Downtown Businesses
A presentation of the parking study to the downtown businesses shall occur following the City
workshop. This study shall be conducted to gain opinions on parking needs and to determine
which parking sites and strategy for implementation may be most supported.
Step 7 - Finalize Study
Following the presentation of the study to downtown businesses, NAC will finalize the study and
report back to the City Council with recommendations. The City Council will determine if it
wishes to proceed with any downtown parking options.
BUDGET
Based on the aforementioned work program, we estimate that the time and materials to complete
the work program will not exceed $3,960.00.
We believe that we could undertake and complete the work program ",ithin 60 days of City
authorization. This time frame will be dependent on City meeting availability.
Council asked where the funds for this study would come from.
.
City Administrator Kruse informed the Council the funds could come out of the General Fund
and assess the cost back to the businesses to reimburse the General Fund. Otherwise the Council
could approve the expenses to come out ofthe General Fund if you do not want to assess it back
to the businesses.
MOTION BY Mayor Peterson, seconded by Council member Vetsch to approve the Downtown
Parking Study Proposal as presented with the cost coming out of the General Fund. Motion
carried unanimously.
Ordinance Amendment - Section 1000.7. Landscaping-Ground Cover
Our staff has been directed to draft an amendment to Section 1000.7 of the Zoning
Ordinance pertaining to required landscaping.
Bob Moberg asked about seeding or even hydro seeding in the wetland area.
City Planner Brixius stated that is why the City would require an "As Built" Certificate of
Survey and PW Supervisor Guimont to inspect the area prior to refunding of the escrow.

Lachman Avenue NE Feasibility Report
City Engineer Kasma reported that per the Council request, we have prepared a feasibility study
for the Lachman Avenue NE extension. The following provides a summary of the information
contained within the report and conclusions drawn from the information:
1. All improvements addressed within the report are feasible from a technical standpoint. In
addition, the improvements are necessary to provide adequate transportation facilities and
municipal services to the project area, and represent cost effective solutions for doing so.
2. The proposed project consists of constructing a bituminous street, watermain and storm
sewer facilities from existing Lachman Avenue NE at 60th Street NE southerly to the north
plat line of the proposed LaBeaux Station Plat.
3. The proposed extension will be across private property, platted as Barthel Commercial Park
Second Addition, on which no right-of-way currently exists. There is an existing 60-foot
wide utility easement running southerly from the intersection of 60th Street NE and Lachman
Avenue NE to 57th Street NE centered on a 12-inch sanitary sewer line.
4. The total estimated project costs are apportioned as follows:
ITEM TOTAL PROJECT COST
Street Construction $304,600
Storm Sewer $ 28,300
17
Watermain
$ 48.000
.
Total Estimated Project Costs
$380,900
City Engineer Kasma stated that as part of this report, the wetland that would be impacted by the
extension of Lachman Avenue NE was delineated and surveyed. While this recent wetland
delineation conforms closely with that done in 1997, there is now an area of fill immediately
south of 60th Street NE, along the alignment of the proposed Lachman Avenue NE extension.
The fill area extends south approximately 120-feet and is about 9 feet above natural grade at its
high point. The wetland edge is approximately 150- feet south of 60th Street NE and extends
southerly onto the proposed LaBeaux Station plat.
City Engineer Kasma proceed to report as a part of the required geotechnical data obtained for
the proposed LaBeaux Station plat, an additional soil boring was taken midway between this
north plat line and 60th Street NE within the wetland. The results ofthis soil boring indicated
poor soils to a depth of 14 feet. The soils consultant is recommending sub-cutting through the
wetland and backfilling with a minimum of 2.5 feet of sand over a geotextile fabric.
City Engineer Kasma recommended that the City purchase wetland credits through the
Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources, rather than purchasing upland for the required
mitigation. The current purchase price of wetland credits through the BWSR is $4,930 per acre
to Public Transportation Authorities.
Council questioned how do we handle the costs for this street project? How do we fund the
project?
.
Staff reported the need for more research on how to fund or handle costs for the Lachman
Avenue NE Street Improvements.
It was questioned if there was any disturbance to the land when sanitary sewer was started and
would the project be considered grandfathered in or not.
Staff would require more researching to find some aerial photos from Wright County.
Deric Deuschle with S.E.H. had looked in this area within the past couple of years. There was
some wetland disturbance, but not to add much to the pre-existing wetland condition.
City Attorney Couri reported on the funding for the project. He was not sure whether 20% could
be assessed. There is always the option to bond for the project.
Council recommended staff update and research the area then report back at a future meeting.
52nd Street NE Feasibility Report Update
City Engineer Kasma prepared a feasibility study for 52nd Street NE Improvements. The report
and conclusions drawn from the information:
.
18
.
1. All improvements addressed within this report are feasible from a
technical standpoint. In addition, the improvements are necessary to
provide adequate transportation facilities and municipal services to the
project area, and represent cost effective solutions for doing so.
2. The proposed project consists of constructing a bituminous street,
sanitary sewer, watermain and storm sewer facilities on 52nd Street NE
from approximately 500-feet east of Barthel Industrial Drive NE to
Marlowe Avenue NE.
3. As of this writing, it is our understanding that no improvements are
planned within the MacKenzie Avenue NE right-of-way, and that Lots
12 and 13, Block 2 will receive access and utility service from Lot 6
and Marlow Avenue NE respectively. As such, Lots 12 and 13 are not
included in the cost apportionment discussed in this report.
4. Several possible funding sources are available for this project, including
but not limited to, Chapter 429 Improvement Bonds, Revenue Bonds
and Ad Valorem Taxes.
5. The cost apportionment method is based on the "Buildable" area per
benefiting lot.
6. The total project costs are apportioned as follows:
.
Sanitary Sewer

. Council questioned what is the proposed width of the street.
19
The construction of 52nd Street NE would be of a 42-foot wide street, which would widen the .
existing gravel surface, resulting in potential wetland fill.
City Administrator Kruse recommended Council have a workshop to discuss the construction of
52nd Street NE. That would allow staff more time to check with the current landowner to find
out if they would be interested in connecting to municipal utilities.

Sewer Access Charges / Water Access Charges - Space Aliens Grill & Bar
Pursuant to your request, we have computed the SAC and WAC charges for the above referenced
building. It is our understanding that the City of Albertville follows the Metropolitan Council's
Reserve Capacity Charge Manual in determining equivalent residential units (ERUs).
Considering this, the SAC and WAC charges are computed as follows:
Dining Room and Lounge Area:
Number of Seats (1 seat /15 sf):
3618 sf
241.2 seats
Sewer Access Charge:
241.2 seats /8 seats per ERU
30.15 ERU x $4600.00/ERU
= 30.15 ERU
$138,690.00
.
Water Access Charge (Joint Powers Portion):
241.2 seats /8 seats per ERU =
30.15 ERU x $1668.00
30.15 ERU
= $50,290.20
Water Access Charge (City Portion):
241.2 seats / 8 seats per ERU
30.15 ERU x $950.00
=
30.15 ERU
$28,642.50
$ 78,932.70
= $217,622.70
Total WAC Charges:
Total SAC and WAC Charges:
=
Council would consider special assessment over a 3-year period, but the City cannot assess the
Joint Powers Water Board portion of the Water Access Charges.

Albert Villas Wetland Mitigation Update from Deric Deuschle
Deric Deuschle with S.E.H. reported that there has been some wetland mitigation improvements
completed in the Albert Villas area but still requires a considerable amount more work. Staking
has been done to some of the mitigation areas, which has prompted a number of homeowners to
contact the City offices and be present at tonight's meeting.
Mr. Dueschle stated it requires City Council approval to acquire the necessary easement and
mitigations.
Mr. Dueschle will be meeting with members of Wright County. Following the meeting he will
report back to staff to put a resolution together for the next City Council meeting. These issues
need to be resolved on or before June 29,2005 to stay within the 120-day time frame.
On Monday, June 6th Mr. Dueschle was inspecting the Albert Villas 4th and 6th, and reports that
the buffer areas are not in place. Anyone who has lots in the 4th or 6th development, this will
poise a sticking point as they may be loosing a considerable amount of land use.
Mr. Dueschle wanted the Council to know this is an ongoing process. When Albert Villas was
being developed the TEP Panel was focusing on Albert Villas 1 - 2 - and 3.
Mr. Dueschle suggested a special session inviting the homeowners so they would better
understand what is going on in their neighborhood.
Mr. Dueschle reported as we go through to assess the buffer areas and notify the homeowners as
an area is complete. Informing the owners of what area should or should not be affected.
Mayor Peterson advised staff to get some kind of direct mailing to the residents going over the
history of the development and what is currently happening and how it is proposed to be
corrected or addressed. He wants to head off any wrong information, that it was not the City's
fault, nor any staffmembers. We trusted a developer to follow through with the site, grading and
construction as submitted.

Written Report
Reported continuing to work with representatives of Direct TV regarding their interest in
purchasing our Public Works Facility.
.
City Administrator Kruse reported working with Mark Forbes on suggested City Hall changes
from our last meeting.
The consensus of the City Council was to proceed with the four office cubicles with isles
flanking each side. Elimination of the janitorial and storage space on the west end of the
building and shortening the vestibule/hallway on the northwest entrance. Staff was directed to
try to absorb the space being cut into the existing space. The Council postponed a decision to

Pelican Lake Restoration Project
City Administrator informed the Council he attended a meeting with the DNR, MPCA, Wright
County SWCD, St. Michael, Ducks Unlimited and a host of other agencies to study options to
drain or lower Pelican Lake. Another meeting of stakeholders is scheduled for June 8th from
10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Timothy's Riverwood Conference Center.
It appears the Mississippi option may be very expensive and from a constructability standpoint,
the St. Michael/Albertville option may be the most viable option. Both 8t. Michael and
Albertville expressed cautious optimism referencing the problems with the recent floods. They
want an Albertville representative to be involved in the study and evaluation of the options. City
Administrator Kruse will continue to attend and represent the City's interest through the study
period. .

PRESENT: Mayor Don Peterson, Council members Tom Fay, Ron Klecker and LeRoy Berning
S.E.H. City Engineer Bob Moberg, Deric Deuschle, City Attorney Mike Couri, City
Administrator Larry Kruse,
ABSENT: John Vetsch
Mayor Peterson called the Special City Council meeting of the City of Albertville to order at
6:00 p.m. stating the purpose of the workshop was to discuss the 30 foot wetland buffer
ordinance and give staff some direction in how to answer residents of Albert Villas who will be
attending and information meeting at 7 :00 following this workshop.
Staff outlined that Edina Development had not install the wetland buffer signs as required by the
ordinance and their development plan. As a result, numerous homes in the Albert Villas
additions are non-compliant with the ordinance causing major setback problems.
After much discussion the consensus of the City Council is to go through the Planning
Commission and seek grandfathering in those homes, which are non-compliant prior to a certain
date. It was stated that lots, which have not had building permits issued would be required to
comply with the ordinance.
Workshop adjourned at 6:30 p.m.

RESOLUTION NO. 2005-18
A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING LIMITED
SEWER BACK-UP, CLEAN-UP AND PROPERTY DAMAGE
PROTECTION FOR MUNICIPAL SEWER CUSTOMERS
WHEREAS, the city affords municipal sanitary sewer services to many of the property owners
within the city; and
WHEREAS, on occasion blockages or other conditions in city sanitary sewer lines may result in
the back-up of sewage into properties that are connected to those city sanitary lines; and
WHEREAS, sewer back-ups into property pose a public health and safety concern; and
WHEREAS, it is not always easy to discern the exact cause and responsibility for municipal
sanitary sewer back-ups; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to encourage the expeditious clean-up of properties that
have encountered sewer back-ups; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to minimize the potential of expensive lawsuits arising out
of sewer back-up claims; and
WHEREAS, the city is a member of the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust; and
WHEREAS, the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust is making available to the city a
limited "no fault" sewer coverage that will reimburse property owners for certain clean-up costs
and property damage irrespective of whether the City is thought to be legally at fault.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Albertville,
County of Wright, State of Minnesota, as follows:
As part of the contract for the provision of sewer services to the customers of the
city, and in consideration ofthe payment of sewer bills, the city agrees to reimburse
its sanitary sewer customers for up to $10,000 of clean-up costs and property
damages caused by a sanitary sewer back-up, irrespective of whether the city is
thought to be negligent or otherwise legally liable for those damages, subject to the
following conditions:
a). The backup must have resulted from a condition in the city's sanitary sewer
system or lines, and not from a condition in a private line.
35
b). The backup must not have been caused by catastrophic weather or other event
for which Federal Emergency Management Assistance is available.
c). The backup must not have been caused by an interruption in electric power to
the city's sewer system or to any city lift stations, which continues for more
than 72 hours.
d). The backup must not have been caused by rainfall or precipitation that would
constitute a 100-year storm as determined by the National Weather Service.
e). Neither the city nor the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT)
will reimburse any costs which have been or are eligible to be covered under
the property owner's own homeowners or other property insurance, or which
would be eligible to be reimbursed under a National Flood Insurance Protection
(NFIP) policy, whether or not the property owner actually has NFIP coverage.
t). The maximum amount that the city or LMCIT will reimburse is $10,000 per
building, per year. In this regard, a structure or group of structures served by a
single connection to the city's sewer system is considered a single building.

Direct Deposit
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Larry Kruse and I recommend implementation of mandatory direct deposit for those paid
through the City of Albertville payroll system. Currently 92% of full-time employees are using
direct deposit and 40% of part-time employees are using direct deposit.
BACKGROUND
Currently the City of Albertville prints payroll checks on the same check stock as Accounts
Payable so the numbers are commingled. Direct Deposit has been offered on a volunteer basis
to date.
.
Effective August 1, 2004 there was authorization for a municipal governing body to mandate
direct deposit for all employees being paid by its payroll system. This follows Minnesota State
Statute 471.426 stating municipalities may require direct deposit for all its employees who are
being paid on the payroll system.
With the completion of the Annual Audit for 2004, it was recommended by the Auditors that the
City of Albertville either go direct deposit or order a separate series of checks for payroll. The
reason for such a change is connected with the auditor's requirement of Accounts Receivable
reconciling the accounts. This issue consists of lost checks, checks not being cashed, monthly
reconciliation of payroll against the general ledger, withholding amounts, payroll reconciliation
for withholding, retirement reconciliation, state and federal required quarterly reporting, etc.
Therefore, in order to ease up this process they recommended to stop the commingling of the two
check runs since it is very difficult to find just payroll. The City of Albertville and the auditors
have to look through every check in the register (except the ones which are direct deposited).
The cost of direct deposit to the City of Albertville is $0, but to order another series of checks
with a different number sequence would run the city about $500 per order.
Staff is requesting Council to implement mandatory Direct Deposit for all employees being paid
by the City payroll system.
.
CITY COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
Motion to approve the resolution adopting the mandatory direct deposit effective July 27,2005.

A RESOLUTION MANDATING DIRECT DEPOSIT
WHEREAS, the Albertville City Council has reviewed its payroll process; and
WHEREAS, the Albertville City's auditing firm has recommended; and
WHEREAS, the Albertville City Council determines that the following actions be implemented:
Mandatory direct deposit for those paid through the City of Albertville payroll system.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Albertville,
Minnesota, does hereby adopts this resolution setting forth the direct deposit policy.

Declaration ofIntent to Finance WWTF
According to Paul Donna, Vice President, Partner Northland Securities, the City of Albertville
needs to adopt a resolution declaring the intent to finance the Waste Water Treatment Facility
Expansion Project. Under the current IRS Reimbursement regulations issuers often will pay
capital costs out of available cash in anticipation oflong-term financing with tax-exempt bonds.
Bonds or other municipal obligations issued to permanently finance prior expenditures in this
way are commonly called "reimbursement bonds".
The IRS issued new regulations describing permitted uses of reimbursement bonds. Those
regulations are effective for bonds or other municipal obligations issued after June 30, 1993.
Municipalities that expect to issue reimbursement bonds are required to take actions specified in
the regulations within 60 days of when the expenditures to be reimbursed are made.
.
Declaration of Intent
Under the June 1993 regulations, if a current expenditure is to be permanently financed by a later
issue of tax-exempt obligations, the municipality must declare its reasonable intent to do so
within 60 days after the expenditure is made. Without this declaration of intent, the ability to
obtain permanent tax-exempt financing for that expenditure is lost (unless the preliminary
expenditure or deminimus exceptions described below apply).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff is requesting Council to adopt the resolution for the intent to finance the Waste Water
Treatment Facility Expansion

Motion to approve the resolution adopting the intent to f"mance the Waste Water

WHEREAS, the Internal Revenue Service has issued Treas. Reg. ~ 1.150-2 (the "Reimbursement
Regulations") providing that proceeds of tax-exempt bonds used to reimburse prior expenditures
will not be deemed spent unless certain requirements are met; and
WHEREAS, the City expects to incur certain expenditures that may be financed temporarily from
sources other than bonds, and reimbursed from the proceeds of a tax-exempt bond;
WHEREAS, the City has determined to make this declaration of official intent (the "Declaration")
to reimburse certain costs from proceeds of bonds in accordance with the Reimbursement
Regulations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF .
ALBERTVILLE AS FOLLOWS:

issuance of the bonds, or other expenditures eligible for reimbursement under Section
1.150-2(d)(3) of the Reimbursement Regulations.
3. This Declaration has been made not later than 60 days after payment of any original
expenditure to be subject to a reimbursement allocation with respect to the proceeds of
bonds, except for the following expenditures: (a) costs of issuance of bonds; (b) costs in
an amount not in excess of $1 00,000 or 5 percent of the proceeds of an issue; or ( c)
"preliminary expenditures" up to an amount not in excess of 20 percent of the aggregate
issue price of the issue or issues that finance or are reasonably expected by the City to
finance the project for which the preliminary expenditures were incurred. The term
"preliminary expenditures" includes architectural, engineering, surveying, bond issuance,
and similar costs that are incurred prior to commencement of acquisition, construction or
rehabilitation of a project, other than land acquisition, site preparation, and similar costs
incident to commencement of construction.

.
.
4. This Declaration is an expression of the reasonable expectations of the City based on the
facts and circumstances known to the City as of the date hereof. The anticipated original
expenditures for the Project and the principal amount of the bonds described in paragraph
2 are consistent with the City's budgetary and financial circumstances. No sources other
than proceeds of bonds to be issued by the City are, or are reasonably expected to be,
reserved, allocated on a long-term basis, or otherwise set aside pursuant to the City's

WHEREAS, Edina and the City agree that Edina's Response to the DNR's order shall be
deemed an amended wetland mitigation plan ("Amended Mitigation Plan");
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
. OF ALBERTVILLE, WRIGHT COUNTY, MINNESOTA:
45
A.
The City Council makes the following findings of fact:
1. Edina has not created and maintained all wetland mitigation areas required by the
wetland mitigation plans.
2. Edina has not established wetland buffer zones required by at least one of the
wetland mitigation plans.
3. Edina has not posted wetland signs in locations required by at least one of the
wetland mitigation plans.
4. Edina has not recorded all of the wetland covenants required by the wetland
mitigation plans.
5. Edina has not provided the City with drainage and utility easements over all areas
containing wetlands and mitigated wetlands.
B. The Response (also referred to as "Amended Mitigation Plan") attached as Exhibit A
to this resolution is hereby approved, subject to the following conditions listed
below:
1. Edina shall pay all City costs incurred as a result of Edina's failure to comply with
the wetland mitigation plans, including all legal, planning, engineering, and
environmental consultant fees incurred by the City, as well as the value of the City
Administrator's time (at a rate of $50 per hour) devoted to the issues arising from
Edina's failure to comply with the wetland mitigation plans. The City shall send
invoices from the Consultants to Edina for review.
2. Edina shall provide the City with drainage and utility easements over the
following lots: Lot 8, Block 1, Albert Villas Second Addition; Lots 4,5 and 7,
Block 3 Albert Villas Sixth Addition, and that area labeled "Future 7th Addition
Concept" shown on the attached Exhibit B. All such easements shall be on a form
approved by the City Attorney, shall include all wetlands and wetland mitigation
areas on said lots, and Edina shall provide proof of good title for all easements,
including subordinations of all existing mortgages and release of all liens on the
properties. Edina shall provide written permission from the property owners of
Lots 3 and 4 of Block 1, Albert Villas 6th Addition authorizing the establishment
of wetlands consistent with the mitigation area shown on the Amended Mitigation
Plan. For all properties owned by Edina upon which Edina has or is required to
establish mitigated wetlands, Edina shall record a Declaration of Restrictions and
Covenants employing substantially the same form as shown on the attached
Exhibit C. Edina shall provide proof Edina has good title to such property
immediately prior to such recording, including proof that no mortgages or liens
46
.
.
.
.
.
.
take precedence over such Declaration of Restrictions and Covenants.
3. Edina shall mail a notice to all owners of properties on which no covenants and
restrictions have been recorded related to wetlands. The notice shall be approved
by the City Administrator and shall conform to the wetland-related notices
required of Edina with the original plat approval.
4. Edina shall provide the City with a letter of credit approved by the City Attorney
in the amount of$114,600 reflecting cost estimates of$50,000 for Edina to restore
unauthorized wetland filling as required by paragraph B.ll. of this resolution;
$50,000 as the estimated cost of constructing the mitigation wetlands required by
the Amended Mitigation Plan; and $14,600 as the estimated cost of monitoring the
mitigated wetlands for a period of five years. The letter of credit shall be
unconditional except that the City may only draw on the letter of credit upon
presentation of a written statement to the issuing authority by the City detailing
Edina's failure to comply with the terms of this resolution and presentation of the
City's statement as to the amount of money needed to effect such compliance.
The form of the letter of credit and issuing bank must meet the approval of the
City Attorney. As Edina performs the wetland restoration work required by
paragraph B.ll. of this resolution in a manner acceptable to the City and DNR, the
City shall, at Edina's request, reduce that portion of the letter of credit attributable
to such restoration, provided that the amount of the remaining portion of the letter
of credit attributable to such restoration shall not be less than the cost estimate of
such restoration remaining to be completed pursuant to this Agreement.
5. On all lots in the Development currently owned by Edina, Edina shall record the
wetland-related restrictions required with the City's initial approval of the
respective Developments.
6. Edina shall provide the City with a list of all property owners who were given
wetland-related informational materials, which the City in its initial approval of
the respective Developments required to be given to purchasers of the lots within
the Developments.
7. Edina shall install wetland marker signs of a type and in such locations on
easement areas within the Developments as required by City staff. For all lots
upon which no building permit has been issued as of May 6, 2005, said signs shall
be placed at the leading edge of the 30-foot wetland buffer area required by City
Ordinance.
8. The City of Albertville shall be provided a ghost plat of "Phase 7" (the property
adjacent to Albert Villas 6th Addition which is owned by Edina and is to be used
for constructing mitigated wetlands) so it can be determined that the anticipated
land uses and layouts will be acceptable with the proposed mitigation areas. This
ghost plat shall be submitted prior to the establishment of mitigated wetlands on
such property.
9. Edina shall obtain the written consent from the owners of Lots 3 and 4, Block 1 of
Albert Villa's 6th Addition sufficient to permit the recording of the Declaration of
Restrictions and Covenants attached as Exhibit C over said Lots and sufficient to
47
permit the establishment of wetland mitigation areas over said Lots. Edina shall
be responsible for recording said covenants and providing proof of good title for
such covenants, including subordination of any existing mortgages and release of
any liens.
10. Unless a different date is specifically set out in this Agreement for any particular
paragraph, All wetland creation and restoration work to be performed by Edina
shall be completed by August 1,2005. All other work required of Edina under
this Agreement must proceed in an uninterrupted and expeditious manner.
11. Edina shall restore all wetlands that have been filled without proper authorization
as of the date of this resolution in the Developments where such filled wetlands: 1)
are within City drainage and utility easements; and 2) were not posted with
wetland boundary marker signs prior to the unauthorized filling; and 3) are located
on the lots listed on the attached Exhibit D. Edina shall coordinate all restoration
actions with City staff and the landowners on whose properties the filled wetlands
are located. Edina shall not be required to restore wetlands on properties, which
the City finds the property owner has failed to sufficiently cooperate with the City
to restore the wetlands in a timely and acceptable manner. Edina shall pay the
costs incurred by the City in facilitating the restoration of these wetlands,
including all environmental, engineering and legal consulting costs. The City
shall send invoices from the Consultants to Edina for review. All such restoration
work shall be performed by Edina by September 15,2005, unless a later date is
specified by the City. In restoring such wetlands, Edina shall not remove, damage
or destroy trees, bushes or shrubs planted by the property owners if the planting of
such items are not deemed fill under the Wetland Conservation Act and the
removal of such items are not required to restore the wetlands.
12. Edina shall pay all engineering, environmental and legal consulting costs incurred
by the City in monitoring the mitigated wetlands for the period required by state
law. The City shall send invoices from the Consultants to Edina for review.
13. In the event one or more property owners of Lots 1-6, Block 6, Albert Villas Third
Addition apply for the relocation of the wetlands on these lots from the wetlands'
current location to another location on these lots and such petition is approved on a
l-to-l replacement basis, Edina shall relocate and re-establish said wetlands on the
lots receiving approval under the Wetland Conservation Act, provided the
property owners receiving such approval grant Edina access to one or more of the
lots to perform the work. All such work shall be done at Edina's expense, but
Edina shall not be responsible for costs associated with said application. Edina's
obligation to perform the work required in this paragraph shall expire for any lot
not receiving such approval by December 31,2005.
14. Edina Development shall provide the City a survey of the mitigation sites for
Albert Villas Phases 1-6, which identifies the location of those sites in relation to
existing easements of the City including, but not limited to, wetland mitigation,
drainage and utility easements. The purpose of this condition is to allow the City
to identify which mitigation sites are currently within City controlled easements
.
.
.
48
.
.
.
and which are located on private property.
15. Mitigation areas 1m though 4m shall surveyed in their current state to accurately
identify the proposed construction limits. The wetland delineation, as identified
prior to construction, shall also be staked in the field. These surveys will be
evaluated by the LGU and/or TEP panel members to determine if corrective action
has been completed as proposed. Previous surveys shall be abandoned.
16. As-built plans shall be provided on mitigation areas 1m through 4m. As-built
drawings shall also be provided for all wetland mitigation on Phases 3,4, and 6.
Mitigation and lor buffer deficiencies in Phases 3, 4, and 6 if present, must also be
compensated for either with corrective action or replacement at 4: 1
17. Following construction, any areas determined to be deficient, either due to
inadequate construction or inability to gain access to complete construction, will
be included in the mitigation plan to be replaced at a 4: 1 replacement ratio. This
specifically referenced to the east side of mitigation 2m, but may apply to
additional areas.
18. The additional wetland impact located between areas 7f and 8f shall be replaced
4: 1 rather than the proposed 2: 1.
19. Mitigation areas 1 m through 4m shall be re-seeded with a wetland seed mixture
and will be disk anchored with clean straw. The tag (list of species and quantities
provided from the vendor) from the wetland seed mixture used in the mitigation
areas must be provided to the City of Albertville.
20. The area between mitigation areas 3m and 4m must also be re-seeded and re-
graded if the survey referenced in Item 1 identifies this area as being filled
wetland. This area can also be mitigated off-site at a 4:1 ratio if restoration cannot
be completed.
21. Mitigation site 3m shall have the sod removed from the bottom of the open water.
The removed material must be removed from the property and disposed of
properly. Any exposed bare ground will be seeded and mulched as per Item 6.
22. Damage to private property resulting from corrective action shall be restored
immediately following construction activities. This may include but not limited
to, replacement of sod damaged by construction vehicles.
23. Required signage shall be of a size and dimension and contain information as
approved by the City. A plan sheet identifying the proposed placement locations
must also be submitted for approval by the City prior to installation.
24. Edina Development Corporation shall be responsible for obtaining any necessary
permanent or temporary easements and/or rights-of-entry on private property for
the purpose of accessing, repairing, and maintaining mitigation sites and for sign
placement. All such easements and rights-of-entry are subject to approval by the
City Attorney and City Engineer.
25. Monitoring for all mitigation areas within all Phases of Albert Villas shall be reset
to year one status. Monitoring reports shall be submitted by August 15 of each
year, starting in 2005, to allow for field verification within the growing season.
26. Edina Development must prepare education materials that describe the benefits of
49
wetlands and buffers, and identifies the land uses allowed, or not allowed in these
areas. These materials must be provided to all residences within the
Developments and shall include figures that identify the wetlands present in all
phases of the Developments. These materials must meet the approval of the City
Administrator. Examples of similar materials may be obtained from the Board of
Water and Soil Resources.
27. The large earthen mounds currently located in the vicinity of the new mitigation
areas in "Phase 7" must be removed.
28. Edina Development shall notify the City and its wetland consultants prior to any
activity that will require a field review and/or visual inspection. This will
minimize resident impacts, and will allow for prompt approval or identify
additional corrective actions.
29. Edina Development is responsible for obtaining permission to enter private
property to perform corrective actions, and must obtain this permission in writing.
These permissions shall also include access rights for the City of Albertville, their
representatives, and regulatory personnel related to this project. Permission to
access property to perform corrective work related to compliance with the
Wetland Conservation Act shall be granted in perpetuity. Verbal approvals are
vague, unreliable, and shall not be accepted.
30. Initiation of corrective action by Edina Development prior to approval of this
permit application is at their risk. Placement of signage, restoration or corrective
action, or creation of mitigation areas does not constitute approval.
31. Any violations or unwillingness to comply with this permit, or any of the attached
conditions, will be considered a violation of the Restoration Order and a violation
of the Amended Mitigation Plan and will be enforced with legal action and will be
grounds for the suspension of the issuance of building permits pursuant to the
developer's agreements applicable to the Developments.
C. Edina shall fully perform conditions B.l. through B.9. of this Resolution before the
Amended Mitigation Plan shall be deemed to be effective for purposes of curing
Edina's failure to comply with the wetland mitigation plans. For purposes of curing
Edina's current defaults under all of the Developer's Agreements for the
Developments, no wetland-related defaults shall be deemed cured until Edina
complies with conditions B.1 through B.9 of this Resolution.
D. The approval contained in this Resolution incorporates the following documents:
1. Restoration order issued by the Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources dated February 23, 2005.
2. The Amended Mitigation Plan submitted by Edina.

Jon Sutherland, Building Official
FROM:
SUBJECT: MAY 2005 MONTHLY REPORT
It's the Construction Season, its raining, its muddy, it's a mess. Issuing a building permit creates allot of
incidental work. The work is more like a battle which is essentially~ "Who is going to clean up this
mud?" Or ~~Who is going to chase the one who put the mud on the street?" A pen, an inspection notice,
and a phone, are my weapons used to fight this battle. I win some and I lose some and (after we have
looked underground to check and clean the stonn sewers) soon enough we have a new neighborhood that
is appropriately landscaped and squeaky clean. Before the next battle we need to look back and see how
.we fared on the last one so we can modify our strategy and create better weapons. Oh, back to my
onthly report. ..
Residential CQnstruction Activity: 10 new residential units were processed resulting in. 51 for the year
to date (YTD). 22 various residential project pennits were issued resulting in 69 YTD.
Commercial Construction Activity: Commercial activity consisted mainly of 2 tenant finish's @ the
Albertville Outlet Mall. We welcome tethe City, Borders (Books), and K Space (primarily men's
clothing).
Miscellaneous: 38 miscellaneous pennits Were issued for Signs, Plumbing, Mechanical, and Fences.
Inspection Activity: This and existing work in progress generated approximately 181 related Inspectinns
including Rental Licensing, Complaints and Zoning Enforcement.

Re: General Update
1.) SHOPPES AT PRAIRIE RUN EXTENSION:
Dan Temple requested a little additional time to record the Final Plat of the Shoppes at
Prairie Run as they were not able to coordinate getting all of the necessary signatures by
the filing deadline. City Attorney Couri and 1 recommend extending it another week to
June 24, 2005.
2.) MUNICIPAL STATE AID: City Engineer Mark Kasma and 1 are scheduled to meet
with Kelvin Howieson on June 21 st to initiate discussion about our new state aid status.
3.) 1-94 FREEWAY STUDY REPORT: A meeting is scheduled to meet with MnDOT and
Federal Highway on June 21 st to review our submittal.
4.) ALBERTVILLE PREMIUM MALL - WELCOME FURNITURE
1 would like the City Council to help me advocate a better relationship with the
Albertville Premium Outlet Mall management. We have some huge issues before us
including the 1-94 interchange, extension of their road to the west and future
improvements to the CSAH 19 mall intersection. 1 am advocating allowing them to lower
the fence on the condition they write us a letter stating they will work cooperatively with
us as we evaluate the viability of transportation issues. There are no guarantees we will
agree when all is said and done, but it is critical that we try. Please consider my
recommendation.
5.) CITY HALL PROJECT:
We have configured the changes requested by the City Council as follows:
1) Remove the building extension for storage room and janitorial closet on
the west end of the building.
2) Shorten the entrance vestibule in the northwest comer of the building.
A revised drawing is enclosed for your review. The architects are proceeding with design
of the building with a goal to bid this fall.

Re: Albertville Premium Outlet Berm, fence and Welcome Furniture Sign
DESCIPTION
ALBERTVILLE PREMIUM OUTLET MALL:
I met with representatives ofthe Albertville Premium Outlet Mall and discussed the J-walking
and safety issues on CSAH 19 and promoting pedestrian traffic using the intersection. The Mall
management emphasized their recent cooperation painting, landscaping and screening the
dumpsters and their willingness to install the proposed fence. They have been unable to find
someone interested in removing the dirt pile. The lowering of the fence remains an important
issue to them.
WELCOME FURNITURE:
I discussed the berm issue and the lack of ability for customers to find the Welcome Furniture
Store and hear.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
My recommendation seeks to achieve temporarily getting traffic destined for Welcome Furniture
to their store and to create a more positive working relationship with Chelsea on extension of the
street, removal of the dirt berm and other issues including the 1-94 Interchange.
MOTION to authorize staff to work with Wright County and/or private property owners to
install a temporary directional sign for Welcome Furniture to be located on 67th Street. The
temporary sign approval is for a one year period with Welcome Furniture paying all associated
permits and costs.
MOTION to authorize staff to authorize Albertville Premium Outlets to lower the CSAH 19
Fence, contingent upon them installing an additional fence preventing pedestrian traffic crossing
between the malls at other than the intersection, subject to interdepartmental review and approval
of the City Administrator. Further the approval of lowering of the CSAH 19 fence is contingent
upon the Albertville Premium Outlet Mall submitting a letter from the CEO of Chelsea stating
their willingness to work collaboratively and cooperatively to study the extension of their road to
the west, which if judged feasible by the City Council may include the removal of the dirt piles
and Albertville Premium Outlet contributing an easement for right of way.

RE: All- Wa.y Stop Request
CSAIU 8 @ 57th Street NE
City of Albertville
Dear Mr. Kruse:
At your request, in a letter dated November 22, 2004, we have completed a traffic analysis of the
above-mentioned intersection, in regards to warrants for an all-way stop. The following warrants
. have been met for ~ all-wa.Y stop at this intersection:
1. Minimum Volumes: The total vehicular volume entering the intersection from the
major street approaches (CSAH 18) averages more than the required minimum of 300
vehiclell per hour for any 8 hourll ofartavel'age day; and the total vehicular volume
entering the intersection from the minor street approaches (57th St.) averages more
than the required 200 vehicles per hour for any 8 hours of an average day.
2. Sight Distance: There is a lack of good sight distance, (due to parked vehicles on
CSAH 18) as you look north from 5th Street.
In addition to the above warrants being met, when installing an all-way stop, the volume of
traffic on the intersecting streets should be approximately equal. Our study indicated that this is
the case at this intersection. The following ill the average daily traffic for the intersection, as was
counted from Wednesday May 4th thru Friday May ~:
CSAH 18 North Leg

All~Way Stop Request
May 26, 2005
Page 2
In regards to the actual phy.sical installation ofall""way stop signs, there are currently "Pedestrian
Crossing" signs on the north leg of the intersection that will interfere with the installation of the
stop signs (lack of available space). It will be necessary for us to remove these signs in order to
install the stop signs. (please note, that because this would be an all~way stop condition,
"Pedestrian Crossing" signs would not be needed nor are they necessary at this location).
I spoke with Mayor Don Peterson, this morning, regarding the installation of the all~way stop,
and he indicated that he would prefer to discuss the issue with the full City Council at the June
6th meeting, prior to any signs being installed We are prepared to make the necessary signing
changes to make this intersection an all-way stop, however, since this request carne from the
City, we will wait to hear from you on how you would like us to proceed.
If you have any questions, please call me at 763~682-7391.

Re: City Hall Schematic Design Approval
Dear Larry:
Thank you for your e-mail update on actions taken relative to the City Hall project atthe June 6, 2005
City Council meeting. It is our understanding that the City Council approved the latest schematic plan
(Reduced Plan #1 dated May 17, 2005 and amended flOOr plan dated June 2, 2005)showmga building of
18,276 sq. ft. at an estimated construction cost of$2,931,957 and total project cost of$3,517,126. The
City Council also requested that the following changes be made to the plans:
1) Eliminate the janitorial and storage space on the west end of the building.
2) Shorten the vestibulelhallway at the northwest entrance.
The Council further requested that we attempt to absorb the space being cut into the existing space and
provide cost estimates on concrete planking versus steel for the second floor expansion lItea.
Since our contract (section 12.1.2.1 A) requires written approval of the completed schematic design plans
for the building, we have drafted the enclosed resolution for consideration by the City COWlcil at its next
meeting along with a clean set of schematic plans and a revised project cost summary. We appreciate the
City Council taking formal action on the schematic design plans.
Please contact us if you have any questions or need further assistance.

Re: Request for Participation on Committee to Review Fitness/Community
Center
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
I have written this letter to request that the City Council appoint a member to serve as a
representative on a Fitness/Community Center Committee. This Committee will have the task of
reviewing and making recommendations in regard to the proposed Fitness/Community Center
facility in Town Center.
The City Council has received proposals, and has decided to concentrate on a partnership with a
private owner. Their proposal is to construct a minimum of a 65,000 square foot facility. The
features they propose for this facility include:
. 6,400 square foot gymnasium
. 5,000 square foot indoor water park
. 7,500 square foot lap pool
. 2,000 square foot warm water pool
. 7,000 square foot 440 foot, five-lane track
. 1,600 square foot racquetball courts
. 15,000 square foot exercise areas
. 5,000 square foot fitness studios
Additionally, the following other features will be considered for this facility:
. 25,000 square foot (or larger) indoor sports facility
. 5,000 square foot senior center
Because many of these components would serve the greater community, input by the School
District, along with other community leaders, is vital for the City to make the best decision.
I have attached a copy of the general guidelines for the committee, including a proposed ~eeting
. schedule. Also included are some questions the City would like to have the committee answer.
71
Thank you for your consideration in regard to this matter. Please call me if you have any

MINUTES
MOTION BY Commission member Kocon, seconded by Commission member Dorenbush to
approve the agenda as presented. Motion carried unanimously.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
P ARKSIDE COMMERCIAL PUD/CUP AND SITE AND BUILDING PLAN REVIEW
Chair Leintz opened the public hearing at 7:04 p.m.
City Planner Brixius reported Premier Development Group, LLC has submitted an application
for a CUP-PUD and site plan approval to allow for three office buildings within the site. A
similar plan was introduced to the Planning Commission in June 2004. During that time, Kent
Roessler withdrew the application. Subsequently, Premier Development Group entered into an
agreement with Mr. Roessler for the acquisition of the subject site.
The developer has met with the Albertville Fire Chief and Futrell Fire Consultant and Design
Inc. The plan shows a 33-foot inside turning radius and a minimum of a 43-foot outside turning
radius, which meets the fire Department's apparatus road requirements. The overall plan is
sufficient for truck traffic needed for garage pick-ups and deliveries. As a condition of approval,
all curb islands will be required to be raised with landscaped plantings.
Staff finds that the proposed plan is generally consistent with the Zoning Ordinance. If the
Planning Commission recommends approval of the CUP/PUD and Site and Building Plan
75
Review, staff would recommend that the following conditions be required as part of that
approval:
.
1. A shared access easement agreement shall be entered into with Casey's.
2. The landscaping plan shall be revised to include the following:
a. 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.
b. Additional species and quantities of plantings shall be provided in the
northeastern and southwestern portion of the plan.
c. A cross-section plan of the western portion of the site shall be submitted for City
review and approval.
d. All parking islands shall be raised concrete. Additional landscaping planting
islands shall be required within the striped areas at the perimeter of each parking
area.
3. 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.
4. The grading, drainage, and utility plans shall be subject to comments found in the
City Engineer's report dated March 31, 2005.
5. 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. Wall signage shall be no more
than 48 square feet, which is less than 15% of recommended signage.
6. All light poles shall not exceed twenty (20) feet in height. All lights shall be at 90-
degree cutoff.
7. The Common Interest Community (CIC) declarations, by-laws, and related
association documents shall be subject to the review and approval of the City
Attorney.
8. The applicant shall enter into a Development Agreement with the City and shall be
subject to the review and approval of the City Attorney.
9. Additional comments from City staff, Planning Commission, and City Council.
Chair Leintz asked if there was anyone present regarding the Parkside Commercial CUP/PUD,
Site and Building Plan Review.
Roger Fink, Vice-President of Premier Development Group, Inc. informed the Planning &
Zoning Commission he has taken into consideration the comments shared at the April meeting. .

Mr. Fink stated he had met with the abutting residents in regards to the tree planting and building
layout. The residents are aware of the layout and the construction underway summer of2005.
They have spent a considerable amount of time addressing the landscape and screening issues.
Mr. Fink noted the entrance to the complex is free of parking stalls making it less cumbersome.
Mr. Fink added the sidewalk concern has been addressed. The sidewalk will extend along the
short-sides of the buildings.
As far as the monument signage, which will be illuminated, they will be put on a timer so they
will go off at a specified time each night.
At the April 12, 2005 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting it was asked if a right-in, right-
out. onto CR 19 was possible. Mr. Fink contacted Wright County Highway Dept., Mr. Fingalson
stated there is an agreement with the City that set a specified distance between access points onto
CR 19, and this would not meet the restrict~ons.
Commission members still had a concern with the amount of traffic that will be coming in and
out of the site.
Chair Leintz closed the public hearing at 7 :34 p.m.
MOTION BY Commission member Wagner, seconded by Commission member Kocon to
approve the Parkside Commercial PUD/CUP and Site and Building Plan Review contingent on
the staff recommendations. Motion carried unanimously.
City Planner Brixius stated this application will go before the City Council on May 16,2005.
ANDERSON GARAGE CUP
Chair Leintz opened the public hearing at 7:35 p.m.
City Planner Brixius reported the applicant is seeking to add a detached garage to his property.
The detached garage will be used as storage space and will be located directly behind the
existing house measuring six hundred (600) square feet in area. The subject property is zoned
"R..l", Residential Single Family. A conditional use permit is required for more than one (1)
detached or attached private garage for each single-family dwelling. The proposed detached
garage will be constructed in gable roof fashion and be clad in 12" smooth hardboard lap siding.
The applicant's existing two hundred (200) square foot attached garage will remain and be
converted into bedroom living space.
The applicant has indicated that the side yard setbacks will be thirty-five (35) feet to the west
property line and thirty-five (35) feet to the east property line. Rear yard setback has not been
indicated on the submitted site plan.
77
According to Ordinance (Section 1000.4 Subd. (h) 1-4), a conditional use permit may be granted, .
provided that:
1. There is a demonstrated need and potential for continued use of the structure and the
purpose is stated.
2. The building has an evident re-use function related to the principal use.
3. Accessory building shall be maintained in a manner that is compatible with the adjacent
residential uses and does not present a hazard to public health, safety and general welfare.
4. The provisions of Section 400.2(e) of this Chapter shall be considered and determination
made that the proposed activity is in compliance with such criteria.
Planning staff recommends approval of the CUP. The garage appears to be consistent with the
City's regulations relating to such structures. This recommendation would include the following
conditions:
1. Location of the garage meets the zoning standards for setbacks and does not
interfere with septic drain field.
2.
Garage construction is consistent with the architecture and materials of the existing
home.
3.
Garage will not be used for business or home occupation.
.
Chair Leintz asked if there was anyone present regarding the Anderson Garage CUP.
Mr. & Mrs. Ronald Becker, 11802 - 50th Street NE, informed the commission there is a shared
driveway between the two properties. Mr. Becker would like to know where the proposed
driveway will be for the detached garage.
Mr. Anderson stated the red shed will be removed and the new-detached garage will be
constructed in that area, so the driveway will wrap around.
Mr. Becker then had a concern with the headlights shining into his residence. He stated he
would like some kind of screening from vehicle headlights.
Mr. Anderson would try to save as many trees as possible to screen the vehicle headlights.
There was discussion on the materials to be used for the driveway.
Mr. Anderson would use some Class 5 gravel to grade it.
Chair Leintz closed the public hearing at 7:47 p.m.
.
78
. MOTION BY Commission member Meza, seconded by Commission member Dorenbush to
approve the Anderson Garage CUP with the staffs recommendations. Motion carried
unanimously.
City Planner Brixius stated this application will go before the City Council on June 6, 2005.
ALBERTVILLE CROSSINGS 3RD I LABEAUX STATION PRELIMINARY PLAT, COMMERCIAL
PUD/CUP, AND SITE AND BUILDING PLAN REVIEW
Chair Leintz opened the public hearing at 7:48 p.m.
City Planner Brixius stated Cascade II Land Company, LLC has submitted an application for
Preliminary Plat and Conditional Use Permit / Planned Unit Development for the development of
Outlot A, Park View Place. The site is located north of 57th Street NE and immediately east of
Albertville Crossings 3rd Addition. The area is currently zoned B-2.
City Planner Brixius noted the property area consists of 8.17 acres. Below is a review of the
submitted plans dated April 12, 2005.
.
The applicant is proposing to subdivide Outlot A into two blocks. Lot 1, Block 1 is 64,647
square feet and Lot 2, Block 1 is 57,150 square feet. Lot 1, Block 2 is 59,181 square feet and Lot
2, Block 2 is 143,635 square feet.
The applicant is proposing a multi-retail tenant building that may include a pharmacy with drive-
through within Lot 1, Block 1. A multi-tenant building with three small restaurants are proposed
within Lot 2, Block 1. A restaurant is proposed for Lot 1, Block 2 and an office and retail area is
proposed for Lot 2, Block 2.
Access to the development will occur off of 57th Street NE via an extension of Lachman Avenue
NE in the center of the building, as well as the northern curb cut for Lot 1, Block 1. Lachman
Avenue is considered a commercial street and was required to align with Coborn's to the south,
which it does.
As a condition of approval, the applicant will be required to enter into a Development Agreement
with the City. The City Attorney shall prepare the Developer's Agreement.
City Planner Brixius concluded stating the applicant is proposing a multi-tenant retail and
commercial space. To accommodate the proposal, the applicant will be required to receive
approval from the City to allow for a CUP/PUD. An additional requirement is required for the
use of shared access within the site area.
.
After review of the applicant's submittal, staff would recommend approval of the CUP/PUD
subject to the conditions outlined herein. The plan offers a mix of retail, office, and restaurant
opportunities and will be designed to reflect other uses within the City. If the Planning
79
Commission recommends and the City Council approves the preliminary plat and CUP /PUD .
application, staff would recommend that approval be based upon the following conditions:
Preliminary Plat

3. Ten foot drainage and utility easements shall be required along the perimeter of the plat.
4. Developer and City will enter into a development agreement that allows parking over the
City's sanitary sewer easement with the understanding that the City may disrupt the parking
area to maintain or repair this utility. All parking lot repair or replacement shall be the
property owner's responsibility and expense.
5. The applicant shall establish recordable easements separate from the preliminary plat for
shared access and parking across the lots. Said easements shall be subject to review and
approval of the City Attorney.

Chair Leintz asked if there was anyone present regarding the Albertville Crossings 3rd I LaBeaux
Station Preliminary Plat, Commercial PUD/CUP, and Site and Building Plan Review.
Dan Green, Architect representing LaBeaux Station commented there are a number of issues to
deal with on the proposed site; one issue is the access off of 57th Street NE lining up. There is a
utility easement, which makes it difficult to align the curb cuts to line up.
Mr. Green informed the Commission only one of the restaurants will have a drive-thru. The
second restaurant will be more of a sit-down style.
Mr. Green explained the layout ofthe site. The applicant wanted to place a number of the
buildings along 57th Street NE with parking lots off to the side, so as you drive by you see the
stores rather than the parking lot.
Commission member had a question in regards to the pharmacy drive-thru. He didn't understand
how that would work on the site. Will there be more than one lane?
Mr. Green stated there will be only one stacking-lane, which would not require a menu board. It
would be one window to drop-off or pick-up your prescription.
.
Commission members would like to see a limit or restrict the amount of window signage
allowed. City Planner Brixius recommended limiting it to 10% of window space.
The monument signage would need to meet the ordinance requirements, as well as for the drive-
thru.
Mr. Green brought to the Commission's attention there would be traffic directional signage
throughout the site.
The applicant will work in trying to direct the truck traffic flow to the new proposed Lachman
Avenue NE.
City Planner Brixius will work with City Engineer Kasma in regards to installing a sidewalk as
part of the Preliminary Plat approval.
Council liaison Berning reported on the history of the sidewalk. When the sidewalk was initially
installed the construction ended at the Church. Then when we constructed the Fire Hall it was
extended. Mr. Berning stated it was the Council's intent to continue the sidewalk/trail along 57th
Street NE when the site(s) are constructed. Also to connect to the STMA Ice Arena. .

OTHER BUSINESS
BRIGGS APARTMENT pun CONCEPT PLAN
City Planner Brixius reported in January ofthis year, Briggs Properties approached the City to
inquire if the remaining vacant 4.25-acre parcel of the Westwind PUD was available for the
development of a high-density apartment project. In response to their inquiry, we sent them
documentation of the site's history. This history reveals that in 1996, the City approved a
83
Comprehensive Plan amendment changing the land use for the site from high density residential .
to medium density residential.
City Planner Brixius went on to state this change in the Land Use Plan was precipitated by a
development request by Komovich Development Company Inc. that proposed 40 townhome
units for the site. The City Council agreed with the reduction in density and approved the
Comprehensive Plan change.
Currently, the site remains zoned PUD and in consideration of a development request, the City
would be guided by the medium density residential land use of the Comprehensive Plan, the R-5,
Medium Density Residential District standards, and the general townhome performance
standards of the Albertville Zoning Ordinance.
In consideration of a concept plan, the City is not giving a development approval; rather it is only
providing input related to land use and site design that may make a project more appealing.
In 1996, the City determined that the appropriate land use for the proposed site was medium
density residential. In recent years, the City has not been satisfied with type and quality of the
multiple- family development that has taken place. The change in land use will be contingent on
the applicant's ability to satisfy the City's expectations for quality market rate luxury apartments.
City Planner Brixius stated that Pat Brigg's was present to answer any questions the commission
members may have.
Mr. Briggs informed the commission the site would be referred to as Zachman's Point. Mr.
Briggs wanted to find out if the City of Albertville would support the concept plan present.
.
Mr. Briggs stated they would strive to make the buildings blend or fit in with the residential
zoning. There would be two (2) accesses to the site, one designated as "IN" only with the second
access designated as "OUT" only. They are proposing a three-story building; the third story
would have vaulted ceilings.
Mr. Briggs went on to explain there would be a rewards program for the tenants. The longer a
tenant stays they would receive improvements to the apartment. Examples of that would be
installation of a ceiling fan, possibility of a washer and dryer within their unit.
Mr. Briggs stated there would be a low voltage security system. To activate you would turn your
television to a specified channel to view the areas of the outdoor grounds.
Another amenity to the site would be storage. In front of the underground parking stall would be
a storage cabinet.
Chair Leintz approved the concept plan with the staff s recommendation for luxury apartments.
BANNER SIGNS (DISCUSSION ITEM)
.
84
.
.
.
City Planner Brixius stated the City is considering amendments to its Sign Ordinance pertaining
to banner signs. These amendments would accommodate some temporary signs in Highway
Commercial and General Business districts. The comprehensive Sign Ordinance will take
precedence over Zoning Ordinance.
Enclosed in your packet are amendments to the Sign Ordinance, Sections 9 and 10 for your
review. These changes are reflective of our dialogue and wishes to regulate the number and
placement of temporary signage. Hopefully with clear regulation pertaining to these items, we
can avoid issues related to the visual blight that is created by the over abundance of these signs.
These amendments are subject to further modification ifthe Council wishes to include.
City Planner Brixius reported staff took an inventory of the downtown businesses to
accommodate their signage needs.
City Planner Brixius concluded staff will publish the public hearing and bring the amendments to
the sign ordinance at the June 14, 2005 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting.

(Historic photos provided by Wayne Kessler and Don Soderlund)
Borrowing land from our children, what will we leave them?
Pelican Lake historically magnet for waterfowl- rare resource
. Changes to landscape
· Loss of wetlands .
· Agricultural practices
<Rural
· Development (40-50 ac/day lost-choice of what is lost?)
Urban
Effects of changes

. Water levels rising 1979 - 2003
. 53% increase in size oflake
. Loss of shallow lake character
. Loss of Vegetation, loss of diversity
. Disappearance of islands and surrounding vegetation beds
. Wave action
What are all the factors contributing to these changes? = 64 million $ question
What can be done to restore Pelican Lake to afunctioning shallow lake?
. Look at the watershed scale- 13000 ac of drainage
Feasibility of emptying the glass - Outlet structure
Potential impacts to downstream neighbors
Crow River listed on Impaired Waters List
.

DU perspective
. What is happening is a natural fluctuation
(* Wayne Kessler commented that the historical photos were from the
early 1900 's and lake level was same as today- there was no agricultural
ditching or tiling being done at that time.)
. MDNR Designated Wildlife Lake - MDNR has the authority to maximize benefits
as long as no one else is harmed by action.

. Part of feasibility study? May need further study
. Complex wetland system
· This project ahead of City of St Michaels
· It is in City's plan for future- need! interest may not be at same point as DU study
MPCA
· Crow River impaired for turbidity-affects what can be discharged
.
96
.
.
.
. Pelican Lake's water quality rated as Poor because it is Phosphorus, 'P' rich
Fits levels for nutrient impairment
Additional runoff is issue
In lake recirculation and regeneration of 'P'
Vegetative invasives-ex. curly pond leaf
. Address water quality in conjunction with water levels
Benefits of Lake Management
. In-lake management - Help? Yes, but How much?
. Watershed management -improve quality and quantity
Hard to predict benefit
CREP (CRP & RIM)
WRP exists but needs more participants- is a voluntary program
. Surrounding wetland enhancement! restoration
. MPCA could possibly help in determining additional loads to lake with another year of data
collection (previous data was collected June-September 2003)
. TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load) Study -requires Phase I modelinglbudgeting of nutrients
. Lake not yet "listed" - additional data collection= possible listing! = more attention!
. Can Water Quality Monitoring be incorporated into DU RFP?
. Precedent of Swan Lake restoration - improved water quality
. Crow River TMDL Study scheduled for 2006
More water into River= concern
Timed release of benefit?
Issues/Discussion con.
. ? in there the option of more that one outlet?
. City of Monticello? Capacity? Ditch 33 not an option.
. New system to North? Would require 20 to 30' cut
Landowners
. Does project have potential to protect the Crow River?
. Started process of finding a solution to the Pelican Lake changes in 1985-86, then 90's &
in 2003.
. Opinions range from
Frustration
Apathy
"Its about time!"
99% supportive of project now
Let's make it a "Go! Go! Go!
. Mostly Large landowners and Ag around lake, which helps to protect it
. Need for $ to get project to completion
. Might be best to outlet the Lake to Mississippi River
. St Michael ditch currently in need of repair
97
. 1917-1921- New ditch study never completed, supported by Citizens except those on Lake back.
then Fisheries
. Turbidity is a problem
. Fish composition approximately 90% Back bullhead and 1 0% game fish
. Drawdown = benefits include
Reduction of fish
Aeration of soils
Ability to restock desirable fish
. Winter kill no longer happening because of depth of Lake
