CITYOFMONTICELLO ____________________________ ClintHerbst,Mayor ATTEST: _____________________________ JeffO’Neill,CityAdministrator VOTINGINFAVOR: VOTINGINOPPOSITION: CHAPTER 2: APPLICATION REVIEWS AND PROCEDURES Section 2.4 Specific Review Procedures & Requirements Subsection (C) Variances City of Monticello Zoning Ordinance Page 23 (b) City Council The City Council may hold a public hearing on the amendment if deemed necessary by the Community Development Department. After consideration of the Planning Commission recommendation and/or hearing, if applicable, the City Council may adopt the amendment or any part thereof in such form as it deems advisable. The amendment requires the approval of four-fifths of all the members of the City Council. (5) Approval Criteria Recommendations and decisions on zoning amendments shall be based on consideration of the following criteria: (a) Whether the proposed amendment corrects an error in the original text or map; or (b) Whether the proposed amendment addresses needs arising from a changing condition, trend, or fact affecting the subject property and surrounding area. (c) Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with achieving the goals and objectives outlined in the comprehensive plan. (C) Variances (1) Purpose and Scope The Variance process is intended to provide limited relief from the strict requirements of this ordinance in those cases where strict application of a particular requirement will create an unnecessary hardship due to circumstances unique to the individual property under consideration. It is not intended that Variances be granted to allow a use not permitted by the underlying zoning district, nor to merely remove inconveniences or financial burdens that the requirements of this ordinance may impose on property owners in general. Variances are intended to address extraordinary, exceptional, or unique situations that were not caused by the applicant’s act or omission. (2) Initiation of Proceedings Variances shall be initiated by an owner of property or an authorized representative of an owner pursuant to Section 2.3(B), Authority to File Applications. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz City Council DECISION PUBLIC HEARING & Board of Adjustment Recommendation Community Development Department Review & Recommendation VARIANCE Complete Application CHAPTER 2: APPLICATION REVIEWS AND PROCEDURES Section 2.4 Specific Review Procedures & Requirements Subsection (C) Variances Page 24 City of Monticello Zoning Ordinance (3) Application (a) All applications for a Variance shall be in accordance with Section 2.3, Common Review Procedures & Requirements. (b) In addition to the common review requirements, applications for a Variance shall also include the following: (i) A written narrative demonstrating that the criteria for a variance as set out in Section 2.4(C)(4)(a) have been met. (ii) A site plan of the property showing all information necessary to allow the City to determine conformance with all zoning provisions, and to calculate the specific variance being requested. Information shall include but not be limited to: 1. Property and structure dimensions; 2. Setback dimensions/measurements; 3. Parking and access locations and dimensions; (iii) If deemed necessary by the Community Development Department, a survey may be required to be submitted with the application in addition to a site plan. (4) Review (a) Variance Criteria Approval of a Variance may only be made upon a determination that undue hardship will result based on all of the following criteria: (i) The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if the provisions of this ordinance are strictly applied. (ii) The circumstances rendering the property unusable are unique to the property. (iii) The circumstances rendering the property unusable were not created by the owner thereof. (iv) A Variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. (v) Economic considerations alone shall not constitute a sufficient basis for a Variance if reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of the regulation. Section 2.3: Common Review Requirements MN Statute 462.357 (6)(2) variances CHAPTER 2: APPLICATION REVIEWS AND PROCEDURES Section 2.4 Specific Review Procedures & Requirements Subsection (C) Variances City of Monticello Zoning Ordinance Page 25 (b) Board of Adjustment and Appeals Before any variance is approved, the Board of Adjustment and Appeals shall hold at least one public hearing after proper notice has been issued in accordance with Section 2.3(I). Following the hearing, the Board of Adjustment and Appeals shall consider the request(s) against the variance review criteria outlined in Section 2.4(C)(4)(a) and take action on the request(s). In approving a variance, the Board of Adjustment and Appeals may impose conditions on the approval as are deemed appropriate to ensure compliance with the approval and to protect adjacent properties. Denial of any request shall be accompanied by findings of fact at to how the request did not meet one or more of the review criteria. (c) Appeal of Variance Decision Decisions of the Board of Adjustment and Appeals are final unless the applicant files a written appeal outlining the basis for the appeal within five (5) business days of the decision. Variance appeals shall be reviewed by the City Council as outlined in Section 2.4(H)(3)(c) subject to the review criteria in Section 2.4(H)(4). (5) Effect of a Variance (a) The issuance of a Variance shall authorize only the particular variation that is approved by either the Board of Adjustment and Appeals or City Council. (b) A Variance, including any conditions, shall run with the land and shall not be affected by a change in ownership. (6) Subsequent Development Development authorized by the Variance shall not be carried out until the applicant has secured all other approvals required by this ordinance or any other applicable chapters or regulations. The granting of a Variance does not constitute, imply, or guarantee the granting of any other such required approval (i.e.: a building permit). (7) Time Limit (a) Unless otherwise specified in the Variance, if a Building Permit has not been secured within six months of the date of the Variance approval, the Variance shall become invalid. Permitted timeframes do not change with successive owners. Section 2.3(I): Public Notification Section 2.4(H)(3)(c): Review [of appeals] by the City Council CHAPTER 2: APPLICATION REVIEWS AND PROCEDURES Section 2.4 Specific Review Procedures & Requirements Subsection (D) Conditional Use Permits Page 26 City of Monticello Zoning Ordinance (b) Upon written request, one extension of six months may be granted by the Community Development Department if the applicant can show good cause. (8) Amendment A Variance may be amended, extended, or modified only in accordance with the procedures and standards established for originally securing the variance. A request for a change in the conditions of approval of a Variance shall be considered an amendment and subject to the full review procedure set forth in this subsection. An additional application fee may be required before consideration of the amendment request. (D) Conditional Use Permits (1) Purpose and Scope The Conditional Use Permit process is intended to provide the City with an opportunity to review a proposed use in order to establish reasonable conditions necessary to ensure compatibility between the proposed location and use and surrounding properties. Approval of a conditional use at a location within a zoning classification does not mean the same conditional use can be conducted on any other parcel with the same specific zoning classification. Every application for a CUP will be individually reviewed on its own merits, and the facts surrounding the subject property will determine the appropriateness of the proposed use.

This is achieved by undertaking a collaborative process that results in a development outcome exceeding that which is typically achievable through the conventional zoning district. If a development proposal does not demonstrate significant public value benefits above and beyond those achievable under a conventional zoning district, the City reserves the right to deny the PUD rezoning and direct the developer to re-apply under the standard applicable zoning district. (2) Initiation of Proceedings Applications for a PUD shall be initiated by application of the property owner or other person having authority to file an application pursuant to Section 2.3(B), Authority to File Applications. (3) Reflection on the Official Zoning Map (a) PUD provisions provide an optional method of regulating land use which permits flexibility in allowed uses and other regulating provisions. In some circumstances, however, rules and regulations governing the underlying zoning district may apply within the PUD. As such, approval of a Planned Unit Development and execution of a PUD agreement shall require the property in question be rezoned to PUD, but the denotation on the official zoning map shall also illustrate the underlying zoning district. Once a PUD has been granted and is in effect for a parcel, no building permit shall be issued for that parcel which is not in conformance with the approved PUD Plan, the current Minnesota State Building Code and all associated documents, and with all other applicable City Code provisions. (b) All PUD rezonings approved prior to the effective date of this ordinance shall retain their zoning classifications of R-PUD, and shall continue to be governed by the ordinance and resolutions which created these areas. (4) Permitted Locations for PUD rezoning (a) A rezoning to PUD may be requested for any residential or commercially zoned area. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz PUD Final Plat PUD Preliminary Plat & Rezoning REVIEW (Staff, applicable Commissions & Council) PUD Preliminary Plat and Rezoning APPLICATION PUD Concept Plan REVIEW (Staff, applicable Commissions & Council) PUD Concept Plan APPLICATION Collaborative Review (Staff, applicable Commissions & Council) PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT Collaborative Process CHAPTER 2: APPLICATION REVIEWS AND PROCEDURES Section 2.4 Specific Review Procedures & Requirements Subsection (P) Planned Unit Developments Page 66 City of Monticello Zoning Ordinance (b) PUDs are prohibited in the industrial districts. (5) Minimum PUD size Rezonings to PUD will not be considered for areas less than 8 acres of land in single ownership or control, except in the following circumstances: (a) Natural features of the land are such that development under standard zoning regulations would not be appropriate in order to conserve such features; (b) The land is intended to be developed in accordance with a prior PUD adjacent to or across the street from the subject property; or (c) The PUD process is desirable to ensure compatibility and careful consideration of the effect of a development on surrounding land uses. (d) The proposal is in the CCD in which case there shall be no minimum land area requirement. (6) Permitted Uses Within PUDs Uses within a PUD shall be governed by the ordinance establishing the PUD and by the conditions, if any, imposed by the City in the approval process and PUD documents. If a specific use is not established or addressed by a PUD ordinance, said use shall be governed by the underlying zoning district regulations. (7) Expectations of a Development Seeking a Rezoning to PUD The provisions of this section are intended to achieve the following public values within a PUD zoning district and associated subdivision: (a) Ensure high quality construction standards and the use of high quality construction materials; (b) Promote a variety of housing styles which include features such as side or rear loaded garages, front porches, varying roof pitches, and four sided architecture/articulation; (c) Eliminate repetition of similar housing types by encouraging a housing mixture which separates the same/similar model of homes by a minimum of two lots; (d) Promote aesthetically-pleasing design which fosters a sense of place within the neighborhood and appears attractive and inviting from surrounding parcels; CHAPTER 3: ZONING DISTRICTS Section 3.4 Residential Base Zoning Districts Subsection (D) R-A: Residential Amenities District City of Monticello Zoning Ordinance Page 89 (D) R-A: Residential Amenities District Section 3.4 (D) R-A Residential Amenities District The purpose of the "R-A" residence district is to provide move up housing in the form of low density, single family, detached residential dwelling units and directly related complementary uses in areas of high natural residential amenities including such conditions as woodlands, wetlands, and significant views.

Date: August 3, 2011 Re: Prairie Road Pond Outlet City of Monticello, MN WSB Project No. 1494-52 City staff requested WSB & Associates, Inc. to review the standing water issues located at the 101 Marvin Elwood Road property and develop recommendations for addressing standing water concerns to adjacent properties in the Balboul Estates development area. The following report represents our findings from the study. GENERAL BACKGROUND The Balboul Estates ponds, which are located between CSAH 75 and I-94, are bound by both the north and south legs of Marvin Elwood Road, Hedman Lane, and Prairie Road as shown on the attached drawings. High water elevations in these ponds and certain adjacent properties have been reported this year. Standing water issues have been most prominent at the 101 Marvin Elwood Road property due to the elevations of the lot and storage building compared to the existing pond outlet in this area at Prairie Road. Although there are not any immediate concerns of the home being flooded, an existing storage building along the west side of the property is subject to inundation because the outlet elevation for the pond is at the same approximate elevation of the storage building. Continued precipitation has exacerbated the problem. The recent rainfall event in late May, 2011 that caused the standing water issues at 101 Marvin Elwood Road produced approximately 3-inches of rainfall in a 24-hour period, which is equivalent to a 2-year rain event. The ground was likely saturated at the time, creating the initial standing water issue. Currently, there is not a defined storm water outlet for the Balboul Estates ponds. The City of Monticello’s Comprehensive Plan identifies the need for the construction of a storm water outlet for the Balbou pond system. The ponds between I-94 and Prairie Road function hydraulically at the same water elevation. A large drainage area (124 acres) south of I-94 enters these ponds via a culvert under I-94. A total of approximately 240 acres drains to these ponds. In order to accommodate a future outlet for this system, a storm sewer pipe was constructed with the 2007 Street Reconstruction Project from the creek north of West River Street that extends east along West River Street and terminates at Hillcrest Park with a pipe stub. This pipe stub was placed to Bruce Westby, PE, City Engineer August 2, 2011 Page 2 C:\Users\cathy.shuman\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\3T9VHFG1\MEMO-b westby-080211-PrairieRdPondOutlet.doc eventually be extended through the east side of Hillcrest Park, south across CSAH 75 and the BNSF railroad to the pond at Meadows Pond, just north of Prairie Road. With the reconstruction of Prairie Road in 2010, staff investigated installing this outlet pipe; however, there had been no reports of flooding on the adjacent properties or in the park at that time. As part of the Prairie Road reconstruction project, the existing culvert that crossed the road at that time was replaced with a storm sewer system that matched the in-place elevations and hydraulic conditions. Because there had been no reports of flooding on the adjacent properties or in Meadows Park at that time, the storm sewer pipe crossing Prairie Road was not modified. Recently, City staff has lowered the northerly side of the culvert across Pra irie Road to alleviate some of the standing water exhibited on the properties south of Prairie Road. However, due to the increased water elevations in the Balboul Estates ponds and adjacent properties, the need for further measures has been investigated. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS We have performed a hydraulic computer model of the pond systems and recommend several improvements, short term and long term, to aid in controlling the water elevations in the Balboul Estates ponds. Short Term Improvements Prairie Road Storm Sewer Crossing We recommend replacing and lowering the elevation of the Prairie Road storm sewer crossing to aid in reducing the surface water inundation in the adjacent properties. The storm sewer crossing would consist of a 24-inch diameter concrete pipe and would be lowered by 1.2 feet to an elevation of 915.3. The bottom of the existing shed at 101 Marvin Elwood Road is at an elevation of 917.4 and the lowest opening in the home is at elevation 919.9. To accommodate this, the existing watermain along Prairie Road will need to be lowered, as it is at the same elevation of the proposed storm sewer. With these improvements, it is estimated to provide a level of flood protection to the existing adjacent homes for a 25-year rain event, with no freeboard, which equates to 4.7 inches of rainfall in a 24-hour period. The estimated construction cost for this work is $25,000. Expansion of the Meadows Pond We reviewed expanding the Meadows Pond located on the north side of Prairie Road to provide more storage to accommodate a larger stormwater event. Based on the current elevations of the pond and amount of storage gained from excavating the pond deeper, it doe s not appear that a significant amount of storage would be gained to alleviate the current standing water issues. Maintenance Activities The 24-inch culvert across Hedman Lane helps equalize the storm water between the adjacent Balboul ponds. It is recommended that the Hedman Lane storm sewer be inspected and any cleaning or maintenance be performed to ensure that the system is performing as designed. Bruce Westby, PE, City Engineer August 2, 2011 Page 3 C:\Users\cathy.shuman\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\3T9VHFG1\MEMO-b westby-080211-PrairieRdPondOutlet.doc Relocation of Structures or Placement of Fill The relocation of the existing sheds at 101 and 103 Marvin Elwood Road should be discussed with the property owners, as these properties exhibited the recent standing water issues. These structures are located in lower lying areas on these properties. Another option would be to place fill in these areas to raise the rear yards and sheds above the area of inundation. These properties have lower lying yards compared to the adjacent properties and it would be recommended to investigate building records to determine if the lots were graded correctly. Impacts to the trees and other landscape features would need to be reviewed and discussed with the property owners if they agree to any filling on their properties. Long Term Improvements Permanent Pond Outlet We recommend monitoring the conditions after each major rain event to determine if and when a permanent outlet for the Balboul Estates and Meadows Pond should be installed. A permanent outlet would consist of installing a 30-inch storm sewer pipe from the Meadows Pond to the existing West River Street storm sewer stub in Hillcrest Park. The 30-inch storm sewer line would need to be constructed with pipe jacking methods under the BNSF Railroad tracks and County Road 75 in order to meet Wright County and railroad requirements. The proposed outlet will serve the entire Balboul Estates development to further help in reducing the surface water inundation in the adjacent properties for larger storm events. With these improvements, it is estimated to provide a level of flood protection to the existing adjacent homes for a 100-year rain event, with 0.5-foot of freeboard, which equates to 5.9-inches of rainfall in a 24-hour period. The estimated construction cost for this outlet pipe is $200,000. The cost includes construction of a manhole that would allow for the future construction of a diversionary structure for a storm water storage chamber at Hillcrest Park. The City could consider a future storm water runoff harvesting facility to help supplement the irrigation for the baseball facility and provide runoff vol ume control for any future Mississippi storm water discharge regulatory requirements. Reduction of Storm Water Discharge south of I-94 The future reduction of storm water discharge rates from areas south of the I-94 corridor to the Balboul Estates ponds is proposed. The installation of future ponding and rate control structures when the area develops is necessary to limit the volume of water and rate of storm water entering the Balboul ponds. The uncontrolled discharge to the existing 24-inch culvert under I-94 should be regulated to ensure that the Balboul Estates ponds and Meadows Pond outlets have the ability to provide flood protection to the existing structures. EASEMENTS Rights-of-entry and easement acquisition from individual property owners may need to be obtained for any drainage improvements proposed in the Balboul Estates area and properties adjacent to Prairie Road. It is anticipated that easements would need to be obtained for properties at 101 and 103 Marvin Elwood Road. If the City was to move forward with acquiring easements, we could provide a detailed analysis to the number of easement acquisitions and estimated costs from each of the individual property owners impacted by the drainage improvements .

The anticipated permits required and the regulatory agencies are listed below: MPCA General Storm Water Permit (NPDES) ........................................ Grading and Storm Water Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF) .......................................... Railroad Right-of-Way Wright County .............................................................................................Roadway Right-of-Way City as Local Government Unit (LGU), US Army Corps of Engineers ........................................................................... Wetland Impacts RECOMMENDATIONS In order to alleviate the immediate concerns of the flooding in the Balboul Estates ponds, we recommend that the City consider constructing the Prairie Road pond outlet and perform any necessary maintenance activities at the Hedman Lane culvert. A discussion with the property owner on filling and moving the existing sheds should also be considered. Construction of this project could start in the spring of 2012. We recommend monitoring the conditions after each major rain event to determine if and when a permanent outlet for the Balboul Estates and Meadows Ponds should be installed.
