MINUTES REGULAR MEETING - MONTICELLO CITY COUNCIL Monday, February 10, 1992 - 7:00 p.m. Members Present: Shirley Anderson, Clint Herbst, Brad Fyle, Dan Blonigen Members Absent: Ken Maus Acting Mayor: Dan Blonigen 2. Approval of minutes. After discussion, a motion was made by Brad Fyle and seconded by Clint Herbst to approve the minutes of the regular meeting held January 27, 1992, as submitted. Motion carried unanimously. 3. Citizens comments/petitions, requests, and complaints. Tom Holthaus and Steve Holker, developers of the Cardinal Hills residential subdivision, reviewed a sketch plan of phase II of the development area. Special attention was paid to the proposed park area along with a review of the proposed interconnecting pedestrian walkways. It was the consensus of the Council that there were no major problems with the sketch plan. Assistant Administrator O'Neill noted that the sketch plan will bn refined and placed before the Planning Commission and Parks Commission in the form of a preliminary plat. After the preliminary plat has been prepared, City staff will be conducting a detailed site plan review to determine if the plat is consistent with City ordinances regulating residential subdivision development. Consideration of revised concept plan for warminq house/ community buildinq/restrooms in west Bridge Park. John Simola, Public works Director, informed Council that the public works department has revised the concept plan for the building in an effort to reduce the cost of the original proposal as previously requested by Council. Under the now concept plan, the following changes have boon made: The loft and gable and windows have been deleted. The wood stove and chimney have been deleted. The interior finishes on the exterior walls in the restroom have boon deleted by extending the burnished block to the coiling. The two exterior doors to the main area have boon deleted. The heating system has boon changed from a gas-fired boiler system to forced air. The Pago i Council Minutes - 2/10/42 windows have. been changed in the main area to economical sliding units. The roof pitch has been lowered to lessen the amount of materials. Simola went on to note that the changes are expected to save $10,000 on ttZe original price of $60,000, bringing the cost of the structure to approximately $50,000. Simola went on to note that the Parks Commission met on February 5 and recommended that the roof pitch be raised to give it some aesthetic appeal to the public eye, as the warming house is the last thing you see going out of town, or it's the first thing you see coming into town. The Parks Commission felt that with the lower pitched roof, it would look more like a garage than a park building. It is worth the added cost of $2,000 to raise the roof line to give the structure more eye appeal. Council then reviewed the design of the structure in more detail. Clint Herbst. noted that he did not believe development of a new warming house was necessary at this site. He noted that as far as he;'a concerned, it's a big waste of money. Brad Fyle noted that the present facility is substandard, and the park does need some kind of warming house. Dan Blonigen stated that for the usage the park gets, the proposal to spend $60,000 is too much money. John Simola noted that s Imply adding on bathrooms to the existing building would cost almost $30,000 if it was practical. The cost is high because bathroom fixtures in a public building must be vandal -proof: and the building itself must be vandal -proof. Shirley Andenrson stated that she could go along with the new proposal. Jane Phelps was in attendance. She noted that the City should put up something that is not going to need to be rebuilt. The City should be looking at the long term when developing a facility of this nature. After discussion, a motion was made by Brad Fylo and seconded by Shirley Anderson to approve the concept of developing a warming house as noted and include a 5/12 roof pitch in the Pago 2 C -D Council Minutes - 2/10/92 design standard and authorize staff to have TKDA prepare plans and specifications for further review at a future Council meeting. Voting in favor: Dan Blonigen, Shirley Anderson, Brad Fyle. Opposed: Clint Herbst. Consideration of adoptinq revised Job evaluation results/ comparable study appeals. Rick Wolfsteller reported that when the City Council adopted the comparable worth study completed by the League of Minnesota Cities in December 1991, an appeals process was allowed whereby individual employees were given the opportunity to request a review of their job points. Wolfsteller reported that 11 appeals were submitted and processed. Sherrie Le, personnel advisor for the League, was the primary consultant who initially prepared our new comparable worth study. She also reviewed each appeal and made a judgment on each appeal's merit accordingly. As a result of the appeal process, two positions, including the Building and Zoning Inspector position and the Water and Sewer Collection Superintendent position, were upgraded to a higher grade resulting in a change in pay structure. The remaining appeals resulted in adjustments to points without any grade changes. Wolfsteller went on to note that all employees who appealed their job evaluation results did receive a change in points assigned with one individual actually losing one point upon review. He noted that no process is perfect, and many employees are still unsatisfied with the results; but nonetheless, Council should adopt the recommendations of Sherrie Le. Wolfsteller went on to say that the consultant prepared the original study and as such, it is assumed that Council would want to accept the consultant's recommendations pertaining to each appeal. While the Council could certainly allow additional appeals to be made on the original appeals, the process could go on forever, which may not be feasible. Dan Blonigen stated that the study was flawed because 11 employees appealed. Shirley Anderson noted that she does not blame people for appealing their points. She stated that she would do the same thing if she felt that there was a chance that points could be increased. Pago 3 D Council Minutes - 2/10/42 Clint Herbst concurred that he too would have taken the initiative to appeal points awarded. The number of appeals does not necessarily mean the system was flawed. 011ie Xoropchak noted that her appeal was submitted in time to meet the deadline; however, the Economic Development Director's appeal was submitted after completion by the League of all other individual appeals. She also noted that of the appeals submitted. her position was the only position in which administration appealed point values not addressed by the employee in his or her appeal. Rick Wolfsteller noted that when the appeals process was established, it was understood that anyone that appealed the points awarded for their position opened up the door for administration appealing points that could result in the loss of points. Wolfsteller noted that the position of Economic Development Director included points for working conditions that did not appear to be justified. He, therefore, appealed points for those conditions whereupon the League of Minnesota Cities agreed with his appeal, and the Economic Development Director's points were reduced in these areas accordingly. 011ie Roropehak reiterated that the position of Economic Development Director was the only one that was subject to an appeal by the Clty Administrator. Clint Herbst wondered how often the City must review each position in terms of pay equity and how often is the point system adjusted. Rick Wolfsteller responded by saying that adjusting points occurs only when there is a major change to the job description. Ideally, there should be no need for wholesale updates to the pay equity program. After discussion, a motion was made by Clint Herbst and seconded by Shirley Anderson to accept the recommendations of the League of Minnesota Cities' Sherrie Le adjusting the point values for each of the job classes as noted along with pay adjustments to the Building and Zoning Inspector and the Water/Sewer Collection Superintendent positions that resulted from the appeals process. During discussion, John Simola noted that it was his view that the procedure for establishing the point system was flawed. He stated that he did not believe the consultant had a good understanding of the position because the questionnaire was not comprehensive, and his 24 -mina to interview with the Pago 4 Council Minutes - 2/10/92 consultant regarding his position did not provide ample opportunity to outline and describe his position. In addition, it was Simola's view that the appeals process was flawed, as it was of short duration, and he had no opportunity to discuss his appeal with the consultant face to face. Simola was concerned, as the appeal had to be made to the same individual who set the original job values, and this person may not have been totally objective about the appeal. It was his view that the League salary structure was affected by the existing salary structure in the City, and the outcome of the study would have been different had the League not known the individual salaries of each employee beforehand. Simola requested that he be provided the opportunity to sit down with his supervisor, Sherrie Le, and her supervisor and openly discuss the appeal. Simola went on to note that the education requirement associated with his position is insufficient. He stated that his position is very diverse and requires an experience level or education that exceeds the minimum noted in the job description in order to perform the duties effectively. Dan Hlonigen suggested that at some point the appeals process must be completed. It was the consensus of Council to end the appeal process. After discussion, a vote on the motion was taken and carried unanimously. Consideration of annual maintenance agreement for county state aid highways in the city of Monticello. John Simola reviewed the maintenance agreement for snow and ice removal for County Road 75 from Willow Street near Pinewood Elementary School to County Road 118 near Riverroad Plaza. He noted that the agreement covers 258 of snow and ice removal on County State Aid Highway 39 from the City public works building to County Road 75. Simola reminded the Council that the cost paid to the City is based on Wright County's average annual cost per mile for routine maintenance the previous year. Simola went on to recommend that the Council approve the maintenance agreement as enclosed. This maintenance agreement will result in a bettor level of service to the community for snow and ice removal than if performed solely by the county. Pago 5 Council Minutes - 2/10192 After discussion, a motion was made by Shirley Anderson and seconded by Brad Fyle to approve the maintenance agreement with Wright County as presented. Motion carried unanimously. Consideration of adoo ting an ordinance amendment to Section 12-2 of the Citv of Monticello Zoninq Ordinance which would allow a convenience store to operate as a permitted use in a B-2 zone. Applicant, Citv of Monticello. Assistant Administrator O'Neill informed Council that a few months ago the City adopted a zoning ordinance amendment that moved convenience store use from the permitted use category in the B-1 zone to the conditional use category . This change had the inadvertent effect of eliminating convenience stores as a permitted use in the B-2, B-3, and B-4 zones. This occurred because in the B-2 zone regulation, it states that all uses permitted in the B-1 zone are also permitted in the B-2 zone; therefore, when Council took the action to remove convenience stores from the list of permitted uses in the B-1 zone, convenience stores could no longer roll into the B-2, B-3, and B-4 zones. After discussion, a motion was made by Shirley Anderson and seconded by Clint Herbst to adopt an ordinance amendment to Section 12-2 of the City of Monticello Zoning Ordinance which would allow a convenience store to operate es a permitted use in a B-2 zone. The zoning ordinance amendment is approved based on the finding that previous City action to remove convenience stores from the B -i list of permitted uses did not Intend to eliminate convenience store use from the 13-2 through B-4 zones. Motion carried unanimously. SEE ORDINANCE AMENDMENT NO. 220. 8. Review of 1991 liquor store financial report. Rick Wolfsteller provided the liquor store financial report and noted that the liquor store operations appear to be very favorable and that total operating income for 1991 is over $18,000, a 131 increase over 1990. when including other Income consisting primarily of interest income on investments, the total liquor store revenue amounts to $215,192. This Is $26,000 higher than last year. Gross prof 1t from operations also showed an increase in 1991 to $331,689 compared to $295,696 in 1990. Groas profit margins are at 23.491 of total sales, which appear to be in line with our expectations. The overall not operating income of 10.81 is also satisfactory and Is meeting our goals. Pago 6 0 Council Minutes - 2/10/92 After discussion, it was the consensus of Council that Joe Hartman is doing a good job, and he was commended for maintaining excellent sales during the recession. It was also the consensus of Council to advertise in a responsible manner and to reduce the annual advertising budget from $7,500 to $6,000. 9. Other matters. Economic Development Director, 011ie Koropchak, provided Council with a summary of the results of the business retention survey. Council reviewed the information. No action was taken. There being no further discussion, the meeting was adjourned. Jeff O'Neill Assistant Administrator Page 7 Council Agenda - 2/24/92 Consideration of a resolution adopting amendments to the City of Monticello Comprehensive Land Use Plan in coniunc tion with the Chelsea Area Land Use Study. (J.0.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: In June of 1991, the City authorized completion of a land use study in recognition of the need to update land use policies affecting the Chelsea corridor area. A number of factors gave rise to the study, including development of the elementary school and the need to identify land for industrial development. These factors and others are outlined in detail in the study. Suffice it to say that the study was ordered for the purpose of establishing policies that would allow this area to achieve its development potential. It was also the concern of the City Council that the transportation system supporting the developing area along with a storm sewer plan needed to be prepared. The comprehensive plan amendment identifies a transportation plan supporting the proposed land use configuration. Enclosed for your review is the hydrology study completed by OSM, which now provides the City with a greatly improved understanding of how this large area will be served with storm sewer facilities. The study is the result of a planning process that included input provided by numerous citizens and committees. Although not everyone is in agreement with it, it appears to represent a consensus of those that participated. Attached you will find the final report prepared by Northwest Associated Consultants. The report speaks for its elf, so I will not describe it in detail. Council is asked to review the report and to consider amending the comprehensive plan of the City by adopting the roport as an amendment document. By adopting the associated resolution, the City Council Is approving all of the attached exhibits within the report, which identify future land use patterns within the study area. Information and findings contained in this report will than s uporcedo comprehensive plan documents approved in yoars past. Stovo Grittman of Nort hwost Associated Consultants will be reviewing tho plan in detail at the meeting. During the discussion of tho plan, Council will bo asked to pay particular attention to two major issues: 1. Tho Industrial Dovelopment Committoe and tho Housing and Redevelopment Authority have rscommondod to the Planning Commission that the northern half of the Klein property, Council Agenda - 2/24/92 that area north of School Boulevard, be designated for industrial uses. It was the concern of the HRA and IDC that the City should preserve as much industrial land as possible. It was also their opinion that this industrial area zoned under BC regulations would not create a negative impact on the school uses or neighboring residential uses associated with the Evergreens subdivision. This issue has its pro's and con's, which are identified in the report. In response to the IDC concerns, the Planning Commission adopted a resolution which outlines the goal of preserving undeveloped land for industrial use. The site for this was not specified as being located at the Kjellberg site or Klein Bite. Final location of an expanded industrial area is dependent somewhat on the outcome of the Evergreens development. The Kjellberg property (Evergreens) could possibly become the area for future industrial development, which consists of over 100 acres of undeveloped land between the Klein farm and Highway 25, is zoned for residential use; however, the development of this land for this purpose appears to have stalled. This time of inaction may provide the City with the opportunity to take another look at the zoning of the Kjellberg property with the future possibility of converting a portion of it to industrial use. This potential has an impact on the analysis of the Klein farm land use. For instance, if the Kjellberg property can be rezoned for industrial use, then it makes more sense to maintain the Klein property for residential uses. If, however, Kjellberg's Evergreen rosidential development occurs, then it may make sense to proservo the Kloin farm for industrial dovolopment. Whatever the case may be, ultimate development of the Kjellberg property will have a significant bearing on what type of land use is developed at the Klein farm. It is likely that the Kjollborg property will develop prior to the Klein property bocauso the Kjellberg property is already in the city. City Council is asked in a later agenda item to consider a rezoning request that would allow establishment of a church facility near the intersection of County Road 118 and Chelsea Road. The applicant (Evangelical Covenant Church) is vory familiar to the City Council, as it has come before the Planning Commission on two separate occasions with requests to develop in that area. The latest request is different from the most previous Council Agenda - 2/24/92 request because the new request calls for development of the church facility in a position slightly west (200 feet) of the position previously discussed. As you recall, Council recently denied a rezoning request that would have resulted in a 5 -acre parcel of commercial land on the corner of County Road 118 and Chelsea Road; however, during the discussion, the City Council suggested that the church submit a now application for rezoning that would call for the church being located approximately 200 feet farther to the west of the most recent proposal. This would result in a 7 -acre parcel being available for commercial use. The mere fact that the City Council suggested this concept does not necessarily mean that Council should vote automatically to approve it. City Council will be asked in a later agenda item to consider its final decision on this topic. During the discussion of the comprehensive plan, this Item should be brought up and reviewed thoroughly. 8. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: Motion to adopt a resolution accepting the planning report and adopting the report as a comprehensive plan amendment document. Under this report, Council agrees with the Planning Commission and accepts the information contained. The report becomes a tool by which the City can use to guide future land use decisions, including future rezonings and transportation system development policies. The plan essentially becomes the armor or legal substantiation for future land use decisions. Motion to deny adoption of a resolution accepting the planning report and adopting the report as a comprehensive plan amendment document. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff rocommonds that the City Council adopt the resolution. The plan presented is the result of a number of months of study by City staff, the City Planner, and also includes many comments submitted by various commissions and individual citizens within the city. I believe that the Planning Commission working with Stovo Grittman and Northwest Associated Consultants have done a thorough fob in analyzing tho land use patterns and potontial impacts. I look forward to having this document in hand to assist the City in guiding future development of the Chelsea corridor area. Council Agenda - 2/24/92 Finally, for information purposes, I have included a copy of the storm water study completed in conjunction with the planning study. The City Council will be asked to review and accept the study, which then becomes a guide for future development of storm water improvements needed in the area. City staff has not had ample opportunity to review the study; therefore, Council is not asked to accept it at this time. SUPPORTING DATA: Copy of resolution adopting comprehensive plan amendment; Copy of plan amendment and exhibits; Copy of comprehensive storm water study for the industrial park watershed; Copy of comprehensivo land use map that is being amended. RESOLUTION 92 - RESOLUTION ADOPTING CHELSEA AREA LAND USE AND CIRCULATION STUDY AS AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE CITY OF MONTICELLO WHEREAS, the City Council has recognized the need to update land use policies and prepare amendments to the comprehensive plan that will enable the Chelsea area to achieve its full potential in terms of commercial and Industrial development without negatively impacting school and neighborhood uses_ WHEREAS, the City Council has recognized the need to develop a plan for development of a transportation system necessary to support development in the Chelsea area. WHEREAS, in response to the needs above, the City of Monticello Planning Commission has been directed by the City Council to study and update comprehensive land use plans for the Chelsea area; and WHEREAS, the Chelsea area planning process included information gathered via a formal public hearing along with numerous informational meetings involving various agencies and City committees; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds that it is in the best interest of the City to preserve a portion of the undeveloped areae in or adjacent to the city for Industrial uses. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Monticello City Council, in agreement with the Planning Commission, finds that the Chelsea Area Land Use and Circulation Study achloves the planning goals set forth; therefore, the City Council hereby adopts the Chelsea Area Land Use and Circulation Study in full as an amendment to the comprehensive plan for. the City of Monticello. Let it further be resolved that the City ahould plan to preserve land for industrial uses at the alto of the Klein farm or at the "Evergreens" residential development alto. Final location of the sato for industrial ueos In to be established at such time that the viability of the Evergreens residential development project has been determined. Approved by the Monticello City Council this 24th day of February, 1992. Mayor City Administrator 0 INIONTICLLLO Chelsea Area Land Use and Circulation Study Pi City of Monticello Chelsea Area Land Use and Circulation Study CITY OF MONTICELLO CHHISBA AREA INDUSTRIAL PARK/ SCHOOL FACILITY LAND USE PLAN JANUARY 1992 Prepared By: Northwest Associated Consultants, Inc. 5775 Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 555 St. Louie Park, Minnesota 55416 U INTRODUCTION The City of Monticello, in the area south of Interstate 94 and east of Trunk Highway 25, has recognized a need to address the developing land use conflicts in the area. For several years, the area has been programmed for industrial development. However, within the past few years, the School District has constructed a middle school and a bond re`_erendum, passed last year, will lead to an elementary school on the sane campus. The school construction has led to a rapid increase in the interest: in residential growth in the immediate vicinity. The resolution of a foreclosure on a large parcel directly south of the school campus has accelerated that interest. In addition, questions have been raised as to the appropriateness of existing base zoning, traffic patterns, and the City's ability to encourage high quality industrial development in the district. These and other issues have led to this study of the area's land use and related conditions. It is the objective of this report to develop a guide development pla.n, in the form of a Comprehensive Plan amendment, to resolve the various issues as identified, and integrate the plan into the existing planning framework. That framework includes utilities and storm water control measures underway, as well as the developed landscape. Several items have served to define the study area (shown in Exhibit A) in addition to the issues already raised. Initially, the properties which were under immediate development pressure provided a starting point for analysis. How these parcels were served by utility and transportation networks then expanded the scope of study. The general area of review grew to include lands from Trunk Highway 25 on the west, Interstate 94 on the north, County 118 on the east, and the City limits on the south. To be sure that proper transitions and connections were considered, study often "spilled over" onto adjacent lands for circulation and/or land use. One of the most significant of such parcels is the Klein parcel which lies between the school property and the Kjellberg development. Background and guidance for this project has been provided through several meetings with City Staff and various property owners, community boards, and commissions. The City's Comprehensive Plan has been utilized as a base for policy di rection, together with comments from the groups who have reviewed the drafts. Since some of land included in the development plan in outside City boundaries, the City cannot enforce all of the specific recommendations of the report. However, these plans are designed to help guide the decisions on adjacent properties so the eventual development will occur in a coordinated and cohesive manner. 0 INVENTORY OF EXISTING CONDITIONS A. PEYSICAL ISSUES (See Exhibit B) Physical features existing upon tae lard significantly impact the planning and future developmert of land use and transportation systems. If is for this reason that review of such issues within the Chelsea Study Area follows. Annexation. The study area contains and borders a number of designated orderly annexation areas. These areas have been designated to insure that City growth, urbanization, and the conversion of agricultural land occur in a well planned and orderly fashion.- The land use plan should be coordinated with the designated orderly annexation areas so as to reinforce preferred urban growth patterns. Transportation. A City's vehicular circulation system, as it relates to and serves the surrounding land uses, is the component which makes an area functionally successful. The transportation system in the study area is complex and contains roadways of all functional classifications. The principal arterials in the area are Interstate 94 and State Highway 25, which generate traffic and draw persons into the City from regional, state, and out-of-state locations. County Road 75 (Broadway Avenue) is classified as a minor arterial and collects traffic from state and interstate roadways as a main connection to downtown and neighborhood areas. County Highway 117 and County Highway 118 are collector streets which primarily serve the Chelsea area by siphoning traffic from sub -collector and local streets to access arterial roadways. Chelsea Avenue is the only sub - collector street which serves the study area by joining County Highways 117 and 118 to provide an east -west community corridor south of and in lieu of Interstate 94. Numerous local streets serve the Chelsea Area to access individual lots from sub -collector or collector roadways. it is the local streets which present the most significant transportation problems in regard to safety, alignment, and intersection design. More specifically, Cedar Street, Marvin, and Sandberg Roads and Oakwood Avenue which are all located near the I.94/Highway 25 intersection, function as part of a frontage road system. The angular alignments and numerous access points from State Highway 25 and County Road 117 to these local frontage roads create safety hazards and difficulty in planning for future extensions, connections, anal/or improvements to These roadways. Consideration must be given to the realignment of portions of these roadways to provide acceptable access, circulation and development opportunities in the future. C� o Drainageway. The study area is bisected by a natural drainageway which flows between. County Highway 117 and Fallon Avenue. Sensitivity toward the natural feature should be incorporated within an area land use plan. o Trail System. In teens of area circulation, the preparation. of a land use plan for the subject area should make provision for a pedestrian trail system. The trail system should be arranged so as to provide logical routes between destinations and, for the most part, should follow vehicular routes. The physical issues map, Exhibit n, designates potential trail system connections which coordinate with and complement the land use and transportation patterns in the study area. o utility Basements. A number of utility easements overlay the study area. The lard use plan and subsequent lot arrangements must be responsive to such easements in an advantageous fashion. B. EXISTING ZOMM/LAND USE (See Ebd ibit C) Because zoning is essentially a tool by which desired land uses may be achieved, it will obviously be of importance in the preparation of the Chelsea Area Land Use Plan. In review of the area's existing zoning designations, a number of concerns have been identified which will need to be addressed. School Property. The School District parcel is currently zoned Single Family Residential. This district allows educational facilities by conditional use permit. The School District requested this zoning from industrial and commercial in 1991. A second issue, related to the school property which needs to be addressed, will be the minimization of conflicts between surrounding area industrial, commercial, and residential land uses and school facility/associated site uses. Heavy Industrial uses. The majority of existing heavy industrial land uses are concentrated between County Highway 117 and Fallon Avenue south of Chelsea Road, although a small parcel exists to the west of County Highway 117. The architectural quality and levels of site design vary considerably between lots and businesses within this district. The area, as a whole, also lacks a singular transportation route which unifies and emphasizes entrance into the industrial district. T Light Industrial Land. A significant portion of land zoned as licht industrial exists north and east of the Citv,s heavy industrial uses and extends across Interstate 94 to Ccunty Road 75 (Broadway Avenue). The location and orientacicn of this land use is generally well•se ^red, however, a portion of the School District property abuts this light industrial zone. Even though the two land uses are usually compatible, careful consideration is necessary in order to minimize potential conflicts, provide buffer areas, and promote high quality light industrial developments. This study will address the possibility of the creation of a new zoning district which would both increase the site development standards, as well as decrease the intensity of the industrial use. With such a new district, the exact boundaries of the various industrial districts may change to better accommodate the transition between uses and development quality. Commercial Land. The study area contains a large portion of commercially zoned Highway and Limited Business District land along State Highway 25 and Interstate 94. Attraction of business from both arterial roadways and connection to the City's Regional and Central Business Districts via this interchange have made this area function, successfully, despite several transportation problems. in addition., significant portions of this commercial district remain undeveloped and under-developed. It is for these reasons that the commercially zoned land to the east along Interstate 94 and County Highway 118 be reconsidered in terms of need and appropriateness. More specifically, the amount of land, as zoned, may be unnecessary due to the amount of commercial land remaining vacant in the State Highway 25 region. In addition, accessibility of this area from interstate 94 and County Road 75 is inconvenient at present and construction of an interchange at County Highway 118 may not be warranted functionally or financially. Agricultural/Open Space. Two significant parcels of agriculturally zoned land exist within the study area. The first is located along Highway 25, just north of Rjellberg's Mobile Home Park (Exhibit D). A preliminary plat design of this area called "The Evergreens" was completed prior to this study which proposed subdivision of the parcel for additions of single family uses. The 1st Addition has been final platted but remains unbuilt. C� The appropriateness of this land use in direct proximity to heavy industrial and commercial zones is questionable. Th`_s incompatibility and the fact that no construction has taken place necessitates reevaluation of the remainder of parcel in association with preparation of the Lard use and transportation plan for the Chelsea Study Area. Final Bete:mina t'_on as to the future of this parcel should be decided by the City at its earliest convenience in order to facilitate planning and development of surrounding areas. The second parcel of aariculturally zoned land exists directly south of the School District property and includes a portion of it, as discussed previously. The new owners of the 109 acre tract south of: the school, Value Plus Homes, have recently proposed subdivision of their property for "R- 1, Single Family" uses. One initial conceptual plan drawn for the area showed varied sizes of lots focused around interior park and trail system components which connected to school and surrounding properties. o Residential Planned Unit Development. A large tract of land zoned for Residential PUD uses lies east of County Road 118 (NE Jason Avenue) and extends to the Interstate 94 and Burlington Northern Railroad rights-of-way. Platting and development of several additions in this area have taken place and represent a positive movement toward this type of ( residential lard use in the City. Orderly Annexation Areas. As stated previously, the study area contains several orderly annexation areas which are necessary to reinforce urban growth patterns. The three most significant parcels, as related to this study, are located 1) at the intersection of Interstate 94 and County Road 75 (Hcgland property), 2) east of Fennirg Avenue in the Jason Avenue/County Road 118 area (Schultz property), and 3) between County Road 117 and Fallon Avenue (Klein property). A fourth annexation area exists west of State Highway 25, which although not directly addressed in this study, will undoubtedly have an effect on the Chelsea Area and need to be coordinated with its land use and transportation components as development proposals west of Highway 25 necessitate this. Each of the orderly annexation areas are an important part of achieving the desired land use transitions and integrity between existing land uses. DEVELOPMENT PLAN CIRCULATION PLAN I n response to the transportation issues discussed previously, several changes are being proposed within the Chelsea Study Area to alleviate existing conflicts, and i^prove the overall circulation system as development occurs throughout the region. 92nd Street NE Extension (School Boulevard). The proposed extension of 92nd Street NE between County Road 118 and State Highway 25 will function as a collector roadway cc provide the necessary east -west access in the City south of Interstate 94. The first phase of the extension is necessary to serve the School District property directly to the north. In addition, developers of a single family subdivision opposite the school property or the south side of School Boulevard will benefit from the access. As the extension of School Boulevard continues westward through the Klein property annexation area, more residential land uses of varying densities will be served before the roadway bisects commercial lard uses and becomes part of the realigned Highway 25 frontage road system. The single family subdivision final platted and approved for the Kjellberg property has been accommodated in the extension of School Boulevard, however, changes to the associated preliminary plat may be necessary to respond to the changes in roadway alignment and surrounding area land uses. Exhibit D shows the subdivision layout and proposed roadway extension. This issue will be addressed further in the land use section. Highway 25 Frontage Road System. As discussed previously, the existing angular alignment and inferior intersection design of Cedar Street, Marrin, and Sandberg Roads in relation to State Highway 25 present safety hazards and traffic congestion problems. In order to alleviate these problems, realignment and extension of the roads are proposed. By providing a frontage road system which closely parallels Highway 25, existing commercial businesses have "equal" frontage and visibility while development ocoortunities are enhanced for the addition of other commercial lots. The alignment of frontage roads on both sides of Highway 25 is a safer alternative which limits access on the state arterial roadway by allowing shared curb cuts controlled at signalized intersections. Minimal extension of Dundas Road allows a positive connection to this system and provides direct access throuc h commercial and indus_rial land use areas. Sandberg Road, which currently meets E'_ghway 25 only 1,200 feet from the lnterstate 94/F:ighway 25 intersection., would be better designed as a rig'.::-in/right-out intersection which provides direct access from Highway 25 through to Marvin Road. In this regard, the necessary access is provided on the west side of Hichway 25 while eliminating dangerous cross -traffic. Termination of Thomas Park Drive. Thomas Park Drive and Thomas Circle currently provide access to a clustering of commercial parcels which front along Interstate 94. Vehicles approaching this area from County Road 117 are faced with traversing a confusing intersection at Chelsea Road where Thomas Park Drive extends north from this point. Improper space for turning and stacking of vehicles creates a dangerous situation on County Road 117 as vehicles turning to go north to the Thomas Circle area must cross traffic as vehicles on Chelsea Road are trying to enter and exit onto County Road 117. in order to minimize vehicular conflicts at this intersection, it is proposed that Thomas Park Drive be terminated just north of the Chelsea Road/County Road 117 intersection. The elimination of this small portion of roadway will greatly reduce traffic congestion and conflicts at this intersection by forcing vehicles to use the Thomas Park Drive entrance further east on Chelsea Road. Access can be maintained to the Monticello Roller Rink and Joyners Bowling Lanes, and then terminated immediately afterward. This solution provides the opportunity for a signalized or otherwise controlled intersection in addition to aesthetic improvements via landscape design and signage which designates entrance into the proposed industrial areas. A suggestion to be considered is shown on the Circulation. Plan (Exhibit E). This design will alter the traffic pattern by allowing Chelsea Road to flow directly to Highway 25, bringing County Road 117 into 'T^ intersection. This alignment would better distribute the traffic, however, the County Highway Department is not ready to endorse the concept. As a result, the Concept Development Plan is drawn with the intersection as it exists. Fallon Avenue Overpass. The City of Monticello has expressed a desire to consider construction of an overpass connecting Fallon Avenue over Interstate 94 cc the downtown area of the City. The positive and negative aspects of this concept need to be weighed against are another to determine its feasibility and necessity. It may be advantageous to have an additional connection to industrial and cor.:nercial area, although-ighway 25 and County Highway 118 serve the same purpose and traffic volumes may rot justify it at this time. In addition, improved east -west circulation via the proposed extension of 92nd Street NE would expedite movement between Highway 25 and County Road 113 which currently have cennecciors north of Interstate 94. Likewise, the improved frontage road system and signal -'zed intersection at Dundas Road allow for relatively direct access from commercial and industrial areas to Highway 25 and consequent connection to the CBD. However, the positives of this connection are several. Fallon would serve as a second major aorta -south access between school campuses. In addition, traffic flow between the Central Business District and this "new" area of the community would be improved, strengthening the connection and helping to reduce the barrier effect of the freeway. Also strengthened is the access tie between industrial areas on opposite sides of the interstate. This tie can help to mitigate truck traffic in the Highway 25 interchange area, as well as on County 118. The plan has been develcped with the anticipation that the Fallon overpass will be eventually developed. County Road 118/Interstate 94 Interchange. The existing Comprehensive Plan identifies the need to develcp access from the interstate via an additional interchange at County Road 118. Preliminary review of this idea reveals more potential adverse effects on the surrounding area than positive ones. For instance, limited visibility of land in this area from the interstate lessens its value for commercial uses. Furthermore, promoting commercial use in this area, separate from the City's main business sector along Highway 25 and into downtown, may be in opposition to City objectives. Although an interchange at County Road 118 may take pressure away from the one at Highway 25, the two existing ramps which provide access eastbound onto the interstate and westbound off of it, seem to adequately serve the local population and frequent travelers commuting between Monticello and the Twin City Metropolitan Area. The existing Comprehensive Plan pursues the interchange as an aid to commercial development in the study area. In fact, the primary advantage of the interchange, with respect to commercial traffic, is one of convenience based business development. The development plan has de-emphasized commercial and industrial land use in this area, however, due to the introduction of the school and the broad increase in residential development appears more appropriate toward the Highway 25 corridor and thus, the "need" for the increased freeway access at this point is lessened. 6 PROPOSED LAND USE (See Exhibit F) In response to the concerns raised in review of the area's existing zoning, physical issues, and vehicular transportation, a Land Use Plan has been completed for the Chelsea Area. The plan represents a culmination of ideas from two Conceptual Land Use Plans which were previously prepared for this purpose and also reflects input received from City residents and staff. The follcwing paragraphs summarize the elements of the plan, which is meant to guide land use and zoning decisicrs as development progresses in the region. School Property. The recent school rezoning to R-1 aids in the minimization of conflicts betweer. school and surrounding uses by allowing only compatible lard uses to occur adjacent to the school property. Residential lard uses of varying densities surround the school facility on all sides except the north, where light industrial and commercial uses front along Chelsea Road. The abutting commercial parcel is of minimal size and proposed as a neighborhood retail location. The school property is physically separated from the commercial area by Chelsea Road. The adjacent light industrial land uses are aligned so as to back up the school property line. Setback distances and buffering materials can be set to promote aesthetic harmony, noise control, and safety between the light industrial lots and school uses. The school property is participating in the buffering effort to facilitate these goals. Heavy Industrial Land Uses. The Land Use Plan has retained the majority of the existing heavy industrially zoned land as such. Due to the number of vacant parcels and the newly proposed light industrial. area to the east, the heavy industry will remain bound by Chelsea Road to the north, County Road 117 to the west, and Fallon Avenue to the east. Medium density land uses are proposed to the south of the area, with parcels from each backing up to one another to allow for a buffer zone between the two land uses. The perimeter configuration of the roadways acts as a buffer zone around the district to maintain the visual quality of the exterior, while outdoor storage and other heavy industrial activities are allowable on the interior. These types of lard uses within Monticello are not only a necessity now, but will be sought after more and more as the City and Chelsea Area continues to develop. Planning for heavy industrial uses in this manner lessens the burden on the City and surrounding area uses when the need for them arises. U Light Industrial Land Uses. Areas designated for light industrial land uses in the Land Use Plan include the same areas currently zoned as "I-1", Licht Industrial, but extend eastward to include a portion of commercially zoned land north of the school property. In response to the issues of visibility and access from Interstate 94, and the vacancy rate of commercially zoned lard along Highway 25, the addition of light industrial uses adjacent to the interstate and extension of existing light industrial uses seemed to be the most legitimate solution. As mentioned previously, the creation of a new zoning district for light industrial related uses is proposed. A need exists in Monticello for increased site development standards in areas of architectural quality, outdoor storage, open space, and landscape design. Entitled "B -C", Business Campus, this district imposes such standards on light industrial uses. The need is seen as an assurance to existing and new high quality developments that surrounding properties will be developed to high quality standards. In addition, the proximity to the school property encourages the "campus" development style here. Commercial Land Uses. After study of commercial land uses in the Chelsea Area, it has been ascertained that land currently zoned as Highway and Limited Business Commercial along Interstate 94 and County Road lie appears to be in excess of what is needed in the Chelsea Area. As discussed previously, the land seems to be more warranted for light industrial land uses which typically do not require a high visibility location. In addition, access on and off of the interstate to County Road 118 poses questions of convenience, as does the feasibility of an expanded interchange at this location. In light of this, highway oriented commercial uses have been expanded to follow the proposed Highway 25 frontage road system and regional commercial uses have been recommended and contained in the area west of County Road 117. Improved access to these areas has been proposed via the realigned intersection at County Road 117/Chelsea Road and additional cross axis off of Cedar Street with connection to Dundas Road and County Road 117. The regional status of land which is currently zoned for highway commercial uses would provide greater flexibility in the permitted uses and attract businesses which do not need a high visibility location. Medium/High Density Residential Land Uses. within the Study Area, south of Interstate 94, no areas are currently zoned for medium/high density residential land uses. Consequently, conflicts between heavy industrial and single family districts are apparent. In light of this, steps have 10 been taken to eliminate and prevent further conflicts between antagonistic land uses in the Prcposed Lard Use Plan. Hich density land uses are proposed alone the frontage road system which is planned to run parallel to Highway 25. Th'_S approximately 26 acres of land provides a transition between the highway cernercial uses proposed adjacent to Highway 25 and the single family lard uses east of here. Likewise, medium density lard uses are proposed south of the heavy industrial district (Klein Orderly Annexation Area) as a buffer between the lower density single f amly uses to the west and scuth. Some discuss ion has occurred regarding the expansion of industrial land uses into this area from the north due to concern over ultimate "build out" condition on the other industrial zoned parcels. with the transportation system as designed, such a scenario would occur with appropriate screening and landscaping. This district would need to be designed with a interval focus and a perimeter screen to integrate the visual and trunk traffic impacts on area single family properties. Single Family land Uses. A large portion of land that is currently zoned "A", Agricultural -Open Space or that is part of the City's orderly annexation areas is proposed as single family land uses in the Lard Use Plan. This area includes land directly south of the school property (Cardinal Hills preliminary plat) adjacent to 92nd Street WE and progresses west to include the single family subdivision proposed on the Kjellberg property. Low density residential uses would benefit from the 92nd Street extension through to Highway 25, proximity to the school facilities, and neighboring cc=ercial uses. o Residential Planned Unit Development. A large portion of lard zoned as "R -PUD", Residential Planned Unit Development exists within the study area north and east of County Road 118/Jason avenue (Meadow Oaks PUD). Land Use Concept One proposes to extend this district to the intersection of 92nd Street NE and County Road 118. High quality park and trail system amenities associated with residential developments planned as an integrated unit will complenient the school property and surrounding single family land uses. Special Sites. A few specific sites have been highlighted here due to current development status. First is the Kjellberg plat, known as "The Evergreens". This plat was approved by the City over two years ago but was not recorded. Although the development plan accommodates the single family plat, higher intensity land uses in this area 11 may be more appropriate aue to the proposed collector street and its intersection with T.H. 25. As a result, the implementation steps in the next section do not include this area, as the City is pursuing options to abandon the plat. Secondly, a local church has expressed interest in occupying a portion of the commercial property along Chelsea near County 118. The development plan shows land for this type of institutional use east of County 118. The plan was developed with the intent of reserving the most desirable commercial parcel for neighborhood convenience commercial. Location of a church on this parcel would erode some of that land, further limiting the commercial floor space potential. If the City believes the church use to be appropriate, we would recommend the parcel furthest from the intersection. 12 IMPLEMENTATION SUMMARY With the background presented in the exhibits and this report, a number of implementation, steps are appropriate. First is amendment of the City's Comprehensive Plan. This step is important on two levels. As the guide to development policy, the Comprehensive Plan explains the rationale for various zoning decisions the City makes. Therefore, the base must be established prior to rezoning an area where a departure from current land use is proposed. The second level is reflective of the fact that some of the land is not ripe for immediate rezoning or capital improvement. This may be for reasons of development status, as with The Evergreens, or lack of development Jurisdiction, such as the Klein parcel. The Comprehensive Plan can, however, provide for the future development of these parcels, thereby facilitating more immediate development decisions. The Comprehensive Plan amendment may take either of two paths. The City may choose to adopt the development plan as a land use guide, or it may adopt this report as an amendment document, which would accomplish the former option, as well as enforce the supporting text. Procedurally, either step is acceptable. The next step in implementation is to enact the rezonings directed by the Plan. As noted, certain of those rezonings suggested by the plan are not ready for enactment. As a result, the Rezoning Plan, Exhibit H, shows those which are being proposed at this time.

Consideration of an ordinance amendment establishinq a Business Campus zoning district which provides for establishment of limited liqht industrial business offices., limited light manufaeturinq, wholesale showrooms, retail user in an environment which provides a hiqh level of amenities., including landscavirna, preservation of natural features.,, architectural controls, and other features. (J.O.) REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: Creation of the BC (business campus) zone is in response to a number of factors: Development of the school campus along the boundary of an industrial area has created the need to upgrade industrial site development standards in the area. In reviewing their site selection process, both Remmele and Tapper's, Inc., indicated that the quality or industrial site standards were a negative factor. The BC zone was created in response to the need to provide a slightly upscale industrial neighborhood for businesses that desire this type of neighborhood. The BC regulations are somewhat similar to the I-1 (light industrial) regulations. For instance, almost all of the various types of businesses that are allowed in the I-1 zone are also allowed In the BC zone. The major differences between the I-1 regulations and the BC regulations are highlighted on the copy of the ordinance amendment attached. Following is a quick summary of the regulations imposod by the RC zone that are not contained in the I-1 zone regulations. Purpose. The BC district purpose statement emphasizes an environment which provides a high level of amenities. 2. Retail Sales Activity. Indoor limited retail sales accessory to office and manufacturing uses is allowed with conditions in the BC zone. Design and Site Plan Standards. The BC district requires that 30% of tho parcel remain as groan space. There is no standard for green space in the I-1 zono. Council Agenda - 2/24/42 Exposed metal or fiberglass is limited to no more than 50% of any one wall. In the I-1 zone, there are no aesthetic standards. Setbacks. All setbacks in the I-1 and BC zones are the same except for the front yard setback, which is 50 feet in the BC zone and 40 feet in the I-1 zone. 5. Yard Requirements. I-1 zone is 20,000 sq ft; BC zone is 30,000 sq ft. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: Motion to adopt the zoning ordinance amendment establishing a business campus zoning district. Under this alternative, the City Council finds that establishment of the BC zoning district is consistent with the comprehensive plan amendment. In addition, the City Council accepts the notion that the business campus zoning district is necessary to provide a alightly upscale industrial area adjoining the school property and adjoining the Remmele and Tapper's development area. Under this alternative, almost all of the uses allowed in the I -i zone are also allowed in the business campus zone; however, the site amenity requirements in the business campus zone are greater than those found in the I-1 zone regulations. If this altornativo is solected, a variety of industrial neighborhoods will be available for industrial prospects to choose from. The Planning Commission, HRA, and IOC have all reviewed the BC regulations and have been unanimous in recommending adoption of the ordinance amendment. 2. Motion to deny adoption of the zoning ordinance amondment establishing a business campus zoning district. City Council could take the position that requiring additional sito amonitios as required in the BC district could act to limit the City's ability to attract businossos to this area, and thorn is no need to develop an ordinance that roquiree higher quality around the school property area; therefore, it does not mako sense to establish a business campus zone as suggested. Council Agenda - 2/24/92 C. STAFF/PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the ordinance amendment approving establishment of the business campus zoning district. It is our view that the school campus is a sensitive area that should be bound on the north by an industrial zone that is properly buffered with outside storage properly enclosed and with buildings that possess a nice outward appearance. In addition, the business campus district will provide a slightly upscale industrial neighborhood, thereby providing industrial prospects with another choice of where to locate. This area will be attractive to businesses such as NAWCO, Remmele, and Tapper's because the BC zone regulations will assure them of quality development in the area. At the same time, the existing I-1 and I-2 districts and associated regulations continue to be in place, which allows areas for development of businesses that do not need or want to be located in a slightly upscale area.

Applicant, City of Monticello. (J.O.) REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: The proposed zoning map amendments as noted on the attached exhibit are suggested to occur in conjunction with the adoption of the Chelsea Area Land Use Study as a comprehensive plan amendment. If the City Council adopts the comprehensive plan without major changes, then it will make sense to approve the zoning map changes as suggested. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: Motion to adopting the ordinance amendment approving amendments to the zoning map of Monticello proposed in conjunction with the Chelsea Area Planning Study. The motion to adopt the zoning map changes should be based on the finding that the zoning map amendments are consistent with the comprehensive plan amendment. Under this alternative, it is assumed the City Council has accepted the comprehensive plan amendment and is now ready to approve the zoning map amendments as proposed. The Planning Commission recommended that the City Council select this alternative. 2. Motion to deny adoption of the ordinance amendment approving amendments to the zoning map of Monticello proposed in conjunction with the Chelsea Area Planning Study. If the City Council has not adopted the comprehensive plan amendment, or if there are other facts supporting donial, then this alternative should be adopted. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Unless there are major objections to any of the proposed zoning map changes, and unless the City Council has denied adoption of the comprehensive pian amendment, then the City Council should move forward by adopting the ordinance amondment approving the zoning map amendments as suggested. D. SUPPORTING DATAt Copy of proposed ordinance amendment; Copy of rezoning map.

Applicant, Evanqelical Covenant Church. (J.O.) REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: As noted previously as part of the discussion of the comprehensive plan amendment, the Evangelical Covenant Church is requesting for a third time that the City consider adopting zoning map amendments that would allow establishment of a church facility in an area that was originally intended for commercial use. This request, however, is different from the previous request in that it provides for 7 acres of commercial land on the corner of Chelsea Road and County Road 118 for commercial use. The previous proposal allowed only 5 acres of land in that area for commercial use. The proposal also calls for development of land west of the church to become zoned for business campus uses. As has been noted previously, the City Planner has indicated that the 17 acres originally intended for commercial use should not be reduced. It is the planner's view that 17 acres of commercial land (B-2) is the proper amount to preserve given the size of the area that this commercial district will ultimately serve when the area is fully developed. The plan as proposed will reduce the 17 acres Into a 7 -acre parcel for commercial use, 5 acres for church use, and 5 acres for business campus use. The City Council needs to determine whether or not adding an additional 2 acres to the commercial use on the corner is sufficient to justify reversing a previous decision. B. ALTERNATIVE. ACTIONS: Motion to adopt the ordinance amendment approving the proposed zoning map amendment based on tho finding that the amendments are consistent with the comprehensive plan and compatible with the adjoining land uses. Under this altor nativo, the City Council is satisfied that the 7 -acro parcel of land on the corner is sufficient to servo the long-torm need for commercial land in the area or there are other areas ovllable to satisfy commercial land demand, most notably, the PEM district in the area of the intorsection of CSAR 75 and 1171 therefore, the commercial area displaced by the church and Industrial land use is not determined to be a Council Agenda - 2/24/92 problem. In addition, the Council could view the church use as being compatible with adjoining school, commercial, and industrial uses. According tm the planner, there will be a demand for commercial land in the area that will not be satisfied with the remaining 7 acres of commercial land. Please note that the problem that the church is having in finding affordable land that is properly zoned, although unfortunate, should not be a factor in decision making. 2. Motion to recommend denial of proposed rezoning request based on the previous finding that: 1. Commercial uses displaced by the church cannot be relocated without encroachment on residential areas. 2. Development of a church imbedded between commercial and industrial uses is not desirable. 3. The best use for the property is for commercial use because of proximity to the freeway and due to its separation from residential uses. 4. The 8-3 property remaining at the corner (7 acres) after the rezoning is insufficient to satisfy long- term demand for commercial land in the area. 5. The need for rezoning has not been sufficiently demonstrated, as other land is available for thio type of use. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: On a 3-2 vote, Planning Commission recommended denial (alternative #2) based on the reasons noted. Staff agrees with the position taken by the majority of the Planning Commission. D.

(J.S.) REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: At the January 27 meeting, the City Council authorized staff to develop a set of specifications for deeign/build lighting of two or four fields at the NSP ball complex. City staff was allowed to use a limited amount of technical expertise from OSM up to an expenditure of $1,000 in developing the specifications. In addition, City staff was to check out available funding sources such as obtaining poles from Northern States Power. in addition, the Monticello Softball Association and Youth Baseball Association were asked to consider funding a portion of the lighting systems in additiork to paying for the cost of electricity for lighting the fields. Lastly, City staff was to approach the Monticello School District for funding assistance in lighting the baseball field since it is used by the 9th grade and junior varsity school baseba 11 teams. Drafting of the specifications proved to be a complex and detailed project after meeting with local electricians, OSM's electrical engineer, representatives of the Minnesota Dopartmont of Transportation, and representatives from two sports lighting manufacturing firms. The final specifications, totaling some 34 pages plus maps, included a base proposal for lighting all four fields with wood poles on a turnkey basis, an alternate proposal for lighting two fields with wood poles on a turn-koy basis, and a third alternate for lighting either four fields or two fields with a steel pole/concrete base combination with the City crows doing much of the pole setting and trenching with help E rom Northern Staten Power crows and a subcontractor. The deeign/build proposals wore received on Thursday, February 20. Proposals wore received from two companies, one from Olson 6 Sone Electric of Monticello, and another from Eloctric Systems of Anoka, Inc. The low bids wore received from Electric Systeme of Anoka, Inc., and wore for $138,495 for lighting four fields with wood polos on a turn-koy basis and $88,512 for lighting two fields with wood poles on a turn- key besets. The savings for a significant amount of work by the City and subcontractors ranged from $2,600 to $3,214. The actual savings proved to be quite low considering that the City would have to hire a uubcontractor for raising the poles in the place. The cost to change to stool poles to allow the Council Agenda - 2/24/92 City to do a portion of the work did not appear to be beneficial. A copy of the bid tabulation is enclosed for your review. Portions of the outside funding for lighting the fields are not yet determined. After spending quite some time with numerous Northern States Power representatives attempting to obtain up to 18 poles for lighting all 4 fields, I was informed that no new poles were available and that used poles would be highly suspect for the use intended. I was then informed by one of the public relations people for Northern States Power that the City could apply for a direct grant from NSP for assistance with lighting the fields. I was informed that this process could take up to two months but then was referred to the office of Jerry Zimmer in St. Cloud, also a public relations individual for Northern States Power. Mr. Zimmer informed me that he was a member of the local grant committee for NSP and would hold a special committee meeting if I would spell out in a letter the needs and the individuals benefiting from such a grant. I sent the grant request to NSP on February 13, and Mr. Zimmer informed me that the local committee approved the grant request, and it was now being considered at the corporate level. Mr. Zimmer indicated that he would attend Monday evening's meeting, hopefully with good news. Everyone I talked with from NSP was very supportive of the project and felt it worthwhile. The value of the 18 wood poles originally requested was $25,000. Although no actual dollar amount was requested, if NSP is able to give the grant for lighting of the ballfielde, it is expected to be significant. The City has also received a pledge of $1,500 from Professional Services Group, as now being the contract operator for the Wright County Compost Facility, they have a strong presence in the Monticello area and are interested in assisting with such worthwhile projects. The City has also received letters of pledgee or commitment from the Monticello Softball Association and the Monticello Youth Baseball Association. The Softball Association is willing to pledge $5,000 over the next ton years for lighting two fields and $10,000 toward lighting four fields. The Monticello Youth Baseball Association would pledge $10,000 over a period of ton years toward lighting two fields and $15,000 toward lighting four fields. Both groups also pledged to pay the electric bill. Funding from the vFW and American Legion would more than likely be funneled through the Monticello Youth Baseball Association and included in their pledge. Council Agenda - 2/24/92 Lastly, we received word from Sheldon .Johnson, Superintendent of the Monticello School District, that they would be looking for funding from the City for other items such as tennis court lighting and multi-purpose buildings at Pinewood Elementary School and would be willing to talk about lighting ball fields when those other items are discussed. A copy of the Superintendent's response is enclosed for your review. As stated previously, City staff's goal and the goal of the various groups supporting this project feel that ultimately four fields should be lit. The Monticello Park Board made a motion at their last meeting recommending that the City Council light a minimum of two fields and that if outside funding sources are available to supplement the City's budget that every effort be made to light four fields at this time. An actual copy of the resolution Is available for your review. We do have some additional costs on top of the bide as received. We have the $1,000 we spent with OSM in developing the specifications, and we have a coat of $1,150.80 from NSP in getting 3-phase, 480 volt power to the ballfields. This must be added to the above costs, making the total cost for four fields $140,645.80 and the total cost for two fields $90,662.80. Considering the funding as pledged from the Softball Association, the Youth Baseball Association, and PSG, we would have a total of $16,500 available from outside sources to light two fields. This would leave the City's expenditure of $74,162.80, which Is under the 1992 budget amount of $80,000. This, however, does not include any funding from Northern States Power and also assumes that the $15,000 from the Softball and Baseball Associations would be fronted by the City and paid back over a period of time by those associations. To light four ballfiolds, we would have $26,500 available from outside funding sourcoo, excluding NSP and utilizing the $80,000 in the budget would leave us short $34,,145.80. If NSP's grant was in the area of this shortfall, it would certainly be worthwhile to light all four fields at this time. This, of course, is assuming that NSP does grant us money to help light the four fields along with the other outside funding sources and that the City Council would spend the $80,000 in the 1992 budget and up -front the $25,000 from the ballflold aesociations and got paid back over a period of time. Council Agenda - 2/24/92 B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. The first alternative for lighting two fields would be to accept the pledges from outside sources, except NSP, for a total of $16,500, with the actual total investment by the City of $74,162.60. 2. The second alternative would be to light all four fields assuming the City expends its $80,000 in the 1992 budget, that we receive $26,500 from outside funding sources, except NSP, and that we receive a grant in the area of $34,000 from Northern States Power toward lighting of four fields. 3. The third alternative would be to light two fields while accepting the grant from outside sources, including NSP, and lower the expenditure from the 1992 budget below $74,162.80. This becomes a little complicated, as the original $80,000 was also raised predominantly from Northern States Power; and to ask them for a direct grant when the money was already budgeted for may be a little bit more complicated than we wish to deal with. 4. The fourth alternative could be any combination of the funding sources not mentioned above to light either two or four fields. 5. The fifth alternative could be to do nothing at this time. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: It is the recommendation of the Public Works Director, Park Superintendent, and Parke Commission that the City Council consider lighting a minimum of two fields as outlined in alternative 01 and, further, if the grant from NSP is significant, that the City Council consider lighting all four fields as outlined in alternative #2, which is our goal.

SUPPORTING DATA: Copy of letters from Monticello Softball Association, Monticello Youth Baseball Association, Professional Services Group, and Monticello School District; Copy of grant request to Northern States Power. 14 February 19, 1992 Monticello Softball Association Monticello, Minnesota 55362 TO: City of Monticello Lighting the city softball complex here in Monticello is something we feel is very important to recreation in this community. So we would like to do our part to help make this project a reality. The Monticello Softball Association is willing to pledge $ 10,000.00 towards lighting four fields or $ 5,000.00 towards lighting two fields. Our proposal is that we would pay the city $ 500.00 per year starting at the conclusion of the 1993 season, if two fields were lighted, or $ 1000.00 per year starting at the conclusion of the 1993 season if all four fields are lighted. We would keep paying the appropriate amount until the $ 10,000.00 pledge was met. If at the end of ten years of paying $ 500.00 per year and all four fields were not lighted our pledge would then stop at $ 5,000.00. We would be willing to pay more but the yearly maintenance fee we already pay takes most of our yearly profits. We must wait until 1993 to start paying because we would not be able to benefit much until then, as the state and district tournaments for 1992 are already scheduled. Along with our proposal we would also be willing to pay for our share of the electic cost for lighting the fields. We as board members hope this is agreeable and beneficial to the city as you decide wheather or not to under take this project. We would like to thank you for your consideration on this matter.

The City of Monticello built a four -field ball complex in 1986 wl,tit the help of a state grant and volunteers in and about the city of tionticollo. The facility is located along I-94 just west of the NSP Training Center on West River Street on land leased from NSP. In 1988, the Cl.ty added a block structure to the center of the four -field complex. This block structure houses restrooms for men and women and a concession nr7ea. The City's investment in the overall complex is in excess of $125,000, excluding the hundreds of hours of volunteer help in building the facility. since initial construction, the facilities have seen five full playing aunnuns. The facilities are used by the Monticello Slow Pitch Softball Asmuclation, the Girl's Softball Association, the Monticello Youth IlaAssociation, and ninth grade and junior varsity school baseball. The youth Rnseboll. Aeeoclati.on also includes teams from the Veterans of rord yn wore and American Legion. Also, as per our lease agreement with Nntthern States Power, the complex is open for NSP during the last weekend of July each year for company -sponsored games. For the ]not- three yonre, tho Minnesota State Tournament for summer youth fur PeeWee Roese and Sandy Roufax has been held at the complex. in otHiLlon, at least sevon softball tournaments were held at the fields Mr. Jerry Zimmer February 13, 1992 Page 2 this year, along with two district playoffs. Use of the fields has grown extensively since the fields were originally opened in 1987, so much so that there is a shortage of playing fields in the Monticello area. The real shortage of playing fields affects the Monticello Youth Baseball Association the greatest. This group operates on 100% volunteer help and currently starts with 11 year olds up to 18 year olds. This youth program alone affects 300 area youngsters and families. The shortage of fields in the Monticello area has put pressure on the coaches and association so much so that it may be possible in the near future that bods will have to be cut from the program, and the association will have to ge to try -outs rather than letting all those who wish to play participate. One answer that can provide an additional four fields immediately is lighting of the existing four fields near the Monticello Training Center. if these four fields were lit, the playing capacity could be doubled. Not only would more playing time be available for softball, but eGnentlally two games could be played each week night by the Youth Bnsnball Association. The younger boys would play the first game without liyhLs, and the second game would be played under the lights by the older I�uyn. 1'1119 assuc:.latiun, as well as the other ball associations, is made up of Individuals not only from the city of Monticello but the entire surrounding wren, including Monticello Township, Silver Creek Township, Uig Lake Township, and portions of the City of Otsego. The whole area has a lot to lose if additional fields can't be brought into play. Tito expected cost to light all four fields on a turn -key basis is in the neighborhood of $140,000 to $160,000. The Monticello City Council has placed into the 1992 budget the sum of ;80,000. This may not be enough to light even the first two fields on a turn -key basis. City staff has prepared detailed specifications including options for City employees to do a major portion of the work such as excavating and setting the pole bases and poles and all of the trenching for the electrical. work. Because of the technical nature of the work, we cannot rely ail volunteer help as we did for the original building of the facility, so we are seeking funds from different organizations to help with the project. We are expecting some funds from the American Legion, Lila Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Monticello Men's Slow Pitch Softball Annoc:latlon, the Summer Youth Baseball Association, and Professional Services Group. Professional Services Group is the contract operator for the City of Monticello Wastewater Treatment Plant and the Wright County Composting Facility located in Monticello Township. lite bids for the proposed lighting, Including all the options, are due on rebruary 20. We expect to take this information, along with the pledyes of monetary support, to the City Council on the evening of February 24. At this time, the City Council will make a decision as to whether the project is a "go" or "no go.,, `l", Mr. Jerry Zimmer February 13, 1992 �.. Page 3 AL this time, we are asking Northern States Power to lend its direct support in the form of a monetary grant to the lighting of the four ballfi.elds, which will be of benefit to the families and youngsters not only in Monticello but the surrounding area. We ask that you respond by the evening of Monday, February 24. Thank you for your consideration. RespeeLful ly, CITY OF�M/ONTI ELLO` i51Tvri�'(� hIB'C�' John E.

The bid specification included two alternatives for 1 fighting the field, the firnt alternative called for lighting two fields and wired In a manner that would allow future installation of two addil.lcmal nets of lights. The second alternative called for a bid on the cost to light all four fields Immediately. Mack noted that the budget figure of S80,000 was projected based on lighting two fields in 1992. The four field alternative was specified because there is a chance that substantial funding along with volunteer labor may be available from other sources to supplement the $80,000 budgeted thereby making it possible to fund four fields. The Commission asked Mack if it is necessary to light all four fields at this time. Mark noted that the demand for additional f.irltls is s.ignJficant and lighting two flelcls wl.11 only help in the ahurt run. On the other hand, 1 fighting four rician will oat1wfy t:he longer terms needs. After dlscusslon, mot:lon by Bruce Theilen and seconded by Roger Carlson to recommend .light.lny of two fields immediately and support lighting of two additional tir,lds JE alternative funding sources supplementltig City budgeted funds are available. Motion carried unanimously. 90 Council Agenda - 2/24/92 9. Consideration of postponinq the water park study and authorizing City staff and Parks Commission to open dialogue between the School District and adjoinin_q townships with the goals of defining community recreation/civic center/ice arena needs and identifyinq cooperative strategies for meetinq needs. (J.O.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: This memo is to inform Council that the Parks Commission is requesting that Council postpone further action on the water park study. Although the Parks Commission believes that the water park concept should continue to be explored and should ultimately be placed before the voters, it has been determined that further progress on this concept should be postponed until such time that a thorough inventory of community -wide recreation needs is developed. It is proposed by the Parks Commission that the first Step Should be to establish a dialogue with the School District and all townships and cities that adjoin the city of Monticello. This study should also attempt to identify opportunities for cooperation between jurisdictions in meeting recreation needs. It would be a goal of this group to devise a method of distributing costs fairly to those that want and use various local and community recreation facilities. City/School/Township cooperation could potentially include joint funding of certain: - Capital improvements (civic center/arena, aquatic centers) - Recreation programming - Operations and maintenance of facilities - Athletic fields development and maintenance Following is a summary of the events leading to the latest recommendation by the Parks Commission. On January 13, the Parks Commission introduced to Council the concept of developing a family-oriented "aquatic center" and requested that Council authorize preparation of a study which would determine tho proper design, operation, and financing of an aquatic center. In response, Council authorized staff to request proposals from firms interested in conducting the study. Staff then prepared a request for proposals form and submitted It to ton engineers and architects that have experience with municipal pool development. On January 27 at the citizens commonts section of the City Council mooting, community residents from Big Lake, Big Lake Township, Monticello Township, and the city of Monticello 15 Council Agenda - 2/24/92 voiced their concern regarding the possibility of development an aquatic center without first reviewing the potential for the development of a civic center/ice arena. It was noted to the group by members of the Council that since the arena would serve people from more than one taxing jurisdiction, it should be financed accordingly. It was also noted to the group that the City would likely work closely with the School District and townships when it's time to move ahead on development of an arena. It was the consensus of Council to pass the matter to the Parks Commission for further review. At the same meeting, members of the Council noted that the input on the aquatic center concept had not been entirely positive from people they had spoken with. Brad Fyle noted that there was a concern among some that the City should not make a large investment in a facility that cannot be used all year long. On Monday, February 3, the Monticello School Board was approached by the Hockey Association regarding development of an ice arena. As a result, the School Board asked Shelley Johnson, Russ Vandell, and Jim Herbst to attend the February 5 meeting of the Parks Commission to discuss ice arena development. On February 5, the Parks Commission held a special meeting. Following is the excerpt from the meeting minutes that applies: 1. Receive staff update on process of solectinq consultant to conduct feasibility study on developmont of water park. AND Review Council request that the Parke Commission develop a City policy outlining City particloation in development and operation of an ice arena. The Assistant Administrator informed the Parks Commission that at the most recent Council meeting, Council had received testimony from members of the Hockey Association. The Association expressed the desire that t ho City investigate the possibility of developing an arena. Council directed City staff to refer the matter to the Parks Commission for further study and determine to what extent the City should be applying resources toward development of an ice arena. O'Nolllalso noted that, at the same meeting, some Council mombors expressed serious concern regarding the potential cost of the aquatic center and some 16 Council Agenda - 2/24/92 members also noted that the input they received from citizens regarding the aquatic center proposal had not been positive. Members of the School District administration and Board spoke to the commission. Shelly Johnson informed the Planning Commission that at the previous School Board meeting, it was determined that the Buildings and Ground Subcommittee (Herbst, vandell) should meet with the Parke Commission to express a willingness to meet with the City and other jurisdictions for the purpose of identifying park needs and defining opportunities for mutual benefit and cooperation. Russ Vandell stated he is excited about the aquatic center and noted there must be an opportunity to team up with the City, For instance, the aquatic center could be located near a future arena so as to allow for joint parking. Jim Herbst noted that the City and School should work hand in hand toward development of an all- purpose arena. Dick Frio stated that it makes sense to develop a partnership and develop an ongoing relationship that will allow the City/School/Township to work together in meeting the park and recreation needs of the community in an efficient manner. Members of the Hockey Association mentioned successful cooperative efforts by other communities to develop civic centers. Gene Opatz stated 1f we work together as a community, we can got it done. Mark Holmes noted that the aquatic center is not as doelreable because it can only be used throe months per year. Bruce Thiolon romindod the group that hockey arenas can be a financial drain on the community. He outlined problems with the Delano and Buffalo facilities. Joe Havel stated that many of the problems can be overcome by proper facility design and good management. When analyzing risk, we should look at the good facilities and not just the ones that have suffered losses. Council Agenda - 2/24/92 Russ Vandell agreed. The re are places that have done things the wrong way. We need to take a look at what is possible, identify the pitfalls, and do a first class job. Dick Frie noted that he has researched a number of facilities. The common theme of success stories is that successful ventures ware cooperative ventures. A general discussion ensued. After discussion, a mot ion was made by Bruce Thielen and seconded by Larry Nolan to recommend that Council direct City staff to organize a meeting between the City, School, and Townships (Monticello, Big Lake, Silver Creek, Becker, Otsego) for the purpose of defining area recreation needs and for the purpose of identifying opportunities for satisfying needs in a cooperative, cost efficlent manner. Motion carried unanimously. On February 14, the City received aquatic center study proposals from throe firms. The study proposals range in cost from $9,800 to $13,500. On Saturday, February 15, Dick Frie, Bruce Thielen, and Jeff O'Neill attended a free seminar in Crystal on civic center development and operation. The seminar stressed that understanding community needs and community consensus are critical factors in determining whether or not a civic canter project will be successful. On February 19, 1992, the Parke Commiseion reviewed the staff recommendation to postpone the aquatic cantor study and consider requesting that Council authorize opening a dialogue between City/School/Township so that various recreation/civic cantor needs and funding options could be discussed. As a result of the discussion, the commission postponed the aquatic center study and unanimously recommended that Council authorize City staff to invite the City of Otsego and adjoining townships and the School District to meet with City representatives to discuss rocroatio n/civic center needs. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Motion to postpone the aquatic conter study and authorize City staff to invite the School District and township officials to meet with City re prosontativos to discuss recreation /civic cantor facility needs and determino the potential for cooperation. 18 Council Agenda - 2/24/92 Under this alternative, Council agrees that there are opportunities for cooperation that should be explored, and it makes sense to attempt to identify these opportunities. If this alternative is selected, staff will draft a letter of invitation outlining the purpose of the initial meeting. Future meetings will depend on the outcome of the first meeting. Motion to postpone the aquatic center study and deny authorization to invite the School District and township officials to meet with City representatives to discuss recreation/civic center facility needs and determine the potential for cooperation. Council could take the position that past experience relating to other issues tells us that it is a waste of time to try to develop cooperative ventures with our sister local governments. It could be argued that one's time is better spent focusing on City recreation needs. Furthermore, given the current makeup of local townships, it is not likely that recreation needs will have a priority that will result in active participation by township officials. - C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends selection of alternative 41. Critical to the successful development of a mayor public facility is development of a consensus on what type of facility should be constructed, if any. It does not appear that such a consensus exists at this time. Perhaps a good first step toward building a consensus is to bring the powers that be together under one roof to discuss community needs and consider developing a plan for moving forward as partners. D. SUPPORTING DATA: Community recreation use and service delivery inventory (draft). 1t is likely that representatives from the School District and Hockey Association will be in attendance.

Consideration of developina a Citv newsletter. (R.D., W.R., s.o., C.s.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: Over the past few months, City staff has been gathering information and costs regarding development of a City newsletter as suggested by the City Council in December of 1991. staff agrees that mailing a newsletter to city residents is a good idea because there is a definite need to provide up-to-date information to citizens regarding services; and sending information in a uniform, consistent manner via a newsletter is a good way to help citizens watch for information on a regular basis. This is a much better way to reach residents than trying to mail information with utility bills as we have tried in the past. We have found that utility bills should be mailed in a consistent manner rather than changing the format of mailing every quarter. City staff has put together a summary of our newsletter proposal for City Council's review, which includes general benefits of producing a newsletter, a description of the newsletter, proposed newsletter policies, alternatives for the method of developing a newsletter, and the benefits of each approach to preparing a newsletter. Please let us know if you have any questions you would like answered prior to the Council meeting Monday evening. Under both alternative tl and #2 below, it is proposed that an additional computer be purchased, which would provide clerical staff with the word processing necessary to complete the additional typing duties associated with the newsletter. In the past few months, we have found that word processing requirements have been increasing with the addition of the Police Commission, Parks Commission, and other programs, while at the same time there has been no reduction in work load. We have come to the point whore additional word processing related duties cannot realistically be expected to be completed unless the current staff is provided with the necessary word processing tools to got the job done. It is proposed that undor both alternatives the word processing equipment be located at the receptionist/utility billing clork's desk. Wanda would be responsible for preparation of all the articles that would be included in the newsletter. As another alternative, Council could avoid the purchase of an additional computer and have the Office Manager prepare newsletter articles if the existing work load could be reduced. 20 Council Agenda - 2/24/92 ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: Motion to approve development of a City newsletter prepared entirely in-house at an estimated start-up cost of $2,325. 2. Motion to approve development of a City newsletter with typing only in-house and all other preparation done out of house at an estimated start-up cost of $1,823. 3. Motion to deny development of a City newsletter. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: City staff agrees with Council 's idea that a City newsletter should be developed, and we are enthusiastic about the concept. We have reviewed a number of newsletters prepared by other communities such as Otsego, Buffalo, and Elk River. Cathy, Wanda, and Karen have all taken a class on their own time on how to develop a newsletter and I believe are quite capable of preparing a newsletter that the City Council would be proud of. Staff recommends that Council authorize development of the City newsletter to be prepared entirely in-house at an estimated start-up cost of $2,325 based on the fact that doing the newsletter entirely in-house gives staff full flexibility in the preparation of the newsletter, allowing us to make updates to the newsletter as St's being prepared. In-house development eliminates running back and forth to review draft copies of the newsletter if it's prepared by a printer. The quality of the newsletter is likely to be batter due to greater staff commitment and ownership in the development of the nowaletter if done in-house. Finally, in-house development of the newsletter is preferred because articles can be typed as the time is available, whereas if done out of house, the articles have to be typed and submitted at once far in advance of the printing of the newsletter. As a final note, a very important stop in the process that has not boon o stablishod is doto rmining how the City newsletter masthead w ill be developed. I t is expected that Council will want to use the City logo and incorporate this logo into the masthead. In addition, I suspect that the newsletter will need some kind of title. Council may wish to discuss a potential title for the newsletter or establish a process for identifying a title and designing the masthead. If Council does not have any specific ideas, City staff will work on this aspect of the project and provide some ideas at an upcoming meeting. SUPPORTING DATAi Newsletter proposal summary.

Review of public works facility concept plana and authorization to distribute request for proposals for desiqn of phase I. (J.S.) REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: The public works expansion study authorized by the City Council in September of 1991 is now complete. The study proved to be no small task for the building committee made up of Councilmember Blonigen, Councilmember Fyle, myself, and Roger Mack, with input from Matt Theisen, the Water/Sewer Collection Superintendent. With the assistance of Peter Brozek from TKDA Engineers, Architects, and Planners, the building committee spent almost five months looking at the current and future needs of the public works department, water department, and sewer collection department. After reviewing the needs, space requirements, and site limitations, the building committee, along with Mr. Brozek, determined that the existing public works site could meet the needs of the public works department for the foreseeable future. After this was determined, not a great deal of time was spent looking at other options such as the reservoir site. It was felt that at some point in the future, 20 years+ down the road, if space limitations at the existing site were noted, the water department and sewer collection department could be moved to a building out in the reservoir area. This also could occur if a water treatment facility needed to be built. The goal of the building committee was to come up with an efficient, functional schematic or plan that would meet the needs of the public works department for 20 years into the future and to do it in such a fashion as to consider the best use of the site and the most efficient use of the buildings, therefore obtaining the best value for the dollar. The overall plan or schematic involves 30,615 sq ft of space combining old and now buildings at an estimated total construction cost of $1.3 million and would be boat constructed in three phases. Phase I would be the construction of a 15,000 eq ft freestanding building north of the existing maintenance block building. The construction of this now building would require the removal of the old 2,400 eq ft polo barn and the removal of the existing underground fuel storage tanks, the latter of which would need to be done in the future whether or not a new building is built. 22 Council Agenda - 2/24/92 Additionally, the eastern portion of this new building encroaches into the old dump area, so approximately 3,500 cu yds of soil correction would need to be done du ring the construction. The estimated construction cost of this phase I building is approximately $540,000 (excluding soil corrections) . Phase II consists of filling in the space between the existing maintenance building and the now storage building and using this area for a wash bay and a parts room. Additionally, the existing shop would be remodeled, and the existing roof, which is in need of repair, would be replaced. The area to the south of the existing maintenance building would receive an update with stalls for smaller vehicles and a new lunch, meeting, and training room. The estimated construction cost for phase II would be $380,000, excluding equipment for the shop. The time table for phase II is undecided; however, the public works department would hope that the City Council begin looking at phase I1 within the next five years. Phase III would consist of remodeling or replacement of the old NSP building for new offices, a reception area for a secretary, handicap accessible restrooms and showers for men and women, and a now maintenance area for the water/sewer collection department. No time table for phase III has been set or suggested; but it is safe to say that the proposed plan before you for phase III will probably be modified significantly by the time phase III is built. The estimated cost for phase III, assuming demolition of the old NSP building rathor than its remodeling, is $380,000. Again, these are construction costs only. A detailed report has been propared by TKDA and Is enclosed for your rev Sow. Further discussion here will concern itsolf with phase I construction, a 15,000 sq ft storage building. The base building has no frills whatsoever and consists matinly of open storage with a small bathroom and a sign shop. A skylight in the roof is used to provide as much natural lighting as possible for the building and cut down on the cost of lighting. Because of future construction, there are no windows on the south wall of phase I. A central floor drain trough system is used to collect vehicle runoff, and the hosting system for the building will be a gas-fired Coryvac heating sys tom similar to that in the now fire hall. A concrete push wall is planned on the north wall for future sand/salt storage. Three types of construction are presented in tho roporti masonry construction, which is concrete block; stand-up coracrote panels such as the Maus building and the 23 Council Agenda - 2/24/92 strip mall along Cedar Street; and finally, a pre-engineered steel structure such as the Clow stamping building or Larson Manufacturing building in the industrial park. Based upon estimates TKDA obtained from George w. Olson Construction of Stillwater, Minnesota, our two best value -for - the -dollar buildings are going to be either masonary or stand- up pre -cast wall panels. The masonry building with an exterior styrofoam insulation and stucco -like finish is estimated to cost $566,300 (construction cost only), while the stand-up panel building would be $551,400. The lowest cost alternate would be to remove the sign shop and bathroom and build the stand-up panel building for $531,400. Preliminary estimates indicate that a concrete block building without the exterior insulation package could be built for the same cost of $531,400. The building committee has discussed the pre -cast stand-up panel building versus the masonry or block building in great detail. It is possible that the block building could be more economically built in this area and allows the possibility of local block layers to be used in construction. We would probably receive a greater number of bids utilizing the block construction. If the block building with the exterior insulation package is selected, it is possible that competitive bidding could yield the same cost for a masonry building as a stand-up panel building. This, however, could only be determined by actually bidding both buildings. The cost to actually design two sots of buildings for alternate bids could be $4,000 to $5,000 higher than designing a single building because of the duplication of efforts needed in preparing two sets of drawings, so it may be best to decide on a specific building typo. One suggestion is that we design a masonry or block building with the exterior insulation oackaoe as an alternate. The exterior insulation package need not be installed immediately with the building. It could be installed at a later date with phase II or anytime in between should It be determined that the building is not efficient to heat without it. This still also remains a question, as the building will not normally be kept at 70 degrees since it is primarily a storage facility. Assuming a worst case scenorio that we cannot build a building for loss than $531,400, the following project cost sconorio is offered. 15,000 sq ft building construction masonry block (without exterior Insulation package) or stand-up wall panels both excluding sign shop and bathroom $531,400 Council Agenda - 2/24/92 2. 38 construction contingency $ 15,942 SUBTOTAL BUILDING CONSTRUCTION $547,342 3. 10% design 6 construction admin. 6 architect inspection fees $ 54,734 SUBTOTAL $602,076 4. Soil correction, approx. 3,500 cu yds $ 21,000 5. Existing underground fuel tank removal $ 3,000 6. Above -ground fueling system $ 14,000 7. Pole shed concrete removal $ 500 8. Soils investigation work by Braun Intertec $ 11900 9. Public works facilities report by TRDA $ 3,000 TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST $645,476 The above figures are assuming the worst case scenario. It is very possible that the bids will come in much better than those indicated here. Also, it is possible that some innovative design work may lessen the cost of the building. Furthermore, the 10% fee Indicated for design, construction, administration, and inspection is also open for negotiation. Lastly, it is very possible the soil correction will not be as extensive as noted, and we could save some money in that area also. We already have a contractor interested in buying the old polo shed for $1.00. He would totally disassemble it within one to two weeks and re -use some of the materials. Consequently, demolition of this building would not be costly. Overall, we would expect the actual project cost to be somewhat lees than that indicated above. One hundred percent (10 01) of the funding for the proposed project Is available in the liquor store fund. The available balance through October of this yoar would be $670,000. This already accounts for any proposed transfers should all projects and capital outlay items be purchased as proposed this year, and the expenditure of the entire EDA revolving loan fund. Rick has enclosed a separate shoot on the financial statue of the liquor fund and the City itself. 25 Council Agenda - 2/24/92 B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. The first alternative would be to accept the study and authorize City staff to distribute RFP's for the design of phase I and allow three architectural/engineering firms to present their proposals at a special Council meeting on March 16, 1992. The RFP would request a design centered around a concrete block building with an alternate for an exterior insulation packaqe. This would result in the lowest architectural design fee and hopefully the lowest building construction cost. 2. The second alternative would be to allow staff to prepare and distribute a request for proposals for the design of phase I utilizing two designs, one for a block masonry building with an exterior insulation package and another for a stand-up concrete wall panel. This alternate would result in a higher architectural design fee and may or may not result in a lower cost option for the City. It is, again, anticipated that the proposals would be returned at a special City Council meeting vn March 16. 3. The third alternative would be to negotiate a design fee at the meeting with TKDA utilizing either the masonry block building design and/or the stand-up concrete panel design and authorize TKDA to begin the design. The rationale for this option is that TKDA has invested thousands of dollars in the original study for which they will not recover, and they may be amenable to an attractive design fee, and the City cculd ultimately save at least three weeks of precious construction season time by going ahead with the design immediately. 4. The fourth alternative would be to go back to the drawing board per se and make changes to lower the cost of the proposed phase I project. The building committee has looked extensively into phase I of the project and has cut virtually every amenity from the building that could be cut without losing the overall size concept and the natural lighting concept. The width of the building could not be reduced and maintain the efficiency of the building. Consequently, only the length of the building could be changed to save costs. It is doubtful whether a two-soction approach to phase I would be in the boat interest of the City duo to the increase of the cost of the two parte versus a single part phase I. 5. The fifth alternative would be not to expand the public works facilities at this time. C Council Agenda - 2/24/92 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: It is the recommendation of the City Administrator, Public Works Director, and Street and Park Superintendent that the City Council consider taking the next step toward completion of phase I of the public works complex by approving alternative 11. Although not recommended, staff would not have a problem if the Council selected alternative 03, as TRDA is very capable, and the Council should be able to obtain a competitive fee upon open negotiation. This would definitely save time and is certainly within the scope of the Council's authority. After completion of the design and receiving bids, the true cost of the project can be determined. It is staff's opinion that should the phase I project cost be at or below the figure as previously noted, the City can fund the project from existing liquor store revenue without risk to the financial stability of the City. Although the two Council members represented on the building committee are in support of the project, they reserve their recommendations until open discussion of the proposed project takes place at Monday evening's meeting.

Based on prior history, it is assumed that by October 1 of 1992, the liquor store should generate an additional $100,000 in earnings, which, if earmarked for maintenance building construction, would make available from the liquor fund the $670,000. While the general fund has over $1 million in cash and investments on hand at the end of the year, a majority of these funds are needed to continue our operations for the first six months of each year until we again receive tax settlements. While the funds are technically designated for working capital purposes, these funds could be utilized on a short-term basis for any unforeseen expenditures that may arise. The fund with the largest surplus balance that would be available for additional expenditures is the capital outlay fund with a $203,000 balance. These funds have been accumulated over the past number of years and would be available, for example, to fund the softball lighting project In excess of the $80,000 budgeted amount for 1992. As you will note, other funds such as the tree fund and sewer and water access (hookup funds) do provide some surplus monies that could be utilized if necessary for emergencies or unbudgeted expenditures. The attached schedule of surplus funds does not cover all of the City's available resources, but I purposely excluded construction �i funds and debt service funds, which have an additional $1.5 million in cash, since those funds aro already dedicated for debt retirement purposes and/or construction projects in progress. On Council Agenda - 2/24/92 12. Consideration of a resolution reauesting 25% of the 1992 state aid allocation for maintenance. (J.S.) REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: When cities are submitting their needs for annual funding from the state aid system, they are required to assign a certain portion of their needs to maintenance. If the City, s annual statement of needs does not specify an amount to be used for maintenance, the state sets the maintenance amount at 5% of the total allocation. The maximum allocation for maintenance that a city can request is 25%, or in our case $40,832 for 1992. Once the allocation is made, the City does not have to verify to the state of Minnesota where the money was spent; and typically, most cities use it for street maintenance throughout the cities. Since we were not totally familiar with the state aid allocation system and were caught up in proving our population base to the state, we missed the December 15 deadline. The state of Minnesota, however, will allow us to amend our request in the form of a Council resolution. The resolution is enclosed for the Council's roview. Should the City be granted the total $40,832 state aid allocation for maintenance, we would use portions of tho funds to pay for crack sealing and sealcoating of our state aid stroets this year, as well as repairs to Intersections such as 7th Street East and Cedar Street, as well as look at the possibility of using some of the funds for raising the railway crossing at Walnut Street. It is also possible to use the monies off the state aid system as was stated earlier or even to buy equipment that would be directly used in street maintenonce. Should the City not use the entire $40,832 for maintenance, the City would have the option to use the remainder in conjunction with the remaining portion of state aid funds for construction. But without dedicating the 25% max originally, the City is somewhat limited in its use of those funds. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: The first alternative would be to pass the enclosed resolution asking for an amendment of the state aid allocation for maintonance funds up to the maximum amount of 251. The second alternative would be to ask for an amondmont lose than the maximum amount of 251. 28 Council Agenda - 2/24/92 The third alternative would be not to amend the maintenance allocation but leave it at the existing $5,000 figure. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: It is the recommendation of the City Administrator and Public Works Director that the City Council pass the enclosed resolution amending the maintenance amount to the maximum allowed of 25%. SUPPORTING DATA: Copy of resolution. 29 RESOLUTION 92- A RESOLUTION REQUESTING 25% ALLOCATION OF 1992 STATE AID ALLOCATION FOR MAINTENANCE FOR THE CITY OF MONTZCELLO WHEREAS, the Minnesota Rules for State Aid Operations allow municipalities the opportunity to request a maintenance allocation greater than the established minimum for that municipality; and WHEREAS, the City of Monticello has determined that it is in the best interest of the City of Monticello to request a maintenance allocation greater than the standard $1, 570 per mile; and WHEREAS, the Commissioner of Transportation has the authority to grant a request of a local governing body; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Monticello has requested from the Minnesota Department of Transportation a $35,702 increase In the 1992 maintenance allotment; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Monticello, as a condition of this increase, pass a resolution which indemnifies, saves, and holds harmless the State of Minnesota from any action arising out of or by reason of the granting of this increase; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: The City Council of the City of Monticello requests the Commissioner of Transportation to allocate 25% of the total annual State Aid allocation for Monticello as the maintenance allocation for the City of Monticello; and Be it further resolved by the City Council of the City of Monticello to accept the transfer of $35,702 from the City's State Aid Construction Account to the 1992 Maintenance Allotment for the City of Monticello; and Be it further resolved by the City Council of the City of Monticello that the City indemnifies, savos, and holds harmless the State of Minnesota, all its agents, and employees from any and all claims, demands, actions, or causes of action arising out of or by reason of the granting of this increase. Adopted this 24th day of February, 1992. Mayor City Administrator Council Agenda - 2/24/92 13• Consideration of the purchase of computer hardware and software for the administration of state aid funds and Proiects. (J.S.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: With the City of Monticello's receiving direct state aid comes the responsibility to account for all state and federal funds received on state aid projects. The requirements as to the forms to be followed on state aid projects are quite specific. To make it much easier for new cities to adapt to the state system, the state aid office pays up to 601 of the hardware and software .costs if their recommended system is purchased. Purchasing a system based upon their recommendation through state contracts allows the state aid system to be uniform, and changes made in the future by the state are done more easily on a uniform system, as well as updates of the software. The state also provides training seminars on the use of the state aid system. The system as required by the state of Minnesota consists of an ISM PS -2 Model 80 PC with a 12 -inch monitor, a wide - carriage printer, a modem for communicating with the state computer, and various computer software programs geared to run �,✓ the state and local systems. The entire package as recommended by the State Aid Office and City staff comes to $6,275. The City's share would be $2,510. Our share would come indirectly from state aid maintenance funds, as the monies budgeted for maintenance in the public works department would not have to be spent if state aid funds are used for that maintenance. I believe the state realizes that the computer system can be used for other purposes. Consequently, they do not fund 1008 of the hardware and software. Such is the case with the public works department. The hardwAre provided by the state has an excellent video graphics array, whereas the old Wang PC's that the public works department uses do not have graphics ability. With the software programs included in the package, we will have the capability of adding graphics to our reports as needed. In addition, upgrades to our fuel racord system could be easily adaptod to the now PS -2 computer and will actually save us money from not having to purchase a dedicated computer and printer in the future for that purpose. 30 Council Agenda - 2/24/92 B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. The first alternative is to enter into an agreement with the Minnesota Department of Transportation, Office of State Aid, to purchase computer hardware and software at a cost to the City of $2,510. 2. The second olternative is not to purchase the computer hardware and software but make attempts to keep track of the necessary information long hand and then have the secretarial staff at City Hall type the final documents. This appears to be a very cumbersome system to work with. 3. The third alternative would be to prepare all of the information hand written and then pay another firm or the City Engineer to transpose all of the information onto the required state forma. This also appears quite cumbersome and in the long run would be much costlier than the $2,510 investment. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: It is the recommendation of the City Administrator and Public Works Director that the City Council authorize purchase of the computer hardware and software and authorize entering into an agreement with the Minnesota Department of Transportation as outlined in alternative O1 at a cost of $2,510. This proposal has been reviewed by the City's data processing personnel and found to be consistent with the overall plans, goals, and future direction of City computer development. They concur with the recommendation to purchase as outlined in alternative I1. D.

Consideration of approving a resolution adoptinq the 1992 Economic Development Work Plan and IDC budqet. (O.K.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: The City Council is being asked to consider the approval of a resolution which adopts the 1992 Economic Development Work Plan and IDC budget. This action is necessary to comply with the following State requirements for Star City recertification: 1. Submit a summary of the 1991 major economic development highlights, accomplishments, and challenges. 2. Submit a one-year action plan and budget which is offically approved by the Industrial Development Committee (Star City Commission) and the City Council. The one-year action plan will include goals, strategies, activities, time lines, and individual assignments. 3. List of individuals serving on Star City Commission and City organizational chart. 4. Community site visits are staggered to occur once - every three years (Monticello was visited in 1990 so will not be visited until 1993). 5. All written recertification materials to be submitted to the Department of Trade and Economic Development by March 17, 1992. Secondly, the City of Monticello became a Star City in 1982. During the past years, a question that is frequently asked is "What is a Star City?" Allow me to share with you the State's definition of "What is a Star City?" • A community that recognizes every community opportunity. • A community that unites groups in building a healthy community. • A community that values its business and industry. + A community that sots realistic goals. • A community that takes charge of its own future. • A community that can make things happen. The Star City program was created to onhanco economic development skills and capacity at a local level. Communities participate as individual cities, networks of cities and towns, or part of a Star County organization. Communities earn the designation by completing a rigorous, four -component process that includes organizational dovelcpment, information gathering and Analysis, strategic planning, and markotinq. 34 Council Agenda - 2/24/92 Third, you will note the enclosed Monticello 1992 Work Plan includes the continuation of the four -component process. The preliminary draft of the work plan was developed by an IDC subcommittee of Shelley Johnson, Don Smith, and myself. The subcommittee developed the work plan through the results of an IDC Self -Assessment Survey, the 1992 BRE Survey, and the assessment of the 1991 Economic Development Activity Report. All IDC members and staff received the preliminary draft in December, modifications were made at the Janua vy IDC meeting, and the 1992 Work Plan was adopted at the February 20, 1992, IDC meeting. Finally, it is my intent to distribute the 1992 Economic Development Work Plan, the 1992 BRE Survey results, and the 1991 Economic Development Activity Report to al l companies who responded to the BRE survey, city government units, Senator Adkins, Representative McEachern, and all local taxing jurisdictions. Please review the 1991 Activity Report and the 1992 Work Plan for questions and comments. I welcome comments and will briefly highlight only a couple of areas. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. To approve the resolution adopting the 1992 Economic Development Work Plan and IDC budgot as prosonted. 2. To deny approval of the resolution adopting the 1992 Economic Development Work Plan and IDC budget as presented. 1. To suggest mods fications to the 1992 Economic Development Work Plan and IDC budget. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Recommendation is for alternative 61 to approve the resolution adopting the 1992 Economic Development Work Plan and IDC budget as presented. Reasons for the recommendation aro that IDC members and City staff, the EDA, and the HRA have made or have boon given opportunities to suggest other modifications to the work plan. Also, this allows time to moot the State deadline of March 17. D.

Approved this 24th day of February, 1992. City AdminiotraLor C Mayor Council Agenda - 2/24/92 16. Consideration of a $5,000 Grant from the State of Minnesota„ Department of Natural Resources, under "The National Resource Development Proqram" for plantinq trees. (J.S.) REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: City staff has budgeted $5,000 for 1992 for planting trees on public property such as parks throughout Monticello. The City of Buffalo has informed us of a grant available through the Department of Natural Resources to assist communities with making their tree -planting dollars go farther. The grants are available to eligible communities for up to 508 of the total project costs for trees and planting and maintenance up to a limit of $5,000. Under this grant system, project allocation would be as follows: Purchasing 40 trees 1-1/2" caliber or bigger at $125 ea. _ $5,000 Planting of 40 trees by independent contractor at $50 ea. _ $2,000 Tree maintenance by the City for three years reimbursed through grant funds. 40 trees X $25/troe/year X 3 years $3,000 Under the above grant program, the City would end up expending only $2,000 for planting trees this year. we would, Lheeefore, have a surplus of $3,000, which could be used for other purposes or could actually be used to expand the tree planting program. The areas considered this year for tree planting are the south perimeter of the now parking lot planned at City Hall, the now park in Cardinal Hills, possibly School Boulevard, the yard waste compost facility, the ballfiold complex, the water reservoir site adjoining the Remmolo property, the well 04 site, and others. In order to be eligible for the funds, communities must proclaim an Arbor Day observance. The City has done this in the past, which isn't a problem. In addition, we must have a tree department or board and a municipal tree ordinance, of which we have both. We will be working toward achieving the standards of the "Tree City U.S.A." program. Our submittal of a grant application does not assure us of receiving the grant funds. There Is only $128,142 available in the state for 36 C0 Council Agenda - 2/24/92 community tree planting. A copy of the letter from the Department of Natural Resources describing the grant is enclosed for your review. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. The first alternative would be to authorize City staff to prepare a grant application in the amount of $5,000 to the Department of Natural Resources. 2. The second alternative would be not to apply for the gr -ant. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: It is t1he recommendation of the Public Works Director that the Council consider application for the grant as outlined in alternative U. This would add approximately $3,000 to our budget amount and could be used for expanding the tree planting program or other uses. D.

(O.K.) In May of 1991, the City Council approved a $500 contribution/ pledge for the development of a Wright County Economic Development Plan subject to pledge commitments from all other county communities. At this time, committed pledges have not been collected from any of the cities or townships, and the cities of Ostego, Buffalo, and South Haven have not approved a pledge commitment. The Wright County Commissioners authorized the hiring of a consultant firm to develop a county economic development plan and authorized an in-house study for the establishment of a County HRA. The Industrial Development Committee (IDC) has concerns about the development of a county taxing authority, meaning: Would Monticello receive an equal return for their dollars invested? As per a telephone conversation with Attorney Ron Batty of Holmes 6 Graven, it is my understanding that if Monticello's HRA was established as an "active city authority," then a county authority shall not undertake any project within the boundaries (area of operation) of any city which has not empowered the authority to function therein unless a resolution has been adopted by the governing body of the city and by any authority which has been established in the city, declaring that there is a need for the county authority to exercise its powers in the city. Therefore, if Monticello is not within the area of operation, the following does not apply: Within the area of operation, any authority shall constituto a taxing district for the purpose of levying and collecting special benefit taxes. All of the taxable property, both real and personal, within that taxing district shall be deemed to be benefited by projects to the extent of the special taxes levied. Subject to the consent by resolution of the govorning body of the city in and for which it was created, authority may levy each year a tax upon all taxable property within that taxing district. A city authority may join with any authority to permit the authority, on behalf of the city, to plan, undertake, administer, and carry out a leased existing housing assistance payments program, pursuant to Section 8 of the U.S. Housing Act. A city may so join with an authority unless there is an authority in the city which has boon authorized by resolution under. Section 469.003 to transact business or exercise powers. This paragraph needs further resoarch by the local HRA to determine Its current powers. This is an updato only. No action is necessary by the City Council. I will present any preliminary drafts of the county plan or study to tho City Council, HRA, IDC, and Commissioner Pat Sawatzko.
