4. Consideration to review summary comments and ideas for establishment of IDC goals
and adjectives.
Discussion centered on proposal from Fred Patch of the City with regard to how
trucks should enter businesses and where those entrances should be located. The two
biggest issues are safety and ascetics the plan would limit loading docks to the side
or/and rear of buildings.
This issue was discussed at length considering, cost, safety, existing buildings
structure and feasibility.
Motioned by Tapper seconded by Gabinski:
The committee recommended that the City focus on safety as the main issue and that
the IDC does not believe the overall problem warrants an
ordnance at the present time. Unanimously approved.
5. Note from Chairman Dick Van Allen that the IDC needs to appoint a new Chairman
at the January meeting for 1999.

Turnout was the same as 1997, compliments were received the Chamber did a great
job. Many compliments on the industrial brochure everything went well, the
committee thanked Ollie for her efforts.

r
• the Chamber and what should be done with it. It was noted that the Chamber
supports the IDC during the year to the tune of about $2,500.00.
It was decided that the Chamber should use the money as they see fit to promote
Monticello and that the original terms of the transfer (letter of 1996) be reinforced.

seconded the motion and with no additions or corrections, the minutes were approved as
written. With no submittal of the November 19 minutes, this was carried over.
3. Consideration of activity reports:
a) Mayor's report -Mayor Fair reported that the 1999 City Budget was approved
and the requested $75,000 for future industrial infrastructure development or land
acquisition was cut to $25,000. Additionally, the HRA was unable to match the
requested $75,000 in 1999 because of the lack of funds. However, the Council
expressed interest in funding projects brought forward. Secondly, Mayor Fair
reported the Council received a request from the Monticello Joint Planning Board

' IDC MINUTES
DECEMBER 17, 1998
4. Consideration to review summarized IDC goals and objectives to determine whether they
need further defining or to acceFt as summarized.
Chair Van Allen submitted a summary of the IDC goals and objectives as resulted from
the November meeting and asked for comments. It appeared further defining of short
term and long term projects or goals was needed. A request for a copy of the current IDC
purpose for comparison was made. The members agreed to submit the presented goals
and objectives in the agenda pack for consideration and approval at the January meeting.
Consideration to review Monticello IDC Org_anizational/Membershit~ Guidelines and
membership list.
The guidelines and membership list were submitted at the request of the IDC. It was
noted election of officers take place in January at the annual meeting. Chair Van Allen
expressed his interest to pass-on the gavel as he foresees an increase of business travel in
1999. Members agreed and requested Chair Van Allen ask the Vice Chair as to his desire
to move into chairmanship. If the Vice Chair declines, a nominating committee of Ken
Maus and Bill Tapper will proceed to recruit a nominee for Chair 1999. Membership and
terms were briefly discussed, stating it was the desire of the group a few years ago to cut
• back on the number of members as the 16-18 membership was too large to be effective.
However, with the recent lack of attendance perhaps this should be re-assessed and the
membership attendance accounted. As a matter of past practice, Mayor Fair was invited
to remain on the IDC if so desired.
6. Consideration to hear a presentation by John Chadwick relating to development of the
southwest corridor and request for endorsement.
Koropchak reviewed the previous history of the parcels which were identified in a March
1998 presentation by Chadwick. Identifying the easterly approximate 85-acre parcel
owned by Goeman and partners, the 15-acre triangle parcel fronting I-94 being marketed
by Goeman, and the southwesterly approximate 85-acre parcel owned by Chadwick for a
total of about 185 acres of proposed industrial land.
Jim Bower proceeded by stating of the tota185-acre Chadwick property, the yellow area
(about 50-55 acres) was available for industrial development, the red area was the shallow
gravel deposit, and green area was for excavation. The diagonal yellow to be removed in
the first year. He estimated the gravel mining business has the potential of an annual gross
revenue of $1 million with an annual payroll of $50,000 to $100,000. Gravel expectation
is 100,000 tons per year for about 10 years. Test drilling indicated firm ground 20 feet
underneath. Truck traffic would be routed via County Road 39 or a back route from 90th

Street or Avenue. The proposed grinding/crushing area is to the rear (southerly portion)
of the property. The benefit of recycling is it minimizes the number of local trucks.
Products are brought-in for crushing, mixed with gravel, and hauled-out to job sites. For
economic reasons, a typical gravel pit market area is about 15 miles. The
grinding/crushing permit is issued through the County, this is on the January 6 County
agenda.
John Chadwick proposed a land swap with the City, his 85 acres for the City's 65-acre site
along Highway 25. Chadwick would retain the mineral rights on the 85 acres for
sometime. The attached list is a comparison of the site factors.
Asking Mr. Chadwick of his wants from the IDC, he responded: 1. Thoughts of the IDC
and consideration for development of the gravel pit. 2. Consideration of an IDC/City
.exchange of land for industrial development. Members discussed the three triangle parcels
of Chadwick, Goeman's and Goeman's marketing as it relates to freeway exposure,
infrastructure and utility development, wetlands, and access. Wolfsteller noted
Chadwick's property being the most westerly would be developed last and could be
served by utilities from the north under I-94 or east via Goulds. A utility/infrastructure
study of the area was ordered for presentation to the IDC in May 1998.
• A suggestion was made for the City to consider exchange of the Chadwick/City property
and to consider acquisition of the Goeman and Goeman marketing properties for control
of the approximate 185 acres. It appeared the utility/infrastructure study and appraisals
were the next steps for consideration by the City. Selling points for the Goeman property
were briefly discussed.
With time running out, the IDC made no further suggestions or recommendations.
7. Other business.
None.
Adjournment.
The IDC meeting adjourned at 8:35 a.m.
