lite current zoning ordinances call for a 301 si,dewayd
setback in an T-1 (Light: Industrial) district and
/ Me. Ileskins is requesting a 201 variance to build
t- his shop within 10' of the property line. (see
sketch) .
Mr. Ileskins had originally intended to purchase thC1
souther ly 1 201 of the lumber yard property from
Richard Zahl-er. but Mr. %ahl.er erected a fence
stn•roundin= his lumber storage area leaving only
100' frontage on Cty. Road 117.
the purpnse of the variance request is to allow
for more spaco south of the building for parking
requirements. The distance between Mr. Ileskins'
proposed building and the, Independent Lumber Yard
building would sti I 1 be approximately 2001 if a
variance were Granted. Because of this large disranre,
between the structures. the Planning Commission r11-
4omtnendctl apprnvaJ of the variance request: at their
September 23, I07o meeting.

Agenda Item 4. Consideration of Building Permits - Silver Fox Inn
and Bondhus Tool Co.
J. W. Miller has received a building permit application
for the following two projects:
Silver Fox Tnn:
35 unit motel to be built by Fox Inn Motels. Inc.
(principal stock holders and officers are Stuart
Hoglund, Monticello and Ed Larson, Sauk Rapids).
The Planning Commission has recommended approval
-
contingent upon review and approval by J. W. Mi.l.ler.
J. W. has reviewed the plans and will be at Monday's
meeting with his recommendations and comments.
IkMdhus Tool Cot
Applicant is adding second story to structure on
County Road #75. Det'ermi'nation should be made as
to whether current improvement work on parking area
will be hard surfaced as required by city ordinance
and should be considered in approving permit.
POSSIBLE ACTION: AfLrr hearing recommendations and
review of projects approval or denial of permits.
A da Item 5. Consideration of Purchasing Park Land on East: County
Road #.19.
John Sandberg .is request'i'ng the city consider Lhe
possibility of purchasing two lots on the Mississippi
River along lust County Road #39. Size of the two
lots would be 100 feet, by 250 feet or approximately
a half arse. Cost. of the two .lots would be $15,800.
CtivrenLly there .is it mob.ito home on each lot, with
septic system and well along with a single garage on
one of Ole lot's.
At. their last mcct..i.ng, the Planning Commission rc-
commended the, city purchase this pat -eel and also
consider purchase of additional land Co the east of
Lhe parcel. Reasoning for the purchaso would ba:
1. Currently there is no park on Lhe east, end
of Ole city.
2. 'I'hc mobile homes could be taken out, - possibly
Increasing adjoining property valunt.ions.
Disadvantages would be:
1. CovLs seems to be high considering no building
perm,itm can bo Issued .in tills flood plain
arca nnlens costly provisions are math..

2. Land currently for sale has limited park
potential bemuseof small size.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Cunsidtrati,n of purchase of prulic-rLy.
Agenda Item 6. Consideration of Applying for Public Works Capital
Development Grant.
President Ford has signed the appropriations bill
approving $2 billion for local public works projects
by local and state unit- of government.
Briefly, the purpose of the bill is to resolve on -
employment in .in the country through the creation of
publ-ic works projects. 70% of al.l available Funds
must be spent .in areas with unemployment over the
national_ rate - currently 7.8%. Munt.i-cello would
qualify as the unemployment rate in Wright County is
,.0% (Mont.i.cello is able to use the county rat.- as
statistics arc not, avai l.able for the city itself) .
City hall and the First stage storm sewer cons Lrur_tion
have been discussed as possible projects to apply
for. Both of these projects arc eligible under the
grant program. It wool.d appear that. the funds wi _l I
be spread as much as possible and .it is very unlikely
that both projects will be funded. However, I Peel
it would be well to appy for both projects because
of their different dollar amounts; the city ha II
costing approximately $360,000 and the storm sewor
vroject. approximately $723.000. This would al low some
flexibility i.n that funels may not nllow for the
storm sewn, project but may a l.low fog, city hall.
1 have talked to the Economic Development Admi-nistration
and they indicate they 1.111 be ready to neeepL-
appl.icat:.ions some time aPter October 25, 1976.
Within sixty days after appl-i.eation. the applicant
%il I be notified or approval or disapproval.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of prnject(s) to
apply Por and authorir.atlon to have city administrator
apply 17.11. grant. Depeuelent upon pvojuet(s) nppli.ed

Because of the nature and long term ramifications
involved, the council may want to consider n special
muet.i.ng with the Assnciation to explore any and nlI
possibilities. Possibly it could be worked out, where
the city maintains Lite mowing of the cemetery but:
ownership and other expenses would remain the same.

Agenda Item 7.
Consideration of Acquisition of Riverside Cemetery.
Due tofinancial difficulties the Riverside Cemetery
C'
Association of the Masonic Lodge has requested the
city take over complete control and ownership of
Riverside Cemetery.
This .item was brought up at the September 13, 1976
council meeting, at which time Doug Pitt, Stan Hall
and myself were to further study the association's
proposal and report back to the council within 30
days.
Doug, Stan and myself have reviewed the matter and
also have discussed the property to the cast of the
Cemetery. Doug indicated the Riverside Cemetery Assoc.
will not; donate this property to the east of the
cemetery, but would sell it to the city at 75% of
its appraised value.
The alternatives are not too attractive. On one
hand Lire Riverside Cemetery Association .indicates
that because of financial problems, deteriora:,ion
of the cemetery would occur and the other alternative
indicates the city by acquiring Lite cemetery would
have to subsidize .it through a levy.
11, seems to Stan and myself that the latter decision
may be the. best.. Furthermore, should the city take
�J
over the cemetery, appraisal of the property should
be made and consideration be given to purchasing the
adjoining S acres .in .light of the cost.
Because of the nature and long term ramifications
involved, the council may want to consider n special
muet.i.ng with the Assnciation to explore any and nlI
possibilities. Possibly it could be worked out, where
the city maintains Lite mowing of the cemetery but:
ownership and other expenses would remain the same.
