Grittman introduced the item to the Planning Commission and described the existing
conditions of the site, including locations of existing buildings. Grittrnan described
the proposal to subdivide the site into two parcels, both of which meet the
performance requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Grittrnan explained that front
yard setbacks would apply to both Fallon Avenue and Dundas Road as the proposed
lot is a double frontage lot. Grittman outlined the conditions of approval in Exhibit Z.
Staff is recommending approval of the proposed subdivision, subject to these
conditions.
.
.
.
Commissioner Voigt inquired about the required easements for both parcels.
Grittman stated that the requested easements are what the City typically requires for
newly created parcels. He clarified that ,easements are required on both sides of all
newly created lot lines. !
Chair Dragsten inquired about the possibly of subdividing the parcel again in the
future. Grittman verified that Parcel A could be subdivided in the future and still
meet the minimum lot area and lot width requirements. Grittman clarified that any
future subdivision of the site would need to be done through the platting process, and
not as a simple subdivision. Dragsten stated that he does not like the irregular lot
shape.
Dragsten opened the Public Hearing. The applicant, Steve Birkeland 4013 Highway
25 N Buffalo, MN, was present. Dragsten asked the applicant why he chose the
irregular lot design. The applicant stated that he chose the design to allow traffic to
circulate through the site by having access off both Dundas Road and Fallon Avenue.
Dragsten asked the applicant ifhe was aware of the conditions outlined in Exhibit Z.
Birkeland stated that he met with staff prior to the meeting and was made aware of
the conditions. He stated that he is willing to comply with all conditions in Exhibit Z.
Council Liaison Mayer stated that he is concerned with the proximity of a potential
access in the northwest comer of the site to the intersection of Chelsea Road and
Fallon A venue. Mayer asked Grittman how far the driveway would need to be
setback from the intersection. Grittman stated that he believes the required setback is
60 feet. Mayer stated that he is concerned with this potential driveway location with
the future extension of Fallon A venue, as this driveway would be the first thing
people would see as they come across the freeway. Grittman stated that the issue of
the driveway location has not been studied, but the City could request that WSB, the
consulting engineer, look into the situation.
COMMISSIONER HILGART MADE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE REQUEST
FOR A SIMPLE SUBDIVISION IN AN 1-2, HEAVY INDUSTRIAL DISTIRCT,

Commissioner Voigt inquired as to the style of the wall signage. Grittman stated that
they appear to be typical backlit, box panel signs. Commissioner Gabler inquired as
to the design of the pylon sign and stated that she is concerned about whether or not it
will blend in with existing signs along Highway 25. Grittman presented the pylon
sign schematic and stated that he is not aware of the proposed materials of the pylon
sign. I
!
Chair Dragsten inquired as to the status of the lighting plan for the site. He would
like to verify that the site has an approved lighting plan as he believes that may have
been another outstanding issue for the project. Dragsten questioned the square
footage of the signage. He stated that he reviewed the plan and got 495 square feet of
signage, as opposed to 467 square feet as noted in the report. Voigt stated that he
calculated the signage several times and came up with 467 square feet. Grittman
stated that staff would verifY the total area of proposed wall signage.
Dragsten opened the Public Hearing. Stuart Bailey of Miller Architects and Builders,
3335 West Germain Street St. Cloud, MN, spoke as the applicant. Mr. Bailey
described the design and materials of the proposed pylon sign. He stated that the sign
will be supported by tubular steel posts. The face of the sign will contain Lucite
panels surrounded by an aluminum frame. Dragsten inquired as to whether or not an
electronic reader board would be used. Bailey verified that there would not be a
reader board. Bailey described the materials of the proposed wall signs.
Building Official Anderson asked the applicant to consider including a message
center under the pylon sign to avoid problems with the 40 days allotted for temporary
signage. The applicant stated that he would take that into consideration, but the

Conditional Use Permit approval for a drive through lane in a B-4 (Regional
Business) District. Applicant: Rvan Companies. Inc.
.
Grittman introduced the proposed retail center to the Commission and described the
conditions of the site. Grittman outlined the approvals being requested and the
history of the project. Grittman pointed out access to the site as illustrated on the site
plan. Grittman described the drive through location and how traffic would circulate
through the site accordingly. Grittman stated that the proposed amount of stacking
space is appropriate to accommodate the drive through coffee shop/restaurant use.
Grittman explained that the parking requirement for the site has not been met, but
may be accommodated by excess parking in the remainder of the site via Planned
Unit Development. Grittman outlined the conditions of approval in Exhibit Z. Staff
is recommending approval of the proposed plat, Conditional Use Permit, and Planned
Unit Development subject to these conditions.
Commissioner Gabler questioned the leasing status of the site. Commissioner Spartz
asked about the parking situation for Lots 2 and 3. Grittman stated that parking on
those lots will be evaluated upon development. Grittman also noted that the applicant
will be submitting another application for the undeveloped portion of the site in the
near future.
.
Spartz inquired about the "no stopping" area and a potential one-way turn in this area.
Grittman verified that the one-way circulation is conditioned in the City Engineer's
report. Spartz inquired as to whether or not there would be access to the building on
the back side, facing Target. Mr. Grittman verified that the back portion of the
building would be reserved for service access.
Spartz inquired about the separation between the Target parking lot and the drive
through lane as he is concerned about snow storage. Grittman stated that the
proposed setback appears to be adequate.
Voigt inquired about the requested removal of the two parking stalls located within
the easement. Grittman stated that although the site is short on parking, removing
these stalls would still be preferred. Commissioner Voigt inquired about the lighting
plan and the proposed footcandle measurements, as well as the height of the light
fixtures. He is concemed about the accuracy of the footcandle readings in the
northeast corner ofthe site. Dragsten stated that a condition could be added to
request that the applicant speak to their lighting engineer and provide additional
information on how the footcandle readings were measured.
Commissioner Voigt inquired as to whether or not the applicant would need further
approval for a pylon sign. Mr. Grittman verified that they would.
.
Chair Dragsten verified that any future tenants for the center must be permitted uses
in the 8-4 District. Dragsten inquired about the use of the parking in the Target
parking lot and the rear building elevation. He stated that he is concerned with the
monotony of the fa9ade as it will be visible from the Target site and the parking lot.
.
Dragsten inquired about the location fOf delivery vehicles and delivery times. Mr.
Grittman verified that the service doors for each tenant are in the back of the building
and it can be expected that service vehicles will access the site from the rear drive
lane. Mr. Grittman explained that the drive through is wide enough for a passing lane
in the event of delivery vehicles standing in the drive through lane. Voigt inquired
about the location of trash enclosures. Planner Holien verified that the trash
receptacles are enclosed and are expected to be accessed from the back of the
building.
Chair Dragsten stated that he is concerned with the number of conditions outlined in
Exhibit Z. Grittman verified that the applicant would be required to satisfy all
conditions in Exhibit Z prior to moving on to Final Stage Planned Unit Development
approvaL
.
Chair Dragsten opened the public hearing. Steve Broyer of Ryan Companies, Inc.
was present to speak as the applicant. Mr. Broyer clarified Voigt's questions on the
lighting plan. Broyer explained the plan for tenant signage upon leasing each space.
Broyer stated that the applicant has been asked to prepare an alternate design for the
back side of building by Target. He stated that possible modifications to this portion
of the building may include black awnings and/or metal glaze to break up the
monotony.
Broyer stated that deliveries to the site will be self-managed based on tenant usage
and trash will not be picked up during peak periods.
Broyer stated that monument signage was approved for the site during Phase I of the
PUD. He stated that the tenant usage for this monument sign will be determined upon
development of the remaining two lots.
Mayer clarified that the drive through approved for the Broadway Market site, which
is similar in design to that proposed, was only approved by the City Council after
much debate. Mayer expressed concern about directional signage for the entrance to
the drive through. He stated that he is concerned with the "no stopping" area, as the
message may easily be covered by snow. Broyer stated that additional directional
signage may be added to the site to ease traffic flow into and around the drive
through. He also stated that no issues have been reported with similar drive through
designs in other locations. Dragsten inquired about the location of the order board
and pick-up window and asked if the applicant has considered blocking the pass
through lane in the drive through location. Grittman stated such a design often
creates traffic flow concerns as it would result in a dead-end.
Grittman expressed concern about low footcandle readings near the drive through
order board. Broyer stated that wall pack lighting may be added in this location and
an updated lighting plan can be submitted to reflect this change.
.
.
.
.
Commissioner Hilgart asked whether or not it would be feasible to keep traffic on the
right side of the drive aisle in the northeast comer of the site to alleviate traffic flow,
and then direct traffic toward the drive through order board after the pass through
lane. Hilgart stated that the intended traffic pattern may be communicated by striping
the drive aisle. Grittman and Dragsten agreed that this design may be a feasible
solution to traffic congestion problems in the pass through location. Dragsten
clarified that this would eliminate the need for one-way traffic circulation in this
location. Commissioner Spartz asked Hilgart to clarify his proposal. The applicant
stated that this modification may be accommodated.
Dragsten stated that he is concerned with the design of both the front and rear
building elevations, and would like the applicant to come back with revised plans. He
stated that he would prefer to err on the side of caution as this is a double fronting lot.
Hilgart asked ifit would be possible to duplicate the design of the front of the
building on the back side. Chair Dragsten stated that he would like to see the roofline
broken up and an alternate design submitted for the back side of the building. He also
stated that he would like to see a color elevation of the back side of the building.
Hearing no further comment, Dragsten closed the public hearing.
Hilgart stated that he would like to see the alternate building design with the more
detail to break up the back side of the building. Broyer stated that the applicant
would prepare revised plans reflecting the Planning Commission's concerns.

SECOND BY VOIGT. MOTION CARRIED, 5-0.
8. Added Item: Commissioner Voigt expressed concern with lighting situations
throughout the City. He stated that he has had conversations with Administrator
O'Neill about lighting on City properties. Mr. Voigt stated that he would like to see
the lighting ordinance updated as part of a larger ordinance review in the future. Mr.
Voigt recommended that the City hire a consultant to measure lighting throughout the
City. Dragsten clarified the request to hire a consultant and inquired about the
process with Gary Anderson. Mr. Anderson stated that it may be a good idea to look
at problem properties prior to hiring a consultant.
9. Added Item: Commissioner Gabler requested a staff update on the outstanding
requirements for the Jacob Holdings Interim Use Permit.
.

of recently approved projects for the Planning Commission to review. Gabler stated
that she would like to review this information prior to the spring planting season.
Dragsten clarified the security mechanism used by the City to ensure landscaping
compliance. Gary Anderson verified that the City uses a letter of credit process and
properties must be compliant with the landscaping requirements within one growing
season.
II. Added Item: Dragsten asked that the City continue their work on the PUD Points
System to have this project on track prior to the construction season. Grittman stated
that staff is also concerned about continuing this process. Mayer stated that he would
like both the City Council and Planning Commission to participate in a joint session
regarding this issue and asked that the Planning Commission and City Council both
be notified of any future meetings on this topic.

stated that participants at the previous meeting expressed that they would prefer to see
this land guided as agricultural. He stated that the County is expecting to get a draft
of this document out by the end of next month. Dragsten asked about the proposed
land uses within the Orderly Annexation Area and the timeline of the process.
Grittman stated that the City should have a draft of the Comprehensive Plan to review
by the next Planning Commission meeting.

Planning Commission Agenda - 03/06/07
5.
Consideration of a request for It Conditional Use Permit for
Development Staee Planned Unit Development approval for an inline
retail center at Union Crossines. Applicant: Rvan Companies US.
Inc. (NAC)
BACKGROUND
Ryan Companies is seeking a Conditional Use Permit for development
stage Planned Unit Development for the construction of an inline retail
center located at Lot 2 Block 2 of Union Crossings. The applicant is
proposing 57,792 square feet of retail space between the Target and Home
Depot properties. The underlying zoning is B-4, Regional Business.
ANALYSIS
The subject site is located at the intersection of 7th Street East and
Highland Way, between the Target and Home Depot properties. The site
lies within the Union Crossings PUD. The parking lot and landscaping
were installed during construction of the adjacent Home Depot property.
The site relies on Planned Unit Development for shared parking, shared
access.
The proposed use includes five commercial tenants extending southeast
from the Home Depot building. The westemmost tenant will be attached
to the Home Depot building, with the other four other tenants extending
east inline. Two tenants have been identified for the retail space,
including Office Max and Petsmart.
Comprehensive Plan: Monticello's Comprehensive Plan designates this
area for commercial use.
Zonin:;;:: The subject site is zoned B-4, Regional Business. 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.
CUPIPUD: A Planned Unit Development allows for flexibility in
performance standards with the understanding that the development will
be held to higher standards of site and building design than would
ordinarily be required. It is the applicant's responsibility to design the
development with significant benefits and communicate those benefits to
the City for allowing a CUPIPUD.
Setbacks. The site is zoned B-4, Regional Business. In this district, there
are no minimum setback requirements.
Planning Commission Agenda - 03/06/07
.
Parking. The parking requirement for retail uses is one space for each
200 square feet of floor area. In determining the parking requirement,
10% of the building is presumed to be reserved for utilities, hallways,
bathrooms, and other facilities. As such, the parking requirement is as
follows: (57,792 x .9)/200 = 261 parking stalls.
The site contains 309 existing parking stalls for the proposed use. The
number of parking stalls provided greatly exceeds the minimum
requirement for the site. As stated above, the site relies on Planned Unit
Development for a shared parking arrangement between tenants. Due to
its proximity to the Home Depot site, it is expected that overflow parking
from this use will rely on the excess parking stalls of the inline site to
accommodate parking needs during peak periods. As such, the proposed
parking is appropriate for the site.
.
Landscaping. For commercial sites, a minimum of one overstory tree per
1,000 square feet of gross building floor area, or one tree per 50 lineal feet
of site perimeter, whichever is greater, is required. The site has
approximately 2,220 lineal feet of site perimeter, requiring 45 overstory
trees. However, with 57,792 square feet of gross floor area, the minimum
requirement is greater, at 58 trees.
The applicant has submitted a landscape plan, including three Autumn
Blaze Maple trees, three Prariefire Crabapple ornamental trees, Gold
Flame Spirea and Anthony Waterer Spirea shrubs, Sea Green Juniper
coniferous shrubs, and a variety of perennials. The existing parking lot
islands were landscaped upon installation, and the northeastern perimeter
of the site has also been planted. All unpaved portions of the remainder of
the site will contain sod.
The existing landscaping consists of 35 deciduous overstory trees, 20
evergreen trees, and a variety of shrubs and perennials. When the existing
landscaping is taken into account, as well as the three overstory trees
proposed, the site would contain a total of 58 overstory trees. Thus, the
minimum requirement is satisfied.
.
2
Planning Commission Agenda - 03/06/07
.
Lighting. A lighting plan has been submitted for the site, indicating full
cutofflighting throughout the parking lot. No information has been
provided as to the style of fixtures, as they have already been installed as
part of the parking lot construction. The parking lot lighting consists of
shoebox style fixtures on 38 foot steel poles, consistent with the rest of the
PUD. Wall pack lighting is proposed on the back side of the building. No
information has been provided as to the style of these wall packs.
However, staff recommends that the applicant use full cutoff lighting in
this location to reduce glare.
Footcandle readings around the perimeter of the site are relatively high,
with several readings over one footcandle on the Highland Way right-of-
way. However, this may also be attributed to light spilling over from the
adjacent Target parking lot. A number of trees are planted adjacent to the
right-of-way to assist in reducing glare and screening headlights. As such,
the proposed lighting may be appropriate.
.
Signage. In the case of a building where there are two or more uses and
which, by generally understood and accepted definitions, is considered to
be a shopping center or shopping mall, a conditional use permit may be
granted to the entire building in accordance to an overall site plan
indicating their size, location, and height of all signs presented to the
Planning Commission. A maximum of 5% of the gross area of the front
silhouette shall apply to the principal building where the aggregate
allowable sign area is equitably distributed among the several businesses.
For purposes of determining the gross area of the silhouette of the
principal building, the silhouette shall be defined as that area within the
outline drawing of the principal building as viewed from the front lot line
or from the related public street(s).
The total fa~ade, including the front of the building and the portion visible
from Highland Way, has a silhouette area of approximately 11,740 square
feet. Therefore, the total allowable area for wall signage is 587 square
feet. The building elevations show the approximate sign area for each
tenant. The applicant is proposing a maximum of 505 square feet of
signage on the front fa~ade, divided up amongst five tenants. The
elevations also show an 82 square foot sign on the east elevation, facing
Highland Way. As proposed, the total signage for the site is 587 square
feet, within the parameters of the ordinance.
.

Planning Commission Agenda - 03/06/07
.
Access and Circulation. The primary access to the site extends west
from Highland way, just south of the retail center. This driveway is
proposed to be 30 feet in width. The access lines up with the access to the
Target property on the east side of Highland Way. The site may also be
accessed from the south, via a driveway into the Home Depot site off 7th
Street. Cross access to the Home Depot site will be accommodated by
existing drive aisles, connecting the parking lots.
All internal drive lanes are proposed at a minimum width of24 feet, wide
enough to accommodate two-way traffic. Pedestrian access will be
accommodated by a concrete sidewalk running along the front of the
building, and extending west to the Home Depot site. The proposed
sidewalk will connect to the existing sidewalk on the Home Depot
property. The width of the sidewalk in front of the building is proposed at
a minimum of20 feet, and up to 75 feet on the southeast end. The
pavement on the southeast end will be broken up by two landscaped
islands.
.
Building Design. The applicant has submitted color elevations for all
three sides of the building. The building is proposed to consist of
synthetic stucco with rockface masonry accents in varying earth tone
shades. The front and east elevations will broken up with dark fabric
awnings, gray tinted glass, and anodized metal cornices above each
doorway.
The rear elevation is of a similar design, with fewer aesthetic details. The
back side of the building will be broken up by stepping forward portions
ofthe fayade and using multiple earth tone shades. Service access for the
building will be located on the back side.
Grading and Drainage. Regarding grading and drainage for the site, the
City Engineer has provided the following comments:
I. The applicant shall be required to show all drainage and utility
easements.
Additional comments from the City Engineer may be presented at the
Planning Commission meeting.

AL TER1'lA TIVE ACTIONS.
Regarding the request for a Conditional Use Permit for Development
Stage Planned Unit Development approval and Final Plat approval for a
strip center with retail and commercial uses, the City has the following
options:
.
1. Motion to approve the Development Stage Planned Unit
Development and Final Plat approval, based on a finding that
the proposed use is consistent with the intent of the existing
PUD and the 8-4 District, subject to the conditions outlined in
Exhibit Z.
2. Motion to deny the Conditional Use Permit for Development Stage
Planned Unit Development approval and the Final Plat, based
on a finding that the proposed use is not consistent with the
intent of the existing rUD and the 8-4 District, and the use
may not be supported by the site.
RECOMMENDATION
Ryan Companies is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for Development
Stage Planned Unit Development to allow for commercial strip center
containing a variety of retail uses, connected to the Home Depot building.
The site is part ofthe existing Union Crossings Planned Unit
Development, which contains a mix of retail uses. The request is
generally consistent with the recommendations made by staff during
Concept Stage Review.
The proposed use appears to be consistent with the intent of the 8-4
District and the existing PUD. Staff recommends approval of the CUP for
Planned Unit Development and the Final Plat, subject to the conditions
outlined in Exhibit Z.

Consideration of a reauest for a Conditional Use Permit for Development
Staee Planned Unit Development approval for a multi-tenant shoppine
center. Final Plat approval and Conditional Use Permit approval for a drive
throul!h lane at Union Crossines. Applicant: Rvan Companies US. Inc(NAC)
The Planning Commission heard this item at their February 6, 2006 meeting
and recommended tabling the item. The item was table to allow the
applicant to submit an alternate drive through design, revised building
elevations, and a revised lighting plan. Revised plans were submitted,
addressing these issues and conditions required by the City Engineer.
BACKGROUND
Ryan Companies is seeking a Conditional Use Permit for development stage
Planned Unit Development for the construction of a shopping center, Final Plat
approval and a Conditional Use Permit for a drive through lane, located at Lot 1
Block 1 of Union Crossings Second Addition.
The applicant is proposing a 15,600 square foot commercial shopping center with
multiple tenants to be located in the northeast portion of the site. The underlying
zoning is B-4, Regional Business.
ANALYSIS
The subject site is located at the intersection of CSAH 18 and East 7th Street. The
existing Planned Unit Development contains Home Depot and Target, with two
additional pad sites in the southwest comer. The subject site is located southeast
of the Target building. A concept review was performed for the site in 2004. The
site relied on PUD for shared parking, shared access, and setback flexibility.
Comorehensive Plan: Monticello's Comprehensive Plan designates this area for
commercial use.
Zoninl!: The subject site is zoned B-4, Regional Business. 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.
CUP/PUD: A Planned Unit Development allows for flexibility in performance
standards with the understanding that the development will be held to higher
standards of site and building design than would ordinarily be required. It is the
applicant's responsibility to design the development with significant benefits and
communicate those benefits to the City for allowing a CUP/PUD.

I Planning Commission Agenda - 03/06/07
.
Parking. The proposed building is 15,600 square feet in area. The proposed uses
for the structure have not been provided. A drive through window is proposed for
the south unit of the building. The drive through indicates that this unit will be
reserved for a restaurant or coffee shop use. This unit is shown at 1,800 square
feet. The total kitchen and dining areas for this tenant have not been provided.
Staffhas therefore estimated the area of the kitchen at 1/3 of the unit, or 600
square feet. Tenants for the remainder of the site are assumed to be various retail
services. In determining the parking requirement, 10% of the building is
presumed to be reserved for utilities, hallways, bathrooms, and other facilities. As
such, the estimated parking requirement is as follows:
Tenant
Restaurant/Coffee
Shop
Retail
Total Required
Area
1,200 sf
600 sf
13,800 sf
(90%)
1,080 sf
540 sf
12,420 sf
Requirement
1 space/40 sf of dining area
1 soace/80 sf of kitchen area
1 soace/200 sf of floor area
Stalls
27
7
62
96
.
The site plan illustrates 83 parking stalls, including four handicapped stalls. The
number provided is 13 stalls short of the minimum requirement. Per the City
Engineer's recommendation, the applicant has removed two parking stalls that
were located within the drainage and utility easement.
The entire Planned Unit Development contains over 2,100 parking stalls, 300 of
which are located near the retail site and the two future building pads to the south.
Any overflow parking from the retail site may be accommodated by the parking
provided by surrounding uses. As such, the proposed parking arrangement is
sufficient.
However, it should be noted that any additional restaurant uses within the retail
center would require further evaluation of the parking situation, as the parking
requirement for restaurant uses is much higher than that for retail uses.
Drive Through. The applicant is proposing a "low-volume" drive through
circulating around the site. The order board is located in the northwest comer of
the building. Traffic will then circulate around to the west side of the building
and head south. The pick-up window is located on the opposite end ofthe
building, in the southwest comer.
Drive through establishments are allowed in the B-4 District by Conditional Use
Permit. The Zoning Ordinance contains the following provisions for such uses:
.
. The architectural appearance and functional plan of the building and site
shall not be so dissimilar to the existing buildings or area as to cause
impairment in property values or constitute a blighting influence within a
reasonable distance oflot.
2
Planning Commission Agenda - 03/06/07
.
. At the boundaries of a residential district a strip of not less than five 5 feet
shall be landscaped and screened in compliance with Chapter 3 Section 2
G of this ordinance.
. Each light standard island and all islands in the parking lot landscaped or
covered.
. Parking areas shall be screened from view of abutting residential districts
in compliance with Chapter 3 Section 2 G of this ordinance.
. Parking areas and driveways shall be curbed with continuous curb not less
than six 6 inches high above the parking lot or driveway grade.
. Vehicular access points shall be limited shall create a minimum of conflict
with through traffic movements shall comply with Chapter 3 Section 5 of
this ordinance and shall be subject to the approval of the City Engineer.
. All lighting shall be hooded and so directed that the light source is not
visible from the public right of way or from an abutting residence and
shall be in compliance with Chapter 3 Section 2 H ofthis ordinance.
. The entire area shall have a drainage system which is subject to the
approval of the City Engineer.
. The entire area other than that occupied by buildings or structure or
plantings shall be surfaced with a material which will control dust and
drainage and which is subject to the approval of the City Engineer.
. All signing and informational or visual communication devices shall be in
compliance with Chapter 3 Section 9 of this ordinance.
.
The drive through has been redesigned to remove the pass through lane, as
requested by the Planning Commission. As proposed, the design provides a 12
foot wide drive lane with approximately 160 feet of stacking space behind the
window. With the driveway length provided, the drive through would provide
stacking space for at least eight vehicles behind the order board. The drive
through contains an adjacent passing lane approximatelyl5 feet in width. The
width ofthe drive lane extends to 20.25 feet on the west side of the building as
traffic circulates around to the pick-up window.
A low volume drive through would typically accommodate a business such as a
coffee shop. The existing Caribou Coffee drive through has an average of five to
six cars in the drive lane at one time, with more during peak periods. Therefore,
the proposed stacking space is appropriate.
.
The City Engineer has noted that the curbing on the west side of the one-way
drive through lane appears to be located within the 6-foot drainage and utility
easement. The applicant has verified that this back of the curb does encroach
approximately eight inches into the easement. Upon review, the City Engineer
has noted that the proposed curb location may be allowed. However, any
disruption of private structures due to work within the drainage and utility
easement would be at the expense of the property owner.

Planning Commission Agenda - 03/06/07
.
Landscaping. For commercial sites, a minimum of one overstory tree per 1,000
square feet of gross building floor area, or one tree per 50 lineal feet of site
perimeter, whichever is greater, is required. The site has approximately 1,234
lineal feet of site perimeter, requiring 25 overstory trees, as opposed to the 17 that
would be required under the floor area calculation.
The landscape plan exceeds the minimum requirement for the site, providing 36
overstory trees to be planted, including nine Patmore Ash, seven Autumn Blaze
Maple, eleven Black Hills Spruce, and nine Austrian Pine. An additional 12
Prairiefire Crabapple ornamental trees and a variety of shrubs and perennials are
also proposed for the site. The majority of the plantings are around the perimeter
of the site to screen from CSAH 18 and the railroad. Sod is proposed on the south
side of the building with a variety of perennials proposed near the foundation.
All parking lot islands will also be landscaped.
Lighting. A lighting plan has been submitted for the site, indicating full cutoff
lighting throughout the parking lot with shoebox style fixtures on 38 foot steel
poles. Readings around the perimeter of the site are all under 1 footcandle, with
no light spilling over onto adjacent rights-of-way.
.
Signage. A 400 square foot pylon sign for the entire Union Crossings
development is currently located on Outlot D. The City's sign ordinance permits
the large pylon sign, with the requirement that other signs in the project are
limited to wall or monument signs. Three monument signs were also approved
during the first stage of developments. Tenants of these signs have yet to be
determined. As such, only wall signage has been proposed for the site.
In the case of a building where there are two or more uses and which, by
generally understood and accepted definitions, is considered to be a shopping
center or shopping mall, a conditional use permit may be granted to the entire
building in accordance to an overall site plan indicating their size, location, and
height of all signs presented to the Planning Commission. A maximum of 5% of
the gross area of the front silhouette shall apply to the principal building where
the aggregate allowable sign area is equitably distributed among the several
businesses. For purposes of determining the gross area of the silhouette of the
principal building, the silhouette shall be defined as that area within the outline
drawing of the principal building as viewed from the front lot line or from the
related public street(s).
.
The front fal(ade is ap~roximately 5,200 square feet in area. The building will
also be visible from 7' Street, with a silhouette area of 1,220 square feet. The
total silhouette area for the site is 6,420 square feet. Therefore, the total allowable
area for wall signage is 321 feet. Under the provisions of the Ordinance, the site
would also be allowed a monument sign up to 100 square feet. However, no such
sign is proposed.
4
Planning Commission Agenda - 03/06/07
.
Each unit contains a wall sign 39 feet in area on the front fayade, for a total of 390
square feet of signage. The total area of proposed signage exceeds that maximum
allowed by ordinance. However, another 100 square feet of signage would be
allowed on a monument sign. The 71 square feet of excess signage may therefore
be accommodated by the PUD.
All plans have also been reviewed regarding directional signage. Staff is
concerned with directional signage for the drive through entrance. As presented,
vehicles may enter the drive through lane from the center pass-through.
Additional directional signage may be necessary to direct patrons to the
appropriate drive through entrance in the northeast comer of the site. One such
sign is located on the east side of the site, just north of the row of parking stalls
and one on the south edge of the site. Staff recommends an additional directional
sign on the east side of the island in the northeast comer of the site.
The City Engineer has also reviewed the plans and made the following
recommendations:
.
1. Add "Do Not Enter" sign (#5) at north end of driveway between lots 2 and
3.
2. Add "Stop" sign (#1) at south end of double-row of parking stalls east of
building.
3. Add two "One Way" pavement markings with arrows adjacent to drive-
thru bypass lane. Place one in northeast comer where one-way begins and
other next to "drive-thru" marking on north side oflot 1.
Access and Circulation. Access to the site is provided at two points. One point
includes the construction of an access road from 7th Street. This road will pass
through the two future development sites to the south, and end at the retail center
site. This road is proposed to be 20 feet in width and will be a one-way, with all
traffic circulating from south to north.
A second access point is proposed off the existing driveway between the retail
center site and the Target and Home Depot properties. The access extends to the
east from this driveway and is proposed to be 30 feet wide, wide enough for two-
way traffic and an additional turn lane at the intersection.
All internal drive lanes are proposed at 27 feet in width, wide enough to
accommodate two-way traffic. A one-way passing lane is located on the north
side of the drive through stacking lane. This lane is 12 feet wide in the narrowest
location. The drive through line is properly striped to delineate a passing lane,
and directional signage has been provided, indicating that both lanes are intended
for one-way traffic.
.
5
Planning Commission Agenda - 03/06/07
.
Pedestrian access will be accommodated by a concrete sidewalk running along the
front of the building, and extending north to the Target site. The width of the
sidewalk in front of the building is proposed at II feet. The applicant has
provided a crosswalk at the sidewalk separation extending west to the Target site.
A second crosswalk is shown, connecting the sidewalk to the future development
pads to the south. The width of the sidewalk on the south side of the site is
proposed at five feet. An existing City pathway also runs along the east edge of
the property, adjacent to CSAH 18. A trail easement 21 feet in width has been
provided in this location, in accordance with the development agreement dated
July 5, 2005.
Building Design. The applicant has submitted revised color elevations for all
four sides of the building at the direction of the Planning Commission. The
building is proposed to be constructed mainly of rockface masonry with stucco
accents and a significant amount of glass coverage on the front elevation. The
front of each unit will primarily consist of gray tinted glass. Some units will also
contain a black fabric awning over the front entrance. Vertical striping within
synthetic stucco pillars adds additional visual interest to the fa9ade. The right and
left side elevations are similar to the front, including black awnings and glass
coverage.
.
The back side ofthe building, facing Target, will primarily consist of rockface
masonry. The long fa9ade will be broken up by adding vertical details in lighter
tones and installing black fabric awnings in the center of the building, as well as
on each end unit. Service access will be on the back side of the building. All
service doors are colored to coordinate with the remainder of the building.
The color elevations provided illustrate warm earth tones with gray tinted glass
and black awnings throughout the entire building. White striping will be utilized
to accent the earth tones. The proposed colors appear to blend well with the
existing buildings on the Union Crossings site.
Grading and Drainage. Regarding grading and drainage for the site, the City
Engineer has provided the following comments:
I. Show all existing private and public utilities
2. The City prefers 2% slopes for cross drainage in the parking areas.
3. Show the existing topo on the north part of the site up through the railroad
tracks.
4. Show drainage and utility easements.
5. A SWPPP should be provided with the final construction submittal.

Utilities. Regarding the utility plan subbitted, the City Engineer has provided the
following comments:
1. The existing watermain stub is an 8-inch, not 6-inch as noted.
2. Hydrants will need to be adjusted per City detail plate # 2001.
3. The 6-inch sanitary sewer service should have a minimum 1 % slope.
4. Sanitary sewer sampling manholes are required for each building therefore
add another MH downstream of sanitary MH-2 within the easement or
move sanitary MH-2 into the easement.
5. Revise the note where connecting to the existing sanitary sewer to use the
existing slope to the next manhole instead of adjusting the slope in the
field. Minimal deflection is allowed in the pipe.
6. It may be beneficial to align the storm sewer to the south within the
driveway to avoid conflicts with a future building location.
7. Show drainage and utility easements.
8. All catch basins should have a minimum 4' build to prevent invert
freezinglblockage.
9. Construct outside drops with sanitary MH-1.
10. Additional hydrant(s) may be required. City Fire Chief to review.
Additional engineering comments include the following:
.
Civil Details:
1. Include City detail plate #3002 for the outside drop.
Plat:
2. The final plat should be revised (see attached easement sketch) to include
an additional 10 foot drainage and utility easement along the sanitary
sewer mainline.
3. Drainage and Utility Easement is missing between lots 2 and 3.
Site Plan:
4. Replace the note for existing sidewalk to state "pathway".
5. The mapping in the location map needs updating.
6. Callout the offset for the curb within the drive-thru bypass lane on the
west side oflot 1.
7. Update City Standard Plates.
8. Add City Standard Plate No. 2001, Typical Hydrant Installation.
9. Add City Standard Plate No. 5015, Gravel Construction Entrance.
10. Revise "?" to degree symbol in 45? in "ADA Parking Stall Layout".
11. Handicap parking signs must be mounted at a lower height to be compliant
with ADA rules. Revise both sign details accordingly.

Planning Commission Agenda- 03/06/07

Consideration of a request for an amendment to the Monticello Zoninl!: Ordinance
Section 2-2 [PJl defininl!: public sil!:ns and an amendment to Section 3-9 rel!:ulatinl!:
sil!:US to address off-site. Quasi-public sil!:Us. Applicant: City of Monticello (NAC)
BACKGROUND
The City of Monticello has applied for an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to
broaden the definition of "public signs", as defined in Section 2-2 [PJ]. The request
would broaden the subject definition to allow off-premise signs for quasi-public uses.
The City is responding to a request made by the American Legion for an off-premise
directional sign. The American Legion building, located at 304 Elm Street, is not
visible from any major thoroughfares in the City of Monticello. This organization is
therefore requesting a directional sign to direct visitors to their somewhat obscure
location. The exact design and location of the requested directional sign have not
been identified at this time.
ANALYSIS
The Zoning Ordinance currently allows such signs as Public Signs within the A-a, R-
1, R-2, R-3, R-4, and PZR districts. The definition of "Public Sign" currently reads,
Signs of a public, non-commercial nature, to include safety signs,
danger signs, trespassing signs, traffic signs, signs indicating scenic or
historical points of interest, memorial plaques, and the like, when signs
are erected by or on order of a public officer or employee in the
performance of official duty.
In order to accommodate the American Legion's request, the definition of
"Public Sign" would need to be modified to include signs indicating locations
of buildings for civic interest groups.
The American Legion is a non-profit organization, as established in Section
SOI(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, the organization does
perform functions similar to that of a commercial business. The Monticello
American Legion contains a bar which operates as a commercial entity. The
organization also conducts charitable gambling through the sale of pull-tabs.
While the American Legion is a civic interest group, the proposed sign may
not fit the definition, which restricts public signs to uses of a "non-
commercial" nature. Any modification to the "non-commercial" clause of the
definition would change the nature of the definition in its entirety. Therefore,
broadening the definition to include civic interest groups may still exclude the
American Legion from this definition.
.
Planning Commission Agenda- 03/06/07
Size. As the code currently reads, size limitations for public signs follow the
same parameters established for pylon signs. As such, signs up to 175 square
feet may be erected, if the speed limit allows. Some larger public signs do
exist in the City and therefore, the existing language may be appropriate.
However, staff recommends that more restrictive size regulations be
established for public signs for non-governmental organizations, if the City
chooses to broaden the definition. For non-governmental organizations, such
as the American Legion, limiting the face area of direction signs to 18"x24"
may be more suitable. The proposed size is modeled after a similar sign
ordinance amendment considered by the Planning Commission on October 6,
1980. Such signs would also be consistent with the common recreational use
or "point of interest" signs found on public roads.
Staff also recommends that each non-governmental organization be limited to
one off-premise sign, green in color with white lettering. A sample ordinance
to accommodate this change may be found attached as Exhibit B. This
amendment only needs to be considered if the City chooses to broaden the
definition of "Public Sign."
.
Zoning Districts. Regardless of whether or not the definition is expanded,
staff believes some minor modifications to the regulations regarding public
signs are necessary. As the code currently reads, public signs are only
permitted in the A-O, R-l, R-2, R-3, R-4, and PZR districts. Staff
recommends that this provision be removed from the "district regulations"
portion of the Ordinance to allow public signs in all zoning districts instead.
A corresponding amendment has been prepared and may be found attached as
Exhibit C.
Code Search. As a measure of comparison, staff performed a code search of area
cities for examples of ordinance language relating public signs.
The City of Big Lake defines public signs as, "any public notice or warning required
by a valid and applicable federal, state, or local law, regulation, or ordinance; signs of
a non-commercial nature and in the public interest, erected by, or on the order of a
public officer in the performance of public duty such as directional signs, regulatory
signs, warning signs, public signs for parks, public buildings and informational signs.
.
The City of Otsego allows public signs as, "any signs in the public interest, erected
by, or on the order of, public officers in the performance of their public duty, such as
directional signs, regulatory signs, warning signs, and informational signs and all
warning signs posted by public utilities whether or not such signs are in the public
rights-of-way."
2
.
Planning Commission Agenda- 03/06/07
Results from these and other cities demonstrate that most area cities do not contain a
specific provision in their zoning ordinances to allow any non-governmental
organizations to erect public signs. These signs are typically allowed strictly for
public uses and buildings and in situations where such signs are necessary for a public
notice or other public purpose.
Broadening the parameters of the ordinance may solicit similar requests from other
civic organizations, including, but not limited to, the VFW, the Monticello Jaycees,
the Monticello Masonic Lodge and the Monticello Lions Club. All are similar civic
interest groups which may qualify for an off-premise sign under the proposed
amendment.
CONCLUSION
.
In regard to the proposed Ordinance Amendment, the City should carefully consider
whether or not the nature of the proposed use is generally consistent with the intent of
the existing definition. In other words, the City should consider whether or not the
American Legion fits the description of being non-commercial in nature. The City
should also consider the potential increase in requests for off-site directional signs
that may result from this amendment.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
A. Regarding the request for an amendment to Section 2-2 [PJ], attached as
Exhibit A, and the corresponding amendment to Section 3-9 [E]I(b), attached
as Exhibit B, the City has the following options:
1. Approve the amendment to permit off-site directional signs for civic
organization as proposed, based on a finding that the amendment is
consistent with the intent of the regulations of the Zoning Ordinance
relating to signage.
2. Deny the proposed amendment to permit off-site directional signs, based
on a finding that the requested amendment is not consistent with the
intent of the Zoning Ordinance.
3. Motion to table the request for further study.
.

.
Planning Commission Agenda- 03/06/07
B. In addition to the proposed amendment to broaden the definition of "public
signs", staff has prepared an amendment that would permit such signs in all
zoning districts. Regarding this amendment, attached as Exhibit C, the City
has the following options:
I. Approve the amendment to Section 3-9 of the zoning ordinance to allow
public signs in all zoning districts.
2. Deny the request for an amendment to Section 3-9 of the zoning
ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION
.
Regarding the request to broaden the definition of "Public Sign", the City should
consider the nature of the use of the American Legion, and whether it fits the
description of being non-commercial in nature. If the City believes the proposed
amendment is appropriate, staff recommends that any off-premise directional sign for
a non-governmental use should be limited to a face area not to exceed 18"x 24".
Staff also recommends that each non-governmental organization be limited to one
off-premise directional sign each.
Regardless of whether or the City chooses to broaden the subject defmition, staff
recommends approval of the amendment proposed in Option B above. As the
ordinance currently reads, public signs are only allowed in agricultural and residential
districts. A number of non-conforming situations may exist with public signs located
in business districts or other districts within the City. Staff recommends that public
signs be added to the list of permitted signs under Section 3-9 [B] 1, which would
allow them to be erected in all zoning districts.

Consideration of a request for an amendment to the Monticello Zonine Ordinance
Section 3-3 IF! relWlatine front vard setback averaeine. Applicant: City of
Monticello (NAC).
The Planning Commission considered this item at their December 5, 2006 meeting,
and recommended approval of Alternative 2, amending Section 3-3 IF) of the
Zoning Ordinance only. The recommended amendment would delete the averaging
clause for front yard setbacks in all residential districts. The Commission expressed
concern that the creation of an overlay district would affect few properties, and may
not be necessary. The Commission determined that deleting the averaging clause
would be an effective control for maintaining uniformity.
The City Council considered this item at their January 22, 2007 meeting and
recommended tabling the item. The Council was concerned that the residents
affected by this amendment may not have been aware of the implications of the
proposed amendment, or whether an overlay district would be a desired substitute.
The Council tabled this item to call for a second public hearing at the Planning
Commission level, focusing on the overlay district.
The City has recently reviewed a request from a property owner on River Street to move
a single family home off a lot and rebuild, with the new home located closer to the front
yard setback line than the original building footprint. Upon reviewing the request, it was
determined that the proposed location would not be permitted, due to a clause in the
ordinance establishing an averaging requirement for front yard setbacks.
The minimum front yard setback requirement in the R-I District is current established at
30 feet. The subject proposal meets this requirement. However, the Zoning Ordinance
contains additional restrictions for front yard setbacks, establishing a maximum setback
requirement, as well as a minimum.
Section 3-3 of the Zoning Ordinance pertains to yard requirements, including all
requirements for front yard setbacks. Section 3-3 (F) specifically contains a provision for
front yard setbacks in residential districts with adjacent structures. This section states,
"In residential districts where the adjacent structures exceed the
minimum setbacks established in subsection [C} above. the
minimum setback shall be thirty (30) feet plus two-thirds (2/3) of
the difference between thirty (30) feet and the setback or average
setback of adjacent structures within the same block. "
1
.
Planning Commission Agenda - 03/06/07
The existing ordinance presents a number of application issues. As the ordinance reads,
the maximum setback allowed for each lot is contingent upon the setbacks of the adjacent
structures on the block. In that manner, each time a home is altered in any way that
results in a new setback, the average setback for the block changes. Essentially, the
actions of one homeowner dictate the building envelope of the adjacent property owners.
As such, the ordinance is highly difficult to enforce. This Section was initially adopted to
encourage uniform site lines along all city blocks. However, staff believes a more
effective control for maintaining uniformity may be established.
The ability to maintain setback uniformity is particularly a concern along River Street,
due to the nature of the properties and the unique natural features of the area. The
majority of homes along River Street greatly exceed the required minimum setback, in an
effort to place homes close to the riverfront. As such, any home proposing to simply
meet the minimum requirement may result in extreme staggering of homes along the
street. The averaging technique may have maintained some uniformity in this regard, but
as explained above, is highly difficult to enforce.
.
Amendments. To address the issue of uniformity, staffhas prepared an ordinance
amendment containing two sections. The first section would simply delete any reference
to the current averaging technique, and delete any maximum setback limitations.
Removing this provision in the ordinance would apply a uniform setback to all properties,
regardless of the setback of the adjacent structures.
The second section of this amendment establishes an overlay district for properties on
River Street, identified as the "RS" River Street District. This overlay district would be
applied to and superimposed on all properties located on River Street, identified as such
by a corresponding street address. The amendment would establish a more significant
front yard setback for all properties along River Street, and would provide the
opportunity to maintain uniform site lines along both sides of the road, while applying the
same setback for all properties. The regulations and requirements imposed by the "RS,"
River Street, district shall be in addition to those established for the district which jointly
applies.
The proposed amendment is found below, and may be modified at the direction ofthe
Planning Commission and/or City Council.
.

.
Planning Commission Agenda - 03/06/07
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Regarding the proposed amendment to Section 3-3 [F] of the Zoning Ordinance
regulating front yard setback averaging, the City has the following options:
1. Motion to recommend approval of the amendment to Section 3-3 [F] and the
creation of the "RS" River Street District, as prepared below.
2. Motion to recommend approval of the amendment to Section 3-3 [F] only.
3. Motion to deny the ordinance amendment and creation of the "RS" River Street
Overlay District as proposed.
RECOMMENDATION
.
As stated above, the current averaging technique applied to front yard setbacks is
outdated and difficult to enforce. An amendment must be made to the ordinance to apply
a uniform setback to all properties, regardless of the location of adjacent structures. The
proposed amendment was drafted due to inquiry for a property on River Street.
Properties along this street are unique, and have in the past been subject to a setback
averaging regulation. If the setback averaging is still
desired, staff would recommend the use of an overlay district, rather than the problematic
language in the ordinance. As such, a sample ordinance creating an overlay district has
been drafted.
However, an overlay district would only affect a small area of the City. In addition, the
setback averaging (in any form) creates an uneven field for the purposes of applying
zoning rules and for property owners attempting to utilize their property. Therefore, staff
recommends approval of Alternative 2, deleting the averaging clause.

Consideration of the creation of an Interim Amendment to Section 9-1 the City
Code rel!ulatinl! traffic. aUowinl! the City to l!rant permission to the Chamber of
Commerce to place a sil!ll within the City ril!ht-of-wav for a temporary period of
time. Applicant: Chamber of Commerce (NAC)
BACKGROUND
In concert with the Monticello Chamber of Commerce, the City of Monticello is
proposing an amendment to Section 9-1 of the City Code of Ordinances, allowing the
City to grant pennission to the Chamber to place a sign identifying various downtown
businesses within the City right-of-way. The purpose of the sign is to test whether a
more pennanent sign at this location would be of benefit to the businesses in the
downtown area. The sign would be allowed for a period of time not to exceed six
months. The proposed location of the sign is at the intersection of Highway 25 and
West Broadway Street, adjacent to the Chamber of Commerce kiosk.
The City established a sign committee in 2006 for the purpose of exploring the
signage needs of business owners, particularly in the CCD District. At the
committee's December meeting, members proposed the option of installing a
sandwich board sign on the Chamber of Commerce site for a temporary period of
time. Downtown business owners would be allowed to rent the sign for specific
periods of time to advertise their business, as scheduled by the Chamber of
Commerce. The proposed sign would be a sandwich board sign, allowed for a period
of six months.
In order to accommodate this temporary use, staff recommends a temporary City
Code amendment that grants the City the ability to place a sign in the right of way,
irrespective of the zoning regulations. This sign is intended as a trial concept, and
therefore a temporary City Code amendment may be more appropriate than creating
an interim use clause in the Zoning Ordinance and granting a temporary permit. The
proposed temporary ordinance will contain a specific tennination date and the
ordinance will expire at that time. Upon expiration, the City may effectively evaluate
ifthe sign has had any effect on downtown businesses. The City may also review any
potential safety concerns associated with having the sign at the busy intersection of
Highway 25 and West Broadway Street.
Following the test period, the City will be able to consider whether a more pennanent
sign would be beneficial in this location.
Staff has prepared the following amendment to the City Code, establishing specific
parameters for allowing this sign in the specified location. The proposed amendment
may be modified at the direction of the Planning Commission.
