Jerry Shannon of Springsted, Inc., reported that l 1 bids were received for the
issuance of $1,575,000 in G.O. bonds to finance the Klein Farms 4th Addition
improvement project. It was recommended that the sale of bonds be awarded
to Harris Trust & Savings Bank at an interest rate of 4.3905' and net
interest cost of $249,334.88.
City Administrator Rick Wolfsteller also recommended that Council approve
entering into an agreement with Springsted, Inc., to provide continuing
disclosure services and monitoring related to this bond issue for an initial fee
of $250 plus $200 for each additional bond that they monitor.
AFTER DISCUSSION, A MOTION WAS MADE BY CLINT HERBST AND
SECONDED BY BRUCE THIELEN TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION AWARDING THE
SALE OF $1,575,000 G.O. BONDS TO HARRIS TRUST & SAVINGS BANK AT AN
INTEREST RATE OF 4.3905`A AND NET INTEREST COST OF $249,334.88.

Assistant Administrator Jeff O'Neill reported that staff has for some time
been working on the trunk storm sewer program and issues relating to storm
water management and system design; however, it was recommended that an
overall management plan he completed to include analysis of areas outside of
the original study area that are not developing as quickly and to establish
local water quality standards. The cost of the study was estimated at
$40,000 but would need to be funded through reserves, as the study was not
included in the 1997 or 1998 budget.

10. Consideration of changrp in Ao i y for sewer and water worker emergency
response time.
In the report submitted by Public Works Director John Simola, it was noted
that the current policy, amended on February 8, 1993, requires individuals
hired for the water/sewer collection system department to live within a 10 -
mile driving distance to the public works shop. This requirement was
established for emergencies because backup of city sewers and/or
safeguarding the city's water supply requires quick responses from the
department. The original policy was in effect when Rich Cline was hired in
1990, who at that time lived 12.4 miles from the public works shop and
signed an agreement stating that he would move closer to the city prior to the
end of his probationary period.
After moving to a residence in Big Lake which was closer and then to a
residence above Ernie's Bait on East Broadway in Monticello, the Public
Works Director recently learned that Mr. Cline was currently negotiating the
purchasing a house in Silver Creek Township, which is 11.6 miles from the
public works shop. There was concern that the home was located beyond the
10 -mile requirement, and it would not be possible for Mr. Cline to reach the
public works shop within 10 minutes.
Matt Thiesen, Water/Sewer Collection System Superintendent, noted that
the response time was established based on the fact that basements begin
flooding 45 minutes after the Chestnut Street lift station goes down. He
noted that he is in the process of surveying other communities for
information regarding emergency response time and pager/on-call
requirements. In addition, he stated that when he drove from the residence
in question to the public works shop, it took 14.5 minutes.
A MOTION WAS MADE. BY BRIAN STUMPF AND SECONDED BY BRUCE
THIELEN TO KEEP THE CURRENT 10 -MILE DRIVING DISTANCE. TO THE CITY
SHOP POLICY BASED ON THE FINDING THAT PRECEDENTS HAVE BEEN SET
IN THE PAST WITH THE HIRING OF OTHER WATEWSE.WBR COLLECTION
SYSTEM EMPLOYEES AND THE REQUIREMENT WAS ESTABLISHED TO
SERVE THE NEEDS OF THE PUBLIC.
Before voting on the motion, Tim Connors, I.U.O.E. Local 49 representative
for the city employees, requested permission to address the Council on behalf
of Rich Cline. He stated that none of the 30 cities in the metro area which he
represents have a residency requirement, and it was his view that the policy
was unreasonable. In addition, he noted that it was Mr. Cline's
understanding that he would be first responder to emergencies; and since he
hasn't been given that opportunity, he should not be required to abide by the
10 -mile policy.
Page 4 �../
Council Minutes - 10/27/97
Council explained that employees were not promised a specific number of
emergency calls but were required to live within 10 miles to respond to calls
if needed.
Rich Cline explained that he has always made himself available to the City
and, according to the Public Works Director, was considered to be the first
responder to emergencies. However, very few calls had been received during
his employment, including the three years he lived within city limits. In
addition, he noted that no one had ever specified the shop or a specific place
that must be reached within 10 minutes. The home he proposed to purchase
is 8.2 miles from the city limits, which is the same distance as his previous
home in Big Lake; however, the actual drive time would be faster due to easy
access to the freeway.
A vote on the previous?y-made motion was then taken: Motion carried
unanimously.
In his report to Council, the Public Works Director noted that in preparation
of replacing two worn out plows, $10,000 was placed in the 1998 budget. Due
to the long delivery time for snow plows, it was recommended that new plows
be purchased as soon as possible from Little Falls Machine at a price of
$5,415 each.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY CLINT HERBST AND SECONDED BY BRUCE
THIELEN TO AUTHORIZE REPLACEMENT OF THE TWO NORWEGIAN PLOWS
WITH TWO FALLS MODEL. TER -12 TRIP EDGE REVERSIBLE. PLOWS AT A
TOTAL. COST OF $11,533.95, INCLUDING SALES TAX, FROM LITTLE FALLS
MACHINE, INC. Motion carried unanimously.
12. Consideration of purchase of snow plow for 4 -wheel drive Case loader.
In his report to Council, the Public Works Director recommended that
authorization be given to add an all -hydraulic plow and quick hitch to the
new Case loader rather than the 936 Cat as previously planned, which would
save approximately $6,500.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY ROGER CARLSON AND SECONDED BY CLINT
HERBST TO AUTHORIZE ADDING AN ALL -HYDRAULIC 9 -FT PLOW AND
QUICK HITCH TO TILE CASE LOADER AT A COST OF $4,483.65, INCLUDING
SALES TAX. Motion carried unanimously.

A MOTION WAS MADE BY BRIAN STUMPF AND SECONDED BY ROGER
CARLSON TO APPROVE THE BILLS FOR THE LAST HALF OF OCTOBER AS
PRESENTED. Motion carried unanimously.
14. Other matters.
A. Councilmember Clint Herbst requested that Council identify which of
the annexation criteria offered by the Township were not acceptable.
It was noted by other Council members that since the petitions had
already been forwarded to the Municipal Board, further discussion of
the issue should wait until a decision has been reached. No action was
taken.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY BRUCE THIELEN AND SECONDED BY CLINT HERBST TO

Council Agenda - 11/10/97
W.S.)
With the growth of the community, additional pressures are put on the public
works department to keep levels of service to the public from degrading. This
becomes more and more difficult to accomplish while some of our older
infrastructure system requires more and more care, i.e., signs, street lights,
signals, streets, patching, building repairs, parks equipment maintenance,
and general upkeep and mowing. Additional pressures are also put on the
system by an increase in vandalism throughout the community. Simply
stated, more roads, parks, trails, structures, and cemeteries means more
effort is required to stay even, let alone increase levels of service. The City
Administrator, Assistant Administrator, and myself have been investigating
the possibility of splitting the parks department from the street department.
Most likely, the parks department would include cemeteries and the tree
program. The street department, of course, would oversee streets and alleys,
snow and ice, shop and garage, street lighting, and public parking lots. We
have begun work on the actual areas of responsibility and job tasks for each
department.
In preparation for this change which will be brought before the Council in
early 1998, we have budgeted for two additional full-time employees and
have included enough funds so that one of the new employees could be the
Parks Superintendent or one of the existing employees could be transferred
or promoted to same. At this point in time, we are asking the City Council
only to authorize hiring one additional employee who will be the first official
full-time parks department employee. Job descriptions are written generic
enough so that the primary responsibilities of this individual will be in the
parks department but will also work with other departments in the city.
Initially the individual will work under the direction of the Street & Parks
Superintendent.
H ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS;
The first alternative is to authorize the advertisement for the position
of full-time parks worker, with the actual ratification of the position
occurring at a later date.
The second alternative would be not to hire additional full-time
employees at this time.
Council Agenda - 11/10/97
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
It is the recommendation of the City Administrator, Assistant Administrator,
and the Public Works Director that the City Council authorize hiring a full-
time parks worker as outlined in alternative #1. This employee is needed to
meet the minimum levels of service depicted in the Snow Plowing/Removal
Policy.
Enclosed you will find a list of public works employees, their hire dates, and
a breakdown of the typical areas they work in.

Council Agenda - 11/10/97
On the morning of October 15, 1997, the Mayor and myself met with the
Merchants Committee of the Chamber of Commerce in regard to snow
removal services in the downtown area. The Merchants Association had two
concerns. The first concern centered around the City's 4 -wheel drive
tractor/snowblower which clears the sidewalks from Pinewood Elementary to
the high school, with the exception of the area from the Pump -n -Munch to
city hall. The merchants questioned why we couldn't stay on the sidewalk
and clear the sidewalk between the Pump -n -Munch and city hall rather than
driving the tractor down the street. This sidewalk rarely sees winter sun and
is more difficult to maintain than the north side. Secondly, the downtown
merchants questioned the level of service by MnDOT and snow removal
services on the sidewalks along Highway 25 from River Street to 3rd Street.
The limited space in this area and the volume of snow pushed out onto the
sidewalks by the State has made it extremely difficult for those merchants to
open a walking path within 24 hours after the end of a snow event.
Ager discussing these issues at the staff level with the Street
Superintendent, the public works employees, and MnDOT's snow removal
crew and discussing increasing the level of services with Tom Wood,
MnDOT's supervisor for the Monticello area, we have come to the following
conclusions:
The City should not clear the sidewalk along the south side of
Broadway between the pump -n -Munch and city hall by keeping the 4 -
wheel drive tractor/snow blower moving along that portion of sidewalk.
This work for City crews is most efficiently performed during
daylight hours after the snow plowing operations have ceased,
and there are hazards to the general public from the large snow
blower traveling where people step in and out of doors. There
also is a possibility of picking up any debris on the sidewalk
where there would be newspapers or more solid objects and
striking vehicles or pedestrians nearby in the crowded quarters
along the storefronts' parking on Broadway. It is the general
consensus, however, that we should step up the level of service
that we provide in the area of the Chamber building and on our
own vacant lots, as well as enforcement of the snow removal
policy on sidewalks adjoining privately -owned vacant lots.
Council Agenda - I V10/97
It is the consensus of the City staff, public works employees, and
MnDOT local representatives that the City should not step in and
attempt to clean heavy snow from those sidewalks along Highway 25
(due to the massive amount of manpower and equipment needed to do
the job properly by removing the snow off the sidewalks and hauling
it). It is felt that more can be accomplished by assisting the State to do
their job.
Immediately after completion of normal snow plowing
operations, the State's primary directive is to clean areas along
guard rails and bridges where tapered snow could become a
launching pad for vehicles. After this work is completed, they
then move into the sidewalk area along Highway 25. There are
not always over -time hours available to complete this work
without doing it during normal work hours. In addition, often
the State could be short an operator or operator and truck,
which could delay the start of the snow removal services on
Highway 25, as they must have a complete team assembled,
including moving safety signing, to accomplish the task.
Therefore, the City will assist in the following manner:
I 1 We will draft a letter to MnDOTs district
supervisor, Randy Reznicek, in St. Cloud,
requesting that MnDOT step up the minimum
levels of service offered along Highway 25 for
removing snow off sidewalks by authorizing over-
time hours to do so when necessary to achieve
desired results.
2) In addition, when requested, the City of Monticello
will provide one operator or an operator and a
truck to assist the State with snow removal
operations off the sidewalks from River Street to
Oakwood Drive. This operation can take one to two
days. Under a worse case scenario, it may be
necessary for us to hire a truck and operator at a
rate of $40 per hour for our own snow hauling
operations in the middle of the night elsewhere in
the community so that we can free up a man to
work with the State. This would cult $320 for an 8 -
hour day. The business community along the
entire length of Highway 25 would benefit from
this, including the City and its residents.
Council Agenda - 11/10/97
The first alternative is to clear the south side commercial sidewalks
between the Pump -n -Munch and city hall with our tractor/snow blower
and to become the primary responsible party for clearing snow off
sidewalks along Highway 25 from River Street to 3rd Street.
The second alternative would be not to clear the commercial sidewalk
on the south side of Broadway between the Pump -n -Munch and city
hall, but to step up our levels of services on our own properties in those
areas and the enforcement of snow clearing of vacant property
sidewalks. This alternative also includes working with the State by
requesting they step up their minimum levels of services provided
along Highway 25 and that the City assist them when requested with
one operator or a truck and operator so that they can meet those
minimum levels of service.
The third alternative would be not to clear the commercial sidewalk on
the south side of Broadway or assist the State.
f, STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
As Public Works Director, it is my opinion that the best option for the City at
this time is alternative 112. The snow clearing of the sidewalks along
Broadway in the commercial district is best handled by shovels or very small
snow blowing equipment, and it is best performed by adjoining property
owners. Another option not discussed would be for them to collectively hire
someone to do it or the City to do the same.
For the sidewalks along Highway 25, it would be difficult for the City to gear
up to match the services provided by the State of Minnesota and perform
them at an earlier time! By assisting the State when requested, they can
increase their levels of service. This appears to be the lowest cost and best
solution. This still makes the adjoining property owner the primary
responsible party for monitoring and maintaining the condition of the
sidewalks adjoining their property but will get the City involved and step up
the level of service provided by the State to acceptable levels of service,
thereby easing the burden of the adjoining property owners. The City
Administrator and Street Superintendent concur with this recommendation.
This would still require the merchants to have their sidewalks cleared after
24 hours of the end of n snow storm, but any storms where significant
amounts of snow are pushed on the sidewalks, we would not enforce the 24-
hour requirement again until the State had completed their work.

Re: Snow Removal from tiidewalks Aiyoining State llightra),15 thrrrugh Monticello
Dear Mr. Reznicek:
The Monticello Chamber of Commerce has brought to our attention that MnD0T's snow removal
services along Highway 25 in Monticello do not appear to have the priority they did a few years ago
As you know, all of the snow from the four driving lanes on I lighway 25 is pushed to the outside and
piled on the narrow sidewalks, often blocking access to some of the buildings This Is especially In
the area from River Street to 3rd Street. This heavy compacted snow from the highway plows Is
almost impossible to remove without the use of heavy equipment
In discussing this with MnDOT en7ployees here in Monticello and Supervisor, Tom Wood, It appears
that the cleaning ofthe sidewalks is sometimes delayed due to the unavailability of overtime hours and
sometimes the lack of an equipment opemtor and/or truck to put together the snow removal team We,
therefore, suggest the following solutions to the problem
That MnDOT establish a minimum level of service that under normal conditions the sidewalk
clearing operations In Monticello will begin within 48 hours a(ler the end of a storm event,
and that MnDOT will direct sonic overtone hours to this function where necessary 11 Is
possible this work could be completed quicker at night
Thatwhen requested to do so the City of Monticello will plovlde one operator or 12 -yard
dump truck and driver to assist MnDOT in snow removal operations along Illghwmy 25
through Monticello.

Council Agenda - 11/10/97
cbm
W.S.)
The City of Monticello's past Council meeting minutes show that the first
snow plowing/removal policy was adopted on November 10, 1975. Additional
amendments or modifications were made on November 24, 1975, and
November 27, 1989. With the growth of the community, it became more
obvious that we needed to update our snow plowing and removal policy.
Roger Mack and myself attended a League of Minnesota Cities sponsored
snow policy workshop in late fall of 1996. The first draft of the new snow
policy was completed in December of 1996 but was put on hold pending the
outcome of the pathway clearing debates.
The new policy, which was given to you at the meeting of October 27, 1997,
provides more detail than the old policy and also describes the minimum
levels of service expected. In most instances, we expect many to be able to
exceed the minimum levels of service. The new policy, of course, also
includes City -maintained pathways, hockey rinks, and general skating rinks.
The policy also contains sections from the parking ordinance and a statement
that the Wright County Sheriffs Department will rigorously enforce those
ordinances from November 15 through April 15.
The policy as presented does not include the additional work for clearing
sidewalks in the downtown area requested by the Downtown Merchants
Association. In addition, the minimum levels of service described in the
policy cannot be met without one additional employee in the Parks
Department, whose primary area of responsibility in regard to snow will be
pathways, skating rinks, and sidewalks.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. The first altemative would be to approve the snow plowingtremoval
policy as drafted.
2. The second alternative would be to add a section requiring clearing of
selected sidewalks in the downtown area.
3. The third alternative would be to make changes to the policy as
drafted as determined by the City Council during Monday evening's
meeting.
4. The fourth alternative would be not to approve the snow plowing/
removal policy.
Council Agenda - 11/10/97
It is the recommendation of the City Administrator, Public Works Director,
and Street Superintendent that the City Council authorize approval of the
snow plowingtremoval policy as presented either under alternative #1 or #2.
This, of course, is based upon the assumption that the Council has
authorized the hiring of one additional parks worker, whose primary area of
responsibility in the winter is the pathways and skating rinks.
A copy of the draft policy was included in your agenda packet for the meeting
of October 27, 1997. Additional copies are available at city hall. We have
also included with the agenda packet a copy of the old policy so that you may
compare the two documents.
CITY OF MONTICELLO
SNOWPLOWING/REMOVAL POLICY
GENERAL
Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to establish uniform and consistent guidelines for the
plowing and removal of snow within the city of Monticello.
Areas of Responsibility
Through its adoption, the City Council of Monticello is responsible for the policy
established herein. Implementation of this policy is the responsibility of the Street
Supervisor in conjunction with the Public Works Director and City Administrator.
The chain of command is the City Administrator, Public Works Director, and Street
Supervisor, in that order. All decisions as to time, method, and materials used on
snowplowing/removal operations will be made by the Street Supervisor, Public Works
Director, and City Administrator, and any amendments are to be in accordance with
the amendment section of this policy.
Amendments to Policy
Any amendments to this policy require Council approval. Whenever possible and
practical, amendments should be brought up at Council meetings and should be a
matter of public record. However, to allow for emergencies or other extenuating
circumstances, when time does not permit Council approval or action, the Public
Works Director is hereby authorized to amend any portion of this policy he sees fit.
If practical, the City Administrator shall be notified and shall approve of any such
amendment. Any such amendment made due to a particular emergency shall be
brought to the attention of the Council if the amendment is to be a permanent one.
Work Schedule
Scheduling of employees is the responsibility of the Street Supervisor under the
jurisdiction of the Public Works Director. Overtime should be kept at a minimum,
with all overtime scheduling being approved by the Public Works Director. The
Public Works Director shall notify the City Administrator of any unusual amount of
overtime to be performed and the reasons.
+0SNOWPLOW.POL: II/27/89 Page 1
Snowolowine/Removal Schedule
Upon accumulation of snowfall, the Street Supervisor will arrange for the street
department employees to initiate snowplowing procedures (11/10/75, #tl). Emergency
routes (County Road 75 from West River Street to East County Road 39, including
Hart Boulevard past the hospital and State Highway 25*) will be plowed first and
then Third Street (to provide access to all three schools).
The Street Supervisor will then coordinate plowing of the downtown area: east/west,
north/south streets within city proper, outlying areas, and parking lots. Top priority

Council Agenda - 11/10/97
Gommunity andTraining�
City Council is asked to consider adopting the recommendation by the
Community Center Task Force for architectural services, which is to appoint
the firm of Ankeny Kell Architects (AKA) and authorize City staff to prepare
a contract for service.
THE SELECTION PROCESS
On September 22, the City Council authorized City staff to send a letter of
intent to the National Guard regarding the City's commitment to build a
community/training center and directed the Task Force to begin the process
of hiring an architect. In response, staff prepared a request for proposals
and submitted it to six qualified firms in the area. Each of the six proposers
met with City staff to discuss the proposal, and all of them provided a
proposal which was reviewed by each of the members of the task force. The
list of six was narrowed to three for interviews. Ankeny Kell, Short Elliot
Hendrickson, and Ellen Lukin Architecture were interviewed on November 3.
In the end, Ankeny Kell Architects (AKA) was recommended for the following
reasons:
AKA was selected due to their successful track record in designing and
building community centers and their strong understanding of operations
and maintenance of such a facility. They received excellent
recommendations from the Chaska City Administrator and the Champlin
Parks Director. The reference provided by Chaska noted that AKA did a
great job of obtaining community input and participation in the project,
which resulted in a facility that matched the needs of the community --and
within budget.
ANKENY KELL ARCHITECTURE
Ankeny Kell Architects is a full service architecture and interior design firm.
Founded in 1976, the firm has grown from a small business to a mid-sized
firm with over 20 employees. Similar projects that Ankeny Kell has recently
completed include the St. Croix Valley Sports Complex (breaking ground),
Maplewood Community Center, Chaska Community Center, Champlin Ice
Forum, and Inver Grove Heights Community Center. Attached is a copy of
the proposal submitted by Ankeny Kell. A promotional video tape is also
available that outlines the firm's capabilities and features comments from
city officials from the cities of Maplewood, Chaska, and Champlin. This
video tape will he shown continuously during the upcoming business expo.
Council Agenda - I V10/97
THE Near STEPS
If the City Council adopts the recommendation made by the Task Force,
Ankeny Kell and staff will prepare a contract for approval by Council at an
upcoming meeting. In order to complete contract negotiations, AKA and the
Task Force will need to review the building program in more detail and
develop a cost estimate and architectural services fee accordingly. The next
meeting of the Task Force has been scheduled for 5 p.m. on November 25,
1997. Soon thereafter, AKA will begin to set up community meetings for
gaining important input on the mix of uses and subsequent design of the
facility. In accordance with the City Council direction on September 22,
1997, to begin the land acquisition process, City staff will be taking quotes
and authorizing both a phase I environmental review and a boundary survey
of the site.
Staff plans on having a City booth at the expo that will feature the
Community Center, among other current projects. At the booth, there will be
a slide show, a display, and the Ankeny Kell video may also be running. We
hope to obtain survey information from people that visit the booth regarding
their views on the community center.
FINANCE PLAN UPDATE
The National Guard submitted a letter of intent to the City regarding their
participation in the project. See the attached letter for details.
The lease revenue bond approach to funding the core facility remains the
primary method. However, the Task Force continues to explore other options
to supplement lease revenue bond financing for financing the core facility
and aquatic or ice facilities.
There is also some good news regarding property taxes. Depending on
property classification, it appears that there will he little or no tax increase
in 1998 even with the entire high school debt and one-half of the wastewater
treatment plant debt in place. This is due to an increase in property tax
revenue resulting from growth and due to other factors affecting school aid
programs. Continued analysis of project financing options will be occurring
simultaneously to the design process. The Task Force continues to look at
options for funding water or ice with the initial core project.
It ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. Motion to accept the recommendation of the Community and Training
Center Task Force and direct staff to work with Ankeny Kell on
contract documents accordingly.
Council Agenda - IV10/97
Motion to deny the recommendation of the Community and Training
Center Task Force.
C. STAFF F..OMMF.NDATION:

working with this firm. They have done great work in the past and have a
solid understanding of what makes a community center successful.

Dear Mr. O'Neill
Please be advised that the Minnesota State Armory Building Commission intends to expend
1.5 million dollars to build a Training and Community Center in Monticello as a part of and in
partnership with the City of Monticclto in the development of its community center. We
anticipate that these funds wlwld be sufficient to acquire a 1'ec interest in a portion of the
property that would meet a majority of our needs. We expect that the other periodic needs would
be met by a lease. II will be critical to our lease interest to be able to supersede other leasehold
or ownership interests during a period of emergency. This provision is rarely exercised and, if
exercised, it is highly likely that the City would be in significant need of our services.
We are also very interested in becoming a partner in the selection and use of an architect. I
have asked our attorney to work with you to develop a joint powers agreement that would
provide for such a relationship; and might also provide the basis lirr the project.
There arc, of course, a number of matters yet to be resolved that could prevent our
participation in this project. We will work to overcome these matters and I hope to have a
successful project that [merits lunh the City and the National Guard.

11. Co raid ra ion of an apnea of a denial of n variance to the r yAmd
setback_. Applicant, John Johnson (J.O.)
As you may recall, at a previous City Council meeting, John Johnson was
granted approval of a conditional use permit allowing a planned unit
development that allowed a car -detailing facility to he constructed on a parcel
west of the auto body shop. The PUD allowed common use of the side lot
lines and associated parking lot. The site plan approved included denial of a
variance request. John Johnson is appealing the decision regarding the
variance request. Please see the attached information from a report prepared
by NAC on the site plan and associated variance.
Motion to deny appeal of the Planning Commission decision based on
the Planning Commission finding that no hardship exists that
prevents the use of the property if the setback law is followed.
Granting the setback under these circumstances would set a
precedent.
Motion to grant appeal of the variance denial based on the finding that
Marvin Road is not likely to be used as a public right-of-way. This
finding is speculative. No decisions have actually been made with
regard to the ultimate use of Marvin Road.

A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND
NP Background. Mr. John Johnson has submitted a request to construct an autobody repair
facility upon a 14,650 square foot parcel of land located south of Interstate 94 and west
of Sandberg Road. To accommodate the request, the following approvals are necessary:
Conditional use permit to allow the establishment of an autobody repair facility (with
accessory outdoor storage) within a B-3, Highway Business District.
2. Planned unit development conditional use permit (PUD/CUP) to allow shared use
of an outdoor storage area (by an adjacent autobody repair facility).
3. Variance from the minimum 30 foot rear yard setback imposed in B-3 Zoning rf
Districts.
Conditional Use Permit Review
CUP Review Criteria. The purpose of the conditional use permit process is to enable the
City Council to assign dimensions to a proposed use after consideration of adjacent land
uses and their functions. In this regard, the City of Monticello is provided a reasonable
degree of discretion in determining the suitability of certain designated uses upon the
general welfare, public health and safety of its citizens.
Procedurally, the Planning Commission and City Council must consider the possible
adverse effects of the proposed conditional use. Its judgement shall be based upon, but
not limited to the following factors:
1. Relationship to the Municipal Comprehensive Plan.
2. The geographical area involved.
3. Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is
/ proposed.
4. The character of the surrounding area.
5. The demonstrated need for such use.
Planning Commission Agenda - 10/7/97
Applicable B-3 District provisions list autobody repair and accessory outdoor storage as
conditional uses subject to various performance related conditions. Provided all
performance are satisfied, it is believed the proposed use can compatibly exist upon the
subject property.
Planned Unit Development. As shown on the submitted site plan (Exhibit 8), the
applicant is proposing to share an outdoor storage area with an adjacent autobody shop
to the north (also owned by the applicant). To accommodate this 'shared use"
arrangement, the processing of a planned unit development conditional use permit
(PUD/CUP) is necessary. The PUD process is intended to allow certain design flexibilities
in order to provide a more desirable development product. Aside from the referenced
outdoor storage area, the PUD may also accommodate a shared parking arrangement and
associated parking lot setback flexibility.
Lot Requirements. The B-3 Zoning District does not impose a minimum lot size
requirement. The ordinance does, however, stipulate that lots within B-3 Districts must be
not less than 100 feet in width. At ± 110 feet in width (measured at front setback), the site
in question exceeds minimum lot width requirements.
Setbacks. With the exception of the rear yard setback, the proposed autobody shop
complies with applicable B-3 District setback requirements as shown below:
Required Setback Proposed Setback
Front Yard 30 feet 47 feet
Side Yard 10 feet 17 feet—
Rear Yard 30 feet �19 feet
To accommodate the proposed rear yard setback, the applicant has requested approval
of a variance. This item will be addressed in a latter section of this report.
Off-Stroot Parking. According to the zoning ordinance, automobile repair facilities must
provide 8 off-street parking spaces plus 1 space for each 800 square feet over 1,000
square feet. Thus, the proposed autobody shop must provide a total of 11 off-street
parking spaces.
As shown on the submitted site plan, a total of 7 off-street parking spaces have been
proposed. As a condition of PUD/CUP approval, the site plan should be revised to comply
with applicable off-street parking supply requirements. As a means of maximizing land
//-2.
Planning Commission Agenda - 10/7/97
area devoted to off-street parking, a shared access and parking arrangement should be
considered. Attached Exhibit C graphically illustrates an alternative parking arrangement
which meets the referenced off-street parking requirement.
Outdoor Storage. As noted previously, the applicant is proposing to share an outdoor
storage area with an existing autobody shop located to the north of the subject site (also
owned by the applicant). Via the PUD, such arrangement may be considered acceptable.
Issues related to the possible ramifications of a future property sale on the shared use
arrangement should be subject to comment by the City Attomey and stipulated in the PUD
agreement.
The ordinance states that the vehicle storage area associated with an autobody shop must
be limited to 50% of the area of the autobody shop. Assuming the entire outdoor storage
area is to be devoted to vehicle storage, the outdoor storage area has been found to
comprise + 75 percent of the area of the principal building. Accordingly, the vehicle
storage area should be reduced to 50% of the area of the principal building.
In large part, the configuration of the proposed outdoor storage area prompts the need for
the requested principal building setback variance. To avoid the need for such variance,
consideration should be given to reconfiguring the outdoor storage area in a manner
similar to that graphically illustrated upon attached Exhibit C.
Screening. According to the ordinance, outdoor storage areas must be fenced and
screened from view of residential uses and public rights-of-way. As a result, the outdoor
storage area must be specifically screened from Marvin Road to the west and Sandberg
Road to the east. The ordinance also states that 'vehicle storage areas" must be
minimally screened by a 6 foot high 100 percent opaque fence which is designed to blend
with the autobody shop and constructed of materials treated to resist discoloration.
Surfacing. As a condition of CUP approval, outdoor vehicle storage areas associated with
autobody shops must be surfaced in asphalt or concrete.
Building Materials. According to the ordinance, the advertising wall (of an autobody
shop) which faces the public right-of-way must consist of not more than 50% metal. The
ordinance further states that the secondary or non -advertising wall facing a public right-of-
way must utilize a combination of colors or materials that break up the monotony of a
single color flat surface. As a condition of CUP approval, the autobody shop must comply
with applicable building material requirements.
Lighting. As a condition of CUP approval, all exterior lighting must be hooded and so
directed such that light source is not visible from public rights-of-way or neighboring
residences.
Planning Commission Agenda - 10/7/97
Signage. The submitted site plan does not specify the type and location of site signage.
14 As a condition of CUP approval, all signage must comply with applicable provision of the
ordinance.
Loading. In accordance with ordinance requirements, the site plan should be modified
to illustrate an off-street loading space. p
Variance Review �)� a %(' a i e `�� LOI 1➢ ff
Variance Review Criteria. As noted previously, the applicant has requested a variance
from the 30 foot rear yard setback imposed in B-3 Zoning Districts.
Section 23-3 of the ordinance states that in considering requests for variance, the Planning
Commission and City staff must make a finding that approval of the variance will not:
1. Impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property.
2. Unreasonably increase the congestion of the public street.
3. Increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety.
4. Unreasonably diminish or impair established property values within the
neighborhood or in any other way be contrary to the intent of the ordinance.
The ordinance further states that a finding of non -economic hardship must be made and
that the property in question cannot be put to reasonable use if the variance is denied.
In review of the preceding variance evaluation criteria, it is believed that non -economic
hardship (unique to the subject property) does not exist to warrant approval of the
requested variance. As an alternative to the request for variance, a repositioning or
downsizing of the building should be considered. An alternative building 'positioning'
which complies with B-3 setback requirements is illustrated upon attached Exhibit C.

Council Agenda - 11/10/97
A RFFFRENCR AND BACKGROUND:
We have prepared a conceptual proposal to the Township which would settle
the current disputed annexations and replace the current Orderly
Annexation Area with a new agreement. This proposal is prepared for three
primary purposes. The first would be an attempt to avoid the expense, time,
and uncertainty of a Municipal Board hearing. Such hearings can be very
costly, can delay the City and landowner's plans for new development, and
there is no guarantee as to the outcome, although the City can make a very
strong case for Municipal Board approval.
The second purpose is to craft a new agreement which better reflects the City
and Township's needs and concerns with regard to growth and development
in the future. The current OAA does not serve the City's interests at all. As
a result of the inadequacies of the OAA, the Township's concerns are poorly
protected as well. We believe that a new collaborative agreement would
better serve the interests of both parties than either the current OAA or any
Order issued by the Municipal Board as a result of the current petitions.
The third purpose is to put forth a proposed settlement which either creates a
large incentive for the Township to agree or, if the Township doesn't agree,
makes it clear to the Municipal Board that the Township's position is
unreasonable. As a result, the proposal is structured to ofTer the Township
several inducements to drop its opposition to the current petitions and enter
into an agreement with the City. The idea in this proposal is to make those
inducements so apparent that the City could think of this proposal as its
"best offer."
Attached to this agenda item is a memorandum which overviews the proposal
and outlines the key elements of the agreement. Also attached is a proposed
map of the new OAA.

Motion to pass a resolution authorizing the City Attorney to present
the attached proposal to the Monticello Township Board in an effort to
resolve current and future annexation disputes without the necessity
of a hearing before the Minnesota Municipal Board.
Motion not to pass a resolution directing the City Attorney to submit o
settlement proposal to Monticello Township at this time.

Council Agenda - 11/10/97
C. STAFF RFCOMMF.NDATIW
Staff recommends approval of the motion directing the City Attorney to
present the settlement proposal to the Township. As noted above, we believe
that a reasonable offer to the Township serves the City's interests both in
avoiding the expense and delay of a hearing, and also in the event the issue
proceeds to the MMB as scheduled. The hearing scheduled for November 17
is almost certain to be delayed to allow both parties to prepare more
effectively and to encourage settlement. Therefore, there is adequate time to
present the proposal to the Township and get a response prior to the final
hearing date.

DATE:
November 5, 1997
RE:
Monticello - Annexation Petitions in Monticello Township
FILE N0:
191.06
This memorandum is intended to outline a potential proposal to Monticello Township to
resolve the annexation disputes currently scheduled for hearing on Monday, November
17. The proposal is designed to otter the Township a strong incentive to enter into an
agreement which would replace the current Monticello Orderly Annexation Area. Most
importantly, it is designed to facilitate the City's long-term planning for growth beyond its
current boudaries.
The advantage to the City for entering into an agreement such as this is that it allows the
long term planning without concern over annexation disputes. The current OAA Order
does not provide this kind of assurances. "a you are aware, this shortcoming was the
incentive for the City's original interest in establishing the Urban Service Area agreement,
and also the reason that the Township's otter of an amended agreement did not meet the
City's interests. In addition, the proposed agreement revises the OAA line to better reflect
the City's long term service capacity, growth objectives, and property ownership patterns;
Allows the City to veto incompatible development proposals in unincorporated OAA, and
creates a termination date for the agreement, currently lacking in the OAA Board Order.
The advantage to the Township is that it otters the Township several assurances which
it is unlikely to get if the MMB sides with the City in a disputed annexation hearing. These
assurances include: (1) Property owner petitioned annexations only; and (2) Ten years
tax payments to the Township following an annexation.
m/aIr R /3-. 1
The draft agreement includes the following elements:
OAA Expansion/Alteration Interim Line
Annexation Initiation Tax -Base Sharing
Land Use Regulation in new OAA Timing of Annexations in new OAA
Duration of Agreement
Proposal for Amendment to the Monticello Orderly Annexation Area:
This amendment to the Monticello Orderly Annexation Area would amend the Minnesota
Municipal Board's Order of 1974.
The OAA line is altered from its current location to that shown on the attached exhibit.
The essence of the changes are as follo%vs:
A. Additional land is added in the southwest area to accommodate the Citv's intent
to grow in a direction .which primarily south and wrst of current City limits. This
land will accommodate residential, commercial, and industrial growth, as well as
support land uses for that growth.
B. Additional land is added to accommodate the Orrin Thompson south 40 acres.
This land is added to absorb existing sanitary sewer tnutk line capacity in the
area, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan land use objectives.
C. Land to the east of the current Citv limits would he removed from the OAA,
including both developed and undeveloped areas.
It is anticipated that the revised OAA bowidaries would be agreed to by the City and t he
-fowmship, then submitted to the Minnesota Municipal Board for final approval. In
addition, all existing petitions wvtdd be included as joint resolutions by the City and the
Township.
Interim Annexation Lines (e.g. Urban Servo cc Areas, etc.)
There would be no interim annexation lines within the revised OAA.
Annexation Initiation
Annexations of property within the revised OAA under this agreement would be by
Township Board or property ovvner petition only. l'he City agrees not to initiate
annexations avithin the OAA on its own resolution, with the sole exception for City -
/3 -Z
owned property. Moreover, the City agrees not to initiate any annexation by Ordinance.
For property owner petitioned annexation proposals within the OAA, including property
owned by the Citv, the Township Board herebv agrees to approve a joint resolution for
annexation, pending the approval of the City Council. If the Township Board initiates
an annexation request, the City %will consider location, service, and cost, among other
factors.
The City agrees to share the existing tax base of annexed parcels with the Township in
a decreasing amount over a period of years, depending upon the land use status of the
parcel at the time of annexation as recorded with the Wright County Assessor:
For all parcels annexed to the City from within the OAA, the City agrees to pay an
amount to the Township equal to the To-,ynship property tax on the date of annexation,
less ten percent of such tax for every twelve full months passed since the date of
annexation. The first payment shall be made within 30 days of the next May 15
following the date of annexation, and payments shall be made %within 30 days of each
successive May 15 thereafter, concluding with the I Oth payment.
This agreement creates a joint powers building and zoning authority over the OAA. The
City's Comprehensive Plan shall be the governing land use document within the OAA.
All requests for zoning, subdivision, or building permits and/or approvals shall first be
submitted to the City's Planning Commission in accordance with the appropriate process
for a recommendation to the City Council, where required. The City Council shall act
upon the request pro or con. If approved, the applicant shall then be subject to the
applicable County approval process. If denied by the City, only a successful appeal
through the City's normal appeal process would allow forwarding of the proposal to the
County. 'Ihe effect of the City's approval would be advisory to the County.
Timeof Annexations in the new OAA
There shall be no timing or staging mechanism in the new OAA agreement. All lands
within the OAA boundary. as revised, shall be considered urban or suburban in character,
and therefore ripe for annexation, pending appropriate initiation as described above.
13.3
Duration of Agreement
This agreement shall be in force for a period of ten years. Following the ten year period,
the agreement may be extended, renegotiated, revised, or allowed to lapse. Upon written
notification to the other party at least six months prior to the end of the ten year period,
either the City or Township can announce its intention to allow the agreement to lapse.
In the event no such notification is given, the agreement shall be automatically extended
for a period of five years. This agreement shall not be extended automatically for more
than one five year period. The parties may amend this agreement at any time prior
either to the end of the ten year period, or the end of the five year extension period.

Council Agenda - 1U10/97
A RFFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
The following memo is provided as an update and as preparation for a
meeting between the City, developers, and Sherburne County jurisdictions on
common planning issues and the Bridgeview Plat. The Bridgeview Plat is up
for preliminary plat approval at Sherburne County in early December. For
your information, I am providing you with the environmental assessment
worksheet on the project. City Council is asked to review the EAW and the
following information and give feedback to staff on the Planning
Commission's approach toward the meeting.
The development design calls for subdivision of the 213 -acre site into 83 lots
and will result in development of 55 acres of sensitive native woodland and
shoreline. According to the EAW, the natural area is identified on a
statewide survey of unique areas and represents some of the last remaining
oak/river woodlands. According to statistics on biodiversity, current oak
savannah acreage is less than .1% of oak savannah prior to settlement. The
developers are well within their rights in developing the land in the manner
proposed. The Planning Commission will he taking the opportunity to
explore ideas for enhancing the design through preservation of the natural
areas.
JOINT MEETING FORMAT
Representative Mark Olson will be moderating the meeting on November 18,
1997, at 7 p.m. at the River Inn. There will be a general discussion regarding
issues that may be common to the Planning Commission and others, followed
by specific discussion with regard to the Bridgeview Plat. The goal will be to
determine if there is common ground or interest among the developers,
Sherburne County, and Township officials to save the virgin woodland area.
Preservation could occur through development of a "cluster" concept under
county/township jurisdiction, or preservation could be accomplished through
development of a planned unit development that would require city services.
A planned unit development allowing 240 lots is allowable under Wild and
Scenic act regulations but would require extension of city utilities and
dedication of the 55 -acre natural area as park land. Extension of utilities
across the river may be affordable according to estimates.
The Planning Commission will be taking a very positive and cooperative
approach, being careful to listen to concerns by the Township regarding City
involvement. Planning Commission will be inviting discussion on the
Council Agenda - 11/10/97
potential of entering joint power agreements that would allow sharing of tax
base. Such agreements would provide the Township with the tax base they
need from the development and prohibit further City development, thus
preserving township borders beyond the Bridgeview Plat. As you probably
know, there is precedent in Sherburne County for joint agreements between
City and Township regarding tax base sharing. I am not familiar with the
City of Big Lake/Big Lake Township model, but perhaps this model can be a
start.
Please note that the Parks Commission reviewed the potential of managing
the 55 -acre parcel for park land and supports the concept of preserving this
area for future generations to enjoy.
Discuss meeting format and authorize the Planning Commission to
explore options for development of cooperative agreements between the
City, developer, and Townships which would allow preservation of
unique natural areas. This approach and reasons supporting the
approach are identified in the attached resolution.
Discuss meeting format and deny authorization to explore options for
cooperation.
This alternative should be selected if the City Council believes that the
natural area is not significant and efforts to preserve it are not
necessary or likely to be to costly or fruitless.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
There is nothing to lose and everything to gain by opening friendly
discussions with the developers and with our neighbors to the north. This is
"our" (Big Lake Township(Becker Township/Monticello City) last chance to
preserve a great natural treasure. It is important to determine if the
importance of preservation is shared by the Townships and County and to
determine if the City needs to be involved. Therefore, staff concurs with
Planning Commission and Parks Commission recommendations to open
discussion and actively explore avenues for cooperation.

11. Fish, Wildlife, and Ecologically Sensitive Resources
a. Describe fish and wildlife resources on or near the site and discuss tow they would be affected by the project. Describe any
measures to be taken to minimize or avoid adverse impacts.
Common species in the area include Ring-necked Pheasants, Whitetail Deer, Gray Squirrels, Rabbits, and
small rodents. The Mississippi River is adjacent to the site. The river supporta an aquatic ecosystem to
include Mussels, Northern, Carp, Walleye, Bass, etc., and water fowl.
There is a wetland located adjacent to the site, a paulustrine emergent seasonally flooded wetland. This
wetland is within the NSP Park land. A riverine lower perennial unconsolidated shore seasonally flooded
wetland is located on-site within the floodplain, as identified on the National Wetland Inventory Maps
prepared by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The upland area of the site is used by a variety of mammals and birds. Common species in the area include
ring-necked Pheasants, Whitetail Deer, Gray Squirrels, Rabbits, and small rodents. Upland plant
communities include row crops, grasses, and woodland including Bur Oak, Pin Oak with scattered Eastern
Red Cedar. Understory species include Cherry, Elm, Sumac, Prickly Ash, and Hazel. The sandy soil and
rolling terrain provides habitat for burrowing animals.
The primary land use will be convened from row crop agriculture to low density residential use. The lots are
a minimum of two acres in size, which will allow the developer, contractors and homeowners to protect
fragmented wooded areas if desired. Loss of wildlife habitat by this project will include open land and the
wooded area removed for street and home construction.
b. Are there any state -listed endangered, threatened, or special -concern spedes: rare plant communities; colonial waterbird nesting
colonies: native prairie or other rare habitat; or other sensitive ecological resources on or near the site? EYes D No
If yes, describe the resource and Crow it would be affected by the project. Indicate if a site survey of the resources was conducted.
Describe measures to be taken to minimize or avoid adverse impacts.
A portion of the plat, located mostly in section 34, township 33N, range 28W of Becker Township, has been
Identified on the Minnesoy Blalogjc-+! dao as 'Natural Plant Cotnmunitics and are identified as *oak
woodland/brushland' forest cover. Comments received from the Sherburne County forester, Tim Edgeton,
stated the following:
It Is one of only a few natural arras remaining in Sherburne County that typifies what
this county once looked like. These areas should be preserved as much as possible.
Platting this particular area Into 2 acre lots will destroy the plana and other features
that make this area unique. If a system were in place to acquire and preserve 'open
space', land such as this, would be top priority.
'Due to the extreme value of lard (historical. environmental. and Its potential), u there
are alternatives avallable to preserve even a few of the IS to 18 lots that are proposed
for this area. 1 strongly recommend that they be considered. It would also cause less
Impact on the landscape. If the lot sizes were considerably larger in this particular
area.'
According to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resource's Natural Heritage database, a Bald Engle's nest
was recorded on the site. It U located In the NE 1/4 of the SE U4 of the SW 1/4 of Section 27 in a wooded area
on the bluff within this project. The Bald Eagle Is of *Special Concern' in Minnesota and It federal status is
Threatened' The following was stated In a letter from Mary Miller from the DNA on October 30, 1996:
The nest with an Intubating female was found In 1994 and . although It was not used
In 1995 and 1996, the potential exists for the eagles to utilize It again In the future.
Eagles often build several nests in a territory and use different nests in different years.
In addition, the wooded areas along the river in the vicinity of the project are used by
the eagles for travel, feeding and roosting. It Is recommended that the exact location
of the nest be determined and that construction of homes and lawns be confined to
areas back from the bluff in the area of the nest and that a buffer of trees be
maintained around the site.'
101111097 Oq O.3
A representative from the DNR reported during a telephone conversation with the developers surveyor, that the
Eagles moved to an island adjacent to the NSP power plant in 1995 and 1996. The location of the Eagles is unknown
1997. During a site visit made by the surveyors on August 7, 1997, the nest was not visible and may have been
blown down by high winds in that area.
12. Physical Impacts on Water Resources WJI the project involve the physical or hydrologic alteration (dredging, S&V, stream diversion,

The storm water runoff from the proposed development will be collected in the road ditches, or backyard swales.
The backyard swales will outlet into the roadway ditch system. The roadway ditch system outlets to the Mississippi
River flood plain. The bluff line will be protected from erosion by collected storm water through construction of
small detention areas and culvert outlets. The outlets from the culverts will be protected from erosion with rip -rap
energy dissipation.

17. Erosion and Sedimentation Give the acreage to be graded or excavated and the cubic yards of soil to be moved:
Acres 18.9 ; cubic yards 26.000 .
Describe any steep slopes or highly erodible soils and identity them on the site map.
Describe the erosion and sedimentation measures to be used during and eget construction of the project.
During construction, silt fence and straw bale check dams will be used. Sherburne county requires sites to
be permanently seeded within 14 days of the completion of grading, unless there are critical areas of special
concern As stated by the developer, permanent seeding and disc anchored mulching will be performed within
72 hours of the completion of grading. The temporary erosion control devices will be removed when
permanent vegetation is established.
Steep slopes with highly erodible soils occur along the river bank of the Mississippi River. The Sandberg
Loamy Course Sand (258E) has slopes from 12 to 35 percent. A ridge of Sandberg runs north from the river
across several lots in the plat.
IS. Water Quality - Surface Water Runoff
a. Compare the quantity and quality of site runoff before and after the project. Desorbe methods to be used to manage and/or treat
runoff.
The quality of surface runoff will change from agricultural runoff to a more urban oriented type of runoff.
The rotated cropland will be converted to two acre lots. The runoff Is planned to be treated by vegetated
swales. The majority of the vegetated swales will be under 2% grade. This promotes infiltration and water
quality. The runoff from the road surface and the majority of the driveways shall be treated as described in
Section 4.9 of "Protecting Water Quality in Urban Areas Best Management Practices for Minnesota."
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Division Of Water Quality. The applicants drainage engineer has stated
that the driveways with culverts will act as check dams to promote Infiltration.
Barr Engineering and Sherburne County's engineering department will review all drainage, grading and
erosion control plans.
b. Identity the route(s) and receiving water bodies for runoff from cite site. Estimate the YrOact of the runoff on the quality of the receiving
waters. (If the runoff may affect a We consult 'EAW Guide/Las' about whether a nuewnf budget analysis is needed).
The runoff will now either overland, or through vegetated swales or culverts to the Mississippi River. A
minor increase In phosphorous may be expected, however, agricultural fertilizer application will be
eliminated. The degree of change that may octtu will depend on the amount and usage of urban lawn
fertilizers by future homeowners. The rate of sediments leaving the site prior to permanent vegetation being
established may Increase, however, once the permanent vegetation is established, the rate of sedimentation
should decrease as cropland Is converted to lawns.
19. Wator Quality - Wastewater
a. Describe sources, quantities, and compoartion (except for normal domestic sewage) of all sanitary and industnal wastowatem

Municipal waste collection Is performed by several Independent haulers who contract directly with private
individuals. The County, and nearby Cities, have recycling programs for glass, paper, and meal.
As indicated by the developer, some homeowners could keep horses. The horses would generate manure at
an estimated 15 pounds per horse per day. Disposal would be by spreading as fertWxer on the pasture.
Homeowners may Install fireplaces, or wood burning, stoves which produce ashes. Disposal of the ashes
would be by land spreading, or In the municipal wastes.

Traffic from the development will be dispersed primarily by County Road I 1 to Minnesota Hlghway 25, or to U.S.
Highway 10 by County Road 50. The volume of existing traffic near the project was measured at 4 locations close
to the site. The locations and measured ADT are as follows: County 11 adjacent to the site 5,600; County Road 11
southeast of the Intersection with County Road 50, 6,500; County Road 30 north of the intersection with County
Road I 11,050; County Road 50 southeast of the Intersection with County Road 11, 1,450.
-he Intersection of County Roads I I and 50 may require redesign and reconstruction. and is being evaluated with
.fe County Highway Department.
Presently, County Road 50 runs from Highway 25 west to Intersect County Road 11 and continues north. The
developer of this project Is proposing to dead end County (load 50 with a cul -de -sae before It reaches the intersection

connection to Highway 25 to Monticello or Big lake.
Vehicle related air emissions Provide an estimate of the effect of file projects traffic generation on air quality, including carbon
I levels. Discuss the effect of traffic improvements or other mitigation measures on au quality impacts. (If the project involves 500
or more parking spaces, consult 'EAW Guidelines' about whether a detailed air quality analysis is needed).
This project will not cause a significant decrease in air quality.
24. Stationary source air emissions Will the project involve any stationery sources of air emissions (such as boilers or exhaust stacks)?
❑ Yes ■ No
If yes, describe the sources, quantities. and composition of the emissions; the proposed au pollution oonbol devices; the quantities and
composition of the emissions after treatment: and the effects on air quality.
25. Will the oroiect generate dust. Odom. or noise during construction and/or operation? ■ Yes D No
If yes, describe the sources, characteristics. duration, and quantsies m intensity. and any proposed measures to mitigate adverse irnpacts. Also identify the
IOcatiens of sensitive receptors in the vicinity and estimate me impaGs on these recepton.
Fugitive dust will occur during the grading of the site. The soils on the site are susceptible to wind erosion.
Depending upon the wind and construction conditions, some nearby properties may be affected temporarily. Noise,
commonly associated with heavy equipment, will occur. The impacts have a nuisance value, but will be intermittent
and temporary.
26. Are any of the following resources on or in proximity to the site:
a. archeological, historical, or architectural resources? D Yes t No
b. pnme or unique farmlands? ❑ Yes ■ No
c. designated parks, recreation areas. or trails? ❑ Yes ■ No
d. scenic views and vistas? 0 Yes ❑ No
i. other unique resources? ❑ Yes t No
If any items aro answered Yes, describe the resource and identify any impacts on the resource due to the project. Descnbe any
measures to be taken to mininuze or ovoid adverse impacts.
Item a. The opinion of the Minnesota Historical Society is that there is "a good probability that unreported
properties may be present".
Item d. Much of the project adjacent to the Mississippi River Involves a steep bluffline and much of the
renufning shoreline Is covered by floodplain up to 300 feet back from the Aver. Although Sherburne
County has restrictions through ler Reaeatlanal River ordinance and Floodplain Ordinance on
shoreline alteration, homeowners are persistent In applying for alterations, or based on past
experience, some will alter the property without applying for a permit
If a buffer area was maintained as common ground, rather than pan of the Individually owned lots.
It would be much easier to protect the shoreline and the Impact torte from alterations, many of which
homeowrters would have the right to apply for under the ordinance. U private ownership of riparian
lots num to the river, It Is Likely that every landowner will be wanting a private stairway. Also, many
will remove trees. brush, and proceed with landscaping without approvals since they own to the river
and feel that with ownership comes the right to landscape their lot In whatever mace ner they please.
The wooded area on the site which Is classified as •'natural plant community' remains In ler original
state. It is one of the only areas In the County which has not been altered by human activity. It Is
designated as a 'oak wooWandlbmahland' forest cover. It will be impossible to maintain the integrity
of this area as platted. If the plat was designed to preserve this area as "open space" much of the site
could remain In Its natural stale.
Utilizing a PUD or a clustered design could allow for preservation of this natural area, and would
preserve the shoreline of the Mississippi River.
27. WW the project croato adverse visual impacts? (Erumples Yrhrdo' vers hem MIMIe Uplds; Ilphrs vW111e In aodomeas areas: and large

If yes, explain.
'S. Compatibility with plans Is the project subject to an adopted local comprehensive land use plan or any other applicable land use, water,
.r resource management plan o1 an local, regional, state. or federal agency? 0 Yes a Nc
If yes, identify the applicable plan(s) discuss the compatibility of the project with the provisions of the plan(s). and explain how any conflicts
between the project and the plan(s) will be resolved. If no, explain.
The project is subject to the Sherburne County Zoning Ordinance, the Recreational River Ordinance and the
Floodplain ordinance The majority of the site is zoned Recreational River District. Five lots are in the
Special Use District ( district within the Recreational District), and approximately IS acres are zoned for
Agricultural Use. All the lots meet the Recreational River District's zoning. For the project to conform to
the Zoning ordinance, the area zoned Agricultural will need to be rezoned, as the lots in this zone do not
conform to the ordinance.
The Agricultural zone allows a minimum lot size of 40 acres or 5 acres if wooded. If rezoning occurs, an
amendment to the Comprehensive plan would be required for that area which is currently zoned
"Agricultural".
Development of the "natural plant community" may be in conflict with the Environmental Protection Goals
of the Sherburne County Comprehensive Land Use Plan.'
Environmental Protection Goal MI

The City of Monticello Is directly south of this plat across the Mississippi River. Some investigation has been done
with the DNR. City staff artd the developer regarding the feasibility of running city sewer and water across the river
to this development. This would inevitably result in annexation In the city. There would be a significant increase
In the number of lots since the homes would be connected to city sewer and water, rather than each lot having its
c• -•n septic system and well.
v
It is anticipated that the City of Monticello may pursue this Investigation further as the following actions are
Identified In their city plan:
Initiate meetings with other jurisdictions to discuss the development options for land on the north bank of
the river.
Meet with existing land and business owners to discuss short and long tern pians for their properties on the
north bank of the river.
32. SUMMARY OF ISSUES (This section need not be completed if tiro 64W is being done for EIS scoping, instead address relevant issues
in the drag Scoping Decision document which must accompany the EAK9. List any impacts and issues identified above that may require
further investigation be" the project is commenced. Discuss any allematives or and igative measures that have been or may be considered
for these Impacts and issues, including those that have been or may be ordered as permit conditions.
Mississippi River shoreline protection
Preservation of 'Natural Plant Community'
Compatibility of the project with Sherburne County's Comprehensive Land Use Plaut and Zoning Ordinance
Soil suitabililty
The current design does not address the above issues. Wilting a Planned Unit Development or duster development
could allow for preservation of the Mississippi shoreline area and the natural plant community. This would also
better meet the environmental protection goal of the comprehensive land use plass for the County. This type of
development Is better suited to utilize alternative methods of septic treatment or community septic systems where
systems could be located on the most locations.
S Traffic
The issue of reallgr rnent of the intersection of County Road SO and County Road 11 will need to he further
addressed.

FROM: Monticello Planning Commission Chair, Dick FrioI
DATE: November 4, 1997
RE: Forum on local growth and development issues - Becker Township, Big Lake
Township, Monticello area
NOTE: MEETING HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED TO NOVEM13ER 18 AT 7 P.M.
As you know, the Monticello/Becker/Big Lake "community" is one of the fastest growing
areas in the state of Minnesota, land use decisions made today by each jurisdiction will
have far-reaching and lasting impacts on all of us. The Monticello Planning Commission
invites you to if special meeting to open a dialogue between neighbors on land use planning
issues and to discuss opportunities for StntilCounty/fownship/Developer cooperation in
development of the area known as the "Bridgeview Plat." The meeting is scheduled for
7 p.m., November 18, at the River Inn. The discussion will be moderated by Representative
Mark Olson.
With regard to the Bridgeview Plat, the Planning Commission would like to lake the
opportunity to review the design of the impending development and proposo alternatives
for enhancing the development through preservation of unique native woodland and
shoreline areas along the north bank of the river. The Planing Commission concepts fire
consistent with environmental goal #2 of the Sherburne County Plan, which states "Protect,
had with significant natural features such its the Mississippi River shoreline or areas of
native prairie or virgin woodland." Similarly, the Monticello Comprehensive Ilan cauls for
initiation of discussions with other jurisdictions find developers regarding development
along the river. On behalf of the Planning Commission, I look forward to the opportunity to
present and discuss possible strategies for teaming with the developer, 'rownship, and
County to accomplish mutual goals.
Thank you for considering attending this important meeting. !lease RSVI'to Wanda

RESOLUTION 87 -
RESOLUTION SUPPORTING PRESERVATION OF
55 -ACRE NATURAL AREA THROUGH COOPERATION
BETWEEN CITY OF MONTICELLO, SHERBURNE COUNTY,
BIG LAKE TOWNSHIP, AND BECKER TOWNSHIP
WHEREAS, according to the Bridgeview Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW ),
the plat area is comprised of 213 acres, of which a 55 -acre natural area has been
identified on the Minnesota County Biological Map as "Natural Plant Communities" and
are identified as "Oak wood land/brushland" forest cover; and
WHEREAS, the natural area has been untouched by agricultural or residential
development and is the only remaining example of this type of ecosystem in the
Monticello area; and
WHEREAS, the proposed Bridgeview Plat design is not compatible with the Sherburne
County Comprehensive Plan; environmental goal 112 states, "Protect land with
significant natural features such as the Mississippi River shoreline or areas of native,
prairie or virgin woodland"; and
WHEREAS, according to the EAW, County Forestor Tim Edgeton states, " It is one of
only a few natural areas remaining in Sherburne County that typifies what this county
once looked like. These areas should be preserved as much as possible. Plotting this
particular area into 2 -acre lots will destroy the plants and other features that make this
area unique. If a system were in place to acquire and preserve "open space," land such
as this would be a top priority"; and
WHEREAS, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Natural
Heritage Database, a Bald Eagle's nest was recorded on the site. Mary Miller from the
DNR recommends that construction of homes and lawns he confined to areas back from
the bluff in the area of the nest and that a buffer of trees be maintained around the site;
and
WHEREAS, according to Larry Kramka of the DNR, the Wild and Scenic Regulations
allow development densities at this location to increase from 83 units to 240 units
without a variance if developed with public utilities and if the 55 -acre natural area is
preserved in perpetuity in its natural setting; and
WHEREAS, the southern edge of the natural area extends along the northern edge of the
city of Monticello; and
WHEREAS, the Monticello Parks Commission supports inclusion of the Bridgeview Plat
nnturnl areas in the Monticello Parks system; and
WHEREAS, preliminary cost estimates indicate that it is financially feasible to extend
utilities from the city of Monticello to the Bridgeview Plat. The, cost to provide trunk
storm sewer is low as compared to other development property south of the freeway in
the city of Monticello; and
Resolution 97 -
Page 2
WHEREAS, the Bridgeview Plat, under Township jurisdiction, will result in 83 private
well and septic systems, while the City of Monticello has sufficient sanitary sewer and
water system capacity; and
WHEREAS, higher density development and associated shared use of natural areas
serve to meet State of Minnesota goals by reducing urban sprawl; and
WHEREAS, development of homes with high valuation will contribute toward balancing
Monticello's housing stock, which is a goal of the Monticello Comprehensive Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Bridgeview Plat, if located in the city, will enable Monticello citizens to
purchase executive "step-up" housing without having to leave the city limits; and
WHEREAS, the area Townships and Sherburne County do not have a parks system and
may not be equipped to manage natural areas; and
WHEREAS, the city park system, including ballfields, trails, park playgrounds, and river
parks are enjoyed by Sherburne County citizens; and
WHEREAS, the City of Monticello is the logical jurisdiction to provide municipal
services. Bridgeview residents will rely on the City to provide parks, library, community
center, ice sheets, aquatic centers, etc.; and
WHEREAS, due to proximity to the city, future residents of the Bridgeview Plat area
will identify their residence with the city of Monticello; and
WHEREAS, there are many examples of cities with land areas on both sides of a river
and in two counties; and
WHEREAS, development of the site under an urban setting provides a larger market
base for area businesses and institutions; and
WHEREAS, the Monticello Planning Commission supports working cooperatively with
the Township and County toward preservation of the natural nreas; and
WHEREAS, expected high home valuation resulting from a desirable river setting and
nssociated taxes generated by the site are projected to exceed the cost to provide
municipal services, thus serving to justify n city/township tax -sharing progrnm; and
WHEREAS, it is projected that the cost to provide services to high value homes under
Township jurisdiction is significantly less than the tax revenue generated, thus it is
anticipated that annexation of the area to the city of Monticello is not supported by the
Township without a tax -sharing program; and
WHEREAS, there aro no pro -existing orderly annexation ngreements between the City of
Monticello and Becker Township or Big Lake Township governing annexation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED TIIAT, contingent on developer, Township,
County, and Stale Agency support: IT
� y,
Resolution 97 -
Page 3
1. The City of Monticello supports development of a joint powers and/or tax -sharing
program that will assure preservation of Township revenue projected had
development occurred as originally proposed under the Bridgeview Plat.
2. The City supports development of joint powers agreements that prohibit further
extension of city utilities without approval from townships.
3. The City will support creative development of the Bridgeview Plat area as a
planned unit development.
4. The City will provide municipal services to Bridgeview Plat residents.
5. The City of Monticello will seek assistance from the Stale of Minnesota and/or
environmental groups in the form of direct grants to help support the coat of the
project.
6. The City of Monticello will manage natural areas in perpetuity for enjoyment by
residents of the Bridgeview Plat/Sherburne County and Monticello residents.
7. The City of Monticello will work cooperatively with the developer to design a site
plan that maximizes potential for economic return while preserving natural areas
and complying with the Wild and Scenic Act regulations. This includes
development of a portion of the lots with private access to the river.
8. The City of Monticello and developer will conduct engineering studies necessary
to determine design and feasibility of utility system extension, the cost of said
studies to be incorported into the financing of the improvement project.
9. Storm sewer facilities will be designed to assure pruper treatment and metering
of storm water run-off.
10. In lieu of development of the site under City jurisdiction, the City of Monticello
supports re -design of the plat under a cluster housing design and requests that
environmentally sensitive areas be protected and managed by Sherburne County
as a natural area for the Monticello/Becker/Big Lake community to enjoy.

iNatural Areas—A Review of Benefits to Communities
Storehouses of biological dirrmity
Natural areas arc irreplaceable storehouses of biological divcrsity, suppotiing ele-
ments and processes that literally make life on earth lxnsible. Sharing the planet
with a diversity of species enriches out lives, and safeguards intlxutant genetic
material that may be vital to futurc advances in medical research and our culture's
Ability to confront diwaws that threaten essential fixed crops.
Community appeal to new retidrnts, familia, and tourism
Protection of natural areas promotes the overall livability and vitality of wmmu-
oities, offering not only quality ait and dtinking water, but slur scenic bcawy
and oplxsrtunitics for low -impact rccrcatiun (birdwatching, hiking) enjoyed by i
residents and tourists alike. Gins unities with ample natural areas and alien
space arc considered good places &sr children, and ober high quality of life to all
residents.

Low-cost storanruatrr management and flood control
Natural oras reduce the rate and volume of stounwater tunufl, dtereby teduting
dee inciderux and severity of flotuting and erosion. When development teplates

natural areas and other areas of vegetated groundeover, communities either mast
undertake the great expense of installing and maintaining elaborate stormwatcr
management systems or will sustain repeated episodes of property damage relat-
ed to flooding and loss of agricultural production due to topsoil erosion.
Purification system far drinking water and surface waren
Vegetated natural areas safeguard the quality of surface and groundwater (drink-
ing water sources) by reducing the sediment load that enters waterways and by fil-
tering out toxins and excess nutrients. When natural areas are lost to develop-
ment—especially when vegetation is replaced by impervious surfaces (such as
pavement) or when an area is subjected to chemical -intensive land uses—ground-
water may become increasingly compromised over time, creating a public health
concern for communities reliant upon wells for drinking water, and/or necessi-
tating expenditure for purification systems to meet drinking water standards.
Decreases in surface water quality have a negative impact on resource -related eco-
nomic activities such as fishing, boating, and tourism.
Contribution to air parity
As is true of vegetated landscapes in general, natural areas promote air purity by
utilizing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. Air quality has direct implications
for human health, in particular as regards the incidence and severity of respiratu-
ry diseases. protection of natural areas can las part of a community's overall plan
to promote a healthy living environment for its citizens.
lnerrased property value
While protected natural areas on public or private land may in sono cases be .sub•
legit to a reduced property tax rate, the designation of a site as a natural area is
commonly viewed as an amenity that commands a preutium for adjacent lands in
the real estate market that results in an increase in the prupeny value—and thus,
the property tax contribution—of adjacent lands.

taking into consideration such factors as the conservation value of the site and the
scope (real estate value and acreage) of the transaction.
If a site has outstanding ecological value, it is possible that a local unit of govern-
ment will be able to identify a private comervation organization of public agency
that is interested in acquiring the land for protection as a natural area. Chances of
success arc better if the site is
• known to contain a rare species
• of significant size
• adjacent ul land that is already protected lin its natural hhatacter

projects, public education initiatives, as well as acquisition of land and case-
ments that serve as a buffer to prevent nonpoint pollution from entering
waterways. Examples include awards of $100,000 each to the City of
Chanhassen to help the city implement a plan to protect the Bluff Creek
Watershed, and to the Scott County Soil and Water Conservation District to
purchase casements on floodplains and shorelines in the Minnesota River
Valley. Eligible recipients for TCQI grants include local units of government,
watershed management organizations, nonprofit and trade organizations, and
private property owners. Program grants support up to 75% of the cost o(eli-
gible projects (applicants must provide 25%), with a cap of $100,000 in sup-
port provided to a project in any one grant period. For qualifying criteria and
applications, call or write: Metropolitan Council, Mears Park Centre, 230

Mulcahy, Tcl. (612) 602-1104.
G State Funding Sources. A Sampling of Grants d Programs
The following state programs fall in one u( two broadly defined categories: they
either 1) assist local govcrnntcnu with acquisitions of land or casements, or they 2)
provide funds directly to landowners so that protection is accomplished without the
direct involvement of (or expenditure of funds by) a basal government. In the case
of the latter, the role of government can be to inform landowners of these voluntary
options. (Sec also, Note to Readers, p.75, for additional resources regarding state
funding sources.)
�( • Natural and Scenic Area Grant Program
/ A matching grant program administered by the MN Department of Natural
Resources, the Natural and Scenic Arca Grant Program provides giants to
local units of government, providing up to 50% of' the cost of fee title acqui-
sition, perpetual cnnservalion easements, and henerntcut of nanual and
scenic areas. proposals must have a minimum 10131 project cost of $111,111111.
Maximum grant is $200,000. Cities, counties, townships and school disnias
arc eligible.
This grant program has hcllvd make it possible for many conununitics ter ac-

acquire twenty-five acres of land forested in mixed hardwoods (maple, bass-
wood, red oak, and elm) to prevent future development that would negative-
ly impact the viewshcd of a scenic roadway and the integrity of the adjacent
Seven Mile Creek park. the City of Red Wing was also a recipient of a
Natural and Scenic Area Grant for the Coon Hill project (Sec case study, it.

• Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund, Future
Resources Fund and Great Lakes Protection Account
Minnesota's Environment and Natural Resources]*rust Fund derives its fund-
ing from a constitutionally dedicated portion (40%) of the net proceeds From
the state lottery, or roughly 74 of each dollar spent on lottery tickets. Invntetl
in bonds and stacks, the interest and earnings front the fund arc used to sup-
port an array of grant programs and projects that promote a quality natural
environment in the statc. The Future Resources Fund is from a portion of the
cigarette tax, and supports new, innovative of accelerative natural resource
projects designed mo help maintain and enhance the state's natural resources.
The (.',real lake Protection Account is derived from the state's contribution
rt the Great lakes Protection Fund, and is designated lir programs that pro-
tect water quality in the Great lakes.
Recommendations on allocations from these funds are made to the state leg-
islature by the I.cgislative Commission on Minnesota Rcsoutccs (LCMR), a
hipartisan joint legislative conuninec. Ihojcct pngoosals may be submitted by
public w private entities (liar example, state and local units of government,
universities, conservation gtuups, individuals) working indgxndently ut—
more commonly—organized as coalitions working in p,uuterships on a given
project. Proposals arc accepted in alternate years. Projects rccununcndcd by
the LCMR are lorwatalcd no the state legislattuc tot be wnsidctcd lin p,rssagc
and appropriation of lirnds.
Through this process, applicants have received funding supp>.on lit a broad
spectrum of projects, including the acquisition ill' land and easerments. In
1996, for example, the LCMR recommended legislative approptiatiuns of
575,0(H) for a project that will result in acquisition of eAwntcnts lr) pooled up
to 250 acres in the Cannon Riven Watershed ucu Fmibault, MN, and
$396,000 to fund acquisition of up tut N(H) ares of prairie grasslands and

(which vary each funding cycle), contact. LCMR, 100 Constitution Ave.,
Rm. 65, State Office Bldg., St. Paul, MN, 55155,-Icl. (612) 296-2406.
• Minnesota Native Prairie Bank Program
The Minnesota Native Prairie Bank program is used to acquire conservation
easements from landowners for land covered in native prairie vegetation.
Local governments in parts of the state that host native prairie vegetation may
wish to inform private landowners of this voluntary option.
Priority is given to perpetual (permanent) easements. land must meet certain
specifications to be eligible, and funding is limited. payment to the landown-
er for permanent easements may equal more than half of the estimated mar-
ket value of the land. The Minnesota Native Prairie Bank 1'rogram is one of
a suite of programs that receives its funding from the Reinvest in Minnesota
Resources Fund (RIM).This legislatively appropriated fund supports an array
of conservation activities, with private lands programs administered by due
Board of Water and Soil Resources and public lands programs administered
by the Minnesota DNR. For information on the Minnesota Native 1'rairic
Bank program, contact: Prairie Biologist, DNR Scientific and Natural Areas
program, 1221 East Fir Avenue, Fergus Falls, 1%1N, 56537.
A Federal PrWams
• Intermodal Surface Transportation Firiciency Act (ISTEA)
Federal ISTEA funds are allocted uo states fior the purpose of enhancing the
nations transportation system, which can include the acquisition of land and
casements that protect scenic and natural areas located within broadly
defined transportation corridors. Minnesota acquisition projects that have
utilized ISTEA funds include Cedar Lake Park, Minneapolis, and a natural
arca/scenic overlook in the Mississippi blu01md region of Winona County.
ISTM will finance up to 80%of a project, with the remaining 20'10 financed
by the state or Incl sponsors. For information, coutaa: Surface Transpor-

Case Study
v I I A 5howca5e for Creative Financing—The City of Red Wing Acquiree a Natural Area
Red Wing is a river city, its main street just a few blocks
from the Mississippi, and its neighborhoods cradled in
the valleys between dramatic sandstone and dolomite
bluffs. It is a city that knows the importance of pro-
tecting its blufllands: for their rugged beauty, their sen-
sitivity to erosion and related impact on water quality,
their appeal to visitors and residents, and the natural
communities they support. Preservation of open space
in general, and of the blufflands in particular, is cited
as a goal in the City's Comprehensive plan.
Accordingly, when the opportunity arose to protect a
major portion of the 180 -acre bluff known as Coon—
as in raccoon—Hill, residents and city officials went
into action. Nearly half the hill was already in public
ownership, owned by the local school district. the
remainder was in private ownership.'llse owner of the
largest privately -held parcel, a 72-acrc property,
already had an offer pending on the property from a
developer. Rut she was willing to consider other after -
natives, including the possibility that the City might
acquire the land to protect it as a community nmural
area.
llsat the City was eventually successful in acquiring
the property is a great accomplishment in itself, in
that a future is slow secured for tire hluff`s oak fittest
and prairie wildlife, rare planta and other natural fea-
tures. But the success takes on even greater meaning
when one considers how it was accomplished. Of the
teal funding package put together for the project,
$15,000 was failed by a grassnots citircn initia-
tive.Organired as the "Coon Hill 14cscrvation
Project." the group launched a artnntunity-wide
appeal, engendering donations from local businesses.

ing $11.05 raised by a childrens' lemonade stand. the
Red Wing Wildlife League donated a piece of proper-

the resulting $27,000 put toward the Corm Hill
effort. The City applied for—and received—a
$45.750 Natural and Scenic Arca Grant Gum the
Local Grants program of the Department of Natural
Resoutces (DNR). the landowner decided to donate
twenty of her seventy-two acres, and three adiaccnt
landowners donated an additional seven acres too

COUNCIL UPDATE
November 7, 1897
Setting meeting date for additional hudeet workshop session. (R.W.)
Based on direction provided by the Council at the first budget workshop session, I
am completing revisions to a proposed budget document that would show possible
ways of reducing the tax levy by approximately $230,000. This would be one option
the Council could consider at its next budget workshop, which should be scheduled
soon. Revised budget documents will be completed on Monday and will be handed
out Monday night or mailed to the Council.
Since our budget adoption hearing is scheduled for December 3, Council may want
to consider meeting during the week of November 17. A meeting during this week
should provide staff with sufficient time to complete a final budget for the
December 3 hearing.
