Public Hearing - Revised Comprehensive Plan, Zoniruz District Amen vnents and Zoning Ordinance Amendments. A. Public Hearing - Revised Comprehensive Plan. The Revised Comprehensive Plan has been presented to the Planning Commission at their April 11, 1978 meeting and the Planning Commission unanimously voted to recommend adoption of this plan. For your information, the compre- hensive plan is dated June 1977 and has been previously handed out. It includes a narrative and various maps supporting the overall connrehensive plan. Should any of you not be able to locate a copy of the revised comp- rehensive guide plan, please contact me at your convenience. B. Consideration of Zoning District Amendments. Enclosed for your reference, please find a map indicating sevui w-eas within the City of Monticello that are proposed to be rezoned as a result of the adoption of the overall comprehensive plan. It should be noted that area L. was deleted and is scheduled for another hearing at the Planning Commission's next meeting. This is a result of comments received at the Planning Comndssion's hearing indicatitg that property owners in the area would rather have the area zoned as R-2 (Single and Two Family Residential) as opposed to Et -B (Residential Business). Currently this property to zoned as B-4 or Regional Business. Area 3 has been reduced and the only area within area 3 that is proposed for rezoning from B-4 to R -B is that area north of 4th Street. Additionally, it should be pointed out that the Planning Commission has had a previous hearing on the rezoning request for County Club Manor and this is the topic of a separate item on tonight's agenda. Should this area be rezoned, this would bo' incorporated into the overall zoning district map. Enclosed please find the April 11, 1978 minutes of the Planning, Commission's hearing on the revised comprehensive plan, zoning district amendments and zoning ordinance amendments. In the minutes you will note that the zoning district amendments are explained and also any testimony is documented that was received by the Planning Commission. Additionally, the some procedure is given for the zoning ordinance amendments. C. Consideration of Zoning Ordinance Amendments. As indicated in the above section, please refer to the minutes of April 11, 1978 indicating the ten proposed ordinance amendments. At their hearing on April 11, 1978, the Planning Commission did not receive a.V negative comments relative to the proposed amendments. Please note that I have enclosed ecparatoly the ordinance for the management of the Mississippi Wild Scenic and Recreational River System. This amendment was previously reviewed by the City Council approximately one year ago and is required as C a result of the Mississippi River being designated as a wild and scenic river. 5-8-7= POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of adopti:ig Reprised Comprehensive Plan, Zoning District Amendments as recommended by the Planning ComrisEion, and Zoning Ordinance Amendments. REFFRE74CFS: Revised Comprehensive Plan (previously sent out), April 11, 1978 Plannijig Commission minutes, Zoning District Boundary Cha-i_cs, and Ordinance relative to the Mississippi being designated as a wale and scenic river, MV Item 2. Review of Assessment Policy Draft. I have talked with Springsted, Inc., fiscal consultants for the City of Monticello relative to the proposed assessment policy draft. Due to an illness within the family of the individual who was to prepare the policy it is unlikely that the plan will be available prior to Friday, may 5, 1978, and it most likely will accompany the agenda that is being sent out. As vn„ micht, rernlI. nt. the (nuncills Anril 10. 1978 meetine_, consensus was received on the following items: 1) Oversizing of utilitylines will be financed in a manner other than with ad valorem taxes. Oversizing assessment should be made at the time of the installation of the improvement.3)A cash deposit would be required someWire in the area of 25-40% of any proposed extension to new develop- ments. Q The puriod of assessment would be shorter than in the past and possibly five years. 5) Storm sewer improvements should be assessed with a greater rate against commnercial/iiidustrial property than against resi- dential property. 6) No decision was made on the city's policy of a 50% subsidy for new street improvements where an existing street already ,\P t existed, and also whether the city wished to consider more than ,Just a �Yt front footage on comer lots for those improvements which lend themselves to a front foot assessment. ou V POSSIBLE ACTION: Since the proposed assessment policy will be in draft form based upon the consensus of the council at their April 10, 1978 meet - VV o� ing, it may be well to table any decision relative to the adoption of the policy until the policy can be tested in the various improvement; that have been petitlonod for. At our next meeting, May 22, 1978, hearings will `( be hold on various improvements within the City of Monticello. For pur- poses of preparing feasibility reports, however, the council may want to consider what their thinking is on any questions that may come up as a result of the assessment policy. REFERENCES: Assessment policy reviewed at the April 10, 1978 meeting, Draft Copy of Revised Assossment Policy. Item 3. Consideration of Adoption of Resolution Receiving Feasibility Report and Calling for a Public Hearing on 1978-1 Improvement Pro.ject. Frclosed, please find a resolution which calls for a public hearing on tho improvemento contained within the resolution for the council's proposed next mooting, May 22, 1978. -2- 5-3-73 John Badalich will have a feasibility report available for MonJay fight's meeting to review the proposed projects. Time may not permit the council y to adequately review the feasibility study but in the past the feasibility study has been presented at the same time of the public hearing. For pur- poses of Monday night's meeting, it may be well just for Mr. Badalich to Ughlight the improvements and indicate the costs of the project and the proposed assessments, which have been prepared in accordance with the pro- posed new assessment policy and call for the hearing for the May 22 meet- ing. By having the feasibility report two weeks in advance of the actual hearing, this will still allow the council adequate time to review the feasibility report prior to the May 22, 1978 meeting. It should be noted this agenda item has been scheduled after the agenda item relative to the assessment policy in order to allow input possibly from Springsted Inc., relative to the proposed improvements. POSSIBLE ACTION: Review of highlights of the feasibility report and consideration of calling for public hearing on proposed project for May 22, 1978. C REFERENCES: Enclosed Resolution. Item 4. Consideration of Approval of Final Plat - Country Club Manor - and Rezoninr Request. This plat consists of 48.7 acres and includes 57 single family residential Lots along with a large outlet abutting interstate 94. At the council's March 27, 1978 meeting, approval was given for the pro- lindnary plat along with the park dedication requirement to be met in land and cash. A park area of approximately 1.7 acres has been proposed and the total plat requirement would be 4.87 acres with the balance of the park dedication then coming in cash. Additionally, since the area north of the proposed collector road is designated for single family use it would be necessary to rezone the property from the present zoning north of the road from B-4 to R-1. At their hearings relative to the mattor, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the preliminary plat along with the rezoning request. A final copy of the plat hao been presented to our engineering Sinn and John Badalich will give his comments at Monday night's meeting. POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of approval of final plat and rezoning area within Country Club Manor that lies north of collector road (Country Club Road) and south of Nest County Road 39 from B-4 (Regional. Business) to R.1 (Single Family Residential). REFERENCES: A copy of the final plat is available for review at City Hall. -3- 5-5-78 Item 5. Cnnsideration of Approval of Final Plat - Kanma Estates. This plat is 6.2 acres and consists of ton residential lots ren5-ing in size from 12,100 sq. ft. to 28,000 sq. ft. The preliminary plat :or the area received council approval at their March 27, 1975 meeting and park dedication was proposed to be in cash. A copy of the final plat has been sent to OSM and John Badalich will review any comments with the council at Monday night's meeting. POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of approval of final plat. REVERENCES: Copy of final plat is available for review at the Monticello City Hall. Item 6. Review of Interim UDRradinp_ of City's Wastewater Treatment Plant. Enclosed pleas_ find a copy of m April 21, 1972 letter from the 'ter awls Pollution Control Agency that was previously handed out at the last council. meeting. At that time it was decided to bring this up for review at the next regular council meeting. I have sent a copy of this letter to Jim Ridgeway with Wrightco Products as they are a major industrial discharger of pollutants. Mr. Ridgeway will be at the meeting Monday night to review with the council action to be taken to remedy this situation. In talking with John Badalich, I have requested that he contact PCA to sec if there i:, any possible extension of time that could be granted in light of the fact that the city is currcn tly undergoing Step II funding for its wastewater treatment plant. A letter received from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency on April 24 indicated that time extensions could be granted to publicly ouned treatment works which were unable to achieve secondary treatment or more stringent state standards by July 1 of 1977 because either: 1) construction could not be completed in time despite all expeditious efforts, or 2) United States failed to make financial assistance avail- able in time and the publicly owned treatment works did not significant- ly contribute to the delay in funding. It is somewhat questionable whether this letter might have applicability to the City of Monticello's case since we in o£foct, already have been granted an extension of time to comply with state and fedoral atandaads for pollution and have had our limits modified until such time as the alterations to the axisting treat- ment plant are completed. Previously the City of Monticello did solicits bide for chemical feed equipment to reduce the level of effluent that goes into the Mississippi River. Low bid received for this chemical equipment was $12,887.85, how - over, the city did request and was granted an extension of time to implo- ment a chemical feed operation and as a result all tho bide were rejected. John Badalich will be reviewing this as a possible alternative with the l city council at Monday night's mooting and it may require that the city C again advertise for bide for chemical feed equipment. -4- Ah 5-t- 7 a It should be pointed out that the city's level of 30D and susnen vd l solids has improved in the past 6 to 7 months and a specifi:! Lour sampling test taken at WrighLco Products did show significant reucL ons in our 30D loading, however, in light of an increase in suspended solids apparently the PCA feels that the chemical feed equipment should be added to the existing plant. POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of procedures necessary to mei°. Lhe Minnesota Pollution Control's requirements as to the effluent =rom the treatment plant. REF .ICES: April 21, 1978 letter from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. Item 7. Consideration of ADDroval of Chance Order AQ - 1977-1 ConstrucLlon Project Contract - Arcon Construction. At the City Cowicil's last meeting, a proposed change order from Arcon Construction Company was reviewed by John Badalich of CSM. This change order was for the extension of sewer and water and curb and gutter, black- top streets, to serve Thomas Industrial Park and amounted to $45,971.45• At this meeting the council decided to have this change order reviewed with the proposed developer, Mr. Stuart Hoglund, to determine if he would concur with the cost. I have talked to Mr. Stuart Hoglund and have reviewed the change order with him. Furthermore, I indicated that 100% of this construction cost would be assessed towards Thomas Industrial Park and no portion of this cost would be picked up by ad valorem taxes. Mr. Hoglund did concur with the change order except that he requested that since the property is going to be developed that the sod and seed item amounting to $1,050 be elimin- ated, two service stubs could be oliminaLcd, and he decided Lo eliminate the road that connects County Road 117 with the road just west of Monticello Roller Rink. Mr. Keith Nelson will be getting a revised cost figure for this change order from Arcon Construction and will have this figure ready for the council Monday night. One of the concerns I initially had when reviewing this project was the amount of assessments that would be charged to Thomas Industrial Park in light of the fact the city council is now reviewing an assessment policy that quite likely will be more stringent than the existing policy. How - over, it should noted that 100% of this cost is proposed to be assessed and a majority of the land that is included in Thomas Industrial Park is already going to he served by the present 197-1 Improvement Project. It is estimated that the now lots that are Loring added as a result of the plotting of Thomas Industrial Park will result in a per parcel asses ment of approximately $10,820 which is very close to the council's pro- posed new policy. It should be pointed out that the final policy ie actually determined at the time of the assessment hearing, however, I think it 1s well to give the dovelopor what would be the most stringent standards and if they are liberalized, the assessments actually would go /r down. l POSSIBLE AMONt Consideration of approving of change order with Arson Construction for sewer, water, curb and gutter on Thomas Circle and black - Lop. -5- E4 5-8-72 REFERENCES: April 24, 1978 change order from .4rcon plus OSM's letter of April 24, 1978 ( it should be noted that this change order gill have some minor revisions as a result of the deletion of some items and these will be presented by OSM). Item 8. Consideration of SunDay Resolution. On May 3, 1978, a day has been proclaimed as Sun Day, a day devoted to a celebration of all solar technologies and the City Council has been asked by the Wright County Community Action Center, Inc. to pass the enclosed resolution. You may wonder why the Council should consider a resolution proclaiming the day as Sun Day when the day has already passed. I asked the same thing, but I only got the resolution after the Council's last meeting of April 24, 1978. I informed Wright County Community Action of the situation and they say they have run into this problem and because of the lateness of trying to get this resolution issued that they still requested that the Council pass the resolution in supporL of Lha concept of solar energy. P0SSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of Resolution. REFERENCE: Copy of enclosed resolution. f Item 9. Consideration of Awarding Contrant on Durno Truck. Enclosed please find the bids that were submitted for the new single - axle dump truck both for a gasoline powered and diesel powered engine. Also enclosed, please find the recommandation from Mike Rojala relative to the award of a contract to Hoglund Bus Company for $23,004 for o gasoline powered vehicle. And additionally, to purchase the extra -du Ly tires for additional cost of $140.60 for a total cost of $23,144.60. It should be noted that the Public Works Director's recommendation was based on the fact of Hoglund Bus Company being the lowest responsible bidder and also mooting or exceeding all specs. Additionally, Mr. Rajala felt that the City should go to the gasoline powered engine as opposed to the diesel powered engine because of the cost savings. Initially, it was felt that a diesel powered engine may cost up to $3,000 more than o regular gasoline engine, but no you will note by the bids, the oost is close to $7,000 more than a gasoline powered engine. POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of awarding contract to Hoglund Bus for the dump truck as indicated above. REFERENCES: Fnclosod list of bide, Miko Rajala's recommendations. -6- 5-8-73 Item 10. Consideration of Revising City's Policy Relative to Picking up Brush. In the past, the City of Monticello has utilized its public works department to pick up brush that has been accusrlatcd by property- owners provided that the property owners gather the brush and leave it on the boulevard. This has gotten to the point where it takes more and more time of the public works department to pick up the brush that has been accumulated. In the past year, Mike Rejala estimates that approximately 200 hours have been spent relative to picking up brush. This is the equivalent of five weeks of a man employed at the rate of 40 hours per week at the cost of $1050 for salary and employee benefits which do not include any amount allocated for use of the City's equipment. It is recommended that this policy be revised in that if any brush takes longer than 15 minutes to be picked up, a charge at the rate of $10.00 per hour be assessed against the property owner and paid at the time of pick up. In other words, the first 15 minutes would be free to any property owner desiring to have his brush picked up, but if it took a half hour, there would be a charge of $2.50 for the additional 15 minutes. This has become a prW em in that some property owners will accumulate such a large degree of brush that it will take several hours to pick this up. It should be noted that the Yonak's,.our garbage disposal service, will pick up the brush C1 provided it is put into 6 -foot bundles so even if the policy is adopted, the property owner does have an alternative method of getting p rid of his brush without it causing any financial hardship. It just may cause a few extra hours on the property owners part to trim the ` trees and get it down to reasonable size so Yonak Brothers can pick up the brush. • POSSIBLE: Consideration of revising the policy as above. V ` � V N -7- d MONTICEU,O CITY COIRiCII, May 8, 1978 » 7$30 P.M. Members present: Con Jphnson, Gane Walters. Dan Blonigen, Arve Gri:-ano. Phil White. Citizen Comments: Richard Pooley from the River Terrace Trailer Park asked the council for consideration of a variance to allow him to continue building a 14 z 32 foot addition to the recreation hall •fiich wan started without a building per- mit. He indicated hie contractor stated that he did not need a building permit and now wanted to continue with the construction without waiting for the Planning Commission and Council review. The consensus of the council was that a building permit would not be issued until both the Planning Commission and council reviewed the matter, but both committees would possibly be receptive to special meetings ft r this item. 1. Publir. HoarinR - Revised Comoreheneive Plan. ZonOR District Amendments and Zoning Ordinance Amendments. Dick Dwinell, consulting planner with Howard Dahlgren and Associates, reviewed the revised comprehensive plan as it related to the proposed zoning district chargee and ordinance amendments. The following described parcels of land were proposed for rezoning in accordance with the revised comprehensive plans Area 1. Approximately 120 acres located between County Highway 75 and Inter- state 94, north of Prairie Road, from R-1 (Single Family Residential) to I-1 (Light Industrial). Mr. Dwinell indicated that the reason for proposing such a change was to make it consistent with the abutting property to the north, that being Northam States Power Company, and the property to the west, that being used as Industrial by Mr. Bill Seefeldt. Mr. Dwinell also felt that this area would not develop residentially because of its location near other industrial areas and because of its proximity to the freeway. The following testimorp was presented: Daryl Tindles Mr. Tindle was against the rezoning of time property to I-1 and felt that the area was too close to residential, that being Hillarest and Hillarest Second Addition. YAM Nolan$ Mr. Nolan was also agairat the rezoning and felt that the intrusion of industrial in this area would tend to deteriorate and depreciate the residential property. Ren Hartman$ Also opposed to the rezoning as he gust moved to the Hillorvst area to set away from industrial and commercial businesses and now finds out that he may be next to another industrial zone. After discussion by the council on the size of the area proposed for rezoning and the necessity for industrial in this aro&, a motion was made by Phil White, seconded by Dan Blonigen and unanimously carried to refer this area proposed for rezoning back to the Planning Coals. lesion for further study. N 5-c-7` Area 2. Approximately a 1110 - 500 foot wide strip of land located between West County Road 39 to the west and Marv -in Road to the east all bordering the north side of Interstate 911 from R-3 (Multiple Family Residential) and 11-4 (Regional Business) to B-3 (Highway Business). The area is approximately 3/4 of a mile long and 43 acres in sire. The following testimony was given: Mr. William Hoffman, representin., !iarold Ruff: Felt that the area entirely south of West County Road 39 to the freeway s^o,'d be zoned as commercial; in addition, the area including the current Ruff Salvage Yard to the east of Elm Street should be commercial since this is the current use of the land. Questions were asked regarding the difference between the current B-4 zcninr of a portion of this land to 5-3 and Mr. Arnell stated that the differences are mainly in lot setback requirements. Hearing no further cucments, a motion ..as made by Gene Walters, seconded by Arve Grimsmo, to rezone this areafror.. 3-4 (Regional Busire 3s) and R-3 (Multiple Family Reeidential) to B-3 (Commercial Business). Voting in favor: Johnson, Grimsno, Walters and White. 0ppooed: 3lonigen. Area 3. Lots 3 through 8. Block 33. Upper Monticello, from B-4 (Regional_ Busineso) to R -B (Residential Business). The reason for the proposed rezoning was that there was concern from residents that since they were nonconforming, they may not be allowed to rebuild in case of a fire, or add additions to their home. Thw requested that a more liberal zoning be applied to them. Hearing no additional comments, a motion was made by Gene Walters, seconded by Arve Grimamo and unanimously carried to approve the rezoning of Lots 3 - 9, Block 33, from B-4 to R-9 (Resi- dential Business). Area h. lots 1 - 1U. Block 30 and tots 1 - 5, Block 37. from I-4 (Regional Business to R -B (Rosidential Business). Mead on comments received at the Planning Commission hearing on this rezoning, this item was set up for a special public hearing for this area at a future date. No action was taken by the council. Area 5. Loan 1 - 5, Block 13 from R-3 (Multiple Family Residential) to B-3 (Highway Busineso). -hie area was being considered for rezoning based on the fact that it &butte Walnut Street %&ich is planned to be improved in 1978 and all the used along Walnut Street would be proposed to be of a commercial nature. Hearing no ocamenta, a motion was made by Arve Grimmao, seconded by Phil White and unanimously curried to approve the rezoning from R-3 to B-3 (lli.ghway Business). Area G. Tlwt part of the northerly j of the southeast 1 of the northweat section 14, Township 121, Range 25. lying between County Highway 117 on the east to State Highway 25 on the west, from I-2 (Heavy Industrial) to B-3 (Highway Business). The basis for this rezoning woo that it appeared that the area would be batter utilised in terms of zoning as camneroial as opposed to the present zoning of heavy industrial due to its location to Highway 25 and the surrounding zoning districts. At the Planning Commission Hearing Mr. Joseph Culp, owner of the land. Bald he would favor a commercial zoning of the property. Hearing no other comments, Gene Walters made a motion. seconded by Arve Grimsmo and unanimously carried to approve the rezoning. -2- a 5 -8 -7C - Area 7. .approximately 14 acres lying north of County Highway ,875 and east of Fast County Road 39 from R-1 (Single Family Residential) to R-3 (Multiple Family Residential). The reason for the proposed is that a portion of the property that is currently lying to '.ne southeast of East County Road 39 and north of County FoLjd 75 w;s compatible with the surrounding r.oning. Rearing no comcn:•s, Phil White made a motion, seconded by Dan B1onigen and unanimously carried to approve this rezoning. Consideration of Zoning Ordinance Amendments. l.r..endmer.'. 1.

Mr. Ron Langness, with Springnted. Inc., fiscal consultants for the Cit; of Monticello. reviewed the proposed assessment policy draft with the city council. The new policy would propose the following items: 1) that overs'_-ing of u.i.lity lines would be financed in a manner other than with ad valorem taxes; 2) that oversizing assessment would be made at the time of installation of the i=rove- ment; 3) a cash deposit would be required somewhere in the area of 25% or greater for any extension of sewer and water facilities to a new developments 4) that the period of the assessment would be shorter than in the past, possibly five years; 5) that store sewer improvements would be assessed with a greater rate against commercial or industrial property than against residential property; 6) that all assessments in a new subdivision would have to be ntid Drior to the issuance of a building permit. Considerable discussion was had by the council concerning the new assessment policy and how it would relate to the two plate being considered, those being Kampa Estates and Country Club Manor. Jim Metcalf, attorney representing Howard Gillham for the Country Club Martyr, indicated that they would be able to live with any new assessment policy provided they a_ -a treated on equal basis with other plats that were previously accepted. Mr. John Sandberg indicated that his two previous plats, being Riverside and Sandberg South, have been sold and therefore collecting any front end money may be hard to do. Ralph Mineterteiger asked that the policy proposed of assessing street improvements on a front footage basis be changed to a unit parcel asgeemnent for some new subdivisions because of the odd lot sizes created by cul de sate. He felt that a unit basis would be more equitable since some property has smaller front footage than others but is receiving the same benefit. Since this new proposed assessment policy was gust in a draft fano, the consensus O f t2ia council was to table any action on adopting the new assessment policy for at least two weeks. (See supplement 5-8-78 #1.) Meeting wan then recessed until 7:30 P.M. on Tuesday, May 9, 1978. Tuesday, May 9. 1978 7:30 P.M. A]l members present. 3.

The council also previously approved the preliminary plat with the park dedication as proposed in cash. The council discussed how these two plate would relate to the new aosossment policy proposed and a motion was made by Con Johnson, seconded by Arve Grlmamo to approve the final plate for Country Club Planar and Kampa Estates subject to the engineer's approval with the understanding that these plate would have to adhere to all new assessment policies. except that front and money for sewer and water improvements would not be required for those plate who potltioned -6- 9 9 -8 for sewer and water before March 1, 1978.

Consideration of Rezoning Country Club Manor from B-4. !iegiona: Business. to It -1, Single Family Residential. and B-3. Highway Business. As part of the Comprehensive Plan, the area abutting the freeway has been re- zoned from B-4 to B-3. W. Gillham requested that 'he area north of the proposed collector road through the Country Club Manor plat be rezoned to single family residential. Mlr. William Hoffman, representing Ruff Auto Parte, opposed any rezoning to residential because he felt the area was still commercial in nature. He also felt that a future overpass on County Road 39 wovld create clot of traffic in a residential neighborhood and tient such rezoning would de- preciate the values of neighboring property. Since the proposed renoring would coincide with the comprehensive plan presented earlier. Con Johnson made a motion, seconded by Phil White, to rezone the Country Club plat north of the collector road frum B-4, Regional Business, to H.1, Single Family Residential. Voting ir. favor: C.
