AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
1. Public Hearing - Consideration of Off -Street Parking, Variances and Condi-
tional Use Permit Request for Addition to Trinity Lutheran Church.
The Trinity Lutheran Church, 449 West Broadway, is asking for a conditional
use permit in order to allow a 9,800 sq. ft. addition to their existing
Church. Purpose of this addition would be to serve as a worship center
accommodating approximately 313 people. The present Church would still be
utilized, but as a multi-purpose facility for classrooms, religious in struo-
tions, social gatherings, etc. Since the Church is in an R-2 zoning
district, a conditional use permit is required.
In reviewing the proposed site plan, a copy of which is available at
the City Hall, the following variance requests are necessary in addition
to the conditional use permit:
A. Variance from effectively screening parking lots from abutting
residences. In their proposed site plan, the Trinity Lutheran
Church contemplates three separate parking areas. The major parking
area would be immediately east of the proposed addition, and would
be along Broadway Street. The other two parking areas would be
immediately east of the parsonage on West River Street, and east
of a residence on West River Street, the residence in question is
immediately east of the aforementioned parking lot on West River
Street. According to the proposed site plan, there are provisions
for some landscaping to screen the parking lots from the view of
abutting residential areas, but the screen does not meet the City
ordinances requiring an effective screen since landscaping that is
proposed is not continuous.
PLANNER AND PLANNING COMMISSION OOMM NTS: In reviewing this request,
the City's Planner, Howard Dahlgren & Associates, felt that the
variance request was reasonable, but did feel that the proposed site
plan could be improved upon with additional landscaping to form if
not an entirely effective screen, a more effective screen. The
largest concern of the Planning Commission was relative to the issue
of a residence along West River Street that would be surrounded by
two parking lots. Primary discussion at the Planning Commission's
hearing was relative to an assurance from the Church that the property
would be acquired by the Church. There was concern that the building
of the parking lots on both sides of this residence would deplete the
value of the property, and the proposed plan may in effect force the
residence to be sold to the Church. Church officials have indicated
that they have approached the property owner relative to the probable
purchase of the land, but did not want to push the issue too far
because of the sensitive nature of the problem. It should be pointed
out that the property owner was not present at the Planning Commission
meeting and has no objections on record to the proposal.
Z
Agenda Supplement - 11/27/78
B. Variance request from hardsurface requirements and curb barrier
on perimeters of parking lots. In order to diminish any detrimental
effects that the parking lots along West River Street would have on
the surrounding residential property, the Church is proposing to sod
or seed these parking lots instead of having them hardsurfaced with
concrete or pavement. In reviewing this, there seems to be a great
deal of benefit that would be forthcoming if this arrangement worked,
and although it might be somewhat innovative, it might be more
attractive to the surrounding areas.
PLANNER AND PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS: Discussion at the Planning
Commission level felt that this was a good idea to keep the residen-
tial character of the neighborhood intact. However, there was some
discussion on whether the City should review this after a stated
period of time, for example one year after occupancy, to insure the
parking lot does not become muddy and an eyesore to the area. However,
the Planning Commission did approve of this variance request. It
should be pointed out that the parking lot along Broadway Street
will be hardsurfaced and have a curb barrier provided.
C. Variance request from number of off-street parking spaces. According
to the City ordinances, 98 parking spaces would be required based
upon the seating capacity, along with the number of classrooms. The
present site plan provides for 75 parking spaces. However, it should
be pointed out that the Church currently only has about 30 parking
spaces provided for its membership, and this would certainly improve
that situation. Also, it should be remembered that since the Church
would only be occupied to its capacity for probably four to five hours
per week, that some leniency could be granted relative to the request.
PLANNER AND PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS: Howard Dahlgren & Asso-
ciates felt that the ordinance was written for an optimum situation,
and felt that the request was a reasonable one. At their meeting,
the Planning Commission did approve of the variance request.
D. Variance request from front -yard setbacks. Present site plan shows
a parking lot on West Broadway, and also on West River Street,
intruding into the required 30' setback requirement in the front
yard. This is not allowed for required off-street parking spaces,
and according to City ordinances, a variance would be necessary.
PLANNER AND PLANNING COMMISSION OOMMENTS: Again, the Planning Com-
mission felt this was a reasonable request and approved of the
variance.
In summary, Howard Dahlgren & Associates felt that since the Church is
not a new development and since it was an existing situation, the
development as proposed would certainly be an improvement, and would be
an asset to the neighborhood. The overall arrangement of the parking
lots with the allowance to have parking lots that were not hardsurfaced
would blend into the residential character of the neighborhood. The
Planning Commission felt that all variances should be approved if the
` Conditional Use Permit is granted.

2. Public Hearing - Variance Request for an Addition to a Home in a B-4
Zone.
Mr. Roger Mack, who lives on West River Street, the north # of Lots 11 & 120
Block 50, is requesting a variance to allow for a room addition onto his
present home. Since this home is in a B-4 zone, a variance would be neo-
essary.
Mr. Mack has submitted preliminary plans for his proposed addition, and
is willing to make all aspects of the work conform to codes and ordinances
if this variance is granted.
At their last meeting} the Planning Commission unanimously voted to recom-
mend approval of this request.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of approving or denying this variance
request.*
REFERENCES: Enclosed map depicting area.
3. Public Hea" - Consideration of a Variance Request to Exceed 1.000
Square Foot Maximum on an Accessory Buildings.
Mr. James Murray, of 524 West Fifth Street, is requesting a variance
from the ordinance restricting a garage to 11000 square feet on his
property, Lots 8, Q & 10, Block 10, which is zoned as R-3.
Mr. Murray would like to build a garage which is 1,728 square feet in
area and over 15' in height. The purpose of this garage would be to
house his moving van, and in addition, to house his lawn and garden
equipment and miscellaneous other items. In reference to the moving van,
Mr. Murray has a semi -tractor and trailer which he does moving with under
contract with North American Van Linea.
Mr. Murray has stated there would be no repair work done within this
building, but it would be strictly for covered off-street parking. The
building would be of a polo type variety utilizing colored metal siding
that would replace the presently too small garage on the property now,
which is scheduled to be removed if the variance is granted.
*OZ all variance requests and conditional use permits, 4j5's vote is neces-
sary for approval.

ould contain the present Stor-h-Way building, and the newly created lot
would be 1.186 acres. Proposed subdivision has made adequate provisions
so that the front and sideyard setbacks are sufficient. Additionally,
a park dedication requirement would be necessary, which Mr. Worth has
C� agreed to since this is a subdivision of land.
\�� At their lost meeting, the Planning Commission unanimously voted to
\I� recommend approval of this request.

Public Hearinpt- Variance Request for Off -Premise Sign for St. Peter's
Lutheran Church.
St. Peter's Lutheran Church is requesting a variance to allow a sign
to be put at the intersection of Highway 25 and 3rd Street in Monticello.
the request was to allow the sign within the right-of-way, but
the Planning Commission felt no sign should be within: the public right -
-wand furthermore, there was concern whether the State would approve
,)�Initially,
Jof
t..%uest, so approval was given to allow the variance provided that the
St. Peter's Lutheran Church would get permission from one of the property
owners abutting the intersection, those being Flay McCoy, Security Federal,
Marn Flicker or the Independent School District. A variance would still be
necessary since this would be an off -premise sign, and this type of sign
is prohibited by City ordinances. Paul Klein, representative of St. Peter's
Lutheran Church, was requested to get the approval from one of the four
property owners to allow the sign to be put on private property. If this
permission was approved, the Planning Commission recommended approval of
the request.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of approval or denial of variance request.*
5. Consideration of Sub -Division of Mel Worth's Stor-A-Way Property.
Mr. Mel Worth has applied for a subdivision to divide the lot where the

6. Consideration of Contract for Police Service for 1979 with Wright County
Sheriff's Department.
Enclosed, please find a letter dated November 15, 1978 from Darrell Wolff,
Wright County Sheriff's Department, detailing the proposed contract for
police service at the rate of $10.50 per hour. Additionally, please find
a sample law enforcement contract which is exactly like the City's current
contract, except for filling in the final approved amounts and other
details.
It should be pointed out that the rate for 1976 was $9.00 per hour, and
resulted in a total contract of $60,048 based on 16 hours of service for
weekdays, and 24 hours of protection on Friday's and Saturdays.
The proposed contract for 1979 using the same schedule would result in a
total contract of $70,056, or an increase of 16.67%.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of contract with Wright County Sheriff's
Department for 1979.
REFERENCES: Enclosed letter from Darrell Wolff and proposed contract.
7. Consideration of Ordinance Amendment - On --Street Parking.
Current Monticello City ordinances prohibit parking on any street bet-
ween the hours of 2 A.M. and 6 A.M. This provision is in addition to
another ordinance which prohibits parking on City streets which impedes
snow removal operations at any time.
Now that the City has, for the most part, completed its curb and gutter
project and street improvement program, I have contacted the Wright County
Sheriff's Department to insure that both of these ordinances are enforced.
There is some concern from the Wright County Sheriff's Department repro-
sentatives relative to the provision prohibiting parking from 2 A.M. to
6 A.M., and their concern was to be consistent, they would want to enforce
this ordinance during the summertime and wintertime, so it would not leave
any ambiguity within the provision. Additionally, they asked if the City
would not want to consider a provision where no parking would be allowed
that would impede snow removal operations, but additionally, no parking
would be allowed from 2 A.M. to 6 A.M. only during a stated period of
time. For example, from November let through May let. They indicated
some concern for tagging people in the middle of summer for parking on
a City street at 3 A.M., for example. Several cities do prohibit parking
from a stated period of time, but this is only prohibited during a certain
time of the year. The concern of the Wright County Sheriff's Department
was that an individual. who had his car removed in the summertime might
not be aware of the provision, and since there was not a need of snow
removal operations, he would not understand why his car was being removed.
However, the Wright County Sheriff's Department did indicate that they
wanted to be consistent, and if the dty did not change the ordinance,
they want to enforce the ordinance equally during the summertimo as
during the wintertime, so there will be no question or ambiguity on the
part of the car owner.

Agenda Supplement - 11/25/78
Somewhat of a related item to this issue is, I have had a request from
l one of the existing apartment owners who currently does not have suf-
ficient space for off-street parking. This individual asked if the City
intended to enforce the ordinance relative to on -street parking during
this winter season, and I indicated that we would and this was one of
tre advantages of having a definitive outline of the street with a curb
d gutter barrier. This individual indicated concern in that he would
e putting in a parking provision next summer, but hasn't made adequate
provision at this point other than to have the cars park on the lawn, etc.,
and felt it would be fairly hard for them to get over a curb barrier.
(' I did mention to the individual that if he did plan to put in a parking
lot next summer, it really wouldn't hurt the grass if the cars would park
in the same proposed area, and additionally, it should be pointed out
that property owners were contacted as to the location of any proposed
curb cuts so that they could be put in now. This individual asked
` that the City could at least consider the possibility of not imposing
moi\ the on -street parking ordinance during this winter for apartments that
do not have adequate space right now for off-street parking.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of amending the ordinance and also
granting variances to apartment houses which do not.
currently have adequate space for off-street parking.
8. Consideration of Final Payment to Arcon Construction on 1977-1 Improve-
ment Pro,lect.
Our City Engineers are recommending final payment to Arcon Construction
for the 1977-1 Improvement Project (completion of sewer and some water
services to Oakwood Industrial Park). The Engineer recommends approval
contingent upon receipt of an affidavit and various state forms for
withholding along with waiver of lien rights from Arcon Construction Co.
For your information, the total construction amount plus change orders
was $434,361.40, and the final payment request is for $46,116.58 for total
tZmente of $431,047.30. Please note that this is $3,314.10 less than
the original contract amount, and the reason for this is that there was
an underrvn on the quantity estimates.
POSSIBLE AMON: Consideration of approval of final payment on 1977-1
Improvement Project.
9. Consideration of Assipnins Name to Park in Country Club Manor and Renaming
Street.
Howard Cillham is requesting the City of Monticello name the park within
the Country Club Manor as Gillham Park, and additionally, is requesting
that the road which rune between the commercial and residential property
in a northwest - moutheast fashion be renamed from Country Club Road
to Cillham Road.
—6—
A
Agenda Supplement — 11/27/78
It is my understanding that this name change does meet with the approval
of the present developer of the land, Marvin George, but I have been
trying to contact Mr. George by phone to see if he would approve of the
name change.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of request to designate park as Gillham
Park and rename road from Country Club Road to Gillham
Road.
10. Vacancv on H.R.A.
Enclosed, please find a copy of a letter from Jean Powers in which she
resigns from the H.R.A. Committee. Primary reason for resigning will
be her duties as a Board Member of the Hospital District.
This matter is brought to your attention not so much for a specific
action, but to at least make you aware of the resignation and also
the fact that at the January let meeting, the new Council will have to
appoint two members to the H.A.A. Committee, one to fill Jean Powers
vacancy, and the other to make an appointment for William Anderson
whose term expires January 1st or 1979.
Additionally, I would like to write a letter to Jean Powers on behalf
of the Monticello City Council thanking her for her past efforts.
POSSIBLE ACTION: None necessary.
REFERENCES- Enclosed letter from Jean Powers.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council Members
FROM: Gary Wieber, City Administrator
DATE: November 24, 1978
SUBJECT: Sign for Vance's Standard
This memorandum is to inform you that I did receive a phone
call from Sam Peraro relative to the proposed sign for the
Vance's Standard Station at the intersection of I-94 and
State Highway 25. As you may recall, Mr. Peraro has had
preliminary approval on a Planned Unit Development, and
one of the requirements of a Planned Unit Development is
to have a detailed landscaping plan, lighting plan, etc.,
which would also incorporate a plan for signs.
When Mr. Peraro initially got approval for the Planned Unit
Development, a question on signs was brought up, but the
Council felt that this should be more appropriately taken up
at the time the detailed site plan was presented for the
Vance's Standard Station. Mr. Peraro called after I had
the agenda completed, and requested if he could talk to the
Council on Monday evening relative to the signs. I indi-
cated to him that it was his prerogative, but did not place
him on the agenda, per as, pursuant to previous Council
action, and felt any comments or questions he had could come
up under citizens comments.
It is my understanding that Mr. Peraro will essentially be
asking the Council for the okay to allow a sign which does
meet the City ordinances relative to square footage, but does exceed
the height limitations at the Vance's Standard Station.
Initially it was proposed to have more than one pylon sign,
but Vance and Sam Peraro have agreed to put up only one sign.
I have indicated to both of them that this normally would be
subject to the further reviow as previously mentioned at tho
time the Planned Unit Dovolopment was taken up.

Mr. Gary Wieber
City Administrator
City of Monticello
Monticello, MN.
Dear Mr. Wiebert
Please read this letter to the council as
item number one on your agenda tonight.
First I want to thank the council for granting
me a sixty day extension in respect to my rezoining
application.
In these past sixty days I have talked with
many people within our community to assess the need
for the option of deluxe condominium living. Many
of them would very much appreciate seeing this
council act on zoning so other than single family
homeowners may have the opportunity to enjoy home
life on the beautiful Mississippi River.
I have alsor.considered my friends and neighbors
opinions who oppose this issue. I have alnays felt
that there would be no logical opposition if people
were shown full plans and specifications along with
restrictive covenants. I have not located the
exact building designs for this property and there-
fore cannot produce at this time these necessary
documents.
� With all this in mind, I respectively request
-/ withdrawal of my application for resoining Lot S.
Sandberg Riverside.
Thanks again for your consideration on this
matter.
Your truly,
John � ndberg

REGULAR MI EPING - MONTICELLO CITY COUNCIL
November 13, 1978 - 7:30 P. M.
Members Present: C. 0. Johnson, Dan Blonigen, Arve Grimsmo, Gene Walters,
Phil White.
1. Consideration of Rezoning Reauest from Rel to Rr3 on Lot 5. Block 1.
Riverside Addition - John Sandberg.
A letter was presented by John Sandberg to the City Council requesting
the withdrawal of his application for his rezoning request for lot 5 of
Block 1 of Sandberg Riverside Addition. The withdrawal request was based
on the fact that he did not have full plans and specifications to present
to the Council. (See supplement 11-13-78 i11).
2. Consideration of Variance Reouest from Parking Lot Curb Barrier Reauire_
menta - Silver Fox Motel.
At a previous Council Meeting, a variance request from the parking lot curb
barrier requirements at the Silver Fox Motel was denied by the Council,
but there was discussion by the Council that they might be receptive to ,
a variance if a particular time limit was set.
Mr. Larson requested the variance again to allow the elimination of the
curb barriers around his truck parking lot to allow for more maneuver-
ability of the semi -trailers to get in and out of the parking lot,
especially during the busy season. W. Larson also stated that the curb
barriers recently installed have been damaged by the heavy trucks running
over them, and requested a variance for up to 24 months as future expar:_
cion may occur in tho area in which the curb barriers are required.
chile some Council members felt a 12 month time limit would be appropriate,
it was also noted that the. present curb barriers required are not perma-
nent in nature, and therefore would not be a hardship to remove if
expansion would occur.
Motion was made by D. Blonigen, seconded by P. White to grant a variar.,e
extension fur up to one year on the parking lot curb barrior installat1,r..
Voting in favor: D. Blonigen, P. White, A. Grimsmo. Oppu::iA: G. Walter:;,
C. Johnson. Motion denied since a 4/5's vote is requirei fjr approval.
ansideration of AoDrovinR Surety Arrangements for Oakwood Iniustriv:
Park Partnership on the Immrovement of Dundas Road.
:!.: Oakwood Industrial Park Partnership proposed a surety arrang-m-at
t: cover the improvewnt of Dutdas Road by submitting a notft to th••
aright County State Bank in care of the City of Monticello.
/ .2—
C
Minutes - City Council - 11/13/78
This arrangement would allow the City of Monticello to utilize the note
for 1� times the amount of improving Dundas Road if the project were not
completed to the satisfaction of the City.
Councilman Gene Walters indicated that he would be abstaining from any
discussion and voting on the issue since he did have an interest in the
Oakwood Partnership.
The proposed arrangement was reviewed by City Attorney, Gary Pringle,
and in his opinion, the arrangement would protect the City if the improve-
ment was not completed to the satisfaction of the City.
Motion was made by P. White, seconded by A. Grimsmo to approve the surety
arrangement as presented with the comments made by City Attorney, Gary
Pringle. Voting in favor: C. Johnson, P. White, A. Grimsmo.
Abstaining: G. Walters, Dan Blonigen.
4. Consideration of Policy Relative to Four -Fifths (4/5's) Voting Require-
ments.
The current Monticello City Zoning Ordinances covering requests for
rezonings, variances and conditional use permits require a 4/515 vote
for approval of the City Council.
Council di5co55ion centered on whether an applicant would have the
prerogative of coming back to the Council at a later date to get approval
if his request was voted and approved upon by the members, but the 4/5's
vote was not possible because of one or more councilmen being absent
at the meeting. Also discussed was the possibility that applicants for
re_onings, variances and conditional use permits be asked if they only
want the request heard before a full council. If the applicant so indi-
cates, an item requiring 4/5'3 vote would not be brought up a Council
Meeting unless all members were present. This would eliminate the
Council's voting on a request with less than full membership and then
having the item brought back at a later date in order to get the 4/5's vote.
Hearing no motion, the policy requiring a 4/5's vote for approval on
any variance, conditional use or rezoning request was left as i3 with
the understanding that an applicant can request that the item be dropped
from the Agenda if a full Council is not present. If an item is heard
bwfore less than a full Council and it is voted upon, thi, deci5lon ro.-arh�;d
woul.i be final.
5. .;onsiderstion of Variance for Off -Premise Sign - electro Industries.
since the policy relative to 4/5's voting requiraewits was riot chwt;- i
;n Item .,. above, allowing for an applicant to come back to a N11
Zoun "l if a request was previously denied, this item was not heard.
b. Renort from Civil Defense Director - Doug Pitt.
Civil Defense Director, Doug Pitt, was not present at the awntine, uif
this Item was dropped from the Agenda.

Minutes - city Council - 11/13/72
7. Consideration of Adootion of 1976 Edition of Uniform BuildinR Code.
On September 16, 1978, the newly adopted Minnesota State Building Code
went into effect in the State of Minnesota, and the Building Official,
Loren Klein, recommended that the new 1976 Edition of the Uniform Build -
Ing Code be adopted by the Council.
In the current ordinances relating to the adoption of the Building
Code, a provision requires hardsurfacing of all driveways in single
and two-family homes. In addition, in the zoning ord urance sections,
hardsurfacing of driveways is exempted in the case of single and two-
family dwellings.
Motion was made by A. Grimsmo, seconded by D. Blonigen and unanimously
carried to adopt the latest 1976 Edition of the Uniform Building Code
and to exclude the requirement of hardaurfaced driveways for single
and two-family dwellings.
In addition, motion was made by D. Blonigen, seconded by P. White and
unanimously carried to adopt the 1976 Uniform Fire Code in lieu of the
present 1973 Code. (See ordinance amendment p62 dated 11/13/78)
8. Consideration of Requiring Registration for Rental Units in the City of
Monticello.
Building Official, Loren Klein, recommended to the Council that a regio-
tration system for all rental units in Monticello be adopted to insure
that all rental properties would be inspected. This ordinance amendment,
if adopted, would require all rental property -owners to register their
property on an annual basis. The Building Official indicated that
this would provide a basis for systematic inspections since possibly the
numerical order of registration would be the order in which property
would be inspected.
It was the Council consensus that rental registration of all property
in Monticello would not be require!, and that the Building, Official
should use his own discretion in determining a systematic system for
inspecting these properties.
9. Cansideratlon of Ektansion of Time for a Portion of the 1978-1 Imnruv.+.a r.*.
Pro ect.
9orthdale Construction requeuted that the City grant them an additiwrg9
extension of time from November 1st until Spring 1979 for the com.,Ioti n
of vn.rete curb and gutter in the Riverside Addition.
TI& reason for this request was that concrete for the curie oral cutter ,n .
nit available, and may not bre available until it is too late to compl t -
this Fail.
:Motion was male by P. White, seconded by D. Blonigen and w,animously
carried to approve the extension of time until July 1, 1979. It was
nated that if construction of homes and certificate of occupancy re-
quests were to take place in this area before the streets were complt-t«d,
a variance may be necessary to allow for the occupancy of the home.
