Scheduled date of nett joint meeting of local elected officials and meeting of city officials to set X003 Council's Community Vision & Governine Policies. The followup meeting of the local elected officials is scheduled for Wednesday, June 18. 7:00 p.m. in the Mississippi Room. Round table discussions to identify opportunities for collaboration is the agenda. The Council will meet on Monday. July 14, x:00 p.m. to review goals submitted by commissions and set the 2003 Community Vision & Governing Policies. -1. Reports: A. Mini task force meeting on Osowski's land -Van Allen/Koropchak. Van Allen reported that Jeff, HRA Commissioner Dan Frie. Koropchak, and himself met M May 20. At the Llay meeting, O'Neill summarized work completed by the city engineer and staff stating the area can be served by extending the sanitary sewer and water trunk system. Yet to be determined is the cost and timing of the improvements. The proposed • IDC Minutes - 6/3/03 Orchard Road interchange is identified on IViNDOT's study. Funding the interchange would be similar to that proposed for I-9~1 and County 18. 90% local. Xcel's concerns are security and proposed chemical uses by industries. O'Neill sug;ested perhaps an IDC township resident attend Township planning sessions, now ongoing, to preserve the Osowski area for industrial. After driving the area, Van Allen noted the Osowski property has a high water table which is a detriment (adds cost) for industrial construction/development. Feaski did not agree as industrial buildings are generally on concrete slabs. Tapper said he would not build in an area with a high water table. Koropchak added the area north of Aetna Street appeared to have less wetlands than the area to the south of Aetna. The task force then drove by the Paumen property noting the contrast in the soils and wetlands. Koropchak has obtained copies of soil and wetland maps from the Wright County Soils & Conservation Office. After viewing the high water table on the Osowski property, a meeting with the Osowski was not suggested until more research and the consideration of other options. O'Neill said the Paumen property was purchased about four years ago at about $1 x.000 to $20.000 per acre. Construction of the improvements through the Chadwick property will not be completed for two to four years. Right now Chadwick is held hostage by Hecker. Hecker purchased Rask property and Chadwick has no access for continuation of Chelsea Road to the west. Freeway land along West Chelsea recently sold for $8 per square foot. Feaski noted he's working with a client who can purchase 1.~ acres of land in Ramsey/Andover for $60.000 with no • assessment. Only WAC/SAC fees. The IDC needs to consider cost of land/infrastructure and short and long term needs. Land options: Osowski, Paumen, Chadwick, and Gold Nu~~aet. Partnerships, land options, perhaps an exchange of trunk fees for industrial land with Gold Nugget. The mini task force to consider all four land options. B. Economic Development Report. Koropchak reiterated the written report adding she had an appointment with Les Wurm at 1:00 p.m. to set a date for the open house and to see his interest to replace the 'TCDC ad in the Discover Monticello journal. UIvIC have movers scheduled for August 23. Members discussed the outcome of the non-enacted Special TIF Bill. ~. Discussion on and to continue development of a list of potential tasks to accomplish the <~oal of the IDC: To provide a continuous stream of available industrial land with infrastructure potential. A. Review the draft cow of the June -1.2003 Plannin~~ Commission Agenda for industrial related items. Discuss and vote on an IDC position or action if necessary. 1. Continued -preliminary Ip at approval Otter Creek Crossin~~ commercial subdivision. Vv'ill be tabled as Chadwick does not own or have access to property. 2. JiVIE -interim us~~conditional use permit allowin~~ outside storaUe. Jay :Morrell requested this be tabled. • 3. Gold Nu~~~~et Development -Follow-up on land use. The stay 28 revised plat/PUD from Gold Nug~~et shows ~ 1.18 acres of industrial, 9.80 acres of commercial, and 9.02 acres of ri~~ht-a-way. IDC Minutes - 6/3/03 4. Commercial/industrial park fee -Follow-up -development cost estimates. Koropchak reviewed the permit and trunk fees for the City of Monticello as prepared by Building Official Patch. Utilizing the UMC model, permit fees were $69,81 ~ and trunk fees $92.600. Land cost for the 10 acres was $60.000. Fees were based on 10 acres and a 6,000 sq ft facility. Koropchak noted the TIF reimbursement of $36,000 for land write-down and the City forgave $83,400 in trunk fees. The IDC had requested total costs to develop for the purpose of remaining competitive. O'Neill said park fees should be determined by the demand for parks not by competitiveness. Development drives the demand for parks not population. Park fees are for purchase of land and development of new parks. Cost to maintain the parks is from the General Fund. He continued stating his research to acquire the 26 acres to the south of 8~ Street for ball parks. Asking price $3.000 per acre. The existing residential park fees are not consist with today's land prices. O'Neill requested a motion from the IDC in support of park fees for commercial. Members felt bringing in commercial/industrial development is good for the community and saw the fee as an opportunity to tax. Koropchak noted the Council approved increasing the residential park fees from $868 per unit to $1,200 per unit Jan 2004 and $1,500 per unit Jan 2005 and thereafter by an inflation factor similar to other fee increases (4%). C/I fee later after further study. B. Continued -Review IDC o~ als/proj,ects as prepared by Chair Barer supporting the City Council's CommunitYVision & Governing Policies. Vote if applicable. IDC members made comments to the draft copy of the IDC goals/projects: Make definite statements as a means of measurement, suggested establishment of a task force for implementation of the comp plan consisting of people-at-lame and city staff, and recommends the purchase and/or desi~~nation of one lame area for industrial development versus several small areas. The IDC discussed suggesting once a plan is adopted, stick to the plan. Tapper questioned if implementation of the comp plan is plan driven or economic driven. Koropchak noted comments at the Wright Partnership session encouraged cities to update comp plans/ordinances and to use the adopted plan/ordinances as apro-active tool rather than re-acting to developers. Conclusion, Barger would make the appropriate changes and submit to IDC members for comments prior to the Council session scheduled for July 14. 6. Other Business. Chamber Updates -Chamber Chair Feaski reported that Susie attended a iv1N • Tourism Convention in tiloorhead, the Chamber participated in Walk & Roll which attracted about 2.000 people. are scheduled to give out a $7~0 scholarship at the high school commencement, will participate in Riverfest, and held a breakfast on Legislative wrap-up May 29. -, r~ LJ IDC Minutes - 6/3/03 Die-cask Storage Legislation - Huxford absent.

In the absence of Mayor Thielen, Administrator Wolfsteller reported a meeting between the Township and City Council is scheduled for Monday, August I 1 at 5:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers. A generic agenda is planned. B. Summary of local elected officials meeting of June 18. Housing, crime, recreation, and communication were among the jurisdiction's highest ranked discussion items. Housing discussions: the need for move-up housing and number and square footage of townhouses. It was suggested that elected officials of each jurisdiction keep in-mind the group discussions when voting on related items. The group plans to meet again in the fall as a means of networking. C. Meetin~of city officials to set 2003 Council's Community Vision & Governing Policies. The planned July meeting was cancelled and has not been rescheduled. IDC Minutes - 8/5/03 D. Highway 25 Traffic. Wolfsteller informed members that prior to the Letter-to-the Editor, the Council had requested WSB, the city engineers, to check into the traffic congestion along Highway 25 through town. MN DOT has been convinced they are working with outdated traff c data and promise to have the problem fixed by Labor Day. Asked: Why are all the side- streets torn-up before pavement replacement begins? And why so deep? Wolfsteller will check on this. E. Housin __ D~evelo~ment Status. The attached housing data was prepared by O'Neill and meant as a means of information. Asked what R1-A meant? Restrictive covenants such as larger lot size, etc. Trend over the last few years has been 250 housing permits annually. 4. Reports: A. Mini task force meeting on Osowski's land. Van Allen reported the mini task force of Barger and himself, HRA Commissioner Dan Frie, O'Neill, and Koropchak met on July 10. After reviewing both the existing and future inventory of industrial land and previously having toured the area, the group agreed of the need for soil testing on the Osowski's land to determine soils, water level, and the net amount of land for development. This prior to further discussion to purchase. O'Neill volunteered to ask the Council at the July 14 meeting for authorization to expend dollars for soils testing on the northerly 286 acres of Osowski property after checking with WSB or NAC for topols. The group also saw merit in an IDC township resident attending township meetings for the purpose of a personal vested interest in the township land use planning. The mini group had reviewed a cost analysis prepared by Koropchak based on the Paumen parcel using abuild-otirt over 10 years, 12 companies, purchase price of $20,000 per acre and infrastructure costs of $30,000 per acre including carrying costs. With the use of TIF, it is estimated the City could market the land for $20,000 per acre. Since the request to the Council was not prepared in July, the IDC requested Koropchak prepare the agenda item. Feaski noted he felt the best option was to purchase the existing 42 acres to the south of Chelsea Road from Shawn Weinard. Feaski noted Pfeffer won't pay real estate fees; therefore, the real estate agents take deals elsewhere. Feaski felt if the 42 acres were owned by the city, some covenants waived ,selling price of $20,000 per acre; the park would be filled in 2 years. Koropchak agreed real estate agents won't deal with Pfeffer noting the purpose of the HRA and IDC to acquire industrial land has been to simplify structuring of deals, provide friendly customer transaction, ability to market land for $ ,control land prices, diversify land ownership, and provide a competitive market. Koropchak noted with the proposed I-94/CTY 18 interchange and likelihood to re-zone the Bondhus & Dahllleimer (54 acres), Pfeffer 27.5 acres, Grie's 13 acres from I1-A to commercial and the already re- zoned 15 acres of Lundsten property; what is the city's plan to replace this l 1-A land? The IDC previously agreed the best use of land along the interstate is commercial. The key to initiate a land purchase is to present a written offer, IDC Minutes - 8/5/03 something tangible to foster a respond, not meet and talk. B. Economic Development Report -Koropchak reiterated the written report which was accepted. Discussion on and to continue development of a list of potential tasks to accomplish the goal of the IDC: To provide a continuous stream of available industrial land with infrastructure potential. A. Review the draft copy of the August 5, 2003 Planning Commission Agenda for industrial related items. Discuss and vote on an IDC position or action if necessary. 1. JME -Continued interim use/conditional use permit allowing outside storage. No discussion by the IDC. 2. Otter Creek -Consideration of an amendment to the comprehensive p and consideration of an amendment to a concept stage planned unit development for Otter Creek Crossing. Members received a copy of the Planning Commission agenda supplement. Previously, the IDC supported the Concept Stage PUD land use in Area A of Otter Creek Crossing. Upon review of the agenda information pertaining to Area C, the IDC members agreed Alternative No. 2 (to table) was workable. Although not a quorum of membership, those present recommended and found staff s recommendation to table the request and direct the developer and planning staff to prepare concept plan revisions as workable. They concurred with the recommendation to reduce the residential density in the 19 acres of Area C by incorporating industrial development along the power lines and enforcing the R- 2A standards. Reason for recommendation: The R-2A land use serves as a transition between residential and industrial land uses and incorporating industrial development along the power lines maximizes the I I -A land use within Area C of the PUD. The Comp Plan identified the entire 180 acres of Otter Creek as industrial. B. City Budget 2004 -IDC recommendation to City and HRA to budget matching dollars for future industrial land.

Sub-areas: There are three areas of the proposed business park that have uniyue characteristics. APlanned Unit Development approach is being utilized to provide the tlesibilih- to take advanta`e of those unique characteristics. area A: This area has superior visibility from I-9-I and is immediately adjacent to the existine commercial businesses on Chelsea Road. The `_ ` oal in this area is to provide de~'elopment that has uses and aesthetic standards that are compatible with the adjacent commercial businesses and prop ide a good image of the City to travelers on 1-9-1. :~lthuu~~h the underlyin~~ zonin~~ in this whole project is based un the I-lA standards, the Cuncupt PL'D calls fur buildin~_ t~~pcs in this area to be held to a nwre string • Speriticall~•. the PLD eliminates the use of ex osed metal ur tiberg `ttt Jesi`~n standard. p lass tinishc,s to :1rea .~ rather than allo~~ its use on up to ~0°'o of the wall surfaces.

In addition, the setbacks in this area may be the same as in the commercial areas to the east so that there is a consistent "feel" and massing along the fronta`_e road and I-9-t. ~D Finally, in order to provide a softer transition of uses, provide conveniently located services to ~` future employ ees of the business park and to allow for expansion of the rapidly diminishing,: undeveloped areas in the city that have hi~hwav visibility, the follo«~in~~ uses to be added to .-area :~. - - ^ Enclosed boat and marine saps ^ Books. office supplies, stationery stores and copy sen~ices ^ Furniture. carpet. ni`" tile, ~zlass, paint. ~rallpaper. hardware, and electrical appliance SIUCe5 ^ ~tutur Biel station, auto repair, car wash, auto body shop, fire and batter`• stores and sen•ice . ^ ~[achinery saps ^ ~ie~r and used automubil~'light truck sales and display ^ Day care center ^ ~o outdoor Stura~~c area B: This area has limited highway risibility and most of this area is buttered from the developments to the past by a large ~retland and the existing cemetery ro erty.

Applicant: Otter Creek LLC. (NAC) REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND City staff and the applicants have discussed the proposal to designate approximately 19 acres of property for Residential land uses, first considered by the Planning Commission at its August 5 meeting. Planning staff continues to believe that the City's land use policy has been to maximize industrial development opportunities, and that proposed land use plan changes that run counter to that policy should be closely scrutinized. While there maybe occasions where residential uses are more appropriate than some of the designated industrial areas, staff believes that the proposed site is not one of them. Examples of land that would be better used for residential would include sites that have high residential amenities (tree cover, significant water features and/or hillside views), and avoidance of characteristics that tend to hold down residential development quality and value, such as high volume roadways and power transmission line corridors. As such, planning staff maintains its position stated in the August 5, 2003 • planning report. If the Planning Commission and City Council believe that a change to the land use policy of preserving industrial land is appropriate, that change should be included as a finding in any approval resolution. Detailed review of a residential development would be withheld until after a decision is made on the Land Use Plan request. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS Decision 1: Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan designating 19 acres for Residential land uses. 1. Motion to recommend approval of the amendment, subject to density and concept development review of more detailed plans, based on a finding that the land use pattern in this particular area is better suited to residential uses than industrial uses. 2. Motion to recommend denial of the amendment, based on a finding that .the current land use plan is supported by the City's land use policy of protection of industrial land. • Planning Commission Agenda - 09/02/03 .

Date: August 26, 2003 Re: Industrial Park Wetland Review WSB Project No.1488-12 Memorandum As requested, we have reviewed the future Industrial Park site located in the northwest corner of the City for the presence of wetlands. Wetlands are protected under State and Federal law and therefore impacts to wetlands should.generally be avoided. Based on our review, the 286-acre site could contain approximately 31-acres of wetland. The wetland areas are shown on the attached figure. • 4150 Olson Memorial Highway Suite 300 ~polis Minnesota 55422 763 541 4800 763 541 1700 FAX Site Review Method The available resources listed below were used to determine areas that were anticipated to contain wetlands. It is important to note that no site visit or field wetland delineation was completed to identify the location of wetlands. Therefore, the wetland locations shown on the attached figure are to be used for planning purposes only. If the site develops or a site appraisal is needed, the wetlands should be delineated in conformation with State and Federal standards. The following information was used to identify the approximate locations of wetlands on the site: • Wright County Soil Survey • United States Geological Survey (USGS) map • National Wetland Inventory (NWI) map • MnDNR Public Waters and Wetlands Inventory (PWI) map • Historical aerial photos for years 1937, 1940, 1953, 1958, 1963, 1970, 1975, and 1991 Using the Wright County Soil Survey, areas that contained hydric soils were identified. Hydric soils are generally those that can support wetlands and/or have high water tables. The site was then reviewed using the USGS maps, PWI maps, and NWI maps to determine if there was a known occurrence of wetlands within the area. The final evaluation of the area used available historical photos of the 286-acres. Based on this analysis, it was determined that up to twelve potential wetland areas exist within the 286-acre site. The following table summarizes the results of the aerial photo interpretation. Minneapolis ~ St. Cloud Equal Opportunity Employer August 26, 2003 Page 2 of 2 Table 1.

The drain the area will require a site visit to determine if wetlands are present. Results It is estimated that the site contains approximately 31 acres of wetland. This amount is based solely and map and photo review since no site investigation was completed as part of this analysis. A wetland delineation is needed to determine the exact amount of wetlands on the site. Additionally, some areas appear to have been disturbed by drain the and other activities. These areas require a field investigation to determine if wetlands still exist. A description of these questionable areas is provided below: ^ Based on the historical photo review, the area between Sites F, E, and K appear to have been drained with the use of tiles sometime between 1937 and 1940. The use of drain tiles in the area also may have led to the disturbance of Sites F and G. More wetland in this area could exist and a field wetland delineation is required to determine an exact amount. r~ ^ Site H has been disturbed due to agricultural activities and may no longer exist. A wetland delineation is needed to determine if this area is still wetland. ^ Site I was impacted by the construction of I-94 and appears to be gone. ^ Site J was disturbed during development at the road intersection and appears to be gone.
