MINUTES
REGULAR MEETING - MONTICELLO PLANNING COMMISSION
Tuesday, October 16, 1979 - 7:30 P.M.
Members Present: Jim Ridgeway, Dave Bauer, Ed Schaffer. Loren Klein (ex-officio)
Members Absent: Dick Martie, Fred Topel.
1. Approval of Minutes.
Motion was made by Dave Bauer, seconded by Ed Schaffer and unanimously
carried to approve the minutes of the Regular Meeting of September 18, 1979.
2. Public Hearing - Consideration of Recommending Approval of Curtis Hoglund's
Subdivision Request for Macarlund Plaza.
Mr. Ron Hoglund presented to the planning Commission the intentions of
Mr. Curtis Hoglund to subdivide his property (9.4 acres) on East Broad-
way into 67 lots.
The purpose of the request is to develop commercial property on Lots 2
thru 6 of Block 1 and residential property on Lot 1, Block 1 and the
balance of the Lots on Block 2 through 11 and Outlot A.
.
The immediate plans are to develop townhouses on Block 2 thru 11 with
outlot A to be used as common shared ground for the townhouse owners.
There was concern expressed that if the property were given services
off of Mississippi Drive as to whether or not adequate water pressure
could be developed. However, at a previous Council meeting, Mr. John
Badalich, the City Engineer, informed the members that plans and specifi-
cations could be developed that would make servicing Macarlund Plaza
from Mississippi Drive feasible.
presently, also, the developer is considering requesting looping of the
water services from the east end of Mississippi Drive along County
Road 39 and East Broadway to approximately Dino's Other World to give
better water pressure and circulation. Other affected property owners
would have to be contacted in this case, however, and a public hearing
held.
Mr. Badalich recommended approval of the preliminary plat of Macarlund
Plaza if the developer would drain the hardsurfaced parking and road
area to a catch basin or series of catch basins along the route to and
at the west end of the road area and then drain the runoff through a
series of storm sewer and manholes across Lot 14, Block 3 of the Hoglund
Addition, which is owned by curtis Hoglund, and into the existing storm
sewer line on Mississippi Drive.

.
Mr. Hoglund is proposing to dedicate all of Lot 14, and whatever part
of Lot 13 of Block 3 in Hoglund Addition that is necessary to meet
the park ordinance requirements.
A motion was made by Ed Schaffer, seconded by Dave Bauer and unanimously
carried to recommend approval of Macarlund Plaza's preliminary plat
contingent upon following the engineer's recommendations and recommended
that the looping of the services from Mississippi Drive at County Road
39 to Dino's be given consideration.
3. Public Hearing - Consideration of a Request for a Conditional Use premit -
Curtis Hoglund.
In conjunction with Item #1 above, Mr. Hoglund is requesting a condi-
tional use permit to develop townhouses on Blocks 7 through 11 and
garages for those townhouses on Blocks 2 through 6. Each individual
townhouse would have a single attached garage and a single detached garage.
Outlot A would be owned by a townhouse owners association and by agree-
ments signed by all parties and binding on all property owners would pro-
vide for maintenance of all common ground areas.
The owners association agreement has been reviewed by Gary Pringle,
the City Attorney, and has received his preliminary approval.
.
On a motion by Dave Bauer and seconded by Ed Schaffer, the recommenda-
tion for approval passed unanimously.
4.
consideration of a Variance Request - La Rayne Vogt.
LaRayne vogt, on behalf of a client who presently wishes to remain
anonymous, requested a variance to allow an owner-operated beauty shop
in a residence located on the N~ and the W~ of Lot 3 and N~ of Lots 4 & 5,
Block 38, Lower Monticello, currently owned by Ralph Kiffmeyer. Zoned R-2.
The prospective operator would agree, if granted the variance, to be the
only operator of this shop, and to not have any employees, and to place
a sign on the property no more than 2' x 3' for advertising the business,
if a sign were used? and this sign is to be approved by the Building Official.
There were no comments, pro or con, offered prior to or at the Planning
Commission meeting from affected neighboring property owners.
Motion was made by Dave Bauer, seconded by Ed Schaffer and unanimously
carried to recommend approval of this variance request.
5.
Consideration of a Simple Subdivision of Property - Troy Chaplin and
Lawrence Hoyt.
.
Mr. Troy Chaplin and Mr. Lawrence Hoyt, who are abutting property owners,
made a request to make some exchange of property between themselves
to better arrange their property lines, and resolve a problem which
exists because one of the owners has a driveway which is partly on

the others lot. Both property owners made the request which would tend
to make their lots more rectangular rather than the present wedge shapes.
Motion was made by Mr. Dave Bauer, seconded by Ed Schaffer and unanimously
carried to recommend approval contingent upon the certificate of survey
being prepared and recording be done by the process outlined in the
Monticello Ordinances.
6. Miscellaneous.
Mr. David Klein came before the Planning Commission to get a tentative
response about rezoning Lots 9 & 10 of Block 4, Lower Monticello, from
R-l to R-2 so he could remove the existing house and build a new duplex.
The Planning Commission members indicated they could possibly be
favorable to his request, but clarified that any decision would have to
be made after holding a public hearing on the matter.
adjourned at 8:15 P.M.
