MINUTES
REGULAR MEETING - MONTICELLO PLANNING COMMISSION
Tuesday, April 14, 1987 - 7:30 p.m.
Members Present: Richard Carlson, Jim Ridgeway, Joyce Dowling, Barbara
Koropchak, Richard Martie.
Members Absent: None.
Staff Present: Gary Anderson.
1. The meeting was called to order by Chairperson Richard Carlson at
7:30 p.m.
2. Motion by Joyce Dowling, seconded by Barbara Koropchak, to approve
the minutes of the regular meeting held March 10, 1987.
3. A request for a partial subdivision of a residential outlet, Outlot H,
Meadow Oak Additions to be known as the Meadow Oak Fourth Addition.
Applicant, Dickman Knutson.
Mr. Dickman Knutson wan present and gave a brief history of the Meadow
Oak Dovolopmont from its initial concept to what it Is today. Meadow
Oak was originally owned by three partnere with 40 percent Dickman
Knutson, 30 percent Jim Boyle, and 30 percent Robert Semboom.
Mr. Knutson bought out the other two partnere on the Meadow Oak Second
Addition to be platted Outlet G, Meadow Oak Third Addition to be
platted Meadow Oak Fourth Addition Outlot H. and the Meadow Oak Estates,
and the Meadow Oak Estates Second Addition Outlot C. and Meadow Oak
Estates Third Addition Outlet D around June 1, 1985. In doing so,
Mr. Knutson became the fee title owner to the existing platted subdivisions
and the four remaining outlets. In this process, Mr. Knutson, through
his mortgage holder, Midwest Federal, will aooume the financial
reoponsibility for these two platted subdivisions and the four unplatted
outlots. Mr. Knutson explained his request for the partial subdivision
of Outlot H to be known as the Meadow Oak Fourth Addition. Mr. Knutson
explained that as part of development he has only eight Iota remaining
in the Meadow Oak Second Addition, and the Meadow Oak Third Addition
is currently Outlet G and has 13 of the 15 lots sold. Conceivably,
he would like to start with the partial platting of the Outlet H,
to be known as the Meadow Oak Fourth Addition by platting only 14
of the proposed 29 lots total. Mr. Knutson used the rationale for
his request in that as part of the development it would coat only
approximately 570,000 to put in the utilities and the hard surfacing
of the street and curb and gutter for these 14 lots in comparison
to approximately $225,000 to put in the entire water and sewer utilities,
curb and gutter, and hard surfaced street into the whole 29 lots
in Outlet H to be known ae the Meadow Oak Fourth Addition. With
an already outstanding balance of $750,000 owed to Midwest Redaral,
Mr. Knutson would have to go out and borrow additional money to put
In the entire Meadow Oak Fourth Addition. In doing so, the mortgage company
-1-
Planning Commission Minutes - 4/14/87
would look more favorably at lending Mr. Knutson $70.000 than they
would at lending to him the entire 5225,000.
Chairperson Richard Carlson opened the meeting for comments from
the public. Ms. Lynn Clark, representing Mr. Jim Boyle as an owner
of Wayzata Realty, was present to explain her standpoint at representing
her client, Mr. Boyle. Ms. Clark indicated they were not in objection
to the proposed 15 lots that Mr. Boyle was presenting, but they were
in objection to not being able to market the adjoining outlot, which
is Outlot I, without any utilities extended to the edge of their
outlot between Outlot I and Outlot H. She eluded to the outstanding
assessments that were put on Outlet I. Those being substantial,
and with the market that we are in, no time would be better than
now to try and market the property if water and sever utilities were
stubbed in to the property line between Outlot H and outlot I. Ms. Clark
vent on further to explain that the City Attorney, Mr. Gary Pringle,
has had planning development experience in a previous project in
which he was involved. She would like to have the Planning Commission
consider extending Services to Outlot H and assess them to Mr. Knutson.
If not, they hoped there could be a possible compromise to this project.
Mr. Knutson would like to show for the record that Ms. Lynn Clark
does not represent his company anymore after tonight -a Planning Commission
meeting, as she was also representing Mr. Knutson in a one-time total
land liquidation of all properties owned by Mr. Knutson and Mr. Boyle.
Chairperson Richard Carlson then closed the meeting for comments
from the public and asked for comments from Planning Commission -a- are.
Hearing no comments, he then asked for a motion.
Motion by Richard Martia, seconded by Jim Ridgeway, to approve the
request for a partial subdivision of a residential outlot, Outlet H,
Meadow Oak Addition, to be known as the Meadow Oak Fourth Addition
with the following conditions.
1. That prior to recording of the partial final plat for Outlot H
to be known as the Meadow Oak Fourth Addition, an approved grading/drainage
plan be submitted to the City.
2. Prior to recording of the final plat for part of Outlot H to
be known as Meadow Oak Fourth Addition, an agreement be signed
between the developer and the City that no proposed platted Iota
in the remaining part of Outlet H to be known as Outlet A be
sold to any individual until that part of Outlet H to be known
as Outlet A has all utilities installed, curb and gutter installed,
and the recording of this part of Outlet H to be known as Outlet A
with the completion of the Meadow Oak Fourth Addition.
Motion carried unanimously.
4. A request for open discussion on a proposed concept plan for unplatted
property. Applicant. Jim Boyle.
Ms. Lynn Clark, owner of Wayzata Realty, representing Mr. Jim Boyle,
was present to ask for input from Planning Commission members on

Planning Commission Minutes - 4/14/87
the proposed platting of unplatted industrial property just to the east
of Fallon Avenue across the road from the currently existing Oakwood
Industrial Park. Her initial request stemmed from previous conversations
with City staff on proposed platting of portions of approximately
50 acres within this park of unplatted property. She indicated on
her proposed drawing the different types of ways to subdivide parts
of the unplatted property into blocks with separate lots on them.
She indicated she had discussions with our Consulting Planner, John
Uban, in regards to the proposed designs which did show up on the
proposed subdivided site plan layout map. Planning Commission members,
at this early stage, did not approve or deny her proposed platting
of this unplatted property into industrial lots and blocks. The
general consensus of the Planning Commission members present was
that the concept for it was of good planning and further planning
was needed to put it into a preliminary form for them to review at
a later data. Commission members did recognize the merits of good
quality development for thin to be done at all. Ms. Clark indicated
that the high priority on her list is to get into a good, sound development
project for part or parts of this unplatted industrial property.
Additional Information Items
1. Conditional use request, Tom Holthaus. Request approved with conditions.
Zoning Administrator Anderson indicated to Planning Commission members

Planning Commission Minutes - 4/14/87
4. Zoning Administrator Anderson asked Chairperson Richard Carlson if
` he could explain a couple other requests which will be forthcoming
and would be aubmitted just as information. They are as follows:
1. Amending the Monticello City Ordinance to not allow barbecue
grille to be used on balconies of apartment buildings. This
request was brought up to Zoning Administrator Anderson from
Mcnticello Fire Chief, Willard Farnick, for their information
at the suggestion of Zoning Administrator Anderson for the Planning
Commission members just to acknowledge receipt of this, and he
would establish further information on this proposed ordinance
amendment to be presented to them for the next Planning Cammission
meeting for their review, May 12, 1967, 7:30 p.m.
2. The other topic brought up was a proposed ordinance amendment
that would require all plumbers in the City of Monticello to
be licensed to do plumbing work. Zoning Administrator Anderson
indicated to Planning Commission members that a petition for
this ordinance amendment request is being formulated and will
be before them at the next regularly scheduled Planning Commission
meeting May 12, 1987, 7:30 p.m. The whole intent of it is that
plumbers that are licensed within the City of Monticello are
paying the dues to the state of Minnesota for being licensed.
They are training the people that work for them to became licensed
in the plumbing field, and they would like anyone also that works
with it to do the same.

3. Public Hearing - A conditional use request to allow minor auto repair
in a B-4 (Regional Business) Zone. Applicant, James Eisele. (G.A.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
Mr. James Eisele is proposing to purchase the old metal building
on the next lot near the northwest corner of our new Monticello Fire
station lot. The type of use Mr. Eisele is proposing for this building
once it is completely resided and reroofed to make it look similar
to the new Monticello Fire Station and also be more conforming to
the residential properties around it is to park and store old vehicles
which he plane to restore.
In the current zoning which exists on this parcel of land, B-4 (Regional
Business), the only way this type of activity could be allowed would
be as a conditional use. A copy of the conditions for this type
of activity is submitted with this supplement. The use of this building
for Mr. Eisole-s minor auto repair use will be very incidental in
nature in that Mr. Eisele will only be there working when he has
the time to work on it, and it won't be a full-fledged business that
he will be operating there at this time.
Mr. Eisele might, sometime in the future, establish a small business
here refurbishing and restoring vehicles. When and if it does come
to this point, Mr. Eisele would like to not run into any problems
if he did go to a full-fledged small business at this location.
Mr. Eisele fully intends to clean up the site and make it more similar
In appearance to what is existing there, our now Monticello Piro
Station and existing residences.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. Approve the conditional use request to allow minor auto repair
In a B-4 (Regional Business) Zone.
2. Deny the conditional use request to allow minor auto repair in
a B-4 (Regional Business) Zone.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the conditional use request to allow
minor auto repair in a B-4 (Regional Business) Zone. Mr. Eisele
will be cleaning up a blighted area; and with the typo of use that
Mr. Eisele is proposing for this property, it would be a lesser density
type use in that it would blend more with the residential type use
which is adjacent to this.

Planning Commission Agenda - 5/12/87
4. Consideration of Adopting Tax Increment District V. (O.K.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
In February of 1986, I met the Board of Directors for Det Scandinaviske
Vinduscompaniet A/S; Odd Jorgensen, Erik Fjerdingstad, and Roald Starheim.
The DSV is the Norwegian holding company for the incorporated North
American Window Company, of which NAWCO Minnesota, Inc., is a subsidiary.
The Board of Directors traveled to Minnesota and Monticello on several
occasions this past year. Their product being windows and doors
designed with the H -window concept has been tested positively with
the Twin City Testing Company, St. Paul, Minnesota, and has undergone
a marketing research study by C. J. Olson Marketing/Research Firm,
Minneapolis, Minnesota. The company specializes in an aluminum clad,
high energy efficient window which features the H -window concept
of a 180• turn for easy cleaning from within. In Norway, the window
is produced in 45 different colors. Their initial market area will
be Minnesota for new construction and renovations. Their legal counsel
firm is Faegre and Benson, Minneapolis, Minnesota. The twelve shareholders
visited Monticello in October of 1986 and made their final decision
to locate in Monticello and to proceed with plane for a U.S. expansion
in December. City staff has worked with Erik Fjordingstad and Roald
Starhaim to secure raw materials, business formation information,
and financing. The Minnesota Trade Office and Minnesota DEED have
also been a part of the project.
At this time, NAWCO Minnesota, Inc., has officially received a positive
response from the Norwegian Industrial Fund to complete the finance
package. The City of Monticello has always intended to use Tax Increment
Financing for the purpose of writing down the land coot. Also, the
City will apply for a Minnesota Small City Economic Grant through
Minnesota DEED for $250,000. Of the total estimated project coat
03.2 million), the shareholders will finance ono -half the project
($1.6 million plus an additional $800,000 for market backup). The
proposed project includes a 25,000 eq ft manufacturing facility with
an attached 7,400 eq ft office, showcase, conference facility for
a total of 28,400 sq ft. The proposed site is Lots 11 and 12, Block 2,
Oakwood Industrial Park, City of Monticello. Plans call for the
construction of the facility on Lot 12 with Lot 11 for future expansion.
Plano call for the facility to be operational the beginning of 1988,
with an initial employment of 21. Erik, hie wife, and their throe
children will move to Monticello this July. The Fjordingstadle are
building a home in the Meadow Oak Addition.
Erik and Roald have met with Volt Construction, Winkelman Building
Corporation, and Peterson Construction. I hand-carriod the buildors'
proposals to Norway. Tharsafter, NAWCO Minnesota, Inc., will accept
one of the proposals. At this time, Ilm unable to present building
and site plane because this decision hasn't boon made. Plans are
for construction to begin June 1, 1987, with completion of building
October 1, 1987.
-2-
Planning Commission Agenda - 5/12/87
The estimated annual tax increment to be generated from this district
is sufficient to retire a bond indebtedness of $155,000. District
life is eight years at Sh percent interest. The difference between
the bond indebtedness ($155,000) and the estimated budget ($170,000)
is $15,000.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. Approve Tax Increment District V.
2. Do not approve Tax Increment District V.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval thereby allowing staff the ability to proceed
with the prospect to insure meeting a time schedule. The City has
on record their finance plan and business plan which includes projections,
financia-1 statements, and marketing strategies. The City staff recognises
the competition of large window producing companies in Minnesota
but feel the specialized features of the N -window concept and the
commitment of the parent Norwegian companies to invest their monies
in the United States emphasizes the confidence they have in their
product.

TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PIAN
A. STATUTORY AUTHORITY
The Monticello Housing and Redevelopment Authority (the "Authority")
and the City of Monticello are authorized to create and establish
a tax increment financing district pursuant to Minnesota Statutes,
Section 273.71 through 273.78.
B. STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES
1. To provide opportunities for development and expansion of new
business;
2. To provide employment opportunities through the creation of
new jobs;
3. To provide opportunities for growth in the tax base;
4. To provide redevelopment sites of such size and character to
asaure the redevelopment of the area.
C. DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR THE PROJECT
1. Proporty to be Acquired by tho Authority: Lot 11 and Lot 12,
Block 2, Oakwood Industrial Park, City of Monticello, has been
identified for acquisition by the Authority for this Tax Increment
Plan.
2. Description of the Development Activities:
NAWCO Minnesota, Inc., (the "Developer") plans to construct
a 28,400 aq ft office/manufacturing facility. The office,
showcase, and conference room will include approximately 3,400 aq ft
and the manufacturing area 25,000 sq ft. The developer will
be assisted with the dovelopmont facility through three sources
of revenue described on Section H.
3. Other Development Not Under Contract Reasonably Expected to
Occur in the Project: The development program may include
future expansion of the original office/manufacturing facility
located in the Tax Increment Economic District. The geographical
boundaries of the district are not expected to change due to
this development.

Block 2, Lot 11
Oakwood Industrial Park 155-018-002120
Block 2, Lot 12
A map revealing the location of the two parcels within the project
is provided on the following page.
E. CLASSIFICATION OF THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT
The tax increment financing district to be established in the City
of Monticello within the project designated as the Redevelopment
Project may be classified an an economic development district.
The property to be included in the proposed tax increment financing
district consists of two vacant parcels upon which a new structure
will be constructed. The proposal does not involve the substantial
renovation or clearance of blighted buildings or land as is required
in Minnesota Statutes, Section 273.73, Subdivision 10, and the
proposal does not involve the construction or substantial renovation
of housing for low to moderate income persons as defined in Minnesota
Statutes, Section 273.73, Subdivision 11.
However, the proposal has been found to be in the public interest
because it will discourage commerce, industry, or manufacturing
from moving their operations to another state, it will result in
Increased employment in the municipality, and it will result in
the preservation and enhancement of the tax base of the municipality.
The construction of the office/manufacturing facility will add
approximately 49 jobs and increase the assessed value of the City
by $344,710. Therefore, the tax increment financing district will
be classified as a tax increment financing economic development
district.
P. ESTIMATE OF COSTS
The estimate of public costs associated with the tax increment
financing economic development district are outlined in the following
line item budget.

to be 8199,000. The maximum term of the issue is 8 years, and
the interest rate is expected to be 6% percent. The capitalised
interest amount for approximately 10 months is estimated to be
$20,900. The difference between the project cost ($170,000) and
the indebtedness (8199,000) is $19,000.
-2-
H. SOURCES OF REVENUE
The three sources of revenue used to finance public costa associated
'L with the public development projects in the redevelopment project
are a 9250,000 Small Cities Economic Development Grant, a $15,000
Land sale, and the tax increment generated as a rgsult of the taxation
of the land and building expansion in the tax increment financing
economic development district. Tax increment financing refers
to a funding technique that utilizes increases in assessed valuation
and the property taxes attributed to now development to finance,
or assist in the financing of public development costa.
The improvements to the land acquired by NAWCO Minnesota, Inc.,
are expected to generate an average annual tax increment of $30,900
beginning in 1989.
I. ORIGINAL ASSESSED VALUE
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 273.76, Subdivision 1, and
Section 273.76, Subdivision 1, the Original Assessed value (OAv)
for the City of Monticello tax increment financing economic development
district is based on the value placed on the property by the County
Assessor in 1987. This assessed value is $18,240. Each year,
with the exception of 1988 (the new assessed value in 1988 will
be "passed through" to the taxing jurisdictions when payable in
1989), the Office of the County Auditor will measure the amount
of increase or decrease in the total assessed value of the tax
increment economic development district to calculate the tax increment
payable to the Monticello economic development district fund.
Each year the County Auditor shall also add to the original assessed
value of the economic development district an amount equal to the
original assessed value for the preceding year multiplied by the
average increase in the assessed valuation of all property included
in the economic development district during the five years prior
to certification of the district. The estimated percentage of
average increase for this economic development district Is to be
determined each year. In any year in which there is an increase
In total assessed valuation in the tax increment economic development
district above the annual percentage of annual increase, a tax
Increment will be payable. In any year in which the total assessed
valuation in the tax increment financing economic development district
declines below the original assessed valuation, no assessed valuation
will be captured and no tax increment will be payable.
The County Auditor shall certify in each year after the date the
Original Assessed Value was certified, the amount the OAV has increased
or decreased as a result of:
1. change in tax exempt status of property;
2. reduction or enlargement of the geographic boundaries of the
district;
3. change due to stipulations, adjustments, negotiated or court-ordered
abatements.
J. ESTIMATED CAPTURED ASSESSED VALUE
i
� Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 273.76, Subdivision 1,
and Minnesota Statutes, Section 273.76, Subdivision 2, the estimated
Captured Assessed Value (CAV) of the tax increment financing economic
development district will annually approximate $346,710. This
amount will be captured for up to eight years. The Authority requests
100 percent of the available increase in assessed value commencing
in 1988 for taxes payable in 1989 as well as seven subsequent years
for repayment of debt and current expenditures.
K. DURATION OF THE DISTRICT
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 273.74, Subdivision 1,
the duration of the tax increment district within the Redevelopment
Project must be indicated within the finance plan. The duration
of the tax increment district will be eight years from the date
of receipt of the first tax increment or tan years from approval
of the tax increment financing plan, whichever is leas. Thus,
the City requests the available tax increment for the maximum term
possible, and requests the Wright County Auditor and Treasurer
to take such steps as may be necessary to pees through the possible
tax increments which may otherwise be received by the City in 1988
and distribute the 1988 tax increment to all taxing jurisdictions
in proportion to their respective tax levies for taxes payable
in 1988. Based on discussions with the County assessor, it is
expected that there will be $18,240 of new assessed value in 1987
payable 1988. It is this assessed value that will be "passed through"
to the taxing jurisdictions. This action will delay by one year
the collection of any tax increment to 1989 and thus will permit
the City to collect eight annual increments from the time the development
In the project is first paying taxes. The collection of the eight
Increments is required to fully fund the development costa which
will be financed with the proceeds of the Tax Increment Bonds.
L. ESTIMATED IMPACT ON OTHER TAXING JURISDICTIONS
The impact of the loss of tax dollars represented as tax increments
is estimated below for sash taxing jurisdiction. This estimate
In based on the existing redevelopment proposals and does not include
the possible tax increments derived from any other future development,
mill changes, or inflation factors.
Total Assessed Value
Tax Increment Finance District 1/2/86 Total 818,240
Latest Assessed Value of Each Government Body:
of District
to Total
Wright County $398,556,135 .005
School District 1882 $128,901,301 .014
City of Monticello $106,712,013 .017
Other $144,501,538 .013
Considering all the districts, it can be seen from the above that
the school, city, and county districts will have over 99% of each
L respective district available for normal growth of tax base or
valuation. Applying the percentage of the total mill rate in 1987
levied by each taxing jurisdiction to the projected mill rate and
the e3timated tax increment received reveals the annual loss of
tax dollars by each taxing jurisdiction as listed in the table
below assuming development would occur without public assistance.
The finance plan indicates we anticipate a tax increment at build
out as follows:

The following table represents the additional mills that would
have to be levied to compensate for the lose of tax dollars in
estimated tax increments for each taxing jurisdiction. The tax
Increments derived from the MAWCO Minnesota, Inc., facility alluded
to in the tax increment district would not be available to any
of the taxing jurisdictions were it not for public intervention
by the City. Although the increases in assessed value duo to development
will not be available for the application of the mill levy for
the duration of the tax increment financing district, this new
assessed value could eventually permit a mill levy decrosse. If
it could be assumed that the captured assessed value was available
for each taxing jurisdiction, the non -receipt of tax dollars represented
an tax increments may be determined. This determination is facilitated
by estimating how much the mill levy for property outside of tho
tax increment financing district would have to be increased to
raise the same amount of tax dollars in each taxing jurisdiction
that would be available if the projects occurred without the assistance
of the City.
