an approximately 858 square foot residential detached Accessory Use
Structure — Maior in an R-1 (Single -Family Residence) District
Applicant: Jerome Buboltz
Angela Schumann noted that the City received a request for Conditional Use
Permit for a detached accessory use structure for 1312 West River Street. At this
time, the applicant has requested tabling the item to allow more time to revise
their application.
Sam Murdoff opened the public hearing. There were no comments from the
public.
MARC SIMPSON MOVED TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND
TABLE ACTION ON THE APPLICATION REQUEST TO THE REGULAR
AUGUST MEETING OF THE COMMISSION. JOHN ALSTAD SECONDED
TO THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED, 5-0.
B. Public Hearing - Consideration of a request for Rezoning to B-2 (Limited
Business) from B-2 (Limited Business) and B-3 (Highway Business) &
Preliminary and Final Plat for River Mill 6th Addition for proposed office
building
Applicant: Stacy Thielman-Jost
Steve Grittman, NAC explained that the request was for preliminary and final plat
to combine two outlots into a single parcel. It was noted that the parcel to the
south is zoned B-3 and the northern parcel is zoned B-2, the intent is to zone the
parcel to B-2.
Grittman reminded the Planning Commission of a previous lot line adjustment
request associated with the adjacent Hawk's property. It was noted that a fence
was constructed some time ago for the Hawk's property, which was on the
adjacent property. The lot line adjustment was recommended for approval by the
Planning Commission, however Wright County Recording would not allow the
combination because the lots were approved through different subdivisions and
the metes and bounds system. An easement agreement would be worked out
between the two property owners, which would therefore create a slight change to
the proposed plat to reflect that the lot line will not be adjusted.
Planning Commission Minutes — July 2nd, 2019 Page 2 1 14
Grittman noted that the plans were to develop a small office building on the site,
which is a permitted use in the district and expected to meet zoning requirements.
Sam Murdoff opened the public hearing.
Stacy Thielman-Jost, applicant, indicated her request for preliminary and final
plat. Thielman-Jost indicated that she had no concerns with the Exhibit Z
comments.
Charlotte Gabler asked if a landscaping plan was provided. Grittman explained
that the landscaping is subject to the building permit and would be handled
administratively.
Marc Simpson asked what type of business would be expected to build on the site.
Thielman-Jost explained that her business — an office for Gateway Music
Festivals and Tours, would be locating at the site.
MARC SIMPSON MOVED TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. PC -2019-015,
RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF RIVER
MILL 6TH ADDITION AND REZONING OF OUTLOTS A AND B, RIVER
MILL, TO B-2, LIMITED BUSINESS, SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS IN
EXHIBIT Z, AND BASED ON FINDINGS IN SAID RESOLUTION. KATIE
PETERSON SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED, 5-0.
EXHIBIT Z
Plat and Rezoning
Outlots A and B. River Mill
Conditions of approval for the proposed preliminary and final plat:
1. Compliance with the recording requirements of Wright County.
2. Execution of a development agreement for necessary site development items as
required by staff.
3. The preliminary and final plat shall reflect the final southerly lot line
configuration based on property ownership.
4. Compliance with the requirements of the City Engineer and other staff as
identified.
C. Public Hearing - Consideration of a request for a Comprehensive Plan
Amendment from Urban Reserve to Places to Live, Rezoning to R-1 (Single
Family Residence), R -A (Residential Amenities) and Planned Unit
Development, and Preliminary Plat for a 335 Unit Residential Development,
including single-family and townhome unit development.
Applicant: Marc D. Schulte
Planning Commission Minutes — July 2nd, 2019 Page 3 114
Steve Grittman explained the land use request and demonstrated the subject area.
Grittman explained that the land is in the Monticello Orderly Annexation Area.
The property owner is working with the City Council on moving the annexation
process through. Annexation occurs concurrent with final plat.
Grittman provided the site plan and discussed the road alignment. It was noted
that a round -about would be constructed in the center of the development to serve
the area on 85th Street.
Grittman noted that the plans show a townhouse development of 75 units and
would require a Planned Unit Development (PUD). The request is to rezone a
portion of the subject area to PUD, but would require a Development Stage and
Final Stage application at a future date. Grittman further explained that 220 lots
were proposed to be R-1 lots with 40 lots being proposed for the R -A District.
Grittman explained a proposed phasing plan.
Grittman also showed the Planning Commission a proposed parks plan, tree
preservation plan (specifically near the proposed townhouse development where a
majority of the trees can be found), and a sidewalk and trail plan.
Grittman noted that a wetlands alteration permit has been filed with the state. If
the report returns with changes to the wetlands, the applicant would be expected
to re -submit plans to accommodate the changes and any lot or street changes.
Staff recommended approval of the application with conditions as identified in
Exhibit Z.
Sam Murdoff asked why the round -about was located in the center of the
development rather than in a different location. Grittman explained that the
location was selected due to the current angular configuration of Fallon Avenue as
it intersects with 85th, which then intersects with Eisele. The roundabout will
create a better connection and overall intersection for each of these collector
routes. . Murdoff asked about access points. Grittman responded that there would
be four access points to the development. Staff were comfortable with the
proposal. Murdoff asked about setbacks. Grittman responded that the applicant
would need to meet all setbacks per the zoning ordinance. Garage setbacks for the
townhouses was also brought to the attention of staff. Grittman explained that the
applicant would be expected to meet setbacks, but for the townhouse project it
would fall under a PUD.
Murdoff also asked if Fallon Avenue would be reconstructed with the
development of Haven Ridge. Matt Leonard noted that the City is requesting
safety improvements to Fallon Avenue to include a four foot shoulder on each
side. He explained that changing Fallon Avenue to an urban section would be a
future improvement and development driven. Marc Simpson asked if any turn
lanes were proposed for Fallon Avenue. Leonard declined and noted that the
round -a -bout would help with safety concerns.
Planning Commission Minutes — July 2nd, 2019 Page 4 114
Sam Murdoff opened the public hearing.
Marc Schulte, applicant, was asked about the phasing plan and timing. Schulte
anticipated completion of Phase 1 and 2 by the end of the year. Phases 3 and 4
was anticipated in 2 to 4 years. Charlotte Gabler asked about development in the
phases. Schulte indicated that up to ten builders may be present to complete the
development.
Barbara O'Brien asked if the developer would add any landscaping or fencing
along 85th and Fallon Avenue. Grittman explained there is proposed landscaping
near the round -a -bout. Gabler asked if any covenants would be in place to prohibit
the type of fencing in development.
Terry Rothenbacher, Carlson McCain, noted that they have been working with
City staff for the past two years on a proposal. He noted that an EAW and
archeological study was completed and returned as a negative declaration. He
noted as development is closer, they would work with the City on an acceptable
landscape plan. A preliminary landscape plan was provided in the agenda packet.
Rothenbacher explained that he received the Exhibit Z comments, but that his
team is working on fully digesting each of the comments.
O'Brien also asked that larger lots and homes be developed in Monticello.
Rothenbacher noted that in his experience with developing in the cities, people
don't necessarily want larger lots due to cost.
Gabler asked if any land use approvals would be necessary for decks encroaching
in the right of way. Grittman explained that it shouldn't be an issue and that a
pathway would be constructed in a wetland buffer area.
Gabler asked if a park should be included in the development. Angela Schumann
explained that the Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed the plat. It was
noted that the city's standard is to be within a half mile of a park. Hunter's
Crossing meets this request as such the developer is not proposing another park.
The developer will also be providing and constructing trails to help support park
dedication requirements. The importance of having a trail connect to Hunter's
Crossing Park and loop trail system were discussed.
Evan Gerzema, Monticello Township resident, asked about the trail proposed on
the south west corner of the site and its connection point. Grittman explained that
the trail would connect north along Edmonson to 85th. Gerzema also noted
concerns with flooding near the wetland. Leonard indicated that they reviewed
this as a part of the stormwater review. He noted that the City would be sure
stormwater was handled appropriately. Murdoff asked about as stormwater pond
near Hunter's Crossing.
Murdoff asked about Exhibit Z in response to the applicant working through the
list. Grittman explained that if any of the conditions could not be met, an amended
application may be necessary.
Planning Commission Minutes — July 2nd, 2019 Page 5 114
Steve Grittman asked to add the following comments to Exhibit Z.
1. The applicant comply with required wetland permits as related to the
proposed plat, with any substantive changes or alterations resulting from
compliance requiring a plat amendment, as necessary.
2. Compliance with the comments of the Wright County Highway Engineer.
3. Compliance with the comments of the City Engineering Department letter,
dated June 26th, 2019.
Melissa Barrett, Kjolhaug Environmental Services described the wetland
permitting as she wrote the application. Laura Wehr, WSB, explained that the
applicant would receive permits from both Wright County Soil and Water
Conservation District and Army Corp of Engineers. She explained an extension
was sought, which may push the permitting to the August meeting for Wright
County. Barrett also noted that the Army of Corp of Engineers have a lengthy
review process. Grittman explained that the preliminary plat approval was subject
to Exhibit Z which includes wetland permitting. Once all of the conditions have
been satisfied, the plat can continue.
Rothenbacher asked the Planning Commission to approve the application with the
exclusion of the wetland permitting. He would like to continue working with staff
on the Exhibit Z comments and keep the project moving.
Tom Collins, 8278 Eisele Avenue, asked about the extension of the road to the
east from the round -a -bout. Grittman indicated that the development plans show
that the road would stop at the Denn property (subject property). With future
development of the parcels to the east, the road would be expected to continue
east along the property line.
Shannon Bye, 5235 85th St NE, represented the township and noted that a
finalized wetland permitting review document has not been received. She
requested that the Township review prior to final approval of the plat. Laura
Wehr, WSB, explained the wetland permitting process. Wehr noted that the Army
Corp of Engineers sent a letter to adjacent property owners requesting public
comment. Once the deadline for public comment has been reached, the Army
Corp of Engineers sends the comments to the applicants to comment.
Hearing no further comments, Sam Murdoff closed the public hearing.
Marc Simpson asked how many single family residential lots were available in the
City of Monticello. Schumann estimated 60 R-1 or R -A lots.

D. Public Hearing - Consideration of a request for an Amendment to Monticello
Zoning Ordinance Chapter 3.4 (F) R-2 (Single and Two Family Residence)
District amending the allowable density in the district and Conditional Use
Permit for a 3-4 unit multi -family dwelling in an R-2 (Single and Two Family
Residence) District
Applicant: Shannon Sanford
Steve Grittman explained that the application requested two actions. The first was
for a Zoning Ordinance Amendment that would alter the lot area per unit for
multi -family dwellings in the R-2 District. Subsequent to that request, the
applicant is seeking a Conditional Use Permit to accommodate a multi -family unit
at 530 W Broadway.
Grittman explained the current code's base density requirement against the
proposed amendment.
Staff recommended denial of the ordinance amendment as it would remove the
density compatibility of multi -family and consistency found in the ordinance.
Grittman also noted that the site was suitable in the R-2 District to allow 3 units
with the current structure and lot. Grittman provided a list of proposed conditions
as identified in Exhibit Z.
Sam Murdoff asked in which zoning district would allow higher density. Grittman
responded the R-3 or R-4 District.
Marc Simpson asked what the use of the building currently was. Ron
Hackenmueller noted that the second floor contained an apartment unit and main
floor was an office.
Planning Commission Minutes — July 2nd, 2019 Page 10 114
Murdoff asked what the zoning of the parcel was. Grittman responded that it was
located in the R-2 District. He noted that the site use to be a funeral home and that
commercial uses replaced the funeral home. Currently, the commercial use is a
legal, non -conforming use in the R-2 District.
Sam Murdoff opened the public hearing.
Shannon Sanford, the applicant, introduced herself. She noted that it was logical
based on the size to split the building into four units. Sanford explained that no
additions would occur on the site. She also noted that she would eliminate some
excess concrete and replace with green space and landscaping. Sanford also noted
that a four-plex was in the neighboring vicinity of the property.
Murdoff asked if the applicant would be open to three units. Sanford noted that
she would have to further discuss. She noted that with three units she would need
to go back to re -draw to accommodate three units. She noted that she was unsure
if the rents could sustain such large units.
Staff showed the applicant the Exhibit Z comments. She noted that a survey
would be completed. She also noted that public comment was received to have a
privacy fence, which the applicant was open to.
Marc Simpson asked if there was any screening to the south of the lot. Sanford
declined, but noted there was some landscaping. Sanford was open to additional
buffering to the south.
Tim Dietrichs, KW Commercial, represented the seller. He referenced back to
Sanford's notation of another 4 flex in town. He noted that in 2016, a 4 plex was
approved with a lot size of 18,249, and 2,100 square foot building.
Jonathan Machmer, 549 W Broadway, noted concerns with the four plex property
that the applicants referred to for their project. He noted blight conditions of the
property. Ron Hackenmueller explained that the Building Department is in the
process of writing the property owner a violation of ordinance notice. He noted
that the property is a three unit facility and up to date on its residential license.
Angela Schumann entered into the record a letter that was received from Evan &
Erin Jones at 513 W 3rd Street. In summary, they requested additional screening
for the proposed project.
Machmer requested that if a privacy fence is to be considered that it should be
considered for all sides of the property.
Heather Elliot, 531 W Broadway, expressed the desire to accommodate the
project. She noted that the City's need for more affordable housing.
Sanford noted that she owns other rental property in Minneapolis that is in similar
states to the property in Monticello. She noted that she would improve the
property site especially due to the amount of traffic that drive past the property.
Planning Commission Minutes — July 2nd, 2019 Page 11 1 14
She also noted that the overall plan includes to remove some of the parking area.
Sanford explained that she would monitor parking at the site. She also noted that
covered parking would be provided.
Sam Murdoff asked if there was another way to accommodate the applicant's
request rather than using an ordinance amendment. Grittman noted that a variance
or rezoning could be applied, but may not be recommended by staff. The other
alternative is planned unit development.
Hearing no further comments, the public hearing was closed.
Murdoff asked if the applicant would be opposed to applying for a Planned Unit
Development rather than a CUP. Sanford noted that she would be open to it as
long as there was some certainty that the application would be approved.

E. Public Hearing - Consideration of a request for an Amendment to Planned
Unit Development for the Addition of a Dump Station Facility
Applicant: Kinghorn Construction — Tucker Osterberg
Angela Schumann introduced the item and noted that the applicant was seeking to
be allowed a 1,000 gallon dump station on the south edge of the site. The
applicant would also be adding LP tanks in the south edge of the site, which is a
permitted use. The applicant proposed being open to the public and open during
general business hours and weekends. No changes to parking were proposed.
Schumann indicated that the dump station would be located 35 feet from the south
property line. An existing berm on the property and vegetation exist in the area.
The applicant is required to intensify the amount of landscaping in the area.
Staff recommended approval of the application with conditions as noted in
Exhibit Z.
Sam Murdoff opened the public hearing.
Planning Commission Minutes — July 2nd, 2019 Page 12 114
Discussion of the location of the dump station was discussed. Tucker Osterberg,
Kinghom Construction and Scott Kunz, Monticello RV introduced themselves.
Kunz explained the reasoning for the location. Kunz stated that the main reason
for including the dump station was because the city of Monticello doesn't have a
place to dump waste. He asked that the SAC charge per the Exhibit Z comments
be removed. Kunz noted that the tank is polypropylene.
John Alstad asked if the tank would be vented. Osterberg confirmed and noted the
amount of odor emission would be limited.
Charlotte Gabler asked how long the tanks last. Osterberg noted thirty years
warranty.
Alstad asked for clarification on the hookup. Osterberg noted that it would be
connected to City water and sewer.
Carissa Bloomdahl, 10101 Park Place Drive, noted concerns with property values
and odors.
Alison Zimpfer asked for clarity on the lighting and any spillage to south. Kunz
noted that only one wall pack lighting would be used near the site. He also
explained that the dump station would only be open during normal business
hours.
Discussion regarding the hours of operation was discussed. It was noted that the
hours vary depending on the season, but that the facility would be closed when it
was dark. Kunz noted that residents would not even notice a camper using the
dump station due to landscaping the berm. Kunz noted that staff would look into
installing a gate at the entry.
