CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP
CITY HALL - COUNCIL CHAMBERS
Monday, May 4, 2015
DRAFT MINUTES
1. CALL TO ORDER 6:00 p.m.
Mayor Hendrickson called the meeting to order at 6:07 p.m.
Present: Mayor Hendrickson and Council members Hudson, Olson, Sorensen, and Vetsch
Absent: None
Others Present: City Administrator-PWD Adam Nafstad, City Attorney Mike Couri, Finance
Director Tina Lannes, City Clerk Kimberly Olson, and Fire Chief Eric Bullen
2. JOINT FIRE DEPARTMENT
Couri presented an overview of the issues involved with continuing to provide contracted fire
service to Otsego or developing a joint fire department. He listed both pros and cons for each
type of fire service.
Hendrickson inquired where the Otsego City Council is on the issue. Nafstad replied they were
taking a similar approach and would begin preliminary discussions.
Couri stated that some of the items to address in future discussions would include:
• ownership of equipment and purchasing of future equipment
• funding by each City
• joint decision making and voting rights
• management of budgetary affairs of the fire department
Couri indicated this would be an involved process for both cities and would take a considerable
amount of time to draft an agreement for a joint department if the Council moves is that
direction. He suggested a committee be formed of members from both cities to continue these
discussions. Sorensen inquired if the current Fire Board could be those members. Couri
responded they could and suggested they see how Otsego moves forward.
Hendrickson stated she would prefer the City to take a leadership role in developing a joint fire
department. She had concerns about the City entering discussions late in the process rather than
contributing to the development of a joint department. Couri explained this would be a strictly
voluntary action by both cities.
Agenda Page 4
City Council Workshop Minutes Page 2
Meeting of May 4, 2015
Couri pointed out that it is important to get an agreement drafted correctly from the beginning

Council directed staff to include this topic on a City Council agenda in June prior to the Fire
Board meeting later in the month.

B. Finance
1). 2015 Budget Amendment
Lannes reported that in the course of the annual audit, the auditors recommended that capital be
taken out of the general fund. She added that GASB regulations no longer allow transfers for
administrative fees from the general fund and those expenses will go directly into the enterprise
funds. She has made those changes and it does not change the amount of the levy for the year.

for an area to place an additional utility shed near their current utility building. The owner of the
property currently leasing to Arvig did not indicate any interest in leasing additional space to Arvig.
The proposed site is adjacent to the Wastewater Treatment Facility. The proposed agreement would
be an original five year lease to include four additional five year terms. Nafstad stated Arvig would
be required to pay property taxes on their portion of the site that the utility shed will be located on.
Olson inquired if the proposed area would be needed for the future Wastewater Treatment Facility
expansion and Nafstad replied any expansion would move towards the north and should not be an
issue.
Motioned by Sorensen, seconded by Hudson, to approve the attached site lease agreement between
the City of Albertville and Arvig Enterprises, Inc. Ayes: Hendrickson, Hudson, Olson. Sorensen,
and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED.

City Council Meeting Minutes Page 4
Regular Meeting of May 4, 2015
Olson stated he wanted to ensure that a cancelled meeting would not push back any development
applications. Hendrickson, Olson, and Sorensen indicated they would be present. Nafstad stated
they would keep the meeting scheduled.
E. Planning/Zoning – None
F. Building – None
G. Legal – None
H. Administration
1). Albertville Friendly City Days Social Event – Discussion
Nafstad reported last year was the first year the Council held the social event during Friendly City
Days rather than an athletic event. He inquired if they would like to do the same this year.
Hendrickson indicated she had received positive feedback on the event. Nafstad stated they would
distribute an invitation to the event to the various boards and surrounding cities.
2). City Administrator’s Update
Nafstad indicated that Westbridge Community Church had approached staff about bringing a revised
application back to the City Council for reconsideration and plans on doing so at the June 1, 2015
City Council meeting. Sorensen inquired how many times an applicant can bring forth the same or
similar application after going through the Planning Commission and City Council approval process.
Couri explained that a rezoning application cannot be brought back within a year unless certain
criteria are met. In this case, a majority of the Council must find there are changed circumstances
relating to the application or a supermajority of the Council (4/5 vote) must agree to reconsider the
application. Couri indicated that the first question Council will need to consider is not whether to
rezone the property, but whether they should consider reviewing the application again.
Nafstad reported that on behalf of Old Castle Glass, Scannell Properties is pursuing the City’s offer
for the City-owned industrial park lot to be a second site for Old Castle. Staff is working with bond
counsel to develop a draft TIF contract and anticipate that Scannell will submit site and building
plans mid-May for June’s Planning Commission meeting.
Nafstad stated he is working on notices to residents for the 57th Street NE improvement project.
Nafstad reported Spring Cleanup Day went well, although the number of residents from Albertville
was down.

Meeting Date: May 18, 2015
May 14, 2015
SUBJECT: CONSENT - UTILITIES - PURCHASE OF A DUMP TRAILER
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: To authorize the Utilities Department to purchase a Towmaster dump trailer
from Titan Machinery at a cost of $9,406.25.
BACKGROUND: The Utilities Department has a need for a dump trailer. Generally the trailer
will be used for winter watermain breaks, but will also be used year round for project involving
pavement or concrete rubble. During the winter months the trucks are equipped with plows and
de-icing equipment, not setup for material from watermain breaks. Currently we are using a
1979 dump truck, which was previously used for plowing and is no longer cost-effective to own
due to repair and safety needs.
The low quote for the trailer is from Titan Machinery for a 14-foot Towmaster Model T10-HD in
the amount of $9,406.25.
This purchase was discussed at the May 11, 2015, Public Works Committee Meeting. It was the
consensus of the Committee that the trailer was a replacement for the 1979 Ford.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The funds for this upgrade will come from 206 WAC
fund, which can be used to purchase capital, such as equipment for, the Utility Department.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and Council have the authority to approve the
purchase of vehicles and equipment for the City.

SUBJECT: CONSENT - PUBLIC WORKS - PURCHASE OF A 20’ X 20’ SHELTER FOR OAKSIDE
PARK
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Approve purchasing a 20’ x 20’ shelter to be installed at Oakside Park in the
amount of $18,778 from Northland Recreation.
BACKGROUND: The Parks Committee has been planning to purchase a shelter for Oakside
Park for some time. Currently Oakside Park is the only park that does not have a shelter.
KEY ISSUES:
• The Parks committee has reviewed and approved the project
• The shelters at Villas, Winter and Four Seasons Parks are from the same manufacturer
• Staff received three quotes for the shelter and Northland Recreation had the best price
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The funding will come from Park Dedication Fund 201,
which has a sufficient balance to cover this capital addition to the park
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and Council have the authority to approve the
purchase.

breezeway connection) on the east side of the home. The applicants hope to move the building
to the subject site in the month of May.
KEY ISSUES:

Building Code.
2. The proposed relocated building shall comply with the character of the neighborhood in
which it is being relocated as determined by the City Council.
3. The relocated use will not result in a depreciation of neighborhood or adjacent property
values.
4. The relocated structure shall be similar to the market valuation of adjacent principal
structures as determined by the City or County Assessor.

PLANNING REPORT
TO: Adam Nafstad
FROM: Alan Brixius
DATE: April 8, 2015
RE: Albertville - DeMars Building Relocation Conditional Use Permit
FILE NO: 163.06 - 15.02
BACKGROUND
Michael and Lisa DeMars have requested approval of a conditional use permit (CUP) to
allow the relocation of an existing single home to property located north of 51st Street
NE and east of Main Avenue NE (5158 Main Avenue NE). According to the City Code,
a conditional use permit is required for all permanent relocation of residences and for
the relocation of any building requiring a permit in the City.
The subject site is zoned R-1, Residential Single Family and is presently occupied by a
dilapidated single family home and detached garage. The applicants plan to remove
the existing structures prior to the relocation of the home onto the subject site.
The home to be relocated (from the City of Grove City) is a single story rambler. In
conjunction with the building relocation, the applicants plan to construct an attached
garage (with a breezeway connection) on the east side of the home. The applicants
hope to move the building to the subject site in the month of May.
Attached for reference:
Exhibit A: Site Location

Exhibit E: Garage Detail
ISSUES ANALYSIS
Performance Standards. Section 1400.4 of the City Code establishes a specific set of
standards which must be satisfied in the consideration of building relocation requests
Agenda Page 31
11
(via CUP). The following is a listing of the various performance standards followed by a
City Staff response:
A. Upon relocation, the building shall comply with the applicable
requirements of the State Building Code.
Staff Comment. As a condition of CUP approval, the home to be located must
comply with the applicable provisions of the State Building Code. The applicants
have indicated that the home to be relocated will be “gutted” and all building
modifications will comply with City and State building requirements. Proposed
improvements would include new electrical, HVAC, insulation, plumbing, siding
and foundation (basement). As part of the application for building permit, the
submission of detailed site and building plans will be required. This issue will be
subject to further review and approval by the City Building Official.
B. The proposed relocated building shall comply with the character of the
neighborhood in which it is being relocated as determined by the City
Council.
Staff Comment. The subject site is bordered by single family residential uses on
all sides. Most homes in the neighborhood are likewise single story ramblers.
The applicants have indicated that the home to be relocated will be finished in
aluminum siding which will be gray in color. The applicants have further
indicated that the awnings illustrated in the provided building photos are to be
removed. It is the opinion of City Staff that the home to be relocated will be
compatible in appearance with existing homes in the area.
C. The relocated use will not result in a depreciation of neighborhood or
adjacent property values.
Staff Comment. Considering that the home will be compatible with size and
appearance of other homes in the area and that Building Code compliance will
be made a condition of CUP approval, the proposed use is not expected to
depreciate neighborhood property values.
D. The relocated structure shall be similar to the market valuation of adjacent
principal structures as determined by the City or County Assessor.
Staff Comment. The home to be relocated exhibits a ground floor footprint of
1,770 square feet (not including an approximate 1,000 square foot attached
garage). In this regard, the footprint of the home will be slightly larger than most
homes in the area. With this in mind, the value of the home is not expected to be
less than that of adjacent structures.
E. The relocated structure shall be ready for occupancy within six months
from the date of location on the site.
Agenda Page 32
12
Staff Comment. As a condition of CUP approval, the relocated structure will be
required to be occupied within six months of the date of City Council approval.
F. The travel route of the building move must reflect proper capacity of the
street with regard to load bearing capacity, will not interfere with utilities,
and will not create congestion or traffic safety issues on the public street.
Staff Comment. As required, the applicants described the proposed travel route
to the site from Grove City. The move would occur during nighttime hours and is
expected to occur sometime during the month of May. As a condition of CUP
approval, the proposed travel route and related timing should be subject to
approval by the City Engineer.
The company performing the move (Otting House Movers, LLC) is licensed by
the State of Minnesota. At the time of building permit, the house moving
company will be required to provide documentation of such licensure as well as
insurance.
Setbacks. The following is a listing of minimum R-1 District principal building setback
requirements as well as setbacks proposed by the applicants:
Required Proposed
South Front Yard: 30 feet 35 feet
West Side yard: 20 feet 40 feet
East Side Yard: 10 feet 27 feet
North Rear Yard: 25 feet 82 feet
While the proposed house location meets applicable setback requirements of the
Ordinance, some concern exists in regard to their accuracy as the submitted site plan is
not drawn to scale. Compliance with required setbacks should be confirmed prior to the
placement of the building upon the site. The City shall require a certificate of survey
showing the placement of the house and compliance with the required setbacks. Said
survey shall also include location of the driveway curb cut and utility connections to the
new house.
Garage Addition. As noted, a garage and breezeway addition is proposed on the east
side of the home. To be noted is that the garage measures 1,008 square feet in size
(24 feet by 42 feet) and exceeds the maximum 1,000 square footage requirement of the
Ordinance. As a condition of CUP approval, the size of the garage should be reduced
to not exceed 1,000 square feet.
Also as a condition of CUP approval, it is recommended that the design of the garage
and breezeway be compatible with the home to be relocated. In this regard, it is
specifically recommended that the garage and breezeway exhibit similar roof pitch,
finish materials and colors of the home to be relocated.
Agenda Page 33
13
Landscaping. It is assumed that the removal of the existing structures and location of
the related home of the property will significantly impact existing site vegetation (turf and
landscaping). In this regard, it is recommended that the following conditions be
imposed as conditions of CUP approval:
1. The lot area remaining after providing for driveways, sidewalks, patios, building
site and/or other requirements shall be sodded, seeded and mulched prior to
issuance of a certificate of building occupancy.
2. Front yards and side yards which abut public streets shall be sodded. Other turf
areas may be seeded.
3. If the subject property does not contain a shade or evergreen tree, one shade
tree or evergreen tree shall be provided on the property consistent with the
permitted species list and minimum size requirements of Section 1000.7.B of the
Zoning Ordinance.
4. The preceding requirements be satisfied within six months of building occupancy.
Driveway Access. Like the home which presently exists upon the subject property, the
relocated home will likewise be accessed from the south via 51st Street NE. To be
noted however, is that the proposed driveway location and width do not match the
present curb cut. Thus, a new driveway apron, located within the City right-of-way, will
need to be constructed. The construction and cost of such apron will be the
responsibility of the applicants. This issue should be subject to further comment and
recommendation by the City Engineer.
RECOMMENDATION
Provided certain conditions are imposed, we believe the relocated home can compatibly
exist within the neighborhood in which it is proposed. As a result, and based on the
preceding review, our office recommends approval of the requested conditional use
permit subject to the following conditions:
1. The home to be located shall comply with the applicable provisions of the State
Building Code. As part of the application for building permit, the submission of
detailed site and building plans shall be required. This issue shall be subject to
further review and approval by the City Building Official.
2. The relocated structure shall be occupied within six months of the date of City
Council approval.
3. At the time of building permit, the house moving company performing the home
relocation shall provide documentation of licensure and insurance.
Agenda Page 34
14
4. The proposed travel route (of the home to be relocated) and related timing shall
be subject to approval by the City Engineer.
5. With building permit application, the applicant shall submit a site plan on a
certificate of survey showing required setbacks, driveway curb cut location, and
utility connections to the new house.
6. The size of the proposed attached garage shall be reduced to not exceed 1,000
square feet.
7. The design of the attached garage and breezeway shall be compatible with the
home to be relocated. In this regard, the garage and breezeway shall exhibit
similar roof pitch, finish materials and colors of the home to be relocated.
8. The following landscaping-related conditions shall be satisfied:
a. The lot area remaining after providing for driveways, sidewalks, patios,
building site and/or other requirements shall be sodded, seeded and
mulched prior to issuance of a certificate of building occupancy.
b. Front yards and side yards which about public streets shall be sodded.
Other turf areas may be seeded.
c. If the subject property does not contain a shade or evergreen tree, one
shade tree or evergreen tree shall be provided on the property consistent
with the permitted species list and minimum size requirements of Section
1000.7.B of the Zoning Ordinance.

Meeting Date: May 18, 2015
May 13, 2015
SUBJECT: PLANNING - BUILDING AND SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR MOLD TECH 5166 BARTHEL
INDUSTRIAL DRIVE NE
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following motion:
MOTION TO: Adopt Resolution Number 2015-018 Site Plan and Building Plan Review for
Mold Tech.
BACKGROUND: Mold Tech is a local industry that was established in 1998 and produces
molds for plastic parts for medical equipment and other devices. This is a clean industry with
high paying jobs. In 2014, Mold Tech approached the City to explain their needs for expansion
of an additional 12,000 square feet.
Mold Tech has requested a building and site plan review for their property at 5166 Barthel
Industrial Drive NE. The subject property is zoned I-1 and is presently occupied by a 12,132
square foot building (approximately 100 feet x 120 feet). The building expansion seeks to add
an additional 12,000 square feet (approximately 100 feet x 120 feet).
KEY ISSUES:
Comprehensive Plan. The City of Albertville has clearly established industrial park
development and economic development as a top priority. The proposed expansion is consistent
with the City’s Vision Study goals to retain and expand the City’s industrial land use, tax base,
and local employment opportunities.
Zoning. The subject site is zoned I-1, Limited Industrial. Mold Tech manufactures molds for
plastic parts for medical equipment and other devices. Within the I-1 District, manufacturing,
office, and warehousing are permitted uses. The Mold Tech operation is allowed within the I-1
Zoning District.
Lot Area and Setbacks. The Mold Tech site is approximately 2.95 acres in area and has a lot
width of 225 feet. This exceeds the I-1 District standards. The site is a corner lot. Both the
existing building and the addition meet the district building setbacks.
Building Type and Design. The proposed building addition will be integrated within the
existing structure. The exterior walls will be constructed of rock face block, painted to match the
existing building. The east elevation is an exception to the exterior design. This wall is
proposed to be constructed of smooth concrete block. The change in materials is intended to
allow for future building expansion to the east, with the current east wall becoming an interior
wall with future expansion.

Meeting Date: May 18, 2015
The masonry construction and matching colors and accent lines exceed the City’s industrial
district materials requirement.
Parking. By ordinance, the proposed building uses are required to provide 71 parking stalls.
The site plan provides 88 parking stalls which exceeds the City standards. The site will have
four disability parking stalls which is appropriate for an 88 stall parking lot.
The parking lot design is properly dimensioned with 9 foot by 20 foot parking stalls and drive
aisles 24 feet or wider. The parking lot will be paved and have concrete perimeter curbing. An
exception to the concrete curbing has been recommended by the City Engineer along the eastern
edge of the parking area. Surmountable curbing is being recommended in this area of the
parking lot for ease of snow removal and to allow for future parking lot expansion.
The proposed parking far exceeds the minimum parking required by the City.
Loading Area. The Albertville Zoning Ordinance requires industrial buildings in excess of
10,000 square feet of floor area to provide a minimum of two off-street loading areas. The
applicant’s site plan shows two overhead doors along the south side of the building. The western
loading area is designed for large trucks and semi-trailers providing 80 feet of maneuvering area
between the building and the south edge of the parking lot.
The eastern loading area is designed for shorter trucks. The site plan shows a ramped drive
leading to the overhead door. The ramped drive is supported by retaining walls that extend into
the parking lot drive aisle, shown on the grading plan. The design, height and length of retaining
walls raise concerns over obstructing the parking lot drive aisle. Details of the loading area ramp
and retaining walls is needed to evaluate its potential impact on the parking lot circulation and
access and egress to this overhead door.
The loading areas are properly dimensioned to meet the City Code.
Landscaping. The Albertville Zoning Ordinance requires a landscape plan for all commercial
and industrial properties. In review of the applicant’s plan, we recommended the following
landscape conditions:
1. All turf areas that are disturbed by site grading and building construction must be
restored by either sodding or seeding.
2. Currently, the existing building provides three Maple trees along the north side of the
building to break up the building mass along 52nd Street. We would recommend that
four additional Maple trees, having a 2.5 inch caliper, be planted to visually break up the
building length of the new addition.
Grading Plan. The applicant has submitted a grading and drainage plan that directs all hard
surface stormwater to an on-site stormwater pond. The City Engineer will review and comment
on the site’s grading and drainage.

ISSUES ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan. The promotion and expansion of Albertville’s local industries is
consistent with the City’s long range Comprehensive Plan. The City’s Vision Plan
establishes the following goals and policies that support this industrial expansion:
Albertville Visioning Study 2012 - Industrial
Goal 1: Promote continued industrial development in order to expand local employment
opportunities and the City’s tax base.
Policies:
1. Pursue an industrial land use pattern consistent with Albertville’s Proposed Land
Use Plan.
2. Aggressively market and promote the sale of its City-owned industrial lots.
Primary focus shall be the retention and in-place expansion of Albertville’s
existing industries.
The City of Albertville has clearly established industrial park development and economic
development as a top priority. Expansion of the Mold Tech business falls in line with the
City’s goals.
The proposed expansion is consistent with the City’s Vision Study goals to retain and
expand the City’s industrial land use, tax base, and local employment opportunities.
Zoning. The subject site is zoned I-1, Limited Industrial. Mold Tech manufactures
molds for plastic parts for medical equipment and other devices. Within the I-1 District,
manufacturing, office, and warehousing are permitted uses. The Mold Tech operation is
allowed within the I-1 Zoning District.
Lot Area and Setbacks. The Mold Tech site is approximately 2.95 acres in area and
has a lot width of 225 feet. This exceeds the I-1 District standards. The site is a corner
lot. The following table illustrates that both the existing building and the addition meet
the district building setbacks:
Required Proposed Compliant
Front Yard (west) 35 feet 92 feet Yes
Side Yard on Street (north) 35 feet 40 feet Yes
Side Yard Interior (south) 10 feet 140 feet Yes
Rear Yard (east) 20 feet 70 feet Yes
Maximum Site Coverage. Within the I-1 District, total hard cover is limited to 85%.
The total lot area is 2.95 acres and total hard cover is estimated to be 67,911 square
feet or approximately 52.9% of the total lot area.
48Agenda Page 48
Maximum Building Height. The City recently amended its industrial zoning districts to
allow for industrial buildings of 48 feet in height. The proposed building height matches
the existing height. The building height will be approximately 20 feet, which is well
below the district maximum standards.
Building Type and Design. The proposed building addition will be integrated within
the existing structure. The exterior walls will be constructed of rock face block, painted
to match the existing building. The east elevation is an exception to the exterior design.
This wall is proposed to be constructed of smooth concrete block. The change in
materials is intended to allow for future building expansion to the east, with the current
east wall becoming an interior wall with future expansion.
The masonry construction and matching colors and accent lines exceed the City’s
industrial district materials requirement.
The entire building will be sprinkled. The site plan must illustrate the Fire Department
connection on the building at a location that will not be obstructed by parked
automobiles.
Site Lighting. The site plan does not show any freestanding light poles, however the
site and building elevations illustrate wall pack lighting on the south and east walls. The
wall packs must meet the following standards:
1. The wall packs must be 90 degree cutoff lights with a shielded light source.
2. The lights shall not exceed more than one foot candle measured at the street
right-of-way.
The applicant must provide cut sheets on the light fixtures to demonstrate the 90 degree
cutoff along with photometrics illustrating light levels.
Trash Enclosure. Section 1000.14 requires all commercial and industrial properties to
either store trash or recycling handling equipment within the building or within an
exterior trash enclosure designed to match the building.
The existing building has a trash enclosure along the south side of the building. This
existing trash enclosure is adequate to accommodate the proposed building addition.
Parking. Based on City parking standards, the following parking calculations have
been prepared:
Gross Floor
Space
Net Floor Space Required
Spaces
Office Use 3,415 SF X .9 3,073 ÷ 200 = 15 + 3 18
Manufacturing 20,717 SF X .9 18,645 ÷ 350 = 53
TOTAL REQUIRED 71
49Agenda Page 49
By ordinance, the proposed building uses are required to provide 71 parking stalls. The
site plan provides 88 parking stalls which exceeds the City standards. The site will have
four disability parking stalls which is appropriate for an 88 stall parking lot.
The parking lot design is properly dimensioned with 9 foot by 20 foot parking stalls and
drive aisles 24 feet or wider. The parking lot will be paved and have concrete perimeter
curbing. An exception to the concrete curbing has been recommended by the City
Engineer along the eastern edge of the parking area. Surmountable curbing is being
recommended in this area of the parking lot for ease of snow removal and to allow for
future parking lot expansion.
Loading Area. The Albertville Zoning Ordinance requires industrial buildings in excess
of 10,000 square feet of floor area to provide a minimum of two off-street loading areas.
The applicant’s site plan shows two overhead doors along the south side of the building.
The western loading area is designed for large trucks and semi-trailers providing 80 feet
of maneuvering area between the building and the south edge of the parking lot.
The eastern loading area is designed for shorter trucks. The site plan shows a ramped
drive leading to the overhead door. The ramped drive is supported by retaining walls
that extend into the parking lot drive aisle, shown on the grading plan. The design,
height and length of retaining walls raise concerns over obstructing the parking lot drive
aisle. Details of the loading area ramp and retaining walls is needed to evaluate its
potential impact on the parking lot circulation and access and egress to this overhead
door.
The loading areas are properly dimensioned to meet the City Code.
Landscaping. The Albertville Zoning Ordinance requires a landscape plan for all
commercial and industrial properties. In review of the applicant’s plan, we
recommended the following landscape conditions:
1. All turf areas that are disturbed by site grading and building construction must be
restored by either sodding or seeding.
2. Currently, the existing building provides three Maple trees along the north side of
the building to break up the building mass along 52nd Street. We would
recommend that four additional Maple trees, having a 2.5 inch caliper, be planted
to visually break up the building length of the new addition.
Grading Plan. The applicant has submitted a grading and drainage plan that directs
all hard surface stormwater to an on-site stormwater pond. The City Engineer will
review and comment on the site’s grading and drainage.
50Agenda Page 50
RECOMMENDATION
Based on our review of the plans submitted on behalf of Mold Tech dated 4/2/15, we
recommend approval of said plans with the following conditions:
1. The site and building plans illustrate a Fire Department connection that is
unobstructed by automobile parking.
2. The applicant provide light details and photometrics for all exterior lights. All
exterior lights must meet the City’s 90 degree cutoff standards.
3. The applicant must provide a detail of the ramp and retaining walls for the
eastern loading area. The ramp and retaining walls shall not narrow the parking
lot drive aisle width to less than 24 feet.
4. The applicant address the following landscaping conditions:
a. All areas disturbed through site grading and construction, that are not
paved, are restored to ground turf through seeding or sodding.
b. The applicant provide four Maple trees, having a 2.5 inch caliper, to be
spaced at intervals along the north side of the new building addition to
visually break up the length of the building.

Mayor and Council Request for Action
M:\Public Data\City Council\Council Packet Information\2015\051815\Planning CC Items\Outlet Mall - PUD Amendment - RCA.docx
Meeting Date: May 18, 2015
May 13, 2015
SUBJECT: PLANNING - PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT TO ALLOW PORTABLE
STORAGE CONTAINERS FOR TEMPORARY USE, AND BANNERS ON LIGHT FIXTURES
AT THE PROPERTY KNOWN AS ALBERTVILLE PREMIUM OUTLETS.
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following motion:
MOTION TO: Adopt Resolution Number 2015-019 Albertville Premium Outlet Planned Unit
Development Amendment to Include Temporary Storage Units and Banners on Light Fixtures.
BACKGROUND: Albertville Premium Outlets has requested an amendment to their Planned
Unit Development (PUD) to allow for limited use of temporary storage containers behind the
mall, as well as banner signs on light poles within the parking lot. The lighting is also being
updated to LED fixtures and the angle of the existing fixtures will be readjusted to direct lighting
downward.
Currently, Albertville Premium Outlets uses an event permit to allow the use of temporary
storage containers (“pods”). The applicant has requested a change to their PUD in an effort to
avoid reapplying for an event permit on an annual basis. The applicant is seeking the temporary
storage units as a solution to increased sales during peak shopping times throughout the year.
The applicant is also seeking an amendment to allow for banners to be hung on select light poles
within their parking lot.
The property is currently zoned Planned Unit Development using the B-3, Highway Commercial
District as the standard to regulate uses.
KEY ISSUES:
Temporary Storage Units. Seasonally, the major retail tenants of the Outlet Mall need
additional merchandise storage to keep their stores stocked during peak sales periods (i.e., Back
to School, Christmas). The current buildings do not offer sufficient warehouse space to address
the growing demands of the successful anchor stores. In response to their tenant needs, the
Outlet Mall is requesting the use of temporary storage units as a means to provide expanded on-
site storage. In meeting with staff, we identified that outdoor storage is an allowed conditional
use within the B-3 Zoning District, however City staff noted the following issues:
1. Location. The location and placement of the storage units would have to be located at the
rear of the shopping center buildings. These locations cannot take up required parking,
cannot interfere with fire lanes or delivery truck maneuvering, and the storage area must
be screened from public streets.

Albertville Premium Outlets Planned Unit Development Amendment Page 2 of 3
M:\Public Data\City Council\Council Packet Information\2015\051815\Planning CC Items\Outlet Mall - PUD Amendment - RCA.docx
Meeting Date: May 18, 2015
2. Storage Unit Size and Security. The applicant is proposing to limit storage unit size to 8
feet high by 8 feet deep by 16 feet in length. The applicant believes that this size is
appropriate to meet the needs of the tenants. The PUD will limit the maximum storage
unit size to that requested by the Outlet Mall. The on-site demarcation for the storage
unit space should be over-sized to include access and door swings of the unit.
3. Temporary Use. The units are temporary storage structures. They will be used for a
period of 60 days, two times a year.
4. Screening. The City requires all outdoor storage areas to be screened from adjoining
properties and public streets. The applicant is proposing that the units themselves
provide screening in that all storage will be enclosed.
In review of the site locations, the areas on the east and west ends of the Outlet Mall raise some
concerns for visibility and appearance from County Road 19 or Interstate 94.
The east end may not be an issue in that the storage unit area will be set back approximately
160+ feet from the east property line. This storage unit location will be screened by a trash
enclosure and the Omann Bros. building.
The west location will have exposure to Interstate 94. The applicant will be painting the current
trash handling equipment and they indicated that their 2016 budget includes monies for
landscaping. City staff will evaluate the visual impact of the western units once in place and
direct the applicant on additional screening if needed.
Banners. The Outlet Mall is requesting flexibility from the Albertville Sign Ordinance to allow
the placement of banners on their parking lot light poles. Their request for the Phase 1 and 2
shopping centers is for 11 light pole locations. The banners will be three feet by five feet in area;
two per pole; and a minimum of 12 feet off the ground.
Lighting. The Outlet Mall lighting preceded current City light performance standards that
require all new commercial exterior lighting to be 90 degree cutoff lighting to prevent glare
issues for surrounding properties.
The Outlet Mall lighting has produced nuisance complaints from residents south of the Interstate.
The applicant is now proposing that all parking lot lights will be converted to LED light sources
and light fixture heads will be adjusted to a 90 degree cutoff with shielded light bulbs. This will
serve to reduce glare issues.
In review of the Albertville Outlet Mall request to amend the PUD, we find their requests to be
reasonable in the context of the overall site design and land use. Staff recommends approval of
the PUD amendment subject to the conditions outlined in the attached Resolution.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: In accordance with State Law, public notice was published
and a public hearing held by the Planning Commission on May 12, 2015 for the PUD

amendment application. The Commission recommended that the City Council approve the PUD
amendment subject to the conditions outlined in the attached Resolution.

Conditional Use Permit. The applicant shall be responsible for all costs associated with any
enforcement related to the PUD amendment

Council have the authority to approve the PUD amendment, which requires a majority vote of

DATE: May 7, 2015
RE: Albertville – Albertville Premium Outlets PUD Amendment
FILE NO: 163.06 – 15.05
BACKGROUND
Albertville Premium Outlets has requested an amendment to their Planned Unit
Development (PUD) to allow for limited use of temporary storage containers behind the
mall, as well as banner signs on light poles within the parking lot. The lighting is also
being updated to LED fixtures and the angle of the existing fixtures will be readjusted to
direct lighting downward.
Currently, Albertville Premium Outlets uses an event permit to allow the use of
temporary storage containers (“pods”). The applicant has requested a change to their
PUD in an effort to avoid reapplying for an event permit on an annual basis. The
applicant is seeking the temporary storage units as a solution to increased sales during
peak shopping times throughout the year.
The applicant is also seeking an amendment to allow for banners to be hung on select
light poles within their parking lot.
The property is currently zoned Planned Unit Development using the B-3, Highway
Commercial District as the standard to regulate uses.
Attached for reference:
Exhibit A: Applicant’s Notes
Exhibit B: Storage Unit Details
Exhibit C: Site Plan
Exhibit D: Banner Example
17Agenda Page 63
ISSUES ANALYSIS
Temporary Storage Units. Seasonally, the major retail tenants of the Outlet Mall
need additional merchandise storage to keep their stores stocked during peak sales
periods (i.e., Back to School, Christmas). The current buildings do not offer sufficient
warehouse space to address the growing demands of the successful anchor stores. In
response to their tenant needs, the Outlet Mall is requesting the use of temporary
storage units as a means to provide expanded on-site storage. In meeting with staff, we
identified that outdoor storage is an allowed conditional use within the B-3 Zoning
District, however City staff noted the following issues:
1. Location. The location and placement of the storage units would have to be
located at the rear of the shopping center buildings. These locations cannot take
up required parking, cannot interfere with fire lanes or delivery truck
maneuvering, and the storage area must be screened from public streets.
The applicant’s site plan shows six storage unit locations at the rear of the
shopping center Phases 1 and 2. These locations are intended to disperse the
storage facilities to the major tenant locations for ease of access. In review of
the site plan, we find the locations to be acceptable provided:
a. The storage unit location shall be on a paved surface, painted and signed
for the storage unit. This physical demarcation is intended to keep the
units in approved locations, prevent intrusion onto the drive aisles, and
prevent expanded storage unit.
b. The applicant shall maintain a 24 foot or greater drive aisle around the
building for a fire lane and to allow for tenant deliveries by large trucks.
Storage units shall not encroach into the drive aisles.
c. The Outlet Mall has an oversupply of parking. These storage unit
locations will not consume required parking.
2. Storage Unit Size and Security. The applicant is proposing to limit storage unit
size to 8 feet high by 8 feet deep by 16 feet in length. The applicant believes that
this size is appropriate to meet the needs of the tenants. The PUD will limit the
maximum storage unit size to that requested by the Outlet Mall. The on-site
demarcation for the storage unit space should be over-sized to include access
and door swings of the unit.
The City requires outdoor storage areas to be entirely fenced to secure the
storage area. The proposed units are entirely enclosed structures with locked
doors for security. In this respect, no fencing will be required.
3. Temporary Use. The units are temporary storage structures. They will be used
for a period of 60 days, two times a year. The temporary nature of these units
allows the City to treat them as outdoor storage rather than permanent accessory
18Agenda Page 64
buildings, which would require them to meet the City’s accessory building
standards for permanent structures.
4. Screening. The City requires all outdoor storage areas to be screened from
adjoining properties and public streets. The applicant is proposing that the units
themselves provide screening in that all storage will be enclosed. The applicant
also proposes that the units will be of a neutral color with no graffiti. Additionally,
all trash receptacles and trash compactors should be repainted this summer to
match the color of the buildings.
In review of the site locations, the areas on the east and west ends of the Outlet
Mall raise some concerns for visibility and appearance from County Road 19 or
Interstate 94.
The east end may not be an issue in that the storage unit area will be set back
approximately 160+ feet from the east property line. This storage unit location
will be screened by a trash enclosure and the Omann Bros. building.
The west location will have exposure to Interstate 94. The applicant will be
painting the current trash handling equipment and they indicated that their 2016
budget includes monies for landscaping. City staff will evaluate the visual impact
of the western units once in place and direct the applicant on additional
screening if needed.
Banners. The Outlet Mall is requesting flexibility from the Albertville Sign Ordinance to
allow the placement of banners on their parking lot light poles. Their request for the
Phase 1 and 2 shopping centers is for 11 light pole locations. The banners will be three
feet by five feet in area. In review of the request, we offer the following comments:
1. The Outlet Mall is a very large site accessed via a private street. The proposed
locations of the banners will be visible from County Road 19 and Interstate 94
and will not have messages legible from outside the parking lots. In this respect,
the banners serve as an aesthetic feature to the light poles rather than signs.
2. Within the site, the banners will advertise select tenants and provide directions to
the tenant bays or will include a generic message such as “Happy Holidays.”
Due to the uniqueness of the Outlet Mall as a land use and its overall site design, staff
supports the proposed banner request with the following conditions:
1. The banners shall be limited to the 11 locations proposed for Phases 1 and 2.
We would also approve 12 locations for banners in Phase 3. This is to avoid a
future PUD application for this site.
2. The Phase 1, 2 and 3 banner sizes shall all be limited to three feet by five feet.
3. No more than two banners per light pole.
19Agenda Page 65
4. Banners shall be mounted on the poles to provide a minimum of 10 feet of
clearance between the bottom of the banner and the parking lot.
5. All banners shall be maintained in good condition. Torn, frayed, or faded
banners shall be removed or replaced.
Lighting. The Outlet Mall lighting preceded current City light performance standards
that require all new commercial exterior lighting to be 90 degree cutoff lighting to
prevent glare issues for surrounding properties.
The Outlet Mall lighting has produced nuisance complaints from residents south of the
Interstate. The applicant is now proposing that all parking lot lights will be converted to
LED light sources and light fixture heads will be adjusted to a 90 degree cutoff with
shielded light bulbs. This will serve to reduce glare issues.
RECOMMENDATION
In review of the Albertville Outlet Mall request to amend the PUD, we find their requests
to be reasonable in the context of the overall site design and land use. Staff
recommends approval of the PUD amendment with the following conditions:
Temporary Storage Units. The temporary storage units are approved with the
following conditions:
1. The proposed storage unit locations shall be limited to the six storage unit
locations identified on the approved site plan. These unit locations shall be
paved and painted on-site to demark the unit location. No storage unit shall be
located outside the approved pad locations.
2. No storage unit shall be placed so as to obstruct the fire lanes or drive aisles for
truck deliveries at the rear of the Outlet Mall buildings. The drive aisles shall
maintain a 24 foot unencumbered width.
3. Storage units shall not exceed 8 feet in height, 8 feet in depth, and 16 feet in
length.
4. Storage units may be placed on site twice a year for a duration that shall not
exceed 60 days. Upon expiration of this period, the storage units shall be
removed.
5. Storage units shall be self-contained and secured.
6. The storage units shall be of a neutral color (no graffiti). All trash handling
equipment and compactors shall be painted to match the principal buildings.
20Agenda Page 66
7. Upon locating the storage units, the applicant shall screen the equipment from
County Road 19 and Interstate 94. Upon placing the storage units in place, the
applicant shall work with City staff to identify the location, type and quantity of
screened needed.
Banners. Staff recommends the approval of the PUD amendment to allow banners on
light poles internal to the parking lots, subject to the following conditions:
1. The banners shall be limited to the 11 locations proposed for Phases 1 and 2.
We would also approve 12 locations for banners in Phase 3. This is to avoid a
future PUD application for this site.
2. The Phase 1, 2 and 3 banner sizes shall all be limited to three feet by five feet.
3. No more than two banners per light pole.
4. Banners shall be mounted on the poles to provide a minimum of 10 feet of
clearance between the bottom of the banner and the parking lot.
5. All banners shall be maintained in good condition. Torn, frayed, or faded
banners shall be removed or replaced.
6. All parking lot light fixtures shall be readjusted to a 90 degree cutoff with the light
source (bulb) shielded prior to the installation of the banners.

MOTION TO: Adopt Resolution Number 2015-020 Conditional Use Permits for Building
Relocation and placement of a 16’ x 22’ accessory building at 5098 Lansing Avenue NE.
BACKGROUND: Richard Kolles has requested approval of conditional use permits (CUP) to
allow both the relocation of an existing garage from St. Albert’s Church and to allow a 16’ x 22’
detached accessory building to his property located at 5098 Lansing Avenue. According to the
City Code, a conditional use permit is required for the permanent relocation of any building
requiring a permit in the City and any accessory building larger than 150 square feet.
The subject site is zoned R-1, Residential Single Family and is presently occupied by a single
family home; an attached garage; and a detached garage. The applicant plans to remove the
existing detached structures to allow the relocation of the new garage onto the subject site.
The garage to be relocated is 16 feet by 22 feet. In conjunction with the building relocation, the
applicant plans to remove the existing detached accessory building on the east side of the home.
The applicant hopes to move the building to the subject site in the month of May.
KEY ISSUES:
Upon relocation, the building shall comply with the applicable requirements of the State
Building Code.
The proposed relocated building shall comply with the character of the neighborhood in which it
is being relocated; and the relocated use will not result in a depreciation of neighborhood or
adjacent property values as determined by the City Council.
1. The relocated structure shall be ready for occupancy within six months from the date of
location on the site.
2. The travel route of the building move must reflect proper capacity of the street with
regard to load bearing capacity, will not interfere with utilities, and will not create
congestion or traffic safety issues on the public street as determined by the City Engineer.
3. A second curb cut will not be permitted.

RE: Albertville - Kolles Building Relocation CUP
FILE NO: 163.06 - 15.03
BACKGROUND
Richard Kolles has requested approval of a conditional use permit (CUP) to allow the
relocation of an existing garage from St. Albert’s Church to his property located at 5098
Lansing Avenue. According to the City Code, a conditional use permit is required for
the permanent relocation of any building requiring a permit in the City.
The subject site is zoned R-1, Residential Single Family and is presently occupied by a
single family home; an attached garage; and a detached garage. The applicant plans to
remove the existing detached structures after relocation of the new garage onto the
subject site.
The garage to be relocated is 16 feet by 22 feet. In conjunction with the building
relocation, the applicant plans to remove the existing detached shed on the east side of
the home. The applicant hopes to move the building to the subject site in the month of
May.
Attached for reference:
Exhibit A: Site Location
Exhibit B: Site Plan
Exhibit C: Applicant’s Notes
9Agenda Page 78
ISSUES ANALYSIS
Performance Standards. Section 1400.4 of the City Code establishes a specific set of
standards which must be satisfied in the consideration of building relocation requests
(via CUP). The following is a listing of the various performance standards followed by a
City staff response:
A. Upon relocation, the building shall comply with the applicable
requirements of the State Building Code.
Staff Comment. As a condition of CUP approval, the garage to be relocated
must comply with the applicable provisions of the State Building Code. As part of
the application for building permit, the submission of detailed site and building
plans will be required. The applicant will also need a building permit for the
construction of a concrete slab for the relocated building to be placed on. This
issue will be subject to review and approval by the City Building Official.
B. The proposed relocated building shall comply with the character of the
neighborhood in which it is being relocated as determined by the City
Council.
Staff Comment. The subject site is bordered by single family residential uses on
three sides. Most homes in the neighborhood are similar. The area adjacent to
the north of the property is zoned P-I, Public Institutional and is a public park.
The applicant has indicated that the garage to be relocated will have lap siding to
match the home and will be painted to match the existing principal structure on
the property. It is the opinion of City staff that the garage to be relocated will be
compatible in appearance with existing homes in the area.
C. The relocated use will not result in a depreciation of neighborhood or
adjacent property values.
Staff Comment. Considering that the garage will be compatible with other
garages in the area and that the Building Code compliance will be made a
condition of the CUP approval, the proposed use is not expected to depreciate
neighborhood property values.
D. The relocated structure shall be similar to the market valuation of adjacent
principal structures as determined by the City or County Assessor.
Staff Comment. The garage to be relocated exhibits a ground floor footprint of
352 square feet. The existing attached garage is 484 square feet. This brings
the total square footage to 836 square feet. City Code states that the total
square footage cannot exceed 1,150 square feet according to Section
1000.4.B.2.c.
10Agenda Page 79
E. The relocated structure shall be ready for occupancy within six months
from the date of location on the site.
Staff Comment. As a condition of CUP approval, the relocated structure will be
required to be occupied within six months of the date of City Council approval.
F. The travel route of the building move must reflect proper capacity of the
street with regard to load bearing capacity, will not interfere with utilities,
and will not create congestion or traffic safety issues on the public street.
Staff Comment. As required, the applicant has described the proposed travel
route to the site. The move is expected to occur sometime during the month of
May. City staff is willing to consider waiving the requirement of hiring a licensed
building mover due to the relatively small size of the structure.
The applicant has indicated the proposed route is to go south on Main Avenue
NE, then east on 51st Street NE to Lansing Avenue NE. This route is subject to
review by the City Engineer. The time of day that the structure will be moved is
also subject to review by the City Engineer.
Setbacks. The following is a listing of minimum R-1 District principal building setback
requirements, as well as setbacks proposed by the applicant:
Required Proposed
South Front Yard 30 feet 35 feet
West Side Yard 20 feet 40 feet
East Side Yard 10 feet 27 feet
North Rear Yard 25 feet 82 feet
While the proposed setbacks meet applicable setback requirements of the Ordinance,
some concern exists in regard to their accuracy as the submitted site plan is not drawn
to scale. Compliance with required setbacks should be confirmed prior to the
placement of the building upon the site via identification of lot monuments and staked
building corners.
Landscaping. It is assumed that placement of the new structure and the removal of
the existing detached structure will not significantly impact existing site vegetation (turf
and landscaping). In this regard, it is recommended that the following conditions be
imposed as conditions of CUP approval:
1. The lot area remaining after the existing detached garage is removed must be
seeded or sodded to restore turf.
11Agenda Page 80
2. Impacted front yards and side yards which abut the public streets shall be
restored with seed or sod.
3. The preceding requirements be satisfied within six months of building occupancy.
Driveway Access. According to Section 1200.4.H.12, single family uses shall be
limited to one curb cut access per property unless a conditional use permit is approved.
The property owner has not applied for an additional access. Staff recommends that no
additional access be granted.
RECOMMENDATION
Provided certain conditions are imposed, we believe the relocated garage can
compatibly exist within the neighborhood in which it is proposed. As a result and based
on the preceding review, our office recommends approval of the requested conditional
use permit subject to the following conditions:
1. The garage to be relocated shall comply with the applicable provisions of the
State Building Code. The applicant shall secure a building permit prior to
building relocation.
2. The relocated structure shall be occupied within six months of the date of City
Council approval.
3. The existing detached outbuilding (10 feet x 10 feet) be removed within six
months of the relocation of the new garage.
4. The proposed travel route (of the home to be relocated) and related timing shall
be subject to approval by the City Engineer.
5. The detached garage shall be painted to match the existing house.
6. The following landscaping-related conditions shall be satisfied:
a. The lot area remaining after removal of the existing outbuilding and any
other impacted area shall be restored to green space through seeding and
sodding prior to issuance of a certificate of building occupancy.
b. Disturbed front yards and side yards which abut public streets shall be
seeded or sodded.
c. The preceding landscaping-related requirements shall be satisfied within
six months of building occupancy.
7. Comments of other City staff.

Meeting Date: May 18, 2015
May 13, 2015
SUBJECT: PLANNING - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR PROPANE SERVICE AND SALES FOR
NIEMEYER TRAILER SALES AT 6550 KARSTON WAY
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following motion:
MOTION TO: Adopt Resolution Number 2015-021 Conditional Use Permit for Propane Sales
and Service at Niemeyer Trailer Sales
BACKGROUND: In 2008, the City approved the Planned Unit Development (PUD) Zoning
District, PUD/BW zoning, final plat and conditional use permits for outdoor storage and outdoor
sales lots and a site and building plan for property at 6550 Karston Way. Over the last year, the
site has been developed and Niemeyer Trailer Sales has relocated from Maple Grove to
Albertville.
The original site plan neglected to illustrate a location for a propane filling station that is inherent
in their business of recreational camper trailer sales, service and storage. Niemeyer Properties
LLC has now applied to amend the PUD site plan to locate a propane filling station on the west
side of the building, along a private street that serves two other vacant lots. The location near the
street presents concerns related to setbacks, appearance, and operation.
KEY ISSUES:
Zoning. The site is zoned PUD/B-W, Business Warehousing. This zoning was put in place to
allow the subdivision to be accessed via a private street with B-W zoning regulating the range of
uses. The trailer sales, service and storage are allowed through an approved conditional use
permit. The propane filling station is an accessory use to the larger business.
The Zoning Ordinance generally prohibits accessory uses from being located in yards abutting a
street. The applicant is requesting flexibility from this restriction through the PUD amendment
to site the filling station at a location that best fits the operational needs of the site.
There is a precedent for considering this requested flexibility. The City approved a propane
filling station for Emma’s Express along County Road 37 in the northeast corner of the
community.
Location. The applicant’s proposed location was selected to keep the propane filling station in a
secured fenced area of the site. This location works with two site access gates, providing
appropriate maneuvering for motorists and trailers to circulate to and from the filling station.
Staff agrees with the functional design of the filling station location, however, its location along
a street raises concerns for appearance and security.

Meeting Date: May 18, 2015
Fencing/Screening. In response to staff concerns, the applicant is proposing to enclose the
propane tank on three sides with a screen fence six feet in height. This screen fence will be
integrated with the proposed chain link fence. The screened enclosure shall be 34 feet long and
extend 10 feet into the site. Staff is comfortable with either Imperial, Columbia with Lattice, or
the Millbrook fence options. The Planning Commission recommended that the applicant have
the option to install chain link fence along the west end of the property line along the propane
tank.
In addition to the screen fence, green space exists between the fence and private street curb. The
applicant is proposing to break up the fence length with landscaping in accordance with an
approved landscape plan.
Security. The propane tank will be located within a secured fence. The filling station design
will have bollards located around the propane tank to protect it from automobile traffic.
Upon review of the staff report and hearing public testimony, the Planning and Zoning
Commission recommended that the City Council approve the Conditional Use Permit for a
propane filling station subject to the conditions outlined in the attached Resolution.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: In accordance with State Law, public notice was published
and a public hearing held by the Planning Commission of May 12, 2015 for the conditional use
permit application. The Commission recommended that the City Council approve the
conditional use permit with the conditions outlined in the resolution.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There are no significant financial issues related to the
conditional use permit. The applicant shall be responsible for all costs associated with any
enforcement related to this conditional use permit.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: In accordance with Council procedures, the Mayor and
Council have the authority to issue the conditional use permit, which requires a majority vote of
the City Council and becomes effective upon publication.

DATE: May 7, 2015
RE: Albertville – Niemeyer Trailer Sales Conditional Use Permit
FILE NO: 163.06 – 15.04
BACKGROUND
In 2008, the City approved the Planned Unit Development (PUD) Zoning District,
PUD/BW zoning, final plat and conditional use permits for outdoor storage and outdoor
sales lots and a site and building plan for property at 6550 Karston Way. Over the last
year, the site has been developed and Niemeyer Trailer Sales has relocated from Maple
Grove to Albertville.
The original site plan neglected to illustrate a location for a propane filling station that is
inherent in their business of recreational camper trailer sales, service and storage.
Niemeyer Properties LLC has now applied to amend the PUD site plan to locate a
propane filling station on the west side of the building, along a private street that serves
two other vacant lots. The location near the street presents concerns related to
setbacks, appearance, and operation.
Attached for reference:
Exhibit A: Site Location Map
Exhibit B: Applicant’s Letter
Exhibit C: Site Plan
Exhibit D: Filling Station Slab Detail
Exhibit E: Fence Detail
Exhibit F: Fence Detail
28Agenda Page 90
ISSUES ANALYSIS
Zoning. The site is zoned PUD/B-W, Business Warehousing. This zoning was put in
place to allow the subdivision to be accessed via a private street with B-W zoning
regulating the range of uses. The trailer sales, service and storage are allowed through
an approved conditional use permit. The propane filling station is an accessory use to
the larger business.
The Zoning Ordinance generally prohibits accessory uses from being located in yards
abutting a street. The applicant is requesting flexibility from this restriction through the
PUD amendment to site the filling station at a location that best fits the operational
needs of the site.
There is a precedent for considering this requested flexibility. The City approved a
propane filling station for Emma’s Express along County Road 37 in the northeast
corner of the community.
Location. The applicant’s proposed location was selected to keep the propane filling
station in a secured fenced area of the site. This location works with two site access
gates, providing appropriate maneuvering for motorists and trailers to circulate to and
from the filling station. Staff agrees with the functional design of the filling station
location, however, its location along a street raises concerns for appearance and
security.
Fencing/Screening. In response to staff concerns, the applicant is proposing to
enclose the propane tank on three sides with a screen fence six feet in height. This
screen fence will be integrated with the proposed chain link fence. The screened
enclosure shall be 34 feet long and extend 10 feet into the site. Staff is comfortable with
either Imperial, Columbia with Lattice, or the Millbrook fence options.
In addition to the screen fence, green space exists between the fence and private street
curb. The applicant is proposing to break up the fence length with landscaping in
accordance with an approved landscape plan.
Security. The propane tank will be located within a secured fence. The filling station
design will have bollards located around the propane tank to protect it from automobile
traffic.
RECOMMENDATION
Through the PUD process, the City may grant flexibility in the location and setback of
the requested propane filling station if its location fits in the context of the site, and will
compatibly coexist with surrounding properties. Based on the application, project
narrative, and plan submission information, staff recommends approval of the PUD
amendment to allow the location of a propane filling station along the west side of the
29Agenda Page 91
property located at 6550 Karston Way per the plans received 4/15/15, subject to the
following conditions:
1. The filling station location and design are consistent with the approved plans with
regard to location, setback, and fence screening.
2. The applicant shall install the approved landscaping between the screen fence
and the private street curb.
3. The propane filling station installation is subject to building permit and review by
the City Building Official and Fire Chief.

Meeting Date: May 18, 2015
May 13, 2015
SUBJECT: PLANNING - ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT FOR OUTDOOR STORAGE AND
RETAINING WALL LOCATION.
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following motion:
MOTION TO: Adopt Ordinance No. 2015-02 Amending the City Code Relating to Outdoor
Storage Pad Construction and Retaining Walls
BACKGROUND: The City of Albertville allows residential properties to store recreational
vehicles and trailers along the side of their garages provided the storage area meets the following
standards:
1. The storage area must be surfaced with asphalt, concrete, or crushed rock. If crushed
rock is used, it must have a border to prevent erosion or spreading.
2. The storage area must be set back a minimum of two feet from the property line.
3. The vehicle storage and pad shall not interfere with stormwater drainage or side lot line
drainage and utility easements. If the vehicle storage encroaches into the City’s side
yard drainage and utility easement, the storage area is subject to review and approval of
the City Administrator.
Many residents have taken advantage of this use allowance, however recently, we have
discovered that some residents have used retaining walls in the side yard to create a level storage
area. In looking at these occurrences, we discovered that use of retaining walls within two feet
of the side lot line is a zoning violation of Section 1100.5 of the Zoning Ordinance, which
requires these permanent retaining walls to maintain a five foot side yard setback.
In discussions with the City Engineer, we are proposing to amend Section 1100.5, Yard
Encroachment, to allow retaining walls to encroach within two feet of the property line,
provided:
1. The retaining wall does not change side yard drainage patterns that negatively impact the
adjoining neighbor.
2. The property owner understands that the encroachment into the public easement is at
their risk. If the City needs to remove the retaining wall to access the utility easement,
the wall may be removed and not replaced.

SUBJECT: FINANCE - FUND 473, PRAIRIE RUN FINANCING
INFORMATION: At the request of the City Council, the following information is being
provided.
Fund 473 is the project fund that the City of Albertville used for the development of Prairie Run.
Currently the fund has a deficit of $767,582. It is estimated that with projected sales and the
collection of assessments on the commercial property, the fund break even as illustrated below.
Prairie Run
Deficit Balance
$(767,582)

KEY ISSUES:
• The goal for this project/fund is to break even
• Collection of the commercial lot assessments is not in the foreseen near future
• Council and staff have approved a plan to repay the SAC fund back, which has been
loaning funds to 473
• It is staff’s recommendation not to reduce or eliminate the commercial assessment.

Meeting Date: May 18, 2015
May 14, 2015
SUBJECT: CITY CLERK – SUNDAY LIQUOR SALES
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Adopt Ordinance No. 2015-03 Amending Section 4-1-12 of the City Code In
Relation to Hours of Operations for Sunday Intoxicating Liquor Sales.
BACKGROUND: On May 1, 2015 Governor Dayton signed the omnibus liquor bill that
included changes in operating hours and off-sale Sunday growler sales. These changes went into
effect on May 2, 2015. Staff is seeking direction from the City Council regarding the change in
Sunday On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor Sales. The new language reads:
Subd. 3. Intoxicating liquor; Sunday sales; on-sale.
(a) A restaurant, club, bowling center, or hotel with a seating capacity for at least 30 persons
and which holds an on-sale intoxicating liquor license may sell intoxicating liquor for
consumption on the premises in conjunction with the sale of food between the hours of
10:00 8:00 a.m. on Sundays and 2:00 a.m. on Mondays.
If Council wishes to allow this change, a change to the City Code is needed. A draft ordinance is
attached for Council consideration.
KEY ISSUES:
• This item is being brought forward simply to be proactive. To date, staff has not been
approached by any liquor license holders for earlier Sunday sales.
• This is a policy issue for the City Council. Council may allow the earlier sales or keep
the City Code at 10:00 a.m.
• A change in City Code requires publication in the legal paper in order to become
effective. Approval of the change in hours for Sunday liquor sales on May 18 would be
published and becomes effective on May 28.
• The portion of the law amending off-sale Sunday growlers applies only to
breweries/brewpubs, but at this time, the new law does not apply to any Albertville
establishments.. However, fees for breweries and taprooms should be set by the City
Council for inclusion in the 2015 Fee Schedule and staff suggests future discussion of
this new law and fees at a later meeting date.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and City Council have the authority
to regulate liquor licensing within the City of Albertville.

the Towne Lakes area is an option the District would like to purse the property would need to
be rezoned.
STMA Ice Arena: Staff is getting quotes to jack the settled concrete walk along the front of the
building. It is estimated that the work will cost approximately $1,500. The sunken panels are
trip hazards and we plan to have them corrected this summer. The summer Arena Board
meetings are tentatively canceled unless agenda items arise.
Vacant Lot on 58th Street NE: The vacant lot at the corner of the Main Avenue NE and 58th
Street NE will be listed next week. Staff is seeking directions as to whether or not the Council is
interested in the lot for park expansion or downtown parking. I will have more information on
the listing at the meeting.
ENGINEERING/PUBLIC WORKS
Public Works Committee Meeting: The group met last week and discussed vehicle/equipment
replacement plans, cold storage, and general operations. We will be getting pricing on
replacement of the 1-ton Dump Truck and looking into options/cost for cold storage. We also
discussed a dump trailer as a replacement for the 1979 dump truck and will be presenting this
option to Council on Monday.
