Ricky ant Recky Ilaugoto.
With Richard and Robocca Huuyeto pre:wnt, R:churd It.myet.o requested
n nideyard variance to bu iId a 26 foot by 26 100t Attached garago
to his home to within 12 foot of the property lut line. Iiia home
Is located at 37 Fairway Drive, Cauitry Club F.,nor. Mr. Ila ugeto'n
house in currently act back 36 feet frnn the went property lot Ilnc
which currently moats City ordinance requirements. By adding the
26 foot by 26 foot garaqu , a variance wuuld be necessary since the
wort side of the garage would be within 12 foot of the property
lot line. Ordinance roquiroo a 20 foot not back on a corner lot
unless a variance is requested.
Abutting property owner to the west wan notified of the put+lic
hearing and did not oxpreos any opposition to the variar.co
tcquoot.
The Planning Co®isoion mcaboro questioned Mr. Ilaugoto as to the
roaoon for building the attached double car garage and Mr. Haugoto'e
rouponou was that he wanted the additional room of a two car garage
to otora bout his vehicles insides. The Planning Cameionion
members questioned the neod for the 2 car garage when the aide
yard rstback on the oast aide in 20 foot when only 10 foot is
rcyuired. Mr. Mrrvin George, owner of the development, spoke up
to buplort otatemento an to why the property was situated such
that the houoo could be built with a single attached garago only.
Planning Commission Minutes - 7/5/83
Mr. George stated that HUD requirements on the sideyard variance
on the bedroom side of the house which would have been on the
cast side of the house requires a 20 foot sideyard setback. The
Planning Commission members also questioned,with the encroachment
into the 20 foot sideyard setback on the corner lot, whether the
road would be further developed or possibly widened as this may
cause a hindrance to the new garage that is being built. City
Administrator, Tim Eidem, stated that the Golf Course Road which
is currently of rural design yet and when the road is to L:e
expanded or widened, the now road would meet current City standards
which would eliminate the road ditch, therefore, curb and qutvir
would be installed along the new road. The Planninq Cc-nissic:
members also asked Mr. George how many mor,- variances would Lr.
noceasary to complete his addition, :,;n,:- tLLCre has b,en a num,ruus
amount of variances requested. Mr. George uLdted that possibly
two or three may I,c needed on adjacent properties like this
corner lot, but with property placement of thc house and garage
on the property, Mr. George hoped to keep this variance request
at a minimum. Taking into consideration some of the statements
that were stated above, by granting the variance request would
make a definite improvement to the property, therefore,a motion
was made by Don Cochran, seconded by Fd Schaffer to recommend
approval of the variance request allowing the garage to be built
t.ithin 12 feet of the property lot line. Voting in favor were
Ridgeway, Cochran, Carlson, Dowling and Fchaffer. The motion
war, carried unanimously.
S. Public hlcarinq - Conditional Uce Requent - Minor Auto B,aiy Shop
Repair - Patrick Townsend.
Mr. Pat Townrend was present with his partner to diacuoo with
Planning Commiusion members an additional item to their con-
ditional use permit that they txt allowed to do major auto body
repair, meaning a complete paint job could be done undar major
auto hody repair. Mr. Townuend stated that he thought this wan
all straightened out at tho previous meeting of April 12th, when
he wan granted a ccnditional uce {ie unit to do minor auto repair.
The Planninq Commission members ut.rted that during the time of Lhe
converuation, no mention wan made of deinq auto body work at Llu r
facility. Planning Commiusion m,•mber Jim 1•idgeway ri•qucstrd any
citizen'u eoimento regardinq this item and Mr. a Mr.,. tied Topel
utated there wan much eongorticn of vehicleu and blockage of
traffic on the I•r'iwito lot awned by Mi. l.uiy i'laku and also the
owner of the huilding which fu'. Townoimd iu rcntinq. This boinq
private property, traffic through Lhe properly could actually be
blocked off, but due to tho w,eage of the tiaffic through the
private property, not only used for Mr. Towncend'u business but
also for Mr. Joneu's huuinvi,u and other buuincauec, in the block.
Mr. Jones wan also prevent tcalhido to the parking problems and
congeution of traffic from Mr. Townrend'u buuinoca, stating that

affected property owners and come to a workable solution. Mr.
Townsend indicated that he does tie up traffic when he is
moving vehicles in and out of his shop for repair, but that
it is not only these vehicles but also potential customers and
other business's customers. Mr. Townsend stated that he is
willing to come up with some parking problem solution, therefore ,
possibly using the the open adjacent space on the west side of
the property to park additional vehicles. Mr. s Kra. Topel also
brought up the fact the employees of Mr. Townsend's business
park their cars in the driveway, but Mr. Townsend stated that
his employees park their vehicles at his home. The Planning
Commission members, "king into consideration the parking
problems and that they be resolved by joint coa®unication among
all the affected property owners, a motion was made by Ed
Schaffer, seconded by Don Cochran to approve the following
conditional use request contingent upon the following conditions

Mel Wolters wau present to discuss his flea market roquest. Ilia
intention is to allow small homearicis, hited people and/or young
peol:le to sell goods out of a stand or out of the back of a vehicle.
Kr. Wolters indicated that numerous people have approached him in
regard to ceiling small quantities of food or other items out of
thu back of their vehicles on the adjact�nt lot to his property by
the Dairy Queen. Kr . Wol tero stated to these people that Choy
have to contact City hall for a pwrmit. Tim direction of the

Live information of the transient merchant action of the Monticello
','ening Ordinance wa:: explained by City hlminit.tiator, Tum Cudem, an
to the fee schedule, that being a very hryh fee for a one day uau.
Planuiug Commission Minutes - 7/5/83
The intended use of the high fee is to discourage transient merchants,
those people from other areas coming into Monticello t- sell their
goods and then leaving town within one day. we have businessmen
already selling this merchandise on a day to day basis, 365 days out
of the year. Mr. Wolters felt this item should came to a head either
by addressing an ordinance amendment to allow flea markets or address
a change in the transient merchant fee schedule. The Planning
Commission membt:rs noted that they would like citizen's partici-
pation or input from the citizens. A motion by Ed Schaffer, seronded
by Joyce Dowling to table a request for an ordinance amendment and
ask for a date for a public hearing. Members voting in favor were
Schaffer, Dowling, Cochran, Carlson and Ridgeway. This motion was
carried unanimously. The next regularly scheduled meeting of the
Planning Commission of August 9th, 1983, was tentatively scheduled

like to place the water and sewer lines under this area for ,.rvice
to the back property lot. with the front prolvrty lot being serviced
frran a service stub already in the strret, Mr. Sandberg said he would
be responsible for the new water and sewer service lines to the rear
property lot. Also, since there is no curb cut in to service the
front property lot, if a driveway entrance wore to be put in onto
River Street, Mr. Sandberg would be responsible fcr the curb cut
oxpenao. lie also indicated that hs cuuld enter tl.0 property through
a designated street, Now Street, which terminates at the River.

planning Comminsion members that there are areas along Fast River

AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
Public Nearing - W.J. Murphy- Front Yard Setback Variance.
Mr. W.J. Murphy has requested a front yard setback variance to
build an addition to the north of the existing Americ-Inn to
within 18 feet of the front property line. The Americ-Inn is
located at 118 Lauring Lane. According to the site plan enclosed
with the agenda, the Americ-Inn is currently set back approximately
158 feet from the north front property lot line which currently
meets City ordinance requirements. By adding on the proposed
39 unit addition to the Americ-Inn, a variance would be necessary
as the north side of the motel would be within 18 feet of the
front property lot line. Qrdinance requires 30 foot setback
unless a variance is granted. If the variance is granted
allowing the addition to be built within 18 feet of the
front property line, it should probably be noted that the
furtherest front portion of the proposed addition to the
building would be no farther than the parking spaces that
are in at Perkin's, the northeast portion of the Perkin's
property. With the proposed addition, additional parking
spaces would be proposed with the employeo'a parking to be
at the oast side of the existing hscric-Inn building with
parking on the east aide of the proposed addition to be
used only for motel tenants.
As you will note in the enclosed site plan, Mr. Murphy is
also proposing to develop other portions of his lot also as
part of his overall motel expansion project.
POSSIBLE ACTICNi Consideration of approving or denying the
variance request to allow the addition to the motel to be
built within 18 foot of the front property line, a 12 foot
variance.

4. Public Hearing - Conditional Use Request - Sign Relocation -
Blocher outdoor Advertising.
Mr. Del Blocher has requested a conditional use permit to re-
locate an outdoor advertising sign from Lot 5 to Lot 11, Thomas
Park Addition. The relocated sign zddition would be in Lot 11,
Thomas Park Addition. To give you some background on the signs
itself, there were two existing wood structure signs located
on Lots 5 and 9, Thomas Industrial Park. Since these two signs
were existing before our sign ordinance was adopted, they were
grandfathered in. Mr. Blocher noting that his lease was about
to expire on Lot 5 had asked for a variance to relocate the sign
from Lot 5, Thomas Park Addition, across the freeway to Lot 12,
Block 2, Lauring Hillside Terrace Addition. Upon the approval
of the sign relocation, the old wood sign would be replaced with
a new single pole metal sign. The Planning Commission, at its
May 12th meeting, denied the proposed variance request for sign
relocation and an appeal was made by Mr. Blocher to the Council
which at their May 26, 1981 mectingwas also denied for relocation.
In July of 1982, Mr. Blocher again made a variance request to
replace these two outdoor signs with a now single pole
sign made of oteel. At that meeting, Mr. Blocher received
approval from the Planning Commission to replace the two existing
wood sign structures in Thomas Industrial Park, Lots 5 and 9,
with new steel single structures that would be appropriately
landscaped and of uniform sign consistent with the size of the
new signs.
Mr. Blocher, upon approval from the Planning Commission, did
remove the old wooden sign and replaced it with a now steel
sign on Lot 9, Thomao Industrial Park, but did nothing at that
time with the old wooden sign located on I.ot 5, Thomas In-
dustrial Park Addition. Henceforth now at our August 9th,
Planning Commiusion meeting, we will be approached by Mr.
Blocher with a requoat to put up the cocond additional
sign in which he did originally receive a approval in the
July 13th, 1982 Planning Commission meeting, only he would
like to relocate the sign fres Lot 5, which was originally
grantcd,to Lot 11, Thomao Park Addition. The sign would be
very similar to the aamo sign that now oxioto on Lot 9, Thomau
Park Addition, but only to be relocated from Lot 5, Thomau Park
Addition, to Lot 11, Thomau Park Addition.
Pos SIBLE ACTIa;1i Consideration of approving or donyinq the
conditional uoo request to allow anoutdoor advertioing uign
be located from Lot 5. Thomas Park Addition to Lot 11. Thomas
Park Addition.

Del Blocker, of Blocker Outdoor Advertising, has m.ide an application
to erect an off -premise sign (billboard) of 200 or more square feet,
on Wt 12, Block 2, Iauring Hillside Terrace. This property is
zoned R-3.
Mr . Blocker, who now owns two signs of similar description in Thomas
Park, is contemplating building a new sign as above described on
Lot 12, Block 2, in lauring Hills1de Terrace, and giving the City
of Monticello a letter relinquishing his "grandfather rights" to
those signs in Thomas Park. This action was prompted when Mr. Blocker
was notified by the people who own the property on which these signs
were located in Thomas Park notif led him that the property was going
to be sold and that his signs would have to be removed. Nr. Blocker's
concern at this point is that he would like to continue with outdoor
advertising in Monticello, and is willing to continue with outdoor
advertising under whatever type of variance that might be available
to him working cooperatively with the city in similar circumstances P
as was granted the other sign owner rs wirhin the city at recent Planninq
Commission and Council decisions that billboards would have to be
removed whenever anot.het ptincipal knic wan developed on the property.

Planning Commission 5/12/81
Also, it is a proposal to amend the Orate Building Code, as provided
for in the Minnesota statutes, to provide a stricter fire prevention
standard in Section 1214 of the Uniform Building Code (UBr_) which
would be adopted as ttatcd, "Doors hetween the garage and the dwelling
shall he self-closing." This amendment is prompted because most
fires in which life is lost, happen within individual homes, and
that statistics show that many of those fires which destroy a life
in a home are started in a garage and thus move on into the dwelling,
in many cases, because doors are left ajar and open. By adopting
an amendment which would require the door to be self-closing,
whenever someone left the door open it could automatically close,
thus thwarting any fire which may start in the garage and ultimately
move into the building.
APPLICANT: City of Monticello.
OONSIDERATION: Consider recommending approval or denial of these two
ordinance amendments which would increase the standards required for
fire safety.

4. Public Hearin - Variance Request - Blocher Outdoor Advartisinq.
Mr Ice Everson, a representative of the Blocher outdoor Advertis-
ing Company, was present to make a request that Blocher Outdoor
Advertising be allowed to take down two outdoor advertising signs
of 200 square feet or more (billboards) from their locations in
the Thomas Industrial Park and replace those signs with single
pole signs similiar to those which they developed on the north
side of I-94 on the Ieuring Hillside Terrace.
Approximately two years ago, the Planning Commiosion allowed
Blocher Outdoor Advertising to take down two woolen structures
on the north side of I-94 and replace those wooden structures
with now steel, single pole structures which were landscaped.
At this time, the request from the Blocher outdoor Advertising
Company would be to do the same thing to the existing wooden
structures on the south lido of I-94.
Mr. Jim Franklin,of Pranklln Outdoor Advertising Com,mny, was
present to inquire as to why Blocher nut.oluor Advertising would
be allowed to remove wooden atruetures and replace them with now
steel otructureo, and if so, would Blocher Outdoor Advertising
be allowed to replace th000 signs with larger units than aro
presently located on those cites. It wao pointed out to Mr.
Franklin that at the tim, Blocher outdoor Advertising wan
allowed to replace the wooden otruetureo with oteol otzucturoo
that a uniform sign size ohould to w'pd on hoth now otructurco,
therefore one sign was allowed to hx olihhtly increased in uize
while the other woo reduced olightly In ,size.
A motion wan made by John llonduo and co-ronded by Joyce Dowling
and received unanimouo approval to grant t1w, variance to Blocher
outdoor Advertising to roplac., the lwo oxinting wooden oign
btructures In Thomao Indunt,rinl Park with new steel, ninglo polo

proximately two yearn ago.

5. Public Hearing - Variance Feguest - Number of Parking Spaces
Required - St. Henry's Catholic Church.
St. Henry's Catholic Church is currently in the process of
accepting bids for their proposed addition to their existing
church. With the complexity of the church building
project, the members have decided themsolves to take on the
parking lot project as a separate project. In that text
they are requesting a variance from the maximum to allow less
than the required amount of parking spaces. with the proposed
building addition, the church would be expanding approximately
550 seats based on 22 inch seating which in our parking require-
ments requires one stall per 4 seats, which in this case 138
stalls would be required. In the proposed parking lot plan they
have 152 stalls to be provided. In the attached parking lot plan
properties are in placement and have been accounted for in the
design of the proposed parking lot.
POSSIBLE ACTION. Consideration of recommending approval or denial
of the variance request for less than the required amount of
parking spaces for the parking lot of St. Henry's Catholic Church.
REFERENCES. A map depicting the location of the property and a
certificate of survey and a parking lot oito plan. A photo
depicting the area to be used for parking in comparison with

6. Public Hearinq - Rear Yard Variance Request - Variance Request
to Allow Less Parkin q Spaces than the Required Amount -
Mr. Jim Powers.
Mr. Jim Powers is proposing to build a new Health Club near
Hwy 25 north.With the location of his proposed building on the
existing lot, the building would encroach into the rear yard
setback requirement. Mr. Powers is requesting an 18 foot
variance request to build within 12 feet of the rear property
lot line. This seems to be the beet possible placement of the
proposed addition on the existing property allowing for future
expansion in 1984 to the north of the proposed building and
also allowing for the parking to the north of the existing
proposed building. In the layout of the parking area for the
proposed now building, according to the number of parking spaces
required for this type of building, Mr. Powers would come up
short the number of required spaces. At this time, Mr. Powers
does have an option on tot 4, which is directly behind the
Glass Hut, for additional parking space that may be required
with any now expansion. Some additional parking could be
designed to the southeast of the existing proposed expansion
area. Preferably Mr. Powers would like to use this area
for proposed parking at ouch time as so deemed with the
project expansion slated in 1984.
POSSIBLE ACTION, Consideration of approving or denying the
variance request to allow the proposed now building to be
placed within 17 feet of the roar property lot line, an 18
foot variance roqueo t. Also, consideration of approving or
denying the variance request to allow loco than the required
amount of parking spaces.

Public Bearinq - Proposed Amendment Request to the Ordinance
to Allow Flea Markets in a B-3 Zone .
As you may recall, at our last regularly scheduled Planning
Commission meeting on July 5, 1983, Mr. Mel Wolters was
present requesting that an ordinance be allowed to have
flea markets in the City of Monticello. The Planning Com-
mission, at that time, took into account remarks by Mr.
Wolters and also by City Staff and regulations that may be
adhered to as part of a condition to allow flea markets in
a B-3 zone. As of the date of the preparation of the agenda
supplement, I have heard no response from the public in
regard to the public hearing request for a flea market. Taking
this response lightly, I will again enclose a suggested list
which was supplied to you as an agenda supplement for the
July 5, 1983 meeting indicating a suggested list of regulations
for a proposed flea market. Taking into consideration approval
or denial of this request, any regulations that are set
as a condition to the conditional use request be so that all
items are covered in the operation of a flea market in a B-3
zone. Particular emphasis on parking apace required, restroom
facilities, sanitation facilities, property size and taking
into conaidoration future expansion.
POSSIBIZ ACTIONi Approval or denial of a condition uaa to
allow flea markets in a B-3 zone.
