AGENDA SUPPLEMXNT
1. Public Hearing on a Variance to Erect Two Billboards - Travelers Adver-
tising Company.
PURPOSE: To consider a variance request by Travelers Advertising Com-
pany to be allowed to erect two (2) outdoor advertising signs (bill-
hnardn). Those billboards are to he located on Lots 9 and 11 of Thomas
Park.
According to our ordinance, outdoor advertising sions which are off -
premise are not allowed. According to nxr Ray Galarneault, president
of Travelers Advertising Company, this request is similar to a request
filed by Blocher Outdoor Advertising Company. You may recall Blocher
outdoor Advertising Company was granted a request to resurrect a sign
that was partially damaged due to wind and also to replace an existing
sign with a new sign of single pole construction and this area was
also landscaped.
It should be pointed out that in the request from Mr. Pay Calarneault,
there are some differences from that application filed by Blocher out-
door Advertising Company. The main difference, in addition to land-
scaping, is the fact that the proposal does not necessarily replace two
existing signs. Currently, there are two billboards that exist on the
lots in question, however, those arc going to be removed by Blocher
Outdoor Advertising and Travelers Advertising Company'hasasked to put
`tl� p signs on the same locations. As a result, it is not necessarily
a qucation of replacing an existing sign with another sign, but a
`q question of having two (2) signs brought down and putting up two com-
pletely new ones by another company.
0
ti At their last meeting regarding thin item, the Planning Connission on a
bi.lit two to one voto recommended to the council that the variance be..
denied based on the fact that Monticello City Ordinances aro intended
over a period of time to amortize out existing billboards and also to
distinguish the application of fir. Galarneault with Travelers Adver-
ly� Yy tiling Company from the one that wan previously filed by Blocher out-
door Advertising Company. It should be pointed out that Blocher Out-
door Advertising Company was in fact, denied another variance appli-
cation for additional billboards that would have replaced the onon that
he is proposing to take down in Thomas Park, although thooe were pro-
posed to ho put on tho north side of 1-94.
h
tb N7 Mr. Galarneault has appealed the decision of the Planning Commission
to the City Council.
POSSI91A ACTION: Consideration of approval or denial of the variance
request to erect two (2) billboards on tato 9 and 11 of Thomas Park."
If the variance in approved, a condition should be that the existing
signs he removed prior to allowing two additional signs to be erected.
'All variance requests require
4/5'a vote of the Council
for approval. - 1 -

2. Public Bearing G,n a Setback Variance - Bnnelhus Corporation.
PURPOSE: To consider a variance request by Bondhus Corporation to
allow a warehouse building within five feet of the front property line.
Previously, Bondhus Corporation received approval from the Planning
Commission to construct a wareheuue within 22 fact of the front prr,norty
as opposed to the 40 foot front yard setback normally required.
According to Mr. Sondhus, when building on the structure started, the
foreman inadvertently moved the structure to within five feet of the
front yard property line without the knowledge of �r. Bondhus. As soon
as this was brought to Mr. Bondhus's attention, all construction on this
project was stopped in order that a variance may be considered.
At their Planning Commission meeting, a variance request was recommended
for approval by the Planning Commission. It should be pointed out that
Mr. Bondhus, due to a conflict of interest, abstained from the voting.
As a result, this matter is being brought forth to the council since it
would have required a 4/5's vote of the Planning Commission (another
member of the Planning Commission was also absent).
In the consideration of this item, you may want to note that because of
the configuration of this lot and the entire property of Bondhus Corpor-
ation, it is quite unlikely that any development will ever occur to the
cast of this building and that any development to the west of this pro-
posed building would be on the Bondhus Corporation property itself. Add-
itionally, the width of the highway at this location is quite wide and
therefore, the building would moot likely not distort the aesthetics of
the surrounding buildings by being closer to the front yard set back
than is required by ordinance.
POSSIBLE ACTIOU: Consideration of approval or denial of the variance
request to allow a warehouse to be within five fact of the front prop-
erty line.*
RPTERENCES: An enclosed plat map showing the location of the building
an approved at the lost public hearing and the location of the building
an it is now )ring constructed. Also enclosed, aro the minutes of Aug-
ust 11, 19AI Planning Commission meeting.

j� 3. Consideration of an Ordinance Amendment and Conditional Use for a
Horse Arena/Little Mountain Riders.
PURPOSE: To consider a request by Little Mountain Riders of Monticello
to amend our ordinance to allow a horse arena as a conditional use in
/ an R-3 zone and to apply for a conditional use permit.
The proposed area of the horse arena is the Maurice Hoglund property -
immediately east of Curt's Sales s Storage in Monticello on west County
Road 75. Since this area is zoned as R-3, it will be necessary to con
1�aider an ordinance amendment that would allow such use in a residential
IWinne..
JCurrently, under Monticello City Ordinances, a horse arena is only
allowed as a conditional use in an agricultural area with the following
conditions.
h1. Animal building, holding, grazing, and exercise areas are located
a minimum of 1,000 feet from any residential, commercial, or in-
dustrial use district.
2. The land area of the property containing such use or activity
meets the minimum established for that district.
3. The Planning Commission shall consider possible adverse effects
of the proposed amendment or conditional use. Ito judgement
shall be haled upon (but not limited to) the following factors:
A. Its relationship to the municipal comprehensive plan.
A. The geographical area involved.
C. Whether such use will tenni to or actually depreciate the area
in which it is proposed.
D. The character of the surrounding area.
E. The demonstrated need for the proposed use.
4. All applicable requirements of the State Pollution Control Agency
` are complied with.
You will also note Lhat enclosod, is a letter from John Uban of Howard
Dahlgren Associates regarding this subject. Mr. Uban indicates that
this particular use is not compatible with the residential zona.
Of primary concern is the provision in the ordinance requiring a horse
arena to he 1,000 foot from any residential, commercial, or industrial
use district. Since the property itself In zoned as residential, a vari-
ance would be necessary oven if a conditional use were approved. Addi-
tionally, parking spaces would be roquirod for 123 cars based on the
horse arena, which would be 100 foot by 225 feat. If tho conditional uao
were approved, The Little Mountain Ridera would ask for a variance from
/ hard surface parking.
At their last meeting, the Planning Conmianion hold a public hearing on
this item and received a petition, a copy of which is enclosed, from
surrounding property owners in opposition to the request. As a result
of this, the Planning Commiooion voted unanimously to recommend donial
3
Council Agenda - 8/24/81
of the conditional use permit request and denial of an ordinance
amendment to allow such use within a residential zone.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of approval of conditional use permit
and an ordinance amendment to allow a horse arena as a conditional use
within an R-3 zone. -
REFERENCES: August 11, 1981 Planning Commission minutes, previously
sent out, a letter from John Uban of Howard Dahlgren Associates, and a
proposed plot as submitted by Little Mountain Riders showing the approxi-
mate location of the arena in the parcel of land.
4. Consideration of a Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Unit Development -
Country Club Manor - Second Addition.
PURPOSL: To considez a request by Marvin GCcrgc Builders for the deveiur-
ment and final plan stage of a Planned Unit Development for Country Club
Manor, Second Addition. As you may recall, the Council previously approved
the concept stage for a Planned Unit Development in this area. The develop-
ment calls for 26 -four unit townhouses.
Enclosed for your reference, is a proposed layout of the Planned unit De-
velopment itself. At the hearing on this matter, the Planning Commission
voted unanimously to approve the conditional use permit request contin-
gent upon 2 rows of Scotch pines being planted along the freeway which is
in accordance with the landscaping plan provided by Mr. George and reviewed
and approved by the city attorney, the Homeowners Association Agreement
relative to maintenance of the commons areas including the proposed four
cul de sac streets into the development itself.
Mr. Marvin George also asks our city engineer to review the proposed
streets to be placed within this development. Although Mr. George is
not dedicating these streets to the city at this time, he felt that if
such a proposal ware ever made, he wanted to be sure that they met the
specifieationo and the design standards of our city engineer.
POSSIBLE' ACTION: Consideration of a motion to grant approval on a condi-
tional use permit request for a Planned Unit Development on both the
development and final plan stage contingent upon the following:*
- City attorney review an approval of Homeowners Association Agreement.
- landscaping barrier of two rows of Scotch pines to be planted along
the freeway prior to the issuance of any building permit. (Homeowners
Association Agreement Should include maintenance of troea).
- Interior Street abutting each townhouse complex must be completed
with proper drainage, pavement, etc., before any townhouse is granted
a certificate of occupancy.

ordinance amendments require 4/5'o

Commission minutes of August 11, 1981, previously sent out.
5. Consideration of Approval of a 3.2 Beer (Non-Intoxicatinq malt
Liquor) License - St. Henry's Church.
PURPOSE: To consider an application for a temporary 3.2 Seer L1C—
ense from St. Henry's Catholic Church for their fall festival sche-
duled for September 20, 1981.
In previous years, the church has requested a temporary one day
3.2 Beer License for their fall festival which lasts from 12:00
noon to 6:00 P.M. Since the property of the city is not being
used for the occasion, we have not required liquor liability in-
surance.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of approval of 3.2 Boor License
for St. Penry's Catholic Church for September 20, 1981.

6. Consideration of Change Orders 011 thru 414 with Paul A. Laurence
Construction Company on the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
PURPOSE: To consider four change orders with the Paul A. Laurence Com-
pany regarding the construction and the upgrading of the Wastewater
Treatment plant.
The
four change orders are as follows:
DESCRIPTION
CHA14GE
011
Deletion of pipe mounted sludge density
sensor, transmitter, and indicator (de-
vices 45 AE,AR,AI). Sampling frequency
requirement for thickened sludge can
adequately be achieved by manual collec-
Deduction of
tion and lab analysis.
($3,911.00)

With these change orders, the contract completion data would be ex-
tended from September 24, 1982 to October 28, 1982 and an additional
$10,733.^0 would be added to the contract amount. It is my understandiny
that all of the changes are subject for reimbursement from the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency and the Environmental Protection Agency, and as
a result the city would incur an additional 10 percent of this amount
or $1,073.30.
POSSIRIX ACTIONi Consideration of approval of Change Orders 011 thru

7. Liquor Store Report for the Six Months ending June 30, 1981.
PURPOSG To review with the liquor store manager the financial state-
ments for the six month period ending June 30, 1981.
Enclosed, please find a financial statement for the Liquor Store. Of
particular interest are the following items:
- Gross profit percentages. Overall gross profit percentages Glee
down almost 1% from 20.61 to 19.63%. While the gross percentage
on wine is up approximately 2%, this is more than off set by a
decrease in the gross profit percent for liquor and beer.
- Sales. Overall sales are up almost $42,000.00 or 11.86% from
the period ended June 30, 1980. Most of this Increase is
probably due to inflation rather than volume.
Operating income. Operating income is down almost 1% from
7.93% to 7%. Primary reason for this is in the salary category
where an assistant manager is currently being employed under the
CF.TA Program. It should be pointed out that this is somewhat
off set under the other income categories since we do get reim-
bursed for a period of time for this salary. It should also be pointed
out that the operating intone for the second quarter of 1981
was up $1,915 over a comparable period a year ago, but this was
not enough to off set the decrease in operating income from the first
quarter.
- flet income. Overall net income is up $7,164.00 or up approxi-
mately 3/4 of a percent. This in due to a reimbursement for the
CETA salaries which is classified under "Other Income and an
increase in interest income and an increase in sales.
Mark Irmiter, Liquor store Manager, will be at Monday night's meeting
to review the financial statements with the council.
POSSIBLR ACTIONi Consideration of acceptance of Liquor Store Financial
Statements for the period anding Juno 30, 1981.
REFrREtICrS: An enclosed copy of financial statement for the Liquor
Store.

Council Agenda - 8/24/81
8. Consideration of Authorization to Apply for Grant Amendment on the
Wastewater Treatment Plant.
PURPOSE: To consider authorization to apply for a grant amendment
covering legal fees, technical costs, and possible change order
costs relative to the City of Monticello's contract with the Paul
A. Laurence Company on the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
This grant amendment is being proposed as a result of a claim filed
by Waldor Pump Company of Minneapolis who are contesting the fact
that a certain type of sludge pump is not accepted as a reasonable
substitution. Weldor Pump Company is the subcontractor to the prime
contractor, the Paul A. Laurence Company. Weldor Pump proposed to
install Wilden Pumas, but these were not acceotable in the ooinion
of our engineering firm, Orr-Schelen-Mayeron 6 Associates, Inc.
OSM directed Paul A. Laurence, through their subcontractor, to pro-
vide Dorr-Oliver ODS Pumps to satisfy the contract specifications.
Enclosed, please find a letter from Waldor Pump Company to the
Paul A. Laurence Company relative to the matter and also a letter
that OSM has drafted and requests that the City of Monticello send
to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. The purpose of this
letter will be to notify the Pollution Control Agency of the possible
claim on the part of Waldor Pump Company and to make these costa along
with legal and technical costa associated with defense of the claim
grant eligible.
John Radalich, our engineer, will explain this matter more fully at
Monday night's Council meeting. However, it should be pointed out that
our engineer fools that the City of Monticello should in no way accept
Wilden Pumps since there is a danger of operating deficiencies of a
magnitude that would not be acceptable in their opinion. Furthermore,
it is my understanding that our engineer fools that the City of Monti-
cello will be successful in dofending any claim that Waldor Company
may have in thin regard.
POSSIRLP ACTION: Consideration to cook a grant amendment to defend
the claim filed by Waldor Pump Company on the sludge pumps.
REFERENCES: A Copy of the letter from Waldor Company to the Paul A.
Laurence Company and a proposed letter from the City of Monticello to
the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.

OUR COMPANY STATEMEn OF POLICY July i, 19E0
1.) Our company is in the business of outdoor advertising. We build adver-
tising sizes and rent them to customers on a contract basis. We believe
that our customers have a legitimate right to use outdocr advertising
and that wa have a i,git!-rote right to build signs to display thcl.r ad-
vertisint; in commercial or industrial zones, subject to reasonable lawa.
2•) We will not build an advertising sign on any land until we have a sinned
land lease agreement with the owner of the land or his agent.
3•) .AddYartising signs are not the "highest and best" use of commercial or In-
dustria+ real catate. We know that many of our signs will eventually h,
removed "o make way for now business development. Wh_n this happen, ao
will re --e our sial:(a) and attempt to relocate th.n in another commerci.Al
or industrial zone on a legal location with a now land lease agruerent.
4.) We will n^ver build an advertising sign in a residential or agricultural
zone, or within 5CO feet of a church or school.
5.} We recognize the need for local zoning and building cries, and we will
never build an advertising sign until we have secured aria paid for a
building permit or license from the local governinF 1>xiy.
5.} We recognize Minnesota Statute #173 which regulator, outdoor advertising
on federally -aided highways in Minnesota. When thn.t Statute requires, we
will not begin building an advertising sign until ae have made applicltion
for a State Permit and submitted the fee money. I1' we are denied the
State Permit and we differ with the Highway Department on the lnter-,xc-
tation of the law, we will follow the legal process to determine I-' the
denial was in order and/or if the "....permit systcmj of legitirato local
zoning authorities take rsecedence". In any event, .to believe tilt the
local building rernit or license is the most importa•tt and we will net
erect a sign structure without a permit or license 11xom the local authority.
7•) Once built, we x111 keep our advertising signs in ,woad repair at all tires
so that they can ef£nctively carry their message to the public, and so
that they will not degrade the general appearance of the area near the Sign.
We will always carry adequate liability insurance .n our advertisir, cl na.
We will renew and pay for all licenses and permits w -ton ;hey come due.
9.) We believe that we provide a legitimate service to tizone 1`.teinesctm aro
need to advertise their food, accomodations, goods and services to the
public wnile thev are traveling in their vehicle.
10.) We do nc solicit tusiness from industries such ar, beer, liquor or tali cco
that are conmcnly available in many stores and offfciivoly use otta:r modia.
We prefer to offer our few legal locations to tra%i-l-oriented busir:ea:;es.
11.) We do nr.. lolieve that "billboard alleys" should to created, rcg,Lrdlesa
of exlst'n( regulations. We will attempt to maint:.in 1,000 fent tpzcinn
between signs whenever possible and we will never erect a now aiirr within
500 fee' mf an existing sign an the same side of Ilio street.
12.) We will :at display advertising for businesses of inm city within bra
of anotlor city unless it reads to the traveling lolls is they it!= tt.0
city for the next city.

of locating those. facilities 1,000 feet from any re;l:lent-ldl,
m
comercial, or industrial district. This constraint, even within the
agricultural zone is a heavy burden for a small piece of land. The
land in question appears not to be able to accommodate those kinds of
setbacks.
A method of allowing a riding arena on this piece of: land would be to
zone the land to agricultural from the R-3 Zoning it now has and
prepare to look at a variance for the 1,000 foot net.Gtck. This may
not be .advisable because it is contrary to the direction of City growth
in thir particular area.
Some of the concerns listed below will be those which should be
addressed when con::idering a horse arena for any arta whether it i:;
agriculturally zontd or residentially zoned.
1. Buiso. Th:.nc drenas tend to be used on wuel.enls for horse
:.hoax Which are tho very same timen when most residential
areas are filled with people. Theno utco ray find
t.hemselve t incompatible its that respect.
2. Dust.,, oust from arenas, since they are generally dirt ,
roverel,can. be a problem depending upon itr; proximity to
residential areas.
3,. Screoniuq. Appropriate screening should Ix, itr.ta114a1 re,, that
all of the uno is completely separated from.. adjuining
residantibl areas and/or public traffic ar,as.
d, glare from Liqhts. When the arena is•beirq used at night.,
gluro from lights needs to be controlled co aq not.ko
inflict undue amounts of light into neighl.oritul.pfoperties..
9, Beverages. Often times these areas provitlo entTrtaimnont
„nth t.ho ardltt of bevera0ttn can provide addlt.isnnl nufeanees
for nefghhors.,
6. Pat Piiinnti, Parking for thSa typo of faclllt!� +>uld ho h1
toughly on the Ordinance calling for 20 stalls, then one
stall per 200 square frets or one per eight Netts if there
It; .crena seating. This parking should be lo-oll,ctl lit such
a wJy ds to meet all parking requirements.
7. ,;ours of M�etation. This 1:articular faciltt; can be
;jpvratcd it almost any time and contruls rem !d he places
ulna it ao that the operation hours were not nccmlatible
with those uses surrounling it.

This letter is written to Appeal, officially, a decision of
the Monticello Planning Commission to deny your company a
Variance to replace the existing two sign structures on Lots
9 and 11 with new steel units, within the removal provisions
of the current Monticello City Ordinance,
It is our understanding that an appeal must be filed within
six (6) to take effect. We believe that this letter is then
timely.
We will outline our reasons for appealing the decision in
subsequent writing and in oral presentation before the City
Council because all of the facts aro not at our disposal at
this time.
We would like to advise the City of Monticello that the
sign structures currently on the property (Lots 9 and 11)
are probably the property of the landowners as improvements
to a leanehold, and should not be touched by other parties,
Including the City.
If you need further information to effect this Appeal please
let mn know, Thank Youl

SOFTBALL ASSOCIATION
Although I have not received any further information from the Softball
Association or heard from them, it is my understanding that they may
possibly appear at Monday night's meeting in regard to requesting im-
provements for the so called NSP Ball Park in Monticello. At the last
meeting of August 3, 1981, there appeared to be some difference of
opinion among the Softball Association members as to exactly what they
wanted. There was an indication at one point that they were looking
for assistance in the purchase and hauling of dirt, whereas the spokes-
man for the group at the August 3rd meeting indicated that they were
seeking financial help up to $6,000.00 to buy black dirt and sod the
two fields in the NSP Ball Park. According to the spokesman, the soft
hall league would provide all the labor.
There probably is no question that this type of expenditure would be a
legal expenditure. Additionally, other cities in the arca arc providing
to a certa in extent, softball or baseball fields for community activities.
However, there are other communities who do not provide anything. For
those communities that do provide fields for the most part, they are
available for use for the general public as opposed to one particular
group. 'viditionally, their costs are included in an overall summer
recreation program which the city is already involved in and has budgeted
over $8,000.00 for 1981.
I think of additional prime concern is the fact that at all levels of
government - federal, state, and local, restrictions are }wing imposed
on upending limits, cut backs, etc. Am a result of this, more and more
communitic Barn looking at increasing license fees, user fees, and permit
fees, etc. Monticello, for example, recently reviewed its fee schedule
for liquor, license and building permits. Possibly the Softball Associa-
tion coulel review its fee schedule for participants and also a determina-
tion made similar to the summer recreation program, what percentage of
the partic ipanto are actually City of Monticollo residents.
And as a result, there are many issues to be addressed among which are
the following:
- Participant fees.
- Parcontago of participants that are city rosidenta.
- Poosibility of incorporating this program into the summer recreation
program with Committee of School Advisory Board.
- Any precedents sot for other groups.
- would use be dedicated to one association or would public urso be
allowed.

COUNCIL UPDATE
August 24, 1981
- Establishment of some guidelines as to the city's future involve-
ment, if any. (Initially, the City of Monticello paid for approxi-
mately $2,000.00 1n fencing for the softball fields along with
making arrangements for the purchase with NSP for the lease of
the property for 99 years. The City of Monticello does mow the
grass and has periodically made minor improvements to the field
at the request of the Softball Association.
My recommendation at this point would be to consider any expenditure
over 51,000 for the City of Monticello's 1982 budget. Of course, this
would probably mean that the playing fields would not be immediately
improved, but this would be similar to the City of Monticello's schedul-
ing improvements to the various parks.
SET-UP LICENSE. FEE - MONTICELLO ROD 6 GUN CLUB.
Robb Klein, president of the Monticello Rod 6 Gun Club, indicated that
he had talked to some council members about a reduced set-up license
fee and he indicated that there was some receptiveness to this since
the Rod 5 Gun Club only uses the license on a few occasions. According
to State Statutes, a temporary license for set-ups is not allowed, but
Robb Klein indicated that he talked to the Liquor Control Corcnissioncr's
office about the possibility of having a different fee structure for
different nlARves of I1cense. Apparently, there are soma ritiea sneh
as Minneapolis, who do not have a separate classification for different
types of intoxicating liquor licenses such as a bar or bar with dancing,
etc. i indicated to Mr. Klein if there was some receptiveness from the
council, that we could bring this matter up again and it could be re-
scarched further. I also suggested to the Rod 6 Gun Club that since
their license was not temporary and it was good for a year, that if
they would so schedule their steak fries, they could very easily, gat
a license for a ono year period of time and adjust their dates so that
they could actually get 2 steal[ fries in each year under a one year
license. For example, the fist steak fry was on August 14, 1981, and
if next year the Rod 6 Gun Club would hold their steak fries earlier,
they would still be allowed to use their one year license. By rotating
their dates every other year, it would only cost Monticello Rod 6 Gun
Club, in effect, $100.00 for their 2 annual steak fries. Additionally,
of course, the annual license does allow the Monticello Rod s Gun Club
to increaso their numhor of steak fries or other events.

proposer: to open a nursery school in the loser level of the educa-
tional unit of the Methodist Church located on Lots B. 9, and 10.
Block 19, property which is currently zoned light industrial.
A day care or nursery school is currently not allowed as a condi-
tional use except within a residential zoned area, and as a result
the property in question would either have to be rezoned or sit
amendment would have to be added to the industrial zoning, whereby
this use could be allowed as a conditional use.
Mr. John tahan of (toward Dahlgren 6 Associates, consulting planner,
prepared a written report which indicated that a day care or nur(;ry

within industrial and commercial zones since many timea larger inauc-
trien arc, now providing day care centers as a convenience for their
employees. Factors to be considered in allowing a day care Centr,r
within an industrial zone would he such items an general noire levels,
the amount of truck or train traffic in the are;, the type of inviu';-
trial businesses currently located in the area, aid whether dangvr-
ous materials are produced or present, and whether the area in rt•zi's-
tion has a particularly high fire potential.
At the public hearing hold by the Planning Cammission, it was revcm-
rmendtd that the ordinances M, amended to allow a day rare or nuea•ry
school within at. 1-1 zone provided the conditions recommended h:y ti,u
city planner are made part of the ordinance and that any open speci
used .%s rlar,grouni areas for a day care center l}) completely fenced
In.
Mrs. Pam Lindberg indicated that they would ho willing to fence in
the entire parkins lot area that will be used at the Methodist Church
for a playground for the children if their request for a conditional
use was granted. In addition, Mrs. Lindberg not.ed that their present
plann call for utilizing the Methodist Church sit.t for possibly only
one to three yearn and than finding a bettor suited area for the Pump-
kin Patch nursery school,

the granting of a conditional use permit to Pam Lindberg for tho
Pumpkin Patch day care center at the Methodist Church property
provided all cnnditions are met and the entire Llayground area
is fenced in. (See Ordinance Amendment R-3-81 #1o5).
2. Consideration of a Conditional Use Permit for a P11D - Jack Kornovich.
Mr. Jack Kornovich requested a conditional use permit for a Planned
Unit Nvelopment to be located on a parcel of Lint] located hrtwr-n
Cty Road 39 and the railroad tracks lying hetwer•n Kana EuLaten ,and
Northern States Power Company's maintenance building.
The proposed Planned Unit Development would be a residential d( -,v( loy-
Mont conni,titiq of four -12 unit apartment buildings and four -6 unit
garage buildinyu. The request at this meeting was that the approval
be granted on this conditional use permit recueit for the generat

3. Consideration of a Subdivision of Property - Quintin Tanners/Charles
Soucy.
Mr. Quintin tanners recently purchased the north portion of the Way-
side Inn property from Mr. Charles Soucy and requested approval to
subdivide that portion of the property he purchased into four build-
able residential lots.
Lot 1 of the proposed subdivision would consist of 20,000 square feet
and Lors 3, 4, and 5 would he each 12,400 square t'eot. Only Tats 1,
3, 4, and 5 would be owned by Mr. tanners with the remaining tat 2 to
be owned by aur. Soucy as the present site of the Wayside Inn.
As part of the subdivision request, Mr. fanners requested that the city
waive all the subdivision requirements such as street development which
aro not necessary, along with other requirements such as soil scrvcln
and park dedication fees. It was noted that a final plat would be sub-
mitted for approval tbmt 14MUld indicate a new block and lot numbers un
with any subdivision, but the request was for the elimination of unm c-
essary items relating to soil surveys and other reg-mirements.
It was noted that although tats 3, 4, and 5 meet the minimum lot wititti
requirements at the front of the lot abutting thv street, they do not
quite Pipet the lot width at the not back line which is required to Ix,
80 feet. Accordinn to the preliminary sketch plan presented, the miri-
mtmm dimension at the set back line is somewhere between 78.15 teet and
80 feet, being approximately IN feet short of the required 80 foot width
raquirmment. na a result of the approximately 1`a f.�ot variance foe,;ach
lot, PL'. Tanners indicated that he would be willing to stipulate at: u
covenant that no variance request for side yard F. --t back variance:m, ttu.,
would l,e asked for if approved.
Mr. fanners indicated that construction financing for ono of the irolrism
hones on the newly created lots would expire on S•,p+:emter 1, 1981, drt1 if
'the subdivision was approved, the final plat would 'xi prepsrcli ami 60tam an

A motion way meet(, by Maus, seconded by Fair and una.mimously carrir_R to
approve the, preliminary subdivision plan as preacnt.�,d with the approxi-
mate Sm, foot width variances for Lots 3. 4, and t_, au let the waiving of tlmu
subdivision requirements of the city ordinances wit'm tb(, exception that
the park. dedication be provided in cash based on market values. In atldi-
tion,lt the final rlat is submitted and approved by the city anginerr, a
building permit could be issued by the city for one of the lots.

4, Consideration of a Resolution Callinq for the Sale of General Obli-
gation Improvement Bonds of 1981.
Mr. King Forness of Springsted, Inc., the city's binding consultant
submitted to the council their recommendations for the sale of bonds
totaling $490,000.00 to finance the 1981-1 and 1981-2 Improvement
Projects. The 1981-1 Improvement Project consisted of sewer, water,
storm sewer, and street paving for a portion of thu Meadows Subdivision
and River Street from County Road 75 west approximztely 1200 feet. The
1981-2 Improvement Project consisted of storm sewer and street construc-
tion work along Cedar Street from Inuring Lane to the north right-of-way
of Burlington Northern railroad tracks.
The total construction cost for the 1981-1 and 1981-2 Improvement Pro-
jects is estimated to be $437,256.00 with an estimated 22 percent in-
direct cost. In addition to this amount, the bonding consultants rec-
oamended that an additional contingency amount along with cost of issu-
ance, amount-. be added to this figure making the total bond issue $490,000.
Motion was made ty Maus, and seconded by Blonigen and unanimously carried
to ad„pr the re!.olntion authorizing the sale. of general obligation im-
provement bonds for the 81-1 and 81-2 improvement Projects settinq the
date of the sale for September 14, 1981. (See Resolution 1981-027).
5. Consideration of a Resolution Amendinq the Commercial Development Rvvn-
nue Herrin for the Medical Facilities Company Prolect.
At a 1-rrviou,3 cc,uncil mooting held ",t.ril 27, 1981, a resolution wac
adopted granting preliminary approval for the it.Ruance of 1.4 mill3t n
Ln cwamerical devulopmrnt revenue bonds for the medical Facilitien
Company to develop a medical clinic adjacent to the hospital.
The d(welopors of the medical clinic now requested that the council
amend tho preliminary approval by allowing the partnership to sell the
bonds as a puLlic offering to enable the project to proceed since at tl:n
present time, it is not economically feasible for the dave,lopers to find
an ito-titutional investor. The trcviously approved resolutinn indicated
that the commercial development revenue bonds wort, to he. issued and roll
to an in!titutional investor rather than as a public offering.
Legal counsel for the developers has indicated that the underwriting
firm of .furan 6 Moody has made a commitment inditvting that they will
be of;ertng for public este the bonds for this ;reject.
City Attorney, Gary Pringle, teas reviewed the prolv)ski amended rouolntivi
and )as indicat„d that there aro no problems in ap7roving the amms-nded
resulntion.
motirm was made by Maus, %aconded by Blonigen and unanimously carried to
adopt a ret.olution amending the preliminary approvii for the issuance of
industrial devalohreent revenue hunch for the Med,cil Facilities ^_tanpany.

6. Consideration of Awardinq the Contract on the 1991-1 Seal Coating
Improvement Project.
Bids for the seal coating project were received an Friday, July 24,
1981, with six bids received ranging in price frim a low of $16,596.40
at .289C a square yard to a high of $25,428.67 cr .44280 a square. yard.
An alternate was also bid, whereby the city would be responsible for
sweeping the streets after the seal coating projoct was completed and
those bids ranged from a low of $15,505.29 to a high of $23,705.80.
The bids as indicated were based on seal coating approximately 57,427
square yards of street surface.
Public works Director, John Simola, reviewed with the council the bids
received and recommended that the low bidder, Allied Blacktopping, be
awardfYi the contract for seal coating. A representative from Allied
Alacktepl,ing was at the meeting and indicated thtt they plan on start-
ing the seal coating project on Monday, August 10, 1981.
It was noted by Mr. Simola that the 1981 budget allowed up to $28,200.00
for seal coating streets, and it was his recommendation that additional
areas be heal coaled considering the very favorablu bid received from
Allied Blacktopping. The representative from Al.lte,d Blacktopping Company
indicated that t.hey would be willing to do any additional quantities at
their hid i•rice of .2890 a square yard.
A motion was made by Hlu„iyun, sacendad by true and unanimously carrted
to award the contract on the 1981-1 Seal Coating Project to Allied Black-
toppir,3 at the hid amount of .2890 a square yard and to increaua the
quantity amountn of seal coating up to tho budgeted amount of $21,200.00.
7. Consideration of Improvements to NSP'a Pall Park Facilities.
The iurpose of this item was to consider a requcnt made by the Monticello
Slow Pitch Softball League for improvements to the facilities at the
NSP'n Imll park which is leased to the city by NSF.
John SarW bcry, a member of the softball league and speaking for the
members present, requested that the city consider authorizing an
estimated $6,000.00 in improvements consisting of black dirt and,scd
for tLe outfield areas of the ball diamonds. Mr. Sandberg noted tha_
the fiolds are in terrible shape and that it has been a number of years
since the softball league has asked for any assistance from the city in
regard to improvements at the field. Ile noted that the softball aueorl-
ation memlwrr. have installed water to the ball diamonds and havo built
bleaeLera at their own expense and now request stmt a..& tance in pre-
parinq the uutfiolds to a more suitable condition.
Mr. Sandberg intlicated that the city previously had asked the leayue
back in approximately 1972, to move from the 4th Strout ball park to a
different location and as a result the lease wax negotiated with NSP
Compatry for the present site. According to Mr. Sandberg, other com-
munities have municipal ball parks and fields teat are supported ley the
city and he felt, that the request for assistance it providing an adequate
field by aaidinq the area is justified.
council ldinutco - 8/3/81
Council discussion concerning this matter indicated that budgets for
this amount of money are set a year in advance and funds may not be .1
available for this tylia; of improvement. In addition it was pointed
out by council members present that authorization of possibly any
amount cf money for improvements to the ball park, which is bat;icall,
used by the softball association may lead to other requests of a
similar nature by other organizations such as the hockuy association,
etc. The councilmen noted for example, that the hockey associa-
tion does not receive any support from the city other than providing
the use of 4th Street park for their skating rink, etc. The lights
and the rink and yearly upkeep is maintained by the association without
funds from tho city.
John Simola, public Works Director, noted that the city does not
currently have have any black dirt available that could be used at
the lall park and as a result, if the city provided the black dirt,
it would have to be purchased elsewhere.
A suggrsti�in was made to the softball assoclaticn that only one fic-ld
each ^car be improved with dirt, etc., and that in order to cut co:;tt;
the a;:sociation should consider seeding thea grass. rather than sodding,
as it may bccomo difficult to keep both softball fields water( -.3 if
sod was placed on them .
After further discussion, it was the concensus of tho cuuncil that this
item ht tabled until the next council meeting to enable the .{ofrball
assuc: •utiuu to uLtain more in:ormation an to cxaet qudntit leo And
estimated cost of improving the ball park facilit.i.ra,and to enablt 1 -he
eounr.il to stttdy whether money would be available in 1981 for any im-
provement's and whether the city will even consider the funding in
future y,;ars.
8. Considor.itiun of Approving Issuance of Set-Uo m ruse-tn taintieellr, 1�txl

The Monticello Pod a Gun Club has recently applir'd for the issusncft of
a sof-up liconst: at theic establishment for steak 'ries and otlwr 4v,'nF6.
ACcordinrl to the Liquor Control commissioner's afftcc, the Wont ie! Ilo

in addition, (tate Statutem require that a set -uv- License be 1-ttnr•1

A motion was made by Maus, seconded by Blonigen and unanimously
carried to approve the minutes of the July 13, 1981 Council
Meeting and the bills for the month of July as prerented. (See
exhibit 8/7/81 81)
10. Discussicn on Commuter Parkinq Lot and Dust Control alonq Minnesota
Street.
In regard to a previous council's request, John Sinola, Public !Corks
Director, informed the council that Bridgewater Telephone Company
could install a pay phone in the Commuter Parkin lot at an annual
cost of $144.00 per year for the rental of the p,-icstal upon which
the telephone would rest plus an additional ehar,te of $12.00 per
month for the phone. Mr. Simola noted that the , ity would receiv,�
a credit against the $12.00 monthly charge of 10, ler local phone
call made. As a result the minimum cost to the city for the phone
would he $144.00 a year with the maximum cost bcinp $288.00 a year
if the phone is never used.
A motion was made by Blonigan, seconded by Maus .md unanimously
carri„1 to approve authorizing an installation of a phone at the
Commu-cr Parkinq Lot.
Mr. Simola also obtained cost estimates on placing a shelter in the
Commutrr Parkinq i,ot. Pricer+ have been quoted t-*,• firm:: that l,,.v,,
suppliers theto shelters along the Nicollet Mall in Minneapolis an,l
aru c;d Lut-1 to coat approximately $3,non.nO. no decision was mad,
on installing a shelter at the present time as the possibility exit..
for conrttuvtiun of our own nholter and possibly budgeting fur nrrl,
an it - ,i in lgH2.
Public Works Pireetor, John Simola, also noted that he is still 0 -
taininy infurmation regarding possible ways of c,nttroling Aust al .n{
Mirre,',ota Street. Ile noted that although oil can still Ixt of A JNJ sir
