proposed I94/Orchard Interchange and a temporary site (3-4 years) on the City's
sludge property. Xcel not excited about an AVR site to the north. The 90-day quick
take is not in process.. Herbst noted the city's appraisal at $2.2 million (assets) and the
AVR appraisal plus relocation at $8 million ($4.4 for land.). The City's appraisal
based on I-2 zone, no interchange and their appraisal based on commercial zone with
interchange. At a special meeting of the Council April 4, a motion to order the
interchange project at County Road 18/I-94 failed with the unknown of the AVR
relocation and Weinend and Ryan agreements not executed. The Council can re-
consider the item again at the April 11 Council meeting.

4. Mayor's City Update:
Mayor Herbst noted the ratio of townhomes to single family homes within the concept plan for
Heritage Group's 2,600 unit residential/mixed use/golf course development. Additionally, he
noted concerns with the plans to construct the 18-hole golf course over eight years with the
staged development of housing. The City remains interested in the YMCA property and staff
will prepare a letter outlining the public purpose for potential purchase of the property.
Heritage Group interested in a piece of the YMCA property. State and Federal Funds may be
available, city talking with County, looking at long term benefits of 1,200 acres. YMCA wants
dollars for other projects.
Council member Mayer informed the IDC of a conference he attended: Minnesota FiberFirst
sponsored by Springsted. With his expertise in technology and previous experience as an
employee of TDS, Koropchak asked Mayer of his interest to attend the conference. Both
agreed the ability to market the Monticello Business Center with fiber optic access would be a
unique asset. Mayer provided some history of local fiber optic service and proceeded talking
about the conference. The City of Windom's launched a fast Internet access through the $8.8

. million city-owned broadband network. Noting the use of Internet by the younger
generation and as a marketing tool for businesses, Lynne Dahl-Fleming made a motion
stating the IDC supports the concept to further explore the benefits and options to

Council to approve further research. Seconded by Mike Benedetto and with no further

10. Public Hearing Consideration of a request to amend the City of Monticello Zonin
Ordinance relating to the regulation of Open and Outdoor Storage. -Don Roberts, Sunny
Fresh, had not received a copy of the amendment as prepared by the City Planner Consultant
or Attorney. Mary Barger was unable to attend the last meeting and also did not received a
copy. With the business representatives who attended the original meetings not mailed a copy
of the final draft for consideration, Koropchak indicated she'd check with the Community
Development Department to see if copies were mailed. If not, would recommend the Planning
Commission open and continue the public hearing until May to allow disbursement of the final
draft of the proposed amendment.
Other Business:
A. Chamber Chair Struckness noted the Chamber would host a Bus Tour of the City on April
21 and Jeff O'Neill would give an update on community development projects. The Gulf
Battery Parade will be held Saturday, Apri130, and donation are being accepted to purchase

MEMO
TO: Members of the Monticello Ad Hoc Committee on Open and Outdoor
Storage and Industrial Business Owner/Operators
FROM: City of Monticello Community Development/Planning
RE: Proposed Open and Outdoor Storage Amendment
Please find enclosed a copy of the staff report/recommendation and proposed ordinance
amendment relating to Open and Outdoor Storage. The ad hoc committee previously
reviewed suggested concepts and provided input, from which the proposed ordinance was
developed.
The ordinance amendment item had originally been slated for public hearing by the
Monticello Planning Commission on April Sty', 2005. However, the ad hoc committee has
not had an opportunity to review the proposed ordinance prior to Planning Commission

committee at this time. Staff will recommend tabling of any action on this item to the
May meeting of the Planning Commission.
If you would like to comment on the staff report and/or the proposed ordinance, please
direct written or verbal comment to Assistant City Administrator/Community
Development Director Jeff O'Neill at 763-271-3215 or Jeff.oneill(uci.monticello.mn.us.
Comments are requested by April 15t~', 2005.

decision to your business.

Public Hearing• Consideration of a request for an amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance re~ulatin~ open and outdoor storage. Applicant: City of Monticello.
(NAC)
REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND
The City has been working on an amendment to the regulation of outdoor storage. A task
force was established that included several property owners in the industrial park, as well
as City officials. The attached ordinance draft is the outcome of that work.
This memo is intended. to summarize comments of the Task Force from its joint meeting
in January, and present an ordinance reflecting their discussion. The City has three
industrial districts - I-2, Heavy Industrial; I-1, Light Industrial; and I-lA, Light
Industrial. The I-2 District is intended to provide for those industrial activities that may
need the most separation from other types of land uses or public exposure. The I-lA
District is at the other end of the scale, with special requirements for building materials as
well as additional requirements for site planning. The I-1 District sits in between the two,
with the lower intensity uses but without the extra building and site standards.
Although the discussion at the Task Force meeting was more general in nature, there was
some acknowledgement that the different districts justified differential treatment of
outdoor storage. The draft ordinance utilized a framework for a new ordinance
addressing this issue which addresses the differences in the purposes for each industrial
district.
The proposed regulations are relaxed for the I-2 District, including an allowance of
outdoor storage as a permitted. accessory use, avoiding the requirement for a CUP review.
For the I-1 District, the regulations are relaxed in terms of interior setbacks, but a
maximum of 50% of lot area has been suggested for this District. For the I-lA District,
the regulations are much more strict, including a limitation of 20% of the building size.
This regulation is intended to allow limited storage (such as that recently approved for
Twin City Die Casting), but focuses on the I-lA District's objective of a higher standard
for building design and site planning.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Decision 1: Zoning Amendment regulating open and outdoor storage.
1. Motion to recommend approval of the amendment, based on a finding that the
amendment better reflects the City's industrial zoning needs, and economic
development philosophy.
r~
2. Motion to recommend denial of the amendment, based on a finding that the
proposed amendment is inconsistent with the City's industrial development
needs.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance, based on the recommendation of the Task
Force.
