Approval of the minutes of the regular Planning Commission meeting held Monday, December 7th. 2004. . MOTION BY COMMISSIONER CARLSON TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF MONDA Y, DECEMBER 7rII, 2004. MOTION SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SPARTZ. MOTION CARRIED. 3. Consideration of adding items to the agenda. NONE. 4. Citizen comments. NONE. 5. Public Hearing - Consideration of a relluest for rezoning from A-a (Agricultural- Open Space) to R-l (Single-Family Residential) and a request for Preliminary Plat for Club West, an approximately 5 acre, 12-unit residential development. Applicant: Back Nine, LLC Grittman reviewed the stalT report, descri bi ng the location of the property and access point ofT of County 75. Grittman stated that the Monticello School District is selling the property and had developed a set of development criteria nJr the purchaser. . Grittman noted that the current zoning f()r the site appears to be A-O (Agricultural-Open Space), although there is some concern that it may have been previously rezoned. The City Clerk could find no record of rezoning for this parcel. The public hearing notice was issued to ensure that the parcel is properly and o1licially zoned. . Planning Commission Agenda 08/03/04 Grittman indieated that all proposed lots meet the R-l zoning standard for width and area. The applicants arc also proposing a set of covenants, which are very similar in nature to Hillside Farm, an R-I A district. Grittman reported that although the first lot in the cul-de-sac mects the zoning standard, it was noted that due to public street frontage, the setbacks for the lot impact the buildable area for the lot. Grittman rccommended that the applicant shift other lot lines to help increase the size of the building area for that lot. The other significant staff comment is relative to the drainagc issues along the railroad line. It is assumcd that the storm water drainage will eventually move to Otter Creek along the railroad ditch. There are concerns about how this will be accomplished. The City Engineer will be reviewing that issue in detail on construction documents. Grittman stated that staff is recommending approval of both the rezoning and thc preliminary plat, su~ject to the conditions outlined in Exhibit Z. . Chairman Frie noted that the City map seems to indicate that the property is zoned R-l and R-2. As such, Frie asked if the rezoning requcst was made by the applicant or required by the City. Grittman clarified that the rezone was necessary in order to meet the requirements for public notice and to provide clarity on the zoning. Chairman Frie opened the public hearing. Zach Adams addressed the Commission as a partner of the development firm, Back Nine, LLC. Adams stated that although they are not seeking an R-I A zoning designation, they will seek to excced thc R-l standards due to the unique nature of the site. Adams indicated that the pricc range for the homes was estimated to be $325,000 _ $500,000. Frie asked Adams if the access off West Broadway (County 75) had been approved by Wright County. Chris Otterness of Bogart Pederson, project engineers, indicated that he had spoken with the County Engineer, who indicated thcre should bc no serious issuc with thc entry. Thc County Enginecr did request a left bypass lane for feasibility. Otterness noted that Wright County is currently in thc proccss of reviewing the plat. Frie asked ifthcre is an alternate plan, should the access point bc denied. Otterncss stated that there is no other possible access to the site. Fric asked ifall of the developing partners, as well as thc engineer, are lamiliar with the conditions of Exhibit Z. Adams stated that they had receivcd the report and intend to meet the conditions. . - 2 - . Planning Commission Agenda 08/03/04 Dragsten asked if the area is zoned R -I, can the Commission regulate that R -I A dwelling standards be applied. O'Neill stated that due to it being zoned and guided for R-l, Commission would need to review it for those standards, unless the Commission seeks to zone it differently. Dragsten's concern isin the past is that developers have stated that they would put in high-end homes and then haven't produced that type of development. O'Neill stated that the Commission would need to zone the site R-IA and then do a PUD to create R-l lots with R-l A homes. Grittman confirmed the only way for the City to regulate R-IA standards for this proposed plat is through the PlJD process. Adams stated that the land value alone would require that the homes meet the stated price range and intended product. Dragsten replied that he doesn't doubt the intent, but that he is looking for more of a guarantee, if possible. Carlson commented that in other communities, he has seen demand for smaller lots with larger, higher-end homes. Carlson asked if the group is marketing the lots to a particular builder. Adams stated that they wi II have an exclusive set of builders. . Posusta asked for the proposed sale value of the lots. Adams projected the range to be around $100,000, although he can't set a definite price at this time. Posusta noted that he has the same concerns as Commissioner Dragsten. Adams restated that their intent is to follow the covenants. He explained that as the developers, they are also entering the project with the understanding that the lots will take time to sell. Pearl Carlson, 1226 Prairie Creek Lane, addressed the Commission, stating that her property borders the playground of the school. Carlson inquired where the west line of the plat is, as she is concerned that it may encroach onto her property. Otterness and John Adams, Back Nine, LLC, explained that the Prairic West developmcnt had actually sodded onto their property. Dragsten clarified for Ms. Carlson that white stakes marking a certified survey of the plat will delineate where the property lines begin and end. Ililgart noted that no representative from the School District, as the property seller, was present. I Iilgart inquired about the timeline for implementing a PUD process for this plat. Grittman stated that it would be another 60-90 day process and would require a comprehensive plan amendment. Frie noted that the School District had met with Back Nine prior to the land sale and they arc in apparent agreement with what is being proposed. Hearing no further comments, Chairman Frie closed the public hearing. . '.l - I") - .

The Commissioners engaged in a brief discussion on whether Carlson would be able to continue to serve. Carlson stated that his service could only be on a month-to-month basis, due to travel. Dragsten and Posusta recommended that Carlson stay until a replaccment is found. O'Neill referrcd to the list of previously interviewed candidates and then indicated that the publie notice process could includc a notice to those candidates. Frie noted that those on othcr Boards or Commissions might also be intcrested in serving on the Planning Commission.

In responsc to the discussion, Hilgmi asked if the Commission should revicw the R-IA standards. Grittman stated that it is always appropriatc to look at the ordinance to see if it will be utilized properly. Grittman refcrred to the market answcring the need for high- quality housing stock, indicating that the dcveloper's rapid pace is not a reason to relax ordinance standards. Grittman stated that the Commission may seek to address specific issues within the ordinance. I lilgart stated split-entry style homes were his primary concern I()r R-I ^ areas. Hilgart suggested that issue might bcst be addresscd by reviewing thc proposed ic)()tprint of the homes. Fric asked if instcad of adjusting ordinance standards, if thc Commission can deny approving a style of home. Grittman stated that is possible only under PUD conditions, - :1 - . Planning Commission Agenda 08/03/04 but regulation of housing styled can be completed consistently through the ordinance. Frie asked Hilgart to clarify why he would recommend allowing no splits in an R-IA district. Hilgart stated that it related to the quality of the homes in the R-I A area. HIlgart agreed that housing styles should be addressed through the ordinance. Dragsten asked whether thc Commission should also look at an upgrade to the R-l standards. Carlson indicated that discussion may be needed in response to the demand to put higher-end homcs on smaller lots. Grittman stated that to require large homes on small lots, the Commission may seck to create a new zoning district. Grittman stated that it is important that the arcas with high-end amenities are preserved for true R-IA housing. Spartz explained that f()r example, he is comfortable with the development that was approved this evening, however, he would like the Commission to have the tools to deal with regulating high-end developments at a later time. Frie asked what role the township plays in the planning process in relationship to the new annexation agreement. O'Neill stated that the township is notified of pending annexations in the new OAA, but does not have planning authority in those areas.

Planning Commission Agenda - 02/01/05 5. Public "carinI!: Consideration of a reQuest for a Concept Stal!e PUD for Monticello-nil! Lake Community Hospital. Applicant: Monticello nil! Lake Community Hospital District. (NAC) REFERENCEANDHACKGROUND The Monticello-Big Lake Hospital District is proposing an expansion of their facilities and grounds by way of PUD to be phased over time. The first step in reviewing a PUO is to consider the entire site concept plan. The concept plan review is designed to alert the applicant to issues which may alTect the general layout of the project, which may include zoning issues which ailect adjacent parcels and landowners. This PUD project lies within the PZM zoning district which allows mixed uses including hospitals, medical and dental clinics, nursing homes and senior housing. Thus, the majority of the issues that arise with this proposed project have to do with the impacts on the adjoining properties. The proposed project will incorporate several phases, the first of which will include a new clinic building as services expand and additional physicians are needed. The proposed clinic building is a three-story office building of 68,000 square feet which will house the Monticello Clinic and Specialty Services. Also a part of Phase I is a new ambulance garage and EMS Quarters on the western edge of the Site as well as additional parking to accommodate the building expansions. As a part of the concept PUD request, the applicant is applying for approval of the 3-story clinic building, a 6-story hospital building and a 2-story parking structure. 'I'he PZM District allows for 3-story buildings contingent upon the installation of fire extinguishing systems throughout the building. Additionally, the applicant is requesting that the parking stalls be a minimum of 18 feet by 9 feet as opposed to the parking space standard of not less than nine feet wide and twenty feet in length per Section 3-5[0]9(a). The applicant is also requesting that the final portion of Hart Boulevard and Dayton Street be vacated. One of the most significant issues the proposed Site Plan raises is the potential impacts on adjacent property owners, namely the three single family home owners who currently live in between the existing hospital building and the parking lot to the west. It is important that the interests of these properties owners are protected and that all appropriate zoning practices are enforced (i.e., bufferyards and screening). The general requirements of a PUD as stated in Section 20-2[ ^] rcquire the application to be filled jointly by all landowners of property that is included in thc project. All submissions must refer to the development of the propcl1y as a unified whole and the final approval is binding on all included owners. Planning Commission Agenda - 02/01/05 . As proposed, the first phase of the hospital expansion will involve the construction of a 3-story medical office bui Iding directly to the east of the existing single family homes, while directly to the west of these single family homes the applicant proposes to expand the existing parking facilities and construct a retaining wall to allow for two-level parking. Of particular concern is the visual impacts and additional traffic generation these expansions will have on the cxisting homeowners. Access to the Site will change with the Dayton Street entrances off Broadway Boulevard to thc south of the Site and River Street to the north of the Site, as the applicant is requesting that this portion of Dayton Street be vacatcd as a part of the PUD. The permanent access will now be via Washington Street. In the long term, this is the best option from a traffic standpoint, as Washington is programmed fix a futurc signal location, and will connect with Fallon Avcnue over the freeway. However, in the short term, the applicant will need to address impacts oftrafJic in the neighborhood, and the avoidance oftraHic along River Street. . The future parking deck would havc access to the upper level from the Highway 75 side only, and the lower level would access from River Street only. There would be no intcrnal access between the two levels of the deck. Staff has discussed the possibility of access to mitigate the necd for traffic to use River Street. However, this plan reduces the parking supply significantly, and defeats the ability to rcly on Washington Strect for traffic control. Instead, sign age and intersection design will need to be managed to protect thc River Street neighborhood f[om conccrns over non-local traffic. The location of parking lots in regards to their proximity to the buildings they serve may also constitutc a problem. The large parking arcas are not located near to the main entrance of the hospital or the proposed medical office building. It should be suggested that the applicant construct a pedestrian walkway through the center of the large parking area to safely dircct patrons to the medical buildings through thc parking lot(s). Pedestrian access has been an issue previously with the parking lot design. This aspect should be reviewed carcfully to avoid thc need ie)!' large numbers of employees and patients walking in the drive aisles, particularly during winter snow season. In addition, the applicants should be careful to design the parking lot lighting to avoid glare onto the adjacent roadways, as well as the adjacent park and houses. A lighting plan should be developed that demonstrates consideration for this issue. . 2 Planning Commission Agenda - 02/01/05 . ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS Decision]: PU [) Concept Plan 1. Motion to reeommcnd approval of the application for a PUD Concept Plan with thc comments listed in Exhibit Z and based upon the findings that thc proposal would comply with the City's Comprehensive Plan and long-tcrm developmcnt goals for the area. 2. Motion to recommend denial of the PUD Concept Plan based up on thc findings that the application does not comply with the goals set forth by the Comprehensive Plan. 3. Motion to table the application to permit further City rcview and refinement of the proposcd plans. STAFF RECOMMENDATION . Staff rccommends approval of the pu~ Concept Plan contingent upon the comments in this rcport and as summarized in thc attached Exhibit Z. Specific concerns relate to the treatment of the existing homeowners adjacent to the hospital property and specifically, how they will be impacted by and screened from the proposed expansion.

No further vacation of Hart Boulevard can occur without this clement of the project. 6. Landscaping treatment within the parking field to minimize the large asphalt expanse. . . 4 . .' . Planning Commission Agenda - 2/01/04 6. Consideration of a request to review a commercial site plan for conformance to a previously approved Development Stage PUll and Preliminary Plat for the Monticello Travel Center. (.JO) REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND Mielke Bros, LLC have requested a review of a proposed revision to the originally approved Development Stage pun for the Monticello Travel Center. This review is in ordcr to detcrmine consistency with the original approval, granted in April of 200 1. Recently, the Commission had recommended the approval of a new Concept Stage PUD which included the Monticello Travel Center property, as well as the parcel to the north. It is staff's understanding that the Concept Stage proposal is now on hold as Mr. Mielke would like to follow a plan similar to the April 2001 PUD. Thc rcviscd plan prcscntcd reflects only the Monticello Travel Center parccl. The primary purpose of the revision is to allow the development of a proposed DQ Gri II and Chill restaurant, marked as number "1" on thc rcvised plan, independent of the developmcnt of the rest of the PUD. It should bc notcd that in terms of parcel alignment, the property lincs shown on the revised plan are not proposed to vary from the originally approved preliminary and final plat for the Development Stage PUD. The final plat already recorded will not need to change as a result of the proposed modifications to the original plan. Additionally, public utility systems and associated easements are unaffected. Access points to roadways also remain the same as originally proposed. There are four major difTerences between the original pun and the revision. First, the rcvised PUD plan shows Parcels A and B as "Outlots", and does not show a site plan for each of these lots. The previously approved PUD idcntified uses on each of the parcels, which illustrated the relationship between each parcel. These uses included a convenience store with pump islands and adjacent retail on Parcel B (the southerly "Outlot") and a restaurant on Parcel A (thc northerly "Outlot"). As Commission is aware, the identification of uses on a PUD is important in relationship to parking requirements and site circulation considerations. The second change illustrated is a proposcd lease facility on Parcel D, shown as number "]" on thc rcviscd plan. This lease building replaces the originally proposed car wash. Third, the revised plan shows no parking field adjacent to the existing Subway. The original PUD showed a large parking ficld between parcels A and E, which would serve uses on both lots. Planning Commission Agenda - 2/0 1/04 . Lastly, the revision shows a significant change to the drive aisle that was to be continuous along the west edge of parcels A and B. The drive aisles are now split between a drive aisle along the western edge of parcel B, where it would "T" and move east to Cedar Street, or continue west to intersect with a new "possible futurc drive" between parccls A and F. The developer has indicated that the shift in the drive aisles is to accommodate the possible progress ofa plan for the north side of the property similar to thc recently proposed Conccpt Stage PlJD. That plan illustrated a central drive aisle bisecting the entire property from north to south. Overall, what is shown on the revised plan appcars to be relatively consistcnt with thc approved DevcIopment Stage PUD. However, the revised plan docs raise issues related to parking and site circulation. A parking deficiency remains for the existing Subway. The Developmcnt Stage PUD plan acknowledged thc existing parking deficicncy and accommodated an increase to mcet parking requiremcnts by creating the large parking field adjacent to Subway to the east. The revision, although still potentially allowing the creation of a similar field, separates the parking lot lrom Subway by thc suggested "future drive". If it is the applicant's intent to move forward with development on the Outlots (Parcel A and B) as previously intended, the applicant would need to address how the deficiency would be accommodated in the presence ofthc proposed drive aisle separation. . There is adequate parking shown for the proposed leasc space and the existing UltraLube facility. The parking fields shown for the proposed restaurant on Parcel C, number "I" on the revision plan, are also adequate. Thc "possiblc future drivc" shown on thc revision plan does create concern about potential tralTic conflicts. As through traffic moves to thc intersection of the future drive and east-west drive aisle, vehicles are forced to makc a right or left turn. As such, the through traffic would come into direct contact with backing traffic from the parking field adjacent to the proposcdlease spacc. As a significant amount of traffic could be cxpected on this future drivc with the development ofthc adjacent northern parccl, this is an area of concern in terms of traffic safety and site circulation. The dcveloper has indicated that other than thc rcvisions as notcd, they intcnd to comply with the terms of the original PUD for landscaping, signagc, lighting, etc. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS I. Motion to find that the revised plan is consistent with the previously approved Development Stage PUD plan with the changes as noted, and to recommend that the plan proceed to final stage approval of the DQ Grill and Chill development site, subject to the conditions listed in Exhibit Z. . 2 Planning Commission Agenda - 2/01/04 . 2. Motion to find that the revised plan in not consistent with the previously approved PUD, and to recommend that the developer request a new public hearing for an amendment to the original Development Stage PUO. 3. Motion of other. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending alternative number 1 above. Staff believes that the revised PU J) is relatively consistent with the original PU D for the portion of the parcel that rel1ects a development plan. Recognition of this plan with the original PUO will expedite the processing of the Grill and Chill's final stage application. . Staff would recommend the elimination of the "possible future drive" until the time that a development plan comes forward for the north property. This recommendation is due to the concerns about required parking for Subway and possible traffic/parking conl1icts created at thc intersection of the two drive aisles. It is stafT's opinion that the drive is not needed for circulation on the sitc (as it was not included in the original PUD), nor is it needed for the proposed restaurant at location" 1" to develop at this time. Additionally, as the type of development on the two "Outlots" remains unclear at this time, it may be better for the developer to leave drive aisle options open. It is also statTs recommendation that any future revisions which vary from the original PUD move through a fcmnal amendment to PUD and public hearing process. This is critical for any departures in uses or site layouts Lrom the original PUD, but also important should the developer choose to meld elements of the Development Stage PUD and Concept Stage PUD together. While staff recognize the intent to cooperate between the two propcrties and the possible creation of a unified site, it is important that the City follow the process outlined in the PUD ordinance and that neighhoring property owners are aware of site changes.

Consideration of a request for buildine and landscape plan review for Monticello Retail Center as a part of the Development Staee pun approval. Applicant: Rvan Companies. (NAC) REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND Ryan Companies have submitted plans illustrating building architecture and site plan details for Target and Home Depot. Planning staff offers the following comments: Building Comments. 1. The rear (north fayade) of the Target building has been enhanced with the addition of a series of projected wall panels, and includes a variety of colors and striping to add interest to this highly exposed portion of the building. Because of this exposure, the City has encouraged the developer to address the aesthetics of this walL The changes are considered positive. The only unadressed item that staff has discussed is the addition of a wall sign on the north exposure to add identification of the building as a retail, rather than industrial, facility, 2. The side walls of the Target building have also been enhanced in the same way, together with a red stripe integrated into the block pattern. 3. The front wall of the Target huilding includes a relatively contemporary design, with a sleek appearance. The building includes two semi-circular covered entrances, and an arbor area that extends forward with tree plantings and several variations in the line of the front waiL As with the back and sides, the front of the huilding includes a variety of colors of rock-face block that add variety to the look of the building. Different wall planes utilize different colors, emphasizing the variation. The aesthetics of the front fayade appear to meet the City's request for a varied and attractive building design. 4. The Home Depot Building is constructed of a combination of Elf'S (a prefinished panel with the texture of stucco) at the top of the building line, and prefabricated concrete panels below, with a rock-face block imprint to simulate the look of block. As is common with Home Depot, a double orange stripe surrounds the building. 5. The front wall of the Home Depot steps up the roofline to the highest level over the main entrance. A series of higher wall panels capped by a metal cornice in a darker color flank both of the entrances. This plan provides a reasonable upgrade from the more basic building design. Planning Commission Agenda ...~ 2/0 1/05 . 6. The rear wall of the Home Depot includes a scries of similar dark-colored wall panels that are flush with the building, but ref1ect the front wall design in color and mass. The applicant also has includcd the colored striping and a wall sign along the rear wall to identify the building as a retail facility. 7. The fencing that is used to enclose the Garden Center is black vinyl coated mesh and chain link, an acceptable upgrade from galvanized steel. 8. The dock doors facing the 81. Benedicts' residential facility have been painted a dark brown to match the building color, rather than orangc. In summary, thc building design would appear to meet the City's request for an upgraded exterior fayade. Site Plan and Landscaping Comments. 1. The front of the Target building includes a variety of paving colors in the entrance areas, as well as tree planting and the arbor noted above, to create a softer entrance view. . 2. The front of the Home Depot building includes a scored concrete walk area that distinguishes the display area from the pedestrian walkway. 3. The front of the Home Depot building does not show the landscaping plantcr areas that staff has discussed with the applicants. However, these planters are mentioned in the application letter submitted with thc materials. Planning staff believes that this is an important element to both soften and shade the south-facing building. 4. The landscaping plan appears to be reasonably well dcsigned, and exceeds the City's minimum planting requirements by a substantial amount. The plan including an intensified landscape screen area in the front where Home Depot will park a rental vehicle when not in use. 5. The landscaping includes a berm and thickly planted border along the north property line that should filter thc vicw of the rear building walls and service areas of the complex from Highway 75 to the north. . 6. The most important screening area is along the common boundary with the St. Benedicts property in the northwest corner of the site. The plan shows an 8 foot high solid fence and a single row of cvergrcen trees on the S1. Bencdicts' side ofthe fence, with the intention that this screen will buffer the residential use from the loading area. Planning statTwould recommend that the trees in this area be planted at an initial height of at 2 Planning Commission Agenda - 2/01/05 . least S feet (rather than the 6 foot minimum specified in the zoning ordinance) to accelerate the screening effect ofthe vegetation. In addition, the trees are shown to be planted at about 15 feet on center. This dimension should be reduced to 12 feet on center, requiring the addition of about 3-4 trees in this area. Finally, an additional planting of trees on the St. Benedicts side of the property line would further intensify this screen if acceptable to the St. Benedicts' representatives. 7. The plans show a small plaza area within the "Outlot 0" portion of the project _ the far southeast corner of the site, south of ill Street. The plan shows a semi-circular planting area and sidewalk design that would include two benches and connect to the end of the City's pathway and pedestrian bridge to the south. The area is further enhanced with a berm behind the plaza. It would appear to be appropriate to consider a small planting of shrubs and trees on top of this berm to protect the plaza area from wind and frame the site. It is also noted that thc City Enginecr has some concerns about grade in this area, and the City will need to continue working with the developer on the final design for this plaza. 8. It is not clear from this set of plans if the parking lot lighting is being coordinated with parking lot cart storage, per previous staff recommendation. This item should be clarified as a part of the final review. . 9. The Homc Depot plans include the following elements: a. Seasonal Garden Center in the parking lot. b. Utility trailer and rental truck display in the parking lot. c. Tool rental and display near the cast side of thc store. d. Contained storage of material in the rear of the building for customer pick~up. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS Decision 1: Development Stage Planned Unit Development for Monticello Retail Center - building and site landscaping for Target and] lome Depot. 1. Motion to rccommend approval of the Developmcnt Stage PUD, based on a finding that the plans, with the conditions and recommendations listed in Exhibit Z, constitute an incrcased level of design and amcnities suHicient to qualify thc site for PUD approval. . 2. Motion to recommend denial of the Development Stagc PUD, based on a finding that the plans do not rise to the level or zoning ordinance requircmcnts for PU 0 design. OJ ., Planning Commission Agenda - 2/01/05 . ST AFF RECOMMENDATION Statl recommends approval with the comments in Exhibit Z. The applicants have satislied many of the comments offered by staff, and with the few remaining changes, the plans appear to mect the City's requircmcnts for pun approval. It is noted that this approval applics to the Target and Home Depot buildings, and the common landscaping areas around the property. The future phases of the project will still require a Development Stage PUD review prior to final approval and construction. SUPPORTING DATA A. Site Location Map B. Site Plan C.

Exhibit Z - Conditions of Approval for Development Stage pun - Monticello Retail Center (Ryan Companies Target and Home Depot) I. Consideration of the addition of a Target logo sign on the north side of the Target building visible to Highway 75. 2. The front walkway area of the Home Depot is to be improved with the addition of planter areas for tree planting. These planter areas may consist of movable planters if desired. 3. The landscape plan in the area adjacent to 81. Benedict's should be intensified hy requiring a minimum of 8 foot high evergreen trees at the time of planting, at no more than 12 feet on center. 4. The pedestrian plaza area on "Outlot D" should be enhanced with shrub and tree plantings on the included berm, and will require further review by staif due to concerns over grading in this area. Limits to grading affecting the plan will be further defined or limited by FHA standards. . . 5 7A W -..J <( U (f) 0 ~ (X) z ~ \0 ro ~ U I'-- (L z <( ~ ci 0 ::2: > u ~ 0.... .J ..J en <t >- 0 l......

Planning Commission Agenda - 02/01105 8. Consideration to approve a resolution (in din!! that a modification to the Redevelopment Plan for Central Monticello Redevelopment Proiect No.1 and the TIF Plan for TIF District No. 1-33 conform to the !!eneral plans for the development and redevelopment of the city -1324 Edmondson Avenue NE. (O.K.) A. Reference and backeround: The Planning Commission is asked to adopt the attached resolution stating it finds the proposed TIF District No. 1-33 Plan conforms with the general plans for development and redevelopment ofthe city as described in the comprehensive plan. Proposed TIF District No. 1-33, an Economic District, is being established to assist Tapper's Holdings LLC, the developer, and Strategic Equipment and Supply Corporation, the lessee, with site improvement costs associated with the construction of a 25,000 sq ft warehouse addition to the property located at 1324 Edmondson Avenue NE (previous H- Window.) This property lies within Oakwood Industrial Park and is zoned 1-2 (Heavy Industrial.) Grady Kinghorn, Kinghorn Associates, is the proposed general contractor. Tapper purchased the existing 60,000 sq ft H- Window facility last fall and relocated Westlund Distributing into the building occupying 42,000 sq ft of the warehouse space and 3,000 sq ft of the office space. The proposed tenant, Strategic Equipment and Supply Corporation, requires 40,000 sq ft. The tenant will lease 10,000 sq ft ofthe remaining warehouse space, 5,000 sq ft of the remaining office space, and the 25,000 sq ft addition. Strategic will commit to 40 new jobs for the City of Monticello (See attached job and wage levels.) The tenant needs to occupy the facility by no later than mid-June. The Contract for Private Development between Tapper's, Strategic, and the HRA states the development must comply with state, regional, and local ordinance, zoning, construction regulations to receive TIF assistance. For this agenda item, the Planning Commission is stating the TIF Plan for Economic District No. 1-33 conforms with the Comprehensive Plan: Land use and zoning. The City Council is scheduled to hold a public hearing and adopt the TIF Plan for District No. 1-33 on February 28, 2005. Based on the preliminary plans for the addition, it appears Tapper will need to apply for a CUP for the proposed loading berths on a corner lot. They have contacted the Planning Department for a pre-construction meeting and information for the February 7 application deadline date for the March Planning Commission cycle. According to the HRA Attorney Bubul, the attached resolution can legally be adopted prior to the CUP approval as the resolution finds the TIF Plan conforms with the development and redevelopment plans of the Comprehensive Plan.

Planning Commission Agenda 2/0 I /05 Consideration of Findine that City Sale of Land for School/Community Meetine Space Use is Consistent With the Downtown Redevelopment Plan. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND The City Attorney has indicated that the sale of approximately Y2 acre of land at the wcstern edge of the Community Center Site to Swan River Montessori School first requires that the City detcrmine whcther or not the sale for the proposed use is consistent with the comprchensive plan f()r the City. The Montessori School includes the existing church building as an assembly hall plus 6 classrooms housing a maximum 115 students. The assembly hall will be acccssible to all citizens for a variety of uses, including weddings, church use and mccting spacc. This space will be available for rcnt during week nights and weekends. During summer months, the facility will bc available at all times for public use. Scheduling for usc of the space will bc coordinated through Community Ccnter stafI. Attachcd you will find excerpts from thc comprehensive plan, which notc that the area on which thc school is located is guided for "Civic/Institutional" uses. In the plan, Civic/Institutional uses are listed as: municipal and county facilities (exccpt maintenance operations), public meeting spaces, community activity spaccs, educational facilities, churchcs, outdoor gathering spaces.

Thcrcfore, staff recommends alternative 1. SUPPORTING DATA A. B. Excerpts from Comprehensive Plan School/meeting space site plan "' . organized to create a sense of pieces fitting exactly together. The picture that results in a built downtown is one that is beautiful and one that functions well for the community. I1A DistrIcts Downtown Monticello will always be a mix of uses, ages and patterns, and the plan recognizes a series of districts formed around basic uses and character. Therefore, a building near the river will have a character different from a building near the interstate. A uniform building character across the entire downtown will never be achieved and would likely be undesirable for tenants and the community. Within districts, however, buildings would have a strong relationship to one another and a consistent relationship to the streets of the d istri ct. . ---- ~~~,~~"""'''''''l":,,!~,,,,:.~~:,^~:.,'' "~:.'" ,.".. . .
