EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
The Albertville Fire Department contracted CNH Architects to conduct a
comprehensive study assessing the space needs and facility conditions
of the City's sole fire station in relation to current best practices and
how to prepare for the department's future growth.
The study examines a wide range of building and operational factors
to determine the most effective and financially sound approach to
remodeling and expanding the existing facility and analyzing how it
would best meet the department's current and future needs.
This report presents data collected and analyzed by CNH Architects,
along with valuable input from City officials and fire department staff.
It includes this Executive Summary, followed by supporting data,
conceptual plans, and a cost estimate.
PROCESS
The study process utilized the following major steps:
Gather data on existing conditions, current space needs,
operational goals, future growth, fire station Best Practices related
to health, NFPA standards, and energy efficiency status
Develop a building program of space needs for the existing station
based on data gathered and comparative square footages used at
other fire stations of similar size in the Twin Cities area
Evaluate building program and existing conditions in a single station
service model to determine scope of demolition, remodeling, and
addition that will best meet the needs of the department now and
in the future
DEPARTMENT OPERATIONS
The Albertville Fire Department is a combination department with
paid -on -call firefighters supported by one full-time Fire Chief. The
department currently has 30 Paid -On -Call firefighters, 3 Reserve
Firefighters, 1 Fire Chief, 1 Deputy Fire Chief, 1 Assistant Fire Chief, 4
Captains, and 3 Lieutenants.
The department serves the entire City of Albertville as well as western
portions of it's neighbor to the north - Otsego. The Department is
entering into a Shared Fire Service Feasibility Study with the Cities of
Hanover and St. Micheal, and at some point, may need to look at adding
administrative staff and/or prepare to transition to a duty crew model
with part-time firefighters that will reside on the premises during
their shifts. There also may be a future possibility for an expanded
partnership with Otsego. The potential changes to the operational
model of the department and the possibility of an expanded response
area are the primary impetus for this study to maximize the capabilities
and capacity of the current station.
SITE & BUILDING ANALYSIS
The study reviewed many aspects of the fire station site and building.
Since the station was built in 2000, there have been many changes
in standard fire station design and operations. These Best Practices
range from updates in National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
design standards to many safety elements including in -station training
features as well as the current focus on carcinogen reduction strategies
and mental health. As would be anticipated, the current building is
CNH ARCHITECTS
significantly lacking in the current Best Practices that are included in typical new fire stations in the metropolitan area and across
the country.
Since the construction of the current station, there have been changes in mechanical and electrical systems and design. The current
building lacks some of the more efficient and cost-effective systems used today. Several items that have reached the end of their life
cycle and are due for replacement include the membrane roof which is scheduled for replacement in 2026 and the non-functioning
air exchanger and exhaust fan in the apparatus bays —which can have a significant impact on carcinogen levels in the apparatus bays.
The existing radiant heat source in the apparatus bays is original to the building and still functions well.
Two new rooftop units were installed in the spring of 2025 and a natural gas generator that can now back up the entire building was
added last year as well.
The existing site has convenient access to 57th Street NE, sufficient space for the anticipated future expansion, and is ideally
positioned in a central location that facilitates efficient response times to properties within city limits. There is a wetland on the site,
but it does not pose any significant challenges to future expansion, and provides benefits in the form of natural habitat and views.
The site is surrounded by commercial property to the west and city owned property to the north and east. As the north property
line and building setback are close to the existing building, the northern boundary of the site would need to be shifted north to
accommodate the planned expansion of the station.
The existing fire station is over 25 years old, and was designed around a paid -on call operational model, which does not serve the
ambitions of the department for the future. The existing apparatus bays are of sufficient size and quantity to continue to serve the
department well into the future, but the small administrative wing at the south end of the building lacks space for all of the new
spaces that will be required by a hybrid duty crew / paid -on -call or full-time department (residences, offices, on -site training, etc).
There is also a desire for the building to better reflect it's status as the home of the fire department and to demonstrate civic pride
through it's exterior design.
Based on a thorough analysis of the department's current and future needs and multiple design iterations, it was determined that it
is feasible to provide an addition / remodel at the existing station that would meet all of the needs of the department.
CONCEPT DESIGN
Multiple options were reviewed with City staff throughout the past several months with the final concept design included within
this report.
The recommended design includes a training / decontamination addition to the north and an office / residence addition to the
southeast as well as significant remodeling of both levels of the existing building south of the apparatus bays. All of the residential
space for the firefighters will be located on the second floor ofthe south portion of the building, with an expanded training classroom,
enlarged on -deck space, and additional office spaces below. A new, highly visible entrance will also be added as part of the southeast
addition. The northwest corner of the building will host a 3 story training tower with a simulated 4th story rooftop training area
that will offer a wide variety of training opportunities for firefighters on -site. This is paired with a training mezzanine and full fitness
room in the upper level of the north addition. The main level of the north addition will host all of the decontamination functions
including a dedicated turnout gear room, decontamination showers, and areas for cleaning contaminated gear and equipment.
COST IMPLICATIONS
The general cost estimates associated with each of the potential addition / remodel phases are outlined below. The estimates
presented in this study reflect construction costs based on a construction start of spring 2027. For each year beyond 2027, a cost
inflation of 5% per year should be added. These figures represent a midpoint value within a +/-1-% range, appropriate for the
preliminary stage of design.
Phase 1: The cost implications for Phase 1 addition / remodel are roughtly $6.0 million.
Phase 2: The cost implicationns for Phase 2 addition / remodel are roughly $3.3 million.
Full Project: the cost implication for the full project addition / remodel are roughly $8.3 million.
This assumes a 9 month period for the remainder of the design phases followed by a 16 month construction duration.
When comparing the full project cost now and a phase 1 cost now plus a phase 2 cost in 5 years from now, the phased approach
whould be $1.8 million more than doing the full project now. Different phased timing scenarios would result in different phased
timing scenarios would result in different cos implications.
To build a brand new station with comparable square footage would cost roughly $13.75 million. If a new site is selected than the
new station could be built all at once with the existing station remains operational. If the exiting site would need to be re -purposed
Albertville Fire Department Facility Study 2
then construction would need to be in a phased approach to be able to maintain operations on site.
Next Steps
Following the findings within this report the next steps in the process are outlined below:
Finalize the Shared Fire Service Feasibility Study that includes staffing and community risk reduction analysis.
Analyze the Shared Fire Service Feasibility Study results along with the Fire Station Facility Study results.
Determine if the full fire station project or the phased approach best align with the combined study analysis results.
Develop the project timeline for the selected station approach including the below durations:
Proceed with design through construction documents for a duration of approximately 6 months.
Bidding and awarding of contracts for a duration of approximately 2-3 months
Construction process for a duration of 10-12 months for the full project

Existing
Station
The existing Albertville fire station, built
in 2000 is a 10,092 square foot, two
story precast concrete structure with
red metal siding elements at the dispatch
room and the south entry canopy. The
existing station has 5 apparatus bays,
a training room with kitchenette, and
a small station office and dispatch area
with restrooms and a shower. There is an
unfinished second story that houses the
mechanical equipment, fitness room and
storage space. There have been no major
remodels since the station was built.
The fire station is located north of 57th
St. NE about 1000 feet west of Main
Ave NE. It is bordered to the north by
Central Park, the east by the Church of
St.. Albert, and the west by Lil' Explorers
Childcare Center. There are townhomes
to the south across 57th St. NE. The site
is currently zoned P/I Public Institutional
District. It has a gross area of 2.53 acres,
only 1.23 acres of which is buildable due
to a sizeable wetland on the west end of
the property.

Street Access
The fire station site is accessed from 57th Street NE via three driveways, each
serving a parking lot: the firefighter lot to the west of the building, the visitor lot
to the east of the building, and an overflow / city lot at the far east end of the
property. A private drive lane at the north edge of the property connects the
three lots on site. The apparatus bays open onto the central visitor parking lot
and exit the site via a shared two-way driveway. The current site configuration
provides clear views for apparatus leaving the property in either direction onto
57th Street NE.
Wetlands
Approximately one third of the site
is covered by a wetlands. There is a
boardwalk along the western edge of the
site that provides pedestrian access from
57th Street NE to the central park play
fields to the north.
Wetland Key
Freshwater pond
Freshwater Emergent Wetland
Based on National Wetland Inventory
Tree Coverage Map
There are only a handful of existing trees on the property — two in the parking
lot island separating the two east parking lots and two between the south end
of the building and the street. There is also a line of trees just beyond the east
property boundary serving the church parking lot.
Topography
The topography is very flat within the buildable area of the site with a slight drop
to the wetlands to the west and the ballfields to the north.
Buildable Area
According to recorded boundaries, the existing site is 2.53 acres in size. Only
about 1.23 acres of this is buildable due to a combination of applicable setbacks
and the area occupied by the wetland.

Existing Station
Existing Conditions Analysis
Infrastructure
The existing site layout provides adequate circulation and traffic flow for the
department's current and anticipated needs. There is sufficient room on site
for a small to moderate additions. None of the apparatus bays are pull -through,
which means apparatus returning to the station must back into the station. There
is not a well-defined entrance to the station lending to confusion for visitors on
how to enter the building.
Station Access/Response Time
The fire station is located on 57th Street NE on the southern edge of downtown.
This is very central to the geographic boundaries of the city of Albertville. The
department also serves about one third of the city of Otsego to the northeast.
Response times to this area tend to be somewhat longer, but still within
acceptable ranges.
Maintenance
While several of the building's systems and equipment are original to the station,
they have generally been well maintained. The air exchanger and exhaust fan in
the apparatus bays are not functioning properly and are due for replacement.
The two rooftop units were replaced and a new natural gas generator was
added to back up the entire building in 2025. The membrane roof is scheduled
for replacement in 2026. The mechanical / electrical facility assessment report
prepared by edi-dolejs (see Appendix) provides a more indepth analysis of the
existing conditions.
Health & Safety
The existing station raises several health and safety concerns for the firefighters
that utilize the station. There is currently cross contamination between spaces
and items that contain carcinogens that are directly affecting the health of
firefighters. The turnout gear is currently stored in the apparatus bays where the
apparatus expels carcinogens directly onto cleaned turnout gear and the exhaust
system installed in the apparatus bays has not functioned for years. There is no
true separate decontamination area for firefighters to decontaminate or clean
gear and equipment. Firefighters must currently travel through the station office
to access a shower for decontamination purposes.
CNH ARCHITECTS

Space Needs
While some of the existing spaces are of adequate size, several functions
are combined into one room which is not ideal. There is not enough room in
the current station to create all of the additional spaces that are needed for
operational use such as individual dorms and restrooms, separate turnout
gear, separate gear wash/decontamination, separate residence laundry,
decontamination restrooms/showers, and training space.
Fire Department Operations
The fire department anticipates changes to their day-to-day operations around
the corner, including the possibility of a joint powers agreement with one or
more bordering cities, and the current fire station will soon be unable to meet
the needs of the department. As the department switches from a paid -on -call
model to a hybrid model, the station is not properly set up to accommodate a
firefighter residence area, or separate hot and cold zones for firefighter health
and wellness. The existing training room allows for some classroom style
training, but there is currently no space for firefighter recertification training.
Existing Site & Conditions Analysis Summary
The existing site is well situated to serve the long term needs of the fire department. The existing station was also deemed
suitable for an addition and remodel that would meet all of the department's anticipated needs with a phased construction
approach such that the station could remain operational during construction with minimal disruptions. The decontamination /
training addition to the north could be added first, followed by the office / residential addition to the east, with the renovation
of the existing south portion of the building taking place last, allowing most of these functions to take up temporary residence
in one of the additions during the final phase of construction.
Functionally, this station does not meet current Best Practices for health and safety including carcinogen reduction or on -site
training that would be expected in a new, modern fire station. In addition, the station is missing many of the spaces that will be
required by the fire department as it changes service models in the future. The building does not meet the current and future
needs for fire department operations including individual dorms and restrooms fully within the cold zone, separate turnout
gear, separate decontamination, and separate spaces for storage of equipment.

Best Practices
Designing for the Future
Adapting to Change
As more cities and fire departments are transitioning to
service models that include added firefighters and staff
living and training on site, station designs must also adapt.
Modern Station Design
Designing individual, private dorm suites, along with
providing spaces for firefighter wellness are key
components of modern station designs.
Multi -Use Spaces
Developing spaces that can serve more than one
function allow flexibility and an opportunity for growth
and changing operational needs.
Examples include:
Classrooms (Training / EOC)
Conference / Community Rooms
Collaborative Public Spaces
Spaces Allocated for Future Growth
Physical & Mental Health
Higher Standards
Mental health is critical to firefighter overall health and
should be factored into today's fire station designs.
Space for Reflection
The development of spaces in and outside of the station
for quiet reflection including interior wellness rooms and
exterior meditation plazas and patios.
Sound Separation
Multiple layers of sound isolation maximize firefighter
sleep. Development of a "dorm suite" design reduces
sleep disruption between firefighters during the night
and at shift change.
Mental Release
Comprehensive fitness areas for improved physical
conditioning and mental release include both interior
and connected exterior physical training areas.
Lighting
The "startle response" uses ramped lighting and paging
systems while lighting design also maintains firefighter
night vision as they progress from dorm room to
apparatus bay. Use of circadian lighting within residential
areas reinforces natural sleep cycles and promotes
relaxation. Throughout the day, the color temperature of
the light changes to mimic the natural lighting outside.
Morning light tends to be warmer in color and helps
promote waking up
Midday light is cooler in color and helps promote
high alertness
Evening light tends to be warmer in color and helps
promote relaxation

Carcinogen Reduction
Reducing Exposure
Cancer is a leading cause of death among firefighters
due to the toxins they are exposed to while fighting
fires. Fire station zoning is critical and there are many
working strategies to implement that reduce exposures
to harmful chemicals.
Carcinogen Reduction
For every 5° that body temperature rises, skin absorption
rates of carcinogens increase by as much as 400% .
Proper HVAC prevents cross contamination between
"Hot" zones with ramped exhaust and "Cold" zones with
positive pressure.
Eliminating formaldehyde and other chemicals from
building materials and controlling radon gas exposure are
also critical in carcinogen reduction.
Material Selection
Selecting durable, easy -to -clean finishes allow for
contaminates to be thoroughly removed.
Gear Decon
Hazardous carcinogens, biological contaminates, and
airborne toxins can cause cancer.
Positioning a gear decon within the decontamination route
is crucial in removing these toxins in a timely manner and
keeping firefighters safe.
Decontamination Route
The map above displays a decontamination flow for
staff, gear, and apparatus. This flow starts with the "hot"
apparatus entering a designated washdown bay, moving
to designated decon showers and gear decon rooms, and
back to the operationally clean side of the apparatus bays.
All decontamination areas and bays have constant
negative pressure routing toxins directly out to the
exterior.

**The phasing factor applied at the Addition / Remodel pertains to the existing facility maintaining some form of occupancy during
construction preventing the entire facility from being worked on at the same time and necessitating the construction to have one or more
phases for the duration of construction to maintain operations for the department. Phasing increases the time contractors are on site or
required contractors to complete portions of work and then return to site at a later date to complete the remaining portions of work thus
incurring additional costs.
The prices shown above are as of April 1, 2026 for a construction start of spring 2027. Construction cost inflation should be added to the
project hard costs above for each year delayed beyond a 2027 construction start at a rate of 5% per year.

June 1, 2026
SUBJECT: LEGAL — LABEAUX STATION 2ND AMENDMENT TO DEVELOPMENT
AGREEMENT
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Approve the Second Amendment to Master Planned Unit Development
Agreement/Conditional Use Agreement—LaBeaux Station.
BACKGROUND: LaBeaux Station was originally platted in 2006 as a planned unit
development under a developer's agreement that contemplated that all three lots on the plat
would share in the cost of a Property Owners' Association that would maintain a private street,
shared parking and the pond. The properties in the plat did not develop for the first 15 years or
so and have since developed in a manner that is somewhat different from what was contemplated
by the original developer. As a result, the Lil Explorer's lot (located on the east side of Lachman
Avenue) shares in the cost of the private drive and shared parking that is located on the west side
of Lachman Avenue and is of no use to Lil Explorers. Similarly, Breverson Holdings, the
proposed buyer of the northern most lot has noted that the Property Owners' Association that
was supposed to be set up to maintain the shared parking and private drive was never
established.
At this point, Konz Crossing, the owner of the property abutting 57th and on the west side of
Lachman and Breverson Holdings, the purchaser of the lot north of the Konz property, desire to
enter into and record an agreement between the two entities that will divide up the maintenance
of the private drive and the shared parking, and would like to delete the requirement in the
original developer's agreement that a Property Owners' Association be set up to manage the
shared parking and private drive that affects only their two properties. Also, the pond located on
the west side of Lachman takes water both from the LaBeaux Station properties and from
Lachman Avenue. As a pond that treats public water, the City would typically maintain this
pond. This Amendment will delete the provision requiring the Property Owners' Association to
maintain the pond and will instead require the City to maintain the pond.
KEY ISSUES:
The proposed change will release the Lil Explorer's property from its current obligation
to help maintain the private drive and parking which it does not use, and will release it
from its obligation to help maintain the pond.
The two properties lying west of Lachman Avenue will continue to maintain the shared
parking and private drive, but will do so via an easement/maintenance agreement rather
than a separate Property Owners' Association. This will be easier than working through a
Property Owners' Association.
The City will take over maintenance of the pond east of Lachman Avenue as it currently
treats water coming off of Lachman Avenue.
Mayor and Council Request for Action — June 1, 2026
Legal — LaBeaux Station 2nd Amendment Page 2 of 2
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: The 2nd Amendment will simplify
administration of the shared parking and private drives as the parties believe that the Property
Owners' Association has never been established and would otherwise need to be set up. The City
typically maintains ponds that take a significant amount of water from City streets.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: Other than maintenance of the pond, this change will have
no financial impact on the City. Pond maintenance is typically done at a 20+ year interval and
typically consists of dredging the pond to return it to its original holding capacity.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: As long as the City and all three property owners agree to the
2nd Amendment, the parties have the authority to amend the original developer's agreement.
Responsible Person: Mike Couri, City Attorney.

following:
MOTION TO: Approve Special Event Permit including a Temporary Outdoor Music Permit for

SUBJECT: PLANNING — INTERIM USE PERMIT AT 11011 61ST STREET NE
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider
Interim Use Permit (IUP) at 11011 61 st Street NE (PID 101-078-001010) for a community
center with accessory prayer services.
MOTION TO: Adopt Resolution No. 2026-15 approving an Interim Use Permit for 101-078-
001010 located at 11011 61" Street Northeast to allow a community center with accessory prayer
services.
.I '
MOTION TO: Adopt Resolution No. 2026-16 denying an Interim Use Permit for 101-078-
001010 located at 11011 61" Street Northeast to allow a community center with accessory prayer
services.
BACKGROUND: The request is to consider an IUP for a community center with accessory
prayer services. The use is allowed with an Interim Use Permit up to 2,700 sq. ft. per the recently
revised PUD and Zoning Ordinance definitions as follows:
COMMUNITY CENTER: A facility generally open to the public where individuals from a
neighborhood or community can gather for social, educational, recreational, religious, or
cultural activities. These centers often host events, classes, and meetings, and provide
resources and support to the local community. They aim to foster a sense of belonging and
enhance the overall well-being of community members.
The Albertville Plaza 1st Addition PUD states the following:
Community centers with accessory prayer services are permitted on Lot 1, Block 1
Albertville Plaza First Addition, with an Interim Use Permit, up to a maximum of 2,700 sq.
ft. of the building located on said Lot 1, Block 1.
The proposed use will occupy approximately 2,600 sq. ft. of space formerly occupied by a dance
studio. The intended use is for paying members as well as the public to gather for various
activities including help with schoolwork, job applications, social and cultural activities, and
religious activities including prayer. The applicant is currently leasing space at the St. Michael
fire hall for their community center. This location will be temporary as their long-term plan is to
be in a building they own.
The Planning Commission reviewed the application and held a public hearing at their May 12,
2026, meeting. There were several members of the public who spoke, including an adjacent
tenant in the building who expressed concerns with the use and parking. The Planning
Mayor and Council Request for Action — June 1, 2026
Planning — Majid Quba IUP Page 2 of 2
Commission had questions about the hours of operation, occupancy, and use. The applicant
stated that the highest occupancy time expected at the location will be for prayer on Friday
afternoons. They also stated that the building will be generally unoccupied except for scheduled
activities perhaps on the weekends, otherwise by appointment, and the building will regularly be
open for Friday afternoon prayer services. After closing the public hearing and discussion, a
motion was made to recommend approval; however, the motion failed with two votes in favor
and two votes opposed. After the Planning Commission meeting, the applicant submitted
additional information for clarification. It is attached.
KEY ISSUES:
• The previously approved Amendment to the Developers Agreement has not been signed
by the property owner, allowing for the community center use on Lot 1, Block 1,
Albertville Plaza 1st Addition.
• The operation and timing of activities were questioned by the Planning Commission and
do not appear to meet the definition of a community center that is "open to the public."
• There is concern about the intended use and that it may be primarily for prayer services
versus a community center with prayer services as an accessory use.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: The proposed use as a community center with
accessory prayer services is allowed as an IUP within the Albertville Plaza PUD. Upon
reviewing the application, Planning Commission recommendation, and other relevant
information, the Council should discuss the application. Given that the Planning Commission
motion to approve failed to pass, findings for denial have been prepared in addition to the
findings for approval as presented to the Planning Commission.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The City Attorney has reviewed the application and
resolutions.

*** WARNING: This email is from outside the company. Proceed with Caution'
Hello everyone!
Hope all is well,
Dear City Commission & Council members of the City of Albertville MN.
On behalf of Masjid Quba Community Center, we are writing you this
letter to consider and approve our application for a one year
CONDITIONAL IUP. The City had approved our first stage application
for PUD for the Albertville Plaza Unit at 11011 61st Street North rental
unit. Note that, the IUP is with conditions and limited for only ONE year.
Brief background about our organization: Our organization is a non
profit comprises of 15 executive & board members. Our members
is a diverse group with diverse professional occupations. Members
are anywhere from the following fields of; Manufacturing,
Engineering, Caregivers/Nurses/RN's, LAB Technicians,
Accountants, Medical Directors, Teachers Etc.
We came together about 2+ years ago as a group and decided to
create this organization to provide community aid as needed like
helping kids with school homework, meet on one on one basis to
help people with job applications, fill out immigration forms,
financial support as possible, cultural education, etc., for members
within our communities as needed.
We collect donations from members within the community in
general and the 15 management & board members pledge a
permanent monthly commitment donation to sustain the
organization for the services that we provide.
Among our 15 member group, at least there must be 5 members to
approve an appointment to open the building for service to
community members as needed. Three of the x5 members must be
part of the executive board. These five members approval process
are there to make sure we are in compliance to lease terms and
the UP limitations.
We have 5 volunteers within our group who have volunteered to
provide services in regard to student homework help, teaching our
culture, lead us in prayers as needed and providing job application
aid including applications for immigration application services. Etc.
We are applying for and IUP. It is, at present, limited to 1 year. At
this time, we have spent at least between the landlord to hold the
place and the City of Albertville two stage application processes
totalling up to about $16,100.00 — (City fees & processes cost
about 8k-. The monthly hold to the landlord not to rent the place
until the City decides our case is $1,800/month totaling about
nearly 8k & counting. We have already invested nearly 18k for a
limited and conditional one year UP for a rental property.
Do you believe that we don't believe in our ability to make this
work? We feel like, in good faith, we have signed up to
demonstrate our ability to make this work for the community.
We would acknowledge that this is a hard time in MN for our
community but we would like to make a positive difference for our
community especially during these times when little help here and
there can make a whole difference and a game changer for some
families in need of the support that we would provide.
We were continuously described as a prayer center in the planning
commission meeting
i. We do pray of course,
ii. All Are welcome (we have Christian members too).
1. We help young people with homework.
2. We help people become LEGAL citizens. It
is a complex process and people need
help to do it the right way.
3. We help LEGAL immigrants assimilate.
4. We help with job applications and
employment.
5. We only want to make this community
stronger.
6. Our members already live in the
community. This is not an attraction game.
7. We want to buy somewhere.... Our
financial stability is beyond most tenants.
During the commission hearing meeting with the City and members of
the community at the hearing, the following came up as well so here is
some clarifications for those concerns:
- Hours of operation: Monday thru Friday 10am - 3pm. We had
mentioned 10am-4pm taking into consideration for unforeseen
events but we can certainly commit to 10am-3pm. On weekends
we will be open between the hours of 10am-2pm the latest and
over 95% of this is parent drop off. On weekends hours of
operations is limited to 10am-2pm & drop off is only for SPECIFIC
appointments where kids can be dropped off by their parents.
- Traffic flow: We had asked the landlord to provide us with at
least 15 parking lots as what we would need during peak hours for
us which is on Fridays (once per week) between the hours of
12pm-2:30pm. However, based on the size of the rental unit, the
Landlord has assigned at least 20 parking lots which is more than
enough for what we would need. If it is needed, the Landlord is
willing to mark our 20 parking lots. We intend to make sure all our
appointments, and provided services are in compliance to the UP
limitations and also to our lease terms with the Landlord. Again,
with all our already initial investments to rent this property, &
including our long term goal for a good start, it is in our interest to
make this work.
- Noise: We understand the noise implications of Taekwondo. Our
services and activities within our organization criteria is noise
limited not only for adjacent stores but also inside our building of
operations. Our services that we provide do not required any noise
that is not sustainable inside the property needless to affect
adjacent stores or neighbors of the community.
- Albertville exterior signage code: We have read and
understands the exterior signage code of the City of Albertville and
we have discussed it as a group on our how we can maintain
compliance. Based on the code, we will have no issue to maintain
compliance. All our activities are done inside, parent drop off policy
is to ensure they signed in their kids to one of our volunteers
ensuring they are inside the building before departure. Our
volunteer members knows and committed to ensure they are inside
at all times until parent pick-up.
- Long term goal: Most importantly including the investment we have
already made for a limited 1 year UP applications, it is also our interest
to make sure this work based on the fact that, our main objectives for
long term is to purchase a property for our services to our community.
We went thru this PUD/IUP process with the City on Monticello MN and
we were approved to purchase the former event hall at the City of
Monticello but we got outbid so the seller end up selling it to another
party.
We have been renting at the city of Rogers to conduct our services and
recently over the last several months to about a year or so, we have
been renting the OLD fire station at St. Michael to provide services to
our community. Even when our main goal is to purchase, we decided
collectively to rent a place where we can at least have a temporary
permanent location address until we purchase a place. For now, we
have been changing rental places based on availability between nearby
cities so renting temporarily will ensure consistencies for our address.
Also most importantly, we collectively determined that with a permanent
temporary address, will BOOST fundraising from the community which
can only help us meet our long term objective to purchase sooner than
later.
- Large crowds: We intend to prevent crowds above 30-35 people at a
given time which mostly will be drop off. Even at that, with the drop off,
when we are expecting large crowds for a specific. Our largest expected
crowd occurs ONCE per week on Friday between the hours of 12pm-
2:30pm with maximum expectations of 20-30 members at a given time.
The 20 assigned parking lot is more than enough to sustain this crowd.
Note that, among this expected peak, some will be car pooling with
family members & or friends so basically, we may need maximum of 15-
16 parking lots which is less than our maximum capacity of 20 . The rest
of the 6 days of the week, the crows will even be less than 5-15 people
at max.
Thank you in advance for your consideration to our request for an
approval of a limited UP for our organization to help make a
positive difference in our communities.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you.

REVIEW
Interim Use Permit
An IUP is similar to a conditional use permit, except there are additional conditions that can be
applied to an IUP that allow the city to establish a date or event that will terminate the permit.
Section 400.9 of the Zoning Ordinance states:
A. All interim use permits shall be approved with predetermined termination dates no less
than one year after the date of adoption.
B. All interim use permits shall terminate on the occurrence of any of the following events
whichever occurs first:
1. The termination date established by the City Council and stated in the interim use
permit.
2. A violation of the conditions under which the interim use permit was issued.
3. A change in this ordinance that causes the use to become nonconforming.
4. The use has been discontinued for twelve (12) or more months.
C. Upon expiration of an interim use permit, the applicant may reapply for a renewal of
the interim use permit. Prior granting of an interim use permit does give an applicant
an vested right to renewal.
Under Minnesota State Statute, termination can also be based on an event, such as a change in
ownership.
The Zoning Ordinance states that an issued IUP must be valid for at least one year, but it can be
issued for longer. The Planning Commission should discuss the preferred term for the permit.
Upon expiration of an interim use permit, the applicant may reapply for a renewal of the interim
use permit. Because this is a new land use to the city, staff is recommending a one-year term for
the IUP.
Proposed Use
The proposed community center with accessory prayer services will occupy an existing suite
within the structure at 11011 61 st Street SE. The use will include a front lobby, an office, two
studios, and two restrooms.
The applicant has provided a narrative as well as a supplementary email that summarizes their
current operations at their facility in St. Michael, MN, and expected operations which include:
• Hours of operation between 10 am and 4 pm, Monday to Friday, which occasional
operation on weekends. The applicant noted that operations outside of this time frame
typically require approval from executive members within the community center.
• Current peak times are on Fridays between noon and 2 pm and expected to remain
consistent
• Current max occupancy with the use of 35 people, with an average between 15 to 20
people. Expected growth to be approximately 75 people maximum.
• No anticipated daily schedule with exceptions for scheduled events such as tutoring
sessions, employment seeking assistance, training, immigrant education, etc., occurring
twice a month with an anticipated attendance between 2 and 10 people.
• The applicant estimates a current maximum parking need of 10 parking spaces and
believes the average use is lower. The applicant expects this need to rise to a maximum
Planning Commission Request for Recommendation - May 12, 2026
Planning - Majid Quba ][UP Page 3 of 6
of 19 based on expected maximum
attendance at peak hours. The applicant
has stated that their lease dedicates 20
parking stalls to the use, with potential for
additional spaces.
The expected age groups of visitors are
between six and 75 years old. The
applicant notes that minors must be
accompanied by an adult.
The community center will provide a wide
variety of services such as counseling and
mentomig, cultural and historical
education, religious education, tutoring,
prayer services, job training and
application assistance, community services
related to food and clothing, and economic
support and education.

and City Council should consider possible adverse
effects of the proposed use. This judgement shall
be based upon, but not limited to, the following
factors:
I. The proposed action has been
considered in relation to the speck

As community centers are allowed within this commercial PUD, the proposed use is
consistent with the official city comprehensive plan and the goals for commercial land.
2. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future uses of the area.
The proposed use is and will be compatible with other uses in the Albertville Plaza 1 at
Addition and 2nd Addition PUD and the B-3 zoning districts. Small Town Atmosphere
Goal 1 in the Albertville Vision/Comprehensive Plan is to maintain and protect
Albertville's small town identity by promoting civic organizations and community
events.
3. The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained herein.
The use is limited to 21700 sq. ft. of the building and is occupying a 2,620 sq. ft. suite
within the structure. The proposed useless no use specific performance standards. The
proposed use and site appear to meet the requirements established in the Zoning
Planning Commission Request for Recommendation — May 12, 2026
Planning — Majid Quba ][UP Page 4 of 6
Ordinance.
4. The proposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is
proposed.
The proposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed.
The proposed use is allowed in the district through the Albertville Plaza 1st Addition
PUD. .
5. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not
overburden the city's service capacity.
The proposed use is not expected to have any more demand on public services than the
current use of the site-
6. Traffic generated by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the
property.
The proposed use is expected to generate more traffic than the existing use (vacant
tenant space), but the capabilities of streets serving the property are sufficient at this
time. Any traffic issues that become apparent may be addressed at a fature point when
the R1P is reconsidered by the City Council upon expiration and request for renewal or
continuation.
Additionally, the PUD establishes prayer services are accessory to the community center use and
other services provided. Due to the potential for parking to be an issue, that prayer is not the
principal use, and there is no fixed seating to calculate minimum parking required, a condition
limiting the square footage devoted to the accessory prayer service may be reasonable.
Dimensional Standards
The proposed use does not include any exterior modifications that impact the existing
dimensional standards for the parcel.
The PUD limits the use to 21700 sq. ft. of the structure, and the proposed use will occupy 2,620
sq. ft. of the structure.

The applicant has stated that their lease for the budding guarantees 20 parking stalls for the use,
with the option of utilizing additional stalls if needed. The applicant states that the need for
parking is driven by the community center attendance growing and anticipates 20 parking stalls
to be sufficient. City Code requires a minimum of 13 stalls for the proposed use. Based on the
existing uses and proposed use within the entire building, the minimum required parking stalls,
62, are provided. Staff have included a condition that the parking on the site may need to be
increased if the current supply of 71 off-street parking stalls proves to be insufficient for existing
uses and the proposed use. Based on the parking requirements in the Zoning Ordinance, there
should be nine additional stalls on the property, which could be allocated to the community
center use, for a total of 22 stalls.
As noted in the application and the PUD, this community center will have accessory prayer
service as an ancillary activity. The Zoning Ordinance requires parking for churches to be: At
least I space for each 4 seats based on the design capacity of the main assembly hall. Facilities
as may be provided in conjunction with such buildings or uses shall be subject to additional
requirements which are imposed by this ordinance.
If 20 parking stalls are dedicated per the lease for the use, this means there could be seating for
up to 80 people, based on the ratio of parking spaces per seats. Additionally, the building official
has determined the occupancy load of the studios is 88 people which would require 22 stalls be
available for the use. A condition has been added limiting the number of people on site for prayer
services to 80. The Planning Commission should discuss whether parking is thought to be
adequate as proposed, if additional parking is needed, or conditions on prayer space are
warranted.
Screening
As part of the review of the site, the screening fence located to the northwest and southwest
property lines of Lot 1, Block 1 was noted to need maintenance, as there is a piece of fence that
has fallen over that is in need of repair. The fence is required to be maintained to provide
Planning Commission Request for Recommendation — May 12, 2026
Planning — Majid Quba IUP Page 6 of 6
screening from the adjacent residential uses. A condition has been added that the fence be
repaired prior to Certificate of Occupancy.

RE: Albertville Plaza
" WARNING: This email is from outside the company. Proceed with Caution"'
Good morning, everyone,
Hi TJ,
Again, thanks for the opportunity to clarify some of the concems/questions below. We had a
meeting with some few key members yesterday for discussions to clarify and respond:
Please note that, our collective response is reflected in "red background"
Your narrative for the IUP indicates a maximum of 35 people in the building. I
understand that during the Planning Commission for the PUD Amendment that you stated
the maximum was around 75 people. Please clarify. Yes, that is correct and that was our
narrative. The 35 people at max came from our CURRENT estimation during peak
gathering on Friday between noon-1:30pm at the St. Michael OLD fire station where we
currently meet' However, the anticipated 75 people at max was a trajectory on
community growth etc. at worst case with <10% probability . These numbers where
grandfathered in from our application for Monticello PUD/IUP application which was
later approved but at the end, we were overbid for the place so we end up not purchasing
the property (use to be the event center at the City of Monticello MN. which the City of
Monticello had approved of use for our organization)
Your narrative for the IUP indicates a maximum need of 8 - 10 parking stalls. I
understand that during the Planning Commission for the PUD Amendment that you stated
the anticipated need for the maximum was around 25 stalls. Please clarify. Similar
response here as numberl. We consider an AVERAGE of 4 family member per vehicle
so with our current peak on Fridays between the hrs. of noon-1:30pm, with observed
population at 35 at max at a given time, the 8-10 parking spaced that is being utilized
should accommodate with only 8-10 parking space which should give you about 32-40
people at a given time. However, we actually have on our lease term with our landlord,
that our landlord officially documented, our organization has at least 20 parking space
designated for us which should accommodate for about at least 80 people which also has
the capacity of more than our estimated count in the future with a growing community
although we do not think this need will be anytime soon with the next year or two based
on different schedules in the community. This is taking into account about 4 people per
vehicle on an average as we also had talked about carpooling if we exceed the provided
space of x20 parking spaces. The landlord also mentioned about allowing us to utilize
more space at the back that is usually not filled. However, we collectively decided to plan
for what is documented officially on the lease for the 20-space provided so this way, we
are covered all the time and in compliance to the lease terms and the cities IUP
guidelines.
• Your narrative for the IUP indicates hours of operation between 10 am and 4 pm,
Monday to Friday with occasion weekends as scheduled.
o Does the 10 am to 4 pm reflect the hours on the potential weekends? The l0am-
4pm operating hrs. came about when we think we should have volunteers available
to help kids with homework or assignments which should not be more than x5 APs
at a given time as we ONLY currently have x5 volunteers to help with job
application help, assignments, civic help, help with immigration applications
etc....
• Would hours of operations be earlier or later for any specific events or
occasions? Yes, we may have impromptu meetings, gatherings etc. but we do not
anticipate any high volume of traffic beyond our rational numbers stated. For
example, few people might decide to go there outside of 10am-4pm, can certainly
use the building but there is going to be a control over that as there MUST be at
least 5 community members in order to open the doors and a MAX of 35 people in
order to do that with at least approval from TWO executive members. The last but
not least, anytime we plan large gatherings, the best place to look is our record of
rentals with the city of Albertville at their larger space at the City of Albertville for
when we expect large crowds for child baptism, wedding parties, etc. When we do
these large gatherings, we would typically and will continue to rent the city hall at
Albertville which has larger space to sustain space and parking needs.
0
Overall,
I want to also point out that, with everyone busy schedule at our primary work, we usually don't
meet with enough people beyond 10 - <20 parking space so we will have no issue to maintain
crowd control to be in compliance to both our lease terms and also city IUPs
guidelines/limitations. Note that, our estimations is based off from at our PEAK time where we
expect maximum community memebers gathering on a given time. This specific time is once a
week on Fridays between the hrs of noon-1:30pm. The specific time may change based on day
light saving time. Thus, it wil be fluctuating between the hrs of noon- 1:30pm and OR, at 1pm-
2:30pm.
We are looking forward to dsicuss with you more in details when we visual meet tomorrow.

NbertvilleCity Administrator's Update
May 28, 2026
Small r��,�� Living.Bg City Li Fe.
GENERAL ADMINISTRATION
Albertville Fire Department: The Albertville Fire Department is planning an Open House on
Saturday, June 13, 2026, from 9 am to noon during this year's Friendly City Day Festival.
Albertville Friendly City Days Social: The year's social will be held on Thursday, June 11, 2026,
at 6 pm in Central Park in the Beer Gardens by the Main Stage. Thursday night is the Albertville
Firemen's Relief Craft Beer night.
Annual Recycling Rate Increase: In 2026, the City renegotiated a 5-year contract extension with
Republic Services. Resolution No. 2025-49 was approved on November 17, 2025, setting the
recycling fees for a five-year period. Beginning June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2027, the new
recycling rate will be $5.65.
2026 Election Early Voting: Wright County Election Division will now centrally manage mailed
absentee ballots by mailing and be receiving all mail -in ballots, while the City will continue
offering in -person voting at City Hall. Recent legislation changes allow cities to offer in -person
early voting only during the 18 days prior to an election instead of the full 46 days absentee
voting period. During the 18 day period, voters may place ballots directly into the tabulator
similar to Election Day voting. The City would retain flexibly to either offer the 18 days early
voting period or continue the 46 days in -person voting period for the General Election.
Historically, most in -person early voting has occurred during the final 18 days before the
election. Staff is recommending trying the new option for the August Primary Election.
2026 Elections: Filing for City Offices will begin on July 14 and run through July 28, 2026.
Campaign signs of all sizes are allowed beginning June 26. (46 days before the state primary in a
state general election year until 10 days following the state general election.)
Parks Committee — Central Park Grand Opening: The Parks Committee held their Albertville
Parks Night event in conjunction with the Central Park Grand opening on Thursday, May 14,
2026. The event featured the Albertville Fire Department, Wright County Sheriff's Office K9 Unit
and other family entertainment. Despite the rain, the event was well attended.
Code/Zoning Enforcement: The City is working on several properties regarding zoning
ordinance and/or nuisance ordinance violations. Generally, the violations include outdoor
storage of vehicles, materials, and/or equipment, and typically include junk accumulation and
illegal structures.
ENGINEERING/PUBLIC WORKS
Java Properties (ALDI and Mister): The extension of the municipal utilities from Lymon Avenue
to Mackenzie Avenue is nearing completion.
CSAH 137: The road and bridge are closed for construction. A slip ramp off of 62nd Street onto
the WB CD road was installed and the 63rd Street is being used to supplement the detour. It is
anticipated the bridge and 137 will be substantially complete by mid -August.
CSAH 19: The County is reconstructing a number of ped ramps and adding pedestrian safety
features at several of the signals all along the CSAH 19 corridor.
Fiber: We have multiple fiber companies installing fiber at many different locations though out
town. These projects are typically approved by a R/W permit.
Main Avenue Reconstruction: Work on Phase 1 is ongoing and nearing completion. The
archway is up and the lettering is complete. The final lift of pavement will be placed next week.
Work on Phase 2 will begin on June 15 following Friendly City Days.
Central Park Playground and Plaza: With the exception of a few punchlist items, the park
project is complete.
Central Park: The hockey shooting pad will be complete prior to Friendly City Days.
CSAH 18: The County awarded the project to Fehn Companies and a pre -construction meeting
took place this week. Fehn's plans to begin work the week of June 8, with the road closure not
occurring until June 15.

So11—LbA�g.�OayLV.. Mayor and Council Request for Action
June 1, 2026
SUBJECT: CLERK — LEGISLATION RELATED TO IN -PERSON ABSENTEE/EARLY
VOTING PERIOD
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Select the option to conduct 18 days of in -person Early Voting utilizing a ballot
tabulator in the City of Albertville for the Primary Election in 2026.
BACKGROUND: HF4240, signed into law on May 18, 2026, allows municipalities that
administer absentee voting to choose between continuing the 46 days of in -person absentee/early
voting or implementing an 18 day Early Voting period.
Under the current process, voters who vote in person during the first 28 days must complete an
absentee ballot application and have their ballots placed in a series of envelopments. The ballots
are processed after the voter leaves and are not inserted into the tabulator until the start of the 18-
day Early Voting period. During the final 18 days before Election Day, voters complete an
abbreviated application and can cast their ballot directly into a tabular similar to Election Day.
The League of Minnesota Cities has advocated for this change in recent years to create a clearer
voting experience for residents and improve administrative efficiency. Voters would continue to
have the option to vote by mail during the entire 46-day period.
Wright County has requested notification of the City's decision by June 12, 2026. Historically
most in -person early voting occurs during the final 18 days before Election Day. The City may
choose the 18-day option for this election and retain the flexibility to return to the 46-days period
for future elections.
KEY ISSUES:
HF 4240 allows cities to choose between a 46-day in -person absentee/early voting period
and an 18-day Early Voting period.
Early voters can cast ballots directly into a tabulator throughout the 18-day period.
Mail voting remains available for 46 days, and the City may change it approach for
future elections.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and City Council has the authority
to set City policies.

SUBJECT: FINANCE — PARKING LOT IMPROVEMENT ASSESSMENT
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: directing staff to enter into a Parking Lot Improvement Contract for property
owners of the 152 Club located at 5794 Main Avenue NE Albertville, MN 55301 - PID
101141001020, for financing parking lot improvements in the amount of $68,800, for a term of 5
years and at an annual interest rate of 6%.
BACKGROUND: The Owners of the 152 Club and BJ's Sports Tavern are working to expand
and pave a shared parking lot located on the east side of the properties. The Owners have
contracted with Omann Brother's, Inc. to complete the parking improvements, which include
grading, paving, trash enclosures, and screening as required.
The Owner of the 152 Club has inquired about financing through the City, similar to that of
residential property participating in the City's Driveway Replacement Program.
The 152 Club's share of the construction cost is $68,000. Staff recommend financing terms of no
longer than 5 years and at a rate of no less than 6%. Contract will be structured similar to a
special assessment, where payments to the City will be received annually with the property tax
payments.
KEY ISSUES:
• The City no longer has a revolving loan.
• The 152 Club's share of the parking lot improvement is $68,000.
