5. Public Hearing - Consideration of a request for Amendment to Development
Stage Planned Unit Development (PUD). Applicant: Sunset Ponds,
LLC /Jensen, Donald (NAC) Planning Case Number: 2014 - 048
Steve Grittman summarized that applicant Don Jensen asked to amend the existing
Planned Unit Development (PUD) in Sunset Ponds 2nd Addition to allow the same
standards on Lots 6, 7, 9 and 10, Block 3 as had been granted the rest of the
subdivision when the PUD was amended in 2012. The previous amendment had
allowed for additional flexibility in home design and construction due to
modifications to the 20% front building materials requirement, garage door width, 5'
garage forward regulation, and overall garage size relative to home footprint.
Charlotte Gabler asked about the amount of side setback on the lots. Grittman
indicated that the required setbacks were appropriate. Gabler also asked if the
commission had discussed staggering the houses to break up the uniform front facade.
Grittman said that the commission had recommended only that the facades meet
zoning setbacks and that architectural treatments differ.
Brad Fyle opened the public hearing.
Applicant Don Jensen, representing Paxmar and Sunset Ponds, LLC, stated that
Paxmar had decided to exclude the lots from the 2012 PUD amendment to allow the
market to determine if the original PUD criteria would be desirable for the four fan -
shaped lots. Jensen pointed out that there had been recent interest in developing a
larger, two -story house on one of the lots under existing PUD criteria. He said that it
made sense however, in terms of uniformity, to move forward with amending the
PUD for all four lots at this time. Jensen confirmed that the amendment would allow
for larger, front- facing garages with a smaller driveway pattern.
Charlotte Gabler asked if there was a way to further spruce up the front of the homes.
Jensen indicated that the homeowners would determine vestibule treatments.
As there were no further comments, the public hearing was closed.
Gabler asked Ron Hackenmueller about the code provisions related to the living
space above the garage. Hackenmueller stated that the bonus room would be treated
as finished square footage.
BRAD FYLE MOVED TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 2014 -111, RECOMMENDING
APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AS RELATED TO RESIDENTIAL DESIGN
STANDARDS FOR T -N (SINGLE- FAMILY) DISTRICT FOR LOTS 6, 7, 9 AND 10
BLOCK 3, SUNSET PONDS 2ND ADDITION, SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS
OUTLINED IN EXHIBIT Z AND BASED ON A FINDING THAT THE
PROPOSED AMENDMENT CONTINUES TO ACHIEVE THE GOALS OF THE
ORIGINAL PUD AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LONG -RANGE GOALS
FOR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AS OUTLINED IN THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. SAM BURVEE SECONDED THE MOTION.
MOTION CARRIED 3 -0.

Steve Grittman noted that WSB & Associates had reviewed local ordinances for
compliance with federal and state requirements mandated for the Municipal Separate
Storm Sewer System (MS4) General Permit and recommended a number of
amendments to the city's zoning and subdivision ordinances. Grittman asked that the
Planning Conunission call for a public hearing to consider the proposed amendments.
Brad Fyle said that he didn't want to see any more rules than were necessary and
asked if the city had the option not to permit. Grittman indicated that the state would
take over local stormwater regulation if the city did not have an approved program.
Gabler asked if the program would include educating homeowners about stormwater
runoff. Grittman suggested that WSB might address the extent to which public
outreach would be a focus in the stormwater program.

7. Added Item
• Cancel Previous Call for December 2nd Public Hearing (Grittman)
Steve Grittman asked that the Planning Commission cancel a call for a public hearing
scheduled for December 2nd to consider a series of minor amendments to the land use
component of the Comprehensive Plan (Comp Plan). This action would allow staff
time to review and amend the zoning ordinance as it relates to notification
requirements for Comp Plan amendments. Although state statute requires only
published public hearing notice for Comp Plan amendments, Monticello's ordinance
requires mailed notice for even the most inconsequential amendments. Grittman
indicated that staff had discussed revising the ordinance to track with state notification
requirements when making minor changes and identifying a threshold at which mailed
notice would be required for more substantive amendments.
CHARLOTTE GABLER MOVED TO CANCEL THE CALL FOR PUBLIC
HEARING RELATED TO COMP PLAN AMENDMENTS SCHEDULED FOR
THE DECEMBER 2ND, 2014 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING UNTIL
COMP PLAN AMENDMENT NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS HAVE
BEEN AMENDED IN THE MONTICELLO ZONING ORDINANCE. SAM
BURVEE SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED 3 -0.
