E.
~,urns/Little Mountain Feed. Recommendation: Approve rezoning
the Little Mountain Feed site from I-2 to planned unit development
based on the finding that the PUD zoning district will allow the City to
best manage the impacts of the proposed use in conformance with the
comprehensive plan, the proposed uses are appropriate in the City's
efforts to redevelop its downtown area as identified in the MCP Plan,
and the proposed zoning will not have adverse impacts on the
neighboring land uses. SEE ORDINANCE AMENDMENT N0.297.
Approve the issuance of a PUD permit to Little Mountain Feed to
allow the expansion of the loading dock without concurrent site
improvements based on the finding that expansion of the business is
appropriate given the proximity to Sunny Fresh Foods, and the
addition of the loading dock is an insignificant expansion and should
not key the need to provide other site improvements at this time.

Countrv Club.
City Planner Steve Grittman reported that the Monticello Country Club
requested rezoning of a portion of their property from R-1 to R-2, which
would allow a 12-unit townhouse project along a private drive adjacent to the
golf course. The original request proposed a 16-unit project; however, 4 units
were deleted from the plan near the single family homes during Planning
Commission review.
The site proposed is adjacent to the club house entrance drive and would
require relocation of an existing maintenance shed. The neighborhood
adjacent to the area includes an 8-unit townhouse project and a series of
single family parcels known as Club View Terrace. One of the concerns noted
with the original proposal was the impact on area property values since the
existing single family homes and townhomes rely significantly on the view to
the northeast of the golf course; however, the City Planner noted that with
the modified plan, the homes would continue to have anorth/northeast view
of the golf course. It was also noted that the proposed townhouse project
would be of a higher density than the surrounding neighborhood at about 7.0
units per acre.
Page 7
Council Minutes _ 10/].3/97
Assistant Administrator O'Neill reported that the Planning Commission
discussed loss of value, additional traffic, and sight lines during the public
hearing. It was their view that with the removal of the four units east and
north of the R-1 area, the sight lines were essentially preserved. In addition,
it was estimated that 12 units would create 120 vehicle trips per day. Given
the amount of traffic already in the area from golf course use, it was felt the
increase in traffic would not impact the value of the nearby R-1 properties.
Therefore, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning
request.
Mayor Fair noted that letters opposing the rezoning had been received from
the fallowing residents: Matt and Dean Stroemer, Harry Walsh, Alan and
Susie Wojchouski, Gene and Ann Fair, Floyd Markling, and Alois and Alice
Stangler.
Councilmember Clint Herbst noted his concern regarding depreciation of the
present homes in the neighborhood if the area was rezoned to R-2. In
addition, he noted that the comprehensive plan suggests lower density along
the river, golf courses, etc., and it was his view that rezoning this area to R-2
would be a contradiction of the comprehensive plan.
Public Works Director John Simola noted his concern that the layout would
make it difficult far city services such as garbage and recycling pickup to be
performed due to the density.
Attorney Brad Larson, representing Floyd Markling, requested permission to
read a letter to the Council since he was unable to forward his comments to
the Council prior to the meeting. His letter noted concerns of density, traffic,
driveway relocation, road size, design standards, townhome parking, market
values, and setbacks as they would relate to the existing townhomes.
Mayor Fair noted that many of the comments being made pertained more to
specific site development standards and suggested that the discussion
concentrate on the rezoning request at this time.
AFTER DISCUSSION, A MOTION WAS MADE BY CLINT HERBST AND
SECONDED BY BRIAN STUMPF TO DENY THE REZONING REQUEST BASED
ON THE FINDING THAT THE LOCATION OF THE REZONING WOULD TEND TO
DEPRECIATE VALUES OF THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES SINCE IT WOULD
INTERFERE WITH THE VIEW, WHICH IS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF
THOSE VALUES, AND THE REZONING COULD RESULT IN A DEVELOPMENT
WHICH IS MORE DENSE THAN THAT ENCOURAGED BY THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. Vating in favor: Clint Herbst, Brian Stumpf.
Opposed: Bruce Thielen, Bill Fair, Roger Carlson. Motion failed.

Council Minutes - 10/13/97
A MOTION WAS THEN MADE BY BRUCE THIELEN AND SECONDED BY ROGER
CARLSON TO APPROVE THE REZONING FROM R-1 TO R-2 TO ACCOMMODATE
THE DEVELOPMENT OF A TOWNHOUSE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AS
PROPOSED BY THE MONTICELLO COUNTRY CLUB BASED ON THE FINDING
THAT THE PROPOSED ZONING IS CONSISTENT WITH LAND USES IN THE
AREA, IT WOULD RESULT IN DEVELOPMENT WHICH IS NEEDED IN THE
COMMUNITY, AND WOULD NOT LIKELY DEPRECIATE THE AREA IN WHICH
IT IS LOCATED. Voting in favor: Bruce Thielen, Bill Fair, Roger Carlson.
Opposed: Clint Herbst, Brian Suump£ Motion failed, as a 4/5 vote is
required for rezoning approval. The property remains R-1.
8. Consideration of nnmhaainw 'ntnrn w b i a N1CPF.
Assistant Administrator Jeff O'Neill reported that the City recently received
two proposals for internet web site service, one from the Monticello Times,
and the other from Cloud Communications, Inc., operated by Steve Andrews.
He suggested that the Council may want to recommend that City staff
prepare and distribute an RFP prior to selecting a web site service.
Don Smith and Sherri White, representing the Monticello Times, presented a
sample city web site and explained what information could be included.
Mr. Smith noted that they have been online for approximately 1 ~~z years and
could easily help the City establish their web site.
Steve Andrews of Cloud Communications stated that he has been working
with the internet since 1991 and that he could provide web site services mare
cost effectively. He explained that the $6,000 fee in the proposal would not
be an annual fee but fox development of the site. Maintenance of the site was
estimated at $22$ per month.
It was the consensus of Council to table discussion of purchasing internet
web site services until after the 1998 budget workshop.
9. Consideration of an offer tQ„p~arrhaar vacant y~cel adia a . ~ mat of_~c-.
City Administrator Rick Wolfsteller reported that Mr. Charles Ehlen of Cinco
Corporation, owner of the post office facility, submitted an offer of $24,000 far
the purchase of the City-owned vacant parcel adjacent tQ the post office;
however, the purchase price was subject to the City removing all of the trees
and stumps from the property and bringing in the appropriate fill to
establish a grade for construction of a parking lot. In addition, Mr. Ehlen
requested that the City-owned 12-ft strip of land established for driveway
access off of Locust Street also be deeded to Cinco Corporation.
Page 9
Council Minutes - 10/13/97
AFTER DISCUSSION, A MOTION WAS MADE BY CLINT HERBST AND
SECONDED BY BRIAN STUMPF TO ACCEPT $24,000 FOR PURCHASE OF THE
VACANT PARCEL AS IS, INCLUDING THE 12-FT STRIP OF LAND ADJACENT
TO LOCUST STREET, WITH THE BUYER RESPONSIBLE FOR EXPENSES TO
TRANSFER THE PROPERTY. Motion carried unanimously.
lo.
recommendation for School Boulevar__d.
City Administrator Rick Wolfsteller reported that the Monticello Police
Commission previously discussed a letter from the previous School
Superintendent, Sheldon Johnson, requesting establishment of a four-way
stop sign at the intersection of School Boulevard and Fallon Avenue near the
Little Mountain Elementary School. At that time, the majority of the Police
Commission members also supported the installation of a four-way stop sign.
Wolfsteller noted that School Boulevard was planned to be a collector street,
continuous from Highway 25 to County Road 118, with stop signs placed on
Fallon Avenue at School Boulevard. After reviewing a traffic report in 1996
prepared by the Wright County Sheriffs Department, the Council agreed
with the recommendation to post the speed limit on School Boulevard from
Fallon Avenue to County Road 118 at 30 mph when children were present
but did not recommend installation of a four-way stop sign.
The Police Commission recently discussed the intersection due to the
increasing residential housing development that's occurring in the area,
including the future phases of HIein Farms 3rd and 4th Additions, and again
recommended that the City Council consider installing afour-way stop sign
at the School Boulevard/Fallon Avenue intersection. It was their view that
the stop signs were necessary to enable children to safely cross School
Boulevard to reach the elementary and other schools in the area. In a
preliminary pedestrian circulation plan for the area, City Planner Steve
Grittman also recommended that a stop sign maybe needed on School
Boulevard to provide safe crossing far pedestrian traffic. However, the City
Administrator suggested that the Cauncil consider authorizing a traffic
engineer to study the area prior to installing additional stop signs.
The Council discussed the amount and speed of traffic in the area, as well as
the traffic concerns at the County Road 117/Schaol Boulevard intersection.
Enforcement of the posted speed limit and stopping for pedestrians in
crosswalks were also discussed, along with the pathway system proposed for
the HIein Farms 3rd and 4th Additions.
AFTER DISCUSSION, A MOTION WAS MADE BY BRUCE THIELEN TO
AUTHORIZE REVIEW OF THE SCHOOL BOULEVARD/FALLON AVENUE
INTERSECTION BY A TRAFFIC ENGINEER PRIOR TO INSTALLING ANY
ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC DEVICES. Motion died for lack of a second.
Page 10
Council Minutes - la/13/97
City Engineer Bret Weiss recommended that the intersection remain as is
with stop signs on Fallon Avenue because School Boulevard was designed to
be a through street; however, he did agree that there were traffic problems at
the County Road 117/School Boulevard intersection that may need to be
addressed in the future.
Mayor Fair stated that he felt that the design of School Boulevard
encouraged excessive speed, and stop signs would make motorists cognizant
of the speed zone and pedestrians in the area.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY BILL FAIR AND SECONDED BY BRIAN STUMPF TO
INSTRUCT CITY STAFF TO INSTALL AFOUR-WAY STOP SIGN AT THE
INTERSECTION OF SCHOOL BOULEVARD AND FALCON AVENUE. Voting in
favor: Bill Fair, Brian Stumpf. Opposed: Clint Herbst, Bruce Thielen, Roger
Carlson. Motion failed.
Councilmember Bruce Thielen stated that any changes made to traffic
patterns should be based on solid information, which should include a traffic
study now and in the future for comparison.
A MOTION WAS THEN MADE BY BRUCE THIELEN AND SECONDED BY ROGER
CARLSON TO AUTHORIZE A TRAFFIC STUDY TO BE COMPLETED BY A
TRAFFIC ENGINEER FOR SCHOOL BOULEVARD FROM HIGHWAY 25 TO
COUNTY ROAD 11$ BY A TRAFFIC ENGINEER. Motion carried unanimously.
11.
Public Works Director John Simola reported that City staff met with the
Parks Commission to discuss snow removal from the pathways, and it was
concluded that clearing of the pathways for the first year should be limited to
the pathway along County Raad 75 from West River Street near the NSP
Training Center to the east side of Pinewood Elementary School, from the
east side of the Monticello High School to Meadow yak Avenue, and along
the north side of School Boulevard between County Road 118 and County
Road 117.
After surveying 12 communities regarding pathway clearing, it was found
that all of the cities cleared pathways using their own employees or did not
clear pathways at all. None of the cities contracted for pathway clearing;
however, proposals were obtained for contracting snow removal from the
skating rinks and sections of the pathway based an an estimated number of
occurrences. Two bids were received, with the low bid at $21,150.
Page 11
Council Minutes - 10/13/97
Bids were also received For purchase of an MT Trackless and Holder, which
were both demonstrated for the public works department in 1996. Anew
Holder was priced at $73,908.09, and a new MT Trackless at $58,817.83.
Used equipment ranged from $28,755 to $66,722.50. A state bid was also
obtained on a skid steer loader with a hydraulically driven snow blower for
$33,797.78.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY CUNT HERBST AND SECONDED BY BRUCE
THIELEN TO PURCHASE THE STATE BID JOHN DEERE SKID STEER LOADER
WITH SNOW BLOWER AND ANGLE PLOW OPTION AT A COST OF $33,797.78
FOR CLEANING THE SKATING RINKS AND PATHWAYS WITH CITY FORCES,
AND TO CONTINUE LOOKING FOR A SANDER ATTACHMENT IN THE $3,000
TO $4,500 RANGE. Voting in favor: Clint Herbst, Bruce Thielen, Bill Fair,
Roger Carlson. Opposed: Brian Stumpf. Motion carried.
12.
Public Works Director John Simola reported that the City Council recently
discussed the possibility of an additional brush pickup prompted by a letter
from the owners of the Rand House Bed & Breakfast. After reviewing the
amount of brush that was hauled by the City and various groups and
volunteers, it was recommended that the City charge far additional pickups
or allow residents to enter into an agreement with the City for assessing the
cost of the brush pickup. In addition, Simola also suggested that the Council
consider the possibility of burning the brush in the parking lot near the Rand
House if the residents within 600 ft of the burn site agree.
AFTER DISCUSSION, A MOTION WAS MADE BY BRUCE THTELEN AND
SECONDED BY CLINT HERBST TO AUTHORIZE BY CONTRACT AN
ADDITIONAL BRUSH PICKUP FOR THOSE TNDTVIDUALS OWNING LARGE
PROPERTIES STILL REQUIRING CLEANUP FROM THE STORM, WITH THE
FROPERTY OWNER PAYING THE EXPENSE EITHER UP FRONT OR THROUGH
AN ASSESSMENT, OR RESIDENTS COULD PAY FOR THE COST OF THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT AND ASH DISPOSAL TO BURN THE BRUSH. Motion carried
unanimously.
13. ('onaid ration of n w wa pr ra n s reture.
Public Works Director Jahn Simola reported that the DNR has requested
that the City implement water demand reduction measures, which would
include a public education program and an evaluation of the current water
rate structure and its impact on conservation. The City currently uses a
declining block rate structure where the cost of water is cheaper the more you
use, which does not encourage water conservation. Tt was proposed that the
City implement a uniform rate throughout the community as of January 1,
1998.

the Council consider forgiving the 1997 reimbursement payment totaling
$1,600 for their office remodeling at the information center She noted that
the Chamber anticipated a net income of $1,550 From the 1997 Riverfest
celebration; however, because the celebration was delayed due to the July 1
storm, they actually incurred a net loss of $1,214.
