Consideration of Buildine Permit Approval - Silver Fox Motel. Mr. Fd Larson, principal owner of the Silver Fox Motel, is requesting a building permit to add twelve units to the existing forty-two unit motel. Plans have been presented to our building inspector and brought before the Planning Commission for their recommendation at their last meeting. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the permit. It should be pointed out that the planned addition complies with all applicable state and city codes, and Mr. Larson has agreed to the landscaping requirements. Additionally, the existing parking spaces are sufficient to meet the city ordinances relative to a fifty-four unit motel. Mr. Larson does not have mechanical and electrical plans, but Mr. Miller 4 rr11 has indicated a partial permit can be issued on plans presented thus a� 6` far. Additionally, Mr. Larson will later present a landscaping plan �� ,�0 _,y to the building inspector that meets the dollar requirement of our t �g ordinances. F Mr. Lnrson hopes to be open by June 15, 1978 with the now addition o and was reminded of the certificate of occupancy requirements. Q V Reasoning for addition of twelve units has been the high occupancy ratio the motel has experienced during its time of operation, which is only Q about nine months. POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of approval of permit. V ° REFERENCES: Building plans available at City Hall. ends Item 2. Consideration of InstAllin6 Undersround Electric Utility Lines and Telephone Cables as part of the 1977-3 Street Improvement Protect. At a recent council meeting, the possibility of installing underground electric utility lines and telephone cables woe discussed as a part of the 1977-3 Street Improvement F_oject. Enclosed, please find a memo from NSP relative to the matter. As you can see by the memo, there aro many factors involved in going to an underground system, such as a charge to a customer for changing the service, the cost of excavation on private property, easements to be obtained, a $2.90 per month charge to residential customers, plus an estimated cost to the city of $745,497. Additionally, the city would have to float another bond to cover the added costs and depending on portion to be assessed - a reforendum might be required. NSP indica- ted the project could take them more than one year to complete. gJ71v Agenda Item 1A. Consideration of Resolution Continuing Phase II of Airport Feasibility Study on Site B. Representatives of the Monticello Airport Committee along with the mayor and myself have met vrith representatives from the Federal Aviation Administration and the Minnesota Department of Transportation, Aero- nautics Division, relative to the airport eiivation. From the discussions the following points evolved: 1. FAA and MN/DOT would continue to fund study even though Monticello might remain only sponsor. 2. No funding from the state and federal level would b:: available to Buffalo, Haplc Lane ui' KillLiceilu un existing sues unless additional land was purchased to accommodate a runway as indicated in item 3. 3. In order to receive state and federal funds, site would have to be selected that had expansion potential to accommodate a 5,000 - 5500 foot runway (northwest-southc_st alignment). 4. Three sites within the study area were closer to Monticello than the combined site, however only one site, Site B, has possible expan- sion potential as indicated in item 3. FAA and MN/DDT have given their approval to studying Site B if Monticello were to select that site. t,lp As a result of Monticello's meetings with above officials its alternatives are as follows: 1. Drop out of study 2. Pursue the combined site gFy'r �O ��►� t9� 3. Pursue Site B 4. Pursue Monticello -Big Lake site previously studied L/ 5. Pursue smaller site elsewhere with no Federal or State funds P 011 The consensus of Monticello officials present was to pursue site B 5�+: `� �o �• and enclosed please find a resolution to that effect and a map of the \' Jy er �y sr d t area. t' X46 `M e� It should be noted that selection of another site other than the combined site a,eti�od for thefirm, Ralph au a )o� Assoctesaandthswuladd $12OO to the study with teteprticipa- I i tion of 80%. Initially, the City of Monticello'a cost for Phase II was to be $425, ��o r with the other communities dropping out, and the in creom in the engin- V4 caring contract Monticello'a share would be $1090. pa Sr �; POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of resolution enclosed approving of d� SJd entering into Phase II of the study, etc. V 1,01" REFERENCES: Enclosed map.

N 01' POSSIBLE ACTION: Decision whether to pursue underground utilities f,y' and telephone cable. Pa REFERENCES: Enclosed memo from NSP. Agenda Item 3. Consideration of Adoption of Uniform Housing Code. This item was on the council's agenda August 24, 1977, and council requested it be tabled for further consideration. Following are significant elements of the Uniform Housing Code: APPLICATION - Code would apply to all buildings either existing or designed or intc::dcd to be 'auilt. However, existing buil^"ngs do not have to comply with all the provisions of the code, only those found to be substandard as spelled out in section 1001. (copy sent out with 8-21--77 Agenda.) ENFORCEMIT - Building inspector has authority to enforce code. HOUSING ADVISORY AND APPEALS BOARD - City Council appoints board consisting of five members who are not employees of the City. The Building Inspector is an ex -officio member of the board. This board acts in an advisory capacity on the interpretation 1. of the 1Iniform Housing Code and also as an appeal board. Should a property owner disagree with a decision rendered by the Building inspector, he would have the right to appeal the case to the board. The board could be the City Council itself or a combination of council members and other appointed members. PROCEDURE - Whenever the Building Inspector has inspected or caused to be inspected any building and has found and determined that such building is a substandard building, he shall order the building repaired, vacated or demolished to abate the problem. The order of the Inspoctor must be carried out in a reasonable period of time normally not to exceed 60 days. AP?EAI. HEARING - If the property owner appeals the order of the Building Inspector, a hearing is held by thu Board of Appeals and a final decision is rendered. Property owner must appeal order of building inspector within 30 days after order is inaued, and if not appealed within 30 days, the building inspector's order is final. ENFORCEMENT OF ORDER - If the property owner fails to obey the order, the building inspector may prosecute or institute any appropriate action to abate such a nuisance. - 2 - Agenda Supplement 2/13/78 RECOVERY OF CAST OF REPAIR OR DEMOLITION - Any cost incurred by the city in carrying out the provisions of the Uniform Housing Code in repair or demolition of a building shall be assessed against the property. It should be pointed out that the Uniform Housing Code was previously adopted by the City of Monticello prior to the adoption of a new set of ordinances in 1975. At their August 1977 meeting, the Planning Commission recommended adoption of the code; however, they expressed concern over the degree of technicality to which the code would be applied. It was their feeling that the code should be utilized to concentrate on rental units and also single family residential units that are definitely in need of repair. Additionally, they recommended that rental units be inspected on a regular annual basis. A Q�• �" The City Council may want to consider an amendment to exclude 1, single family residences, unless they are rented out, from the b" provisions of the ordinance. This would make the code applicable to rental units only. �3 ;'OSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of adopting code, with any revisions, and appointing Housing Advisory and Appeals Board. l REFERENCES: Uniform Housing Code (sent with B-24-77 agenda, please contact city hall if you want another copy.) Agenda Item 4. Aonointment of Council Reuresentative to Community School Advisory Board's Annual Meeting. Enclosed, please find a letter from Monticello Community Education Director, Duane Cates, relative to the community school's advisory council's annual meeting Thursday, March 16, 1978 at 7:30 P.M. in the Monticello Senior High School Library. It is necessary that one council member attend this meeting in order \ that the community school. may meet the requirements of Mod. Statutes n Il 275.125 rolative to incroacing mutual cooperation between local units `�`yo` of government and the school district. POSSIBLE ACTION: Appointment of council member to attend March 16th meeting. REFERENCE: Enclosed letter. l - 3 - Agenda Supplement 2/13/78 Agenda Item 5. Consideration of Adopting Ordinance Establishing Four -Year Term for Mayor. Minnesota Statutes 412.022 provide that a city council may, by ordinance, establish a four year term for the office of mayor. The present term of a mayor is not affected by the ordinance if adopted. �PW Additionally, the ordinance must be adopted at least four weeks before the closing date for the filing of affidavits of candidacy to the be effective for the next election. For example, the ordinance would have to be adopted by September 12, 1978 for the mayor's term to be extended to four years for the November 7, 1978 election. POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of Adopting Ordinance Establishing Four-year term for Mayor. REFERENCE: Enclosed proposed ordinance. Agenda Item 6. Consideration of Ordinance Revising Mayor and Councilmembers Salaries. With our last meeting's agenda, there was enclosed a salary schedule of mayor and council members for various cities and this is again enclosed for your reference. MUnticello's council members are paid $15 per meeting and the mayor is paid $20 per meeting. In 1977, council members were paid $480 each, and the mayor received $640 (Mayor's salary was donated back to the City). According to Minnesota Statutes, a change in salary does not become effeo- tive until after the next regular municipal election (November 7, 1978). Although most citi,.=s that nrn the size of Monticello pay their mayor and council members approximately the same as Monticello, other factors such as budget responsibility and activity should be taken into consideration. For example, Brainerd (Pop. 11,667) pays their mayor and council members $2,100 and $1,500 respectively based on 1977 figures, and the activity and budget responsibility in Monticello is probably just as great or greater. POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of adopting ordinance revising mayor and council members salary. REFERENCE: Ehclosed salary achedula.� - 4 - Agenda Supplement 2/13/78 I .,genda Item 7. Consideration of Special Meeting to Interview Building Inspector Candidates. Thus far, thirty-seven (37) applications have been received for the posi- tion of building inspector for the City. An ad will appear this week in the Minnesota Cities magazine and the .number of applicants could quite easily reach fifty to sixty. L4 Of the applications received thus far, ten (10) have been certified building inspectors. Salhry requirements generally range from $12,000 - $16,000 per year. I would like to suggest the possibility of a special meeting to inte7e u possibly for to six of the top candidates for further consideration. / Since the League magazine will come out the week of February 13th, X155 would suggest the week of February 20th or 27th for the interview POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of special meeting. REFERENCES: Applications available at city hall. Agenda Item 8. Consideration of Approving Orr-Schelen-Maveron Assoc. to Review Floodway Map. The Federal Insurance Administration, U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is contracting with private engineering firms to review and update floodway maps. Purpose of updating the maps is to provide more detailed information for the National Flood Insurance Program under which individuals can purchase flood insurance for their homes and businesses. To become eligible for flood insurance, the community must meet guidelines set up by HUD. As part of updating the flood plain maps, HUD is also requiring to update its ordinances to meet new regulations. In the Monticello area, Barr Engineering is updating the present flood - way maps along the Mississippi River and Otter Creek. They have completed their review and have sent the City maps to review for approval. These maps have been looked at by Keith Nelson, of O.S.M., and he feels that there are some revisions the City should request specifically along Otter Creek. Although 1t is hard to estimate, Keith feels that it would take about four to six hours to adequately review the proposed flood plain map. POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of authorizing O.S.M. to further review flood plain map for possible revisions. REFERENCES: Copy of map is available at City Hall. — 5 — Z �13 J??

(See supplement 1-23-78 111). In ad ition, Mr. Pesola folt that the following factors should be con- sidered by the council before proceeding with the airport study: 1. The committee feels that a need for a regional airport has not been established and that Maple Lake and Buffalo already have existing airports which serve their needs; and that family's will be displaced and forced to move to accommocate such an airport; and that a regional airport located in the vicinity proposed All cause haphazard commercial d;velopment along Hwy. 25 which is now predominantly .agricultural. 1•h'. Franklin Donn, Monticello Township Chairman, informed the council that Monticello, Maple Lake and Buffalo Townships have all passed inJividual resolutions opposing a regional airport. 'rhe council accepted the petitions and informed the opponents that P. decision on whether to go ahead with the study will be placed on the agunda for consideration after the city consults with state and federal. agencies in light of Buffalo and Maple Lake's withdrawal from Phase it participation.
