REGULAR MEETING - MONTICELIA PLANNING COMMISSION
Tuesday, November 1, 1988 - 7:30 p.m.
Members Present: Richard Carlson, Cindy Lemm, Richard Martie, Mori Malone.
Members Absent: Dan McConnon
Staff Present: Cary Anderson, Jeff O'Neill
1. The meeting was called to order by Chairperson Richard Carlson at
7:30 p.m.
2. Motion by Richard Martie, seconded by Cindy Lama, to approve the minutes
of the regular meeting held October 4, 1988, with the following
corrections: ll On agenda item 814, the last word in that sentence would
have been Mori Malone abstaining—should be Mori Malone opposings 2) On
agenda item 814, in the second sentence, Cindy L® questioned his
experience—should be Mori Malone questioned his experiences 3) On
agenda item 85, about middle of second paragraph starting with Assistant
Administrator, Jeff O'Neill, questioned the rationale for the
demonstration of hardship. Be felt that the applicant hadn't
demonstrated any type of hardship other than monetary in this
request—strike all of that and start with Assistant Administrator, Jeff
O'Neill, noted that the Planning Commission must determine if the
variance is justified based on the hardship associated with complying
with the requirements of the ordinance. Be noted that in the past the
presence of trees has not been sufficient grounds for justifying
variances to yard setbacks. Home builders have always been required to
meet yard setbacks regardless of impact on trees located on the property.
Motion carried unanimously.
3. Rezoning request to rezone an R-1 (single family residential) tract of
Is= to R -Z Taingle ana two ramlly reiiaentia3A zone. Appitcant, Ren
Ficus/Gary befioer.
Both applicants were present to propose their rezoning request to rezone
an unplatted tract of land with a single family residence on it to
develop it into a proposed townhouse project with construction of up to
five units. The townhouses would be all owner occupied with an
association to take care of the maintenance.
Chairperson Richard Carlson then opened the meeting for any input from
the public. Coements from the public dealt with the City previously
allowing a multi -family apartment project, known as the West Cello
Apartments, to be constructed adjacent to their single family dwellings
and the additional traffic that would be generated from projects like
this when there are already traffic problems there right now. This
could be possibly setting a precedence by allowing an unplatted tract of
land with a single family residence on it to be rezoned to allow
construction of a townhouse building.

Planning Commission Minutes - 11/1/88
Chairperson Richard Carlson then closed the public hearing and asked for
any comments from the Planning Commission members. Planning Commission
members acknowledged the statements that were made from the public and
also asked for any comments that the City staff members had in regards to
this project.
With no further debate from the Planning Commission members, motion was
made by Cindy Lemmr seconded by Mori Malone, to deny the rezoning request
to rezone an R-1 (single family residential) tract of land to R-2 (single
and two family residential) zone. Motion carried unanimously with
Richard Carlson opposing, and Dan MaCauron absent. Reason for the denial
of the rezoning request is that it is an isolated piece of unplatted
residential land and might be considered as spot zoning and thereby open
the door to similar rezoning requests, the applicants failed to
demonstrate any real hardship, and because of the additional amount of
traffic that could be generated from a town] use project on this site.
4. Public Hearing - A replotting request to caplet an R-2 (single and two
rampx restaentiai) lot umEo two iesicentia iota. Applicant, Fairway
&uff)Jay A111ei.
Mr. Jay Miller was present to propose his replotting request to replat
his existing R-2 residential and two family dwelling lot into two lots.
Mr. Miller was proposing to construct a 3 -unit building on the north
one-half of this lot and a 6-4nit building on the south one-half of this
lot. The site plan as submitted by Mr. Miller did show how the lots
could be split and accommodate a building rectangle on the lot and still
meet the minimum setback requirements.
Chairperson Richard Carlson then opened the meeting from any input from
the public. There being no public present, Mr. Carlson then closed the
public hearing and opened the meeting for any further input from the
Planning Commission members. Discussion amongst the Planning Commission
members cantered on how Mr. Miller could put two residential townhouses
on this lot and meet the minimum setback requirements.
With no further input from the Planning Commission members, motion was
made by Richard Martie, seconded by Cindy Lem, to approve the replatting
request to replat an R-2 (single and two family residential) lot into two
residential lots. Motion carried unanimously with Davin McConnon absent.

n
I- z (avy inaustrlal lot into two lots. Applicant, City of
FbnEiFeilo. ZG.AJ
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROOND:
The City of Monticello is proposing to subdivide an existing I-2 (heavy
industrial) lot into two lots. The existing lot is part of a lot which
the City purchased from the Oakwood Industrial Park Partnership. The
proposed lot, as noted in the enclosed Certificate of Survey, would meet
the minimum lot width requirement, which is 100 feet, and would also
exceed the minimoa lot square footage, which is 30,000 square feet. The
newly proposed lot line dividing this heavy industrial lot would show the
placement of existing well #d and also the small test well which was put
in. She locations of these wells are within the minimum setback
requirement.

1. Approve the simple subdivision request to subdivide an existing I-2
(heavy industrial) lot into two Iota.
2. Deny the simple subdivision request to subdivide an existing I-2
(heavy industrial) lot into two lots.
C. STAPF
The proposed heavy industrial lot to be subdivided does meet or exceed
the minimum lot width and the minimum lot square footage requirements.

Planning Cmudesion Agenda - 12/6/88
y 4. Discuss potential of allowing commercial advertising to be placed on
belches situated on City right -or -way. (a.n.)
A. RSPERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
Dorothy "wmson of Sterling Signs recently proposed the idea of supplying
the City with benches for placement on the City right-of-way. in return,
the City then allows her company to place commercial advertising on said
benches. As noted in the discussion below, this proposal, though not
specifically addressed, does not appear to be allowable under our current
City ordinances. Planning Commission is asked to discuss this matter and
provide a general response to this idea. If the Planning Commission
views this idea with favor, then staff will research potential sites for
placement of benches and develop the needed amendments to the sign
section of the Zoning Ordinance.
According to Dorothy Thomson, the City would be only responsible for
providing the location for the benches. The sign company would take care
of maintaining the benches and arranging for the advertising.
PROPOSAL DOES NOT COMPLY WITH EXISTING ORDINANCES
Although this particular type of sign is not addressed specifically in
the Zoning ordinance, a sign situated on a moveable tench could be
considered a temporary sign, which is not allowed by the Zoning
Ordinance. In addition, the sign that is proposed would sit on the
right-of-way, which is also not allowed by a different City Ordinance.
8. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. Direct staff to research possible locations for benches and draft
ordinance amendments that would allow placement of benches/signs on
City right -of -ray.
the potential benefits include free benches for use by the citizens
of Monticello and additional advertising space is made available for
area businesses.
2. Direct staff to withhold further efforts an this matter. Recommend
that applicant petition for an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance and
petition for an amendment to the Ordinance that prohibits objects on
the City right-of-way.
Pollowing are reasons why this idea may not be acceptable to the Planning
Commission.
It could be asserted that if the City believes there is a need for a
bench in certain areas, the City should then address the problem without
outside assistance and the strings that might be attached. In addition,
there have been no recent requests from the public for benches, so it
does not appear that there is a great need for this service.
Planning commission Agenda — 12/6/88
Allowing signs to be placed on benches located in the right-of-way is at
variance with the sign section of the Zoning ordinance. An amendment to
allow this type of signage to occur may set a precedent that will open
the door to future requests for temporary signs.
The Planning Commission could take the position that the present
allowable level of signage is sufficient to encourage and promote
commercial enterprise and that adding to the signage potential by
allowing signs to be placed an benches only serves to add to visual
clutter and thereby reduce the quality of life in Monticello.
C. STAPP ROCOMM NDATION:
Staff recommends alternative +2.
D. SUPPORTING DATA:
Photos of benches and associated advertisements.

of inexpensive long-term advertising
that is hard to find. Twenty dollars per
month for the space on a two-year
contract is quite a value compared to
most other forms of advertising.
Merchants are quick to recognize
the value, too. To sell the space on
the 27 benches Craig has in Alex-
andria, he called on just 29 busi-
nesses. The fact that there are a lim-
ited number of bench sites in a city
serves as motivation for business peo-
ple to take advantage of the oppor-
tunity while it Is available.
As each bench is leased it is placed
at one of the selected locations. Craig

forms he and Russ built. An inventory
of these is kept on hand. The seat is
