Agenda item 7. Consideration of Requiring Assessments to be Paid
in Pull upon Building Permit Application.
This item was discussed with our fiscal consultant,
King Porncss of Spri.ngsted, Inc. at our September
12, 1977 meeting. Mr. Porncss recommended the
policy be applied against all properties serviced
with future sewer, water and other city improvements.
Mr. Porncss indicated the purpose behind such a
policy would be that city bonds could be financed
over a shorter period of time thereby improving
the rate of interest and marketability of Monti.cello's
bond issues. I'xamples were sited by Mr. Furness
of metropolitan suburbs that require the developer
to finance city .improvements on raw .land and he
thus felt this particular policy :i.s not that
stringent.
Additi.onal.ly, there was n question whether, this
policy should apply to John Sandberg's new sub-
division plat, Anders Wilhclm Estates. Mr. Sandberg
opposes the poa.i.cy, :i.nd.i.cati,ng he was always led
to believe he would be treated like past developers
and assessments would not be requi-red to be prepaid.
I. beliove this assessment polaey warrants con-

sented along with final approval of the allocation
of Revenue Sharing Funds.

supplement on preliminary budget - both previously
handed out for September 26, 1977 council. meeting.
Agenda Item 9. Consideration of Amending Ordinance Rel_ati.ve to
City Council and Planning Commission Approval. of
Building Permits.
Currently Monticello ordinance Section 4-1-2 relative
to building permits includes a provision that reads
as fol.l.ows:
AU permit applications for other than
single family resi.dent.ial structures shall
be submitted to the Planning Commission
and City Council for approval.
Although it; does not mention the subject, a strict
reading of th.i.s provis.i.on would .i.ndicate a permit
application for m.i.nov repairs would st.i..11 have
to be brought to the Planning Commission and
City Coonc.iA for approval.
I would suggest, a second sentence be added to the
provision, which reads as follows:
`chis provision does not apply to permit;
Applications for vepnirs or vemodrl.i.ng
of st'ruot;ores, when such work will not
edLargo the structure in question.
This provision would then allow permi.l; applien tAoils
of the following nature to proceed w.Lthout Planning
Conuni.ss.i-on and C:il;y Council approval:
1. Adding it parti.t;lon.
2. Adding a bathroom .in the inter.i.or of
All existing building.
i. Adding a door or window.
'I'heso ora just some examples and these would stil l
require a permit but not approval by the Planning
Commission or City Count-L.I. This can become it
_6_
j°/c'/.71
problem since the Planning Commission meets only
once a month on a regular basis.
It should be understood that the applicant for
such a permit would stiI 1 have to adhere to all
applicable building regulations and city ordinances.
If there was a question, the building inspector
could still bring the matter to the Planning
Commission and City Council.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of ordinance amendment.
Agenda Item 10. Consideration of Resoluti.on and order for Pilling
Excavation.
Enclosed, please find a resolution relative to
ordering the filling of an excavation left open
for, more than six months by Mr. Samuel Peraro.
Mr. Peraro has been previously notified in April
and Augurst of the counci I Is request to have the
matter taken care of. Thr_ procedure, aecorcling
to statutes, would be to adopt the resolution and
serve Mr. Peraro w.i.th the order. if the matter
is not resolvecl within IS clays, the city cor.rld have
the work done and assess the property owner.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of aclopl.i.ng resolution.

Dear Sire:
On September 2, 1977, I m-Ae a verbal complaint to Jay Miller
regarding a deck on Ron White's house being built on lots 4
and 5 and :east 10 feet of lots 3 and 6 River Terrace. Since I
am the adjoining property owner I am filing this formal complaint.
The necessary set back of 10 feet with a deck of this height was
not met.
The reason I sold him 10 feet of lots 3 and 6 was to make a large
onough building area so all building codes and ordinances would
be easily complied with. He had complete knowledge of the
property lines. His plane must have been submitted for a building
permit and then not followed.
I am requesting that ken 'Ihite'e deck be built in accordance
with the set beak ordinance and would like formal notification of
his co•opliunce with tho law.
If n ny it;;cuaA on on this matter to scheduled for any Planning
Commission Meeting or Council Meeting I insist on being notified.
Sincerely,
moi,

REGULAR MEETING OF THE M XITICE LLO CITY COUNCIL
October 10, 1977 — 7:30 P.M.
Members present: Con Johnson, Arve Grimsmo, Dan Blonigen, Gene Walters,
Philip White.
1. Public Hearing - Variance Request - Setback Requirements - Ron White.
Mir. Ran White requested a variance to allow a deck to be built within 6 feet
of the east property line for loot 41 except W. 25 feet and westerly 10 feet
of Lot 3, Block 3, River Terrace Addition in Monticello.
The house is already under construction and the deck built. Mr. White indi-
cated that he misunderstood the east property line and is requesting the variance
to allow the deck to stay.
Roy Lauring, the abutting property owner, voiced opposition to the variance
requested, because he felt Mr. White had sufficient lot size arca to build
the house and deck without asking for a variance. ID
On a motion by Philip White, seconded by Arve Grimsmo, it was unanimously
carried to deny the sideyard variance requested by Ron White.
2. Public Hearing - Sideyard Setback Variance Request - Roger Chartrand.
Mir. Roger Chartrand requested a variance to build a 24' x 30` garage within 9'
of his east property line on Lot 7, Block P, Monticello.
The variance was requested in order to save removing two trees on his property,
but Mr. Chartrand did indicate that one tree could be replanted if the variance
request was denied.
Since no real hardship would be involved in removing the trees, a motion was
mado by Dan Blonigen, seconded by Philip White and unanimously carried to deny
the variance request of Mr. Chartrand.
3, Consideration of Building Permit - Monti Coin Laundry, Northern States Power.
Northern States Power Co. requested a building, pormit for a 241x24' notal storage
building at their Nuclear Plant eito in Monticello.
Purpose of building is for storage of materials and supplies, etc.
Joy Miller requested a building permit to constrict a 14' x 241 addition to the
living quarters presently attached to the Monti Coin Laundry building. Part of
the present living quarters will be used for expansion of the laundry business and
the proposed addition would dust replace the portion of the living quarters
remodeled for commercial use.
Motion was made by Arvo Grimamo, seconded by Dan Blonigen and unanimously carried
to approve building permits for N.S.P. and the Monti Coin Laundry.
4. Consideration of Orderine Feasibility Resort Relative to Petition for Sewer
and Water on West Golf Course Road.
A petition was received from the Monticello Country Club and Howard Gillham
relative to requesting sewer and water on W. County Road #39 from the present
location at the city's maintenance building up to the I-94 overpass.
In 1975, a petition for sewer and water was received from the same area,
however, Hnward Gillham and the Monticello Country Club indicated at the Public
Hearing that they were not in favor of sewer and water based upon cost estimates
and uncertainty about development of their land.
Currently, the Monticello Country Club is preparing a subdivision plat of their
land and would now like sewer and water.
Initially, the cost of the improvement project was estimated at $148,600.
A motion was made by Cene Walters, seconded by Philip White and unanimously
carried to adopt a resolution ordering an updated feasibility report on extending
sewer and water along Golf Course Road and calling for a Public Hearing on
October 25, 1977. (See Resolution 1977 # )
5. Consideration of Award of Contract on Construction of 1977-2 Improvement Project.
Bids were opened last Thursday on the 1977-2 Improvement Project, for sewer,
water, storm sewer and permanent street improvements to Mr. John Sandberg's Anders
Wilhelm Estates.
Engineer's estimate on the project for construction cost was $136,500 and Kenko
Construction of Minneapolis was the apparent low bidder with a bid of $121,934.82.
(See Supplement 10-10-77 #1)
Motion was made by Dan Blonigen, seconded by Arve Grimsmo and unanimously carried
to award the contract for construction for the 177--2 Improvement Project to
Kenko Construction in the amount of $121.934.82.
6. Consideration of Approving 15 or 20 Yenr Low on 1977 Imurovement Bonds and
Assessment Methods.
At a previous meeting, the 1977 Street Improvement Project was approved mid a
bond sale set October 26, 1977 to finance this improvement along with 1977-1 and
1977-2 improvements.
Duo to tho magnitudo of the project, the council discussed using a 20 year levy
to retire the bonds versus a 15 year period.
Also discussed was whether the payment plans for the assessments on the street
project should be based on an equal prinicipal with declining interest basis
or total equal payments. The equal payment method would provide for a lower
annual cost to begin with during the first few years, but would result in approxi
irately a $90.00 Additional coat for a typical residential 65' x 165' lot.
A motion was made by Philip White to levy for the city's share of the bond issue
over 20 years with the assessment portion based on equal principal payments with
declining interest. Died for lack of a second.
Motion was then made by Arve Grimsmo to levy for the city's portion of the bond
issue over 15 years with the assessable portion based on equal principal payments
with declining interest on unpaid balance. Died for lack of a second.
After more discussion, Con Johnson entered a motion, seconded by Philip White,
and unanimously carried to levy for the bonds over 15 years with the assessments
payable over 20 years with total equal payments.
7. Consideration of Requiring Assessments to be Paid in Full upon Building Permit
Application.
W. King Forness of Springsted, Inc. fiscal consultant for the city, recommended
that the policy of 'requiring assessments to be paid in full upon application for
building permits be implemented against all properties serviced in the future
with sewer, water and other city improvements.
Mr. Forness indicated the purpose behind such a policy would be that city bonds
could be financed over a shorter period of time thereby improving the rate of
interest and marketability of Monticello's bond issues.
The policy would apply only to parcels or subdivisions being serviced, but not
currently developed.
Gene Walters made a motion, seconded by Philip White and unanimously, carried to
adopt the policy requiring all assessments for city improvements be paid when
a building permit is issued on all future subdivisions or developments.
8. Hearing on 1978 Proposed Budget.
The preliminary budget for 1978 was reviewed at the last council meeting and
the purpose of hearing is to afford citizens an opportunity to comment on the use
of Revenue Sharing Funds and the Budget. In the preliminary budget, it is proposed
that the $68,995 expected to be received in 1978 in revenue sharing funds be
applied against the cost of city hall.
The proposed 1978 Budget would require a levy of $869,152.00 or 21.54 mills.
Hearing no citizen comments, Arvo Grimsmo made o motion, seconded by Gene Walters
and unanimously carried to adopt the 1978 Budget as presented with the expected
revenue oharing fluids of $689995 being allocated against the cost of city hall
construction.
9. Consideration of Amending Ordinance Rol.ntive to N—tv Council and Planning
Coimniselon Approval of Building Permits.
Currently Monticello ordinance Section Ir1-2 relative to building permits includes
o provision that rondo as followsn
All permit applications for other than single family residential
structures shall be submitted to the Planning Commission and
City Council for approval.
A recommendation has been made by the Planning Commission to eliminate the need to
-3-
for Planning Commission and Council review of all commercial and/or industrial
building permit applications for remodeling or minor repairs, etc., that would
not actually enlarge a building.
A motion was made by Gene Walters, seconded by Philip White and unanimously
carried to amend ordinance section 4-1-2 relative to building permits by adding the
following sentence:
This provision does not apply to permit applications for
repairs or remodeling of structures, when such work will
not enlarge the structure in question.
(See ordinance Amendment 8-25-75 #41.)
10. Aooroval of Minutes.
Motion was made by Arve Grimsmo, seconded by Philip white and unanimously carried
to approve the minutes of 9-.26 and 9-28-77 council meetings as presented.
11. Consideration of Request for Water Extension to Dino's Restaurant.
Mr. Floyd Kruse, owner of Dino`s other world, requested the city extend a lateral
watermain to provide water service and fire protection for his restaurant.
During 1976, a watermain was extended across the northerly portion of his property
and at that time, water service for domestic use only was requested by the owner
of the property.
As a result, a 21, water service was installed to serve his property, but Mr.
Kruse has now indicated that he would also like to have city water for fire pro-
tection.
A feasibility report prepared by John Badalich, city engineer, intimates the cost
of extending an 8" water lateral to the restaurant at $14,000. (Seo Supplement
10-10-77 #2.)
In order to give Mr. Kruse an opportunity to review the report and costs involved,
it was the consensus of the council to table any decision on this improvement for
two weeks.
12. Discussion on Style of Curb nronosed for the '77 Street Imnrovement Proiect.
Plans recommended and currently being prepared on the 177 Street Project call
for a standard curb design used along Broadway Avenue previously. This design
would have a higher curb back as compared to styles used in newer subdivisions
recently developed in Monticello. The newer eloping style of curb allows
driveways to be placed anywhere along the street without requiring the curb to
be refinished.
A motion was made by Dan Blonigon, seconded by Philip White to have the plans and
specifications for the 177 Street Improvement Project include bids receivable for
both styles of curbs.
Voting in favor: C. Johnson, A. Crimsma, D. Blonigen, P. Whits.
Opposed. C. Waltere.
By council consensus, the next regular council meeting will be held October 25,
1977 at 7:30 P.M- instead of the 40 Monday which is Veteran's Day.
M 'g adjourned.

sigi and one nylon sign. Monticello Ford, Inc. requested one wall and two
pylon signs (one for new cars and one for used cars). tor. Flake indicated
that the necessity of two pylon signs comes about because of Ford Motor Co.

to one wall sign.

Ford Motor Co. has indicated to Mr. Flake that Monticello Ford can qualify
for a 42' sigi based on criteria established by the corporation for new
dealerships and as s result Mh•. Flake requested that a variance be granted

A motion was made by G. Walters, seconded by D. Blonigan mid unanimously
carried to deny the variance requested and require all pylon signs to meet
the 32' height limit.
