Jerry Shannon of Springsted, Inc., reported that l 1 bids were received for the issuance of $1,575,000 in G.O. bonds to finance the Klein Farms 4th Addition improvement project. It was recommended that the sale of bonds be awarded to Harris Trust & Savings Bank at an interest rate of 4.3905' and net interest cost of $249,334.88. City Administrator Rick Wolfsteller also recommended that Council approve entering into an agreement with Springsted, Inc., to provide continuing disclosure services and monitoring related to this bond issue for an initial fee of $250 plus $200 for each additional bond that they monitor. AFTER DISCUSSION, A MOTION WAS MADE BY CLINT HERBST AND SECONDED BY BRUCE THIELEN TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION AWARDING THE SALE OF $1,575,000 G.O. BONDS TO HARRIS TRUST & SAVINGS BANK AT AN INTEREST RATE OF 4.3905`A AND NET INTEREST COST OF $249,334.88. Motion carried unanimously. SEE RESOLUTION 97-53.

MOND SALE. Motion carried unanimously. Assistant Administrator Jeff O'Neill reported that staff has for some time been working on the trunk storm sewer program and issues relating to storm water management and system design; however, it was recommended that an overall management plan he completed to include analysis of areas outside of the original study area that are not developing as quickly and to establish local water quality standards. The cost of the study was estimated at $40,000 but would need to be funded through reserves, as the study was not included in the 1997 or 1998 budget. ANTER DISCUSSION, A MOTION WAS MADE BY BRUCE. THIELEN AND SECONDED BY CLINT HERBST TO REFER AUTHORI7.ATION OF PREPARATION OF A WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN TO THE BUDGET DISCUSSIONS IN PROGRESS. Motion carried unanimously. Page 3 O Council Minutes - 10/27/97 10. Consideration of changrp in Ao i y for sewer and water worker emergency response time. In the report submitted by Public Works Director John Simola, it was noted that the current policy, amended on February 8, 1993, requires individuals hired for the water/sewer collection system department to live within a 10 - mile driving distance to the public works shop. This requirement was established for emergencies because backup of city sewers and/or safeguarding the city's water supply requires quick responses from the department. The original policy was in effect when Rich Cline was hired in 1990, who at that time lived 12.4 miles from the public works shop and signed an agreement stating that he would move closer to the city prior to the end of his probationary period. After moving to a residence in Big Lake which was closer and then to a residence above Ernie's Bait on East Broadway in Monticello, the Public Works Director recently learned that Mr. Cline was currently negotiating the purchasing a house in Silver Creek Township, which is 11.6 miles from the public works shop. There was concern that the home was located beyond the 10 -mile requirement, and it would not be possible for Mr. Cline to reach the public works shop within 10 minutes. Matt Thiesen, Water/Sewer Collection System Superintendent, noted that the response time was established based on the fact that basements begin flooding 45 minutes after the Chestnut Street lift station goes down. He noted that he is in the process of surveying other communities for information regarding emergency response time and pager/on-call requirements. In addition, he stated that when he drove from the residence in question to the public works shop, it took 14.5 minutes. A MOTION WAS MADE. BY BRIAN STUMPF AND SECONDED BY BRUCE THIELEN TO KEEP THE CURRENT 10 -MILE DRIVING DISTANCE. TO THE CITY SHOP POLICY BASED ON THE FINDING THAT PRECEDENTS HAVE BEEN SET IN THE PAST WITH THE HIRING OF OTHER WATEWSE.WBR COLLECTION SYSTEM EMPLOYEES AND THE REQUIREMENT WAS ESTABLISHED TO SERVE THE NEEDS OF THE PUBLIC. Before voting on the motion, Tim Connors, I.U.O.E. Local 49 representative for the city employees, requested permission to address the Council on behalf of Rich Cline. He stated that none of the 30 cities in the metro area which he represents have a residency requirement, and it was his view that the policy was unreasonable. In addition, he noted that it was Mr. Cline's understanding that he would be first responder to emergencies; and since he hasn't been given that opportunity, he should not be required to abide by the 10 -mile policy. Page 4 �../ Council Minutes - 10/27/97 Council explained that employees were not promised a specific number of emergency calls but were required to live within 10 miles to respond to calls if needed. Rich Cline explained that he has always made himself available to the City and, according to the Public Works Director, was considered to be the first responder to emergencies. However, very few calls had been received during his employment, including the three years he lived within city limits. In addition, he noted that no one had ever specified the shop or a specific place that must be reached within 10 minutes. The home he proposed to purchase is 8.2 miles from the city limits, which is the same distance as his previous home in Big Lake; however, the actual drive time would be faster due to easy access to the freeway. A vote on the previous?y-made motion was then taken: Motion carried unanimously. In his report to Council, the Public Works Director noted that in preparation of replacing two worn out plows, $10,000 was placed in the 1998 budget. Due to the long delivery time for snow plows, it was recommended that new plows be purchased as soon as possible from Little Falls Machine at a price of $5,415 each. A MOTION WAS MADE BY CLINT HERBST AND SECONDED BY BRUCE THIELEN TO AUTHORIZE REPLACEMENT OF THE TWO NORWEGIAN PLOWS WITH TWO FALLS MODEL. TER -12 TRIP EDGE REVERSIBLE. PLOWS AT A TOTAL. COST OF $11,533.95, INCLUDING SALES TAX, FROM LITTLE FALLS MACHINE, INC. Motion carried unanimously. 12. Consideration of purchase of snow plow for 4 -wheel drive Case loader. In his report to Council, the Public Works Director recommended that authorization be given to add an all -hydraulic plow and quick hitch to the new Case loader rather than the 936 Cat as previously planned, which would save approximately $6,500. A MOTION WAS MADE BY ROGER CARLSON AND SECONDED BY CLINT HERBST TO AUTHORIZE ADDING AN ALL -HYDRAULIC 9 -FT PLOW AND QUICK HITCH TO TILE CASE LOADER AT A COST OF $4,483.65, INCLUDING SALES TAX. Motion carried unanimously. Pago 5 Council Minutes - 10/27/97 A MOTION WAS MADE BY BRIAN STUMPF AND SECONDED BY ROGER CARLSON TO APPROVE THE BILLS FOR THE LAST HALF OF OCTOBER AS PRESENTED. Motion carried unanimously. 14. Other matters. A. Councilmember Clint Herbst requested that Council identify which of the annexation criteria offered by the Township were not acceptable. It was noted by other Council members that since the petitions had already been forwarded to the Municipal Board, further discussion of the issue should wait until a decision has been reached. No action was taken. A MOTION WAS MADE BY BRUCE THIELEN AND SECONDED BY CLINT HERBST TO ADJOURN THE MEETING. Motion carried unanimously. Karen Doty Office Manager Page 6 0 Council Agenda - 11/10/97 W.S.) With the growth of the community, additional pressures are put on the public works department to keep levels of service to the public from degrading. This becomes more and more difficult to accomplish while some of our older infrastructure system requires more and more care, i.e., signs, street lights, signals, streets, patching, building repairs, parks equipment maintenance, and general upkeep and mowing. Additional pressures are also put on the system by an increase in vandalism throughout the community. Simply stated, more roads, parks, trails, structures, and cemeteries means more effort is required to stay even, let alone increase levels of service. The City Administrator, Assistant Administrator, and myself have been investigating the possibility of splitting the parks department from the street department. Most likely, the parks department would include cemeteries and the tree program. The street department, of course, would oversee streets and alleys, snow and ice, shop and garage, street lighting, and public parking lots. We have begun work on the actual areas of responsibility and job tasks for each department. In preparation for this change which will be brought before the Council in early 1998, we have budgeted for two additional full-time employees and have included enough funds so that one of the new employees could be the Parks Superintendent or one of the existing employees could be transferred or promoted to same. At this point in time, we are asking the City Council only to authorize hiring one additional employee who will be the first official full-time parks department employee. Job descriptions are written generic enough so that the primary responsibilities of this individual will be in the parks department but will also work with other departments in the city. Initially the individual will work under the direction of the Street & Parks Superintendent. H ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS; The first alternative is to authorize the advertisement for the position of full-time parks worker, with the actual ratification of the position occurring at a later date. The second alternative would be not to hire additional full-time employees at this time. Council Agenda - 11/10/97 C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: It is the recommendation of the City Administrator, Assistant Administrator, and the Public Works Director that the City Council authorize hiring a full- time parks worker as outlined in alternative #1. This employee is needed to meet the minimum levels of service depicted in the Snow Plowing/Removal Policy. Enclosed you will find a list of public works employees, their hire dates, and a breakdown of the typical areas they work in. _v 1997 BUDGET SALARY DISTRIBUTION (by percent) DISTRIBUTION BY DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEE HIRE JOB I I I SHADE I I I DTE TRE CITY HALL ALLEYS PARKS TRE FIRE LIBRARY Mack.

The Merchants Association had two concerns. The first concern centered around the City's 4 -wheel drive tractor/snowblower which clears the sidewalks from Pinewood Elementary to the high school, with the exception of the area from the Pump -n -Munch to city hall. The merchants questioned why we couldn't stay on the sidewalk and clear the sidewalk between the Pump -n -Munch and city hall rather than driving the tractor down the street. This sidewalk rarely sees winter sun and is more difficult to maintain than the north side. Secondly, the downtown merchants questioned the level of service by MnDOT and snow removal services on the sidewalks along Highway 25 from River Street to 3rd Street. The limited space in this area and the volume of snow pushed out onto the sidewalks by the State has made it extremely difficult for those merchants to open a walking path within 24 hours after the end of a snow event. Ager discussing these issues at the staff level with the Street Superintendent, the public works employees, and MnDOT's snow removal crew and discussing increasing the level of services with Tom Wood, MnDOT's supervisor for the Monticello area, we have come to the following conclusions: The City should not clear the sidewalk along the south side of Broadway between the pump -n -Munch and city hall by keeping the 4 - wheel drive tractor/snow blower moving along that portion of sidewalk. This work for City crews is most efficiently performed during daylight hours after the snow plowing operations have ceased, and there are hazards to the general public from the large snow blower traveling where people step in and out of doors. There also is a possibility of picking up any debris on the sidewalk where there would be newspapers or more solid objects and striking vehicles or pedestrians nearby in the crowded quarters along the storefronts' parking on Broadway. It is the general consensus, however, that we should step up the level of service that we provide in the area of the Chamber building and on our own vacant lots, as well as enforcement of the snow removal policy on sidewalks adjoining privately -owned vacant lots. Council Agenda - I V10/97 It is the consensus of the City staff, public works employees, and MnDOT local representatives that the City should not step in and attempt to clean heavy snow from those sidewalks along Highway 25 (due to the massive amount of manpower and equipment needed to do the job properly by removing the snow off the sidewalks and hauling it). It is felt that more can be accomplished by assisting the State to do their job. Immediately after completion of normal snow plowing operations, the State's primary directive is to clean areas along guard rails and bridges where tapered snow could become a launching pad for vehicles. After this work is completed, they then move into the sidewalk area along Highway 25. There are not always over -time hours available to complete this work without doing it during normal work hours. In addition, often the State could be short an operator or operator and truck, which could delay the start of the snow removal services on Highway 25, as they must have a complete team assembled, including moving safety signing, to accomplish the task. Therefore, the City will assist in the following manner: I 1 We will draft a letter to MnDOTs district supervisor, Randy Reznicek, in St. Cloud, requesting that MnDOT step up the minimum levels of service offered along Highway 25 for removing snow off sidewalks by authorizing over- time hours to do so when necessary to achieve desired results. 2) In addition, when requested, the City of Monticello will provide one operator or an operator and a truck to assist the State with snow removal operations off the sidewalks from River Street to Oakwood Drive. This operation can take one to two days. Under a worse case scenario, it may be necessary for us to hire a truck and operator at a rate of $40 per hour for our own snow hauling operations in the middle of the night elsewhere in the community so that we can free up a man to work with the State. This would cult $320 for an 8 - hour day. The business community along the entire length of Highway 25 would benefit from this, including the City and its residents. Council Agenda - 11/10/97 The first alternative is to clear the south side commercial sidewalks between the Pump -n -Munch and city hall with our tractor/snow blower and to become the primary responsible party for clearing snow off sidewalks along Highway 25 from River Street to 3rd Street. The second alternative would be not to clear the commercial sidewalk on the south side of Broadway between the Pump -n -Munch and city hall, but to step up our levels of services on our own properties in those areas and the enforcement of snow clearing of vacant property sidewalks. This alternative also includes working with the State by requesting they step up their minimum levels of services provided along Highway 25 and that the City assist them when requested with one operator or a truck and operator so that they can meet those minimum levels of service. The third alternative would be not to clear the commercial sidewalk on the south side of Broadway or assist the State. f, STAFF RECOMMENDATION: As Public Works Director, it is my opinion that the best option for the City at this time is alternative 112. The snow clearing of the sidewalks along Broadway in the commercial district is best handled by shovels or very small snow blowing equipment, and it is best performed by adjoining property owners. Another option not discussed would be for them to collectively hire someone to do it or the City to do the same. For the sidewalks along Highway 25, it would be difficult for the City to gear up to match the services provided by the State of Minnesota and perform them at an earlier time! By assisting the State when requested, they can increase their levels of service. This appears to be the lowest cost and best solution. This still makes the adjoining property owner the primary responsible party for monitoring and maintaining the condition of the sidewalks adjoining their property but will get the City involved and step up the level of service provided by the State to acceptable levels of service, thereby easing the burden of the adjoining property owners. The City Administrator and Street Superintendent concur with this recommendation. This would still require the merchants to have their sidewalks cleared after 24 hours of the end of n snow storm, but any storms where significant amounts of snow are pushed on the sidewalks, we would not enforce the 24- hour requirement again until the State had completed their work. 11 Q11UU1ADIPI P (IATA. Copy of proposed letter to MnDOT's district office in St. Cloud. November 7, 1997 Mr. Randy Reznicek Maintenance Supervisor MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 3725 - I2th Street North P.O. Box 370 Saint Cloud, Minnesota 56302 Re: Snow Removal from tiidewalks Aiyoining State llightra),15 thrrrugh Monticello Dear Mr. Reznicek: The Monticello Chamber of Commerce has brought to our attention that MnD0T's snow removal services along Highway 25 in Monticello do not appear to have the priority they did a few years ago As you know, all of the snow from the four driving lanes on I lighway 25 is pushed to the outside and piled on the narrow sidewalks, often blocking access to some of the buildings This Is especially In the area from River Street to 3rd Street. This heavy compacted snow from the highway plows Is almost impossible to remove without the use of heavy equipment In discussing this with MnDOT en7ployees here in Monticello and Supervisor, Tom Wood, It appears that the cleaning ofthe sidewalks is sometimes delayed due to the unavailability of overtime hours and sometimes the lack of an equipment opemtor and/or truck to put together the snow removal team We, therefore, suggest the following solutions to the problem That MnDOT establish a minimum level of service that under normal conditions the sidewalk clearing operations In Monticello will begin within 48 hours a(ler the end of a storm event, and that MnDOT will direct sonic overtone hours to this function where necessary 11 Is possible this work could be completed quicker at night Thatwhen requested to do so the City of Monticello will plovlde one operator or 12 -yard dump truck and driver to assist MnDOT in snow removal operations along Illghwmy 25 through Monticello.

Respectfully, CITY OF MONTICELLO William A. Fair The Honorable Mayor Clint Herbst Council Member �- Bruce Thielen Council Member Brian Stumpf Council Member Roger Carlson Council Member JEWbcs cc: Rick Wolfsteller, City Administrator John Simolo, Public Works Director File ap2 Council Agenda - 11/10/97 cbm W.S.) The City of Monticello's past Council meeting minutes show that the first snow plowing/removal policy was adopted on November 10, 1975. Additional amendments or modifications were made on November 24, 1975, and November 27, 1989. With the growth of the community, it became more obvious that we needed to update our snow plowing and removal policy. Roger Mack and myself attended a League of Minnesota Cities sponsored snow policy workshop in late fall of 1996. The first draft of the new snow policy was completed in December of 1996 but was put on hold pending the outcome of the pathway clearing debates. The new policy, which was given to you at the meeting of October 27, 1997, provides more detail than the old policy and also describes the minimum levels of service expected. In most instances, we expect many to be able to exceed the minimum levels of service. The new policy, of course, also includes City -maintained pathways, hockey rinks, and general skating rinks. The policy also contains sections from the parking ordinance and a statement that the Wright County Sheriffs Department will rigorously enforce those ordinances from November 15 through April 15. The policy as presented does not include the additional work for clearing sidewalks in the downtown area requested by the Downtown Merchants Association. In addition, the minimum levels of service described in the policy cannot be met without one additional employee in the Parks Department, whose primary area of responsibility in regard to snow will be pathways, skating rinks, and sidewalks. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. The first altemative would be to approve the snow plowingtremoval policy as drafted. 2. The second alternative would be to add a section requiring clearing of selected sidewalks in the downtown area. 3. The third alternative would be to make changes to the policy as drafted as determined by the City Council during Monday evening's meeting. 4. The fourth alternative would be not to approve the snow plowing/ removal policy. Council Agenda - 11/10/97 It is the recommendation of the City Administrator, Public Works Director, and Street Superintendent that the City Council authorize approval of the snow plowingtremoval policy as presented either under alternative #1 or #2. This, of course, is based upon the assumption that the Council has authorized the hiring of one additional parks worker, whose primary area of responsibility in the winter is the pathways and skating rinks. A copy of the draft policy was included in your agenda packet for the meeting of October 27, 1997. Additional copies are available at city hall. We have also included with the agenda packet a copy of the old policy so that you may compare the two documents. CITY OF MONTICELLO SNOWPLOWING/REMOVAL POLICY GENERAL Purpose The purpose of this policy is to establish uniform and consistent guidelines for the plowing and removal of snow within the city of Monticello. Areas of Responsibility Through its adoption, the City Council of Monticello is responsible for the policy established herein. Implementation of this policy is the responsibility of the Street Supervisor in conjunction with the Public Works Director and City Administrator. The chain of command is the City Administrator, Public Works Director, and Street Supervisor, in that order. All decisions as to time, method, and materials used on snowplowing/removal operations will be made by the Street Supervisor, Public Works Director, and City Administrator, and any amendments are to be in accordance with the amendment section of this policy. Amendments to Policy Any amendments to this policy require Council approval. Whenever possible and practical, amendments should be brought up at Council meetings and should be a matter of public record. However, to allow for emergencies or other extenuating circumstances, when time does not permit Council approval or action, the Public Works Director is hereby authorized to amend any portion of this policy he sees fit. If practical, the City Administrator shall be notified and shall approve of any such amendment. Any such amendment made due to a particular emergency shall be brought to the attention of the Council if the amendment is to be a permanent one. Work Schedule Scheduling of employees is the responsibility of the Street Supervisor under the jurisdiction of the Public Works Director. Overtime should be kept at a minimum, with all overtime scheduling being approved by the Public Works Director. The Public Works Director shall notify the City Administrator of any unusual amount of overtime to be performed and the reasons. +0SNOWPLOW.POL: II/27/89 Page 1 Snowolowine/Removal Schedule Upon accumulation of snowfall, the Street Supervisor will arrange for the street department employees to initiate snowplowing procedures (11/10/75, #tl). Emergency routes (County Road 75 from West River Street to East County Road 39, including Hart Boulevard past the hospital and State Highway 25*) will be plowed first and then Third Street (to provide access to all three schools). The Street Supervisor will then coordinate plowing of the downtown area: east/west, north/south streets within city proper, outlying areas, and parking lots. Top priority will be given to the actual plowing operations before snow removal. Snow removal will most likely occur the following day or evening. POLICY ON SPECIFIC AREAS Streets All streets within the city limits of Monticello are to be maintained by the City except those portions of County State Aid Roads and State Highway 25 which are not covered by reimbursement agreements and I-94 and those streets that have not been accepted by the City. Downtown Area For purposes of this provision of the snowplowing/removal policy, the downtown area is defined as Broadway Avenue from Linn Street to Palm Street, and on Pine Street from 4th Street to River Street." In the downtown area, snow removal operations will take place as soon as possible after all snowplowing has been done, usually the following evening. Snow will be removed only on the above streets within the downtown area and any other property with inadequate off-street parking along the four lane portion of County Road 75 when snow in the parking lane causes a public safety concern as determined by the Public Works Director and upon approval of the City Administrator (11/24/75,112) (11/27/89, p5). All other streets will be plowed onlv (11/24/75, 03). Walnut Street, Broadway south to alley. Allevways The three alleyways in Blocks 34, 35, and 52 shall be maintained by the City. This does not include areas adjacent to the alleyways behind buildings and stores which are the responsibility of the property owner. • State Highway 25 is the responsibility of MN/DOT; City is to remove snow only when authorized. "As authorized by MN/DOT. 9•� SNO WPLO W. PO L: 11/27/89 page Sidewalks All sidewalks, except the Sidewalk Improvement Project of 1975, and the Highway 25 sidewalks at the 1-94 right-of-way (I V27/89, #4), shall be maintained by the adjacent property owner. The Sidewalk Improvement Project of 1975, east on Broadway from Lot 12, Block D, to Washington Street and west on Broadway from Lot 10, Block 37, up to, but not including, the Pinewood School property, shall be maintained by the City. Included is that portion in front of the old Senior Citizens Center, the Fire Station, and the sidewalk along the west side of the parking lot at Third and Walnut, and the sidewalk on the west side of the Walnut Street lot.

If such snow and ice is not removed by the owner or occupant within thq time specified hergin, the same shall be removed under the direction of the Director of Public Works, and the expense of such removal shall be levied aeainst the property owner as a special assessment and collected as in the case of other special assessments. Parkine Lots All city parking lots shall be cleaned of snow and ice as soon as possible after a snowfall. The timing of snowplowing/removal of parking lots and their priority will be dependent upon existing conditions.

SNOWPLOW.POL: 11/27/89 1-4 Pogo 0 Council Agenda - 11/10/97 Gommunity andTraining� City Council is asked to consider adopting the recommendation by the Community Center Task Force for architectural services, which is to appoint the firm of Ankeny Kell Architects (AKA) and authorize City staff to prepare a contract for service. THE SELECTION PROCESS On September 22, the City Council authorized City staff to send a letter of intent to the National Guard regarding the City's commitment to build a community/training center and directed the Task Force to begin the process of hiring an architect. In response, staff prepared a request for proposals and submitted it to six qualified firms in the area. Each of the six proposers met with City staff to discuss the proposal, and all of them provided a proposal which was reviewed by each of the members of the task force. The list of six was narrowed to three for interviews. Ankeny Kell, Short Elliot Hendrickson, and Ellen Lukin Architecture were interviewed on November 3. In the end, Ankeny Kell Architects (AKA) was recommended for the following reasons: AKA was selected due to their successful track record in designing and building community centers and their strong understanding of operations and maintenance of such a facility. They received excellent recommendations from the Chaska City Administrator and the Champlin Parks Director. The reference provided by Chaska noted that AKA did a great job of obtaining community input and participation in the project, which resulted in a facility that matched the needs of the community --and within budget. ANKENY KELL ARCHITECTURE Ankeny Kell Architects is a full service architecture and interior design firm. Founded in 1976, the firm has grown from a small business to a mid-sized firm with over 20 employees. Similar projects that Ankeny Kell has recently completed include the St. Croix Valley Sports Complex (breaking ground), Maplewood Community Center, Chaska Community Center, Champlin Ice Forum, and Inver Grove Heights Community Center. Attached is a copy of the proposal submitted by Ankeny Kell. A promotional video tape is also available that outlines the firm's capabilities and features comments from city officials from the cities of Maplewood, Chaska, and Champlin. This video tape will he shown continuously during the upcoming business expo. Council Agenda - I V10/97 THE Near STEPS If the City Council adopts the recommendation made by the Task Force, Ankeny Kell and staff will prepare a contract for approval by Council at an upcoming meeting. In order to complete contract negotiations, AKA and the Task Force will need to review the building program in more detail and develop a cost estimate and architectural services fee accordingly. The next meeting of the Task Force has been scheduled for 5 p.m. on November 25, 1997. Soon thereafter, AKA will begin to set up community meetings for gaining important input on the mix of uses and subsequent design of the facility. In accordance with the City Council direction on September 22, 1997, to begin the land acquisition process, City staff will be taking quotes and authorizing both a phase I environmental review and a boundary survey of the site. Staff plans on having a City booth at the expo that will feature the Community Center, among other current projects. At the booth, there will be a slide show, a display, and the Ankeny Kell video may also be running. We hope to obtain survey information from people that visit the booth regarding their views on the community center. FINANCE PLAN UPDATE The National Guard submitted a letter of intent to the City regarding their participation in the project. See the attached letter for details. The lease revenue bond approach to funding the core facility remains the primary method. However, the Task Force continues to explore other options to supplement lease revenue bond financing for financing the core facility and aquatic or ice facilities. There is also some good news regarding property taxes. Depending on property classification, it appears that there will he little or no tax increase in 1998 even with the entire high school debt and one-half of the wastewater treatment plant debt in place. This is due to an increase in property tax revenue resulting from growth and due to other factors affecting school aid programs. Continued analysis of project financing options will be occurring simultaneously to the design process. The Task Force continues to look at options for funding water or ice with the initial core project. It ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Motion to accept the recommendation of the Community and Training Center Task Force and direct staff to work with Ankeny Kell on contract documents accordingly. Council Agenda - IV10/97 Motion to deny the recommendation of the Community and Training Center Task Force. C. STAFF F..OMMF.NDATION: Staff recommends alternative ill. We are excited about the prospect of working with this firm. They have done great work in the past and have a solid understanding of what makes a community center successful. D.

This provision is rarely exercised and, if exercised, it is highly likely that the City would be in significant need of our services. We are also very interested in becoming a partner in the selection and use of an architect.

Co raid ra ion of an apnea of a denial of n variance to the r yAmd setback_. Applicant, John Johnson (J.O.) As you may recall, at a previous City Council meeting, John Johnson was granted approval of a conditional use permit allowing a planned unit development that allowed a car -detailing facility to he constructed on a parcel west of the auto body shop. The PUD allowed common use of the side lot lines and associated parking lot. The site plan approved included denial of a variance request. John Johnson is appealing the decision regarding the variance request. Please see the attached information from a report prepared by NAC on the site plan and associated variance. Motion to deny appeal of the Planning Commission decision based on the Planning Commission finding that no hardship exists that prevents the use of the property if the setback law is followed. Granting the setback under these circumstances would set a precedent. Motion to grant appeal of the variance denial based on the finding that Marvin Road is not likely to be used as a public right-of-way. This finding is speculative. No decisions have actually been made with regard to the ultimate use of Marvin Road. C. STAFF RFCOMMFNDATION: City staff supports the Planning Commission decision for reasons outlined in the Planning Commission's finding and for reasons outlined in the attached staff reports. 1).

(NAC) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND NP Background. Mr. John Johnson has submitted a request to construct an autobody repair facility upon a 14,650 square foot parcel of land located south of Interstate 94 and west of Sandberg Road. To accommodate the request, the following approvals are necessary: Conditional use permit to allow the establishment of an autobody repair facility (with accessory outdoor storage) within a B-3, Highway Business District. 2. Planned unit development conditional use permit (PUD/CUP) to allow shared use of an outdoor storage area (by an adjacent autobody repair facility). 3. Variance from the minimum 30 foot rear yard setback imposed in B-3 Zoning rf Districts. Conditional Use Permit Review CUP Review Criteria. The purpose of the conditional use permit process is to enable the City Council to assign dimensions to a proposed use after consideration of adjacent land uses and their functions. In this regard, the City of Monticello is provided a reasonable degree of discretion in determining the suitability of certain designated uses upon the general welfare, public health and safety of its citizens. Procedurally, the Planning Commission and City Council must consider the possible adverse effects of the proposed conditional use. Its judgement shall be based upon, but not limited to the following factors: 1. Relationship to the Municipal Comprehensive Plan. 2. The geographical area involved. 3. Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is / proposed. 4. The character of the surrounding area. 5. The demonstrated need for such use. Planning Commission Agenda - 10/7/97 Applicable B-3 District provisions list autobody repair and accessory outdoor storage as conditional uses subject to various performance related conditions. Provided all performance are satisfied, it is believed the proposed use can compatibly exist upon the subject property. Planned Unit Development. As shown on the submitted site plan (Exhibit 8), the applicant is proposing to share an outdoor storage area with an adjacent autobody shop to the north (also owned by the applicant). To accommodate this 'shared use" arrangement, the processing of a planned unit development conditional use permit (PUD/CUP) is necessary. The PUD process is intended to allow certain design flexibilities in order to provide a more desirable development product. Aside from the referenced outdoor storage area, the PUD may also accommodate a shared parking arrangement and associated parking lot setback flexibility. Lot Requirements. The B-3 Zoning District does not impose a minimum lot size requirement. The ordinance does, however, stipulate that lots within B-3 Districts must be not less than 100 feet in width. At ± 110 feet in width (measured at front setback), the site in question exceeds minimum lot width requirements. Setbacks. With the exception of the rear yard setback, the proposed autobody shop complies with applicable B-3 District setback requirements as shown below: Required Setback Proposed Setback Front Yard 30 feet 47 feet Side Yard 10 feet 17 feet— Rear Yard 30 feet �19 feet To accommodate the proposed rear yard setback, the applicant has requested approval of a variance. This item will be addressed in a latter section of this report. Off-Stroot Parking. According to the zoning ordinance, automobile repair facilities must provide 8 off-street parking spaces plus 1 space for each 800 square feet over 1,000 square feet. Thus, the proposed autobody shop must provide a total of 11 off-street parking spaces. As shown on the submitted site plan, a total of 7 off-street parking spaces have been proposed. As a condition of PUD/CUP approval, the site plan should be revised to comply with applicable off-street parking supply requirements. As a means of maximizing land //-2. Planning Commission Agenda - 10/7/97 area devoted to off-street parking, a shared access and parking arrangement should be considered. Attached Exhibit C graphically illustrates an alternative parking arrangement which meets the referenced off-street parking requirement. Outdoor Storage. As noted previously, the applicant is proposing to share an outdoor storage area with an existing autobody shop located to the north of the subject site (also owned by the applicant). Via the PUD, such arrangement may be considered acceptable. Issues related to the possible ramifications of a future property sale on the shared use arrangement should be subject to comment by the City Attomey and stipulated in the PUD agreement. The ordinance states that the vehicle storage area associated with an autobody shop must be limited to 50% of the area of the autobody shop. Assuming the entire outdoor storage area is to be devoted to vehicle storage, the outdoor storage area has been found to comprise + 75 percent of the area of the principal building. Accordingly, the vehicle storage area should be reduced to 50% of the area of the principal building. In large part, the configuration of the proposed outdoor storage area prompts the need for the requested principal building setback variance. To avoid the need for such variance, consideration should be given to reconfiguring the outdoor storage area in a manner similar to that graphically illustrated upon attached Exhibit C. Screening. According to the ordinance, outdoor storage areas must be fenced and screened from view of residential uses and public rights-of-way. As a result, the outdoor storage area must be specifically screened from Marvin Road to the west and Sandberg Road to the east. The ordinance also states that 'vehicle storage areas" must be minimally screened by a 6 foot high 100 percent opaque fence which is designed to blend with the autobody shop and constructed of materials treated to resist discoloration. Surfacing. As a condition of CUP approval, outdoor vehicle storage areas associated with autobody shops must be surfaced in asphalt or concrete. Building Materials. According to the ordinance, the advertising wall (of an autobody shop) which faces the public right-of-way must consist of not more than 50% metal. The ordinance further states that the secondary or non -advertising wall facing a public right-of- way must utilize a combination of colors or materials that break up the monotony of a single color flat surface. As a condition of CUP approval, the autobody shop must comply with applicable building material requirements. Lighting. As a condition of CUP approval, all exterior lighting must be hooded and so directed such that light source is not visible from public rights-of-way or neighboring residences. Planning Commission Agenda - 10/7/97 Signage. The submitted site plan does not specify the type and location of site signage. 14 As a condition of CUP approval, all signage must comply with applicable provision of the ordinance. Loading. In accordance with ordinance requirements, the site plan should be modified to illustrate an off-street loading space. p Variance Review �)� a %(' a i e `�� LOI 1➢ ff Variance Review Criteria. As noted previously, the applicant has requested a variance from the 30 foot rear yard setback imposed in B-3 Zoning Districts. Section 23-3 of the ordinance states that in considering requests for variance, the Planning Commission and City staff must make a finding that approval of the variance will not: 1. Impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property. 2. Unreasonably increase the congestion of the public street. 3. Increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety. 4. Unreasonably diminish or impair established property values within the neighborhood or in any other way be contrary to the intent of the ordinance. The ordinance further states that a finding of non -economic hardship must be made and that the property in question cannot be put to reasonable use if the variance is denied. In review of the preceding variance evaluation criteria, it is believed that non -economic hardship (unique to the subject property) does not exist to warrant approval of the requested variance. As an alternative to the request for variance, a repositioning or downsizing of the building should be considered. An alternative building 'positioning' which complies with B-3 setback requirements is illustrated upon attached Exhibit C. DECISION ONE: Conditional Use Permit A. Conditional use permit approval as per the site plan depicted upon attached Exhibit B.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that in recognition of the contributions made to the Monticello community by the Monticello Rotary Club over the years, and in recognition of assistance in maintenance and development of Prairie Creek Park, the Prairie Creek Park shall include a sign on the site that is consistent with comprehensive plan standards now under development indicating the park as a "Rotary Park" associated with the Monticello Rotary Club; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Monticello, the Monticello Parks Commission, and the Monticello Rotary Club shall work cooperatively in the development and enhancement of Prairie Creek Park. Adopted this day of , 1997. Mayor City Administrator it. -I Council Agenda - 11/10/97 A RFFFRENCR AND BACKGROUND: We have prepared a conceptual proposal to the Township which would settle the current disputed annexations and replace the current Orderly Annexation Area with a new agreement. This proposal is prepared for three primary purposes. The first would be an attempt to avoid the expense, time, and uncertainty of a Municipal Board hearing. Such hearings can be very costly, can delay the City and landowner's plans for new development, and there is no guarantee as to the outcome, although the City can make a very strong case for Municipal Board approval. The second purpose is to craft a new agreement which better reflects the City and Township's needs and concerns with regard to growth and development in the future. The current OAA does not serve the City's interests at all. As a result of the inadequacies of the OAA, the Township's concerns are poorly protected as well. We believe that a new collaborative agreement would better serve the interests of both parties than either the current OAA or any Order issued by the Municipal Board as a result of the current petitions. The third purpose is to put forth a proposed settlement which either creates a large incentive for the Township to agree or, if the Township doesn't agree, makes it clear to the Municipal Board that the Township's position is unreasonable. As a result, the proposal is structured to ofTer the Township several inducements to drop its opposition to the current petitions and enter into an agreement with the City. The idea in this proposal is to make those inducements so apparent that the City could think of this proposal as its "best offer." Attached to this agenda item is a memorandum which overviews the proposal and outlines the key elements of the agreement. Also attached is a proposed map of the new OAA. �13 Motion to pass a resolution authorizing the City Attorney to present the attached proposal to the Monticello Township Board in an effort to resolve current and future annexation disputes without the necessity of a hearing before the Minnesota Municipal Board. Motion not to pass a resolution directing the City Attorney to submit o settlement proposal to Monticello Township at this time. I - Council Agenda - 11/10/97 C. STAFF RFCOMMF.NDATIW Staff recommends approval of the motion directing the City Attorney to present the settlement proposal to the Township. As noted above, we believe that a reasonable offer to the Township serves the City's interests both in avoiding the expense and delay of a hearing, and also in the event the issue proceeds to the MMB as scheduled. The hearing scheduled for November 17 is almost certain to be delayed to allow both parties to prepare more effectively and to encourage settlement. Therefore, there is adequate time to present the proposal to the Township and get a response prior to the final hearing date. Exhibit A - Memorandum outlining annexation proposal Exhibit B - Map of proposed OAA boundary revision 1a NFNCNORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS COMMUNITY PLANNING - DESIGN - MARKET RESEARCH MEMORANDUM TO: Monticello Mayor and City Council FROM: Stephen Grittman DATE: November 5, 1997 RE: Monticello - Annexation Petitions in Monticello Township FILE N0: 191.06 This memorandum is intended to outline a potential proposal to Monticello Township to resolve the annexation disputes currently scheduled for hearing on Monday, November 17. The proposal is designed to otter the Township a strong incentive to enter into an agreement which would replace the current Monticello Orderly Annexation Area. Most importantly, it is designed to facilitate the City's long-term planning for growth beyond its current boudaries. The advantage to the City for entering into an agreement such as this is that it allows the long term planning without concern over annexation disputes. The current OAA Order does not provide this kind of assurances. "a you are aware, this shortcoming was the incentive for the City's original interest in establishing the Urban Service Area agreement, and also the reason that the Township's otter of an amended agreement did not meet the City's interests. In addition, the proposed agreement revises the OAA line to better reflect the City's long term service capacity, growth objectives, and property ownership patterns; Allows the City to veto incompatible development proposals in unincorporated OAA, and creates a termination date for the agreement, currently lacking in the OAA Board Order. The advantage to the Township is that it otters the Township several assurances which it is unlikely to get if the MMB sides with the City in a disputed annexation hearing. These assurances include: (1) Property owner petitioned annexations only; and (2) Ten years tax payments to the Township following an annexation. m/aIr R /3-. 1 The draft agreement includes the following elements: OAA Expansion/Alteration Interim Line Annexation Initiation Tax -Base Sharing Land Use Regulation in new OAA Timing of Annexations in new OAA Duration of Agreement Proposal for Amendment to the Monticello Orderly Annexation Area: This amendment to the Monticello Orderly Annexation Area would amend the Minnesota Municipal Board's Order of 1974. The OAA line is altered from its current location to that shown on the attached exhibit. The essence of the changes are as follo%vs: A. Additional land is added in the southwest area to accommodate the Citv's intent to grow in a direction .which primarily south and wrst of current City limits. This land will accommodate residential, commercial, and industrial growth, as well as support land uses for that growth. B. Additional land is added to accommodate the Orrin Thompson south 40 acres. This land is added to absorb existing sanitary sewer tnutk line capacity in the area, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan land use objectives. C. Land to the east of the current Citv limits would he removed from the OAA, including both developed and undeveloped areas. It is anticipated that the revised OAA bowidaries would be agreed to by the City and t he -fowmship, then submitted to the Minnesota Municipal Board for final approval. In addition, all existing petitions wvtdd be included as joint resolutions by the City and the Township. Interim Annexation Lines (e.g. Urban Servo cc Areas, etc.) There would be no interim annexation lines within the revised OAA. Annexation Initiation Annexations of property within the revised OAA under this agreement would be by Township Board or property ovvner petition only. l'he City agrees not to initiate annexations avithin the OAA on its own resolution, with the sole exception for City - /3 -Z owned property. Moreover, the City agrees not to initiate any annexation by Ordinance. For property owner petitioned annexation proposals within the OAA, including property owned by the Citv, the Township Board herebv agrees to approve a joint resolution for annexation, pending the approval of the City Council. If the Township Board initiates an annexation request, the City %will consider location, service, and cost, among other factors. The City agrees to share the existing tax base of annexed parcels with the Township in a decreasing amount over a period of years, depending upon the land use status of the parcel at the time of annexation as recorded with the Wright County Assessor: For all parcels annexed to the City from within the OAA, the City agrees to pay an amount to the Township equal to the To-,ynship property tax on the date of annexation, less ten percent of such tax for every twelve full months passed since the date of annexation. The first payment shall be made within 30 days of the next May 15 following the date of annexation, and payments shall be made %within 30 days of each successive May 15 thereafter, concluding with the I Oth payment. This agreement creates a joint powers building and zoning authority over the OAA. The City's Comprehensive Plan shall be the governing land use document within the OAA. All requests for zoning, subdivision, or building permits and/or approvals shall first be submitted to the City's Planning Commission in accordance with the appropriate process for a recommendation to the City Council, where required. The City Council shall act upon the request pro or con. If approved, the applicant shall then be subject to the applicable County approval process. If denied by the City, only a successful appeal through the City's normal appeal process would allow forwarding of the proposal to the County. 'Ihe effect of the City's approval would be advisory to the County. Timeof Annexations in the new OAA There shall be no timing or staging mechanism in the new OAA agreement. All lands within the OAA boundary. as revised, shall be considered urban or suburban in character, and therefore ripe for annexation, pending appropriate initiation as described above. 13.3 Duration of Agreement This agreement shall be in force for a period of ten years. Following the ten year period, the agreement may be extended, renegotiated, revised, or allowed to lapse. Upon written notification to the other party at least six months prior to the end of the ten year period, either the City or Township can announce its intention to allow the agreement to lapse. In the event no such notification is given, the agreement shall be automatically extended for a period of five years. This agreement shall not be extended automatically for more than one five year period. The parties may amend this agreement at any time prior either to the end of the ten year period, or the end of the five year extension period. M Current City Limits ® Original MOAA Boundary Proposed MORA Revision lI Removed fro n MORA: 1,115 Acres= ® Added to MOAA: 1,020 Acres -_ Lands Currently Under Petition Draft MOAA Amendment Proposal 11.05.97 1,3-67 o Council Agenda - 1U10/97 A RFFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: The following memo is provided as an update and as preparation for a meeting between the City, developers, and Sherburne County jurisdictions on common planning issues and the Bridgeview Plat. The Bridgeview Plat is up for preliminary plat approval at Sherburne County in early December. For your information, I am providing you with the environmental assessment worksheet on the project. City Council is asked to review the EAW and the following information and give feedback to staff on the Planning Commission's approach toward the meeting. The development design calls for subdivision of the 213 -acre site into 83 lots and will result in development of 55 acres of sensitive native woodland and shoreline. According to the EAW, the natural area is identified on a statewide survey of unique areas and represents some of the last remaining oak/river woodlands. According to statistics on biodiversity, current oak savannah acreage is less than .1% of oak savannah prior to settlement. The developers are well within their rights in developing the land in the manner proposed. The Planning Commission will he taking the opportunity to explore ideas for enhancing the design through preservation of the natural areas. JOINT MEETING FORMAT Representative Mark Olson will be moderating the meeting on November 18, 1997, at 7 p.m. at the River Inn. There will be a general discussion regarding issues that may be common to the Planning Commission and others, followed by specific discussion with regard to the Bridgeview Plat. The goal will be to determine if there is common ground or interest among the developers, Sherburne County, and Township officials to save the virgin woodland area. Preservation could occur through development of a "cluster" concept under county/township jurisdiction, or preservation could be accomplished through development of a planned unit development that would require city services. A planned unit development allowing 240 lots is allowable under Wild and Scenic act regulations but would require extension of city utilities and dedication of the 55 -acre natural area as park land. Extension of utilities across the river may be affordable according to estimates. The Planning Commission will be taking a very positive and cooperative approach, being careful to listen to concerns by the Township regarding City involvement. Planning Commission will be inviting discussion on the Council Agenda - 11/10/97 potential of entering joint power agreements that would allow sharing of tax base. Such agreements would provide the Township with the tax base they need from the development and prohibit further City development, thus preserving township borders beyond the Bridgeview Plat. As you probably know, there is precedent in Sherburne County for joint agreements between City and Township regarding tax base sharing. I am not familiar with the City of Big Lake/Big Lake Township model, but perhaps this model can be a start. Please note that the Parks Commission reviewed the potential of managing the 55 -acre parcel for park land and supports the concept of preserving this area for future generations to enjoy. Discuss meeting format and authorize the Planning Commission to explore options for development of cooperative agreements between the City, developer, and Townships which would allow preservation of unique natural areas. This approach and reasons supporting the approach are identified in the attached resolution. Discuss meeting format and deny authorization to explore options for cooperation. This alternative should be selected if the City Council believes that the natural area is not significant and efforts to preserve it are not necessary or likely to be to costly or fruitless. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: There is nothing to lose and everything to gain by opening friendly discussions with the developers and with our neighbors to the north. This is "our" (Big Lake Township(Becker Township/Monticello City) last chance to preserve a great natural treasure. It is important to determine if the importance of preservation is shared by the Townships and County and to determine if the City needs to be involved. Therefore, staff concurs with Planning Commission and Parks Commission recommendations to open discussion and actively explore avenues for cooperation. D.

Describe any measures to be taken to minimize or avoid adverse impacts. Common species in the area include Ring-necked Pheasants, Whitetail Deer, Gray Squirrels, Rabbits, and small rodents. The Mississippi River is adjacent to the site. The river supporta an aquatic ecosystem to include Mussels, Northern, Carp, Walleye, Bass, etc., and water fowl. There is a wetland located adjacent to the site, a paulustrine emergent seasonally flooded wetland. This wetland is within the NSP Park land. A riverine lower perennial unconsolidated shore seasonally flooded wetland is located on-site within the floodplain, as identified on the National Wetland Inventory Maps prepared by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The upland area of the site is used by a variety of mammals and birds. Common species in the area include ring-necked Pheasants, Whitetail Deer, Gray Squirrels, Rabbits, and small rodents. Upland plant communities include row crops, grasses, and woodland including Bur Oak, Pin Oak with scattered Eastern Red Cedar. Understory species include Cherry, Elm, Sumac, Prickly Ash, and Hazel. The sandy soil and rolling terrain provides habitat for burrowing animals. The primary land use will be convened from row crop agriculture to low density residential use. The lots are a minimum of two acres in size, which will allow the developer, contractors and homeowners to protect fragmented wooded areas if desired. Loss of wildlife habitat by this project will include open land and the wooded area removed for street and home construction. b. Are there any state -listed endangered, threatened, or special -concern spedes: rare plant communities; colonial waterbird nesting colonies: native prairie or other rare habitat; or other sensitive ecological resources on or near the site? EYes D No If yes, describe the resource and Crow it would be affected by the project. Indicate if a site survey of the resources was conducted. Describe measures to be taken to minimize or avoid adverse impacts. A portion of the plat, located mostly in section 34, township 33N, range 28W of Becker Township, has been Identified on the Minnesoy Blalogjc-+! dao as 'Natural Plant Cotnmunitics and are identified as *oak woodland/brushland' forest cover. Comments received from the Sherburne County forester, Tim Edgeton, stated the following: It Is one of only a few natural arras remaining in Sherburne County that typifies what this county once looked like. These areas should be preserved as much as possible. Platting this particular area Into 2 acre lots will destroy the plana and other features that make this area unique. If a system were in place to acquire and preserve 'open space', land such as this, would be top priority. 'Due to the extreme value of lard (historical. environmental. and Its potential), u there are alternatives avallable to preserve even a few of the IS to 18 lots that are proposed for this area. 1 strongly recommend that they be considered. It would also cause less Impact on the landscape. If the lot sizes were considerably larger in this particular area.' According to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resource's Natural Heritage database, a Bald Engle's nest was recorded on the site. It U located In the NE 1/4 of the SE U4 of the SW 1/4 of Section 27 in a wooded area on the bluff within this project. The Bald Eagle Is of *Special Concern' in Minnesota and It federal status is Threatened' The following was stated In a letter from Mary Miller from the DNA on October 30, 1996: The nest with an Intubating female was found In 1994 and . although It was not used In 1995 and 1996, the potential exists for the eagles to utilize It again In the future. Eagles often build several nests in a territory and use different nests in different years. In addition, the wooded areas along the river in the vicinity of the project are used by the eagles for travel, feeding and roosting. It Is recommended that the exact location of the nest be determined and that construction of homes and lawns be confined to areas back from the bluff in the area of the nest and that a buffer of trees be maintained around the site.' 101111097 Oq O.3 A representative from the DNR reported during a telephone conversation with the developers surveyor, that the Eagles moved to an island adjacent to the NSP power plant in 1995 and 1996. The location of the Eagles is unknown 1997. During a site visit made by the surveyors on August 7, 1997, the nest was not visible and may have been blown down by high winds in that area. 12. Physical Impacts on Water Resources WJI the project involve the physical or hydrologic alteration (dredging, S&V, stream diversion, outfall structure. diking, impoundment) of any surface water (lake. pond, wetland, stream, drainage ditch)? ■ Yes 0 No If yes, identify the water rew rcos to be affected and describe: the alteration.

Describe any steep slopes or highly erodible soils and identity them on the site map. Describe the erosion and sedimentation measures to be used during and eget construction of the project. During construction, silt fence and straw bale check dams will be used. Sherburne county requires sites to be permanently seeded within 14 days of the completion of grading, unless there are critical areas of special concern As stated by the developer, permanent seeding and disc anchored mulching will be performed within 72 hours of the completion of grading. The temporary erosion control devices will be removed when permanent vegetation is established. Steep slopes with highly erodible soils occur along the river bank of the Mississippi River. The Sandberg Loamy Course Sand (258E) has slopes from 12 to 35 percent. A ridge of Sandberg runs north from the river across several lots in the plat. IS. Water Quality - Surface Water Runoff a. Compare the quantity and quality of site runoff before and after the project. Desorbe methods to be used to manage and/or treat runoff. The quality of surface runoff will change from agricultural runoff to a more urban oriented type of runoff. The rotated cropland will be converted to two acre lots. The runoff Is planned to be treated by vegetated swales. The majority of the vegetated swales will be under 2% grade. This promotes infiltration and water quality. The runoff from the road surface and the majority of the driveways shall be treated as described in Section 4.9 of "Protecting Water Quality in Urban Areas Best Management Practices for Minnesota." Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Division Of Water Quality. The applicants drainage engineer has stated that the driveways with culverts will act as check dams to promote Infiltration. Barr Engineering and Sherburne County's engineering department will review all drainage, grading and erosion control plans. b. Identity the route(s) and receiving water bodies for runoff from cite site. Estimate the YrOact of the runoff on the quality of the receiving waters. (If the runoff may affect a We consult 'EAW Guide/Las' about whether a nuewnf budget analysis is needed). The runoff will now either overland, or through vegetated swales or culverts to the Mississippi River. A minor increase In phosphorous may be expected, however, agricultural fertilizer application will be eliminated. The degree of change that may octtu will depend on the amount and usage of urban lawn fertilizers by future homeowners. The rate of sediments leaving the site prior to permanent vegetation being established may Increase, however, once the permanent vegetation is established, the rate of sedimentation should decrease as cropland Is converted to lawns. 19. Wator Quality - Wastewater a. Describe sources, quantities, and compoartion (except for normal domestic sewage) of all sanitary and industnal wastowatem produced or treated of the site. Waste water Is Limited to normal domestic sewage. Usage will be estimated as recommended In PAN Rules Chapter 7080.

The municipal waste is estimated at 2.5 pounds/capitayday. Municipal waste collection Is performed by several Independent haulers who contract directly with private individuals. The County, and nearby Cities, have recycling programs for glass, paper, and meal. As indicated by the developer, some homeowners could keep horses. The horses would generate manure at an estimated 15 pounds per horse per day. Disposal would be by spreading as fertWxer on the pasture. Homeowners may Install fireplaces, or wood burning, stoves which produce ashes. Disposal of the ashes would be by land spreading, or In the municipal wastes. b. Indicate the number.

Descnbe any measures to be taken to mininuze or ovoid adverse impacts. Item a. The opinion of the Minnesota Historical Society is that there is "a good probability that unreported properties may be present". Item d. Much of the project adjacent to the Mississippi River Involves a steep bluffline and much of the renufning shoreline Is covered by floodplain up to 300 feet back from the Aver. Although Sherburne County has restrictions through ler Reaeatlanal River ordinance and Floodplain Ordinance on shoreline alteration, homeowners are persistent In applying for alterations, or based on past experience, some will alter the property without applying for a permit If a buffer area was maintained as common ground, rather than pan of the Individually owned lots. It would be much easier to protect the shoreline and the Impact torte from alterations, many of which homeowrters would have the right to apply for under the ordinance. U private ownership of riparian lots num to the river, It Is Likely that every landowner will be wanting a private stairway. Also, many will remove trees. brush, and proceed with landscaping without approvals since they own to the river and feel that with ownership comes the right to landscape their lot In whatever mace ner they please. The wooded area on the site which Is classified as •'natural plant community' remains In ler original state. It is one of the only areas In the County which has not been altered by human activity. It Is designated as a 'oak wooWandlbmahland' forest cover. It will be impossible to maintain the integrity of this area as platted. If the plat was designed to preserve this area as "open space" much of the site could remain In Its natural stale.

The project is subject to the Sherburne County Zoning Ordinance, the Recreational River Ordinance and the Floodplain ordinance The majority of the site is zoned Recreational River District. Five lots are in the Special Use District ( district within the Recreational District), and approximately IS acres are zoned for Agricultural Use. All the lots meet the Recreational River District's zoning. For the project to conform to the Zoning ordinance, the area zoned Agricultural will need to be rezoned, as the lots in this zone do not conform to the ordinance. The Agricultural zone allows a minimum lot size of 40 acres or 5 acres if wooded. If rezoning occurs, an amendment to the Comprehensive plan would be required for that area which is currently zoned "Agricultural".

As you know, the Monticello/Becker/Big Lake "community" is one of the fastest growing areas in the state of Minnesota, land use decisions made today by each jurisdiction will have far-reaching and lasting impacts on all of us. The Monticello Planning Commission invites you to if special meeting to open a dialogue between neighbors on land use planning issues and to discuss opportunities for StntilCounty/fownship/Developer cooperation in development of the area known as the "Bridgeview Plat." The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m., November 18, at the River Inn. The discussion will be moderated by Representative Mark Olson. With regard to the Bridgeview Plat, the Planning Commission would like to lake the opportunity to review the design of the impending development and proposo alternatives for enhancing the development through preservation of unique native woodland and shoreline areas along the north bank of the river. The Planing Commission concepts fire consistent with environmental goal #2 of the Sherburne County Plan, which states "Protect, had with significant natural features such its the Mississippi River shoreline or areas of native prairie or virgin woodland." Similarly, the Monticello Comprehensive Ilan cauls for initiation of discussions with other jurisdictions find developers regarding development along the river. On behalf of the Planning Commission, I look forward to the opportunity to present and discuss possible strategies for teaming with the developer, 'rownship, and County to accomplish mutual goals. Thank you for considering attending this important meeting. !lease RSVI'to Wanda Kraemer at 271.3205. -13 Mau1.eIH.1'i17 flail. :MII.

RESOLUTION 87 - RESOLUTION SUPPORTING PRESERVATION OF 55 -ACRE NATURAL AREA THROUGH COOPERATION BETWEEN CITY OF MONTICELLO, SHERBURNE COUNTY, BIG LAKE TOWNSHIP, AND BECKER TOWNSHIP WHEREAS, according to the Bridgeview Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW ), the plat area is comprised of 213 acres, of which a 55 -acre natural area has been identified on the Minnesota County Biological Map as "Natural Plant Communities" and are identified as "Oak wood land/brushland" forest cover; and WHEREAS, the natural area has been untouched by agricultural or residential development and is the only remaining example of this type of ecosystem in the Monticello area; and WHEREAS, the proposed Bridgeview Plat design is not compatible with the Sherburne County Comprehensive Plan; environmental goal 112 states, "Protect land with significant natural features such as the Mississippi River shoreline or areas of native, prairie or virgin woodland"; and WHEREAS, according to the EAW, County Forestor Tim Edgeton states, " It is one of only a few natural areas remaining in Sherburne County that typifies what this county once looked like. These areas should be preserved as much as possible. Plotting this particular area into 2 -acre lots will destroy the plants and other features that make this area unique. If a system were in place to acquire and preserve "open space," land such as this would be a top priority"; and WHEREAS, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Natural Heritage Database, a Bald Eagle's nest was recorded on the site. Mary Miller from the DNR recommends that construction of homes and lawns he confined to areas back from the bluff in the area of the nest and that a buffer of trees be maintained around the site; and WHEREAS, according to Larry Kramka of the DNR, the Wild and Scenic Regulations allow development densities at this location to increase from 83 units to 240 units without a variance if developed with public utilities and if the 55 -acre natural area is preserved in perpetuity in its natural setting; and WHEREAS, the southern edge of the natural area extends along the northern edge of the city of Monticello; and WHEREAS, the Monticello Parks Commission supports inclusion of the Bridgeview Plat nnturnl areas in the Monticello Parks system; and WHEREAS, preliminary cost estimates indicate that it is financially feasible to extend utilities from the city of Monticello to the Bridgeview Plat. The, cost to provide trunk storm sewer is low as compared to other development property south of the freeway in the city of Monticello; and Resolution 97 - Page 2 WHEREAS, the Bridgeview Plat, under Township jurisdiction, will result in 83 private well and septic systems, while the City of Monticello has sufficient sanitary sewer and water system capacity; and WHEREAS, higher density development and associated shared use of natural areas serve to meet State of Minnesota goals by reducing urban sprawl; and WHEREAS, development of homes with high valuation will contribute toward balancing Monticello's housing stock, which is a goal of the Monticello Comprehensive Plan; and WHEREAS, the Bridgeview Plat, if located in the city, will enable Monticello citizens to purchase executive "step-up" housing without having to leave the city limits; and WHEREAS, the area Townships and Sherburne County do not have a parks system and may not be equipped to manage natural areas; and WHEREAS, the city park system, including ballfields, trails, park playgrounds, and river parks are enjoyed by Sherburne County citizens; and WHEREAS, the City of Monticello is the logical jurisdiction to provide municipal services. Bridgeview residents will rely on the City to provide parks, library, community center, ice sheets, aquatic centers, etc.; and WHEREAS, due to proximity to the city, future residents of the Bridgeview Plat area will identify their residence with the city of Monticello; and WHEREAS, there are many examples of cities with land areas on both sides of a river and in two counties; and WHEREAS, development of the site under an urban setting provides a larger market base for area businesses and institutions; and WHEREAS, the Monticello Planning Commission supports working cooperatively with the Township and County toward preservation of the natural nreas; and WHEREAS, expected high home valuation resulting from a desirable river setting and nssociated taxes generated by the site are projected to exceed the cost to provide municipal services, thus serving to justify n city/township tax -sharing progrnm; and WHEREAS, it is projected that the cost to provide services to high value homes under Township jurisdiction is significantly less than the tax revenue generated, thus it is anticipated that annexation of the area to the city of Monticello is not supported by the Township without a tax -sharing program; and WHEREAS, there aro no pro -existing orderly annexation ngreements between the City of Monticello and Becker Township or Big Lake Township governing annexation. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED TIIAT, contingent on developer, Township, County, and Stale Agency support: IT � y, Resolution 97 - Page 3 1. The City of Monticello supports development of a joint powers and/or tax -sharing program that will assure preservation of Township revenue projected had development occurred as originally proposed under the Bridgeview Plat. 2. The City supports development of joint powers agreements that prohibit further extension of city utilities without approval from townships. 3. The City will support creative development of the Bridgeview Plat area as a planned unit development. 4. The City will provide municipal services to Bridgeview Plat residents. 5. The City of Monticello will seek assistance from the Stale of Minnesota and/or environmental groups in the form of direct grants to help support the coat of the project. 6. The City of Monticello will manage natural areas in perpetuity for enjoyment by residents of the Bridgeview Plat/Sherburne County and Monticello residents. 7. The City of Monticello will work cooperatively with the developer to design a site plan that maximizes potential for economic return while preserving natural areas and complying with the Wild and Scenic Act regulations. This includes development of a portion of the lots with private access to the river. 8. The City of Monticello and developer will conduct engineering studies necessary to determine design and feasibility of utility system extension, the cost of said studies to be incorported into the financing of the improvement project. 9. Storm sewer facilities will be designed to assure pruper treatment and metering of storm water run-off. 10. In lieu of development of the site under City jurisdiction, the City of Monticello supports re -design of the plat under a cluster housing design and requests that environmentally sensitive areas be protected and managed by Sherburne County as a natural area for the Monticello/Becker/Big Lake community to enjoy.

Community appeal to new retidrnts, familia, and tourism Protection of natural areas promotes the overall livability and vitality of wmmu- oities, offering not only quality ait and dtinking water, but slur scenic bcawy and oplxsrtunitics for low -impact rccrcatiun (birdwatching, hiking) enjoyed by i residents and tourists alike. Gins unities with ample natural areas and alien space arc considered good places &sr children, and ober high quality of life to all residents. I Low-cost storanruatrr management and flood control Natural oras reduce the rate and volume of stounwater tunufl, dtereby teduting dee inciderux and severity of flotuting and erosion. When development teplates 10 natural areas and other areas of vegetated groundeover, communities either mast undertake the great expense of installing and maintaining elaborate stormwatcr management systems or will sustain repeated episodes of property damage relat- ed to flooding and loss of agricultural production due to topsoil erosion. Purification system far drinking water and surface waren Vegetated natural areas safeguard the quality of surface and groundwater (drink- ing water sources) by reducing the sediment load that enters waterways and by fil- tering out toxins and excess nutrients. When natural areas are lost to develop- ment—especially when vegetation is replaced by impervious surfaces (such as pavement) or when an area is subjected to chemical -intensive land uses—ground- water may become increasingly compromised over time, creating a public health concern for communities reliant upon wells for drinking water, and/or necessi- tating expenditure for purification systems to meet drinking water standards. Decreases in surface water quality have a negative impact on resource -related eco- nomic activities such as fishing, boating, and tourism. Contribution to air parity As is true of vegetated landscapes in general, natural areas promote air purity by utilizing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. Air quality has direct implications for human health, in particular as regards the incidence and severity of respiratu- ry diseases. protection of natural areas can las part of a community's overall plan to promote a healthy living environment for its citizens. lnerrased property value While protected natural areas on public or private land may in sono cases be .sub• legit to a reduced property tax rate, the designation of a site as a natural area is commonly viewed as an amenity that commands a preutium for adjacent lands in the real estate market that results in an increase in the prupeny value—and thus, the property tax contribution—of adjacent lands.

A Sampling of Grants d Programs The following state programs fall in one u( two broadly defined categories: they either 1) assist local govcrnntcnu with acquisitions of land or casements, or they 2) provide funds directly to landowners so that protection is accomplished without the direct involvement of (or expenditure of funds by) a basal government. In the case of the latter, the role of government can be to inform landowners of these voluntary options.

Local governments in parts of the state that host native prairie vegetation may wish to inform private landowners of this voluntary option. Priority is given to perpetual (permanent) easements. land must meet certain specifications to be eligible, and funding is limited. payment to the landown- er for permanent easements may equal more than half of the estimated mar- ket value of the land. The Minnesota Native Prairie Bank 1'rogram is one of a suite of programs that receives its funding from the Reinvest in Minnesota Resources Fund (RIM).This legislatively appropriated fund supports an array of conservation activities, with private lands programs administered by due Board of Water and Soil Resources and public lands programs administered by the Minnesota DNR.

It is a city that knows the importance of pro- tecting its blufllands: for their rugged beauty, their sen- sitivity to erosion and related impact on water quality, their appeal to visitors and residents, and the natural communities they support. Preservation of open space in general, and of the blufflands in particular, is cited as a goal in the City's Comprehensive plan. Accordingly, when the opportunity arose to protect a major portion of the 180 -acre bluff known as Coon— as in raccoon—Hill, residents and city officials went into action. Nearly half the hill was already in public ownership, owned by the local school district. the remainder was in private ownership.'llse owner of the largest privately -held parcel, a 72-acrc property, already had an offer pending on the property from a developer. Rut she was willing to consider other after - natives, including the possibility that the City might acquire the land to protect it as a community nmural area. llsat the City was eventually successful in acquiring the property is a great accomplishment in itself, in that a future is slow secured for tire hluff`s oak fittest and prairie wildlife, rare planta and other natural fea- tures. But the success takes on even greater meaning when one considers how it was accomplished. Of the teal funding package put together for the project, $15,000 was failed by a grassnots citircn initia- tive.Organired as the "Coon Hill 14cscrvation Project." the group launched a artnntunity-wide appeal, engendering donations from local businesses. civic and sposumcni groups, and individuals, indud- ing $11.05 raised by a childrens' lemonade stand. the Red Wing Wildlife League donated a piece of proper- ty with the understanding that it would be sold and the resulting $27,000 put toward the Corm Hill effort. The City applied for—and received—a $45.750 Natural and Scenic Arca Grant Gum the Local Grants program of the Department of Natural Resoutces (DNR). the landowner decided to donate twenty of her seventy-two acres, and three adiaccnt landowners donated an additional seven acres too extend the preserve area. pro bono legal services were provided by a private attorney. The Minnewa DNR gave technical support and information about the site's natural features as requested by City staff and the citizens group.11rc private nonprofit Minnesota [.and Bust (MIA) helped facilitate the process, serving as fiscal agent, exercising the option un the land, and transferring title to the City. Aficr these collective eflbnts, less than $24,0110 remained of din teal project cost of $142,00, which the Red Wing City Council readily agreed to pay out of the City's general Bald. the project servo as a model fm creative financing and far how a city un provide an appropriate Icvcl ill' protection to mu important natural arca. A pscrleual conservation casement has been established tun due land with the help of rhe MIX, delining legally -bind- ing limitations on the sires development and use, and terms that will guide future management. "It's a deli- nite 'win-win' outcome,' says Red Wing Community Development Director Urian Prreruot, "with none of the conflict that can arise with tegnlatory wnuols. The landowncn are happy and rhr City mer its ohico lives, thanks in good part no citiren actions. We're all pleased that a site of this value, that means so inuth to us many people, has Ieen prutnted." iq _zS= v CITY OF MONTICELLO COMMUNITY VISION & GOVERNING POLICIES MONTICELLO SEPTEMBER 8,1997 - As Adopted By City Council The Monticello City Council is an elected body representing the citizens, businesses and other taxpayers within the City of Monticello.

CITY OF MONTICELLO GLOSCS-VO4.30 RSCA 'PAGE CL540R COUNCIL UPDATE November 7, 1897 Setting meeting date for additional hudeet workshop session. (R.W.) Based on direction provided by the Council at the first budget workshop session, I am completing revisions to a proposed budget document that would show possible ways of reducing the tax levy by approximately $230,000. This would be one option the Council could consider at its next budget workshop, which should be scheduled soon. Revised budget documents will be completed on Monday and will be handed out Monday night or mailed to the Council. Since our budget adoption hearing is scheduled for December 3, Council may want to consider meeting during the week of November 17. A meeting during this week should provide staff with sufficient time to complete a final budget for the December 3 hearing. suooMro uaD W7127
