2. Public Hearings
A. Consideration of a Request for a Conditional Use Permit for Drive -Through Services
as an Accessory Use in the B-3, Highwav Business District - Applicant: Todd Olin
City Planner Steve Grittman provided an overview of the agenda item to the
Planning Commission and the public. The applicant proposed development of a
vacant commercial property for a quick -service restaurant with indoor ordering and
sit-down service, as well as a drive -through lane with an order board. Per the
Monticello zoning ordinance, drive -through services as an accessory are subject to a
Conditional Use Permit. Staff's recommendation as part of the report was for
approval.
Andrew Tapper asked whether it was necessary for this site to have two accesses,
rather than the one proposed off Cedar Street. Mr. Grittman clarified that as long as
the fire department has the circulation necessary to access and maneuver around
the site, a second access would not be necessary.
Councilmember Charlotte Gabler asked if the proposed parking lot would be a
shared lot with the adjacent hotel property. Mr. Grittman clarified that the parking
area would not be shared, and that the existing curb cut on Oakwood Drive East
belonged to that adjacent property.
Councilmember Gabler asked what the height of the proposed pylon sign is. Mr.
Grittman noted that Staff did not receive any detail on a pylon sign, and the
applicant did not request any flexibility from the zoning ordinance standards on
signage. All signage on the property would be subject to those standards and
reviewed as part of their sign permit application.
Councilmember Gabler asked how the applicant planned to separate their�e parking
area from the adjacent property's parking area. Mr. Grittman clarified that a curb
would be installed along that parking lot edge. The applicant would also need to
meet the 6-foot setback from the property line. Mr. Grittman also noted that there
is landscaping proposed to be located within the separation area as well.
Chair Konsor opened the public hearing portion of the agenda item.
Todd Olin, applicant, addressed the Planning Commission and the public. Mr. Olin
clarified that any signage on site would be handled separately through the sign
permit process, and they will meet the standards established in the zoning
ordinance. Mr. Olin also noted that their design team will review the site plan and
see if there is a better location for the trash enclosure.
Chair Konsor closed the public hearing portion of the agenda item.
ANDREW TAPPER MOVED TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT FOR AN ACCESSORY DRIVE -THROUGH FACILITY BASED ON FINDINGS IN
RESOLUTION PC-2024-01 AND SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS IN EXHIBIT Z. PAUL
KONSOR SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY, 3-0.

Addition PUD District, as related to principal residential use for development of 22

Ms. Schumann provided an overview of the agenda item to the Planning
Commission and the public. Prior to the meeting, the applicant reached out to staff
and requested the item be tabled until the February regular meeting of the Planning
Commission, as they are working on revision to the plans originally submitted.
Chair Konsor opened the public hearing portion of the agenda item.
PAUL KONSOR MOVED TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND TABLE ACTION ON
THE REQUESTS TO FEBRUARY 612024 REGULAR MEETING OF THE PLANNING

t-ommunity & economic vevelopment t-oorainator riayaen _�)tensgara proviaea an
overview of the agenda item to the Planning Commission and the public. An annual
update to the City's zoning map and companion appendix maps, the proposed
updates were related to four ordinance amendments that were adopted in 2023
related to property zoning. The 2024 zoning maps would reflect those adopted
ordinances accordingly. Though the following were considered for adoption, there
were no changes to the Shoreland/MWSRR/Floodplain Overlay District map, nor
were there any changes to the Pointes at Cedar District map.
Chair Konsor asked whether the planned unit development district proposed for the
City's new public works facility would be included in any of these updates. Ms.
Schumann clarified that the Planning Commission and City Council have reviewed
the PUD district at its development stage, and the proposed ordinance to be
adopted related to that rezoning takes place following final stage PUD review and
decision. The public works facility development was working on revisions prior to
them submitting for that final stage PUD application.
