AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
Agenda Item 2. Review of Regulations Relative to Monticello as a Result of
a Portion of the Mississippi River beim Designated a Component
of the Minnesota Wild Scenic and Recreational Rivers System.
Recently, the Mississippi River from St. Cloud to Anoka has
been designated a component of the Minnesota Wild Scenic and
Recreational River System.
�7 The portion of the Mississippi River adjacent to Monticello
has been designated for recreational use.
Mr. Wayne Sames from the Department of Natural Resources
will be at Tuesday's meeting to explain the provisions of
^ the Wild and Scenic River Act and to explain how this will
�\' p affect Monticello.
Enclosed, you will find the proposed rules and regulations
applicable to Monticello. Some significant pointe are:
1. Lots not served by a public sewer shall be at least
20,000 square feet (approximately I acre) in area
t� and at leant 100 feet in width at the building line
and at the ordinary high water mark (far lots abutting
a public water). Lots served by a public sewer and
which abut a public water, shall be at least 159000
square feet in area and at least 75 feet in width at
6t4 the building line and at the ordinary high water mark.
VO ^ All other lots served by a public sewer shall be at
/� G� ,A least 10,000 square feet in area and at least 7,
\ feet in width at the building line.
2. Setbacks for Recreational Development Waterer at
Q ,r levet 100 feet from the ordinary high water mark for
�y lots not earved by public cewor and at least 75 feet
S0' Q, from the ordinary high water mark for lota nerved by
0V public sewer.
Q 4� 3. Substandard Lot.et Lute of record in the office of the
_V �0� County Register of Deeds on the date of enactment of
the Municipal Shoreland Ordinance which do not moot
the roquiromonto may be allowed ae building cites
providod ouch use is pormitted in the zoning district,
`. the lot is in separate ownorship from abutting lando
and sanitary and dimensional requlremei�te of the shore-
0 land ordinance are complied with insofar as practicable.
Vy Each municipal ordinance may, conaiatont with these
Q otandardo and criteria, act a minimum size for oub-
ctandard Toto or imnp000 other roctrictiono on the
development of oubotandard loco, including the pro-
1\
ro-
\hibition of development until the subotandard lot(a)
aro served by public cower and water.
Q err `

\b
Q
It should be pointed out the provisions (item 3) do "grand-
father in" existing lots of record and therefore the effects
on Monticello will be minimal.
Eventually. Monticello is required to amend their ordinances
to abide by the rules and regulations set up by the Dept.
of Natural Resources.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Review of provisions of DNR regulations.
Wayne Samos may bring a sample ordinance to consider for
adoption.

Agenda Item 3. Public Hearing - Consideration of Rezoning Parcel from R-1
to R-2 for Four Unit Apartment.
Ron Doerr is requesting that lot 7 of Doerr Estates be re-
zoned from R-1 (Single Family Residential) to R-2 (Single
and Two Family Residential) to allow a four unit apartment
J• v as a conditional use.
r
-tr Our present pity ordinance dose not allow a four unit apart -
4 went in a R-1 zone either as a permitted or conditional use
but does allow a four unit apartment as a conditional use
S , in a R-2 zone.
Lot 7 of Doerr Estates is approximately 1 acre and would
1' 1 IIIYYYliN��11��1 equate to about 11,550 square feet per unit. In talking
to Dices Dwinell of Howard Dahlgren Assoc., some consideration
could possibly be given to allowing a four plea in a R-1
d zone provided it was allowed as a conditional use with
conditions requiring the lot size be sufficient to accomodate
1 a four unit. As an example, 12,000 square feet is the
t 1 X *minim lot size for a single family residence and the
1f conditional use pormit could require that the lot size be
-Vsufficient to provide 75% of the required single family
residence for each unit. For a four unit apartment this
would require 36,000 square feet. Other conditions could
possibly require brick construction, certain lot widths and
distance factors from nearest multiple dwelling.
t1 , Advantages in allowing o four unit as a conditional use in
3. an H-1 zone would be to prevent spot zoning parcels. By
providing stringent conditions, it would also prevent un-
desirable devolopmonto that ore :Wt compatiblo with an R-1
zone. Additionally, since a conditional uoe requires a public
hearing, it would allow surrounding property owners input
/_• ' into the ieeue.
Dick Dwinell will be
preparing a planning report on this
V item) however, this was not received at the time of this
writing and will follow in the mall.

Agenda Item 4. Consideration of Allowing a Duplex in an R-1 Zoning District.
Pat Donahue is requesting a variance be granted to allow a
duplex in an R-1 zoning district.
Mr. Donahue would like to move the home he has purchased
just east of the hospital to Lot 11, Block C of Upper
Monticello (see map) and convert it to a duplex. In order
to move the building, approval has to be made by the City
Council and will be reviewed at the time the variance for a
duplex in an R-1 is on the council's agenda.
It would appear to me the request is a refadunaole one oadeu
ou rue feuuring:
1. Home to be moved would be compatible with the area
into which 1t is moved.
2. Property is adjacent to an existing duplex that
was "grandfathered in" and is also adjacent to an
R-2 zone which allows a duplex as a permitted use.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of approval of variance.
REFERENCES: Enclosed map.
Planning report (to follow in mail).
Agenda Item 5. Consideration of a Variance for a Mobile Home in an R-1
(Single Family Residential) Zone.
Mr. Charles Biegert is requesting a variance to allow a
mobile home in an R-1 zoning district for his mother.
Location of proposed mobile home is shown on enclosed map
and is in an area of throe other mobile homes. These three
mobile home wore "grandfathered in" as our present ordinance
allows a mobile home in R-4 zones only. The only R-4 zone
is the River Terrace Park Trailer Court.
Mr. Siegert has a petition oigned by some of the ourrounding
neighbors indicating they would have no objections to a mobile
home.
Allowing a variance for a mobile home in an R-1 district
would appear to mo to be a dangerous precedent rogardleoo of
the particular circumotancoo and I would recommend the
Planning Comaieeion deny the roqueot.
POSSIBLE ACTIONt Recommendation of approval or dens of
variance to the City Council.

L, Agenda Item 6. Review of Comprehensive Plan.
Dick Dwinell will again review the Comprehensive Plan with
the Planning Commission. At our last meeting, the plan
was reviewed papge by page and it may be well to review
specifics at this meeting.
Hopefully, at Tuesday's meeting, Section III of the Plan,
(coal and Policies, can be finalised so that Section N,
Guide Plan, can be completed and reviewed.
It is important that the Planning Commission feels "com-
fortable" with the Comprehensive Plan as now is the time
to make any necessary changes or revisions and not at a
later date when the Planning Commission to faced with an
issue. This is not to say the Plan should be laid in con-
crete as it is an "ever changing" document, but obvious
probleme should be ironed out.
After the Guide Plan is prepared the Planning Comniesion's
recommendations will go forward to the City Council for
their review and eventually a public hearing will be hold on
the Comprehensive Plan. Mtimately, a new zoning nap will
be reviewed and adopted.
