AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
Item 1. Public Nearing - Consideration of Sanitary Sewer,
Watermain and Street Improvements.
A feasibility report has been prepared by John
Badalich for sewer and water extensions and street
improvements for the following areas:
Minn. St. from 6th to 7th St.:
Sewer, water, curb, gutter and permanent
street improvement.
Elm St. from County Road 39 to 60 Street:
Sewer and water.
Fifth St. from Elm to Vine:
Sewer and water
(Copy of report enclosed).
By using the present city policy in regards to
assessing benefiting property, the approximate unit
parcel assessment based on a 100% assessment for
sewer and water• would be $5,190.00 with the (3)
parcels along Minnesota Street being assessed
an addit.i.onal. $4,200 each for• permanent street
improvements.
As the report indicates, these assessments are
considerably higher than previous projects; primarily
because some of the property abutting the im-
provements have, already been assessed. In addition,
5t.h Street between Elm and Vine can only be
assessed on one (1) side.
A second method of assessing the project was
figured by allowing credit for the additional unit
parcels abutting the rail rand tracks and those
previously assessed for financing through ad valorem
Luxes.
This would reduce Chu per parcel assessment, for sewer
and water to $2,945.00 with an additional $2,520.00
for those three (3) parcels along Minn. St. receiving
curb and gutter.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of resolution ordering
improvements as part of 1977-3 project.
REFERENCRS: OSM's Feasibility Report.

Ttem 2. Public Hearing - Consideration of Granting a
Variance from the Home Occupation Activities to
Allow a Hair Styling Shop by Joseph Peterson.
Al. the Feb. 27, 1978 council meeting, Joseph Peterson,
owner of the home located at 348 E. Broadway, re-
quested the rezoning of his property from R-2 to
to B-4 for the purpose of setting up a ha.i.r styling
shop in the residential home.
The Planning Commission had previously recommended
deni.al of the request due to the strong opposition
from neighboring residents.
When the rezoning issue was brought before the
city council, Mr. Peterson withdrew his request:
and asked to apply instead for variance under the
home occupation activities to allow the hair styling
shop.
Current. ordi.naners do allow home oecupations in
residential districts as permitted accessory uses
under certain conditions and the definition of a
home occupation is as follows:
Any gainful occupation engaged in by the occupants
of it dwel l ing at or from tile. dwel I ing. Such
activity shall be clearly incidental and second-
ary to Ulu residential use of the premises.
Permissable home occupations shall not. include
the conducting of it retail business other than
by mail, manufacturing business, or a repair
shop of any kind on the premises, and no stock
in trade shall be kept or sold. No rrther than
persons residing on the premises shall be em-
ployed, and no mechanical equipment shall be
employed that is lint customarily found in the
home and no more than one (1) room may be
devoted to home occupation use. Such home
occupation shall not require internal or ex-
ternal alterations or involve const. ruc t i on
features not. customarily found in dwellings.
The entrance to the space devoted to such
occupations shall be within the dwelling.
There shall be no exterior display, no exterior
signs except as allowed in the sign regulations
for the zoning district in which such home
-2-
3-27-78
occupation is located. There shalt be no
ti exterior storage of equipment or materials
used in the home occupation. No home
occupation shall be permitted which results in
or generates more traffic than one 0) car
for off-street parking at any one given point
in ti.mu. Permissable home occupations include,
but are not limited to, the following:
art studio, dressmaking, special offices of
a clergyman, lawyer, architect, engineer,
accountant, or real estate agent or appraiser,
when located in a dwelling unit occupied by
the same; and teaching, with musical, dancing
and other instruction limited to one (1)
pupil at one time.
Although not: specifically mentioned,it would appear
that, a hair styling shop, subject to the conditions
mentioned in the definition, would be permitted
accessory use in a residential arra.
Mr. Peterson is requesting a variance from the con -
di Lions that the operation generate no more than
one (1) off-street parking traffic at any given
Lime. Mr. Peterson has indicated that the operator
of the shop would only be doing business by appoint -
men Ls and should never generate more than one (1)
off-street parking 8pnce unless appointmenLs are
scheduled back -to -bark. In additinn, a variance
is requested from the definition to allow the sale
of hair care products such as shampoo, cundit.iuner,
etc. to his customers.
It should probably be: noted that; Mr. Peterson
apparently has a buyer for this home., who in Lunn
plans to rent out: the home_ to the hair styling
operator who wil l real do in the residence.
The definition of a homeoccupation tines not specify
that, the operator of a business nerd be the actual
owner of the proport.y; only that, he: lives there.
The Planning Commission at the"tr last mectAg, did
rccummcnd approval of the hair styling altop with
the following conditions:
1. No more than (2) off-street, parking Spaces
at, any given time.
2. Silica of hair conditioning products to
rtmLomera would be permit.Led.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of approving or
denying the hair styling 81)(31) as a permitted
accessory use Subject to ennditiuns apeliud uot.
In definition of home occupation.

ILem 3. Consideration of Building Permit - Iligh School Con-
cession Stand.
The Monticello Jr. -Sr. High School is requesting a
building permit to construct a concession and storage
bu.i.lding on the High School property.
The 56, x 38' concrete building would be located near
the football field and would be used for storage of
equipment in addition to concession sales.

ILem 4. Consideration of Increasing Mon thIv Allocation for
Library Building; Ma.intenanve.
Phyllis Ilurbank, Monticello librarian, has rcquesLed
additional spare for the Monticello Public Library
now that Oakwood is no lunger used as a school.
AL their last meeting, the school board approved of
renting out, :t room adjacent to the present, library for
such use and improving Lho room with carpeting. At,
their meeting the school board discussed the possibility
of increasing the monthly maintenance agreement.
charge to the City of MonLicelln :tlt:hough no specific,
request, or amount was made.
For your information, the city currently pnyc Lhe school
district. $75 monthly for the care and maintenance of
the library including lights, heat. and eleccricit.y.
Bivect, operating expenses of Lhe library, including the
1ibravian's salary, books, films, etc. are paid by
the Great River Regional Library system. This Sys Lem
is funded by a 2/3 mill levy which is it part, of the
cctunLy levy. AI I of Wright. County is in the Great.
River Regional Library system. This system pays for
al l operat•inn Costs for a I ibrary but. none of build -
Ing or building ma.intcnance costs.

Since January, 1975 the city's monthly maintenance
payments have been $75 and i.n Iight of the increased
area to be maintained it would seem a figure of $125
to $150 would be appropriate. Current square footage
of library i.s 177.6 and additional room would be
409 square feet.
Additionally, the 1_ibrary would need some shelving
for the new area, If approved, along with an identifi-
cation sign. Estimated cost of these two i.tems should
not exceed $750.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of:
1. Increasing monthly maintenance payments to school
2. Amount not exceeding $750 for shelving and
identification sign.
REFERENCES: Phyllis Burbank will be at Monday's meeting
to answer any questions.
NO'rE: It would seem that library suffers identity
problem and council may want to consider the library
as part of °open house" tour. Ms. Burbank would be
very receptive to this idea.
Item 5. Consideration of Howard Gillham's Preliminary Plat.
This item was reviewed [it, the council's last, meeting
and the following issues were to be resolved:
1. Park dedication.
Collector road dedication.
3. Comments from O -S -M.
Park Dedication:
Mr. Gillham has proposed it 1.7 acre arca for park
dedication and this is noted on enclosed portion of
Plat. The arca proposed is recommender) for acceptance
by the council since it iN centrally located, mr_ets

and very little frontage - would be picked up by city
on possible assessments for sewer and water. 111 (!Its(!

Itcm 6. Consideration of Aporoval of Preliminary Subdivision
Plat - Thomas Tndustri_al Park.
Stuart Iloglund is proposing to plat 19.6 acres of land
cast and south of Hoglund Bus Garage (copy of Plat
enclosed).
'1'hc area is platted for commercial and industrial size
.lots and conforms to present and future zoning of the
property.
Fourteen (Iq) lots are included .in the plat ranging it,
size from 23,200 square feet to 200,000 square feet.
City ordinances are met relative to lot widths and
S i'z es.
One question drat has been raised is that the city
will be blackl,opping the road north of the roller rink
and south of the plat and would like to install the
necessary sewer and water services to the, north for
'Phomas Park.
Under the 77-1 lmpr. Project, there were 3 water and
sewer services installed at Stuart's request, but,
the plat now proposes 8 lots abutting Thomas Drive and
3 more on a cul de stir requiring S additional services.
Mr. Iloglund has vequesLed cost estimates for these
services prior to making a decision nn whether he
wants these installed chis spring. It may be well
to itIIow two weeks to get it commitment from Mr. Iloglund
one way or the other in regards to the sewer and water
snrvices. Ily that time a cost estimate should be
received and a decision made before paving is started
nn 'Phomas Drive this spring.
OSM has reviewed the preliminary plat and recommended
some minor changes to Bob Rohl in, Mr. Iloglund's
engineer for the plat.
In regard to park dedication, the Planning Commission
recommended it cash payment in lieu of land.

POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of:

V 2. Sewer and water services for lots abutting
road to be btacktopped.
3. Approval of preliminary plat.

Item 7. Consideration of Approval of Preliminary Subdivision
Plat - Kampa Estates.
Nick Kampa and Judith Sandberg are proposing a V2
acre plat north of W. County Road #39. (Copy of
plat is enclosed).
Proposed platting is Cup ten (10) residential lots
ranging in size from 12,100 square feet to 29,000
square feet. This proposed use would conform " pre-
sent and future zoning of the property.
City ordinances are met relative to minimum lot sizes
and widths; however, lot 3 on south of Kampa Circle
appears to be quite .limited for building. Ke.O Nelson
points out in his review of the plat that the north
side of the lot could be considered a side yard and act
Lock reduced to 20' to allow for addi-tional building
area which would be possible. On now plats, ithas
been city policy not to allow variances from width
and size requirements, but it, would not he unreasonable
to allow one side of lot 3 as a side yard.
It should be noted that al existing structures on
lot 3 will be removed.
One of the major concerns of Dick DwinelI and the
Planning Commission was the intended use of Outlot A.
Mr. Dw,inell felt that by providing the 20' access from
the cul do saC to the nnl.lot, this may leave open the
possibility of future building site.
Since the developers indicated that they will be
attempting to sell We outlnt to the golf course, the
Planning Cummisslon recommended that, the 20' casement
be eliminated from the plat.. The Oudot, is rat.hcr 1 nw
in comparison to Go other lots and would appear to
be unbuildable in the future.
In addition, the Planning Commission recommended a
cash payment In lieu of land for the: park d-dientinn
requirements.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Approval of preliminary plat, and park
dedication requirement.

Because this lot did not have any access to either
Ramsey Street or 6th Strect. and the uncvrtaini-ty
over whether the abutting triangular parcel- owned
by Roy Lauring could be purchased, the Planning
Commission recommended that the plat. be approved

Item 10. Consideration of Increasing Building Inspection Fee
Schedule.
At the time the city council considered seeking a
full time building inspector, it was discussed that
the fee schedule for permits may well have to be
increased but a decision was delayed until an in-
spector was hired.
Since the new building inspector will start in April,
it would seem an appropriate time to consider an
adjustment of our fee schedule.
Listed below is the present and state building code
fees: Present Schedule
$10 minimum - for valuation up to $5,000.00
$2.00 per thousand for valuation between
$5,000-00 $25,000-00
$50 Plus $1.50 per thousand - for valuation
between $25,000.00 - $1000000.00

$11000.00 or fraction thereof,
to and including $100,000.00
$100,000,00 to $500,000.00 $287.00 for the first $100,000.00
plus $1.50 for each additional
$1,000.00 or fraction thereof,
to and including $500,000.00
$500,001.00 and up $887.00 for' the first $500000.00
plus $1.00 for- each additional
$1,000.00 or fraction thereof.
In addition, there is a plan checking fee suggested
under Lha sLaLe code amounting to one-half of the fee
schedule. As a result, the state suggusLcd fees, adopted
by most communities using the code, is approxi.matel.y
three times the city's fee schedule. As an example, the
state suggested fee on a $40,000 home would be $235.50
as opposed to the city's fee of $72.50.
1 would suggest the city amend its ordinance to adopt
a schedvlo nn to 75% of the state fee schedule but not
the plan checking review foe. As a result the fee for '
a $40,000 home would be $118.00.
Currently, the building inspector in Monticello retains
80% of the fee charged. Listed below is the building
inspector income for 1975-77.
Year 1st Qtv. 2nd Qtr. 3rd Qtr. 4th Pltr. 'Total
1975 $ 112 $1574 $ 754 $ 885 $3325

1977 3861 *41 1641 2278 2171 9951
# Includes permit for ISD #882 for $748.
+F4F lnrltitles permit for 7SD #882 for $2206.
If the above_ recommended 75% state fee were charged,
revenues in these years would be approximately:
1975 - $4,987
1976 - $8,217
1977 - $14,927
If t;he fee for the school were ignored as it better �
indication, the fee for 1977 would have been $I`IJ.B-�,
'['his would about. c over the estimated cost of our new
building Inspector salary of $12,600, fringe benefits of
20% and other costs totaling about $15,750; however,
C some of the building Inspector's time will be spent, in
other areas, such as enforcing unifol-m housing and fire
nodes and also inspecting publie improvement projects.
-t0-
n
3-27-7S
As a result of adopting the 75% of the state schedule
V- but not; the plan checking fee, approximately 75% of the
city's building inspection department cost would be
paid through permits which I believe is equitable. This
schedule could be reviewed in a year, or two for possible
adjustments but I believe an amendment should be made
now. It should be pointed out -chat the current schedule
has been in effect for almost 5 years and the suggested
schedule would raise the present fee by about 50%.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of ordinance amendment
for building permit fees.
Item 11. Review and Consideration of Building Maintenance. Rel ow.
is Mike Rajalacs report.
At the March 13, 197S meeting, the council requested
an organizatio.t and implementation schedule for painting
the Liquor Store, Fire Hall and Senior Citizens building.
I have discussed this issue with Mark Irmiter, Marn
Flicker and Karen Hanson and I would suggest; the following:
1. Sand blast the fire hall and seni.or ci-tizens
bui..lding.
2. Paint, spray both these buildings with 2 coats
of a good quality wh.itc masonry paint.
3• Paint spray the liquor store with I coat of
a good quality redwood natural stain.
City crews will do the surface preparations and sand-
blasting and the fire department personnel will paint,
their building. City crews wi.11 give additional help
to the senior volunteers with their painting. Cost, to
complete these two buildings would be approximately
$1500 - 1600.
(i.e.) Sandblaster rental
$220/week x 2 weeks $440
Airless paint sprayer
$115/week 115
Sand 175-200 bags 0 $2.00 400
Paint 45 gal. ® $12/gal. 540
Misc. suppllea 50
Total $1545
All surface preparation and painting of the Liquor store
w i 1 1 be done by r,ity crows. Cost for paint anti supplies
to com plcte this building would approximately $125 -150 -
Work will begin the firat, part of April or as soon as
weather perm-i.ts.
POSSIBLE, ACTION: Consideration of approval of proposed
maintenance.
