1. General Business
A. Call to Order
Sam Murdoff called the Special Joint Meeting of the Planning Commission and
City Council to order at 430 p.m.
2. Regular Agenda
A. Consideration of a Concept Sta�e Planned Unit Development proposal for a
buildin� addition on two lots in the IBC (Industrial and Business Campus)
District
Applicant: Ultra Machinin� Company
Angela Schumann introduced the meeting to the boards, staff, and UMC
representatives. Steve Grittman reviewed the staff report. It was noted that a
Planned Unit Development would be needed to facilitate the proj ect. The reason
the proj ect would require a PUD is because there is a lot line that divides the new
addition from the existing addition. Also, a PUD would also consider the height
of the building, which is expected to fluctuate between 40 and 50 feet. In an
industrial district, the maximum height is 30 feet.
Grittman explained that the purpose of the Concept Stage PUD is to provide the
applicant with feedback to be able to make a Development Stage PUD
application.
Grittman explained that the comprehensive plan designation was consistent with
the use the applicant was proposing. It was also noted that the site plan
demonstrated adequate parking.
Grittman opened the meeting for comment from the Commissioners.
Discussion regarding the two parcels and the ability to combine the parcels to
avoid the PUD. Grittman explained that it was possible to combine the lots, but a
plat or other zoning actions would be necessary. Discussion also occurred
regarding subdividing the parcels if they were to combine them and then need to
split them again in the future.
It was noted that no Wild and Scenic District, Shoreland, or wetlands were
present on the site.
Planning Commission Minutes (Joint Meering) — December 3, 2019 Page
1�2
It was understood that any future expansion of the buildings after the expansion of
UMC would require a PUD amendment.
Building materials were also discussed. Grittman responded that the applicant has
indicated a mix of materials such as architectural metal, tip up concrete panels,
and window treatment.
Stormwater discussion pursued. The applicant noted that they would utilize an
existing pond on site for most of their stormwater.
A landscaping plan and photometric would be supplied at a future land use
application.
Grittman opened the discussion to the applicants to speak.
Tim Dolan, Decklan Group, noted the importance of receiving valuable feedback
prior to an official land use application.
The timeline for the project to commence would be in March or April with a
December 2020 Certificate of Occupancy. It was explained that the existing
building would be kept up and re-painted to match the new building. UMC also
has been making renovations to their existing building such as installing
mechanical equipment and equipment upgrades.
Interior space design was discussed.
Sam Murdoff wanted to make sure that the applicant ensures that access points
would be adequate.
Surrounding land uses and future projected businesses were discussed for the
area.

2. Public Hearings
A. Public Hearin� — Consideration of a request for variance for an Accessorv
Structure in the Front Yard and Setback of 20 feet in the I-1 (Li�ht
Industrial) District
Applicant: Matthew Jackson/Polaris
Steve Grittman introduced the item for variance to setback requirements to allow
an accessory cooling system. He noted that Fallon Avenue is considered the side
yard because there is no access to the public street. Typically, the narrowest side
of a parcel is the frontage, but it must have street access. In this instance, Chelsea
Road is considered the front yard, with Fallon Avenue being the side yard.
Planning Commission Minutes — December 3, 2019 Page 1 � 4
The sideyard setback is 30 feet from the property line. The applicant is proposing
an accessory structure to be located 10 feet into the setback area.
Grittman reviewed the criteria for granting variances to the Planning Commission.
Grittman explained that the Planning Commission acts as the Zoning Board of
Appeals and makes the determination for variance.
It was noted that multiple locations were researched by both the applicant and
staff. This location was most ideal for operational purposes. Staff agreed that this
location was least visible from the street, but recommended additional
landscaping surrounding the unit.
Staff recommended approval of the application, subj ect to conditions displayed in
Exhibit Z.
Sam Murdoff asked if the "but for" test was applied and that if it weren't for the
Fallon Avenue overpass, the project would have been permitted. Grittman
confirmed and noted additional easement areas were required by the City for the
Fallon Avenue overpass.
Paul Konsor asked about the location of the structure and if it could be slid into
the nook area to avoid the variance. Grittman confirmed, but deferred to the
applicant to further answer the question.
Jesse Bartel, WSUPolaris, introduced himself and provided a short history of the
acquisition of the business. With the acquisition of the company, they were
looking at ways to expand their operations and would like to begin aluminum
diecasting in their facility.
Bartel responded to Konsor's question regarding the location of the cooling
system. He noted that the equipment was being requested at that location due to
the location inside the building where the aluminum diecasting would occur.
Bartel also noted that they did not want to place the equipment in the nook area
because that location could serve as a future building expansion.
Bartel also provided further clarification on the purpose of the cooling system
equipment.
Murdoff asked the applicant if he was familiar with the comment in Exhibit Z.
Bartel confirmed and noted that he would comply with all conditions.
Charlotte Gabler asked if more jobs would be created with the business
expansion. Bartel responded that six full-time jobs with two shifts would be
added.

Workplan Preparation
Angela Schumann provided a draft work plan to the Planning Commission. She
requested comments and additional items to be added to the draft. It was noted
that the City Council would receive the final version of the workplan. It was noted
that the main focus of the Board would be on the comprehensive plan.
Charlotte Gabler asked if any complaints have been received related to noise.
Schumann noted that in the winter there are few complaints, but the spring and
summer see an uptick It was noted that many of the complaints are related to
businesses that have been in place for many years. The focus when it comes to
noise complaints is education to residents and property owners. Schumann
encouraged the Planning Commission to review both the City Code and Zoning
Ordinance for noise provisions.

Schumann also explained that the Planning Commission would begin using
Surface Pros at their January meeting and would no longer have paper agendas.

Project Description: The applicant is seeking approval of a lot combination
to add a parcel of approximately 2.3 acres to the
existing Kjellberg's West Manufactured Home Park
parcel (Parcel ID 155500154402). The property had
been intended to be conveyed from the neighboring
Planning Commission Agenda: O1/07/2020
property owner previously, but legal description issues
resulted in complications that delayed its conveyance
and proper zoning.
At the current time, the 80-foot wide parcel is proposed
to be added to the west edge of the Kjellbergs West
Manufactured Home Park property to accommodate the
installation of four additional manufactured home sites.
A clip of the land use map is shown below, highlighting

ANALYSIS
Land Use.
The property has been designated as "Places to Live" in the current Comprehensive
Plan, even prior to its annexation. The current Manufactured Home Park is also
guided as with this residential designation. No change is required to the land use
designation to accommodate the request.
Zoning.
r
1
As noted above, annexation of new parcels results in a zoning designation of "A-O",
Agriculture Open Space District. The City or property owner must subsequently seek
2
Planning Commission Agenda: O1/07/2020
a zoning map amendment to designated a specific zoning district for development and
use, consistent with the requirements of the land use plan.
The applicant is seeking a rezoning to M-H, Manufactured Home Park, which would
be consistent with the current zoning of the remainder of the Kjellberg's West
community. Remaining land to the west and north is also guided for residential land
use, although it is expected that the current boundary would be the limit of the
manufactured home park development, and that adjoining land would be developed
under a different residential zoning designation.
Development within the annexed and combined area will be required to meet the
standards of the current M-H zoning ordinance. The four lots proposed appear to
allow for development to meet the dimensional requirements of the code, which shall
be verified at building permit.
Lot Combination.
The applicant is seeking combination of this parcel with the remainder of the
Kjellberg's West property. The Subdivision Ordinance requires that lot combinations
are reviewed by both the Planning Commission and City Council.
When the land to the west was being sold to another land owner, this parcel was
intended to be excluded from that transfer. However, the legal description was
unintentionally left within the transfer and was subsequently not annexed to the City.
The parties have agreed that the subject 2.3 acre parcel was intended to remain in the
ownership of the Kjellberg's Inc. organization, rather than be transferred to the
adjoining buyer. This action is intended to correct that mistake.
The effect of the combination would be to accommodate the establishment of four
additional manufactured home sites. One of the four sites is located substantially
within land already annexed within the city and the West Manufactured Home Park.
The applicants have prepared the sites in anticipation of the zoning and subdivision
actions.
In typical residential subdivisions, individual property owners purchase residential
lots to which public street and utilities are provided by the municipality. In
manufactured home parks, by contrast, residents typically lease a location which is
served by privately operated utilities. As such, there are no legally subdivided parcels
— thus, this 2.3 acre property will be combined to the entire larger property and
function as a unified land use.
It should be noted that the West Manufactured Home Park is served with municipal
sewer services. The connection to the municipal system is located outside the
boundary of the park and therefore requires the applicant to provide an easement
showing the necessary connection as a condition of this approval.
Planning Commission Agenda: O1/07/2020
Should Wright County refuse to allow the combination, the applicant will be required
to plat the parcels as necessary.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Decision 1. Rezoning of the subject parcel from A-O, Agriculture Open Space to
M-H, Manufactured Home Park District.
L Motion to adopt Resolution No. PC-2020-001, recommending approval of the
rezoning based on findings in said resolution, including a finding that the
proposed zoning is consistent with the underlying land use designation for the
area.
2. Motion to deny adoption of Resolution No. PC-2020-001, based on findings to be
identified by the Planning Commission following the public hearing.
3. Motion to table action on the resolution, subj ect to additional information from
staff or applicant.
Decision 2. Lot Combination adding the subject 2.3 acre parcel to the existing
Kjellberg's West property.
L Motion to adopt Resolution No. 2020-002, recommending approval of the lot
combination based on findings in said resolution, including a finding that the
proposed lot combination is consistent with the existing land use, and subject to
the conditions in Exhibit Z of this report.
2. Motion to deny adoption of Resolution No. 2020-002, based on findings to be
identified by the Planning Commission following the public hearing.
3. Motion to table action on the resolution, subj ect to additional information from
staff or applicant.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval for both the decisions and applications. The land use is
consistent with the land use plan, and the additional units create a natural land use
break between this revised boundary and a different residential land use to the west.
Based on a review of past city documentation, it appears that the additional units were
part of the planned park area.

The purpose of the PUD District is to provide greater
flexibility in the development of neighborhoods and
non-residential areas in order to maximize public values
and achieve more creative development outcomes while
remaining economically viable and marketable. This is
achieved by undertaking a process that results in a
development outcome exceeding that which is typically
achievable through the conventional zoning district.
The City reserves the right to deny the PUD rezoning
and direct the developer to re-apply under the standard
applicable zoning district.

Project Description
Planning Commission Agenda: O1/07/2020
Commercial Business
Townhouse Residential
Mobile Home Park Residential
Commercial (Walmart)
The applicants propose to convert the remainder of the
Monticello Business Center 6th Addition (an outlot and
parking for a portion of the existing commercial
development) to a multi-family residential
development, associated parking, and access.
Comprehensive Plan Amendment/Land Use:
The site was initially anticipated to develop as a series of commercial buildings which
would share parking and a single access point to School Boulevard. The initial
concept plan for the PUD envisioned as many as three additional commercial
buildings around the perimeter of the site and a central parking area.
The applicants now seek to utilize the south portion of the site for multi-family
residential of 92 total units on 4 floors of residential use, with both an underground
parking garage and a surface parking lot. Access would continue to be provided to
the site through an existing parking lot (primarily anticipated to be the easterly of the
two access aisles). The proposed use would therefore require an amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan reguiding this portion of the development to Places to Live from
its current Places to Shop designation.
It should be noted that while the applicant's land use exhibit illustrates the reguiding
of both the proposed lot and proposed Outlot A to residential, staff would recommend
reguiding only the lot to include the residential development and not the outlot
surrounding the existing commercial office building.
The City previously reviewed the proposal as a Concept-Stage PUD in a j oint
workshop between the City Council and Planning Commission. At that meeting, the
City officials suggested that residential use of the sort proposed could be supported
given the lack of reasonable street frontage and visibility for a commercial
development.
In those discussions, it was emphasized that there was a need to address the transition
in use between commercial on the north, and the proposed residential on the south
portions of the project site. This transition includes both architectural and site
planning elements. From the site planning perspective, the ability to provide
adequate parking, reasonable access and a sense of entry to the residential site, and a
landscaping/green space plan that enhances the residential environment of the site
would all be important factors in implementing the change in land use.
2
Planning Commission Agenda: O1/07/2020
As a PUD, the expectation is that the overall development design would show a
superior alternative to a"standard" R-4, Multi-Family Residential design. The R-4
District, which would be the base district underlying the PUD, incorporates a heavy
emphasis on architecture, site planning, and green space as a baseline requirement for
considering the conversion of land from commercial to residential.
The applicants have worked through a series of alternative solutions to these issues.
The current version makes only small changes to the primary access location along
School Boulevard. This was recommended during the concept review, as opposed to
a realigned entrance.
Residential traffic entering the site will travel through the existing commercial
parking lots (it is expected that the primary access route would be through the office
lot to the east, rather than the veterinary clinic lot to the west). Traffic would then
enter the surface parking lot provided for the residential building, or choose to utilize
the down-ramp aisle leading to the underground parking on the east side of the
building.
Staff is concerned that this layout does not address the "sense of entry" transition to
the site that has been raised during the concept discussion. Moreover, it is likely to
raise issues with emergency vehicle access and circulation given the dimensions of
the parking aisles. The design is heavy on pavement, and has little green space or
obvious pedestrian accessibility. In the sections below, comments relating to the
technical aspects of the zoning regulations are also evaluated, however, general
layout of the site plan is worthy of additional attention as the City considers the
appropriate use of PUD zoning.
Ordinance Requirements & PUD Flexibility:
Density
The apartment building is proposed to be a total of 92 units. The R-4 zoning
district allows residential densities of up to 25 units per acre. In this case, the
property consists of two parcels of land — Lot 1, Block 1, on which the
building is to be placed, and the revised Outlot A, which includes the access
drive, and all of the land surrounding the existing commercial office building
on the east side of the PUD property. Lot 1 and Outlot A total approximately
3.7 acres, which accommodates the 92 units within the R-4 density
allowance. The PUD flexibility for this aspect of the project is to attribute the
entire shared outlot to the maximum density. This is consistent with the
understanding presented during the Concept PUD review last fall.
Parking, Access and Circulation
Parking is an area of flexibility being sought by the use of PUD on this
project. The ordinance would expect a standard minimum supply of 2.25
Planning Commission Agenda: O1/07/2020
parking spaces per residential unit, with no more than 1.1 spaces per unit
uncovered (the remaining required to be covered/underground).
The proposed parking for the 92 unit building is 76 spaces underground, and
80 spaces attributable to the residential building as surface parking, a total of
156 spaces or 1.7 spaces per unit. In reviewing parking supply for multi-
family buildings of this type, staff has researched expected parking demand,
and has found that spaces-per-bedroom to be a more reliable predictor of
overall parking usage. Approximately .9 to 1.0 spaces per bedroom has been
shown to provide reasonable parking supply for multi-family buildings of this
type.
The proposed building contains 46 one-bedroom or studio units, and 46 two-
bedroom units, a total of 138 bedrooms. Applying these parking numbers to
the proposed building, the applicants propose 1.13 parking spaces per
bedroom. While this does not meet the general code requirement, it would be
expected to adequately serve the project. One issue of note would be that
there are fewer underground spaces than units, so some residents will not have
access to underground parking.
One final aspect of this parking count: it is common that apartment managers
will make underground parking available as an option to tenants that choose to
pay an additional fee. This arrangement would not be workable on this site if
the underground garage fails to fill up — too many residents would be seeking
surface parking, which would have very little, if any, available overflow. As
such, an operational requirement would be that each of the underground
spaces are included in the rent set for specific units so the parking generated
by the proj ect does not attempt to occupy the commercial parking lots.
The applicant has indicated a willingness to provide a cross-easement for
parking with adj acent commercial office building parking lot.
Finally, it is noted that pedestrian connections to this site will be of paramount
importance, given that the relatively dense site will rely on public parking and
trail amenities to support it. Access to parkland to the east and south
(including Pioneer Park and Featherstone Park to the south, as well as the
future park/water feature area being contemplated to the north) will be
important considerations for a successful residential environment.
Landscaping
As noted above, landscaping and green space are a potential issue on this site,
given the limited land area (especially in the north entry area of the proj ect).
The ordinance requires a specific level of landscape plant materials based on
site size and perimeter, as well as additional plantings for buffering the use
from adjoining land uses. The applicants have provided a planting schedule
0
Planning Commission Agenda: O1/07/2020
including the following table demonstrating compliance with the requirements
of the landscaping section of the zoning ordinance.
The primary area of departure, in terms of green space on the site, is the R-4
requirement for an extensive strip of green (neither building nor paved
parking) in the front yard from the street. On this site, the building is setback
significantly more than the required 100 foot setback in the R-4 district.
However, that front area is occupied by commercial buildings and parking lot.
At the transition point from commercial to residential, there is only a small
landscaped break (about 10 feet of width — the size of a standard parking lot
island). The R-4 district looks for an uninterrupted space of no less than 60
feet, a standard from which the PUD is seeking flexibility.

The landscape plan also indicates that all but one of the trees in the existing
boundary plantings along the east border abutting the Autumn Ridge
5
Planning Commission Agenda: O1/07/2020
Townhomes will be removed, due primarily to required grading in that area.
However, the planting plan shows an increase in overall replaced trees in that
area, with 22 trees being removed, but as many as 40 new trees in that area.
As such, the planting buffer should be enhanced as a result of the project.
Because a relatively significant change in the site plan is still possible in
response to other staff comments, the landscaping plan will need to be revised
to demonstrate compliance with these notes.
Lighting
The applicant's submission does not include a lighting plan. This plan should
be submitted for review as a part of any Final PUD package. Staff would note
that care should be taken to minimize parking lot lighting on the residential
building, and this may include consideration of existing parking lot lighting in
the commercial areas of the site. A photometric plan should take this into
consideration.
Signage
No signage plan has been submitted at this point. Staff notes that each of the
two existing buildings has a freestanding monument-style sign in the front
yard along School Boulevard. Staff would encourage a coordinated sign plan
to avoid additional free-standing signs in this space.
Building Design
The plans show a four-story building from grade at the front (north) elevation.
The same elevation from grade is maintained around the building, with the
exception of the lower-level access to the garage parking area on the east.
This area is supported by retaining wall construction on the architectural
plans, but in contrast, is shown to be graded to the lower elevation on the
grading plan. This conflict should be resolved with updated plans. If there is
to be exposed areas of the lower garage level, staff would recommend that the
approved exterior finish materials be extended to the finished grade, rather
than exposed concrete block or other exposure.
The proposed materials consist of a combination of brick along the first floor
exposure, and extending up the stairwell columns, with a variety of cement-
board panels on the remainder of the building. A contrasting ribbed cement
board panel extends around most of the upper parapet of the building.
The R-4 District requires at least 20% of the front exposure to consist of
"enhanced materials" (such as brick), with cement board as a qualifying
alternative material on the remainder of the building. The proposed building
exceeds these minimum standards.
In addition, the R-4 District requires a minimum "articulation" of at least 3
feet across the span of the primary roof line. The applicants have met this
0
Planning Commission Agenda: O1/07/2020
standard by including a series of vertical columns that extend above the main
roof parapet, and a corner architectural feature at the northwest corner that
extends to this additional elevation. The building height overall is not shown
on the plans, but appears to be approximately 40 feet to the main parapet.
This should be confirmed with the applicants.
The exterior finish includes suspended balconies for each unit. The materials
are not specified, but are presumed to be a finished metal. This should be
verified as well.
The applicant will also need to supply final square footage calculations for
each of the proposed 92 units. The current R-4 standards require a minimum
of 900 square feet total. The applicants will need to verify whether the units
will meet the standard, or the level of flexibility under PUD that is requested.
tltilities, Grading and Drainage
The City Engineer has provided comment on the grading, drainage, and
utilities for the project in the Engineer's letter dated December 20th, 2019.
Accessory Use Requirements
Trash Handling. There is an exterior dumpster area near the office building
parking lot. The applicant should confirm that the dumpster serves the office
building and not the apartment complex, as planning staff would recommend
an enclosed and/or attached trash handling area. Remote trash areas such as
the location proposed can result in significant issues related to maintenance
and litter. This requirement has been applied to all recent multi-family
proj ects. If the City chooses to accommodate a remote trash area such as the
location proposed, planning staff would recommend materials similar to the
principal building, a self-closing gate, and a roof covering the area.
Plat Standards
Preliminary/Final Plat
The proj ect requires a plat to convert the current Outlot into a numbered lot
and block The applicant has provided a preliminary plat drawing which
illustrates the replatting of Outlot A into a lot and block of approximately 2.5
acres and an outlot surrounding Lot 1, Block 1 of Monticello Commerce
Center Sth Addition (the existing office building) of approximately .99 acres.
The plat is subject to the City Engineer's review comments. This includes a
change in the name to Monticello Commerce Center 8th Addition, as a 7tn
Addition plat was previously filed.
The Plat itself is unlikely to alter boundaries significantly from the current
Outlot — if at all. However, as a part of the plat review, it will be important to
7
Planning Commission Agenda: O1/07/2020
reconfirm the required cross-easements for access and other services
throughout the site.
A vacation of the drainage and utility easement over the current outlot will be
required. The property owner shall petition for this vacation as part of the
platting process, with new easements as required by the Subdivision
Ordinance to be platted.
As noted previously, the proj ect anticipated j oint access, parking, and utility
services for commercial uses. The introduction of a residential use into the
commercial PUD and/or its management association will require review to
ensure that the site continues to be properly managed over the long term.
Park Dedication
As a residential subdivision, the development is subject to park dedication
requirements. As of the time of this report, the PARCommission had not yet
met to provide a recommendation on dedication requirements. Given the site
layout and constraints, a cash dedication is likely to be recommended by staff
to the Commission, in addition to the pedestrian connections noted earlier in
this report.
Under State Statute 462.358, with platting or replatting, the City has the
option of either requiring a land dedication for park, or the City can collect
park dedication fees for purchase of park land at another location — referred to
as "cash in lieu". The Park & Recreation Commission's consideration is
related to a recommendation for this allocation.
Under Minnesota statutes, the City may set this fee to be equal to the value of
raw land no later than at the time of final plat — this is the value of raw land
that is immediately developable, but is not yet actually developed. At this
time, only residential plat proj ects are subj ect to park dedication in
Monticello. Dedication is currently set at 11% of the land or cash-in-lieu
equivalent.

C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff had an opportunity to meet with the applicants and their design team prior to the
preparation of this report. As a result of discussions related to concerns raised in this
report, it is staff's understanding that the applicant is working through plan revisions
to address the noted comments. However, as there are several outstanding issues
related to site plan changes, including parking and access design, landscaped green
space and transition/entry to the residential portion of the proj ect site, and conflicts
between the grading plan and architectural drawings, staff believes that the items
should be tabled to the next Planning Commission meeting, allowing the applicants to
0
I�
Planning Commission Agenda: O1/07/2020
finalize changes they are working on, and add sufficient detail to the outstanding
issues noted in the staff reports.
If the Planning Commission chooses to forward the application to Council, the
attached Exhibit Z list of conditions should be included.
It should be noted that staff is supportive of the land use change overall. The
concerns relate to resolution of final site improvements and design, toward the goal of
ensuring that the project is a positive

• A narrative explaining the applicant's proposed objectives for the PUD amendment, and
public values that the applicant believes may be achieved by the project
The applicant seeks to build a 92-unit apartment building that offers a modern, comfortable and
convenient lifestyle for renters in Monticello. With the consistently full occupancy of the nearby
Monticello Crossings, we believe that another multi family development of this scale would be a benefit
to the community as another distinctive living option.
We are proposing a mix of studios, 1 bedroom, and 2-bedroom units. Most units will either be 1
bedroom or 2 bedrooms. Main access to the building will occur at the main entrance under a covered
drop off that faces north. This is accessed from a driveway from School Boulevard to the north that also
serves the existing businesses in the parcels on the interior borders of the property in question. A green

space will project north from this covered drop off that will give the building an enhanced sense of
arrival The site access between these two parcels (one of which is also owned by Mr. Kjellberg) and the
proposed development will be designed to maximize ease of access and efficiency. Ramp access to the
below grade parking level is located on the eastern half of the building while surface parking will be
provided in front of the building. Pedestrian pathways will be provided across the site to connect all the
entrances as well as outdoor amenity space. This site design will facilitate a distinguished and attractive
living destination while also accommodating and strengthening the adjacent businesses.
The design intent of the new building is to apply the latest technology, materials and trends in lifestyle
housing in an appealing combination that will capture a certain timelessness and be fresh and attractive
for years to come. Materials will be selected for their durability, constructability and textural appeal. A
combination of brick, glass, and fiber cement siding will create an interesting fa�ade and low
maintenance exterior finishes. The proposed material palette is both contemporary and dignified. Dark
grey brick and rhythmic white paneling are accented by areas of the warmer sandstone-textured fiber
cement and sleek vertical ribbed fiber cement. It is important to create a dynamic and balanced fa�ade
with the way in which the materials accent each other.
The proposed site plan aims to create a sense of arrival and entry while minimizing the impact on the
existing businesses and parking lots. The roundabout feature at the north end of the site will create an
efficient and safe means of navigating to the businesses and apartment building. The center of the
roundabout carries the potential of establishing an attractive and dignified arrival to the development.
This sense of entry is reinforced with the canopy over the main pedestrian entrance to the proposed
building. Overall, this site plan minimizes wasteful and costly demolition of the existing pavement on
site, creates a compact surface parking lot dedicated to residents and facilitates ample space for a surface
pond feature at the southern low point of the site for stormwater. We believe this layout reinforces the
destination of an attractive, modern building while also proving highly practical and responsible.
92 units in the project allow us to dedicate space to a club room and lounge for social activities to
support the creation of a sense of community. These rooms will provide comfy and cozy space, filled
with natural light and a hearth to create a focal point and sense of place.

The mailboxes will be incorporated into the area to further create opportunities for spontaneous social
interactions and tables, chairs and a coffee server will be located in this area to give people a reason to
tarry in the space a bit longer and enjoy the company of their neighbors.
Exterior space will include a patio with built in BBQ grills, trellis or other space defining elements that
make the patio both attractive and useful. This space is envisioned as another bustling social gathering
space for residents and friends to unwind and relax with one another. With an ariractive contemporary
building and units design, this proposed project has the potential to be a popular addition to Monticello's
renter housing market. We believe it will enhance Monticello's businesses by amacting younger renters
and families to the community who seek modern housing amenities in a growing and charming
community near the Twin Cities.

greater than 18%, poor soils and areas of concentrated woodiands

anticipate any undevelopable land on the parcel
o The survey calculates a parcel area of 3.49 acres, with which our proposed 92 units
provides a unit density of 26.36 units/acre, which doe exceed the R-4 maximum density
of 25. We are seeking flexibility to allow this additional unit/acre ratio.

• Outline a conceptual development schedule indicating the approximate date when
construction of the project, or stages of the same, can be expected to begin and be
completed (including the proposed phasing of construction of public improvements and
recreational and common space areas)
o Ideally, we'd be targeting an early spring (2020) construction start assuming final City
approvals happen at the January 27 City Council meeting. Typically for a project of this
size, we'd expect a 12 month construction timeframe.
• A lisNng of the areas of flexibility from the standard zoning sought through the use of PUD
design.
o Following the R-4 zoning standards, we believe we will meet building setback and design
standards. We'd be seeking flexibiliiy with regards to the density as discussed above, as
well as the parking standards. We have proposed 92 units in order to maximize the
economics of a multi-family building at this site. We've adjusted the unit count from our
PUD Concept Proposal Submittal from 80 to 92 to attain a more tenable unit count. As
such, we would not be able to achieve the parking requirement of 2.25 stalls/unit and are
seeking flexibility to provide 1 stall per bedroom instead.
o We would be seeking flexibility regarding roof design- it is our understanding that a
pitched 5:12 roof is required. To achieve the aesthetic we have envisioned, we would ask
for flexibility to have a flat roof with parapets.

Comprehensive Plan Amendment for Parcel ID 155221000010 on School Boulevard
November 15, 2019
City of Monticello Community Development
Attn: Angela Schumann
505 Walnut Street, Suite 1
Monticello, MN 55362
Dear Angela,
For your review are Firm Ground's application items for the Comprehensive Plan amendment of the
property described in the attached Land Use Application form. The checklist item description is copied
in bold with Firm Ground's response written below.
A narrative explaining the requested change and the reason(s) why the Comprehensive Plan
should be amended per the request
This narrative will outline why a comprehensive plan amendment is requested for the above
listed parcel concurrent with our PUD Amendment application. The site is part of PUD that was
originally intended to be developed as a multiple building shopping center following the guidance of the
Comprehensive Plan. However, this development intent has not come to fruition and the applicant
believes the parcel would be better suited with a high-density residential land use classification.
The 2008 Comprehensive Plan land use map, updated in 2017, has this parcel designated as land
use "places to shop." One of the key tenets discussed in the Comprehensive Plan is the provision of Life
Cycle Housing. A multifamily development at this parcel would be a contributor to that achieving that
strategy in Monticello. The proposed building would appeal to first time renters and young families
alike. This building would appeal to renters seeking a contemporary and hip rental experience within a
distinct and growing community near the Twin Cities. It would serve as a first step in the life cycle
housing strategy that will attract and retain residents for Monticello as it continues to grow over the
coming years. While there are other recent multifamily developments in the City, this proj ect would add
to diversification of housing options through its sleek design and amenity-laden residential experience.
Furthermore, a housing study completed by Monticello in 2017 concluded that more rental units are
needed within the city to stabilize its vacancy rates. While the recently opened Monticello Crossing's

added 202 units to the market, the report also states that "apartment complex has set a precedent with
200 of its units being occupied during a very short timeframe. This indicates a clear pent-up demand
that should continue to increase at the housing market recovers from the correction." The study
indicates that this pent-up demand may not only result from young families seeking new rental options
for life cycle housing, but also that there may be older Monticello residents who wish to downsize with
an amenity-rich apartment building.
Designating this parcel as a"Place to Live" on the Comprehensive Plan land use map would
contribute to the overall goals laid out for Monticello's approach to life cycle housing and will address
the pent-up rental demand that Monticello Crossings brought to the forefront. An attractive multifamily
building here will maximize the potential of an otherwise slow-to-develop plot of land and contribute
towards the City's housing goals and community growth.

Zoning Change Narrative for Parcel ID 155221000010 on School Boulevard
November 15, 2019
City of Monticello Community Development
Attn: Angela Schumann
505 Walnut Street, Suite 1
Monticello, MN 55362
Dear Angela,
For your review are Firm Ground's application items for the Ordinance Amendment checklist of the
property described in the attached Land Use Application form. The checklist item description is copied
in bold with Firm Ground's response written below.
A narrative explaining the requested modification and the reason(s) why the changes are
supported by the Comprehensive Plan
This application seeks to change the zoning classification of the above parcel from B-4 Shopping
Center to R-4 High Density Residential concurrent with our PUD Amendment application. The site is
part of PUD that was originally intended to be developed as a multiple building shopping center. This
narrative seeks to illustrate how the property in question would be better suited with a high-density
residential classification. The site is surrounded by residential uses to its east and south and a large
commercial development stretching from its west boundary. Between the building site and School
Boulevard there is also a veterinarian hospital and offices. We believe that this parcel can serve as an
effective bridge between the B-4 shopping center use into the predominantly residential uses stretching
to the south and east. The proposed four-story residential building would provide an effective housing
strategy at this nexus point of land use as a multifamily building is a common adj acency to both lower
density residential and busy commercial uses. The adjacent office and clinic use would also be
complimentary to a multifamily development since their traffic flows would generally be on an opposite
travel schedule for work commuters entering and leaving the area. Furthermore, the proposed building
is set far enough away from the Autumn Ridge townhomes so as not to impede upon their sense of
privacy.

One of the primary reasons why this parcel would be more effectively used as an R-4 district is
that as currently zoned, the land is not reaching its full potential. With the Walmart immediately to the
west and the office and clinics between the buildable area and School Boulevard, there simply is no
street frontage that is tantamount to any retail development. This is a challenging parcel to create a
successful retail environment as there is little incentive for a developer to build a multi-building retail
development when it is so sheltered from arterial right of ways. On the contrary, an R-4 zoning
designation would allow for a multifamily building that bridges effectively between land uses, is not
dependent on street frontage, and would be well served by the nearby existing commercial and
professional uses. The proposed site plan will create a sense of entry for both the existing offices and
clinic and the new development while also improving current site circulation. An approval of this
rezoning request would facilitate an exciting new development opportunity for Monticello that will
maximize an otherwise underutilized site that this ripe for this type of multifamily housing.

Technical Memorandum
To: Angie Wehmhoff, Kjellbergs Inc.
From: Max Moreland, PE, PTOE
Date: November 18, 2019
Re: Trip & Parking Generation Assessment — Monticello Residential
Purpose of Report and Study Objectives
A new 92-unit multi-family residential development is proposed on School Boulevard
immediately east of the Walmart at 9320 Cedar Street in Monticello, Minnesota.
This technical memorandum presents a high-level traffic and parking analysis of the proposed
development. The primary purpose is to determine the amount of traffic to be generated by
this development and how that impacts surrounding intersections. The peak period parking
demand for the development will also be forecast and compared to the proposed parking
supply.
A site plan dated November 4, 2019 is attached for reference.
Conclusions
Using standard trip generation data for the proposed 92-unit multi-family housing
development, the expected weekday changes in traffic volumes are:
• An increase in total daily trips by 500 trips.
• An increase in total a.m. peak hour trips by 34 trips.
• An increase in total p.m. peak hour trips by 41 trips.
Though the trip generation from this site will cause an increase in area traffic volumes, the site
is not forecast to be a high traffic generator. No significant operational impacts are anticipated
for the surrounding roadways and intersections due to trips from this proposed development.
The site is proposing to include 156 parking stalls for the residential development. It is
anticipated that the peak period parking demand forthe development will be 121 parking stalls.
This suggests the proposed parking supply for the site will be sufficient.

Minneapolis, MN 55414 USA
Spack Solutions 2 of 5 Monticello Residential
Trip & Parking Generation Assessment
Site Characteristics
The site is located off of School Boulevard immediately east of the Walmart at 9320 Cedar
Street in Monticello, Minnesota. The existing access on School Boulevard for the Monticello Pet
Hospital and Kjellberg Business Center will be utilized for this development. The residential
building will be south of the existing buildings on site with vehicles travelling through the
existing parking areas to get to/from the residential area.
The existing parking areas will be reconfigured to allow for a few additional parking spaces for
the existing buildings. There will be a total of 241 parking spaces on site; 48 for the Kjellberg
Business Center building, 37 for the Monticello Pet Hospital building and 156 for the proposed
residential building. For the residential building, 80 parking stalls will be at grade and 76 below
grade.
Trip Generation
The traffic forecasts for the site are based on the data and methods published in the Institute
of Transportation Engineers (ITEJ Trip Generation Manual, 10th Edition. The ITE Trip Generation
Manual is a compilation of traffic data for various land uses from existing developments
throughout the United States.
In addition to the new residential building, trip generation estimates were made forthe existing
buildings on site. It is assumed that the business center is occupied by general office uses. Table
1 presents the weekday trip generation with the proposed development and existing buildings
trip generation numbers included for comparison.

Total Site Trips 396 396 41 36 38 45
It can be seen in Table 1 that the forecast trip generation for the proposed residential building
is higher than what would be expected for the rest of the site over the course of a weekday. In
both peak hour scenarios, the peak hour volumes for the new residential development are
forecast to be less than 45 trips. ITE's Transportation Impact Analyses for Site Development
report recommends a detailed traffic impact study be done for developments generating 100
Spack Solutions 3 of 5 Monticello Residential
Trip & Parking Generation Assessment
or more new trips in a peak hour. That is the threshold where development traffic may
adversely impact the transportation system and intersection operations should be analyzed.
Based on this threshold and the results shown in Table 1, a full study would not be needed.
Intersection Impact Analysis
To see the impact of site trips on surrounding intersections, vehicles need to be distributed
from the development throughout the roadway network. A trip distribution pattern for trips
going to/from the proposed residential development was developed based on location and
access to the surrounding region. That pattern is:
• 20% of the generated traffic to/from the north on MN-25
• 5% of the generated traffic to/from the west on School Boulevard
• 15% of the generated traffic to/from the south on MN-25
• 10% of the generated traffic to/from the south on Edmonson Avenue
• 40% of the generated traffic to/from the east on School Boulevard
• 5% of the generated traffic to/from the north on Edmonson Avenue
• 5% of the generated traffic to/from the north on Cedar Street
Using the trip generation and trip distribution, new trips for the residential development were
routed through the following intersections:
• School Boulevard & MN-25
• School Boulevard & Cedar Street
• School Boulevard & Edmonson Avenue
The new site trips from the residential development are shown in Figure 1.

As seen in Figure 1, the highest hourly volume increase for any intersection movement due to
the new site traffic is 10 vehicles making eastbound and westbound through movements at the
School Boulevard intersections with Cedar Street and Edmonson Avenue. That equates to an
increase of approximately one vehicle every six minutes for those movement. Based on these
volumes, none of the surrounding intersections are anticipated to be significantly impacted by
site traffic.

Parking Generation
The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) has put together a document, ITE Parking
Generation, 5t" Edition, that compiled parking demand data from different land uses. Using that
data, weekday peak period parking demands were calculated for each land use of this
development. Those peak period parking demands are summarized in Table 2 along with the
proposed parking supply.

As shown in Table 2, the peak period parking demand for each portion of the site, as well as
the entire site, is forecast to be within the proposed parking supply for the site suggesting the
proposed parking supply for the site will be sufficient.

Dear Mr. Leonard:
o We have reviewed the traffic memo dated November 18, 2019 as prepared by Spack Solutions,
" preliminary and final plat dated November 15, 2019, preliminary civil plans and stormwater
z management plan dated December 12, 2019, as prepared by CivilSite Group and offer the
m following comments:
�
�
Traffic Memo
� 1. The applicant has provided an estimate of the average daily traffic and peak hour traffic
� generated from the entire site as developed. The existing access from School Boulevard
� will be utilized. It appears that the existing turn lane configurations on School Blvd have
� adequate capacity to accommodate the projected volumes from the proposed site. The
City is reviewing intersection controls along the School Boulevard corridor to determine if
`° and when any modifications are needed. Future special assessments may apply to the
�
� property for future improvements.

Preliminary and Final Plat
2. Monticello Business Center 7th Addition already exists as the Aldi site, therefore the plat
name will need to be renamed.
3. The proposed site is currently platted as Outlot A, Monticello Business Center 6th Addition
plat, which includes a blanket drainage and utility easement over the Outlot. The
easements will need to be vacated with required easements for the utilities dedicated on
the final plat.
4. The drainage and utility easements shown on the plat needs to be revised to remove the
easement where the courtyard is located, as that area is no longer being used as an
infiltration basin.
5. The applicant shall enter into a stormwater maintenance agreement with the City to

Preliminary Civil Plans
Site Plan
6. The applicant should consider creating a separate drive aisle to the proposed apartment
building in lieu of accessing the building through the existing parking lots. See planning
report.
7. A sidewalk should extend from the proposed apartment building to the existing pathway
along School Blvd.
8. Show handicap parking stalls compliant with ADA regulations.
9. The civil and architectural site plans should be consistent. The elevations and grades are
not the same between the plans.
Utilitv Plan
10. The watermain should be looped within site as identified in the original preliminary plat or
the applicant shall provide documentation that there is adequate pressure and fire flow to
serve the site.
11. A wet-tap connection to the existing watermain does not appear to be needed for the
watermain extension. The existing hydrant is being removed, therefore a gate valve
should be installed and the watermain extended.
12. Label the connections needed, gate valve and watermain service size and length of water
service.
13. Identify proposed fire hydrant locations. The plans identify that existing hydrants will be
salvaged and reinstalled, but do not show the new hydrant locations.
14. The building department will then review the proposed fire hydrant location(s) and
emergency vehicle access/circulation. A turning radius template drawing for the ladder
truck shall be provided.
15. Identify irrigation stub locations and submit an irrigation plan to the building department
with the building permit.
16. Confirm that the 8-inch sanitary sewer size is adequate per Ten State Standards.
17. A note should be added to the plans that the City will not be responsible for any
additional costs incurred that is associated with variations in the utility as-built elevations.
These elevations shall be verified in the field prior to construction
Gradinq Plan
18. Label the % grade for the parking lot.
19. Show the rim and invert elevations of the storm sewer.

20. Riprap shall be grouted per City general specifications.
21. Verify that the 959.50 EOF elevation is accurate as the surrounding contour elevations
appear higher to be higher. Landscaping will need to be modified/removed to not block
the EOF route.
22. Provide trench drain design and information on the storm sewer pumping system. The
pumping system will need to comply with the Building Code.
23. Confirm all roof drainage is being directed to the infiltration basin.
24. Provide documentation that retaining walls greaterthan 4.0 feet in height are certified by
a professional engineer and a building permit has been acquired. A fence or railing is
required along the top of the wall.
25. The City's Wellhead Protection Plan identifies this site within the "low vulnerability"
DWSMA, but it is outside of the Emergency Response Area (ERA), therefore infiltration is
allowed. Residential uses typically do not pose a risk of potential contaminants and will
be reviewed at the time of proposed development submittal.
26. An NPDES/SDS Construction Storm Water General Permit (CSWGP) shall be provided
with the grading permit or with the building permit application for review, prior to
construction commencing.
27. Verify landscaping on the west side of building will not block the drainage swale.
Stormwater Management Plan
28. Provide modeling calculations for the 10-day snowmelt (7.2") event.
29. Provide soil borings to confirm soil type, infiltration rates, and groundwater elevation.
Confirm that there is a 3-foot separation between the bottom of the infiltration areas and
the groundwater elevation.
30. Pretreatment for runoff to infiltration basin is required. A 4-foot sump manhole is required
at the last structure (CBMH 22) before entering the infiltration basin.
31. According to the City's design guidelines, the maximum size slope for the infiltration basin
should be 4:1, see Detail 4 on page C5.1.
32. Provide a detail for outlet control structure for pond.
33. Provide rational method calculations confirming adequacy of the storm sewer design for
the 10-year storm event including the trench drain design.
Water Qualitv and Volume Reduction
34. Applicant is required to infiltrate 1.1" over the net new impervious area.
Reauired Infiltration Amount 10.665 cf
Proposed Infiltration Amount I 11,687 cf
35. The infiltration ponding depth proposed is from elevation 956.5 to 958.3 or 1.8 ft. An
infiltration rate of 0.45 in/hr has been assumed in the HydroCAD model. In a 48 hr period,
the amount of drawdown equates to 1.8-feet given the infiltration rate of 0.45 in/hr. As
shown, the basins will drawdown within a 48-hour period. Geotechnical borings need to
Kjellberg Firm Ground Apartments
December 20, 2019
Page 4
be submitted to confirm soil type, infiltration rates, and groundwater elevation. Confirm
that there is a 3-foot separation between the bottom of the infiltration areas and the
groundwater elevation.
Rate Control
36. The site will utilize the regional basin for rate control. The regional basin assumed that
this site would have a curve number of 72, the actual curve number for this development
is 83. Therefore, the site has provided rate control for the difference between curve
number 72 and 83. The difference was determined by the applicant as a 100-yr rate of
4,413 cf/acre. Applying this to the entire site identifies that 19,409 cf of storage is
required for rate control on this site. This storage volume is met in the infiltration basin.
The rate control requirement has been met with the proposed pond and the regional
pond.
Freeboard
37. Given the low opening forthe garage is a 960.33 the EOF should be identified as 1.5'
below that elevation at 958.83.
38. The FFE of 971.00 is more than the required 2 feet above the HWL of 959.78, however
the underground parking area has an opening elevation of 960.33 which does not meet
freeboard requirements of 2-feet above the HWL. Consider installing a berm to mitigate
this. If this cannot be mitigated, the development agreement will include language
indemnifying the City from any damages arising from the design and construction of the
site and structure and that the property owner shall be responsible for any and all
flooding and associated property damage to the structure, appurtenances and tenants'
property for not meeting the freeboard requirement.
Please have the applicant provide a written response addressing the comments above. Please
give me a call at 612-360-1304 if you have any questions or comments regarding this letter.
Sincerely,
WSB

Ron,
I have the following comments:
1. Must have access within 300 feet of any exterior wall. I would like this to be similar to the senior high rise where
the trail around back would support the weight of our ladder.
2. Hydrants every 300 feet
3. Must have VHF/800mhz radio coverage tested and be within acceptable limits or install amplification.
4. FDC be accessible with no parking in front of it.
