5. The proposed cross access and shared parking area is not anticipated to negatively
impact surrounding commercial properties, and instead may encourage future
commercial development in Outlot A to the east of the ALDI site.
6. Approval of the CUP for cross access and shared parking will not result in the need for
additional road or utility infrastructure and should not otherwise negatively impact the
health or safety of the community.
7. Parking is found to be adequate based on the available off-street parking on the
property.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Planning Commission of the City of Monticello,
Minnesota, that the Planning Commission hereby recommends to the City Council that the
proposed Conditional Use Permit be approved, subject to the conditions of Exhibit Z of the staff
report, as follows:

of Wright County.
2. The applicant submits a revised photometric plan as a part of building permit
application, verifying compliance with lighting standards.
