MINUTES REGULAR MEETI NG - MONTICELLO PLANNING COMMISSION Tuesday — August 12, 1980 - 7:30 P. M. Members Present: Jim Ridgeway, John Bondhus, Dick Martie, Loren Klein (ex -officio) Members Absent: Ed Schaffer , Dave Bauer. 1. Approval of the Minutes. A motion was made by Dic k Martie, seconded by John Bondhus passed unanimously to approve t he Minutes of the regular meeting of July 22, 1980. 2. Public Hearing - Consideration of Rezoning Lots 1 through 14, Block 1, The Meadows. Mel Wolters, the contrac for developing those 14 lots in Block I. has requested rezoning from R•1 to R-2. His desire to do that rezoning was so lie could build duplexes on thuse lots, similar to those that Quintin Lanners proposed to build on the Christopher property (now The Brothers Plat). According to the newly amended ordinances, duplexes can he built on lots of 10,000 square feet or more in an R-2 zone and divided later into two lots of 5,000 square feet or more each and sold to separate owners. Mr. Daryl Tindle, Hillcrest Addition, was present and had questions relative to clarification of what R-2 zoning was as opposed to R -I zoning. A motion was made by Dick Martie, seconded by John Sondhu; and unanimnusly approved to recommend approval of this rezoning request. 3. Consideration of a Variance for Off -Premise Directional Signs - St. Michael and All the Angels Church, A representative of the St. Michaels Church was present and explained that they would like to install these new signs to give directions to the Church facility. However, at present, they do not have any formal agree- ments with any of the property owners upon whose property the signs would set, so this item was tabled until September 2nd meeting to give the representatives of St. Michaels Church time to make agreements with the respective property owners where the signs would be placed, and bring those agreements back and present them for consideration at the Planning Commission meeting. • 1 - Planning Commission Minutes - 8/12/80 4. Consideration of a Variance for a Driveway - Vera Diedrich. Just prior to the meeting, Vera Diedrich requested that this item be postponed until the September 2, 1980 Planning Commission meeting because of an illness in the family; however, since Mr. Jack Tucek was present at the meeting and wished to express his opinion, he presented a letter of opposition and also discussed with the Planning Commission members that he felt this proposed driveway should be rejected. Mr. Tucek asked if his comments would be read and reconsidered at the September 2nd Planning Commission meeting, and it was the consensus of the members at that point, he would not have to be present since he had made his presentation of objection at this meeting. 5. Consideration of a Variance for Blocher Outdoor Advertising. Del Blocher, of Blocher Outdoor Advertising, is requesting a variance to replace one of the wooden billboard structures that he has on the Lauring property with a single pole, steel billboard. Mr. Blocher's request was in light of his feeling that not only would the single pole structure be a more aesthetically pleasing structure, but it would also be a safer structure and would be less likely to be subject to the wind blowing it down, such as was the case with two other billboards in town during a recent windstorm. On a motion by Dick Martie and seconded by John Bondhus, it was unanimously approved to recommend that Blocher Outdoor Advertising be allowed to erect a steel, single pole pylon type billboard in place of the presently existing wooden billboard, and also, that would have to be contingent upon Mr. Blocher bringing in the advertising sign agreement pertaining to that sign prior to its construction and also that no less than $250 worth of landscaping be provided with that sign. 6. Consideration of a Variance Request for a Front Yard Setback - Robert Sartoris. Tom Klein, the contractor who is proposing to build a new home for Robert Sartoris on Lot 12, Block 3, the Hoglund Addition, requested a variance frum the City's 30' front yard setback requirement to a 16' setback requirement. That setback would allow space for landscaping behind the house to facilitate drainage and runoff from the steep hill which is in the back of the lot. Mr. Klein stated, however, that he had been in contact with the new owner, Robert Sartoris, and Mr. Sartoris has agreed to rearranging the floor plan of the home to allow the house to be able to be built where it would only require a 6' variance, that is - it could he built 24' back from the front property line. In light of the 24' setback and that there were no objections from the neighbors, and that there is quite a steep hill on the Planning Commission Minutes - 8/12/80 back cf the lot which cannot be reshaped because of different ownership of the adjacent property, upon a motion by Dick Martie, seconded by John Bondhus, it passed unanimously, to recommend granting a variance of 6' to allow the house to be built 24' from the front property line. 7. Public Hearin - Consideration of a Preliminary Subdivision Plat - River - wood Estates (Floyd Kruse). Floyd Kruse, who is proposing to subdivide 6.4 acres into seven residential lots and two commercial lots on the property now occupied by Dino's on East Broadway, is proposing to subdivide his property. However, in light of the recently developed intentions of his abutting neighbors. Mr. 8 Mrs. Kermit Lindberg, to subdivide their property also, this item was tabled until September 2nd, at which time, possibly Lindberg's and Mr. Kruse can come back wi th a subdivision of both propert ies which would be more effective and more compatible with the neighborhood and the terrain of the surrounding land. 8. Consideration of Simple Subdivision Request - Richard Lembke. Mr. Tom Holker, representing Richard Lembke of 413 River Street, the owner of Lots 2 6 3 and the East 44-1/3 feet of Lot 4, Block 7 , Lower Monticello, was present to ask for a simple subdivision of those lots. It would be the intention of Mr. Lembke to create two new lots , the Lot created on the West would have its easterly lot line 10' away from the existing house and would create a new lot west of there no less than 75' in width, and possibly more, and would leave a lot on the east side where the present building sits that is approximately 100' in width. On a motion by Dick Martie, seconded by John Bondhus, it was unanimously approved to recommend approval of this subdivision, contingent unon the newly created westerly lot being no less than 75' in width when the new lot line, created on the west side of the existing house is made at a distance of 10' away from the present house. The feeling was that if 12' could be left between the house and the west property line., that that should be reduced to 10' and that those. additional 2' he added to the 75' thus making a int as wide as possible, or as near as possible to 80', and still maintaining a 10' sideyard setback.

ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1980. Planning Comm. Agenda - 9/22/80 5:00 P.M. - City Hall Consideration of the Rezonin&, and Conditional Use for a Proposed Medical Clinic East of the Monticello -Big Lake Community Hospital. PURPOSE: To consider an application by the Monticello -Big Lake Community Hospital for rezoning Lots 1 6 13, and the West 33' of Lot 2, Block 22, Lower Monticello, and the East Half of Oak Street lying between Blocks 22 and 23, from R-1 to R -B. In addition to the rezoning request, application also been made for a conditional use for the medical clinic. For your information, the proper zoning for a medical clinic is an R -B (Residential Business) District, and such a use is allowed through a conditional use permit. The property that the Hospital is currently situated on is currently zoned as R -B. Previously, the City of Monticello has received correspondence from neigh- bors in the Ellison Park area expressing their concerns with the possible extension of River Street to accommodate a parking lot to the rear of the proposed medical clinic. It should be noted that a meeting was held with the Hospital Administrator, Cordy Jacobson and myself with these property owners, relative to their concerns. At that time, the Hospital indicated that they would share the concerns of the property owners with the medical clinic that was ultimately proposed for the area to determine if the parking lot arrangement could be changed so that the parking lot access comes off of Hart Boulevard, instead of requiring the necessity of the extension of River Street. The concerns the property owners addressed in a previous letter are enclosed. It should be pointed out that the request at this time is only for a conditional use for the proposed medical clinic and the necessary rezoning, and does not include any request for the extension of River Street to serve the parking lot in the rear. At this time., the developer of the medical clinic is looking at the feasibility of entering the parking lot proposed to the rear of the medical clinic directly from Hart Blvd. If this is not feasible, the developer may, at some time in the future, approach the City for the extension of River Street; however, it is not part of their request for Monday night's meeting. Dr. John Kasper, a property owner in the area, expressed some concern with the rezoning portion of the request. Dr. Kasper is not opposed to the medical clinic, but did express opposition to the possibility of any retail establishment which may be built in conjunction with the medical clinic - for example, a pharmacy. We advised Dr. Kasper that according to Monticello City Ordinances governing conditional use permits in an R -B zone, the ordinance states that "conditional uses may have no storage of merchandise, and are service oriented with no retail sale of goods on the premises." This would prohibit such businesses as a pharmacy from being established in an R -B zone without a variance. POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of recommending approval or denial of rezoning and conditional use permit requests.

DocTD(iS' � a"ILDING �1(PriNS'I0i�-; r tee, Planning Commission Monticello City Hall 0 Gary wieber 250 E. Broadway Monticello, MN 55362 Subject: PROPOSED PAR)CM LOT ADDITION BELOW THE HOSPITAL ON EAST RIVER STREET We, the undersigned, offer the following request on the proposed parking lot for the specialist clinic. We support the new specialist clinic connected to the hospital. However, we strongly oppose the site of the suggested parking lot below the hospital. The.end of East River Street at this time is a dead and street. It offers safety to our children from traffic as well as enhances the value of our homes. This proposed parking lot would destroy that situation. Therefore, we request the proposed clinic parking lot be located elsewhere other than below the hospital for the following reasons: 1. Potential of increased traffic flow Which will increase the traffic danger to our children. 2. Potential of further increased traffic if the parking lot is used by customers rather then just employees. We fool this most certainly will happen. 3. Removing part of the asset value of our property as we now have a Quiet low traffic area. That would be gone. 4. It will provide a new remote area for additional problems to occur at night, as well as speeding traffic going in and out. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. We look forward to this being resolved in a manner beneficial to the clinic as well as the impacted residents. Sincerely, t �-e'� 7< coos e . R.��►a...d.�. J:tl El�,urr Sr. QL ��� :d y--47 -dpo Monticello - Big Lake Hospital guard Monticello City Planning Commission I would like to register my opposition to the possible opening and extension of East River street, in order to serve as an access to proposed parking below the hospitnI. As a property owner in the immediate vicinity. I would very much favor the preservation of the seclusion and privacy afforded by the continuation of the dead-end street. The extension of this street would also, without question, create a new and "Choice" after dark rendezvous location. 1 have personally observed a vide variety of activities in Ellison Park over a several year period, none of which contribute to the neighborhood. It would certainly be unfortunate if the hospital Itself. aggravated and already serious drug problem! Finally. I want to go on record as strongly supporting the development of the medical facility. I would hope the parking requirements could be met without adversely affecting the peace and tranquillity of the Ellison Park neighborhood. n.0 Jim 1.1111jtw i L e M AGENDA SUPPLEMENT 1. Consideration of a Variance for Vera Diedrich - Two Driveways on One Lot. Vera Diedrich, who is located at 612 West Sixth Street, would like to construct a horseshoe driveway in front of her home. Prior to the street project in 1978, Mrs. Diedrich had a horseshoe drive- way in front of her home, which utilized the driveway openings to the lot on her east and to the lot on her west sides respectively. However, since the street project, which brought curbing to the property in front of V Mrs. Diedrich's house, she has been left without a horseshoe driveway U which she previously had. She is now requesting permission to install the curb cuts to reinstall a horseshoe driveway on her property. Since the time of the publication of the notice of public hearing, one neighbor, Mr. Jack Tucek, of 601 West Sixth Street, the abutting neighbor to the cast, has objected to this variance request. According to the present ordinance, two driveways in less than 125' of street frontage, requires a variance. POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of recommending approval or denial of this request. REFERENCES: Map depicting location of the property, and a letter from r Jack Tucek expressing his objection. yA APPLICANT: Vera Diedrich. gt�pA.rtc`� 2. Consideration of a Variance Request for Richard Lembko. Mr. Richard Lembko, who owns Lots 2, 3 6 Part of Lot 4, Block 7, Lower Monticello, is requesting a variance for a newly created lot of less than 80' and also a variance of leen than 10' on a sidoyard. Mr. Lembko is proposing to divide Lot 3 into two parcels, and attach the easterly 35.34' of Lot 3 to Lot 2 to create one lot of 101.34' in width. lie then proposes to take the remaining 30.66' of Lot 3 and attach that to the 44.34' of Lot 4, which ho owns, and create one now 75' wide lot. However, in providing this new lot, it is necessary that the nowly created property line come within 7' of the existing hoarse. This 7' sotback would be from the now lino to a porch which in attached to tho house, which the realtor fools could possibly be removod from the house, and thus leave 9' between the house and the newly created property line at some time in the future. u Planning Commission - 9/2/80 This item was previously discussed at a Planning Commission meeting, how- ever, at that time, the recommendation to allow this subdivision was con- tingent upon the lot which is being newly created being a minimum of 75' in width without any variances being required. However, since the time of the preparation of the certificate of survey, it has been s1 -own that a variance from the sideyard setback would be required, and thus this *� item is being re -reviewed by the planning commission. J POSSIBLE ACTION: Consider recommending approval or denial of this request. �f Y REFERENCES: Map depicting the location of the lot, and copy of certificate of survey showing the two newly created lots. APPLICANT: Richard Lembke. 3. Consideration of a Variance for the St. Michael and All the Angels Episcopal Church. A representative of St. Michaels Church was present at the last Planning Commission meeting to discuss a variance request to allow an o:Ef-premise directional sign somewhere in the area of Palm Street and East Broadway and also in the area of Fourth Street and Highway 25. These new signs would be approximately 18" x 24" and would give directions to the Church. At the last Planning Commission meeting, it wa s recon- mended that prior to the Planning Commission making a rocommerxdation to the Council on this request, that the applicant's go to those raspective 1 - property owners where they are intending to put these signs and get �1j�yo permission and have that permission relayed to the City Hall. Since that time, Mr. Clifford Olson, who owns the lot on the southea stcorner / of the intersections of 4th Street a Highway 25 has contacted the City Hall and stated that he has no objections to the sign being locatod on hie property provided, however, that the sign does not block any driveway entrance. The sign would have to be located on private property rather than on public property. POSSIBLE ACTIONi Consider recommending this request for approval or denial.

Consideration of a Variance Request for Wayne Mayer. Wayne Mayer, who lives at 110 Marvin Elwood Road (Lot 6, Block 2, Anders Wilhelm Estates), has made an application for a variance to build a garage within 26' of the front property line, rather than 30' as required by Monticello Ordinance. Wayno Mayer's request is based on his desire to build a garage which is a little bit deeper than the depth of his house, and feels that his need would be better suited if the garage could be projected forward from the house, rather than into the back yard. POSSIBLE ACTION: Consider recommending approval or denial of this variance request. REFERENCES: Map depicting location of lot. APPLICANT: Wayne Mayer. 5. Consideration of a Variance Request for John Prauqht. John Praught, who lives on Lot 29, Block 2, Ritze Manor, has made an application to allow more than one garage per dwelling, pursuant to Monticello Ordinance 10-3-2-(0)-5. According to Monticello Ordinance, as described above, whenever the second garage in built on a parcel of property, that garage needs a variance. Mr. Praught presently has a 2 -stall attached garage on his home. Mr. Praught wan in approximately one year ago, with this Game variance i1 request, and also at that time asked that the second garage be allowed to be built closer than 30' to the front property line. However, this time, \Y� Mr. Praught in only requesting permission to build the second garage, and no setback variances would be required. POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of recommending approval or denial of this variance request. REFERENCESi Encl send map depicting location of the Praught proporty. APPLICANTi John Praught. 3 - M Planning Commission - 9/2/80 6. Consideration of a Variance Request for the Cummins Auction Company. The Cummins Auction Company, of Omaha, Neb., has made a variance request to allow them to hold an auction at the American Legion Hall on Tuesday, November 11, 1980, in order that they might have a new tool auction. This variance comes because it would be held as a professional sales facility within an R -B zone, and auction sales are not allowed within an R -B zone, unless it were the property owners themselves who were holding an auction on a one-time basis. As you probably recall, in the recent past, that the City adopted an ordinance amendment that allowed auction sales facilities within a B-3 zone. This does not directly apply to this auction which is proposed for the Americal Legion Hall, but is an indication that auction sales of a commercial nature such as this, are allowed only within a B-3 zone. POSSIBLE ACTION: Consider recommending approval or denial of this variance request. REFERENCE: Enclosed letter from the Cummins Auction Service of Omaha, Neb. APPLICANT: Cummins Auction Company, Omaha, Neb. -a- n ADDITIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION ITEM 7. Consideration of variance Request - Gwen Bateman. Gwen Bateman has applied for a variance to build a 24' x 34' rambler on Lot 23, Block 2, Ritze Manor. This home would have 816 square feet, rather than the 1,000 square foot minimum required by Ordinance (see enclosed map indicating location of property). The reasons for the variance request are that Gwen currently owns Lot 23, Block 2, Ritze Manor and has applied through Farmers Home Administration in Buffalo for a loan to build a house. Farmers Home Administration regulations require that a family of one (1), as in Gwen's case, is only allowed to build a (1) or (2) bedroom rambler of 24' x 341, or 816 square feet. Farmers Home Administration does allow larger ramblers or split entry homes to be built under their loan programs, but the family size would have to be at least three (3) to meet the City's minimum size require- ments of 1,000 sq. ft. (See Farmers Home Administration Guidelines). Gwen has asked Farmers Home Administration if she could build a 24' x 34' split entry, (which is considered a two-story home), that would moot the City requirements, but Farmers Home Administration has said that this would be considered a four-bedroom home, which is not allowed in her case. A public hearing on this variance request will be held at the Council on September 22, 1980, therefore, no comments from abutting property owners have been received yet. - As you may recall, Marvin George Builders previously requested a similar type variance for all the lots in Balboul Estates to allow ramblara of 24' x 38', or 912 square feet. Mr. George's blanket variance request was denied at that time, but this variance would apply to only one (1) lot, if approved. POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of recommending approval or denial of variance request. REFEPXFNCES% Map depicting location of lot, and Farmera Homo Admin. Guidelines.

Floyd Kruse and Kermit Lindberg have jointly proposed a subdivision of their two properties, which would be called Riverwood Estates. This property is located directly east of the Monticello Wastewater Treatment Plant and adjacent to Dino's Other World. Enclosed, is a letter from John Badalich, of OSM, the City Engineer, recommending his concern that Mississippi Drive not be dead ended on the west end of the Riverwood Estates Plat. It is their recommendation that Mississippi Drive outlet either to Hart Boulevard, or an emergency access be provided through the Wastewater Treatment Plant property. As Mr. Badalich points out in his letter, the City has a 60' and utility easement extending through the Kruse and Lindberg properties as a projection of Mississippi Drive westerly. This casement should not be vacated. At this time, there has been no further conversation with Floyd Kruse or Kermit Lindberg regarding the deadending of Mississippi Drive as opposed to looping Mississippi Drive and existing onto Hart Boulevard. However, it is a staff recommendation, an well as a recommendation from Mr. Badalich, that the proposed developers consider this recommendation to not dead end Mississippi Drive but loop it to Hart Boulevard.

ADDITIONAL AGENDA ITEM - 9/17/80 Simple Subdivision Request - Decorative Services Mr. Bill Shackor, of Decorative Services, is proposing a simple sub- division of the easterly one-half of Lot 1, Block 2, Oakwood industrial Park (See enclosed Proposed Plat). If approved, the northerly created lot would be approximately 88,650 square feet, and the southerly lot would be approximately 110,250 square feet. Both lots would exceed the minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet,which is requires' in an I-1 zone, by several times. In discussing this item with John Badalich, the City Engineer, it was his recommendation that the right-of-way from Oakwood Drive to the southerly lot be 36' wide, as is proposed, and that the roadway to the southerly lot be no less than 24' in width. lie also suggested that a manhole be installed every 300' along the sewer line, keeping with good engineering practices. If this item is recommended for approval, it should be contingent upon the proper certificate of survey being presented for each new lot. That certificate of survey should be presented prior to the recording of that new property, or prior to the issuance of any building permits.
