you want to. Open Mic and Potluck happens every second Saturday of the month.
Contact Ben Lundquist at benjilundquistggmail.com if you would like to perform
or have any questions.
• Glow Workshops at MontiArts on Mondays from 5-8 p.m. (all materials provided).
Anyone and everyone can make a glow piece of art to walk in the parade. The
MonticellGlo Parade will be held on Saturday, February 29th at 7 p.m. The parade
will begin at the Monticello Community Center and will end at West Bridge Park.
Bonfire, food, singalong and party at the park following the parade.
• MontiArts is located at 349 West Broadway. All questions can be emailed to:
artsgci.monticello.mn.us.
• Seeger noted that the core art group is was very inspired by the motivation of the
PARC to change the board name to include "Arts". They are now looking to branch
out to not only include downtown for MontiArts but also to encompass art to all
parks and trails in Monticello.
7. MCC Update.
Sara Cahill shared the MCC Update for January (see attached). The main project upcoming
in 2020 will be replacing the aging roof as it has begun leaking. Staff is working with the
City Engineer on putting together an RFP for the roof repairs.
Cahill noted that the Music on the Mississippi sponsorships are slow to come in. The goal
is to have four concerts this summer but that is dependent upon the number of sponsorships
received.
Cahill said the MCC receives a $3 reimbursement for the Silver Sneakers program so she's
requesting help to get the word out for people to sign in when walking on the track so the
MCC can get that reimbursement to put back into the community center.
Programming updates include:
• February -March: Potential adult pickleball league one evening/week (gymnasium)
• March 8: Men's spring hockey league begins
• March 15: Father Daughter Dance (this is a formal event in the Mississippi Room)
• April 3: Annual Easter Egg Dive (participants need to pre -register)
• May 9: Annual Pet Expo (in the gymnasium)

8. Consideration to review for recommendation park dedication requirements
for the proposed Monticello Business Center 8` addition residential
subdivision. (AS)
Angela Schumann said the PARC is asked to consider a formal recommendation related to
park dedication requirements for Monticello Business Center 81h Addition, a 92 -unit multi-
family residential plat proposed by Kjellberg Inc. MBC 8th is a subdivision plat which is
proposed to include residential land development. Under state statute, 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 proposed plat is approximately 3.512 acres developable and requires a comprehensive
plan amendment, rezoning, preliminary plat and planned unit development. Only 2.5 acres
of the site is being platted as residential, with the balance of Outlot A having been
previously developed as common parking area. The balance of the property will retain its
current PUD/134 (Regional Business) commercial zoning and includes existing office and
veterinary service buildings.
The subject site is located along School Boulevard. In concept analysis of the developer's
proposal, the city officials expressed support for the conversion, especially given the
transitional location between existing commercial and multi -family townhome
development.
The proposed residential portion of the plat is 2.5 acres. An 11% land dedication
requirement would require a total land dedication area of .28 acres or 12,030 square feet.
The cash dedication would be based upon the value of the raw land at the time of final plat
and based on the 2019 taxable county market value at $323,700. The per square foot value
is $2.95 and, therefore, the required cash in lieu park dedication equivalent is
approximately $35,487.88.
Although staff would recommend a cash dedication given the density, size and location of
the project, pedestrian connections to this site will be critical. Access via pathway to
parkland at Pioneer Park (.5 miles by sidewalk) and Featherstone Park (.3 traversed and .8
by pathway), as well as the future park/water feature are being contemplated to the north)
will be important considerations for a successful residential environment. The developer is
proposing a sidewalk connection from the residential lot to School Boulevard along the
westerly commercial building. The developer is also proposing a private green space
courtyard central to the development on the south portion of the project.

9. General Park Updates.
a. Bertram Athletic Complex: About 400 large boulders were hauled out to the athletic
park, and next week Parks staff will begin moving the boulders according to the
landscape plan to give definition between parking and driving lanes and the prairie
grass area.
b. MontiView Mountain Bike Race: Saturday, February 15th, race to begin at Noon
with registration opening at 10:30 a.m. DirtWirx volunteers will run the race and
all funds raised will go back into the park for future events and to pay for prizes,
etc. They will talk to the Methodist Church about using their back parking lot for
overflow parking on race day.

REGIONAL COMMERCIAL (RC)
The Regional Commercial designation includes large-scale commercial uses serving a regional market, typically on large sites along the Interstate or major arterials roadways such
as State Highway 25. Retail uses within this category usually have large floor areas and high sales volumes and maybe considered shopping "destinations" by consumers from the
region. Uses such as furniture and electronic stores, farm supply, home improvement stores, department stores, "big box" retailers, hotels and restaurants are included. Smaller
and more local -sewing retail uses, and personal services are generally not appropriate but could be allowed if complementary to a regional use.

LAND USE, GROWTH AND ORDERLY ANNEXATION
DEVELOPMENT RESERVE (DR)
The Development Reserve land use designation applies to properties located in the Monticello Orderly Annexation Area (MOAA) only. This designation is intended as a reserve
designation for properties that may be converted to residential or other uses in the future. Current permitted uses include agriculture, residential uses at a density of one unit per
lot of record, and uses that exist at the time of Comprehensive Plan adoption. The intent of the Development Reserve is to preserve land for future development, including land for
transportation and utility corridors needed to serve future development. Future changes to the Development Reserve would require a Comprehensive Plan Amendment.

OPEN SPACE AND RESOURCE CONSERVATION (OSRC)
The Open Space and Resource Conservation designation includes open space lands located within the City and Orderly Annexation Area and owned by public or quasi -public
agencies. Open spaces with this designation include regional parks such as Bertram Chain of Lakes, cemeteries, and other lands containing greenways, wetlands, waterways,
woodlands and sensitive habitat. This designation also includes transmission line rights-of-way and other County and Townships easements. The Open Space and Resource
Conservation lands will remain as permanent open space through the time horizon of this Comprehensive Plan. A limited number of recreational and regional park improvements
may be appropriate. However, the focus in most areas is on the preservation of natural open space, passive recreation and restoration and enhancement of native habitat.

The Parks and Recreation designation includes parks owned and managed by the City of Monticello including active recreation areas and other recreation facilities. Typical uses
include athletic fields, playgrounds, trails, tennis courts, golf courses and recreation centers. The appropriate uses in any given park are based on the park's classification and
