First of all, a typographical error should be corrected on the revised preliminary plat. "Ander" should have an "s" at the end and should read "Anders". As you may recall during the April 30th meeting, it was gen- erally agreed that because of the indecision on installing storm sewer, as recommended in the Comprehensive Plan, we would pursue this plat on a stage basis, thereby not compelling the developer to a large amount of money for any storm sewer in that the development would be carried out over a several year period. In the interim, temporary ponding for storm water would be provided and an development increased the ultimate storm sewer system would be installed. The revised prelimin- ary plat as submitted does not make any provision for carrying off the drainage from the lots, Phase No. 1, fronting on Prairie Road other than draining to the north ditch of Prairie Road. As you know, we have provided for temporary ponding on the south side of Prairie Road in the dedicated park land of Balboul Estates with an overflow culvert under Prairie Road to the north and into the Maus plat before he contemplated development. !low - ever, with the lowland on the north side of Prairie Road now sched- uled for development, i.e. Lots 8, 9, 10, Block 1, this drainage pattern will be obstructed and the drainage from Maus' plat Mr. Gary Wieber June 11, 1979 Page Two during heavy rainstorms would drain to this culvert and back into Balboul Estates' park which could create nuisance floodin,. would, therefore, recommend that the Clover Circle cul-de-sac be graded and a ditch continued north such that the runoff is directed toward the railroad tracks and to the culvert between Lots 15 and 16, Block. 1, under the railroad tracks. Also coupled with this, that portion of Clover Circle from Prairie Road to the rear of the lots in Phase I should remain a rural section with ditches on both sides to conform with the Prairie Road ditches up until the time Prairie Road is developed as an urban street and storm sewer is provided as recommended in the Comprehensive Plan. The Phase I preliminary plat seems to be in order with the pro- vision that the long-term drainage solution must be addressed at the time further platting is contemplated for this area.

Consideration of a variance Request - James Refrigeration. James Refrigeration Co., developer of the Tom Thumb Superette, has made application to install a special type of pre -formed curbing around the parking area of that store at the Intersection of Oakwood Drive and Highway 25 (copy of the brochure explaining this curbing is enclosed). Their request is based upon price and speed for installation. This type of curbing is much less expensive than what we presently require and can most likely be installed in one -day's time. The sales representative for the company who manufactures this curb would show anyone who is interested some installations of this pro- duct in the Metro area. Possibly, the sales representative will be present at the meeting on the 19th to answer questions. Additionally, the owner has had Mrs. Fran Fair estimate the landscaping L �S for this project. Mrs. Fair has quoted the owner $896.00 for land- scaping and says that the amount would be all she would recommend to r ' keep from "over doing it" on this specific project. Also taken into consideration in addition to the $896.00 proposal is existing trees I on the project. JP Mrs. Fair F;uggoete this proposal of $896.00 from the owner, as opposed �\ to our $1,500 minimum landscape requirement, is adequate.

Consideration of a Variance Request - Mike Slagter. An application has been received from Mike Slagter to build an attached garage on his home at 115 Marvin Elwood Road (Lot 8, Block 1, Anders - Wilhelm Estates) Currently zoned R-1. Mr. Slagter would like to extend his garage 26' to the south of his home, which would bring him within 6'0" of his neighbors side property line. 10'0" is required by ordinances for that setback. The abutting neighbor has expressed no objection, stating he would be in favor of this request. CONSIDERATION: Recommend approval or denial of this request REFERENCES: Enclosed plat plan and map depicting location. APPLICANT: Mike Slagter. 4. Consideration of a Variance Request - Vance Florell. Vance's Service Center in the I-94 Tri -Plaza at the Intersection of I-94 and Highway 25, has made application to extend his pylon sign 10'0" higher than it is presently. Under the present ordinance, this pylon sign may be 32'0" high plus the difference between the business property elevation and the height of the road abutting it, if the road is higher. In this case, the inter- section of the I-94 east approach and Minnesota 25 is approximately 10' higher than the property where the Standard Station is located, thus the 10' difference has been added to make the present pylon sign 42' tall. Mr. Florell is asking that he be allowed to raise his sign to 52'0" in height. CONSIDERATION: Recommend approval or denial of this request. REFERENCES: Enclosed map depicting location. APPLICANT: Mr. Vance Plorell, Vance's Service Center, Inc. S. Consideration of a Variance Request - Mol Wolters. The owner of the Dairy Queen, Mr. Mol Woltors, owns both Lots 7 c 8 in Block 5 (location of the Dairy Queen), as well as Lots 9 6 10 in Block 5. Sometime within the next year, he plane to build a business on Loto 9 c 10 in Block 5, at which time he will swot Monticello's ordinances regarding hardourfaced parking lots. - 2 - Planning Commission Agenda - 6/19/79 However, until the time he builds his new building, the owner would like a variance to allow parking on Lots 9 s 10 without having a hard - surfaced parking lot. His reason being that in a short time, he would have to tear the lot up again to do the building, and would waste expensive hardsurfacing product. If granted, this lot would allow overflow parking for the Dairy queen customers. CONSIDERATION: Recommend approval or denial of this request. You may want to consider this request on a one-year basis only, if you decide to recommend approval, requiring renewed approval on an annual basis if the new building is not built within one year. REFERENCES: Enclosed map showing lots and letter of objection from abutting property owner. APPLICANT: Mel Wolters. 6. Continuation of Public Hearing - James Maus "The Meadows". Mr. Jim Maus has re -submitted his preliminary plat plan for his "The Meadows" subdivision, which is proposed for development in stages over the next several years. Phase I of this development would be to develop on Lots 1, 2, 3, B. 9 i 10, of Block 1, and tate 7 through 15 of Block 3. , However, as the preliminary plat was submitted, it didn't allow for runoff drainage to a natural waterway or manmado drainage system other than to drain water in the ditch on the north aide of Prairie Road and then through the culvert under Prairie Road into the ponding area in Balboul Estates. utilizing this proposal could create flooding in the Balboul Estates area along the ponding area. It is the City Engineer's recommendation, as part of the Phase I develop- mont, that Clover Circle be developed as a rural type street and the ditches be continued from around Clover Circle in ditch formed between Lots 5 e 6, Block 1, and continued to the culvert between Lots 15 s 16, Block 1, where water can drain under the railroad tracks and drain away. An of the time this agenda was prepared, no comments have been received from Mr. Mauo or his representatives ao to Mr. Badalich'o comments. CONSIDERATIONi Recommend approval or denial of this preliminary plat. R.EFERENCESt hotter from John Badalich, City Engineer, and a copy of the area of the plat in question. APPLICANTa Mr. James Maun. =I= Planning Commission Agenda - 6/19/79 7. Discussion on Outdoor Advertising Signs - by Blocher Advertising Co. Mr. Ray Galarneault, of Blocher Advertising Co., will be at Tuesday night's meeting to discuss with the Planning Commission the possi- bility of erecting an outdoor advertising sign on Maurice Hoglund's property along the north side of Interstate 94. Mr. Galarneault is aware of our ordinances which prohibit any more billboard signs, but has requested the opportunity to discuss with the Planning Commission the possibility of a variance to allow this particular sign, or a change in the ordinance to allow billboard signs. CONSIDERATION: Possible recommendation to change ordinances or variance on this sign. REFERENCES: Letter from Blocher Advertising Co. APPLICANT: Blocher Advertising Co. - Ray Galarneault B. Consideration of Proposed Ordinance Amendment to Allow a Combination of Residential and Commercial Uses in B-3 and B-4 Districts. At the May 15, 1979 Planning Commission meeting, John Uhan of Howard Dahlgren s Associates was asked to review and draft a proposed ordin- ance amendment allowing for buildings in B-3 or 9-4 zones to contain residential uses along with commercial uses. As you will recall, a few requests for variances to allow residential apartments mixed with commercial businesses have been approved in the past, and this is the reason for reviewing a possible ordinance amendment. Enclosed, you will find Mr. Uban's recommendations and conditions that should be provided for if allowed as a conditional use in B-3 and/or B-4 zones. CONSIDERATION: Review of proposed ordinance amendment and consideration of holding a public hearing at a future planning commia- Bien meeting. REFERENCES: Proposed ordinance amendment from John Ubon. - 4 - • MINUTES i REGULAR MEETING - MON1'ICEIA PLANNING COMMISSION Tuesday, May 15, 1979 - 7:30 P.M. Members Presenti James Ridgeway, Pred Topel, Dick Martie. Members Absent, Dave Bauer, Fd Schaffer. 1. Review of Minutes. Motion was made by Dick Martie, seconded by Fred Topel and unanimously carried to approve the Minutes of the May 1, 1979 Special Meeting, as presented. 2. Continuation of Public Hearing an James Naus's "The Meadows" Subdivision Plat. At the Commission's April 3, 1979 meeting, the Subdivision plat proposed by James Maus was tabled until such time as the engineer could adequately review the proposed development. Since that time, the Plat has been changed by Mr. Maus in the following manners, A. The initial plat indicated a ponding area to satisfy the storm sower and , water runoff requirements, and the revised preliminary plat indicates that a permanent storm sewer underground would be utilized to resolve this problem. B. The Plat was proposed to be developed in two stages, one phase would be the development of all Iota along Prairie Road, except the moot westerly lot bordering Prairie Road, and in Phase two, the balance of the subdivi- sion would be developed. C. As a result of the change in the ponding requirements from the initial plat, the now proposed subdivision would have 70 lots instead of the 66. The elimination of the ponding area would result in a cash dedication instead of actual land for parka. Mr. Jim Maus presented to tho Commission the now subdivision plat, but since the City's engineering staff had not had a chance to review the subdivision and give eoammnto to the City an the proposed development, a motion was made by Prod Topol, seconded by Dick Martin and unanimously carried to again table any consideration of this subdivision plat until the engineer can prepare a written report in regards to the plat and the storm sower proposed. 2-A. Public Hearing on Rosoninq Blocks 11 and 21. Uooer Monticello, from R-3 to R-2, and Consideration of Recomendation of Aooroval of these Bloekn alonq with Block 10 of Upper Monticello from R -a to R-2. At a previous Planning Commission meeting, a hearing wan hold on rezoning Block 10 from R-3 to R-2. The original Commiooion'a recommendation was then forwarded to the City Co=il which decided to lift a moratorium it had previously imposed on lots B. 9 i 10 of Block 10, for a Multiple Family Dwelling unit. This moratorium was lifted to allow the dovoloper, - 1 - Minutes - Planning Commission - 5/15/79 Ron White, to continue with his plans for an apartment in that area. However, the Council decided not to take any specific action on the rezoning request and requested that the Planning Commission hold a hearing to also consider the possibility of rezoning the surrounding blocks of Block 10 to R-2 from R-3. The reason for the action by the Council to hold another public hearing on the additional blocks was that they felt the areas considered for rezoning were primarily single family residential consisting of new and older homes and also that one of the blocks was devoted for parking for St. Henry's Catholic Church. Also, the Council felt that rezoning these areas from R-3 to R-2 would still leave a large area within the district for multiple family R-3 zoning, and there seemed to be neighborhood concern in regards to future traffic flow and congestion if all of the area were developed into R-3. Mr. John Uban, of Howard Dahlgren Associates, the City's consulting planner, reviewed with the Commission his recommendations on rezoning this area. Mr. Uban felt that the area has been improving in the past years with sinqle family homes, and the existing homes have been upgraded, which he felt was, due primarily to the new streets in the area. He also stated in the area of concern most of the lots are wined by separate individuals, except for Block 21 which is mostly awned by the St. Henry's Catholic Church. Since these lots are under individual ownership, Mr. Uban felt that larger apart- ment buildings would be hard to locate in this area due to the need to purchase the property from a number of people. He felt that the area in question would primarily remain in a residential single family status with the existing empty unbuilt Iota being good sites for future duplexes or fourplexco. Mr. Uban suggested that if the Commission was to consider rezoning the three blocks in question, they may also want to consider extending the rozoninq to R-2 to also include those areas south of Sixth Street which abut up to the existing apartment houses located in the area. In other words, there aro now existing single family residential homes south of Sixth Street in Block P and 0 which are now all single family reoidences. Mr. Uban felt that thio may be a more natural area to consider to R-2 zoning nince the development in already dictated single family reoidences in the area, and future development of multiple family houoing would be very unlikely. In ragardo to the rezoning questions, the following teotimony was preoentods Mr. Ran Potern - again indicated that he would like to ace the area rezoned to R-2 ainco the area io primarily oinglo family reoidontial. Mr. Patera oloo pr000ntod a petition from the area reoidencoo otating their oppooition to the pr000nt R-3 zoning. Mr. Don Lugar - representing the St. Honry'o Catholic Church, indicated that their long range plana may include developing a now Church on portiono of Block 21, but in the meantime, they would be in favor of leaving the zoning as R-3. Mr. Ken Holkor - representing Mr. Darwin Straw, property owner in Block in, indicated Mr. Straw's opposition to R-2 toning. Mr. Holker indicated that Mr. Straw has proaently an application for a multiple family building ia'ndiny with the City of Monticello, and indicated that Mr. Straw bought No pr.gvrty Minutes - Planning Commission - 5/15/79 back in 1974 knowing full well that it was R-3 zoning. Mr. Holker felt it would be an injustice to Mr. Straw to now rezone this to a lower classification due to Mr. Straw's potential multiple family building pending. Mr. John Meier - indicated to the Commission that he has purchased property within 350' of Block 10 and has bought this for an investment purpose knowing full well it was R-3 zoning. He also indicated that he would like to see it remain classified as R-3 Multiple Family zoning. After reviewing the testimony presented at the public hearing, a motion was made by Fred Topel, seconded by Dick Martie and unanimously carried to recommend that the rezoning from R-3 to R-2 for the three blocks be denied. 3. Public Hearin - Ordinance Amendment to Roguire all Driveways and Parking Areas to be Hardsurfaced for a Single Family and Two Family (gelling. Current Monticello Ordinances require all parking areas including driveways to be hardsurfaeed with concrete or bituminous except for single family and two family dwellings. At recent planning commission meetings, citizens have commented that they would be in favor of this ordinance being amended to also include single family and two family dwellings. The primary reason for instituting a policy of hardsurfaced driveways for single family and two family dwollinge was that it would improve the appearance of the pro- perty in question along with the values of property in the neighborhood. Hearing no other cam%ments, motion was made by Dick Martie, seconded by Fred Topol and unanimously carried to recommond that the City Council amend the ordinance to include hardnurfaced driveways for single and two family dwellings. It was noted that if this ordinance amendment was adopted it would apply only to now construction rather than existing homes. 4. Consideration of Proposed Ordinance Amendments.- Public Hearing. The following ordinance amondmento were proposed to help provide tnttcr documentation of proposed oubdivicions, and to better insure their compliance with County and City rogulationas Section 11-4-1-(C)-(7) 7. A otatemont of the approximate square footage and dimensions of the individual lots. Section 11-4-2-(A)-(11) 11. An accompanying letter from the County Surveyor's Office stating that the plat or land survey has boon examined and approved. Section 11-4-2-(C)-(1) 1. A letter from the County Rocorder'D office stating the final plat has been recorded as approved by the City Council shall be received by the Building Official's office before any biilding permits may be issued. Ordinance Amendment Section 11-4-1(C)-(7) would, if adopted, be the yuido used in determining the cost of various improvemento based on cquare footage, otc., and aloo would be useful in insuring minimum lot sizeo and dimensionn are adhered to. - 3 - Minutes - Planning Commission - 5/15/79 Section 11-4-2-(A)-(11), if adopted, would insure that the County Surveyor has had an opportunity to review the proposed plat and insure its compliance with Minnesota Statutes. Section 11-4-2-(C)-(1), if adopted, would insure that the proposed subdivi- sion has been recorded according to its approved final form before any build- ing permits could be issued, thus insuring that the buildings weren't built on unrecorded lots. This provision would also insure that proper records are recorded for future assessment purposes. Hearing no other comments, motion was made by Fred Topel, seconded by Dick Martin and unanimously carried to recommend adoption of the above three ordinance amendments. 5. Consideration of a Variance Request on Hardsurfaced Parking Area by the Trinity Lutheran Church. Inst Fall, the Trinity Lutheran Church requested variances that would allow them to have only approximately half of the necessary parking lot hard - surfaced, with the balance to be in grass or similar to the country church concept. Since that time, they were granted their request, and they have gone through the bid lotting process and the bids have come in at approximately $30,000 more than their lender will allow them to spend. A representative of the Church requested that thoy not be required to put in any of the hard - surfaced parking at this time, but be allowed up to three years before any hardsurfaced parking would have to be installed. Motion was made by Dick Martie, seconded by Fred Topel and unanimously carried to grant the Trinity Lutheran Church an additional three years variance from any hardsurfaced parking requirements previously granted. 6. Consideration of Ordinance Amendment to allow a Mixturo of Residential and Commercial Uses in a B-3 or B-4 Ione. Previously, the Monticello Pot Hospital had requested a variance to have an apartment above the hospital itself. This variance was granted by the Planning Commaiooion and City Council, and since that time, Mr. Fred Topel has also indicated a dosiro to do something of thin nature to bio Mini -Mall building in downtown Monticello. Because of the two recent requests, the Planning Commission felt there may be some morit in considering an ordinance amend- ment to allow a businoos to have an apartment complex within the name structure since the current ordinances do not allow for such a mixture of uses. Since that time, the City's staff has conoultod with John Uban of Howard Dahlgron and Anaociatoo, the City's planner, in rogarda to the above ordin- ance amendments. 14r. Uban has indicated that ouch a use could be considered as a conditional use within a 9-1, 3-2 or R -D Ione, but also Indicated that a review process should be looked at for each individual conditional une for good design and neighborhood compatibility. In addition, Mr. IRun had some concern for allowing a combination of commercial/reoidential eitablinh- ments in the S-4, downtown, cones. He felt that special consideration .should be given before allowing ouch uses based on the following, - 4 - Minutes - Planning Commission - 5/15/79 A. Such uses should be close to park areas in order to allow inhabitants of the apartments adequate facilities for recreation. B. Adequate provisions should be provided to meet the off-street parking requirements. He felt that a specific portion of the parkinq areas should be set aside for the residential occupants to insure that residents of the apartment had adequate parking. C. Special precautions should be taken to make sure that the residential apartments would be compatible with the surrounding property. As an example, he would not recommend a residential building located on top of or near a filling station, as an example. After reviewing Mr. Uban's comments on allowing a residential/commercial mixture in a B-4 or other commercial zones, motion was made by Dick Martie, seconded by Fred Topel and unanimously carried to authorize the consulting planner, John Uban, to draft a proposed ordinance amendment to allow a mixture of residential/commercial uses within the same structure within a B-1 and/or B-4 zone. This ordinance amendment would then be reviewed by the City's staff and a public hearing could then be held in the near future. 7. Consideration of a Variance to Allow an Apartment/Commercial Use within a B-4 Zone - Fred Topel. Mr. Fred Topel, owner of the Mini -Mall complex in downtown rdonticello, requested a variance to add a 2,600 square foot apartment above his building which is currently zoned B-4. Mr. Topol asked that his request be considered as a variance rather than wait for the Planning Commission and Council to review and possibly amend the ordinances allowing for such a use as a conditional use as mentioned in Agenda Item 6, above. The reason for Mr. Topel's request is that he would like to start construction as soon as possible for his apartment. In reviewing come of the concerns of the Planner if a commorcial/residential mixture was allowed in a commorcial district, the Planning Commiaaion looked at the various suggestions of the Planner in regards to the following, A. Parking - the Planning Commicaion felt that Mr. Topol would have room in the rear of his building to not aside a parking spot reserved for the apartment complex owned by him. S. Garbage/Refuno - Mr. Topol indicated that all refuse would be enclosed inside the building and not bo act out in the alloy. C. ACc000 to the Residence - Mr. Topol indicated that his apartment complex would have a separate accoso and would be compatiblo with the other ontrancon to the Mini -Mall. D. Traffic - Mr. Topol indicated that with the alloy and the 1•arkino opaco provided in the rear of the building, there chould be no pr.i- blem with pedestrian traffic or other vehicular traffic. - 5 - Minutes - Planning Commission - 5/15/79 After reviewing the conditions recommended by the Planner if an ordinance amendment is added in the future to allow this type of use, a motion was made by Dick Martie, seconded by Jim Ridgeway and unanimously carried to recornmend approval of a variance for Mr. Topel's apartment to be in a B-4 zone . 8. Consideration of a Subdivision of Lots - Ralph rAffineyer. Mr. Ralph Kiffineyer requested that he be able to subdivide the west half of Lot 3 and Lots 4 6 5, in Block 38, into two 13,613 square foot lots. The current R-2 zoning would require lots at a minimum size of 10,000 square feet, and as a result, if this variance was approved, both lots would exceed the minimum requirements by 3,613 square feet each. Motion was made by Fred Topel, seconded by Dick Martie and unanimously carried to approve the proposod subdivision of lots 4 6 5 and the WIS of 3, in Block 38, contingent upon providing a certificate of survey and proof of recording the same. 9. Consideration of Setback Variance Request - James Fuller. Mr. James Fuller requested a variance of 3'9" to build a 20' addition on the cast side of his home at 800 N. Broadway. Mia home is currently located 36'3" away from the oast property line and a corner lot such as his requires a minimum of 20' setback, thus requiring the variance of 319" if the addition in built. Tho Planning Camanisaion felt that a 1613" setback from the eact property line would be sufficient, and the motion wao nad© by Fred Topel, seconded by Dick Martio and unanimously carried to approvo the variance request of 3'9" to Mr. Jamoo Fuller. Motion was made by Dick Martio, seconded by Fred 'fepol and unanimously carried to adjourn.

First of all, a typographical error should be corrected on the revised preliminary plat. "Ander" should have an "s" at the end and should read "Anders". As you may recall during the April 30th meeting, it was gen- erally agreed that because of the indecision on installing storm sewer, as recommended in the Comprehensive Plan, we would pursue this plat on a stage basis, thereby not compelling the developer to a large amount of money for any storm sewer in that the development would be carried out over a several year period.

The revised prelimin- ary plat as submitted does not make any provision for carrying off the drainage from the lots, Phase No. 1, fronting on Prairie Road other than draining to the north ditch of Prairie Road. As you know, we have provided for temporary ponding on the south side of Prairie Road in the dedicated park land of Balboul Estates with an overflow culvert under Prairie Road to the north and into the Maus plat before he contemplated development. !low - ever, with the lowland on the north side of Prairie Road now sched- uled for development, i.e. Lots 8, 9, 10, Block 1, this drainage pattern will be obstructed and the drainage from Maus' plat Mr. Gary Wieber June 11, 1979 Page Two during heavy rainstorms would drain to this culvert and back into Balboul Estates' park which could create nuisance floodin,. would, therefore, recommend that the Clover Circle cul-de-sac be graded and a ditch continued north such that the runoff is directed toward the railroad tracks and to the culvert between Lots 15 and 16, Block. 1, under the railroad tracks. Also coupled with this, that portion of Clover Circle from Prairie Road to the rear of the lots in Phase I should remain a rural section with ditches on both sides to conform with the Prairie Road ditches up until the time Prairie Road is developed as an urban street and storm sewer is provided as recommended in the Comprehensive Plan. The Phase I preliminary plat seems to be in order with the pro- vision that the long-term drainage solution must be addressed at the time further platting is contemplated for this area.
