Applicant: City of Monticello
Planning Commission Minutes - 6/4/2024
City Planner Steve Grittman provided an overview of the proposed amendment. Steve
Grittman mentioned that the current ordinance was written through the lens of a
salvage yard use and how that us would coexist with existing neighbors. Salvage yards
are no longer an allowed use within the city. Staff felt the language needed to reflect the
updated uses of towing. The amendment would reflect how the City would review the
proposed conditional use permit proposed next on the agenda. Steve Grittman gave an
overview of the updated language including flexibility for future conditional use permit
requests. Updated language includes compliance with 100 year floodplain and no
dismantling of motor vehicles for parts. He stated that the goal of the amendment is to
shift from the salvage yard aspect to the towing aspect, with the understanding a tow
yard may hold vehicles for a certain amount of time, then moved and released to
another location.
Commission Chair Konsor asked for clarity around the height restrictions for fences and
if this requires a minimal height.
Planner Steve Grittman mentioned that screening fences are often 6ft in height, and up
to 8' would be allowable under the code. This would allow for flexibility of needs as
related to site screening.
Councilmember Gabler asked for clarification around business districts for fence height
which is limited to 7' in rear yards, yet this amendment mentions 8'.
Planner Steve Grittman responded that a variance would not be needed, as this
provision is an exception to the 7' high rule.
Commission Chair Konsor asked if other similar services would be affected by this
change and if they need to be notified.
Planner Steve Grittman answered that being a new code, this would apply to existing
wrecking and towing services, and existing businesses would be legally non -conforming.
Commission Chair opened the public hearing portion of the agenda item
Andrew Tapper shared a concern that if this use was a permitted use, how is this code
enforced.
Community Development Director Angela Schumann stated that the city ordinance
requires a change of use form if a site changes use. If a site was changing to a towing
agency, a site plan review would be required with an administrative review process by
staff. That may happen prior to or concurrent with a building permit as needed.

B. Consideration of a Request for Conditional Use Permit for Wrecker & Towing Services
as a Principal Use in the B-3, Highway Business District
Applicant: Nick Christenson
City Planner Steve Grittman gave an overview of the site. Steve Grittman stated that this
location has been operating as an automobile and storage and repair facility for quite
some time. The applicant is looking to clarify the ownership and operation. As staff
reviewed the code for this use, staff noted the outdated code as addressed above with
the amendment. Staff felt the B-3 district was consistent with the applicant's use of the
site.
Steve Grittman provided an overview of the request, stating that the intent of the
conditional use permit appears to be a compatible use for the existing infrastructure and
nearby uses. Steve Grittman reviewed the standards outlined in the proposed ordinance
and the conditions in Exhibit Z. These include those related to vehicle storage on site
and the screening of vehicles. Nearby uses in this area are highway and automobile
uses. Staff found this applicant to be in compliance with the permit requirements.
Andrew Tapper asked about the map in the packet, inquiring if the two addresses are
one parcel. Steve Grittman agreed with the one parcel as two addresses. He noted it is a
multi -tenant building.
Chair Konsor opened the public hearing portion of the agenda item.
Paul Konsor read into the record the single write-in statement received. The comment
expressed concern with moving forward with the operations as it relates to street
parking issues. The comment was submitted by the owner of an adjacent property
owner, Jay Morrell.
Parul Konsor stated that parking was addressed in the application and indicated his
thought is that the conditions of approval address the site parking. Paul Konsor asked for
clarity regarding parking on the site in relationship to these concerns. He noted it
appears that the site plan illustrates just one parking spot.
Andrew Tapper echoed this question, requesting clarification on the parking on site in
relation to flat-bed towing vehicles illustrated on the street in the picture, and how this
3
Planning Commission Minutes - 6/4/2024
relates to the written public comment. He noted the road does see a fair amount of
congestion.
Paul Konsor inquired whether the site plan provided has adequate parking for the use
with the known parking needs in the vicinity. He also inquired if there is a definition of
parking.
Steve Grittman gave an overview of the city's definition of parking, uses, duration and
size requirements, and anything over 24 hours of parking is considered storage. The
applicant had indicated to staff that the vehicle equipment for the use would be parked
on -site.
Applicant Nick Christenson stated the photo in the agenda packet is a bit dated and said
there is occasional street parking as operations are occurring.
Parul Konsor asked if the site had enough space for movement of vehicles and to keep
vehicles on -site. Applicant Nick Christenson responded that towing vehicles are parked
inside overnight and that there is plenty of parking on -site, but as tow vehicles are
moving on -site, they may be parked on street for a period of time. Paul Konsor stated
that it needs to be the understanding that vehicles are to be parked on -site. The
applicant responded that there is room for the vehicles to be parked inside the fence.
Hearing no other public comment, Paul Konsor closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Gabler asked if there were paved surfaces available for outdoor storage,
and if it needs to be paved if it is not already.
Steve Grittman confirmed that there is a code requirement for paving for storage. He
stated that if vehicles are to be stored, the area will need to be paved

C. Consideration of a Request for Preliminary & Final Plat of Cedar Street Storage;
Revocation of an Existing Conditional Use Permit for Planned Unit Development;
Development & Final Stage Planned Unit Development; Rezoning to Planned Unit
Development
Applicant: Bruce Stainbrook
El
Planning Commission Minutes - 6/4/2024
City Planner Steve Grittman gave an overview of the requests, which relate to a
commercial self -storage facility located in The Pointes at Cedar District, approved as a
result of the adoption of the Small Area Plan. The self -storage use was approved
originally under a conditional use permit for planned unit development. The temporary
storage units on the site were approved through an amendment to the PUD for a 10-
year interim use permit, in anticipation of expansion. The termination date is
forthcoming, and the applicant is seeking approval for a new PUD. The applicant is
seeking approval to build another structure along the south property line and pursue
expansion. To accommodate this expansion, the proposal is to create a new PUD zoning
district that illustrates new structures, replats the property to combine the development
properties into a single parcel and then revoke the prior CUP.
Steve Grittman stated that the policy question is whether the proposed uses meet the
intent of the PUD; whether the result of the project is equal to or better than what
would be allowed under the base code allowances. Mr. Grittman noted that the use as
developed is an existing non -confirming use under The Pointes at Cedar zoning.
Normally, the City would not allow expansion of legal non -conforming uses. The
expansion requires the PUD path.
Steve Grittman noted that the staff report raises questions regarding screening and
buffering on the east and south property lines. With a zero lot line, the applicant
proposal would effectively move the buffering and screening i to the public side of the
property line.
Steve Grittman explained that staff is recommending approval with screening,
maintenance and landscaping addressed along the south and east boundary line. He
explained that the south side of the building would have a stucco finish, creating a
screening of a portion of the site, but a portion of the site would site be visible from
other areas of The Pointes.
Andrew Tapper clarified that the interim use permit allowing the temporary storage
containers is expiring. Steve Grittman confirmed and stated those would be required to
be removed regardless of action on the four requested actions.
Paul Konsor requested that staff provide an explanation for the four decisions. Steve
Grittman walked through the four decisions to be made that evening, the first being the
amendment to the code for a new custom PUD zoning district. The second is considering
the development and final stage PUD for the property. The third is the preliminary plat.
The preliminary and final plat and final stage PUD will go to City Council, and fourth is
revoking the previous conditional use permit.
5
Planning Commission Minutes - 6/4/2024
Ms. Lehner explained that she has some hesitation in making a change for PUD for this
project given The Pointes at Cedar is in its early stages. Andrew Tapper noted that this
piece already exists and then evaluating how to address this existing use within the PUD.
Andrew Tapper stated his concern over the zero lot line and related screening and
fencing. He noted that there is a current fenceline along Dundas and Cedar and how the
proposed project will continue or address that fenceline. He asked if the City allowed for
an "easement" for screening on the City side of the property line, for allowing the
applicant to use public land for screening. There was some discussion about screening
requirements for the east boundary versus the south boundary and the timing of the
screening improvements.
Community Development Director Angela Schumann responded, stating that the
proposed wall along the southern boundary will act as a screening tool on its own, and
that staff is recommending landscaping for additional screening. The screening
recommendation was on the east side, which could be a wall extension or additional
landscaping, which would be similar to their location along west Chelsea. Staff stated
there could be a screening and maintenance agreement prepared for City Council to use
city property for landscaping screening.
Paul Konsor noted that this is an existing use, and so the consideration will need to be
how to address the expansion relative to The Pointes at Cedar. The Commissioners
spoke about how to work with the applicant for a sufficient application, from the aspects
of The Pointes at Cedar, and addressing the termination of the interim permit.
Chair Konsor opened the public hearing portion of the agenda item.
Byron Bjorklund, applicant for StorageLink, addressed the Commission as the applicant
and property and business owner for the subject site. Mr. Bjorklund noted that the
concept meeting previously held for the project guided their planning for this proposal.
They have also been involved with The Pointes at Cedar as existing businesses. Mr.
Bjorklund explained they are trying to fit in with The Pointes project and noted the
existing landscaping on north and west side of the existing site. He noted the existing
landscaping and fencing on the north and west side of the property. It is their desire to
retain flexibility as The Pointes develops. The applicant suggested that the small areas
along the south EFIS wall be cemented for a `clean and neat' look. He noted that the
south EFIS wall will provide screening from Cedar. The applicant stated they would be
willing to vacate Dundas Road as part of their application to be flexible for the project.
He reiterated that using cement along the south line will also prevent weeds. The new
buildings along the zero lot line will provide a screening shield.
L
Planning Commission Minutes - 6/4/2024
Andrew Tapper expressed his appreciation that they had been involved with The Pointes
project. He asked the applicant if they are comfortable with the property without a
separation from the proposed Pointes public spaces.
Mr. Bjorklund stated that it is likely that they might to fence the property in the future.
They have not done so yet as it is surrounded by agriculture, and noted willingness to
shift access points from Dundas Road. He noted that the City will likely want to
landscape against the site with the public park, as well.
Councilmember Gabler and Commissioner Robeck noted that the PUD provides some
measure of ability to continue working with the applicant into the future.
Hearing no further public comment, Chair Konsor closed the public hearing.
Andrew Tapper stated that he is in favor of the concrete surface at the southerly line.
Paul Konsor clarified the comment on future PUD flexibility. He stated that the
conditions for the PUD need to be approved with this application. Councilmember
Gabler noted that the Dundas Road vacation does create the opportunity for future
discussion on the site.
Paul Konsor stated that after discussion and clarification, he is comfortable with the
proposal.
Andrew Tapper asked if there was a single Exhibit Z for all four of the decisions. He
stated that if the Commission is comfortable with the concrete on the south side, then
they need to discuss the other conditions, including the conditions requiring extensive
landscaping, on both the south and east sides.
Community Development Director Angela Schumann clarified that there is an area on
the southeast portion of the lot that is not covered by the proposed building. The
condition is to require landscaping consistent with the biome in that space, as well as
the pockets of the buildings. The next condition for landscaping relates to the eastern
side, that the screening wall could be extended. Angela Schumann asked the
Commission if the maintenance agreement be removed as satisfied with the concrete
and state the landscape and southeast and east be a future condition.
Steve Grittman responded that it would be difficult to hold the applicant to a future
improvement. The current application is the time to apply reasonable conditions. He
stated that conditions waived, should be considered as permanently waived. Steve
Grittman noted that on the east side, staff had suggested a screening wall as a condition
of approval. He also noted that along the south side, it does appear that there would be
enough room for plantings and landscaping. He stated that the proposed landscaping
both provides an appropriate transition to The Pointes, as well as the flexibility granted
7
Planning Commission Minutes - 6/4/2024
by using a PUD. He stated that the City should expect the recommended landscaping as
part of the PUD and departure from code allowances.
The Commission discussed each of the landscaping conditions, noting that there is little
to no room to complete extensive screening on land that is theirs. Commissioner Tapper
also noted that it is likely they may want a fence along this line when the land to the
south develops as a public park.
Andrew Tapper spoke about the anticipated desire for a fence for the applicant to close
off the property, once the surrounding property is developed.
Paul Konsor commented on the conditions as written. If approved, even if in the future
the applicants wanted a fence, the approved conditions would require that the
landscaping should remain.
Andrew Tapper proposed two modifications to Exhibit Z in #3 and #4 to strike the words
"extensive" and "intense".
The other Commissioners agreed, stating that there is a gray area for interpretation of
the language for landscaping, as long as the landscaping is consistent with The Pointes
Community Development Director asked the Commissioners to clarify that they wanted
to have no requirements along the east wall as there is no room for landscaping.
The Commissioner clarified that the point of condition #4 was to require a full screening
wall along the east side of the property, similar to their site along west Chelsea Road.
Andrew Tapper noted that would not be consistent with the existing fenceline along
Cedar.
Paul Konsor asked what the direction would be if this were a new project.
Commissioner Lehner stated it was likely that there would be additional setback,
requirements for screening and landscaping. Teri Lehner noted that if they denied the
new building, they could require the screening. However, as an existing business, that
may not be the right decision.
Commissioner Lehner indicated that the best -case scenario would be to remove
condition #3, but add some landscaping along the southeast portion of the site, and
then some type of screening on the east side of the property. In likelihood, this would
not match The Pointes biomes. Teri Lehner stated that she has come full circle in that
what is discussed as the recommendation is the best -case scenario.
Commissioner Tapper asked if the City required the construction of the east screening
wall, could the construction be delayed until development of The Pointes adjacent.
Steve Grittman stated that is possible but would be a monitoring exercise and
development agreement requirements.
Planning Commission Minutes - 6/4/2024
The Commission discussed the timing and requirement for installation of the east wall at
length, particularly as an existing business.
Community Development Director Angela Schumann reminded the Commission that
there are multiple touch points, securities and compliance checks for planned unit
development.
They discussed striking the words "extensive" and "intense" in the conditions. Ms.
Schumann clarified that the Commission is not seeking improvements along the east
side of the property.
ANDREW TAPPER MOVED TO TABLE ALL FOUR DECISIONS UNTIL FURTHER REVIEW.
Teri Lehner added that the City then would take on the role of building the buffer they
deem necessary. Regarding the buffer on the south side is on the property owner with
the landscaping, line #4 is removed, and the City would be in charge of building the
screening. This allows the development to move forward and for the City to take steps it
deems necessary for screening.
