AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
1. Public Hearing - Consideration of Variance Request - Minimum Lot Size
and Subdivision - Arne Kolbiornsen.
Mr. Arne Kolbjornsen is requesting a variance of approximately 700 square
feet to subdivide a lot within Creekside Terrace into two parcels. The
current lot size is 26,482 square feet. Proposed subdivision would create
two lots of approximately 9,300 square feet, and 17,182 square feet. A
variance is necessary since the minimum lot size in an R-2 zone is 10,000
square feet. It should be pointed out that this particular lot was ini-
tially zoned from R-1 to E-2 to allow for the construction of a duplex.
It is proposed that the duplex, which is currently situated on the easterly
portion of the lot, would be left with 17,182 square feet, and the 9,300
square feet would be for a single family dwelling.
As you may recall at the time of the rezoning from R-1 to R-2, there was some
opposition from the neighbors in the area relative to a duplex. Of prime
concern to the neighbors was the number of duplexes that eventually would
be allowed in the future, and one concern was whether there would be another
duplex allowed on this particular lot. Another concern was whether the lot
would again be subdivided. Based somewhat on the fact that there was ini-
tially 26,482 square feet, the City Council approved of the original rezoning.
At their last meeting, the Planning Commission unanimously voted to
recommend approval of the variance request provided a certificate of
survey indicates there is a minimum of 9,300 square feet for the single
family residential lot, and also approved of the subdivision of the land.
Reasoning for this recommendation was that the Planning Commission felt
that the 9,300 square feet was very close to the minimum requirement of
10,000 square feet, and additionally, felt that the placement of a house
on this particular parcel would be better than to have a vacant lot which
possibly would not be maintained in an equal manner to other properties
in the area. It should be pointed out that they did consider the fact
that the area was rezoned from an R-1 to an R-2, and within an R-1 zone,
the minimum lot size is 12,000 square feet rather than the 10,000 square
feet that is necessary in an Rr2 zone.
There was some concern as to whether a house could be built on this lot
because of its odd shape without the necessity of a variance from the
front, rear and oidoyard setback requirements. The Council may want to
consider tabling action an this matter until plane and specifications for
the house were presented. In this fashion, the neighbors would be informed
of what type of house would be going on the lot, plus the question of
additional variances could be answered. However, Mr. Kolbjornson has
indicated that he could easily build a house on the lot without requiring
any additional variances.
It should be pointed out that if this request is approved, it should be
contingent upon receiving an actual survey showing the minimum lot
size on a newly created lot of 9,300 square feet for the western portiont
and that it be recorded at the Wright County Registrar of Deeds Office
Council Agenda - 10/23/78
and proof of recording be verified by the City of Monticello.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of approval odenial f variance and
subdivision request.*
REFERENCE: Enclosed map depicting subdivision.
2. Public Hearing - Consideration of Variance Request of Sideyard Setback
Requirements - Tadako Pratt.
Tadako Pratt, who lives at 301 W. River Street (the corner of W. River and
Locust Streets), is requesting a variance to build an attached garage up
to the East property line at her residence. Presently, her home is 21 from
the property line on the east side, or on the Locust Street right-of-way.
As a result, she would merely like to move her garage which she plans to
attach to the existing house 2* ahead of the existing house. (See enclosed
layout of this site.)
At their last meeting of the Planning Commission, upon hearing no objections
to this variance request, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to
recommend approval of the variance .squest in light of the fact that the
house currently is situated 20 from t,e property line at this point
already.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of Approval or Denial of Request.*
REFERENCES: Ehclosed site layout.
3. Public Hearing for the Consideration of a Variance Request for an Off -Premise
Sign - Electro Industries.
ti
Mr. Bill Seefeldt, of Electro Industries, is requesting a variance to
L allow an off -premise eign for his company to be put on the property of
` the Monticello Rod & Gun Club. There is a letter on file with the City
of Monticello that the Rod & Gun Club has given Mr. Seefeldt permission
4 to do this provided that the City of Monticello concurs.
0 A variance request is necessary in light of the fact that the Monticello
17 City Ordinances do not allow any off -promise sign advertising a product
or another firm.
At the Planning Commission meeting, Mr. Bill Seefeldt indicated the height
of the sign would be 81 and the size of the sign would be 18" by 2411, and
the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the variance
request. If the Council were going to grant the variance request, it might
want to limit the height and square footage area of the sign.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of approval or d al of variance request.*
*According to Monticello City Ordinances, a 4/5*e vote of the Council
will be required to approve thoso variance requests.

Council Agenda - 10/23/78
4. Consideration of Temporary Use Permit to Allow Licht Manufacturing within
an Rr2 Zone - Decorative Services.
Mr. Bill Schackor, of Decorative Services, is requesting a temporary use
permit to allow Decorative Services to utilize one room on the second floor
of the Oakwood Elementery School for use by his manufacturing firm. In
talking to Mr. Schackor and also Mr. Shelly Johnson, the School Superinten-
dent, in this matter, the request would be of a temporary nature until such
time as Mr. Schackor's building is completed within the Oakwood Industrial
Park. As a result, the proposal at this point is to allow the temporary
use for a period of one year.
Activity that would take place at the Oakwood School would be primarily
the sewing of drapes. There would be four sewing machines set up in the
classroom and four individuals would be working within the room itself.
As I understand it, there will be no remodeling of the School itself, and
employee parking will be handled across the street at the existing
Decorative Services facility.
At their last meeting, which was subject of a Public Hearing, the Planning
Commission unanimously voted to recommend approval of the temporary use
permit for a period of one year.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration oappro or denial of temporary use permit.
5. Consideration of a Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Unit Development -
Mbnticello I-94 Tri -Plaza.
Mr. Sam Peraro is proposing that the property he owns southeast of the
intersection of I-94 and State Highway 25 be granted a conditional use
permit for a planned unit development. A planned unit development is a
conditional use permitted within a B-3 zone.
Mr. Peraro indicated that the request for a PUD is to allow for the
eventual construction of two restaurants along with the Vance's Amoco
gasoline station which is currently under construction.
Reason for the request to go to the PUD is that Mr. Peraro does intend to
continue ownership of the entire area, which is approximately 3 acres. A
PUD gives flexibility to a developer and also to the City in that it allows
the developer to make better use of a particular parcel and allowing parking
requirements to be met in total but not to be required on each specific
site. It could so happen that one site may not technically meet the City's
requirements in terms of parking spaces for a particular use, but as long
as there was an excess from another site in the PUD, the overall parking
requirements would be mot. The advantage from the City's standpoint
is that it has great flexibility in the ultimate approval of what types
of businesses, the particular design layout, landscaping plans are
allowed within a PUD itself. According to the Monticello City Ordinances
for Planned Unit Developments, the initial stage, called a general concept
stage, is subject to a public hearing at the Planning Commission level. At
- 3 -
Council Agenda - 10/23/78
this meeting, the developer proposes an overall schematic design and
intended uses for his Planned Unit Development, with a preliminary site
layout which is enclosed. At the time of the actual development of each
particular area within a PUD, another hearing is held at the development
stage level. For example, at this time, it is intended that in addition
to the current Amoco station to be planned, that a McDonald's Restaurant
would be located within the PUD and possibly another restaurant would be
on t:.e third parcel. At the time of more definitive plans for these
future developments, it would be necessary to go to another public hearing
d a detailed layout of the landscaping arrangement, schematics of the
\erior of the building, etc., along with approval of the building permit
` \\uld be required. In this manner, it allows the City more control over
VVVt is allowed in a planned unit development, but yet, the developer
is able to gain the flexibility of not requiring the whole area to
p atted similar to a subdivision plat.
ther reason that the particular development in this case opted for a
D rather than a subdivision is that a third parcel planned for a
I, estaurant is not fronted on a public right-of-way as required of all
/�/be
Y subdivisions. It would be the responsibility of the developer and the
owner of the PUD to maintain the proposed roadways within the PUD itself.
/ It should be pointed out that the developer, Loren Klein and myself did
review the proposed development with Howard Dahlgren, our City Planner.
Mr. Dahlgren made some suggestions and recommendations as to traffic flow,
etc., and Mr. Peraro has revised his initial plan. Enclosed, you will find
Howard Dahlgren and Associates review of the revised plan, and Mr. Peraro
indicated that he concurs with all the recommendations except that the
curb cut opening is planned for 40' as opposed to the 30' as indicated in
the Howard Dahlgren & Associates letter of October 13 978.
At their last meeting, this item was subject to a blic Hearing and no
objections were voiced and the Planning Conmris unanimously voted to
recommend approval of the PUD as a con n use.
�0 POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of approv or denial of conditional use
permit for a PU .+�"
�REFFRENCES: Enclosed site layout for the PUD, plus the recommendations from
Howard Dahlgren & Associates.
6. Consideration of Rezoning and Conditional Use Permit for a 24 -Unit Aoart-
ment - Ken Krienke.
Mr. Ken Krianke has applied for rezoning and conditional use permit to
allow for the construction of a 24 -unit apartment building on the southwest
corner of the J. R. Culp farm on the South edge of the City. (See enclosed
map.)
Currently, the property is zoned as R-1, and according to the Monticello
City Ordinances, to allow up to a 24 -unit apartment would require o rezoning
to an R-3 and a conditional use permit.
i
•
**According to Monticello City Ordinances, a 4/5's vote of the Council
will be required to approve this conditional use for a PUD.

t
Mr. Krienke is proposing to build 21 2 -bedroom and 3 1 -bedroom units in
the complex. According to Monticello City Ordinances, this would require
an area of land of 64,000 square feet, or 4 acres, and the present site
consists of 3-1/3 acres so there is more than sufficient land for this
proposal.
Mr. Krienke indicated that he is planning to build a moderate income
project with Farmer's Home Administration funds. As indicated by Mr. Krienke
at the Planning Commission meeting, this would be subsidized housing for
families who have an income in the range of $ll - 16,000 per year, If this
were not completely occupied by subsidized families, it would be available
S to non -subsidized families who are willing to pay normal market rent for
the apartment units.
(,@Y At their last meeting, this item was subject to a public hearing and no
objections were voiced, As a result, the Planning Commission unanimously
voted to recommend approval of the conditional use permit request and
the rezoning.
should be mentioned that since this is a moderate income subsidized
eject, that the apartment house could only be assessed at 1%Sth the
rmal valuefor assessed valuation purposes, and as a result, the City
uld be receiving less in taxes than a non -subsidized unit.

SSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of approval or denial of rezoning request
and conditional use permit.***

�n Consideration of an Ordinance Amendment to Allow Jewelry Stores as a
( Permitted Use within a Ei-3 Zone.
Mr. Dan Poirier is requesting an ordinance amendment to allow a jewelry
store within a 3-3 Zone. Mr. Poirier is proposing to put an establishment
called "Rings 'n Things" in Mel Worth's Star -A -Way building. The proposal
would be for a 11000 square foot area for a jewelry store and gift shop.
According to Monticello City Ordinances, a jewelry store is allowed as a
permitted use within a E3-4 zone, but not within a E3-3 zone, and it would be
necessary to amend the ordinances to allow this use within a Ei-3 zone.
A their last meeting of the Planning Commission, this item was subject of
a blit hearing, and the Planning Commission received no objections rela-
tiv to this matter. The Planning Commission unanimously voted to recom-
mend proval of the ordinance amendment.
(� POSSI3 ACTION: Consideration of approval or derds3 of ordinance amendment
to allow jewelry stores as a permitted use within a B-3 zone.***

***According to Monticello City Ordinances, a 4/518 vote of the Council
will be required to approve those items.

8. Consideration of Approval of Development Agreement with Oakwood Industrial
Park Partnership relative to Dundas Road.
Enclosed, please find a proposed development agreement for the street grading,
ditch excavation and appurtenant work for Dundas Road in the Oakwood Indus-
trial Park in Monticello.
This development agreement is similar to the one that was approved by the
City Council of Monticello with Marvin George for the improvement of
Balboul Estates. However, there are some significant changes which are
as follows:
1. Developer in this case will primarily be doing street grading, and not
putting in the entire utility system.
2. Proposed agreement indicates that building permits will not be issued
until the City has ordered Dundee, Road to be improved with sewer,
water and blacktop. This provision is consistent with the City's
policy relative to the issuance of building permits. In the case
of Marvin George's Balboul Estates, the actual development agreement
called for the entire utility system along with the street improvements
to be put in at the same time.
3. As approved by the Monticello City Council, the actual cost of construc-
tion including indirect costs will be credited towards the City's
requirement of an advance deposit at ths,. time the City of Monticello
orders further improvements to Dundee Road for street improvements
and sewer and water extensions.
Copies of this agreement have been sent to the Oakwood Industrial Park
Partnership and to our City Engineer for review.
POSSIBLE AC'fIONs Consideration of approval or denial of development
agreement with any one.
REFUENCES: Development agreement.
9. Consideration of Conditional Use Permit for Ambulance Garage - Monticello-
Bia Lake Commnity Hospital.
Monticello—Big lake Community Hospital has requested a conditional use permit
to allow the construction of an ambulance garage which would be built
to the east of the current hospital on hospital property. According to
Monticello City ordinances Section 10-10-4(8), Hospitals are a conditional
use within an P—B Zone. As o result, any additions or any facilities
related to a hospital are required to go through the conditional use
process.
At the request of the Hospital, the Planning Commission will be holding a
special meeting on October 23, 1978 at 5s00 P.M. just prior to the City
Council's meeting. It should be mentioned that the public hearing for a
` conditional use permit is held at the Planning Commission level and a report
(l will be available to the City Council on this matter.
- 6 -
Council Agenda - 10/23/78
According to the Hospital, it is necessary to have the ambulance adjacent
to the Hospital since it did take over the ambulance service which was
previously located in Big Lake.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of approval or denial of conditional use
permit request.*+*
10. Consideration of Allocation of Anti -Recession Fiscal Assistance Fund.
Monticello has received $29317.00 in Anti -Recession Fiscal Assistance
Funds in 1978. These fluids are received from the Federal Government
and the purpose of the funds is to distribute to local governmental
units funds which are based upon the governmental unit's rate of unemploy-
ment and allocation of federal revenue sharing dollars. The greater the
unemployment and the greater the federal revenue sharing dollars received,
the greater the amount of the anti -recession fiscal assistance funds.
A requirement of a recipient of these funds is that they be appropriated
to maintain basic services. In the past, the City of Monticello has used
these funds in the general fund to defray the cost of general administra-
tive salaries. This in turn then will reduce the amount of property taxes
to be paid by the taxpayers in the City of Monticello for the general fund
expenditures. Again, I would recommend that the City of Monticello
allocate the anti -recession fiscal assistance funds towards general fund
administration salaries.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of allocation of anti -recession fiscal
assistance funds in the amount of $2,317.00 received
in 1978.
11. Consideration of Ordinance Amendment Relative to the Use of Banners,
Pennants and Similar Devices.
According to Monticello City Ordinances (copy enclosed), search lights,
banners, pennants and similar devices are only allowed under the auspices
of a temporary use permit. As you might recall, this item came up at the
City Council's last meeting and it was decided to table it for further
action until the next agenda.
There are at least two businesses in the City that would be in violation
of the current ordinance as it now stands. These businesses are Teslow
Auto Sales and Larry Flake's Monticello Ford site, (it should be noted
that there are pennants at the old Monticello Ford site, but these will
be required to be taken down since it's no longer a bona fide business.)
Arguments obviously could be made for and against the ordinance, and it
would be my fooling that the best way to resolve it is to allow the
existing businesses that hove these types of devices to remain. Any new
business or other business that wants to add additional devices of this
nature would be subject to the ordinance, and would still have the right
to apply for a variance from the provisions.
***According to Monticello City Ordinances, a 4/5's vote of the Council
will be required to approve this item.
- 7 -
��y Council Agenda - 1023/78
Other�alte�Pt fives, of course, could include amending the ordinance in some
1UU Pashion, for example, to allow banners, pennants and &Lrrdlar devices for
v car dealerships, but to continue the requirement of a temporary use permit
for a search light or another alternative would be to delete the section
completely.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of granting a variance to existing businesses
' having search lights, banners, etc., or amending the ordin-
ance or enforcing the ordinance against any business in
violation of the ordinance.
�1 BUEUNCE: Copy of ordinance section enclosed.
12. Consideration of Ourb-Barrier for Monticello City Maintenance Building.
Fhclosed, please find a report from Public Works Director, Mike Rajala,
relative to a request at a recent Council meeting as to curbing at the
Monticello Maintenance Building.
After reviewing the site with the Public Works department, I would recommend
that the City at this time only curb the portion included in the report
by Mike Rajala. According to the report, this would cost approximately
$1,734. If any additional area were to be curbed, it would require the area to
be filled in and a black top mat put in, since the only area that now has
a blacktop mat is directly to the south of the building.
Although the City does now require a permanent concrete curb barrier of all
new businesses, it should be pointed out that .this site was previously
occupied by another business at which time there was no curb barrier.
However, at the same time, the City did add a new Maintenance Building to
the site. The City hes previously allowed contractors working on City
improvement projects to utilize this site for the storage of their equip-
ment. It would appear to me that once the present projects are completed,
this practice should be terminated and we could allow any new contractor
to either find hie own site or to utilize the large area out at the City's
water reservoir building which is an industrial zone more appropriate
than the present maintenance building which is a residential zone. As a
result, quite possibly then the City could in a year or so start filling up
the area and the City could have a large area blacktopped or another surface
to control dust along with some additional landscaping to blend in with
the residential character of the neighborhood to the oast and southeast.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of curbing the Monticello Maintenance
Building.

RE: Proposed Planned Unit Development (PUD) - Monticello
I-94 Tri -Plaza
We think this plan could be accepted as adequate for the
concept stage of the PUD taking into consideration the
alterations indicated on the sketch overlay. One of the
parcels (Parcel A) in the development has no public
access and because of this the entire development must
remain under single ownership. The development must be
platted as a single lot.
There should be provided by the developer, before
development stage is acted upon, a lighting plan
indicating continuity with a light specification cut, a
complete landscaping plan indicating type and size of
plant materials, a signage plan, a grading and utility
pian, and a continuity of building material statement
(for example: dark brick facade, etc.)
The following are suggestions concerning the PUD layout
accompanied by the enclosed sketch overlay:
1. Bions must be located with the following criteria
in mind:
a. one (nylon per lot allowed,
b, must not be placed in the front yard area
(30 feet)(FYOnt Yard being defined as any
and all sides fronting on Public right-of-
way)r
C. must not be placed less then five feet from
parking and drives.
2. Curb radius should lie installed where indicated
on the plan to facilitate traffic movement
(15 foot and 25 foot radius).
13 October 1978
Mr. Gary Wieber, City Administrator
Members of the Planning Commission Page Two
11
3. Entrance curb cuts should be no wider than 30 feet.
4. The parking island that splits the entrance to
the service station and McDonald's should move
forward creating two,well defined, 30 foot
entrance drives (also creates two more parking
stalls) .
S. The easterly entrance to the pizza establishment
should have a curved parking island to direct
traffic easily into the parking area.
6. Additional traffic control islands have been drawn
around the McDonald's building to show how the
drive -up facility should operate.
We think this project will work well and be a good addition
to the City of Monticello.
Sincerely,
HOWARD DAIILGREN ASSOCIATES, INC.

COST ESTIMATE FOR CURBING MAINTEf1ANCE r
BUILDING PARKING LOT
The estimated cost to construct curb/gutter around the
existing blocktopped section of the maintenance building
parking lot is $1,734.00. This estimate does not include the
costs incurred if curb/gutter were extended beyond the mat
completely around the island south of the building. This
section of curb/gutter and bituminous surface could be
appropriately constructed when the lot is eventually brought
up to final grade, thereby, minimizing any "warping or
piecing in" required for final landscaping and insuring
continuity in terms of complete drainage. Drainage for this
entire area would be provided for by the future construction
of the Chestnut Street storm drainage facilities.
The city can continue to utilize the maintenance building
lot as a work area for stuck piling gravel, salt/sand mix and
street sweepings. Also delaying any parties additional curb/
gutter construction and bituminous surfacing will allow the
city latitude in making decisions concerning the future of
this site.
The breakdown of the coats for this construction are as

REGULAR MING
MONTICELLO CITY COUNCIL
October 10, 1978 - 7:30 P.M. /
Z
Members present: C. 0. Johnson, Dan Blonigen, Arve Grimsmo, Gene Walters,
Philip White
Citizens Comments:
Mr. John Leerssen and Francis Klein asked the Council if some sort of
maintenance couldn't be done on the North-South portion of Chelsea Road
in the Oakwood Industrial Park that was previously in Monticello Township.
Mr. Leerssen indicated that no maintenance had been performed on that
portion of the gravel road and requested that something be done in the near
future.
The Public Works Director informed the Council and Mr. Klein and Mr. Leerssen
that the road was scheduled to receive a Class 5 base along with some grading
within a week or two. The property owners were also informed that during
the winter of 1978-79, City crews will be plowing this portion of Chelsea
Road.
1. Public Hearing - Variance Request from Parking Wt Curb Barrier Requirements -
Silver Fox Motel.
CMr. Fd Larson, part owner of the Silver Fox Motcl, requested a variance to
allow the elimination of curb barriers around his truck parking lot. Mr.
Larson indicated that the elimination of the curb barrier requirements in
this area would allow for more maneuverability of the semi -trailers to get
in and out of the parking lot, especially during the busy season. Mr. Larson
also stated that the curb barriers recently installed have been damaged
by the heavy trucks running over them.
Council discussion concerned the possibility that this would set a precedent
for other variances of a similar nature, and a suggestion was made that
possibly his parking lot for truck parking should be enlarged if they need
that much space to maneuver.
Motion was made by D. Blonigen, seconded by A. Grimsmo to grant the variance
request eliminating the parking barriers around the truck parking lot.
Voting in favar - D. Blonigen and A. Grimamo. Opposed - C. 0. Johnson,
G. Walters, P. White. Variance request denied.
2. Public Hearing - Variance Request from Parking Lot Hard -surface Requiremento -
Mr. Bob Rasmussen.
Mr. Bob Rasmussen made an application for a variance to allow him to install
a new driveway for his present auplax off of County Road 759 with only a
Class 5 driveway for up to 24 months.
L
Minutes - 10/10/78
Mr. Rasmussen indicated that the reason for the request was that his former
parking area for the duplex was located off of New Street, but with the new
curb and gutter, there would not be enough room to allow for a garage to be
built, so now he is requesting his driveway to come off of Broadway.
City ordinances require that all parking areas including driveways to be
hard surfaced with concrete or bituminous surfacing. Mr. Rasmussen did
indicate that he plans on building a garage within the next year, and would
like a variance on the hard -surfacing of the driveway to coincide with
the building of a garage.
Motion was made by P. White, seconded by D. Blonigen and unanimously carried
to grant a variance from the hard -surfacing of Mr. Rasmussen's new driveway
until his garage is built, or a 12 month time limit.
3. Consideration of Approval of Plans and Specifications for Marvin George's
Balboul Estates.
At a previous Council Meeting, the City Council authorized the consulting
City Fhgineer, O.S.M., to prepare plans and specifications for sewer, water,
stormsewer, street paving and appurtenant work for Mr. Marvin George's Balboul
Estates. Mr. George had previously asked that the plans and specifications
be prepared in order for himself to install the improvements in Balboul
Estates, rather than the City.
John Badalich, City Digineer, informed the Council that the estimated cost
of the improvements would be $162,000.
CAn Agreement between the City of Monticello and Mr. Marvin George regarding
Balboul Estates has been prepared indicating the developer will pay 100,E of
the improvement costs, and would provide a bond or a letter of credit
estimated at lar times the construction costs, payable in favor of the City
of Monticello. In addition, the Agreement provides that 17% of the estimated
construction costs be deposited with the City in the form of cash before any
work is started. This 17% deposit would be for the estimated cost of engin-
eering services, inspection services, administrative costs and legal costs, etc.
Mr. George asked the Council whether or not he could start any buildings on
this property before Lha improvements were completed, and asked that the
contract between the City and himself be changed to allow for issuance of
building permits prior to Lha completion with the understanding that the
homes could not be occupied until a certificate of occupancy was issued by
the Building Inspector.
Motion was made by P. White, seconded by A. Crimsmo and unanimously carried
to approve the plans and specifications as presented along with a development
agreement between Mr. Marvin George and the City of Monticello providing for
a letter of credit in the amount of li times the estimated construction cost
of $162,000 along with a deposit paid to the City in the amount of 17% of
the $162,000 cost. Additionally, paragraph 2, page 1 of the contract would
be amended to provide for issuance of building permits prior to completion of
the project with the certificate of occupancies needed before any buildings
Ccould be occupied. (See supplement 10-10-78 al)

Minutes - 1011(,178
4. Consideration of 1973-79 Maintenance Agreements on County State Aid Highways.
Maintenance agreements for County State Aid Highways located within the
City limits of Monticello were presented for approval. The agreements called
for a reimbursement figure of $723.96 per mile for 1978, and $839.23 for 1979.
The County State Aid Highway mileage will increase from 3.376 miles to 3.920
miles as a result of the changeover and redesignation of Walnut Street as a
County State Aid Highway.
Motion was made by A. Grimsmo, seconded by D. Blonigen and unanimously carried
to approve the maintenance contracts with Wright County. (See supplement
10-10-73 #2)
5. Consideration of Sale of Off -Sale Liquor Store.
At a previous Council Meeting, the decision was made to consider the possi-
bility of selling the Off -Sale Liquor Store. Council members have been
studying the feasibility and financial aspects of selling the Liquor Store
vs. continuing the operation as a City -owned operation. Council members
were informed that there was some concern as to whether the revenue bonds
currently outstanding against the Liquor Store in the amount of $1809000
could be paid off if the store was sold, or if an escrow account would have
to be established which could not earn interest for the City. Discussion
by the Council centered on the aspect that the City would more than likely
lose revenue if the store was sold, and could not earn the estimated
$50,000 profit that the store now contributes to the City.
Based on primarily the financial aspects, motion was made by G. Walters,
seconded by P. White and unanimously carried to no longer pursue the
sale of the Municipal Off -Sale Liquor Store.
6. Consideration of Allocation of Funds for the Senior Citizens Center.
An arrangement previously approved by the City Council was to pay one-half
of the hourly salary of $2.30 to the individuals who actually operate the
Information Conter, and the other ono -half would be built up in a reserve
fund which could be utilized upon request by the Senior Citizens Center,
provided it was approved by the City Council.
Senior Citizens Center Director, Karen Hanson, requested that the City
Council now allocate these funds totaling approximately $780.00 to the
Senior Citizens Center for use towards the Center's share of a Title V
Orant, that they have received for the handicapped bathrooms. In addition,
the Center requested that the remaining amount be allocated towards the
$300.00 cash requirement that the Center has to pay on the Title Ili Grant
they were recently awarded.
Motion was made by G. Walters, seconded by D. Blonigen and unanimously
carried to allocate the reserve funds built up to the Senior Citizens
Center in the amount of approximately $780.00.

Plaza 25.
Notion was made by G. Walters, seconded by A. Grimsmo and unanimously carried
to approve the Surveyor's Certificate of Correction for Commercial Plaza 25,
indicating that the Minnesota Registration # was not on the ori nal plat

S. Consideration cf Approval of Plans and Specifications for Dundas Road in
Oakwood Industrial Park.
A previous Council Meeting indicated approval to the City Engineering Firm
to prepare Plans and Specifications for upgrading Dundas Road in the
Oakwood Industrial Park for the Oakwood Corporation.
Mr. John Badalich, City E)ngineer, presented plans and specifications for
improving Dundas Road with a gravel type base and drainage with an estimated
cost of $46,425. The improvements would be constructed by the Oakwood
Corporation themselves, with the construction costs being applied to the
25% deposit requirement when future sewer and water improvements are installed
along Dundas Road.
Motion was made by P. White, seconded by G. Walters and unanimously carried
to approve the plans and specifications for Dundas Road and to present the
plans and specifications to the developer so that an agreement between
the G:ty of Monticello and Oakwood Industrial Park Partnership can be
prepared by next meeting.
C9. Consideration of Variances on Curb -cut Oocninrss for Viva Jean Abrahamson
and Mike Frkle.
Ms. Viva Jean Abrahamson who lives on Linn Street between River and Front
Street requested two curb -cut openings, one of 18' and another of appro-
ximately 30. Mrs. Abrahamson recently added a parcel of land to her
existing lot, and Mrs. Abrahamson thought that the City would grant her
one curb -cut opening for the new parcel in addition to one opening on her
:'ormer lot. As part of the curb and gutter project, an 18' openinC wos
put on the added parcel, but none was constructed on her former existing
parcel.
Notion was made by P. White, seconded by A. Grimsmo and unanimously carried
to allow Ms. Abrahamson an additional 18' curb -cut opening provided she
pays for all costs over the original 18' approach.
Mr. Mike Erkle who is purchasing the house at the corner of Wright and
River Streets was given two curb -cut openings, one of approximately 18' for
h1s garage and another of approximately 12' for use as parL of a U-shaped
driveway. This curb -cut opening arrangement was approved by the former
owner, which at that time was in an estate, and Mr. Erkle now requested
he be given a wider curb -cut opening in order that the U-shaped driveway
would both have a separato entrance and exit. As the openings are now
situated, it appears that the U-shaped driveway could not be used if cars
were sitting in front of the garage.
A
Minutes - 10/10/78
Motion was made by P. 'White, seconded by A. Grimsmo and unanimously
carried to grant an additional approach of approximately 15' provided
that Mr. Erkle pays all costs for the new approach and the cost of
the removal of existing curb.
10. Consideration of Approval of Sten II Grant Offer from State of MLmesota
for Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Motion was made by P. White, seconded by G. Walters and unanimously carried
to adopt a resolution accepting the State of Minnesota's Grant Offer on
Wastewater Treatment Plant Step II funds in the amount of $24,915.
(See Resolution 1976 #14).
11. Consideration of Extending Tine Period for Mandatory Sewer Hook -Up for
those Parcels Served on the 1975-1 Imorovement Prolect.
Monticello City ordinances require that parcels served with Sanitary
Sewer be required to hook-up within three years after such service is
available. The 1975-1 Sewer & Water Improvement Project which went
out to such areas as Ritze Manor and Hillcrest Addition would be required
to be hooked up by October 15, 1976.
Many of the parcels served with sewer trunk lines have indicated that they
are having a rough time trying to line up a contractor to hook them up by
October 15, 1976. five property owners have already indicated that they
are having trouble getting their contractor to put in the service,
therefore, a motion was made by G. Walters, seconded by P. White and
unanimously carried to extend the deadline for sewer hook-ups on the '75-1
Improvement Project until July 15, 1979.
12. Approval of Minutes.
The Minutes of the Council meetLigs held September 25th and October 2nd,
1973, were approved as presented.
lj. Consideration of Variance from Certificate of Occupancy Requirements -
Wrirht County State Hank.
The Wright County State Dank requested a variance on the provisions of the
Certificate of Occupancy requiring all landscaping to be completed prior
to occupancy. The Company doing the landscaping for the Bank property has
indicated that a later fall planting of shrubbery is more desirable than
planting at the present time. Building Inspector, Loren Klein, also informed
the Council that other Certificate of Occupancy variances have been
granted similar to this request and other property owners have indicated a
desire to wait until approximately November lot before installing shrubbery,
etc.
As o result, a motion was made by D. Blonigan, seconded by P. White and
unanimously carried to approve a certificate of occupancy variance on
Minutes - 10/10/78
r the landscaping for the Wright County State Bank provided a bond is pre-
sented to the City and also approve a blanket variance until November 1st,
1978 for the completion of landscaping, etc., for others who have pre-
viously
ro-viously applied for variance extensions.
14. Quarterly Deuartment Head Meeting.
The Council conducted its quarterly department head meeting with the
following department heads:
Public Works Director - Mike Rajala
Building Inspector - Loren Klein
Liquor Store Manager - Mark Irmiter
Wright County Sheriff's Dept. - Don Hoze pa & Jim Powers
Senior Citizens Director - Karen Hanson
Fire Chief - Paul Klein
The Council discussed with Public Works Director, Mike Rajala, the
landscaping at the new maintenance building. It was the Council's con-
sensus to have City Fhgincer, John Badalich, and Public Works Director,
Mike Rajala, bring back to the Council a report in two weeks on the
estimated cost for installing a permanent curb around the parking area
at the maintenance building.
In discussions with the Building Inspector, it was the consensus of the
Council to place on a future Council agenda the question of whether
small advertising flags and spinners, etc., used by car dealers should
be allowed. Current City ordinances do not allow this type of advertising,
but it was noted that some car dealers in Monticello are currently using
this approach.
Mr. Jim Powers,of the Wright County Sheriff's Department, asked that the
City Council consider possibly additional patrolling hours for 1979.
Currently, the City has 16 hours of patrol per day with an additional
8 hours on Friday and Saturday. Mr. Powers felt that with the increased
population and business activity, additional patrolling may help in
controlling traffic speeding, etc.
By Council consensus, Councilmen Blonigczk and Crimsmo will be meeting with
the Sheriff's Department to discuss the possibility of increasing tho hours
of protection for 1979.
Senior Citizens Director, Karen Hanson, informed the Council that the Senior
Citizens Center has been awarded two Grants, one for equipment and one for
handicapped bathrooms.
It was also the consensus of the Council to install a new sidewalk at the
Senior Citizens Center from the existing entrance to the south side of the
building parking lot.
