Public Hearing - Consideration of a Resolution to Order Plans and Specifi- cations on the Extension of Sanitary Sewer, Water and Street improvements - Prairie Road. PURPOSE: Since this project, which was reviewed at the City Council's last meeting, is proposed to be assessed under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429, a public hearing is necessary to allow input from all proposed property owners to be assessed. Although a copy of the feasibility report was handed out at the last meeting, a copy is again enclosed for your reference. Primary concern will most likely be the estimated assessments, which are as follows: PARCELS TYPE OF IMPROVEMENT ESTIMATED COST Lots 16-19, Blk 4 Sewer 6 Water Services Only $1,950 per lot Lot 3, Blk 5 Lots 1-6, Blk 6 MEADOWS PLAT Lots 20-23, Blk 4 Sewer, Water 6 Street Improvement $5,053.55 per lot MEADOWS PLAT and Service Connection Loi 2», DIK 4 Sewer, water a Street and $5,386.15 MEADOWS PLAT Service Connection Unplatted Parcel Sewer, Water, Street and $19,881.60 entire parcel Owned by Mr. B Mrs. four (4) service connections Don Christopher These assessments total $61,081.95, which is the total cost of the improve- ment project estimated by our engineering firm. As you may recall, at our last meeting the developer, Mel Wolters, and his real estate agent, Ralph Munsterteiger, indicated that they may contract privately for the lots that only need service connections for the Meadows Addition. if the City Council does adopt a resolution to have plans and specifications prepared by our engineer for this project, it should be determined beforehand whether these service connections will be part of the project. It should be mentioned that i have talked to Mr. 6 Mrs. Don Christopher, and have indicated to them the estimated assessment on their parcel. Mr. 6 Mrs. Christopher expressed concern with the cost of the improvement since Mr. Christopher is quite ill at this time and they were unsure of their financial capability of paying for such an improvement project. M COUNCIL AGEiIDA - 5/27/80 V � \� Ralph Munsterteiger had indicated to me that he was aware of the b Christopher's concern and that he was considering the possibility of making \� a proposal to the Christophers of purchasing a portion of their land to 11 diminish the financial impact. POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of a resolution to have plans and specifi- cations prepared for the improvement project and determination made whether such plans, if approved, would include those lots in the Meadows Addition which would only require sewer and water service connections. REFERENCES: Copy of the feasibility report prepared by John Badalich. Also, memorandum on additional information enclosed. Public Hearinq on the Consideration of a Variance for a Zero -Lot Line and a Variance from the Minimum Lot Size in an R-2 Zone - Quintin Lanners. PURPOSE: Consideration of request made by Mr. Quintin Lanners for two variances, one to have a zero lot line and the second to obtain a variance from the minimum size lot in an R-2 zone. Mr. Lanners proposes to build a duplex on the south ; of Lot 3, and the south I of Lots 4 8 5, Block 38, Lower Monticello. In its entirety, the property contains 13,600 square feet. It should be pointed out that the lot size is of sufficient size to meet the standards of a normal type of duplex, however, Mr. Lanners proposes to sell each portion of the duplex rather than merely rent it out. This type ^f zpprcrc` IS bai„g U&uj iii ,everai otner communities in the State of Minnesota, and has become quite common. In some respects, it is similar to acondominium for two family dwelling, however, there is a distinction in that each owner has a specific parcel of land in addition to an equity position. A declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions, copy of which Is enclosed, would be recorded along with the property. These covenants and restrictions are for the purpose of protecting the value, desirability, etc. of that real estate, and to cover the interests of the parties who have an equity position in the described property. These covenants will continue on the property regardless of transfer of ownership. For example, it states who would share in the repair and maintenance expense, and deals with other spe- cific topics which are pertinent to the maintenance of that property. John Uban, with Howard Dahlgren Associates, has dealt with this similar issue in some of the communities he has worked with in the Metro area, and feels In fact that the City, in the future, could allow this on a permitted use basis, as long as the covenants were part of the proposal. if this type of development becomes commonplace in the City of Monticello, possibly an ordinance amendment could be enacted rather than to deal with each issue on a variance basis. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: At their last meeting, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the variance for a zero lot line and a variance from the City's minimum lot standard for the R-2 zone of 10,000 square feet. One adjacent property owner, who was present at the meeting, indicated he had no particular objections after he heard the pro- posal In its entirety. - 2 - COUNCIL AGENDA - 5/27/80 POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of approval or denial of variances requested for a zero lot line and the creation of two lots, each of which would be less than the City's 10,000 square foot minimum requirement in an R-2 zone.* REFERENCES: Copy of the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions 8 Restrictions, etc., Plat Plan showing the proposed development, map depicting area in which property is located and Planning Commission Minutes of 5/20/80. 3. Consideration of an Ordinance Amendment to Allow Consiqnment Auction Sales and/or Auction Sales within a B-3 Zone. PURPOSE: Asa result of a request by Bob Davis (see next agenda item) to operate an auction sales facility, an ordinance amendment is necessary to allow such a use within the zoning ordinances themselves. For your informa- tion, unlessa specific use is spelled out within the ordinances, there is a provision which prohibits any such type of use. In order to better control such a use, a proposal was presented to the Planning Commission at their last meeting which would make an auction sales facility a "Conditional Use" within a B-3 zone. By amending the ordinance in this fashion and allowing such a use as a conditional use, the City of Monticello would still retain control through the establishment of various conditions. The conditions that were proposed to the Planning Commission at their last meptinn warp ac fnllnwc: A. The architectural appearance and function -plan of the building and site shall not be so dissimilar to the existing buildings or area as to cause impairment in property values or constitute a blighting influence within a reasonable distance of the lot. B. At the boundaries of residential districts, a strip of not less than 5' shall be landscaped and screened in compliance with Ordinance Section 10.3-2-(G) of this Ordinance. C. Any 1 ight standard islands and all islands in the parking lot shall be landscaped or covered. D. Parking areas shall be screened from view of abutting residential districts in compliance with Ordinance Section 10-3-2-(G) of this Ordinance. E. Parking areas and driveways shall comply with Monticello Ordinance 10.3- 5-(D) . F. Vehicular access points shall be limited, shall create a minimum of conflict through traffic movements, shall comply with Ordinance Section 10-3-5 of this Ordinance, and shall be subject to the approval of the City Engineer. G. All lighting shall be hooded and so directed that the light source is not visible from the public right-of-way or from an abutting residence, and shall be in compliance with Section 10-3-2-(H) of this Ordinance. *Variances require 4/5's vote for approval . - 3 - COUNCIL AGENDA - 5/27/80 N. The entire area shall have drainage system which is subject to the approval of the City Engineer. I. All signing and information or visual communication devices shall be in compliance with Ordinance Section 10-3-9. J. The provisions of Ordinance Section 10-22-1-(E) of this Ordinance are considered and satisfactorily met. K. All conditions pertaining to a specific site are subject to change when the Council, upon investigation in relation to a formal request, finds that the general welfare and public betterment can be served as well or better by modifying the conditions. L. Outside sales areas are fenced or screened from view of neighboring residential uses or abutting residential districts in compliance with Section 10-3-2-(G) of this Ordinance. M. Outside sales connected with the principal use is limited to 30% of the gross floor area of the principal building. This percentage may be increased as a condition of the conditional use permit. N. Outside Sales areas may not take up parking space as required for conformity to the ordinance requirement. 0. No pets or livestock may be sold at this auction sales facility. P. Provisions must be made to control and reduce noise when adjacent to a residential zoning district. Q. Ail outside storage shall be effectively screened from public view in accordance with Monticello Ordinance Section 10-3-2-(G), and limited to 10% of the gross floor area of the principal use building. In addition to the establishment of conditions for such a use, one other concern was relative to the parking. Although the current ordinance does not allow auction sales as either a permitted or conditional use within any zoning section, part of the zoning ordinance dealing with parking alludes to requirements for skating rinks, dance halls or public auction houses and the number of spaces that are required. Loren Klein, our zoning adminis- trator, reviewed this section in light of the three uses mentioned, and also in light of Bob Davis's proposal in the next agenda item, and felt the ordinance should be amended since a building of 2,400 square feet would only need 21 parking spaces, when the occupant load in that building could be possibly as high as 162 spaces. As a result, Loren Klein proposed to the Planning Commission a formula which would essentially require one parking space for each 40 square feet of building area, and as a result, a 2,400 square foot building would require 60 parking spaces. Additionally, this appears more in line with the parking that has been provided by the roller rink, although at the time, less restrictive ordinance was still in effect, but the roller rink chose to provide additional parking spaces because of need. - 4 - COUNCIL AGENDA - 5/21/80 PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: At their last meeting, the Planning Commission, hearing no objections on the proposed ordinance amendments, voted unanimously to recommend an ordinance amendment be adopted to allow such a use within a B-3 zone as a conditional use with the conditions men- tioned above and the parking ordinance revised so that such a use would require one parking space for each 40 square feet of building area. POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of approval or denial of ordinance amend- ment to allow a consignment auction sales and/or auction sales facility within a B-3 zone, along with the conditions referenced above and a revision to the Monticello City Ordinance relative to parking for such a use along with skating rinks and dance halls, requiring one parking space for each 40 square feet of building area.* REFERENCES: Planning Commission Minutes of 5/20/80. 4. Public Hearinq on the Consideration of a Variance from Monticello Ordinances Relative to Off -Street Parking and a Conditional Use Request for an Auction Sales Facility - Robert Davis. PURPOSE: As mentioned in the previous item, Robert Davis, who owns the property across the street to the west of Heskins Electric on Oakwood Dr. has made an application for a conditional use permit so that he may abLaoi ibis an oucLiun saleb faCiiiLy of Lhe Type LIIdL ib V,Jyosc. In the ordinance amendment in the previous item, along with variance request not to require this proposed parking area to be hardsurfaced or curb and guttered. Obviously, this request is predicated upon the approval by the City Council of an ordinance amendment to allow such use in the first place. Bob Davis has a building that is approximately 2,400 to 2,500 square feet, and as a result, if the above formula were revised for parking in the previous agenda item, approximately 60 parking spaces would be required. However, Mr. Davis has indicated that since he is just starting out in this particular business venture, he would like to have a period of one- year in which to determine whether the business were successful to warrant the financial investment into a parking lot that could cost him somewhere in the vicinity of $30,000. Mr. Davis indicated he would be willing to post a bond in the interim for ley times the engineer's estimate of such an improvement. According to Monticello City Ordinance Section 10-23-4. variances are to be based on factors other than an economic hardshi p situation. However, our Planner, John Uban, indicated that the variance still may merit con- sideration since Mr. Davis indicated that currently he is only open Friday nights from 7 to 10 P.M. This is only three hours out of the week out of a possible 168 hours, and when one considers the variances granted for Trinity Lutheran Church to develop their park ing lot and not require hardsurfacing, it would be consistent. As the auc tion house is open for more hours and this could be reviewed at the end of the one-year requested or further extension granted, City Council at that time could require the area to be hardsurfaced and curb and guttered. 'Ordinance Amendments require 4/5's vote for approval - 5 - COUNCIL AGENDA - 5/27/80 One concern expressed at the Planning Commission meeting was with parking along Oakwood Drive that may occur if sufficient space, although maybe not requiring hardsurfacing right away, would not be available. Mr. Davis indicated that the cars now attending his auction are parking on his property and he has had as many as 63 cars. He has indicated that only on a few occasions have some of the individuals parked on the County Road, but this was earlier in the year when the frost had not gone out of the ground yet. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS: At their last meeting, the Planning Commission, after reviewing the ordinance amendment in the previous item and applying it against Mr. Davis's property and also reviewing the variances requested, recommended to the Council that the conditional use and the variances be granted. POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of a conditional use permit to operate a consignment auction sales facility and a variance from the Monticello City Ordinance requiring all parking areas to be hardsurfaced and curb and guttered (this variance is being requested for one year, and as Mr. Davis indicated, he would be willing to post such a bond).• REFERENCES: Enclosed map depicting area, Planning Commission Minutes 5/20/80. 5. Consideration of a Simple Subdivision - Kenneth Larson. piippncr• A ran PO hac hppn maAp by Mr. Kenneth Larson for a simple subdivi- sion of property. Mr. Larson owns the east 51' of Lot 6 and all of Lots 7 8 8, Block 32 in Lower Monticello. This parcel contains 30,195 square feet, and Mr. Larson proposes to divide these lots, which currently run in a north/ south direction, into two lots which run in an east/west direction. Each of the two lots would be approximately 82'-5' x 183', or 15,0971p sq. ft. This would far exceed the City's minimum 10,000 square foot requirement for an R-2 zone, and each lot would exceed the City's requirement in terms of width, or 80'. One possible use of this lot would be for the relocation of the current home owned by the Monticello Clinic to be possibly purchased and moved to this site to accommodate a new medical clinic just east of the Hospital. However, at the Planning Commission's last meeting, a request for moving this home was postponed by the applicant. However, Mr. Larson would still like to proceed with the subdivision of this particular parcel since he intends to create the two lots as previously outlined. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: At their last meeting, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of such a simple sub- division. contingent upon Mr. Larson providing the City of Monticello with a certificate of survey and proof of recording of the same. POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of approval or denial of subdivision request. REFERENCES: Enclosed map depicting area of lots 8 Planning Comm.

Consideration of Appointment of Council Members to an Ad Hoc Ccmnittee to Establish a New Joint Powers Agreement with Monticello School District #882 for a Joint Recreation Program. As a result of a comment in the State Auditor's report, the City of Monticello and the School District of Monticello should have a written agreement relative to the summer recreation program being provided by both parties. Additionally, in talking to Duane Gates, Community Development Director, and Shelly Johnson and in light of past budget approvals by the Council relative to this item, it has been suggested that a committee be established to pre- pare a proposal on a joint recreation program between the two bodies, rather than just merely writing a joint powers agreement to cover the existing conditions, since each body would have an opportunity to get input into revising an entirely new agreement. In talking to Duane Gates, he has mentioned this to School District's Joint Advisory Board on Community Education, of which one of their functions is joint recreation, and also Shelly Johnson, School Superintendent, and every- one felt that the idea was good at this time to sit down and take a philosophical approach to this item. As a result, Duane has indicated that the Joint Advisory Board on Community Education has appointed two members to this ad hoc committee should it develop. it was anticipated that the School District also will appoint two members and the City appoint two members so that there would be a total composition of this committee of six members. This committee would be ad hoc in that its function would be specific and not an a on-going or standing committee. Their assigned task would be to develop e;reement hotwpen the School District and the City of Monticello for such a joint recreation program. It is anticipated that this Committee could come back to the City Council and School Board with the proposed agreement within 30 to 45 days. POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of appointment of two Counc it members to serve on the above -referenced ad hoc committee. 7. Consideration of Award of a Contract for Garbage Disposal and Removal. PURPOSE: To award a contract for garbage disposal service to commence August 1 , 1980. As you recall at our last meeting, the City Council approved the proposed contracts to be bid for garbage disposal service for Monticello. Bids are to be accepted on Tuesday, May 27, 1980 at 2:00 P.t4., and the bids ill be tabulated along with a recommendation to the City Council as to Ir the award at Tuesday night's meeting. \ POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of awarding a one or three-year contract for garbage disposal service on a once or twice -weekly pick up service. \ REFERENCES: A list of bids will be submitted at Tuesday ni ght's meeting. Cis' COUNCIL AGENDA - 5/21/80 8. Review of Engineer's Progress and the Allocation of Chemical Feed Equipment —i r-+ This item has been under unfinished business for several times in the past and has been listed as the Wrightco Report. Purpose of this item is to have our engineer prepare an allocation of costs on the chemical feed equipment purchased and completed by September of 1979 at a cost of $16,646.28 for capitol outlay costs plus engineering fees. it was proposed by the Council to allocate this cost along with continuous chemical cost between the City of Monticello and Wrightco Products, the City's only classified industrial user according to EPA standards. It was primarily because of Wrightco that such chemical feed equipment was installed at the Wastewater Treatment Plant to reduce the City's effluent level to acceptable standards of the EPA. John Badalich will be able to fill the Council in on the progress of this report and the proposed allocation of costs. it is essential that this be completed as soon as possible since the City is expending money on a daily basis for such chemical costs and desires to bill Wrightco Products its proportionate share, and this, of course will be building up all the time as we go along. My recommendation would be to have this report presented at the next Council meeting on June 9, 1980 and that a report be prepared at least a week in advance in order to allow Jim Ridgeway, with Wrightco Products, an oppor- tunity to review the report with his engineer.

Following is a list of licenses that expire on June 30, 1980: A. Non-Intoxicatinq On -Sale Malt Liquor License (Fee $100j Monticello Rod 8 Gun Club B. Intoxicatinq On -Sale Liquor License (Fee $2,500) Monticello Liquors, inc. Silver Fox Motel Wayside inn Joyner's Lanes 8- COUNCIL AGENDA - 5/27/80 C.

Set -Up License (Fee $100) iko Monticello Country Club E. Club License (Fee $100) 40 American Legion Club VFW Club it should be noted that the Holiday Station Store is a new license request. Additionally, the fees that are noted above in parenthesis are the fees charged during the past year. It should be pointed out in 1979 the State Legislature raised the maximum fee for Club Licenses, which was previously $100, to no limit. However, this was amended during the 1980 Session to allow for a fee of a maximum of $300 for membership up to 200 members; $500 annually for membership from 201 to 500 members. The VFW Club has 170 mamhars And t.hp Amprir.an I.e01on Club 355 members according to their latest applications. Representatives of the VFW and American Legion Club have been notified indicating that there is a possibility that the City Council may, in fact, consider adjusting the license fee at the May 27, 1980 meeting. In regard to the establishment of the other fees, the City of Monticello can establish any fee they see fit, except for a set up license for which the maximum fee may only be $300. It should be pointed out that the fees have not been increased for any of the above licenses since 1975, and it would seem that an increase would be certainly justified. However, the Council may want to consider an adjustment at next year's annual renewal to give license holders adequate advance notice of a proposed increase similar to the one given to the VFW and the American Legion Club on their possible proposed increase. In the past, when licenses for liquor have been renewed, 1 have contacted the Wright County Sheriff's Department to see if there was any particular problems with any of the license holders. The only concern expressed by a representative of the Wright County Sheriff's Department was in the case of license owned by Monticello liquors, Inc. Main concern here was that the closing hours are 1 A.M. and there has been some indication on occasions that the establishment has been open past this hour. However, - 9 - 1 COUNCIL AGENDA - 5/27/80 at the same time, the Wright County Sheriff's representative indicated that he really doesn't have adequate documentation to recommend that they not be given a license. However, if their license is approved, I can notify them of the City's concern and remind them of the hours. Also, I have asked the Wright County Sheriff's Department in the future to document any violations relative to the present liquor license holders. In this manner, the City of Monticello will have better documentation if it were to consider denial of renewal of a license. POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of approval of above licenses and setting of the annual fee for the same. - 10 - r PEAS IBILITY REPORT AND ESTIMATE OF COST FOR PUBLIC INP POVEMENT PROJECT NO. 80-2 CITY OF MONTICELLO, MINNESOTA MAY 12, 1980 TYPE. OF 4?ORK: The general nature of this improvement is the construction of sanitary sewer, water main, bituminous street paving and necessary app>>rtenances in the City of Monticello. II. DESCRIPTION OF IMPROVEMENT The proposed improvement provides for sanitary sewer, water main and street paving on Prairie Road to abutting property between Redman Lane South and Hedman Lane North. These ex- tensions are proposed thru the .intersection of Hedman Lane Horth for future extensions to the west and north so that the intersection will not have to be dug up again. Also sanitary sewer and water main houses services will have to be constructed to Lots 16, .17, 18 and 19, Block 4, Lot 3, Block 5 and Lots 1, 2 and 3, Block G. The Meadows in that these services were not provided at the time BaE lboul states was developed by Marvin George. III. LOCATION The proposed improvement is located on Prairie Road between Wright County Nn. 75 and Hedman Lane North in the Meadows. (See attached Map) IV. LENGTH OF' IMPROVEMEIIT The proposed improvement consists of approximately 700 feet of 10" sanitary sewer, 550 feet of G" water main and 500 foot of bituminous street paving. V. FEASIBIL=TY: Prom an engineering otandpoint, the project is feasible and can best be accomplished a!:3 proposed. V1.

(Parcel 155-500-044 200) Vill. ESTIMATED ASSESSMENT The sanitary sewer and water main laterals will be 1009 assessed against benefited property using a unit or parcel method. A unit or parcel is equal to ono (1) developed single family residential lot or a vacant platted lot which meets the City's minimum lot requirements for a single family dwelling, with a width of at least 80'; or, in the case of an unplatted area, the number of units shall be determined by the number of minimum sized lots, each having 801 frontage on the particular utility Line being constructed that could be obtained by subdividing the property. The street imprOverlunt will be assessed 1008 against the abutting property on a front foutago- basis. t In those lots where we are constructing sanitary sewer and water main house services only, the cost will be assessed 100% aqainst all the lots involved. Total Sanitary Sewer and Water Main Assessable Cost $32,760.00 $32,760.00 - 9 units = $3640.00/Unit Total Street, Assessable Cost $12,720.00 $12,720 - 765' = $16.63/Front Foot Total Sanitary Sewer and Water Main House Services, Only - Assessable Cost $15,600.00 $15,600 - 8 lots = $1950/Lot ESTIMATED ASSESSME14TS PER PARCEL "The Meadows" Addition Lot 16, Block 4 - Services Only 5 1,950.00 Lot 17, Bluvk 4 - Services Only $ 1,950.00 Lot 18, Block 4 - Services Only $ 1,950.00 Lot 19, Block 4 - Services Only $ 1,950.00 C , Lot 20, Block 4 - Sewer, water and Street Lot 21, Block 4 - Sewer, Water and Street $ 5,053.55 $ 5,053.55 Lot 22.

Mr. Munsterteiger, along with Mr. Quintin Lanners. indicated there may be the possibility of purchasing the Christopher Property and developing this area into duplexes similar to the proposal in Agenda Item 02, and also having a portion of the property for multiple family dwellings. This would entail ultimate rezoning of a portion of the parcel from 3 R-1 to R-2 and another portion from R-1 to R-3. Both Mr. Munsterteiger and Mr. Lanners indicated that if the parcel were to be purchased, it would be contingent upon the City of Monticello ultimately rezoning the property to R-2 and R-3 as stated above. Mr. Munsterteiger showed me a proposed layout for the R-2 and R-3 area and 1 believe it has some merit. Mr. Munsterteiger and Mr. Lanners have been in contact with Mr. Christopher and I requested that they have a proposal ready to be presented to the Council at Tuesday night's meeting. Based upon the proposal that is presented at Tuesday night's meeting, the Council may want to defer action on the ordering of plans and specifications until such time as the formal application for rezoning has been submitted to the Council for approval.

K)% Minnesota Pollution Control Agency NUCP MAY 2 2 »9M The Honorable Arve G rimsmo Mayor, City of Monticello 250 East Broadway, City Hall Post Office Box 777 Monticello. Minnesota 55362 Re: Construction Grant Freeze Dear 'payor Grimsmo: President Carter has requested the O.S. Environmental Protec- tion Agency (EPA) to achieve a $192,000,000 out lay reduction In Fiscal Year (FY) 1981 by making program cuts in FY 1980. The EPA has several options by which it could comply with the PrPRident's reou est. They have apparently chosen as the least damaging option the delay of any oblil•ations of ri 1980 funds until at least the beginning of FY 1951 (October 1, 1980). This deferral of using any FY 1980 funds until at least October 1, 1980 will impact numerous projects in lfinnesota. To date, this Agency has not received specific guidance from the EPA on just exactly what the deferral of funds means. We have developed a strategy to mitigate the deferral of funds to the greatest extent possible while still taking Into account the mandatory provision for set aside funAs for innovative, alternative and the small community alternative systems. For your proposed project (C270855-03), it means that there are funds available. Phono�612)296-7205 1935 Wost County Road 82. Rosoville.

The PCA has denied the City a burning permit for its current' disposal site due to its close proximity to a public road and single family dwellings, and the direction of prevailing winds. Rather than direct burial or hand -debarking of all of our shade tree wood, it seems practical to consider taking advantage of the Grant -in - Aid program and purchase a debarking machine and heavy duty splitter and fully utilize all of the wood. The cost of these units is estimated at 117,000, of which the City's share would be 88,500. There are suf- ficient reserve funds in the Tree Fund to cover this expense. In addi- tion to the Grant, operation costs are fundable from 18.50-50.00 per hour for debarkers and 113.00 per hour for splitters through the regular Shade Tree Program. Any revenue received for debarking for other nearby communities or through the sale of excess wood products could be put back into the Tree Fund to lessen our overall costs. Should the Council decide to make dyyliedLiun, a cuitract nest be originated an 4. igncd by June 1 loan for immediate funding this year. The State will pay 40% upon receiving invoice and proof of purchase and the remaining 10% upon physical inspection of the equipment. I1/ Submitted by . John E. Simola, Public Works Director May 27, 1980 C MEMORANDUM TO: City Council FROM: Gary Wieber DATE: May 27, 1980 SUBJECT: Bids on Garbaqe Disposal Contract Enclosed, you will find two bid proposals, one from Corrow Trucking 8 Sanitation, Inc. of Anoka, Minnesota and another from Yonak Sanitation of Maple Lake, Minnesota, relative to the garbage disposal and removal contract. in reviewing the bid alternatives, you can see that Corrow, Trucking 8 Sanitation is low on a one-year contract for either twice a week pickup or once a week pickup, and is also low on a three-year contract for either once a week pickup or twice a week pickup. I would recommend that the City Council of Monticello award garbage / removal and disposal contract to Corrow Trucking 8 Sanitation, Inc. L of Anoka, Minnesota for a three year contract and twice a week pickup based on the following: A. Currently, City of Monticello residents are used to twice a week service. B. The additional pickup would only cost $700 more per month. C. Three year contract is recommended since it is expected that if the City went to a one-year contract, there would be an increase of at least 10% per year, and as a result, the total cost of a three year contract should approximate three one-year contracts. However, in light of the bids received from the other hauler, Yonak Sanitation, it appears quite likely that the cost could rise even more than 10% if the City went with only a one-year contract. Additionally, it should be pointed out that Corrow Trucking 8 Sanitation would like to pick the garbage up in Monticello on Tuesdays and Fridays, if at all possible. Current garbage pickup is on Mondays and Thursdays. GW/ns 14 c. 1 BID PROPOSAL TO BE OPENED MAY 27, 1980, 2:00 P.M.

Monticello Sign Ordinance At their May 20, 1980 meeting, the Planning Commission is scheduled to review with the City Planner possible revisions to the Monticello Sign Ordinance. As you can see by the enclosed memorandum from the Planner, John Uban with Howard Dahlgren Associates, his recommendation is to keep the present ordinance exactly as is. 2. Library On June 3, 1980, a hearing will be held before Judge Caroll Larson in Wright County District Court, relative to the Worth Brasie Memorial Trust. At this time, the Attorney General has indicated that their office has no objections to the dissolution of the trust and this opens the way for transfer of the library obligation and the Oakwood School Building to the City of Monticello. 3 E^incntu „vain ProceeJings - Ruff Auto Parts. inc. On June 2, 1980, a jury trial is scheduled between the City of Monticello and Ruff Auto Parts, relative to award of damages for the taking of property and removal of debris within the right-of-way. As you may recall, Ruff Auto Parts is requesting between $50,000 and $250,000 for the parcel taken for the easement for road improvements, sewer and water, along with another $30,000 for the removal of the debris in the same area. 4. Access Opening for Property Rezoned for Harold Ruff. In talking with the Wright County Engineer, he saw no particular problem in granting a separate access opening from West County Road 39 onto the parcel recently rezoned by the City Council of Monticello just west of the NSP utility building, contingent upon such access being granted. Wright County Engineer indicated that he would respond in writing in the very near future as to a final determination in this matter. Council Update Page N2 5. Improvement of Road West of Bowling Alley and Roller Rink. Quotations have been received for this project budgeted in 1980, and the lowest bid has been received from Buffalo Bituminous for $6,806.30. This project will be commenced within approximately 30 days. It is the intention of the City's Public Works Department to grade the road; however, the City's motor patrol is currently being repaired, and as soon as this is completed, the project will be graded and the road paved. C MINUTES REGULAR MEETING - MONTICELLO CITY COUNCIL May 12, 1980 - 7:30 P. M. Members Present: Arve Grimsmo, Dan Blonigen, Fran Fair, Ken Maus, Phil White. Members Absent: None 1. Consideration of Final Resolution Approvinq the issuance of 5975,000 in Industrial Development Revenue Bonds - Clow Stampinq Co., Inc. Clow Stamping Co., Inc, requested final approval for the issuance of $975,000 in Industrial Development Revenue Bonds. The City Council, at their January 14, 1980 meeting, gave preliminary approval, and also the Commissioner of Securities for the State of Minnesota has given prelimin- ary approval. The funds will be used by Clow Stamping Co. to build a new manufacturing facility in the Oakwood industrial Park, and it was noted that the bonds are not a general obligation of the City of Monticello and will not be charged against the general credit or taxing power of Monticello. Mr. Gary Pringle, City Attorney, has reviewed all documents relative to the issuance of the bonds, and it was his recommendation that the City could adopt a final resolution approving the issuance. Motion was made by Phil White, seconded by ries Mdus and unanimously cdrrieu to adopt the final resolution for the approval of $975,000 in industrial development revenue bonds for Clow Leasing Co. (See Resolution 1980 #10) Consideration of an Ordinance for Electric Distribution and Transmission Franchise Riqhts - Northern States Power Company. Mr. Ward King, representing Northern States Power Company, informed the City Council that their present franchise to operate electric distribution system and transmission lines within the City of Monticello will expire September 5, 1980. Mr. King asked the City Council to adopt an ordinance granting NSP a new 20 -year franchise right which gives NSP the right to construct and maintain its poles and transmission lines and other fixtures as necessary on City property, streets and public ways. Althoigh it was noted by the Council that some communities charge a fran- chise fee to the power companies for this right, such a franchise fee is still charged back to the property owners on their monthly billings. Motion was made by Fran Fair, seconded by Phil White and unanimously carried to adopt an ordinance granting franchise rights to Northern States Power for the period of 20 years beginning May 12, 1980, without any franchise fee. (See Ordinance Amendment 5/12/80 A73). COUNCIL MINUTES - 5/12/80 3. Consideration of Rezoning Request from R-1 to R-3 - Harold Ruff. Mr. Harold Ruff, owner of a parcel of land that lies east of Yampa Estates and west of the NSP maintenance building, between the railroad tracks and County Road 39, requested that this parcel be rezoned from single family residential to R-3, multiple family. Jack Maxwell, of Maxwell Realty, representing both Mr. Ruff and his son Tom Maxwell, indicated that a purchase agreement for the parcel is contin- gent upon the rezoning and he also indicated that his son would be planning on building an apartment complex in this 3.94 acre parcel. John Badalich, City Engineer, informed Mr. Maxwell and the City Council that, although this property has been served with sewer and water and has been assessed for such, no service stub was assessed to the property since Mr. Ruff did not want any service stubs at the time the project was put in. Mr. Badalich indicated that the City did install a service stub for sewer and water at the east end of Mr. Ruff's property on City property. It was noted that should development occur on this parcel of land, an additional amount of approximately $1,200 would be charged to the property owner as an additional cost for sewer and water hookup. Mr. Ralph Munsterteiger indicated that, if the development on this parcel of land which abuts Yampa Circle plans on using Kampa Circle for access to their development, then the Council should consider some type of reimburse- ment to the property owners in Kampa Estates since this 4 acre parcel was never aSSessed fur any part or the stieEt aTGuy i:awya Circle. Mr. Maxwell indicated that he plans on having only one access off of County Road 39, and should not have any need for access from Kampa Circle. At their last meeting, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning request, and felt that the subject property was well -located and suited for multiple family construction due to the commercial property to the east and the railroad tracks to the north to act as buffer zones. Motion was made by Phil White, seconded by Ken Maus and unanimously carried to approve the rezoning of this 3.94 acres from R-1 to R-3 contingent upon the property getting access from County Road 39. 4. Continuation of Public Hearinq on 1980-1 improvement Project to Serve Macarlund Plaza and Land Owned by Maurice Hoolund. This public hearing was continued from the April 14, 1980 Council meeting at which time the City Council decided to defer action to give the developers and the City Engineer time to work out new proposed alignments for the improvements t0 the development. One of the concerns expressed at the April 14th meeting was that Maurice Hoglund wished to develop his property just north of his present residence, but was not in favor of sewer and water extensions along East County Road 39 to his other property. mm COUNCIL MINUTES - 5/12/80 City Engineer, John Badalich, presented a feasibility report and cost y estimate for improving Macarlund Plaza development with sewer and water and storm sewer drainage from Mississippi Drive, rather than along East County Road 39. The new layout for serving the Macarlund Plaza would route sewer and water between Lots 14 8 15, Block 3, Hoglund Addition, from Mississippi Drive through an easement to serve the property. The total cost for getting the improvements from Mississippi Drive into the Macarlund Plaza development was estimated at $106,100. Mr. Badalich indicated that this entire $106,100 could be assessed to the Macarlund Plaza apartment complex consisting of 30 individual townhouse lots at an approximate cost of $3,540 per townhouse unit. Another alternative discussed by Mr. Badalich was the extension of sewer and water to serve Lots 1 thru 6, Block 1 of Macarlund Plaza, south of the townhouse development, thereby eliminating any sewer and water construction on East County Road 39. The additional cost of serving these six lots in the development would amount to an additional $31,000, making the total cost of $137,100. A possible way of assessing this total cost could be based on the amount of potential benefit by each property, resulting in 30 townhouse lots being assessed $92,915 with each of the commercial lots 1 thru 6 being assessed different amounts based on front footage. After the feasibility report was presented by Mr. Badalich, Jack Maxwell, representing Macarlund Plaza, indicated that he would like more time to discuss with other partners in the development, which would be the more desirable method of serving the property. it was noted that, although it P could be up Lu Lhu CiLy Lo decide, numerous ways of assessing the Macarlund Plaza development and other lots owned by Curtis and Maurice Hoglund could be decided in the future. It was the Council consensus to table any action on preparing plans and specifications for this project until all property owners have had a chance to review the report and be in attendance at the next Council meeting scheduled for May 27, 1980. 5. Consideration of Holdinq Public Hearinq on Extension of Sewer, Water and Street improvements alonq Prairie Road. A petition was received from Mel Wolters requesting that sewer, water and street improvements be extended approximately 330 to 360' west of its existing termination point on Prairie Road to serve lots in The Meadows Subdivision Plat. John Badalich, City Engineer, prepared a feasibility report on the exten- sions, and estimated that the total project would cost $45,480 to serve nine assessable lots. Each lot being served by sewer, water and street improvements would have an assessment of $5,053.55, and also, four unit charges would be assessed to property south of Prairie Road owned by Don Christopher, in the amount of $19,881.60. -3- COUNCIL MINUTES - 5/12/80 Although a public hearing on the proposed improvements would be held in the future, Ralph Munsterteiger, representing The Meadows Subdivision, J indicated that the Christophers, at present time, are not in favor of the improvements, but Mr. Munsterteiger is working with the property owner to work out a solution to the problem. Mr. Munsterteiger felt that some type of solution would be worked out and requested that the public hearing be held on the improvement. It was also noted by Mr. Munsterteiger and the City Engineer, that if the sewer and water were extended an additional few feet to the west, one more lot could be served with sewer and water, thus reducing the total assessments per parcel, because there would be ten parcels rather than nine to be assessed. Motion was made by Phil White, seconded by Dan Blonigen and unanimsouly carried to adopt a resolution receiving the feasibility report on the pro- posed improvements and calling for a public hearing on the extension of sewer, water and street improvements along Prairie Road. (See Resolution 1980 All). 6. Consideration of Utilization of Historical Museum. A meeting was recently held by the Monticello Historical Society, and one of the topics was the utilization of the Monticello Historical Museum at the corner of Highway 25 and Broadway Street in Monticello. .Mrs. Ma ion Jaj.,ejun, Wright County Historian, informed the Council that only one additional member besides herself attended the meeting to discuss the future of the Historical Society of Monticello. Mrs. Jameson indicated J that although attendance at the meeting was poor, she would like to see something get going on the Historical Museum in Monticello. Suggestions presented included the possibility of additional display cases at the present building for such items as photographs and other items in an effort to get something going in Monticello. Mrs. Jameson indicated a willingness to spearhead an effort to organize and contact people to see if something could be started. She indicated that she would talk to some of the members of the Senior Citizens Center to see if some of the people would be willing to help and provide manhours at the Museum. It was noted by Mr. Blonigen that he felt the location of the present museum is too small to get something going, and felt that larger space would be necessary before a lot of enthusiasm for such a project could get started. Although Mrs. Jameson thought that a larger area would be nice in the future once the museum got started. she felt that the present site would be adequate for a start. Motion was made by Fran Fair, seconded by Dan Blonigen and unanimously carried to appoint Mrs. Jameson as Chairwoman of the Historical Society to see if she can get something organized and some interest going in a museum. Mrs. Jameson indicated that the possibility does exist for the City to hire CETA workers to spearhead a historical museum if the City would be interested. Mrs. Jameson will be reporting back to the Council on her efforts to organize.the historical committee. - 4 - COUNCIL MINUTES - 5/12/80 7. Consideration of a Variance for the Temporary Display of a Banner by the A.F.S. on Broadway Street. Darlene Anderson, with the American Field Service, requested a variance to allow the display of a temporary banner across Broadway Street by the Lutheran Church for a spagetti dinner to be held at the Church on May 22, 1980. She requested that this banner be displayed for approximately one week in advance of the festivity, and would be taken down immediately afterwards. Motion was made by Phil White, seconded by Dan Blonigen and unanimously carried to approve the variance allowing for the display of a banner by the A.F.S. across Broadway Street for a period of one week beginning May 16 thru May 22, 1980. It was noted that the banner should be located in the downtown area as the area near the Lutheran Church appears not to be suitable for hanging a banner. 8. Consideration of Proposed Garbaqe Disposal Contract and Authorization to Advertise for Bids. New contract proposals were prepared for the Council's review prior to the actual bid -letting scheduled for May 27, 1980. The present garbage haulers have served their written notice that they intend to terminate their contract as of August 1, 1980. The new proposals call for bids for either a one-year contract or a three-year contract, and both contain options of either once or twice weekly pickups. Motion was made by Phil White, seconded by Ken Maus and unanimously carried to approved the proposed garbage disposal contract specifications and authorize the advertisement for bids returnable May 27, 1980. 9. Review of First -Quarter 1980 Financial Statements for Municipal Liquor Store. Mark Irmiter, Manager of the Liquor Store, reviewed with the Council the 1st quarter financial statements for the off -sale liquor store operation. It was noted that sales have increased approximately 17% over the 1st quarter of 1979, with gross profit up approximately 28%. No action was taken by the Council other than review of the financial statements with Mr. Irmiter. In regards to the liquor store site, the Council authorized the Public Works Director to look into the possibility of putting in a sand -point for watering the front lawn at the liquor store site. -5- li COUNCIL MINUTES - 5/12/80 10. Consideration of Havinq our Enqineer Prepare Plans and Specifications to Bid Right -Turn Lane - Sandberq South. As a result of an April 30, 1980 letter from the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MN/DOT) it appears that the City of Monticello will now have to install a right -turn lane into the Sr.ndberg South development at its own expense. The City Council originally reviewed this item in September and October of 1979, and it was decided at that time to appeal the requirement of a right -turn lane into Sandberg South addition. According to the requla- tions of the MN/DOT, an entrance permit application was necessary for access to the plat because the property changed use by subdividing and that all the cost for a right -turn lane is the responsibility of the City. In the fall of 1979, the City Engineer estimated that this project would cost approximately $5,000 for a right -turn lane of over 300' in duration. Although it appears that the City will be required to install a right - turn lane at its own expense, the preparations of plans and specifications for this improvement was delayed until the next scheduled meeting in order to give the Public Works Director a chance to check out the plans and specifications used on similar right turn lanes along Highway 25, such as the one recently installed in Buffalo, Minnesota.

Consideration of Having Plans and Specifications Prepared for Commuter Parking Lot Southwest of I-94/lliqhway 25 Interchanqe. A parcel of land located at the southwest intersection of 1-94 and Highway 25 is scheduled to be deeded from the State of Minnesota to Wright County, and in turn, from Wright County to Monticello for the use and development of a commuter parking lot. A preliminary site layout of the land for use as a commuter parking lot has been prepared that would accommodate approximately 220 cars. The estimated cost for the development of this entire site including landscaping, grading and paving, could amount to 450 - $60,000. Although the Council felt that the need for such a commuter lot is imminent, the consensus was that if the lot is developed, it should probably be only Class 5 to begin with and could be developed in stages rather than the entire lot at one time. The possibility also exists that funds might be available from the State of Minnesota to help develop commuter parking lots in the future, and as a result, if such a parking lot is developed, a public hearing would probably be held to consider a Class 5 parking lot only for one or two years. Motion was made by Phil White, seconded by Ken Maus and unanimously carried to authorize the City Engineer to prepare plans and specifications improving the proposed parking lot with blacktop, lighting, landscaping, etc., with the possibility of developing the project into three stages. J Once the feasibility study is prepared and the costs are known, a public hearing could then be held on the project. - 6 - COUNCIL MINUTES - 5/12/80 12. Approval of Minutes - Special Joint Meeting of April 24, 1980 and Reaular Meeting of April 28, 1980. Motion was made by Phil White, seconded by Fran Fair and unanimously carried to approve the Minutes of the City Council's Special Meeting held April 24th and Regular Meeting held April 28, 1980. 13. Consideration of Setting Salary Scale and Reallocation of Wanes for Information Center during 1980. Karen Hanson, Senior Citizens Center Director, requested that the City adjust the allocation of those personnel working at the Information Center. Mrs. Hanson asked that the City consider the possibility of paying those employees who work at the Information Center 2/3's of the hourly wages with the remaining 1/3 being set aside for the Senior Citizens Center rather than the 50/50 split in previous years. Reasons for this request was that the people who do work at the Information Center do provide their own transportation to and from the Center and do contribute quite a bit already to the Center in terms of any portion of the wages they earn. In addition, Mrs. Hanson asked that the hourly wage be set at $2.90 per hour in 1980 as a result of the Minimum Wage Law in the State of Minnesota, notion was made by Pnii White, seconded by Fran Fair and unanimously carried to authorize the payment of $2.90 per hour for staffing the information Center, with 2/3's of the salary being paid to the individual and 1/3 being set aside in a fund for the Senior Citizens Center.

Mr. Orland Kreitlow, with the Wright County Assessor's Office, reviewed the concerns expressed by the following individuals: Steve Johnson, Lester Anderson, Cindy Rasmussen, Lee Trunnell, Bill Thompson, Bob Mueller, John Mitchell, Doug Pitt, Bob Mosford, Dr. John Kasper. After review of the concerns expressed by the above individuals, adjust- ments were made on the following parcels: #155-010-071090 - Robert Mosford Cufn:ero waS CAv1'essed with Llie valuaL uo, ui Mir. I'lu�,urU b uffice building using a square footage figure of $37.75. The classifica- tion system, as explained by Mr. Kreitlow, for office buildings (v put them in the same classification as banks. Mr. Mosford questionned the rationale of including offices in the same Cate- gory as banks, but felt that, if an adjustment were made to include his office building in the same construction quality per square footage valuation as the existing drive-in facility, he would be satisfied. it appeared that Mr. Mosford's building was one of the highest assessed commercial buildings in the City of Monticello on a per square footage basis. A motion was made by Fran Fair, seconded by Ken Maus and unanimously carried to adjust the valuation of Mr. Mosford's building from $37.75 per square foot to $29.00 per square foot. 0155-015-002020 - Dr. John Kasper Concern was expressed with the valuation of the land compared to the parcel immediately to the west which was of an equivalent size. The parcel to the west is owned by Munticello Clinic, Ltd. A motion was made by Ken Maus, seconded by Fran Fair and unanimously carried to reduce Dr. John Kasper's assessment on the above parcel for the land segment to equate it with the parcel immediately to the west (Parcel #155-015-022010). It COUNCIL MINUTES - 5/13/80 0155-015-002120 - Dr. John Kasper Concern was expressed with the valuation on this parcel being increased from $100 to $5,000 since the City of Monticello had an easement for sanitary sewer which Dr. Kasper felt made the parcel unbuildable.

A motion was made by Dan Blonigen, seconded by Fran Fair and unanimously carried to adopt the valuation on City of Monticello property as presented by the Wright County Assessor's Office and as amended above.
