ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
November 5, 2001
Albertville City Hall 7:00 PM
PRESENT: Mayor John Olson, Councilmembers LeRoy Berning, Keith Franklin, Scott
Wallace, and John Vetsch, City Attorney Mike Couri, City Engineer Pete Carlson and City
Administrator Linda Goeb
Mayor Olson called the regular meeting of the Albertville City Council to order.
Wallace made a motion to adopt the agenda as presented. Franklin seconded the motion.
All voted aye.
Berning made a motion to approve the minutes of the October 15, 2001, meeting as
presented. Franklin seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Wallace made a motion to approve the minutes of the October 17, 2001, continued meeting
as presented. Berning seconded the motion. Wallace, Olson, Berning, and Vetsch voted aye.
Franklin abstained. The motion carried.
Mayor Olson asked if anyone wished to address the Council under Citizen Forum.
Kerry Johnson, 6096 Kalland Circle NE, addressed the Council about the
Second Wind lighted pylon sign at the Albertville Plaza site. Johnson questioned whether the
height of the sign was legally permitted. City Administrator Goeb explained that the original
Westwind PUD Agreement allowed for two pylon signs on the property at a height of 75'.
Rob Rich, 3120 Kalland Circle, also is concerned about the pylon sign. The sign remains
lighted all night and is an annoyance the neighboring residences.
Scott Larson, 6138 Kalland Circle NE, stated that the parking lot lights also remain on all
night. The lights are not directed straight down. Staff will check the lighting plan for the
Albertville Plaza to be sure the lighting is in compliance.
City Attorney Couri added that the Council may want to consider adopting an "hours of
operation" ordinance for parking lots and sign lighting. The Council directed Couri to gather
more information on this type of ordinance for the next meeting.
Vetsch made a motion to approve payment of check #'s 15281 - 15254 as presented.
Berning seconded the motion. All voted aye.
John K. Olson, representing Xcel Energy, gave the Council an update on the costs for the
proposed decorative street light project. Because of the large number of street lights that will be
needed, Olson has gotten a guaranteed price reduction effective for two years from the supplier.
The price reduction reduces the cost of the entire project by $46,000.

The Council asked Olson about different pole spacing if other style poles are installed.
Olson will provide a different schematic design based upon combining styles of light fixtures and
pole heights.
Olson also volunteered that Xcel Energy would be willing to help the City develop an
ordinance for street lighting criteria.
Mayor Olson opened the assessment hearing for the outlet mall traffic light at 7:35 PM.
The Council reviewed the proposed assessment roll, dividing the cost of the traffic light
over the mall property, the Burger King site, and the Ashley Furniture Store site, based on
$3,891.13 per acre. The assessment will be payable in equal annual principal installments
extending over a period of ten (10) years and will bear interest at a rate of 6.5%.
Mayor Olson asked for comments from the audience. No one in the audience addressed
the Council, and Mayor Olson closed the public portion of the hearing at 7:40 PM.
Wallace made a motion to approve RESOLUTION #2001-27 titled RESOLUTION
ADOPTING ASSESSMENT FOR HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SIGNAL IMPROVEMENTS.
Franklin seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Berning made a motion directing the Public Works Department to arrange to have a
sidewalk installed between 53rd Street and 54`h Street at a cost of $5,656, with a portion of the
funds from the remaining funds in the Sidewalk Repair & Maintenance budget and the balance
from the Parks Trails & Sidewalk budget. Franklin seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Wallace made a motion to approve the bid for fencing around the new ballfield from
Countryside Fence at a cost of $26,850. Funding for the fences will be from the Park Dedication
Fund. If it is possible, the fencing should be installed before winter. Vetsch seconded the
motion. All voted aye.
Berning made a motion to accept the Public Works/Parks Report as presented. Wallace
seconded the motion. All voted aye.
City Engineer Pete Carlson presented a concept plan for extending 62°d Street past the
Towne Lakes project to connect with County Road 19. The reasoning behind this concept is that
that the frontage road could be constructed in the spring of 2003 and should alleviate traffic
going through the City along Co. Rd 37 to get to the mall. This option would eliminate the need
for an exit ramp at County Road 19 and would be more cost effective. Construction of an exit
ramp would not be likely to occur before 2004 or 2005.
Councilmember Vetsch would like to Council to conduct a workshop meeting with the
local business owners to get their input on how this concept would ultimately affect their
businesses. Vetsch also feels that Wright County Engineer Wayne Fingalson should be invited
Albertville City Council Minutes
November 5, 2001
Page 3 of 4
to the workshop. The Council agreed and directed the administrator to contact Fingalson to get
some available dates for the meeting.
Carlson reviewed the memo regarding the AUAR (Alternative Urban Areawide Review).
Several development concept for the properties north of I-94 have been presented to staff. Each
of those concepts would require an EAW (Environmental Assessment Worksheet). Each
separate EAW would study the effect the development would have on traffic and environmental
impacts on the lakes. The drawback to individual EAW's is that the big picture is not studied.
With th4e traffic issues that the City is facing today, Carlson believes it is important to study the
area as a whole. In essence, an AUAR is an EAW for the entire area of Albertville north of I-94.
With an AUAR the City would take the lead in completing the review of the environmental
issues, including traffic. The time frame for completing the AUAR is about five months. This is
slightly longer than an EAW but much less that an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The
City would upfront the cost of the AUAR but would charge back the cost to developments on a
per acre basis.
The Council .directed Carlson to prepare a cost estimate for the AUAR to present at the
next Council meeting.
Carlson explained that the contractor installing the sanitary sewer for Cedar Creek South
7th Addition encroached onto the property of Bob Heuring without permission and disturbed an
area approximately 30"X 50' that had recently been planted with winter wheat. Carlson admitted
he should have recognized the need for a temporary easement, but inadvertently, failed to get the
easement or permission from Mr. Heuring. The disturbed area has since been restored, and
S.E.H. will pay Heuring for the crop damage.
Councilmember Vetsch is dissatisfied with the lack of communication from city staff to
Mr. Heuring and his mother. Vetsch made a motion to require the engineer and the attorney to
"go above and beyond" duty in an attempt to restore the relationship between the City and the
Heurings. Mayor Olson called for a second to the motion three times. There was no second.
The motion died for a lack of second.
City Attorney Couri reviewed the Developers Agreement for Cedar Creek South 7ch
Addition. He suggested that Paragraph 14 on Page 10 dealing with Wastewater Treatment Plant
Expansion is now unnecessary since the expansion has been completed.
Franklin made a motion to approve the Developer's Agreement as recommended by City
Attorney Couri, deleting Paragraph 14. Wallace seconded the motion. Franklin, Wallace,
Berning and Olson voted aye. Vetsch voted no. The motion carried.
Berning made a motion to adopt RESOLUTION #2001-25 titled A RESOLUTION
APPOINTING JON SUTHERLAND TO THE POSITION OF BUILDING OFFICIAL.
Wallace seconded the motion. All voted aye.

I have temporarily taken over the water and sewer inspection hook-ups since Kevin
Mealhouse has left the city. I am doing about 2-4 of their a day. It has makes it difficult
for me to get my daily routine tasks done. I would, however, like to continue to do them
since it falls under my department of Wastewater. It would allow me understand and deal
with problems or concerns that come up in the future.
The Oct monthly operations report to the State is not completed as of yet. I'm still
waiting for some test results.
The Wastewater Treatment Plant is working well. There is still some punch items that
need to be completed. I have greased and tipped the pond aerators out of the water for
storage.
We have hooked the old radio alarm system into the new alarm system at the Treatment
Plant. All the remote Lift Stations have a radio that sends a signal to a radio at the
Treatment Plant. The old system (radio) and the new system (computer) don't work well
together. I'm working with Dan McCoy from Granite Electronics for some solutions.
The systems are working, but are not dependable and some alarm could be missed.

Dear Mayor Olson:
Contractor Property Developers Company is pleased to be working with the City of Albertville
to create Towne Lakes, Albertville's new small town neighborhood. As part of the attractions
and benefits in this neighborhood, CPDC plans to provide telecommunications services by
fiber optic connection to each home in Towne Lakes. Fiber optics is widely recognized today
as the very best basis for voice, video and data services.
As part of its plan for fiber optic service to Towne Lakes, CPDC has formed a
telecommunications services company called FTTH Communications, LTD which is
interested to offer video service as well as telephone and Internet services to residents of
Towne Lakes. It is also interested in exploring how other uses of the fiber optic network to
be installed in Towne Lakes might benefit the wider community in Albertville.
Therefore this letter is a notice and request that FTTH Communications, LTD, wishes to
apply for a franchise to service the limited area of Towne Lakes in Albertville. I
We look forward to working with the City to carry forward on the application for franchise just
as soon as convenient. We are prepared to meet with the City as needed.
Sincerely,
y Gieracki

BACKGROUND
Albertville City Council
Cindy Sherman
November 15, 2001
Albertville — Towne Lakes Utility Building
163.06 — 01.14
Contractor Property Developers Company (CPDC) has submitted an application for site
plan and amended Planned Unit Development (PUD). The request is being made to
allow the development of a utility building at the Towne Lakes site to house fiber optic
equipment. The site plan submittal allows review of the proposed building and related
improvements and the PUD amendment is to allow the building on the lot where the
pool and related building will be built.
ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
Amended Planned Unit Development. The existing PUD agreement addresses all of
the improvements proposed on the site. The agreement allows certain improvements
such as signs, parks, open space, benches, etc. The building that is proposed is part of
the PUD in that it will provide fiber optic service availability to the neighborhood. The
structure will be constructed on property owned and maintained by the homeowners
association.
Site Plan. The building as proposed is 12' x 26' in size and will be constructed with a
residential exterior look to complement both the location and character of the
neighborhood. The building is proposed to be located on the north end of the lot and
will utilize the parking lot that has been constructed for the sales center and ultimately
the pool building. It will be tied into the overall site design with sidewalk/patio areas and
landscaping.
The building itself will house mechanical equipment that will tie into a fiber optic system
that has been installed to provide services to homes. Each home that is constructed in
4 I It
the development has minimum wiring internally to accept fiber optic service although the
service is not required. Homebuyers can upgrade the fiber optic capabilities of their
home to maximize the technology that is available.
In addition to the building there will be some external equipment needs. This includes a
tower with antenna and two 1.2-meter satellite dishes. The location of the equipment is
proposed south of the building and on the same lot as the proposed building and pool
facilities. The applicant is exploring the possibility of locating their needed equipment
on one of the power line towers or on one of the billboards nearer to the freeway. This
negotiation may take some time. The ordinance allows accessory and secondary
antennas on parcels. The ordinance does limit the height of the structure to that of the
underlying zoning district. Because the site is zoned PUD there is flexibility in the
height. The tower is proposed to be approximately 35' in height with an antenna
attached to the top.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on November 13, 2001 and they
recommend approval of the amended PUD and site plan subject to the following
conditions:
1. An amendment to the PUD agreement shall be drafted by the City Attorney for
City Council consideration.
2. The final location of the tower and equipment shall be subject to the review and
approval of the City Planner.

Recently, Contractor Property Developers Company ("CPDC") met with City of Albertville staff to
discuss its concept for a mixed use planned development ("Project") on the 94-acre Vetsch property
("Property") east of County Road 19 and south of 70th Street NE. The Project requires a change in land
use fora portion of the Property and related PUD zoning and subdivision approvals. The Project also
requires preparation of a mandatory + iviromnental assessment worksheet C EAW) under state law. An
EAW was previously prepared for CPDC's Towne Lakes development, which is currently under
construction on the 85-acre Balfany property.
During our meeting with City staff, the alternative of an Alternative Urban Amawide Review ("AUAW)
for approximately 200 acres of undeveloped land north of I-94, south of 70th Strut NE and out and west
of County Road 19 was discussed ("North Albertville AUAR'). The AUAR was suggested as a method
of addressing cumulative traffic .mqwts and areawide shoreland issues. The AUAR would substitute: for
project -specific EAWs that would otherwise be required under state law.
4n November 5, 2001, City staff presented the concept of a North Albertville AUAR to the City Council.
The City Council directed staff to prepare an GUAR scope of work and schedule for consideration at the
November 19 City Council meeting.
The purpose of this letter is to express CPDC's concerns about the scope:, timing and cost of the North
Albertville AUAR and to express its prefenence for a project -specific LAW for its proposed Project on the
Property.

As described below, CPDC believes that the City's traffic and environmental impact concerns can be
comprehensively addressed in a properly structured EAW.
CPDC's concerns about the North Albertville AUAR concept are:
I. Scope. To meet state requirements, the proposed North Albertville AUAR must be a
complex document with alevel of analysis comparable to a full environmental impact
statement C EIS' j. It would likely involve two or more development scenarios for over
200 acres of land with diftemt land use plan designations and development issues.
Although City staff could develop some of the background information required for the
AUAR., cooperation of the multiple private parties within the AUAR project area would be
essential. CPDC is concerned that this process has the potential for unforeseen and
unintentior�ai delays.
Through its work with the City, DNR, Wright County Soil and Water Conservation
District and Army Corps of Engineers on the first phase of Towne Lakes, CPDC believes
its development turn has a sound working knowledge of the traffic and environmental
impact issum related to its proposed Project on the Property. This invaluable, practical
e xperie = will enable; it to ` nit the ground running" in working with the City to prepare an
EAW on the Project. Preliminary environmental studies have been done on the; Property
and the some may not be the case for other undeveloped properties within the North
Albertville AUAR project area.
Finally, as we discussed with the City Engineer, Albertville does not have a qualifying
comprehensive plan. This means that it is not eligible to prepare an AUAR unless it
receives approval of the EQB Chair. Although this is not an insurmountable obstacle, it is
a complicating factor with the potential for further delay.
In addition, certain types and sizes of industrial development that do not meet the
definition of "light industrial development" in EQB Rules, Pt. 40410.360, subp. I` may not
be reviewed through an AUAR. Some of the property within the potential geographic
scope of the proposed North Albertville AUAR is guided or zoned industrial and,
depending on the type of development proposed, may not be eligible for environmental
review under the AUAR format.
2. Timing. The North Albertville AUAR would take substantially longer to prepare and
process than an EAW on CPDC's proposed Project on the Property. An EAW takes less
time to prune because it involves a smaller geographic area, one development scenario,
and less detail than either an AUAR or a full EIS, although cumulative impacts for traffic
and infrastructure may still be addressed. An EAW is essentially a one-step procedure that
involves a 30-day comment period and a decision by the responsible governmental unit on
the need for an EIS within 3 to 30 days after the end of the 30-day comment period. In
comparison, an AUAR generally takes substantially longer to prepare than an EAW
" e ) 14 LARKIN, HOFFMAN, DALY & LINWREN, LTD.
Ms. Linda Goeb

because of its broader geographic scope, number of development scenarios, and the
greater level of analysis mandated by state law. An AUAR is a two-step process that
involves circulation of a draft document for review and comment, followed by preparation
of a final document and a mitigation plan. CPDC's consultants advise that it is rare for the
entire GUAR process to take less than five to six months, and longer preparation and
processing titres use not unheard of even in seven county metropolitan area communities
that have prepared more titan. one GUAR document.
Given these factors, CPDC is concerned that the timetable for AUAR preparation and
processing may not accommodate CPDC's timetable for preparation and processing of
land use, zonmg and subdivision approvals for its proposed Project on the Property.
CPDC hopes to have City approval of necessary zoning and subdivision approvals for the
Project by early summer 2002. CPDC recognizes that it will take a substantial amount of
time to address City concerns regarding its proposal, but it is confident that these concerns
can be addressed within this time fiame. Assuming a fair amount of time to reach
anent with the City on a concept plan for environmental review, CPDC believes that
the EAW format and procedure are much more likely to accommodate its development
timetable than the North Albertville GUAR.
3. Cost City staff proposes to recover the cost of the North Albertville AUAR by charging
the cost back to development on a per -acre basis. CPDC is concerned that this may result
in substantial additional costs over and above those related to preparation of a project
specific EAW. This is due not only to the grater complexity and magnitude of the
AUAR, but also to the fact that CPDC anticipates that it will also be responsible for
coordination and monitoring costs of its own development team, over and above its
Ix op wtionate share of City consultant costs.
Structuring Project-Spe cifie RAW to Address Cumulative Traffic Impacts.
To address the City's concerns about cumulative traffic impacts of future planned development north
of I-94, CPDC proposes that the City traffic engineer prepare a more comprehensive traffic impact
analysis of the cumulative impacts of its proposed Project and other plumed development north of I-94
for inclusion in a CPDC project -specific EAW. This type of analysis is encouraged in EQB rules and
would give the City the necessary information to evaluate the need for public improvements to
accommodate proposed development. The same level of cumulative traffic impact analysis that would be
done for the North Albertville AUAR could conceivably be included in the EAW.
As a general proposition, CPDC believes that the type of environmental impacts related to proposed
development north of 1-94, including showUnd and wetland issues, an more appropriately addressed in a
project -specific EAW as opposed to an AUAR. This is because site -specific grading, drainage and utility
plans must be prepared to fully analyze these types of environmental impacts. Some generic area, -wide
a , , k LA,RKIN, HoFmAN, DALY & L1NDmm, LTD.
Ms. Ling Goeb

AUARs are prepared before such site -specific detail is ever developed. Thus, it is highly unlikely that the
proposed North Albertville AUAR would be a proper vehicle for a one -stop resolution for all DNR
shoreland and WCA and Corps wedissues related to the proposed Project and other development in
the area
CPDC is excited about worlung with the City on its next phase of development. We hope this
information is h4fid to you in evaluating the environmental review options for the proposed Project and
other planned development in the area.
