Public Hearing A. Public Hearing—Consideration of Amendment to the Nuss Truck& Equipment Planned Unit Development for amendment to buffer yard landscaping Applicant: Nuss Truck and Equipment (Phil Watkins) Steve Grittman introduced the staff report the land use application. Grittman noted that the original Planned Unit Development for the site was approved late last year with a condition that the applicants enhance their landscaping plan to meet the buffer yard requirement along the east boundary of the property. Grittman noted that the east boundary adjoins a commercially zoned parcel. Planning Commission Minutes—May 4th, 2021 Page 11 5 Grittman provided a proposed site plan for the landscaping. Grittman noted that the proposal met the required shrub count, but that the applicants were asking for an amendment to the overstory tree count. Grittman provided a list of applicant's contentions to the buffer yard requirement as noted in the staff report. Staff recommended approval of the application but recommended moving the required trees to other areas on the property. Paul Konsor asked for clarification on the proposed use at the facility. Grittman noted that there are significant amounts of sales and display in addition to areas for service. Grittman explained that the buffer yard ordinance does not identify individual uses, but rather classes of uses. Grittman believed that the applicants are relying on similarity of the uses as part of rationale for the request. Eric Hagen asked if staff had a specific location recommendation of where the additional trees could go. Grittman recommended the additional plantings in the western island area. There may also be room along the interstate or Chelsea Road area, however it was noted the importance of visibility of the site. Hagen clarified that staff's recommendation was the addition of eleven trees. Grittman confirmed but is depended on how large they are at time of planting. Paul Konsor opened the public hearing. Phil Watkins, Nuss Truck & Equipment/applicant, explained that in previous discussions and submitted application materials, they requested to have the same vehicle sales and display users have, including the Ryan Motors parcel nearby. Watkins noted that they did not understand how many additional trees would be required with the buffer yard ordinance prior to PUD approval. Watkins noted how they intended to use the site and noted that their use is similar to a vehicle sales facility. Watkins noted the concern with additional overstory trees on the lot. He also explained that requiring Ryan Motors to also plant a buffer yard with future development was unfair as the property was zoned commercial. Watkins noted that they have added a lot more landscaping than the regular buffer has. Eric Hagen asked if they have a dealership near Duluth. Watkins confirmed. Hagen asked if it would look similar to that facility. Watkins confirmed that it would be almost the same. Charlotte Gabler noted the importance of landscaping and balancing it with Planning Commission Minutes—May 4th, 2021 Page 2 1 5 the development. Watkins added the importance to their business to also have a very visually appeasing site. Konsor noted initial concern with having storage containers on the eastern edge of the site and neighbors' concerns. Watkins noted they are not in the business to have storage containers on their site. They plan to store everything (besides equipment/vehicles) inside their facility. Bob Ryan, owner of Ryan Motors, he noted concern with the buffer requirement. He stated that trees wreak havoc on paint and recommended removal of trees along that shared property line. Ryan also noted concern with the water runoff between the two properties. He wanted to have guarantees that there would not be water runoff areas on either property, especially at the time that Ryan wants to develop the remaining five-acre parcel. Angela Schumann explained that the Nuss Truck Addition has received preliminary and final plat approval. With preliminary plat approval, the applicant is required to provide grading, drainage, and erosion control, and stormwater pollution and prevention plans. The City Engineers have evaluated those and provided Nuss with detailed comments on what the requirements are to meet grading, drainage, and erosion control. They will continue to monitor those. It was her understanding, that they have spoken with Mr. Ryan, understand the concerns, and will continue to address those both as Nuss continues to develop and when Ryan Auto develops on their site. Ryan added that the buffer yard landscaping is not something that they would want to entertain, and they do not want to incur any additional expense from the requirement. Hearing no further comments, the public hearing was closed. Schumann noted no written comment was received. ALISON ZIMPFER MOVED TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. PC 2021-015 FOR APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE NUSS TRUCK & EQUIPMENT PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, WITHOUT ANY CONDITIONS. ERIC HAGEN SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED, 3-0. Angela Schumann requested that the Planning Commission rescind their motion to only strike condition 1 of the staff recommendation. The remaining conditions would provide proof, if the City Council adopts the amendment to PUD, of what was approved. ALISON ZIMPFER RESCINDED HER MOTION. PAUL KONSOR SECONDED THE MOTION.

Regular Agenda A. Consideration of a request for one year extension of a variance to required 10' side yard setback in the Mississippi Wild Scenic Recreational River District in the R-1 (Single-Family Residence) District Applicant: Sandra K. Lichty Angela Schumann provided a brief overview of the original land use application approval. The Lichty's have requested a one-year extension to allow them to continue working through pricing for the various components of the garage modification and other home improvements. Staff supports the extension of the approval. PAUL KONSOR MOVED TO APPROVE A ONE-YEAR EXTENSION (MAY 4, 2022) FOR THE VARIANCE OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY TO ALLOW ENCROACHMENT INTO THE 10-FOOT SIDE YARD SETBACK AS APPROVED ON JUNE 2ND, 2020.

Subsection (E) R-1: Single FamilyResidence District for Haven Ridge 2111 Addition Applicant: Capstone Homes Angela Schumann explained that Capstone Homes has submitted an appeal to allow for some variation in Haven Ridge 2nd Addition, consisting of 47 single- family lots. Capstone Home's appeal is essentially to allow for variation consistent with the approval by Planning Commission for Haven Ridge 1" Addition. A summary table was provided in the staff report, with staff recommending approval of the appeal. Planning Commission Minutes—May 4th, 2021 Page 4 1 5 Paul Konsor asked if the table was part of the Exhibit Z comments. Schumann stated that if the Planning Commission would like to include the table as an addendum that would provide the applicant with clarity. There was consensus by the members that it would be helpful to include the table as an addendum. PAUL KONSOR MOVED TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO.

Public Hearing—Consideration of a Preliminary Plat and Final Plat for Deephaven 2nd Addition, and a Conditional Use Permit for cross-access with adjoining commercial property. Applicant: Deephaven Development LLC/Mark Buchholz Prepared by: Northwest Meeting Date: Council Date (pending Associated Consultants (NAC) 06/01/21 Commission action): 06/28/21 Additional Analysis by: Community Development Director, Chief Building and Zoning Official, Community & Economic Development Coordinator, Project Engineer, Fire Marshal A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND Property: Legal Description: Outlot B, Deephaven (current)Lot 1, Block 1 Deephaven Second Addition (proposed) PI D: 155-258-000020 Planning Case Number: 2021-019 Request(s): Subdivision and Platting of one lot from a larger Outlot Deadline for Decision: August 27, 2021 (120-day deadline) Land Use Designation: Commercial and Residential Flex Zoning Designation: B-4, Regional Commercial The purpose of the "B-4" Regional Business district is to provide for the establishment of commercial and service activities which draw from and serve customers from the entire community or region. Overlays/Environmental Regulations Applicable: Freeway Bonus Sign Overlay District Current Site Uses: Vacant Surrounding Land Uses: North: Vacant Commercial East: Multi-Family Residential (under construction) South: Vacant (City property) 1 Planning Commission Agenda—06/01/21 West: Commercial Retail Project Description: The applicants seek to plat the subject property to create a building parcel for a proposed counseling Clinic facility, a permitted use in the B-4 Zoning District. ANALYSIS: Lot Size. The proposed parcel is being platted from a larger outlot of nearly 8 acres which comprises the commercial portion of the Deephaven project. The outlot extends along the Chelsea Road and Cedar Street frontage and lies north and west of the multi- family residential portion, currently under development. The proposed lot consists of just under one acre (38,958 square feet), with 143 feet of frontage on Cedar Street. In the B-4 zoning district, lots have no minimum width or square footage standards. Instead, lots are allowed to be created that meet the specific needs of the proposed user, providing adequate support facilities can be provided, such as parking, green and pedestrian spaces, and other ancillary improvements. Similarly, there are no specific setback requirements for the principal building. Driveways and parking areas a required to meet the six foot setback requirements. However, the City prefers that such driveways remain out of required easement areas and avoid conflicts with utilities. In this case, the southerly driveway proposal on the concept site plan could interfere with a stormwater overflow route. As such, the City's Engineering Department is working with the applicant to shift the driveway to the north, which will result in shifting the proposed northerly property line a small distance — expected to be approximately 3 feet north of the line shown on the proposed Plat. This change will not impact the Plat in any other way. Site and Building Data. Upon plat approval, the applicants propose to construct a counseling clinic on the new parcel. That use is a permitted use in the B-4 District, with the requirements that the use and its ancillary improvements meet the performance standard requirements of the district. The draft site plan appears to show that consistency, with some items noted by staff for adjustments. Those issues are not subject to review as a part of the Plat, provided that the platted lots are otherwise capable of accommodating reasonable conforming development. The proposed lot should meet that standard, with the adjustments noted above. 2 Planning Commission Agenda—06/01/21 Parks and Open Space, Pedestrian Facilities. Due to the location of the property in the Chelsea Common Small Area Plan study area, staff has reviewed the proposed lot and site plan for compatibility with the ongoing planning activities on and around the site. In this case, the original Deephaven project was approved with the condition that the applicants would continue to work with the City as they developed their remaining land, and as the City continued to create the Small Area Plan layouts and policies. One of the implementation aspects of that condition was the creation of a temporary "blanket easement" for open space over the subject Outlot B, refining the need for additional public improvements as development and plans proceeded. The initial planning established a plaza space at the corner of Chelsea and Cedar (platted as part of the original Deephaven Plat) and showed a pedestrian connection through the Commercial and Residential portions of Deephaven to the public spaces around the proposed lake amenity. As the Chelsea Commons plan has evolved, staff is proposing that the pedestrian connection extend from the plaza to the boundary line between the residential and commercial portions of the Deephaven project. A conceptual illustration of that linkage is shown below: Gateway Plaza _ � I edes . Major A« a Gatewa. 42 , ,' ommom-• Melsea To best facilitate the connection, and work with the proposed subdivision, planning staff would suggest that the blanket easement on this portion of the property be vacated, in exchange for a 30 foot corridor at the rear of the property to accommodate this portion 3 Planning Commission Agenda—06/01/21 of the Chelsea Commons Gateway pedestrian linkages. The applicants have noted that the rear portion of the proposed counseling center property is not proposed for further development. As a further part of this accommodation, the City would no longer be looking for the more intrusive diagonal alignment through the commercial areas and would work with Deephaven on the best alignment and connection through the residential area for the public pathway connection. Conditional Use Permit for Cross Access. Staff published a notice for a potential Conditional Use Permit for cross access between this facility and future development to the north. The applicant's site plan does not anticipate cross access as now designed. While planning staff would encourage the applicants to design their parking lot to accommodate future cross access with commercial land to the north, it would appear that adequate street access to other commercial development along Cedar could be accomplished without need to utilize internal private cross access agreements. As such, an approval of CUP is provided within this review in such case that the applicant chooses to amend their plan, although not required. Apart from these items, there are few other planning aspects to the proposed plat. The majority of the plat impacts relate to engineering items which are covered in the Engineer's report dated May 27t", 2021. Final Plat. A final plat consistent with the preliminary plat has been provided. Subject to the City Engineer's comments including those related to drainage and utilities and easements, staff find the proposed final plat to be consistent with ordinance requirements. Final plats are subject to Council review and decision consistent with the preliminary plat. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS Decision 1: Consideration of a Preliminary Plat for Deephaven 2 (Second Addition) creating one buildable parcel and an Outlot for future development. 1. Motion to adopt Resolution No. PC-2021- 017, recommending approval of the Preliminary Plat, subject to the conditions in the Exhibit Z of this report, and based on the findings therein. 2. Motion to deny the adoption of Resolution No. PC-2021-017. With a motion to recommend denial, the Planning Commission should state its findings for the record following public hearing. 4 Planning Commission Agenda—06/01/21 3. Motion to table action on Resolution No. Pc-2021-017, subject to additional information from the applicant and/or staff. Decision 2: Consideration of a Conditional Use Permit for cross access with future commercial development to the north. 1. Motion to adopt Resolution No. PC-2021-018, recommending approval of the Conditional Use Permit for cross access, subject to the applicable conditions of Exhibit Z of this report, and based on the findings therein. 2. Motion to deny the adoption of Resolution No. PC-2021-018. With a motion to recommend denial, the Planning Commission should state its findings for the record following public hearing. 3. Motion to table action on Resolution No. PC-2021-018, subject to additional information from the applicant and/or staff. C. STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION Staff recommends Alternative 1 for both Preliminary Plat and Conditional Use Permit, with the conditions in Exhibit Z. As noted in this report, the use and lot are consistent with the general requirements of the zoning district, the primary standard for consideration of a newly platted subdivision. With regard to the plat, the Exhibit Z conditions call out the anticipated swap of pedestrian easement considerations, removing the interest in a public walking trail through the adjoining residential area, removing the blanket easement area on the proposed Lot 1, and replacing that with a 30 foot easement over the rear portion of the property to accommodate the future Chelsea Commons Gateway path. With regard to the CUP, staff encourages the design of the site plan in such a way as to create interconnections with other commercial lands to the north, reducing the need to recirculate traffic out to the public streets when that it avoidable. However, no cross or joint access is proposed and therefore the CUP is unnecessary at this time. D. SUPPORTING DATA A. Resolution PC-2021-017, Preliminary Plat B.

The applicant z proposes to construct a one story office building with approximately 5,100 square feet and an m adjacent parking lot. The documents were reviewed for general conformance with the City of Monticello's general engineering and stormwater treatment standards. We offer the following comments regarding co these matters. 1. Streets and utilities shall be designed in accordance with the applicable City Subdivision Ordinances and the City's General Specifications and Standard Details Plates for Street and Utility Construction. a 2. The drainage and utility easement adjacent to the rear property line shall be 12 feet wide. Shift the building north so that it is not within the existing easement. z 3. Provide additional ROW along Cedar Avenue to allow for 50 feet from centerline.

Consideration to approve a request for an amendment to Conditional Use Permit for accessory structure in an A-O (Agriculture/Open Space) District to accommodate an open,covered patio over existing outdoor entertainment space. Applicant: Monticello Country Club Inc. (NAC) Property: PID: 155-030-000010, 155-500-033300, 155-500- 034301, 155-500-101202, 155-500-101204, 155-500- 101205, 155-500-102101 Address: 1209 Golf Course Road Planning Case Number: 2020-08 A. REFERENCE & BACKGROUND Request(s): Conditional Use Permit Amendment to construct a building addition. Deadline for Decision: June 12, 2020 (incl. 60 day extension) Land Use Designation: Places to Recreate Zoning Designation: A-O Agricultural Open Space District The purpose of the "A-O" agricultural-open space district is to provide suitable areas of the City for the retention and utilization of open space and/or agricultural uses, prevent scattered non-farm uses from developing improperly, and to secure economy in government expenditures for public utilities and service. Overlays/Environmental Regulations Applicable: None Current Site Use: Golf Course Surrounding Land Uses: North: R-1 and R-2 Residential East: R-1 and R-2 Residential South: R-2 Residential West: I-94/Monticello Township (Residential) Project Description: The applicants proposed to construct a permanent canopy over an existing patio. The canopy will be constructed with wood, shingles, London stone block, and metal. As it will be attached to the existing clubhouse, it constitutes an expansion of the principal building. 1 City Council Agenda: 05/26/2020 Background: The Monticello County Club has applied for a conditional use permit amendment to allow for the construction of a 1,600 square foot canopy attached to the existing club house. By Code, the country club is a conditional use permit in the A/O district, therefore changes to the existing club house require the amendment of the existing conditional use permit. The site has been using a temporary canopy in the past to cover a patio area during events. The canopy was damaged in a storm in 2018 and was not replaced. The applicants are requesting the approval of a conditional use permit amendment to allow for the construction of a permanent canopy constructed of wood, shingles, stone, and metal. The area is used for events to provide shade and shelter. It should be noted that the hard surfacing will not increase as the project area is an existing patio. Conditional Use Permit amendment for an addition to an existing building. The zoning ordinance has specific requirements for country clubs, these requirements are listed below with staff comment: (a) The principal use, function, or activity is open, outdoor in character. Staff Comment: The canopy will be open on three sides, with the fourth side being attached to the existing club house. The project is compliant with this standard. The existing area has a white fence around it. This fence appears to be scheduled for removal as part of the project. (b) Not more than five (5) percent of the land area of the site be covered by buildings or structures. Staff Comment: The canopy addition will be over an existing patio area. Therefore,the project is not increasing the hard surfacing of the area. Based on aerial photography measurements, the current buildings and proposed expansion would represent roughly 0.5 percent coverage of the golf course property. (c) When abutting a residential use, the property shall be screened with at least an aesthetic buffer(Table 4-2,Buffer Type`B")in accordance with section 4.1(G) of this ordinance. Staff Comment: In review of the building plans and existing conditions, it appears that the site has an existing white fence that encloses the patio area. 2 City Council Agenda: 05/26/2020 The fence appears to be scheduled for removal for the new canopy construction. Staff recommends that a visual buffer be added either around the canopy area, or in the area of the residential use to the southeast of the site. Said plans shall be submitted for staff review. (d) The land area of the property containing such use or activity meets the minimum established for the districts. Staff Comment: This requirement is met. Parking. The applicant is not proposing any changes to the parking layout or number of stalls. The canopy is being installed over an existing patio area. No change to the parking needs of the site are anticipated. Landscaping. The area around the patio has existing landscaping that contains perennials and shrubs. The applicants are not proposing any changes to the existing landscaping at this time. As noted above,the applicants should replace the visual screen being lost as a result of the removal of an existing fence. Lighting. The plans do not indicate additional lighting. As a condition of approval, staff is recommending that any future lighting is reviewed by staff for compliance with the City's requirements for lighting. In this regard, it should be embedded within the structure so as to avoid spreading or glaring toward adjoining property. Signage. No new signage is shown as a part of the project. Any proposed signage should meet the requirements of the City's Sign regulation in Zoning Ordinance Section 4.5. Grading,Drainage, and Utilities. The structure will not increase the hard surfacing on the site as the area is an existing patio. Therefore, engineering review is likely limited for this application. Conditional Use Permit Requirements Section 2.4-(D)-(4)-(a) lists the requirements for conditional use permits in the City. These requirements must be met when considering a conditional use permit. (i) The conditional use will not substantially diminish or impair property values within the immediate vicinity of the subject property Staff Comment: The conditional use is expected to increase property values. The area was previously being covered by a temporary canopy structure. The permanent 3 City Council Agenda: 05/26/2020 structure is expected to aesthetically appropriate as the temporary structure will no longer be used. (ii) The conditional use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, or welfare of persons residing or working near the use Staff Comment: The canopy structure is expected to increase safety and comfort for individuals using the patio area. The structure is replacing a temporary structure that was damaged in 2018. Although the structure would have open side walls,the addition of the permanent roof would be expected to reduce overall sound emanating from the site. (iii) The conditional use will not impede the normal and orderly development of surrounding property for permitted uses predominant in the area Staff Comment: The area around the property is already developed. The canopy structure will not impede the development of the area. (iv) The conditional use will not pose an undue burden on public utilities or roads, and adequate sanitary facilities are provided Staff Comment: No burden is expected from this conditional use permit amendment. (v) The conditional use can provide adequate parking and loading spaces, and all storage on the site can be done in conformance with City code requirements Staff Comment: The conditional use is not expected to have an impact on the parking demand or storage on the site. (vi) The conditional use will not result in any nuisance including but not limited to odor, noise, or sight pollution Staff Comment: The canopy is not expected to change how the property is currently used, thus staff does not see this use becoming a nuisance. (vii) The conditional use will not unnecessarily impact natural features such as woodlands, wetlands, and shorelines; and all erosion will be properly controlled Staff Comment: The canopy will not increase the hard surface on the site since it is being constructed over an existing patio area. As a result, the canopy is not expected to impact natural features in the area. (viii) The conditional use will adhere to any applicable additional criteria outlined in Chapter 5 for the proposed use 4 City Council Agenda: 05/26/2020 Staff Comment: As noted in the about review, the applicant is compliant with this requirement. PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission reviewed this item during their regular meeting on May 5tn 2020. During the public hearing, the Commission heard from the applicant's representative, who explained that he would confirm the replacement of the fence or landscaping as required by the conditions. No other comments were made by the public. Following the hearing, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the amendment to conditional use permit. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS The Planning Commission unanimously recommends alternative I below. Decision 1. Conditional Use Permit Amendment for Building Addition. 1. Motion to approve a Conditional Use Permit Amendment for the Monticello Country Club, based on findings in Resolution No. PC 2020-013and on the conditions identified in Exhibit Z. 2. Motion to deny approval of the Conditional Use Permit Amendment for the Monticello Country Club, based on findings identified by the City Council. 3. Motion to table action,subject to additional information from applicant and/or staff. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends Alternative 1 approval of the Conditional Use Permit Amendment. As noted, the conditional use permit is consistent with the existing site use, and is unlikely to raise any issues with the land uses in the area. Further, the permanent canopy replaces a temporary one, which will improve property values, ascetics, and safety at this site. In addition, there are expected engineering impacts with the application as the hard surfacing is not increasing. D. SUPPORTING DATA A. Resolution 2020-013 B. Aerial Image C. Applicant Narrative D.

MONTICELLO PLANNING COMMISSION By: Sam Murdoff, Chair ATTEST: Angela Schumann, Community Development Director 2 Golf Course . . _. e, _ 1 00 Owl IP r 1 0412912018 Monticello Country Club Pavilion The Monticello Country Club (MCC) has a concrete patio attached to the East side of the clubhouse (banquet room). MCC covered the patio with a vinyl tent during the golf season for four years. The tent was destroyed by a storm in 2018, and MCC received insurance compensation. A Monticello based roofing contractor, and member of MCC, volunteered to provide the labor for construction. The insurance settlement and volunteer labor make the project affordable for MCC. The pavilion will be used for outdoor seating. It will be attached to the banquet room which seats up to 200 people. The banquet room is an important part of MCC's business plan. Golf fund raisers (tournaments) are a weekly occurrence at MCC, and a vital revenue source. Additionally, weddings and other group events are held in the banquet room. Some wedding ceremonies have been held on the patio. The Pavilion will provide covered seating to protect from excess sun and rain. It will be a visual improvement over the temporary tent that covered the patio. 0 u - � U O N � O21i}13321��2131�10�Q= c x O` p N 4 O N J a` V O +-j Q+i� N E O O can o p 0 Ln `U r CN U' 0 W � (D � J O z � _ x U U � a +- c O aA ui p L U z p Z U O O M w �N Ln J - fNBeacon Wright County, MN Overview v. 4 Legend Roads CSAHCL 155500102101 — CTYCL - MUNICL PRIVATECL � •;� TWPCL Highways Interstate State Hwy US Hwy s 15506S001'090 City/iownshipLimits c #3• .:g?, .' t -'Farr.:.u'.,,. `;, 'ti'k 0 t ' ] Parcels 60k 1 Parcel ID 155500102101 Alternate ID n/a Owner Address MONTICELLO COUNTRY CLUB Sec/Twp/Rng 10-121-025 Class 247-QUALIFY GOLF COURSES PO BOX576 Property Address 1209 GOLF CO URSE RD Acreage 33.24 MONTICELLO,MN 55362 MONTICELLO District 1101 CITY OF MONTICELLO 882 H Brief Tax Description Sect-10Twp-121Range-025UNPLATTED LAND MONTIC ELLO 133.24 AC ALL THAT PRT OF N 1-2 OF NW LYING NELY OF R-W LINE OF INTERS HY 94 EXC TR DES 5 333 FT OF E 300 FT OF NE OF NW (Note:Not to be used on legal documents) Date created:2/21/2020 Last Data Uploaded:2/21/2020 4A7:20 AM Developed by"Schneider 3EO S PAT I AL \ \ \ . § ) § 2 IL In 2 ( . §; iLft& § ° ki & �& �\ ■j k) - �° ,� ( 2 \ t° . 2 ) / / - - - - - - - - - - - --- 2 # ; > \ ! k - ) ■ ; � j } K 'U - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - m - - - - - - - - - - - Y- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - O ffi u� N U F F= �Q w� w a, m wW xq m o FN a N 0 d z a 4 s q 4 a IT �I 5 � u m z � U � a 0 0 rc 4 T� 4 a a u $u a m 3 1K FO a 1 K w o 69- »u / U u w 3W11(1O IN NOIlIA7d N3N // w o m3NI110O 40ON NOI11Atld OSM —— — — � —-- - s awvloaoiwslx�r/£-t11� / � v o A,LI m .O,LI �m q Zw U❑li % Z W UZ /\/�J Q n,,. z'XUp W OQ3� j cO�4�Z aUU°,A OC 00 z UD- a�aa a RID "qua � Amso o d z a F u� 1 '8 O // } O ,0.5.RA / Qin Z d 3 z I cl N m ♦- 3 Em}yr�� m m / wgj�uO my up �i° 3mz a O 4 � M wW� u�Oq uQlz O!i moq ma0a Sm4o �m3o / ;Sa3o w .O,l .O,f / _ 9Wtl39 WV-IOa71W„61x,y/£-1 @ ___ SWtl39 Yloa71W W,fr/x £1 @__ - —_—_—_—_—_——_—_—_—_.—_ —_—_—_ _ 318Vo/.11,,H------------_— - JOOM NOI11Atld 013W313aONO7 VNILSPG dO 3N11 — —MWO WFIIAMMN �m 3ON3i AOtlAlad � �w a zzryU 5 ° X AN XO Q a m dWtla.A"laNVH 7NI1sIX3 - In, 04 Q o= O° a� wL,L z� Ou a a O F U F E w O Z O (0 GL Z U w m Ow QQ ID ' w w p Z iLii m F U z u N W E WIL 'D W z �L l U p Q _X ZQ X X O i+) w ......................

Mayor Stumpf expressed concern that he would like to see the artwork before it is placed on the city buildings. Councilmember Hilgart noted that the liquor store should not be included as one of the sites as she would be painting on brick which is harder to clean or paint over. Sue Seeger, Arts Consultant, addressed the City Council. Ms. Seeger noted that artists of this nature don't typically have what they are doing drawn up in advance to view. In addition, the artwork completed for city to date has been approved by concept,not specific artwork. The murals are a work in progress. The artist has been vetted and goes through lengthy process to be selected. The concept for this project are mini-murals that display normal people in everyday life activities. Councilmembers commented on their trust of the proposed artwork. Councilmember Gabler moved approval of five sites proposed excluding the liquor store building and if a sixth site is proposed bring that site back to City Council Minutes—May 26, 2020 Page 3 14 Council. Councilmember Fair seconded the motion. Motion carried 4-1; Mayor Stumpf voted against for reason listed above. C. Consideration of conducting the Riverfest fireworks show for 2020 as originally scheduled on July 10, 2020 Mayor Stumpf noted that since the agenda item was written there were changes made and that there is the opportunity for the city to combine fireworks with the school graduation committee. The question is whether to move ahead with the fireworks and to select a location, because the school property is not an option. According to the MN Department of Health, fireworks can take place if people remain at their cars and social distance. There was consensus of the council to move forward and there was support for holding the two events together. Mayor Stumpf moved to table the item and refer back to staff to proceed with fireworks to discuss location options and whether to combine with the graduation party. Councilmember Fair seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. 5. Add-On Item• • Councilmember Gabler questioned the status of Haven Ridge. Angela Schumann responded that the project is moving forward this year. They have not closed on the property but hope to in the next 3-4 weeks. • City Administrator Jeff O'Neill announced his retirement date of March 1, 2021. 5.

Below is an overview of the plan structure, including the approved regional vision, values, and strategies that you developed with input from community members. At your April 29 workshop, you reviewed and provided direction on draft actions (projects, policies, or programs). to advance the strategies; this document reflects those changes. This information is for your reference during the May 27 workshop, so please skim this information beforehand. We will have copies for people attending in person. If you are joining virtually, please print a copy for yourself. Contents 1. Framework 2030 Structure 2. Elevated Action Recommendations 1 . FRAMEWORK 2030 STRUCTURE The Framework 2030 plan includes a broad vision for the future of the region and twelve supportive strategies to move the communities forward. These statements were derived through community input and refinement. VISION The vision is the broadest expression of the region's aspirations for the future derived through comments and ideas from the community it represents. The following vision statement was created from the input of stakeholders and the Partnership. We — the communities of the Central Mississippi River Regional Planning Partnership — are a strong and dynamic region. We are made prosperous through our network of assets and proactive leadership, made unique through our vital and connected places, and made home by our welcoming people and communities. STRATEGIES Strategy proposals represent a more specific commitment to regional action. The strategies respond to the vision and may address multiple values or have a crosscutting impact. This set was derived through stakeholder engagement in Round 1 and the research and analysis of the planning team. Land Use (p. 3) Economic Growth (p. 7) Interconnections (p. 10) Leverage the region's unique Expand on the quality and Create a clear and compelling parks and natural resources diversity of employment regional identity to advance opportunities collaborative work Promote life-cycle housing Increase the pool of skilled Enhance connections between labor in the region our communities Invest in placemaking Network the response to Share talent, time, and economic disruptions information Improve regional Continually address regional communication to better Measure impacts of action vulnerabilities and emerging support local land planning and locally and regionally opportunities management Action Recommendation Finalization and Priorities/Timing Discussion I Framework 2030 1 Page 2 of 9 2. ELEVATED ACTION RECOMMENDATIONS The following recommendations are the result of an extensive process of technical research, community input, and strong guidance from the Partnership. During the second round of public engagement, participants were asked to evaluate the draft strategies based on the prompts, "How might this strategy benefit your community?" and "What ideas do you have to successfully implement this strategy?" Their responses were integrated with the technical research and priorities of the Partnership into a list of 70 potential actions. The Partners then discussed this initial list and elevated priority actions as part of a workshop on April 29. Following this meeting, the planning team refined the proposals to reflect the feedback from the group. The result is a list of 28 action recommendations and their corresponding abridged descriptions. Please skim the actions before the workshop. Action Recommendation Finalization and Priorities/Timing Discussion I Framework 2030 1 Page 3 of 9 1 . Leverage the region's unique parks and natural resources Promote the expansion of bicycling and walking infrastructure throughout the region The region is rich in natural beauty and outdoor amenities that are increasingly connected through multi-use trails and paths. While trails exist throughout each of the communities, they are not all connected to one another in a larger, regional network. There is an opportunity to fully network the system and provide connections within and around communities. Develop a regional parks website While each local government operates its own parks system, community members and visitors often benefit from the assets located outside their particular place of residence. By creating a centralized website to share information about programming, places, and events, the Partnership could magnify the efforts of each community and establish a stronger regional identity based on its natural features Commission a regional trails and greenways map and plan The region is bisected by more than 60 miles of mixed-use trails. These are major assets for the region and can be better organized and shared.A comprehensive and dynamic regional greenways map would inventory and map key trails based on location, size, and amenities, etc. 2. Promote life-cycle housing Present an annual report and presentation on housing trends and development Up to, and accelerated through 2020, the communities of the region have experienced significant increases in housing costs and average sales price. With rising demand and dynamism in the market, a regular study and report on key housing trends would benefit the communities individually and the region as a whole. Create a regional housing market dashboard In a dynamic housing and regional housing market, up-to-date data and information is critical for policy development and decision making.Tracking this data over time will also give valuable insights and can inform future planning since housing is so closely connected to other topics like Employment, education, land use, transportation, infrastructure, and others. Facilitate community conversations around strategic growth areas The two county region can expect increased development pressure over the next decade.There is a need to engage communities in an ongoing discussion around key development corridors and nodes. This is a proactive measure that will ensure growth that occurs in the region enhances the quality of place, quality of life, and the quality of opportunity. Action Recommendation Finalization and Priorities/Timing Discussion I Framework 2030 1 Page 4 of 9 L21 Develop a regional housing strategy This strategy is a logical outgrowth of the meetings, collaboration, and data collection facilitated by the Partnership. It will reflect on changing demand, share ideas about how to respond to growth, and define the market area and various housing products. It may also address topics such as workforce housing, needs and opportunities post-pandemic, and housing incentive tools. 3. Invest in placemaking Host a regional placemaking committee Placemaking is a creative and proactive approach to connecting people with the public places they share. Responsibilities of the committee would include: inventory and seek grant funding for placemaking projects; support or sponsor community events; develop a regional public art plan; create a regional public art map; administer the micro-grant program; and more. Commission local public art in regional gateway and wayfinding signage Arts-based placemaking is an effective way to promote a sense of place in the communities as well as increase cultural diversity and civic engagement. Involving local artists also gives each community the opportunity to provide its signature on the region at large. It will be important that funded projects maintain a consistent visual relationship and display the regional brand. Launch a placemaking micro-grant program With oversight from the placemaking committee, the micro-grant program would invite non-government actors to apply for$500-$1000 grants to support small placemaking projects in their communities. Rather than a single, centralized, and large scale project, this program promotes neighborhood scale efforts all across the region. 4. Improve regional communication to better support local land planning and management Identify key regional corridors for coordinated planning Corridors in the region present an opportunity to collaborate on land use decisions, transportation considerations, and placemaking strategies.Although multi-jurisdictional planning is complex, it is also an effective way to build a collaborative spirit, facilitate smart growth, and promote positive economic outcomes. Develop a regional conceptual development strategy The aggregation of relevant existing plans in the region would help to identify points of friction and areas of redundancy, unnecessary competition, or gaps in planning. The communities of the partnership could then discuss how to address some of these findings in a regional strategy. Action Recommendation Finalization and Priorities/Timing Discussion I Framework 2030 1 Page 5 of 9 ECONOMIC GROWTH 1 . Expand on the quality and diversity of employment opportunities Facilitate expansion of high-speed internet access across the region Broadband internet is necessary to support business growth and will be essential to improving and increasing employment opportunities in the region. The Partnership can help the region expand the reach of broadband across the planning area by collecting and sharing key information on the expected roll-out of state and federal programs and by mapping focus areas or areas with limited or no high-speed coverage. Maintain a regional industrial land inventory A collaborative approach to industrial land marketing and management could mitigate vacancies and promote economic synergy among the Partnership communities. With an understanding of the different employment sectors in terms of their land, transportation, and service needs, the Partnership could identify the most strategic locations for new industrial clusters based on types of activity and create and share a regional map. 2. Increase the pool of skilled labor in the region Initiate discussions with higher-education institutions Increasing and strengthening the workforce requires strong relationships between communities and a wide variety of educational institutions. Building stronger connections between the secondary and post-secondary opportunities in the region can enhance opportunities for students and produce a stronger, more competitive workforce. In turn, this strategy could support and attract new employers and generally provide better opportunities for residents overall. Facilitate partnerships between businesses and schools The region is home to just over 14,000 primary jobs, but less than half are held by residents. The Partnership can leverage the connections of its members to convene conversations among major employers and secondary education. Through stronger connections between businesses and students, there is an opportunity to forge lasting partnerships that encourage students to continue working in the region beyond graduation. Action Recommendation Finalization and Priorities/Timing Discussion I Framework 2030 1 Page 6 of 9 3. Network the response to economic disruptions Commission a regional fiscal analysis of land use The fiscal productivity-or the net community benefit -varies across the region based on the land use. Understanding the net impact of costs and revenues on government finances can help decision-makers identify which types of land use to encourage and those to approach with caution. Beyond a point-in-time study, regularly tracking the net fiscal effects of land use could become a valuable tool for evaluating decisions made at a regional scale. Create and manage a regional commercial property vacancy database Providing accessible and centralized commercial vacancy information may reduce barriers to filling these holes and avoiding long-term blight and disinvestment. As the Region seeks to attract employers and new businesses, a centralized database of commercial vacancies would provide easy access to information for potential tenants, and it may influence the communities' understanding of the need for additional commercial land. 4. Measure impacts of action locally and regionally E4f Establish and update regional indicators dashboard Successful dashboards collect and monitor pertinent data points over time and present the information in a clear and compelling way. Information such as job growth, population change, graduation rates, and housing starts provides important insights into the trajectory of the region and will be regularly made available to the public. Establish and monitor progress criteria for all Framework actions Effective implementation of this plan will depend on benchmarking and monitoring the advancement of each of the actions. While implementation is a collective effort with many involved parties among the communities, the Partnership will be responsible to ensure that the actions advance as intended. Benchmarking progress will be key to the Partnership's value proposition. Action Recommendation Finalization and Priorities/Timing Discussion I Framework 2030 1 Page 7 of 9 INTERCONNECTIONS 1 . Create a clear and compelling regional identity to advance collaborative work Develop a regional brand and identity Creating a brand that embraces the distinctive characteristics and visions of the communities will give a sense of unity and identity to the region. A recognizable brand can leave a memorable impression on visitors and connect or associate places with one another. The regional brand should seek to celebrate the individuality of the communities while also collecting those places into the demonstrated regional market area. Integrate branding with placemaking initiatives Applying the regional brand to local placemaking initiatives will provide a common thread that links the efforts of each community. While every placemaking project or event should be unique, attaching the regional brand to each of them displays how the communities are part of something larger than themselves. 2. Enhance connections between our communities Continue ongoing conversations with MnDOT and the counties regarding special projects Major transportation and infrastructure investment into the region has, in most cases, been the result of a collaborative process between communities, counties, and the state. The complexity, cost, and multi-jurisdictional coordination of these projects well exceed the capacity for any individual community to complete.As the region continues to grapple with challenges related to growth and related congestion it will be essential to be "at the table" as major investments are considered and prioritized. 3. Share talent, time, and information 13A Establish an annual "State of the Region" forum With time and maturity, the group will continue to grow its perspective and understanding of regional issues.As major"holders of the information," it will be important to establish a regular sharing opportunity with partner and non-partner communities alike. The event should convene government and non-government actors from around Sherburne and Wright Counties and prioritize engagement and participation.

Pursue a regional lobbying effort, "Our fair share" The Partnership is the principal advocate for the communities and the region and can lobby for their needs at the state and federal levels. With major tranches of funding being released through the American Rescue Plan and the potential for increased federal infrastructure spending the next decade, the region must ensure it receives its "fair share" of this investment.As a unified region, the Partnership can leverage its size and perspective in a way that the individual communities can not. 4. Continually address regional vulnerabilities and emerging opportunities Study social service opportunities that may benefit from regional coordination A full inventory of existing social services in the region would provide a clearer understanding of the coverages, gaps, and redundancies in the network. Some of the hundreds of mission-minded organizations could benefit from an "economies of scale" approach. The Partnership and communities can work together to identify if certain services would be more effective if coordinated regionally rather than in each of the individual jurisdictions and convene discussions to initiate this collaboration. Convene ongoing discussions on energy plant closures The Sherco coal-fired power generation plant and Xcel's nuclear power generation plant account for hundreds of jobs and a significant tax base in the region.As both plants are tentatively scheduled to be decommissioned, it will be imperative for the partner communities to coordinate their response. The decommissioning will leave significant power generation infrastructure in place and may present opportunities for major capital investment.
