Motion was made by Cindy Lemm, seconded by Mori Malone, to approve minutes of the regular meeting held August 2, 1988. Motion carried unanimously. 3.

Public Hearing - A variance request to allow 1) a garage to be constructed within the front yard setback requirement; 2) a garage to be built with a siding in excess of the 12-inch siding width allowed. Applicant, Vivian Jean Abrahamson. Mr. Mike Drayna was present to propose Mrs. Abrahamson's variance request. Zoning Administrator, Gary Anderson, explained to planning Commission members Mrs. Abrahamson's variance request. Mrs. Abrahamson was proposing to build a detached garage within the front yard setback requirement. The location of the proposed new detached garage would be within one foot of the front yard setback requirement. The minimum requirement is a 3D-foot front yard setback. --- Chairperson Richard Carlson then opened the meeting for input from the public. Mr. Lonnie Worth, the adjacent property owner to the north, was present to voice his objection to the variance request in that the sight line distance would be obstructed, and he would be looking at the back of the new proposed detached garage while looking out the windows of his existing house. Mr. worth also indicated with the current wind directions within the city that there would be problems with snow blocking the roadway of Front street and Linn Street, which run past these properties. 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. He 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. The applicant through Mr. Mike Drayna had indicated the preservation of the trees and also not having to have a power pole removed as the reason for the selection of this location for the proposed detached garage. --~ I . . . Planning Commission Minutes - 10/4/88 Chairperson Richard Carlson then closed the public hearing and opened the meeting for input from the Planning Commission members. With no further input from any of the Planning Commission members, Mr. Richard Carlson questioned whether any additional layout of this garage was considered so as to not need a variance request or if a garage could be constructed within the minimum setback requirements. Zoning Administrator Anderson indicated to Mr. Carlson that there hadn't been any additional layouts presented for this garage; and the reason they had chosen this location for the garage was that as part of the 1977-3 project (streets, curb, and gutter project), that was the location that was chosen by previous City staff members in that near this location of the proposed detached garage she has a hard surfaced off-street parking area already in existence. With no further input from the Planning Commission members, motion was made by Dick Martie, seconded by Mori Malone, to deny the variance request to allow a garage to be constructed within the front yard setback requirement. Motion carried unanimously. Reason for denial is that no hardship had been demonstrated and that the proposed location of the garage would definitely block the neighbor's view of the street. 6. Public Hearing - A conditional use request to allow a cold storage building to be built in a PZM (performance zone mixed) zone. Applicant, Ruff Auto. Mr. Randy Ruff was present to propose Ruff Auto's conditional use request to build a detached cold storage building along side an existing garage storage building on his dad and mother's place (Harold and Phyllis Ruff's residence). The Harold and Phyllis Ruff residence, along with all of the Ruff Auto Salvage yard property, is all under the same parcel identification number. Mr. Ruff indicated that if the conditional use request was approved, he would purchase that property from his father and construct a detached pole type cold storage building. The reason the application was filed under Ruff Auto is that he was the applicant even though the owner of the property was Ruff Auto. with no input from the public, Chairperson Richard Carlson then opened the meeting for any comments from the planning Commission. Mr. Richard Carlson questioned whether Mr. Ruff was circumventing the ordinance when the applicant, as published in the public hearing notice, was Ruff Auto when in reality it was Mr. Randy Ruff, one of the sons of the owners, that is the actual applicant. zoning Administrator, Gary Anderson, indicated to Mr. Carlson that it definitely was a request by Randy Ruff, but is currently under the ownership of Ruff Auto; and the land would be sold over to Mr. Randy Ruff if the conditional use was approved. Cindy Lemm questioned Mr. Ruff when the property would be sold from Ruff Auto to him. Randy indicated that as soon as the conditional use permit was approved, the land transaction would take place. Mr. Harold Pittman indicated that the planning Commission members should vote in favor of the conditional use request to allow a cold storage building to be built in a PZM (performance zone mixed) zone. 2 . . . planning Commission Minutes - 10/4/88 With no further input from the Planning Commission members, motion was made by Mori Malone, seconded by Cindy Lemm, to approve the conditional use request to allow a cold storage building to be built in a PZM (performance zone mixed) zone. Motion carried unanimously. 7. Public Hearing - A conditional use request to allow minor auto repair in a B-3 (highway business) zone. Applicant, Dale poganski. Mr. Dale poganski was present to propose his conditional use request to allow minor auto repair in a B-3 (highway business) zone. Mr. poganski is proposing to construct a pole-tyPe metal sided auto repair business building. The location of the proposed business building would be adjacent immediately north of the existing General Rental business property. With no further input from the public, Chairperson Richard Carlson then opened the meeting for input from the Planning Commission members. Mr. Dan MCConnon questioned if the applicant was aware of the site plan which was enclosed which entailed all of the minimum building requirements. Mr. Poganski countered that he had not seen the enclosed site plan. Mr. Gary Anderson, City Zoning Administrator, indicated that the enclosed site plan merely showed the location of the building to meet the minimum setbacks and all of the minimum off-street parking that would be required. Mr. Harold Pittman commented that this was a good use of the property and that we should welcome new business into the City of Monticello. Mr. Jeff O'Neill questioned Mr. Poganski if he was familiar with all of the conditions which are attached to the conditional use request to allow minor auto repair in a B-3 (highway business) zone. Mr. poganski indicated that the Zoning Administrator had sent him all the minimum requirements and that he was familiar with them and would adhere to those requirements. Mr. poganski also indicated to Planning Commission members that he had not purchased the property yet, but he wanted to make sure that if he did purchase the property, the building could be built for this use when he came to apply for a building permit. Mr. Richard Carlson indicated that this particular business use would be conducive to the existing business which exists to the south of this property tOday, the General Rental business. Mr. Dan MCConnon questioned in looking at the site plan it would show a different type of front on the building which fronts Highway 25 but questioned whether or not there should be something on the rear also which would front a public right-of-way if the new building type zoning ordinance amendment is adopted. Zoning Administrator Anderson indicated to Mr. MCConnon that Mr. Poganski is aware of the break up of the metal siding, as he would have to use a different type of siding on a portion of the building which would front a major highway or a public right-of-way. With no further input from the planning Commission members, a motion was made by Cindy Lemm, seconded by Richard Martie, to approve the conditional use request to allow minor auto repair in a B-3 (highway business) zone. Motion carried unanimously. 3 . . . Planning commission Minutes - 10/4/BB B. Public Hearing - A variance request to allow 1) less than the minimum usable open space; 2) less than the minimum front yard setback requirement; 3) less than the minimum parking space size; 4) less than the minimum driving aisle width; and 5) less than the minimum number of parking spaces required. Applicant, Metcalf & Larson. Mr. Jim Metcalf was present to propose a variance request to allow a 2B-unit elderly subsidized housing project to be constructed on this site with the above variances needed to locate this building on this site. Chairperson Richard Carlson then opened the meeting for any input from the public. Mr. Pat Townsend questioned if the alley behind the existing businesses within this block wasn't a fire lane, it should be a through lane from Walnut street to Locust street. Mr. Bud Schrupp indicated that with his business, the alley would be needed to be opened all the way through to accommodate semi-truck tractors which unload goods at his carpet store and to allow them to get back out of this alley without having to back up onto a public street from this alley. Mr. Metcalf reiterated that one could call this an alley but it is not an alley; it is private property even though it has been used for many years as an alley for the public. Mr. Stan Douglas indicated that the use has always been a public alley and it should remain so. Mr. Schrupp reiterated how hard it is to enter into this property let alone having to back out of it with a semi-truck tractor. Mr. Scott Douglas indicated that the use of this alley does receive considerable use, and it is not a very limited use for the majority of the property owners which utilize this alley or private property. zoning Administrator, Gary Anderson, indicated that the Topel's were unwilling to sell their unsightly looking storage building which is located to the rear of their property to accommodate the alley relocation to the rear of these private properties. Ollie Koropchak, Economic Development Director, was present and indicated that she had done a study with the property owners of which the affected business properties were notified of some proposed improvements that could be done as part of this elderly project. Questions centered around the process of seeing if a different alignment could be done or using the existing alignment as presented by Mr. Metcalf to open up the flow of traffic through this alley portion of the business private properties. Mr. Jeff O'Neill commented that the node or the parking island could be removed to allow the travel portion to be opened up to allow semi-truck trailer movement. Mr. Jim Metcalf indicated that he had received no contacts from the Topels in regards to the Topel's indication that they would like to see the alley closed off in its entirety. Mr. Harold pittman indicated that he felt the Topel building should be condemned, that it is an unsightly building and hazardous building. Chairperson Richard Carlson indicated to Mr. Pittman that the City does not make it a practice to go out and condemn private buildings for public use. Mr. Pittman reiterated that he felt the relocation of this building would open up the alley to a much better open type use. Mr. Jeff O'Neill reiterated the rationale for the hardship with the variance requests and 4 Planning Commission Minutes - 10/4/88 . that the City willingly knew that to get a project in here with the limited site area of the downtown business sites for land use that it would require some tyPe of variance request to get this elderly project on this site. . Mr. Richard Carlson then closed the public hearing and opened the meeting for input from the Planning Commission members. Mori Malone questioned Mr. Metcalf if he could purchase the Topel's building. Mr. Metcalf indicated no, that the City purchased the Ford property and the HRA has optioned the Stelton, O'Connor, and Jones properties. And it is up to the City to negotiate to purchase any additional property if they so felt they needed. Mr. Richard Carlson indicated to the public that they should understand just where the City stands on this alley situation, and that it is private property and they should deal with their private property for the use of it as a collective unit of business property owners. Mr. Harold Pittman questioned why the City is purchasing property on which we are currently receiving taxes and replacing them with an apartment building on which we will see a lesser amount of tax. Jeff O'Neill indicated that tax increment financing is only a tool to exchange business places with the apartment buildings. Mr. Richard Carlson reiterated that at previous Planning Commission meetings consideration was given at that time whether the use of the property was better for an apartment or for a business tyPe of use. Mr. Dan McConnon questioned whether or not there could be any variance reductions by any other tyPe of placement of this building on this site. Zoning Administrator, Gary Anderson, indicated that no other possible relocations of this had been done but would only eliminate one variance and gain another. Chairperson Richard Carlson then read a letter from Mr. Keith Kjellberg opposing the City's purchasing of existing vacant business buildings and replacing them with apartment buildings. Mr. McConnon questioned Mr. Metcalf if he had any problems with losing one parking space to relocate the island delineator for the alley. Mr. Metcalf indicated he saw no problems with the elimination of one parking space if that's what the planning Commission members chose. With no further input from the Planning Commission members, motion by Richard Martie, seconded by Dan McConnon, to approve the variance request to allow less than the minimum usable open space. Motion carried unanimously. Motion by Mori Malone, seconded by Dan McConnon, to approve the variance request to allow a building to be placed within the minimum front yard setback requirement. Motion carried unanimously. Motion by Cindy Lemm, seconded by Mori Malone, to approve the variance request to allow a parking lot to be constructed with less than the minimum parking space size. Motion carried unanimously. . 5 planning Commission Minutes - 10/4/88 . Motion by Dan MCConnon, seconded by Richard Martie, to approve the variance request to allow less than the minimum number of parking spaces as required by ordinance. Motion carried unanimously. 9. Public Hearing - A preliminary plat request for proposed new residential subdivision plat. Applicant, Tom Holthaus. Tom Holthaus was present to propose his preliminary plat request for a proposed new residential subdivision plat. Mr. Holthaus indicated that what he would like to do is to be able to sell off the existing house on this unplatted residential tract of land to create a separate tract of land which would be a recorded tract of land which would be left in the form of an outlot on which to develop at some point in time in the future. Mr. Harold Pittman indicated that he felt the preliminary plat should be approved for this request. . Chairperson Richard Carlson then closed the public hearing and opened the meeting for comments from the Planning Commission members. Mr. Dan MCConnon questioned the use of the existing driveway to serve this residence in that this would be onto the outlot portion of this proposed subdivision plat. zoning Administrator, Gary Anderson, indicated to Mr. MCConnon that the gravel portion of this driveway was used to accommodate ingress and egress into this property. Once this is recorded this driveway would be vacated, and the old trail or driveway would come in from the north and proceed southeasterly into the back of this existing residence. with no further input from the Planning Commission members, motion by Cindy Lemm, seconded by Dan Mcconnon, to approve the preliminary plat request for a proposed new residential subdivision plat. Motion carried unanimously. 10. Public Hearing - A replatting request to replat an existing unplatted lot into eight townhouse lots and one common area lot. Applicant, Floyd Markling. Mr. Jim Metcalf was present to propose a replatting request to replat an existing unplatted lot into eight townhouse lots and one common area lot. With no input from the public, Chairperson Richard Carlson then opened the meeting for input from the Planning Commission members. Mori Malone questioned if this was the same plat that was presented before them in the rezoning request. zoning Administrator, Gary Anderson, indicated to Ms. Malone that this was the same plat which they had seen in the previous rezoning request. Mr. Harold Pittman indicated that he felt this replatting request should be approved. Chairperson Richard Carlson clarified the replatting request that basically it's back before them like it has been for other replatting requests of another applicant, Mr. Jay Miller, on his Colony by the Greens townhouse subdivision plats. . With no further input from the Planning Commission members, motion was made by Richard Martie, seconded by Dan McConnon, to approve the replatting request to replat an existing unplatted lot into eight townhouse lots and one common area lot. Motion carried unanimously. 6 . 11. . . planning Commission Minutes - 10/4/88 Public Hearing - A simple subdivision request to allow two residential lots to be split, with the two lots when subdivided would be less than the minimum lot square footage. Applicant, Dan Frie. Mr. Dan Frie was present to propose his simple subdivision request to allow two residential lots to be split, with the two lots when subdivided would be less than the minimum lot square footage as required by today's ordinance. Mr. Frie indicated that he has come back over one year later with basically the same request in that he is not requesting any variances at this time, but they have redone the proposed simple subdivision and that each of the lots as proposed would be less than the minimum lot square footage that was required when these lots were platted with that being 10,890 sq ft. He has also eliminated any variance request for an encroachment in the sideyard setback requirement. Mori Malone questioned as to what would happen with the existing garage on Parcel B. Mr. Frie indicated that prior to building permit application, the garage would be removed from parcel B in its entirety. Chairperson Richard Carlson then opened the meeting for any input from the pUblic. Mr. Harold pittman indicated he would recommend approval of the simple subdivision request. Mr. Marvin woolhouse indicated to planning Commission members when he purchased his property that the previous property owner had to purchase additional land area to meet the minimum city requirements. The City staff was not aware of the previous property owner having to purchase additional land area before he could purchase this property. Mr. Ken Link, an affected property owner across the street from this residence, questioned whether or not the property would have enough square footage as the existing two lots as platted would have. Mr. Richard Carlson then read letters that were received by the City staff, and they were as follows. The first one was from Mrs. Genevieve Weiman, 624 East Fourth street. She objected to another residence being built on this simple subdivided lot. The other letter was received from Mrs. Verla vork, 316 Ramsey Street. She indicated she was in opposition to another house being built on the simple subdivided lot. With no further input from the public, Chairperson Richard Carlson then closed the public hearing and opened the meeting for any input from the planning Commission members. Richard Carlson indicated whether or not there should be any conditions attached to this. Zoning Administrator Anderson indicated that there should be two conditions attached to this: 1) Prior to building permit application, the garage be removed from Parcel B1 and 2) Prior to building permit application, the addition be removed from the existing house. With no further input from the planning Commission members, motion by Dan McConnon, seconded by Cindy Lemm, to approve the simple subdivision request to allow two residential lots to be split, with the two lots when 7 . 12. . 13. . Planning Commission Minutes - 10/4/88 subdivided be less than the minimum lot square footage with two conditions as follows: 1) Prior to building permit application, the garage be removed from Parcel B; and 2) Prior to building permit application, the addition on the southerly side of the existing house be removed. Motion carried with Richard Martie objecting and Mori Malone abstaining. Public Hearing - A variance request to allow placement of an attached garage within the sideyard setback requirement. Applicant, David Tice. Mr. David Tice was present to propose building an attached garage within the sideyard setback requirement. With no input from the public, Chairperson Richard Carlson closed the public hearing and opened the meeting for any input from the planning Commission. Mr. Dan McConnon questioned the distance between the structures and if the proposed attached garage, when built, would encroach in any side lot line easements which we have on this property. Zoning Administrator, Gary Anderson, indicated that there would be 24 feet of separation between building structures where the minimum requirement by ordinance is 20 feet of separation, and there would be a I-foot separation from the proposed attached garage and would be right up to the easement line on the 6-foot drainage and utility easement on the side lot line. Mr. Harold Pittman indicated that he would recommend approval of the variance request. With no further input from the Planning Commission members, motion was made by Mori Malone, seconded by Richard Martie, to approve the variance request to allow placement of an attached garage within the sideyard setback requirement. Motion carried unanimously. Rationale for approval was that the developer had so placed the houses on the center of the lot that the maximum size garage that could be built on these would be an attached single car garage that would stay within the minimum sideyard setback requirement. Public Hearing - A variance request to allow no hard surfacing, curb, and gutter of a proposed parking lot. Applicant, J & K properties/Maus Foods. Mr. Jim Maus was present to propose the variance request to allow no hard surfacing, curb, or gutter of their existing employee parking lot. Mr. Maus indicated that they are looking at another area for existing off-street parking, are negotiating with another property owner now, and want consideration for no hard surfacing, curb, or gutter of this existing employee parking lot until some time next summer. Mr. Maus felt that by the granting of the variance it would allow them additional time to possibly negotiate with another property owner for spring construction on another property or the completion of the hard surfacing, curb, and gutter on this existing property with the employee parking lot on it right now. 8 . 14. . . Planning Commission Minutes - 10/4/88 Chairperson Richard Carlson then opened the meeting for any input from the public. Mr. Harold Pittman recommended that the variance be granted to Mr. Maus. Mr. Pat Townsend, representing some of the residents of the Cedar Crest apartment complex, indicated that some of the residents have no objections to Mr. Maus's variance request. Motion by Richard Martie, seconded by Cindy Lemrn, to approve the variance request to allow no hard surfacing, curb, or gutter of the proposed parking lot with the following conditions: 1) hard surfacing, curb, and gutter to be completed by no later than June 15, 1989; 2) a letter of credit be submitted to the City as soon as possible indicating that there are sufficient funds in a lending institution to accommodate completion of the hard surfacing, curb, and gutter by June 15, 1989; or money in the amount of 1-1/2 times the amount be submitted in a cashier's check to the City of Monticello to complete the parking lot if it is not completed by June 15, 1989. Motion carried unanimously. Public Hearing - A conditional use request to allow incineration or reduction of waste material in an 1-2 (heavy industrial) zone. Applicant, Arthur Fretag. Arthur Fretag was present to propose incineration of waste material within an 1-2 (heavy industrial) zone. Mori Malone questioned his experience and the disposal of the sharps (needles) and their plastic containers. Mr. Dan McConnon questioned if he had filled out an environmental impact statement. Mr. Fretag indicated that he doesn't have any formal experience in this particular tyPe of business but that he has background experience in different entities which revolve around this. The disposal of the sharps (or needles as they are also called) and the plastic containers are all through the incineration process. The residue or debris, which would be the ash, is what can be disposed of at the local landfills. Mr. Fretag did, however, indicate that he felt he didn't need to fill out an environmental impact statement. If he was required to do that, it would be a very expensive statement to have completed. The cost would run into the thousands of dollars. Mr. Jeff O'Neill indicated that in his conversations with Mr. Lou Chamberlin of the Pollution Control Agency, under its basic requirements, he would not be required to obtain a license from Pollution Control and that he would only be burning 300 lbs per hour, which is under the minimum licensure requirement of 1,000 lbs per hour. There are possible concerns that should be addressed with the amount of plastic that is burned. Mr. Fretag did indicate that he had answered all of the suggested City staff conditions. Ollie Koropchak indicated in her conversations with Barb Schwientek that they are allowed to continue to burn their disposable infectious waste materials at their hospital site. Mr. Pat Townsend indicated with the prevailing winds in the area, it would blow the smoke which is generated from this incineration plant directly over his building. Mr. Harold Pittman indicated that there is a 9 planning Commission Minutes - 10/4/88 . significant amount of infectious waste that is currently burned at the Monticello-Big Lake Community Hospital now. Mr. Dan Jackson indicated the perception of this business to prospective employees at his business would be devastating. He indicated the chances of his being successful in attracting good qualified candidates for positions that he may have at the Fingerhut corporation business would be quite restricted with this type of use nearby. . Mr. Townsend indicated to Planning commission members if they considered how devastating this would be to the existing businesses which are currently in the Oakwood Industrial Park. Mr. Rod Dragsten, part owner in the Silver FoX Inn, indicated the amount of an investment of $250,000 for an addition to his business, how it would relate to the investment that Mr. Fretag is proposing for his business, and how it would impact Mr. Dragsten's prospective future business with an infectious waste incineration plant very near his business. Mr. Townsend questioned the rationale for the permit and why there would not be a permit needed to burn under 1,000 1bs of waste per hour. For him just to dispose of automotive debris, he is required to get a permit from the pollution Control Agency, and it has to be disposed of at an approved site. He questioned whether or not any type of waste from this incineration plant could be disposed of in the local landfill, the Yonak Landfill. Ollie Koropchak indicated the Industrial Development committee was also very skeptical of Mr. Fretag's proposed use of a heavy industrial lot within the industrial park on this. They would not voice any type of approval to him until they had found some more information out about his infectious waste facility. Mr. Fretag indicated the boundary of his service area would be from Highway 2 to the north and Highway 212 to the south. Mr. Jackson responded that the Fingerhut Corporation itself does not burn any paper whatsoever. Harold Pittman recommended that the applicant's request be denied. Chairperson Richard Carlson then closed the public hearing and asked for comments from the planning Commission members. Mr. Richard Martie suggested that the City staff check with the Industrial Development Committee and other communities which Mr. Fretag had suggested have any size waste disposal burners within their communities. Mr. Dan McConnon indicated that definitely the PCA would be involved with this project, and he was quite sure Mr. Fretag would also have to do an Environmental Assessment Worksheet. Mori Malone indicated that the burning of this waste would be a definite concern of the public, and that the public should be involved in Mr. Fretag's request. . Motion by Dan McConnon, seconded by Richard Martie, to table the conditional use request to allow incineration or reduction of waste material in an 1-2 (heavy industrial) zone. Reason for tabling of the conditional use request: They feel that an Environmental Assessment Worksheet would have to be filed and that they would look at that as a requirement, and also that the surrounding communities be contacted 10 . . . Planning Commission Minutes - 10/4/88 where the infectious waste burners are in existence today to get their input on how things are working out with incineration in their communities. Motion carried with Cindy Lemm absent and Mori Malone opposing. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ITEMS 1. Consideration to approve Modification #3 for Tax Increment District #2. Ollie Koropchak indicated to planning Commission members the Tax Increment Financing District Modification Plan.
