4. Reports
a. Economic Development
City Engineer Position – Jeff O’Neill reported that City Engineer Bruce Westby had
recently taken a position with the City of Ramsey. Staff has been evaluating the scope
IEDC Minutes - 4/02/13
of the position to develop a strategy for distributing the workload and determining a
longer term plan to handle duties. The fact that WSB contractor Brett Weiss has
significant familiarity with past and ongoing Monticello engineering projects will help
to smooth the transition. There was some discussion about the importance of
maintaining a staff position to administer the overall City engineering effort and
oversee the services provided by contract. There was also some concern noted about
the tight and costly job market for such a position. Joni Pawelk suggested that
transportation remain a priority for the City.
Economic Development Position – The City Council and the EDA will meet to
clarify the scope and details of contracting with WSB to provide an economic
development professional to market Monticello (along with other communities) to
prospects throughout the nation.
b. City Council
The City Council will prepare a response to the letter recently received from St.
Henry’s Church regarding the City’s request to move forward with planning for the
Fallon Avenue Overpass. Jeff O’Neill summarized that, although current church
leadership agree that the 7th Street road improvements are necessary, they question the
validity of the previous property agreement. Negotiations will continue.
c. Chamber of Commerce and Industry
Chamber Assistant Director Rachel Wernsing’s last day on the job will be April 12th.
Event coordinator from River City Extreme, Marcie Anderson, will step into the
position at that time. Staff has identified a process for conducting interviews for the
Grow MN update.
d. TAC
Staff and elected officials will meet with representatives from Sherburne County to
discuss potential alignment options for a second river crossing on May 8th. Coming
to an agreement between jurisdictions is a critical first step in the planning process.
There was some mention of broadening citizen awareness of this issue by expanding
coverage beyond local newspapers to include local community channels and
Chambers of Commerce.
5. Continued - Comprehensive Plan Update – Economic Development Chapter
The IEDC had asked for additional time to consider the Comprehensive Plan update to
Chapter 2, Community Context and Chapter 4, Economic Development which had been
presented at its April meeting. IEDC representative Wayne Elam, who had participated in
the small group involved in revising the document, summarized that the economic
development emphasis had shifted since 2008. Recent discussions had led to the
conclusion that, rather than looking to attract bio-science industries, Monticello recraft its
IEDC Minutes 4/02/13
3
vision to build on its current strength of attracting and retaining manufacturing industries to
the community. It was also noted that Monticello’s logo should be prominently featured on
the Comprehensive Plan document and others that are to be handed out to prospects.
DICK VAN ALLEN MOVED TO RECOMMEND THE ADOPTION OF THE
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTER 2 - COMMUNITY CONTEXT AND
CHAPTER 4 - ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE 2008 MONTICELLO
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. RICH HARRIS SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION
CARRIED 10-0.
6. Consideration to review Building Materials Requirements (Monticello Zoning
Ordinance) for Industrially Zoned Properties
Monticello Zoning Ordinance regulations may not reflect the intent of IEDC members
involved in re-drafting code changes related to building materials standards in industrially
zoned properties due to a clerical error. In an effort to complete a more extensive code
review, staff asked for further IEDC participation. Wayne Elam and Mary Barger agreed to
assist in developing draft standards for each of the three industrial districts. Staff will
utilize the draft standards to prepare amendments to Monticello Zoning Ordinance Section
4.11(E) – Building Materials, Industrial Requirements.
7. Added items
I-94 Coalition – Bill Tapper shared his concern that traffic congestion on I-94 will
increasingly prohibit local economic and population growth and asked that the IEDC
support the I-94 Coalition’s effort to add a third freeway lane to the west corridor.
There was some discussion about how the MnRoad test section near Albertville may
limit options for road expansion. Local business owners were encouraged to contact
legislators to discuss freeway traffic impacts.
BILL TAPPER MOVED THAT THE IEDC RECOMMEND THAT THE CITY
COUNCIL JOIN THE I-94 COALITION. WAYNE ELAM SECONDED THE
MOTION. MOTION CARRIED 10-0.

4. Economic Development Report
Economic Development Services
On Wednesday, May 8th at 5:00 PM (in the Mississippi Room), the EDA will be holding a
workshop for the purpose of reviewing the economic development services proposal
presented to the City by WSB & Associates.
The proposal concept – “Market Matching” – was previously presented to the EDA and City
Council in a joint workshop on April 22nd. After the session, further discussion and input on
the concept was requested by representatives of both the City Council and EDA.
As such, the May 8th workshop will be designed to walk through the economic development
process, from the starting point of asset identification for the community to the time when the
key is turned on a new business location in Monticello. We will be working to identify how
the WSB proposal fits our current (and desired) process, where potential gaps may exist, and
how such gaps could be filled should the City/EDA choose to try the WSB proposal.
The EDA and Council invite IEDC members to attend and participate in the workshop, and
welcome your feedback as part of this process. Chamber of Commerce and ReSTOREing
Downtown representatives have also been invited to attend.
Additional information and questions on this topic can be addressed during the IEDC
meeting.
I-94 Coalition Update
In April, the City Council was asked to consider a request by the I-94 Coalition to consider
membership in the organization. The Council did not take action on the item at that time,
instead requesting additional information in response to questions regarding how membership
funds were utilized, how road improvement projects along the I-94 corridor were prioritized,
and the MnRoad facility’s impact on the potential six-lane expansion to Monticello.
In that regard, I-94 Coalition representatives, including St. Michael City Administrator Steve
Bot, will be present at the April 13th Council meeting to respond to these questions.
A request to recommend to the City Council that Monticello become a member community in
the Coalition was brought up on the floor of the April 13th EDA meeting. The EDA did not
approve such recommendation, citing some of the same concerns.
IEDC members can learn more about the I-94 Coalition and their recent activities at:

In a separate, but related note, Mayor Clint Herbst had the opportunity to testify before the
Senate Transportation and Public Safety Finance Division on this important issue. Mayor
Herbst stressed that a six-lane system would benefit local economic development, provide
connectivity in both regional and state transportation systems and add value by maximizing
transportation investments already in place.

TH 25 Mill & Overlay - 2014
MnDOT representatives have contacted the City with news that the TH 25 expansion project
in Monticello (from the Kjellberg Manufactured Home Park to County Road 106) has
unexpectedly received additional funding, which will be used to complete a mill and overlay
on TH25 from I-94 to where the lane expansion project begins south of Kjellberg’s. MnDOT
is in the initial planning phases for coordination on that improvement and will provide
additional information as the project moves forward.
MnDOT will also be making pedestrian ramp upgrades on both sides of the highway as part
of the project. MnDOT has indicated that they will be completing a 6’ concrete sidewalk
from Oakwood to Chelsea Road as part of this project. The sidewalk will lie completely
within the ROW and will be constructed fully at MnDOT’s expense. This is an important
improvement, as it provides pedestrians the opportunity to proceed from the current terminus
at the end of the I-94 bridge, to the bituminous pathway on the south side of Chelsea. They
will now also be able to cross at the lights on Chelsea to the pathway on the east side of TH
25.
There will be a need for in-depth coordination on this project, as it will occur at the same time
as the I-94 improvements noted below. This could make Monticello tricky to navigate next
IEDC Agenda: 05/07/13

summer. We have received some indication that the mill and overlay component will occur at
night, which will require a separate Council permit.
As always, MnDOT will have a full communication plan developed and will work the local
Chamber and businesses on any business interruptions.
I-94 Acceleration Lane Project - 2014
In 2014, MnDOT will be completing an acceleration lane on I-94 in both directions from the
interchange at 1-94 and TH 25 to the interchange at I-94 and CSAH 18. MnDOT
representative Claudia Dumont has indicated that the project will consist of a full lane
expansion to the south on the eastbound side, while the westbound construction will consist of
a full lane expansion to the center of I-94. This will result in the construction of a concrete
center median. MnDOT’s project planning is such that the construction design will be to the
full six-lane I-94 design from Rogers to St. Cloud through Monticello.
TAC Update
The Transportation Advisory Committee will be meeting on Thursday, May 9th. The group
will be asked to reconsider strategy as related to progress forward on both the Fallon Avenue
overpass and second river crossing initiatives.
STEM Tour
Due to the number of snow days this year, Jim Johnson has asked that the IEDC postpone its
tour of the MHS STEM robotics program until next year. The cancellation of school has
forced schedule shifts that have impacted this program. We’ll keep the tour on the docket.
Per previous IEDC direction, future tours of Monticello industries will be coordinated with
the GrowMN program.
Building/Development Activity
Dollar Tree, previously approved under a CUP by the City, is in for building permit and will
be under construction in early May.
Staff have received many inquiries regarding the activity occurring on the lot south of
PetSmart at the Union Crossings development. Although Ryan Companies has put up erosion
control fencing on the lot, no development is confirmed by Ryan reps at this time.
It should be noted that the City approved an amendment to PUD for additional inline retail at
the site in 2007. As such, if the development proposal submitted by Ryan for the lot east of
PetSmart) is substantially consistent with the 2007 approval, no additional City approvals will
be needed as related to the PUD. A final plat may be needed should any future user wish to
split the existing platted lot. This would require only Council review and approval.
The Department of Building Safety & Code Enforcement reports 12 new housing permits
issued or in for review to-date.
IEDC Agenda – 05/07/13

5. Consideration to recommend an amendment to the Monticello Zoning Ordinance,
Chapter 4, Section 11 – Building Materials for Industrial Zoning Districts. (AS)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
As discussed during the April IEDC meeting, staff is proposing to amend the
Zoning Ordinance as related to building material requirements for industrial uses.
This amendment is proposed both to correct what is believed to be a clerical error
in the ordinance, and to establish needed requirements in the I-1 (Light Industrial)
and I-2 (Heavy Industrial) zoning districts.
The IEDC is asked at this time to make a formal recommendation to the Planning
Commission regarding the proposed amendment.
To follow is information related to both the ordinance correction and the proposed
standards for the IBC, I-1 and I-2 Districts. The information comes directly from
the report prepared for the Planning Commission. It should be noted that some of
this information was previously provided to the IEDC.
In the re-drafting process for the zoning ordinance, a small group of IEDC
members was involved in reviewing code changes as they related to industrially
zoned properties. Part of their review included building materials standards. The
previous version of the zoning ordinance included no regulation on material types
for I-1 and I-2 industrial districts.
In encoding the language for the building materials requirements, it appears that a
clerical error was made in the final drafting of the text. As such, the regulations
may not reflect the small group’s direction as related to required materials for
industrial districts.
The code under Section 4.11 (E) currently reads:
(1) In the Industrial and Business Campus District (IBC), the Light Industrial District
(I-1) and the Heavy Industrial District (I-2), the following building materials and
standards shall apply:
(a) Any exposed metal or fiberglass finish on all buildings shall be limited to no
more than fifty (50) percent of any one wall if it is coordinated into the
architectural design. Any metal finish utilized in the building shall be
aluminum of twenty-six (26) gauge steel, the roof slope shall be limited to a
maximum of one (1) in twelve (12) slope.
(b) All buildings constructed of curtain wall panels of finished steel, aluminum,
or fiberglass shall be required to be faced with brick, wood, stone,
IEDC Agenda – 05/07/13
2
architectural concrete cast in place or pre-cast panels on all wall surfaces.
(2) In the Light Industrial (I-1) and Heavy Industrial (I-2) districts, the following
building materials and standards shall apply:
RESERVED
Staff believes, based on recollection of the small group’s discussion, that section
(1) above was intended to apply only to the IBC district. Further, Section (2) for
Light and Heavy Industrial Districts was intended to remain “Reserved” until new
standards could be developed at a later date by the small group.
In summary, the ordinance should have read as follows:
1. In the Industrial and Business Campus District (IBC), the Light Industrial District
(I-1) and the Heavy Industrial District (I-2), the following building materials and
standards shall apply.
(a) Any exposed metal or fiberglass finish on all buildings shall be limited to no
more than fifty (50) percent of any one wall if it is coordinated into the
architectural design. Any metal finish utilized in the building shall be
aluminum of twenty-six (26) gauge steel, the roof slope shall be limited to a
maximum of one (1) in twelve (12) slope.
(b) All buildings constructed of curtain wall panels of finished steel, aluminum,
or fiberglass shall be required to be faced with brick, wood, stone,
architectural concrete cast in place or pre-cast panels on all wall surfaces.
2. In the Light Industrial (I-1) and Heavy Industrial (I-2) districts, the following
building materials and standards shall apply:
RESERVED
Although the Planning Commission could take action on a limited scope
corrective amendment as noted above, staff instead requested the assistance of the
Industrial and Economic Development Committee (IEDC) to complete a more
extensive code review to eliminate the “Reserved” component all together.
Draft Ordinance #578 reflects the recommendation of the IEDC small group,
which included Wayne Elam and Mary Barger. The language for materials
graduates from less restrictive to more restrictive as the districts progress from
heavy industrial (I-2) to Industrial & Business Campus (IBC). The I-2 and I-1
districts still allow for primarily metal buildings, but do require some finish detail
for those facades along public rights of way.
Due to the allowance for a combination of both industrial and commercial uses,
IEDC Agenda – 05/07/13
3
the IBC district mirrors closely the materials requirements for business district
buildings and allows no exterior metal finishes, with the exception of architectural
or design detail metal.
The IEDC small group was careful in their consideration to suggest standards
which would not be overly restrictive for existing businesses seeking to expand at
their current location. At the same time, the small group recognized the need to
create standards for each district which were reflective of the purpose statement
for each district. In an initial analysis of Monticello’s industrial building
inventory, many of the existing buildings currently meet (or exceed) the proposed
code standards relative to their district. Even within the I-2 District, it was noted
that many of the existing buildings include façade detail in either wall plane
differential or material.
For the IEDC’s reference, staff has included both a clean copy of the proposed
standards as well as the actual draft ordinance document. Also included is the
current zoning map, ordinance purpose statement for industrial districts, and
images of industrial buildings throughout the community
The IEDC’s recommendation on the language, including any proposed revisions,
will be brought forward to the Planning Commission as part of the public hearing,
which will be held on Tuesday, May 7th at 6:00 PM.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. Motion to recommend to the Planning Commission the adoption of Ordinance
#578, and Ordinance amending Title 10 of Monticello Zoning Ordinance
Section 4.11(E) – Building Materials.
2. Motion to recommend to the Planning Commission the adoption of Ordinance
#578, and Ordinance amending Title 10 of Monticello Zoning Ordinance
Section 4.11(E) – Building Materials, subject to revisions as proposed by the
IEDC.
3. Motion of other.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance amendments. Staff believes that the
City, with assistance from the IEDC, should amend the code to address building
materials standards for each of its industrial districts. Doing so is in the interest of
providing clear and definitive guidance to industrial users and prospects
