to install the sidewalk?
PW Supervisor Guimont stated that the city could install the sidewalk in 2006. There are a
couple of streetlights that would need to be moved. The city would have to absorb the cost
unless the city were doing a street improvement project then Center Point Energy would pay for

for construction in Spring 2006.

completed by December 31,2005. .
FINANCE DEPARTMENT
Accounts Receivable Reoort
Finance Director Lannes reported on the total accounts receivable billed from 2004 through

N extel Phone Uodate
Finance Director Lannes stated that Council asked staffto research the Nextel phone service.
Staffhas contacted Nextel and Verizon Wireless to pose the question council had regarding the
rates, There would be no cost savings if we were to. change to Verizon Wireless. After several
conversations with Nextel, staffwas able to change the Nextel plan to reduce the cost and
provide more service options. Under the previous plan the city was paying an average of $40 per
phone per month. Staff changed to a new Government Value Plan, which would cost an average
of $29 per phone per month.

.
Council was pleased with the report and the cost savings.
Charter Communication Uodate
Finance Director Lannes reported that Council directed staff to contact Charter Communications
to investigate the fees for Internet service at the Fire Hall as to why it was twice what the City
Hall was paying.
Finance Director Lannes informed the Council that the Fire Hall has a CBN Internet connection,
which is a business account and allows access in every room and multiple computers without
loss of quality and speed. Charter wired the Fire Hall with the CBN line due to the fact it is not
considered residential access. When comparing the residential access to the CBN access the
residential line would not have the speed and access in multiple rooms.
Another way to compare the costs involved would be if a resident wanted the speed and quality
in multiple rooms and computers within the dwelling the residentwould pay an additional
$45.00 pet room or computer to the service. In conclusion the $80.00 per month service fee is a
savings for the multiple room accessibility, along with the quality and speed ofInternet service.
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
T-Sauare Business Park: Preliminary Plat: :Site and Buildim! Plan Review: Final Plat:
Develooer's A2I'eement (not ready)
City Planner Brixius reported that T -Square Properties are seeking a preliminary plat and a site
and building plan review for a proposed T -square Business Park project. The site of tne
proposed project is located west of Kyler Avenue Northeast, north of 51st street Northeast and
south of 53rd Street Northeast. The site is also referred to as Prairie Run, Outlot B. The total site
consists of 4.61 deeded acres and is currently zoned B-2 Limited Business District.
The applicant has requested that Outlot B be subdivided into Lot I, Lot 2 aild Outlot A. Outlot
A will be 1.7 acres, Lot 1 will be approximately one (1) acre and Lot 2 will be 1.9 acres. The
applicant has proposed that Outlot A be dedicated to the City Albertville.
The only proposed access to the site is on the south side of Lot.l from Kyler Avenue NE. This
proposed drive requires moving the location of the existing curb cut, which is placed to align
with the entrance to the Shoppes of Prairie Run. Staff recommends keeping the entrance drive to
match the existing curb cut. We recommend this. change for three reasons:
1) Keeping the existing curb cut will deter the reconstruction needed for anew curb cut.
2) An entrance drive in the location of the existing curb cut will allow delivery trucks area to
turn around on site.
3) The trash enclosure can be moved from the front ofthe property to the north side of the
building and still be easily accessed.
The change in entrance drive will require the lot to be widened ten (10) feet to the south to meet
the required parking needs. The increase in lot width will allow access to the relocated trash
enclosure by restricting parking in the stall at the northwest comer of the lot. A cross easement
9
for access between the Lot 1 and Lot 2 should be prepared to allow for access between the two
lots if development were to occur on Lot 2. As a condition of the site approval, proposed access .
location must be subject to approval of the City Engineer.
The applicant does not agree to these recommended changes. The applicant would prefer to keep
the entrance drive as proposed and move the location of the trash enclosure back from the
parking lot on the south side of the building with access from the parking lot. They feel the
south access would reduce through traffic in front of their building from motorist traveling to
commercial uses on Lot 2 to the south. We recognize the applicant's alternative; however, a site
plan of this proposal will need to be submitted to the Planning Commission for review. .
The drive aisle ofthe parking lot should be widened from 24 feet to 26 feet for adequate delivery
truck circulation and access to the trash enclosure. The site plan is subject to the review and
approval by the Fire Inspector to ensure appropriate fire lanes have been provided to
accommodate the City's fire protection equipment.
A park dedication fee in the amount of$21,000.00 shall be dedicated to the City of Albertville's
park fund.
43,086 sq. ft. or 0.99 acres (LotI) + 1.9 acres (Lot 2) = 2.9 acres
2.9 acres * $7,500 per acre of developed land = $21,000.00
The applicant has proposed to dedicate Outlot A to the City; not specifically as a park.
.
The site plan shows one location for a monument sign at the entry drive. The applicant has also
submitted multiple varieties of signs to be used on the site. The Planning Commission and City
Council should comment of the style of sign used at the entry. Sign details and dimension shall
be submitted for review.
City Planner Brixius concluded stating that the Planning Commission should review the attached
materials and the issues addressed herein in determining a recommendation to the City Council.
Our staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat and site and building plan based upon the
following conditions:
Site and Building Plan Review and Preliminary Plat. The information provided by the applicant
gives basis for approval or denial of the application and shall address both existing conditions
and changes that will occur during and after development. Our staff believes that the submitted
application material meets the minimum requirements for approval of the site and building plan
and preliminary plat and is subject to the following conditions:
1) The entrance drive shall be relocated to the existing curb cut. To accommodate this
change the lot shall widened ten (l0) feet to the south to provide the appropriate number
of parking stalls. The parking stall in the northwest comer of the parking lot shall be

widened from 24 feet to 26 to accommodate delivery trucks. The applicant shall submit

Plat and Site and Building Plan Review within the City of Albertville as amended and on file in
the office of the City Clerk. Motion carried unanimously.
Shonnes at Towne Lakes Phase II: Preliminary Plat: Conditional Use Permit (CUP): Planned
UnitDevelonment (PUD)
City Planner Brixius reported that Granite City Real Estate, LLC has submitted an application
for Preliminary Plat and Development Stage PUD for the development of Shop pes ofTowIie
Lakes Phase II. A concept plan was submitted by the applicant and presented to the Planning
Commission in September and the City Council on October 3,2005. The development of the
Shoppes of Towne Lakes Phase II is intended to be an extension of the development plan, which
occurred during Phase I. In exchange for the bank located on the northwestern portion of Phase I,
the City required that plans for Phase II have two restaurants sites.
After review during the concept stage, the Planning Commission recommended that the applicant
proceed to the preliminary plat and development plan stage. The applicant has made revisions to .
the plan including landscaping, building design details, grading, drainage, and utility plans, as
well as setback issues addressed during the concept plan. In order to proceed with the
application, the following will be required to be approved by the City.
The applicant has demonstrated on the site plan that proposed principal buildings will function;
however, a more standard lot configuration will be required in order to avoid future property
hardships and disputes. As a requirement of preliminary plat approval, cross access and parking
easements will be required for each of the lots within the development.
City Planner Brixius noted that the applicant has made many of the changes recommended
during the concept plan stage. These include changes related to setbacks, landscaping, grading,
drainage, and new plans related to lighting, streets, and utilities. The overall plan is consistent
the concept plan proposed in September. The overall plan includes a mix of retail, commercial,
and restaurants within the Towne Lakes area.
Staff has reviewed the Preliminary Plat and Development Stage PUD and found that the
proposed plan meets the conditions of the PUD as defined in the Ordinance, subject to

submitted and reviewed asa separate application.
Additional Conditions
I. The applicant shall enter into a development agreement with the City. The City Attorney
shall prepare the development agreement.
AdditiQnal comments from staff, Planning Commission, or City Council
City Planner Brixius went on to explain that at your request, I have reviewed the revised plans
for the Shoppes at Towne Lakes II. The developer has revised the plans to reflect the Planning
Commission's recommendations as discussed in October. Among these changes include the
following:
1. The developer has revised the sidewalk width from 5 feet to 7 feet
2. The parking lots have been revised on Lot 2 and Lot 3 to allow for a landscaped island.
3. The turn lanes on West Laketowne Drive NE were widened.
4. Easements were added over the water main and sanitary sewer.
.

.
.
5. Hydrology calculations have been submitted that address Phase Two and future phases to the
north.
6. A signage and striping plan has been included.
The applicant has also enclosed a letter to the City Engineer addressing engineering issues raised
as part of Preliminary Plat review. As part of the Preliminary Plat review, the City Engineer
recommended that the City consider granting approval of the plat subject to the construction of a
bituminous trail along CSAH 19. According to the developer, the construction of a bituminous
trail along CSAH 19 appears to be premature as the addition of a trail should be considered as
part of the upgrade to CSAH 19. Furthermore, construction ofa trail would likely impact the
wetland on the southwestern comer of the plat. The City Council should review this issue prior
to granting approval of the preliminary plat.
Council. brought up the concern regarding the restaurants within the site. Council thought they
made it clear they did not want to see a restaurant with a drive-thru.
Staff did not recall the restriction on a drive-thru, but did note Council wanted two restaurants
with one being a sit-down type.
Dan Temple, the developer for the site, brought to the Council attention they brought the exterior
material for the buildings to higher standards and are implementing other amenities throughout
the site.
City Attorney Couri recommended to the Council that the approval be tabled until the November
21, 2005 City Council meeting to allow staff additional time to research the restaurants and
review the newly revised site plans presented at the meeting tonight.
MOTION BY Council member Vetsch, seconded by Council member Berning to approve
Resolution No. 2005-50 entitled A Resolution Approving the Shoppes at Towne Lakes Phase II
Preliminary Plat; Planned Unit Development (PUD); Conditional Use Permit (CUP) within the
City of Albertville as amended and on file in the office of the City Clerk. Motion carried
unanimously.
ENGINEERING

to address the concerns with the flooding and implement the existing County Ditch 9 Agreement.
Council brought to staffs attention the berms are growing in the Shoppes at Towne Lakes Phase

with the city for nearly 3 I -years. PW Supervisor Guimont, Mr. Lindsay and I have met to
discuss a transitional plan since it would involve the snowplowing season. Mr, Lindsay agreed
to be available to assist with snowplowing.

would agree to the majority of the proposal with January 15,2006 as the effective date instead of
March 31, 2006.

Albertville Rovaltv Float
Council member Berning brought it to the Mayor and other Council member's attention the new
float is larger than the previous float. The Royalty members are asking if the city would consider
purchasing a vehicle to pull the vehicle. At this time the Royalty committee has been soliciting
car dealers to allow them to use one of their vehicles to pull the float from parade to parade. The
parents are not comfortable pulling the almost 9,000 pound float around the surrounding
community.
Council asked where the vehicle and float would be stored and who would cover the insurance
on the items. Those are a couple of items to work out once we get the commitment to purchase
the vehicle. There is an option to allow other non-profit organizations to raise funds to assist
with the purchase.
ADJOURNMENT
MOTION BY Mayor Peterson, seconded by Council member Vetsch to adjourn at .10: 15 p.m.

RE:
2004 School Pedestrian and Bike Trail
Fence Relocation Invoice
Albertville, Minnesota
SEHNo. A-ALBEV0405.00
Please find enclosed an invoice from St. Michael - Albertville Public Schools. The invoice is in
the amountof$3744.00 and is for relocation ofan existingfence along the 50th Street trail. As
you may recall, the fence relocation was originally to be done as part of the City's contract with
Buffalo Bituminous. At the request of the School District, the work was deleted from the City's
contract, resulting in a savings from the original contract amount.
You may also recall the School District requested some additional drainage facilities.in the
vicinity of 50th Street and LaBeauxAvenue (CSAH 19). The cost of the additional work was
$1537.00 and was identified in Change Order #1 of the City's contract with Buffalo Bituminous.
SEH recommends payment to the School District for the amount of $2207.00. This amount is
the difference between the amounts already paid by the School District and City, respectively.
If you have any questions, please feel free to me at 651.490.2147.

From:

Re:
General Update
.
1. ARENA: The arena is on schedule and if the weather cooperates the roof should be on by
the first week of December. To date we have encountered three issues. 1) soil
corrections; 2) issues with the parking lot grade requiring installation of a curb on the
south side of the building instead of parking lot bumpers and lastly 3) we are pursuing
information on a recommendation from the contractor and architect to upgrade the
heating system from electric baseboard to forced air. Now that the STMA bond issues has
passed perhaps this can be funded from that $500,000 amount. We will work with the
school to see what arrangements can be made.
2. CITY HALL: Bonestroo and City Staff are doing our due diligence to issue the
construction contract for City Hall. The trees were removed on November 8, 2005 and
the garages were removed on November 10,2005. Bonestroo is working on completion
of the City Hall Plat. Apreconstruction conference was held on Tuesday, November
15th. The contractor plans on starting about February 1, 2006. This date was determined
based on when pre-cast concrete can be delivered.
3. KEN LINDSAY RETIREMENT: I continue to work with Mr. Lindsay to solidify an
agreement within the parameters set by the Council. We have begun to advertise for a
new Public Works employee with applications accepted through December 16, 2005 with
the goal to make an offer to someone by year-end. Please seethe RCA (Request for
Council Action) in your council packet.

Lindsay Retirement
RE:
BACKGROUND
Following the November 7th City Council meeting, I met with Ken Lindsay and discussed the
Council 'swishes not to have Mr. Lindsay's replacement overlap during a transition period prior
to Mr. Lindsay's last day of employment. After visiting with Mr. Lindsay, the only way to
achieve the City Council's goal is to postpone hiring a new employee until April 1, 2006 or when
Mr. Lindsay notifies the City of his last day of employment. Mr. Lindsay is not interested in
leaving prior to March 31, 2006 and not having reached agreement with the City on this issue,
Mr. Lindsay will continue to. work. In order to get someone hired. for snow removal, I have
initiated advertising for a new Public Works Employee with applications due by
December 16, 2005. Depending on the decision ofthe City Council, we can terminate those
advertisements.
CITY ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS:
On November 4,2005, Public Works Supervisor Guimont and I were able to reach an agreement
that I feel is good for both the City and Mr. Lindsay. It is my recommendation that we take
advantage of Mr. Lindsay's interest to retire now, as come spring he may decide not to retire. I
don't say that in a negative way, but again, I think the proposed agreement is both good for Mr.
Lindsay and the City. My recommendation remains the same as follows:
RECOMMENDATION
Accept Ken Lindsay's letter to retire in good standing with the City effective
March 31, 2006. Approve the City entering into a Memorandum of Understanding
creating a bank of "additional leave" which includes the 160 hours of vacation and any
accrued sick leave, which Ken has and will earn between now and March 31,2006. The
"additional leave" must be used prior to March 31, 2006 or would be lost. Further to
grant Mr. Lindsay an allowance for individual health insurance for the months of April,
May and June, equaling $1,3827.70 dollars, which at the option ofthe employee could be
paid as additional compensation.
51
If you don't agree with this recommendation, other options the Council may consider are:
1) Mr. Lindsay will continue to work.
2) Offer to pay Mr. Lindsay's wages and benefits through March 31, 2006 and not have him
scheduled to work once the replacement is hired.
I will put this on the consent agenda for Monday's meeting. If you agree with the
recommendation I have attached a copy of the Memorandum of Understanding memorializing
the agreement.

Re:

The City hereby accepts your notice to retire on March 31, 2006. Congratulations on reaching
this milestone in your life. The City agrees to create an "additional bank" ofleave,whichyou
must coordinate with your Supervisor to use. The City will deposit 160-hours ofleave to cover
the aUeged discrepancy when the City transitionedfrom accruing vacation on an annual basis to
a monthly basis. Further the City will allow you to transfer any of your sick leave into this
"additional bank". You must use this "additional leave" prior to March 31, 2006 or lose it.
Further, the City will pay for your individual health insur&nce for the months of April, May and
June. At your discretion, you may take this benefit as additional compensation. After March 31,
2006, you will be given the opportunity to carry health insurance with the City at your own
expense.
We wish you the best of luck in your retirem(mt.

Ken Lindsay
