After interviewing we offered the job to Sean Vold. He accepted the offer and began working on Monday, February 10, 2003. The Wastewater Treatment Plant continues to operate well. The cold weather makes it more difficult. I had some frozen valves on the digester, but was able to un-thaw them without too much difficulty. The clarifier doors like to freeze shut and require a lot of attention. The oxidation ditch forms a layer of ice on it. There was a water leak at 11685 515` Street. It was fixed on February 4s'. The fittings on the curb stop were leaking. We replace the curb stop with a new one.

The plans include replacing tower elements with smaller raised parapet elements at several entrances, eliminating the curving concrete accent feature in the plaza paving, replacing seatwalls with curbing, and replacing decorative concrete block with an EIFS material at the bases of columns. The letter from the applicant indicates that the proposed changes are primarily driven by leasing issues relating to tenant locations and lines of sight. The letter states that some of the revisions are due to economic concerns. Attached for reference: Exhibit A — Letter from Applicant dated February 5, 2003 Exhibit B —Approved Plaza Layout Plan Exhibit C — Proposed Plaza Layout Plan Exhibit D — Roof Plans, Approved and Proposed Exhibit E — Building D, East Elevation, Approved and Proposed Exhibit F — Building G, North Elevation, Approved and Proposed Exhibit G — Building G, East Elevation, Approved and Proposed Exhibit H — Building G, South Elevation, Approved and Proposed Exhibit I —Approved Landscape Plan ISSUES ANALYSIS Proposed Building Changes — Towers and Parapets. The roof plan in Exhibit D shows the elimination of four tower elements located on the northeast comer of Building D, the north side of Building G, and the northeast comer of Building G. The towers are replaced with smaller raised parapet elements. These changes may be acceptable in that they allow better lines of sight within the development and create more open space within the plaza for pedestrian circulation. The proposed changes to the south side of Building G are not clear. The proposed building elevation in Exhibit H shows a tower feature on the west end of the south side and shows a raised parapet feature near the middle of the south side. The proposed site plan, however, appears to show no change at the west end of the south side, rather than a tower feature. We view favorably revising the entry elements on the south side of Building G as shown on the elevation in Exhibit H. This tower relocation is desirable because the tower draws attention away from the utility area and provides more uniform spacing of the tower elements along the south side of the development. The towers and other entry features that extend out into the plaza provide a nice transition between interior and exterior spaces and provide some protection from the weather. They also add architectural interest to the facades. Elements on the building elevations are not labeled; however, it appears that all public entrances to the building would, at a minimum, have a fabric awning to provide some protection from the elements and architectural interest. The applicant also proposes to revise plans for column bases to use EIFS material, consistent with the rest of the material palate, rather than decorative concrete block. This is a minor change that the Planning Commission and City Council will need to evaluate, along with other proposed changes, to determine whether the City continues to be comfortable with the proposed overall architecture of the project. Proposed Plaza Changes. The proposed site plan in Exhibit C shows that raised concrete planters/seatwalls would be replaced with 6" concrete curb in four locations. This change would reduce seating area in the plaza. The number of benches in the plaza is not proposed to change. Besides providing seating, the raised planters/seatwalls also have the advantage of raising plantings closer to eye level for increased visual interest. We do not have a favorable opinion of this proposed change because it has a potential negative impact on both the function and aesthetics of the plaza. The revised site plan includes elimination of the curving concrete accent feature in the paving of the plaza. This will not affect the function of the area, and the revised plaza design appears to continue to have sufficient variety. If the curving concrete feature is eliminated, the landscape plan should also be revised to eliminate the curving theme and relate instead to the remaining shapes. RECOMMENDATION If the Planning Commission and City Council are comfortable with the overall level of design and architectural style of the proposed plans, we recommend approval of the revised site and building plans subject to the following conditions: 1. The site plan should be revised to show a tower entry feature near the west end of the south side of Building G that is consistent with the design of the other tower features in the project. 2. All public entrances to the buildings must have protection from the weather from either an entry feature roof or an awning. 3. The site plan must include raised concrete planters/seatwalls consistent with the original plan. PC: Mike Couri Pete Carlson th e COLLnBORA IYE+inc February 5, 2003 Mr. Alan R.

As outlined in our meeting with you on January 29, 2003, these changes are primarily driven by leasing issues due to tenant locations and lines of sight. Some of the other revisions are due to economic concerns. The requested revisions are as follows: 1. Buil in D: See Roof Plan Layout and East Elevation. Tower element has been revised to two smaller raised parapet elements. 2. Building G (North Elevation): See Roof Plan Layout and North Elevation. Two raised parapet and two tower elements have been revised to two raised parapet elements. 3. Building G (East Elevation): See Roof Plan Layout and East Elevation. Tower element has been revised to two smaller raised parapet elements. 4. Building G (South Element): See Roof Plan Layout and South Elevation.

City Engineer DATE: February 13, 2003 RE: Shared Sewer Service with Otsego Albertville, Minnesota SEH No. A-ALBEV 0301.00 14 I recently talked with Mike Robertson, the Otsego City Administrator, about providing sewer service to portions of land with the City of Otsego. Specifically, that part of Otsego south of I-94 and west of Albertville, and part of Otsego immediately east of Albertville's wasterwater treatment facility. I suggested the following concept to Mike regarding why Albertville would want to provide sewer availability to portions of Otsego. If Albertville can provide sewer availability to identified properties at a lower cost than at the current Otsego rate, the properties would still be charged the established Otsego rate, and the difference would be used to establish a fund used for transportation improvements benefiting both communities. Specific transportation improvements have yet to be identified. Part of this analysis would also review if there were property in Albertville in which Otsego may be able to provide municipal services more cost effectively than Albertville. This concept is an attempt to use development as a way to create a fund to help pay for transportation improvements in the area. As you know, transportation improvements can be very expensive and we need to look at every opportunity to generate funds for this type of improvement. Please note, that this concept has only been discussed at staff level and has not been discussed with the Otsego City Council. I know Otsego is not interested in entering any kind of agreement where there would be a sharing of taxes from the property that would receive sewer service from Albertville. Please add this to the February 18`s agenda for consideration by the council. The action requested is a motion to continue discussions with Otsego staff to determine if Albertville can provide sewer availability to certain property in Otsego at a lower cost, where the savings can be used for transportation improvements. djg c: Mike Robertson, Otsego City Administrator ..-Wl 0-oM uY.-s. sea-021303.doc Shad EIGae HwdWmw Inc. • Yw, TnMd Resource • Equal OppWwiy Employer �SEH ME 5df�i 1200 251h Avenue South, P.O.

Approximately 7,000 square feet of wetlands would be filled for the proposed improvements, thereby requiring approximately 14,000 square feet of mitigation. Attached is a map indicating a possible mitigation site in the Barthel Industrial Park. This property is adjacent to Mold Tech Industries. The area is approximately 22,000 square feet, is adjacent to an existing wetland, and the land is quite a bit lower than Barthel Industrial Drive. It does not appear that this property is very buildable, and creating a wetland mitigation site would be the best possible.use for this property. Please add this item to the February 18t' agenda for consideration by the council. The action requested would be concurrence to create a wetland mitigation site on this property. djg Enclosure c: Shannon Smith, SEH (w/enclosure) .,:we...W Wmd—rrrw Wd-021103.dm Shod Elliod Herdrickv Inc. .

Attached is the memo I presented to the city council in October 2002 in which I describe the rationale for participating in a Transportation Study for Eastern Wright County. On February 4, 2003, I met with representatives from St. Michael, Otsego, Wright County, Hennepin County, and Mn/DOT to discuss the need for the study and its benefits, scope of work and responsibilities of each entity, and a schedule to complete the work. As you are aware, this study was initiated by the City of St. Michael and their desire to obtain an access point onto I-94 at Nabor Avenue. To obtain permission to build a new interchange on an interstate highway, the Federal Highway Administration and Mn/DOT require an extensive study of the effected portion of the interstate highway, as well as the adjoining transportation system. This amount of work is reflected in the attached scope of work, of which will be the responsibility of the City of St. Michael. Even a modification of an existing interchange, such as at CSAH 19, requires a significant study, as outlined in the attached scope of work. To minimize duplication of effort, it makes sense for the cities to work cooperatively in this study. To ensure the study is completed in an objective manner, the Wright County Highway Engineer agreed to provide oversight of the study. In addition, representatives from Mn/DOT and Hennepin County Highway Department will be reviewing results of the study. It is hoped and expected, that if Albertville, St. Michael, and Otsego agree to final recommendations in the study, Wright County will incorporate the study their Transportation Plan. Please add this item to the February 18th agenda for consideration by the council. djg Enclosures c: Jaimison Sloboden, SEH SP (w/enclosures) w.wxam t moorn�rm t zm.a« Short Ellioll Henri elmon Inc. .

City Engineer DATE: October 21, 2002 RE: Northeastern Wright County Transportation Study Albertville, Minnesota SEH No. P-ALBEV0214.00 14 The City of Albertville and surrounding communities are reaching a point where the current roadway infrastructure is both incomplete and inadequate. The recent traffic analysis and modeling that has been completed indicates that with full development of the city of Albertville and only partial development of Otsego and St. Michael, that CSAH 37 and 19 will experience congestion. Albertville will not be able to build the existing corridors to a reasonable width to accommodate the congestion. CSAH 19, with 6 basic through and dual turn lanes at each intersection would result in significant right-of-way costs and a very un-livable condition for non -motoring traffic. Another recent study completed by MNDOT on the I-94 corridor indicates that freeway operations in the Albertville area will have significant congestion in the near future. The I-94 corridor is a fast growing corridor and traffic levels will reach the point of needing 8 to 10 lanes to accommodate traffic. Based on these two studies and on follow up discussions with Wright County, the City of St. Michael, State and Federal officials, it is clear that the City of Albertville is at the center of a number of transportation issues for both local arterials and for freeway access. SEH has been meeting with the City of St. Michael staff and their transportation consultant in developing a scope of work for a larger area study to develop a plan for new regional arterials that will provide local circulation to relieve existing arterials and to develop a freeway access plan that compliments the local circulation system. The primary reasons for the City of Albertville to participate in a Northeastern Wright County Transportation Study is twofold: 1. The development of a local arterial system will provided relief to the CSAH 37 and 19 corridors thus reducing the need to widen these roads beyond the current right-of-way plans.

The interchanges serving Albertville have been the subject of much discussion regarding the future configuration. The process for modifying interchanges on the freeway system is based on a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) policy, which requires that an access project be analyzed in the context of any existing and future adjacent interchange access points. The City of St. Michael is pursuing a new interchange at Naber Avenue. This interchange request will require a study analyzing adjacent interchanges, including the Albertville interchanges. The approach to this study will build upon the previous modeling effort prepared for the City of Albertville in April 2002. The April effort has been utilized in making decisions for the proposed CSAH 19 widening project and in the phase 3 Outlet Mall analyses. The following elements from the April effort will carry forward into the next study, thereby reducing the overall scope and effort: 1. Traffic Analysis Zone Information: The proposed study will include a larger regional travel demand model. The April study was prepared with a larger purpose in mind. The April study included the development of detailed TAZ's, which will include existing and planned development. This information will ensure that the larger analysis will incorporate the nuances and details of Albertville's street network. 2. Traffic Count Data: Extensive turning movement counts were collected at the major intersections. The new study calls for additional counts. The count already collected will corroborate any new counts and will be used to reduce the total number of counts needed. 3. Traffic Operations Model: The operations model has been developed for the principal road system. This model will be reused to analyze future alternatives. As a result of the initial study, a savings of approximately $30,000 can be acknowledged. Insights gained from the previous study will be immeasurable in terms of scope. Without the previous work the magnitude of the problems Albertville will face without a more substantial transportation system would not have been understood.

February,2003 JFZedar r reek GOLFF COURSE - ALBERTVILLE Dear Linda, I would like to request an exception to the City's Sign Ordinance. The golf course sign has been on that site since 1999 and we are the only golf course in the community. Since our inception we have offered Albertville residents a 15% discount off of our standard greens fees and the golf course has grown to be a nice amenity for the residents of Albertville. Since there are no other golf courses in Albertville, a golf course exception to the City's Sign Ordinance would not create a great deal of unsightly signs. I do agree that that corner is rather unsightly at this time. However, we posted a classy looking sign on that corner and when we were the only sign posted at that site it was not unsightly. Thank you for your consideration, .

I am, worried about the excessive amount of traffic racing through our neighborhood in search of the outlet mall. Although it is good to have some traffic past our models, etc, these people are typically in a hurry or frustrated that they ended up in the wrong place. They are only concerned about turning around and getting out FAST. I realize that there is small sign on the left side of the 1-94 and Co. Rd. 37 exit ramp. However this seems to be inadequate. I recall the first time I took the exit when the mall first opened. I also missed the sign because I naturally was in the right lane as I knew the mall was on the North side of the freeway. I too had to turn around. Could you please post a more prevalent sign on the ramp, perhaps further down so people have time to move to the left lane of the ramp. Anticipating that people are going to ignore that sign, and try to find a short-cut, could we then post a sign by the Land of Lakes tile company directing mall goers down MacIver Ave NE to 70th? At least they would be routed down a street that eventually would get them onto Co. Rd 19 by the mall and Slumberland. Perhaps we could also request an increased Sheriff presence during peak Mall traffic time in Towne Lakes to slow down the mall seekers who insist on speeding through our residential development. Thank -you for your consideration. John Munkberg 11611 Laketowne Vw 763-463-1234
