AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
2. Conditional Use Permit for a 24 -Unit Apartment Building - Construction 5
Construction 5, Inc. has applied for a Conditional Use Permit to con-
struct a 24 -unit apartment building on a portion of Block 43, Lower
Monticello_ Constructicn 5 recently purchased Blocks 43, 42, 41, 46,
47, 46, 49 53, 52, 51 s 50, etc. from Earl Malone. This property is
located south of the railroad tracks near the Nursing Home. Current
zoning of Block 43 is R-3.
During the first phase of the development, Con ,truction 5 is planning
to build a 24 -unit apartment building consisting of seven 1 -bedroom
units, eleven 2 -bedroom units and six 3 -bedroom units. The plat plan
submitted indicates three additional buildings proposed in the future
consisting of 52 units. (See plat plan enclosed).
In addition to the Conditional Use Permit, Construction 5 is requesting
that the one -block portion of Hennepin Street between lauring Lane and
the railroad tracks be vacated. This vacated street is not actually
necessary for the development of the first apartment building, but would
be used when buildings (B) and (C) are constructed. There is a Public
Hearing scineduled at the Council level on this street vacation at the
Council's September 24, 1979 meeting. In exchange for vacating this part
of Hennepin Street, Construction 5 has indicated their willingness to
give the City enough land to extend Lauring lane easterly to coincide
with the collector road planned for this area.
One alternative for extending Lauring lane would he to angle the road
southerly towards the Freeway from Washington Street and the developers
have been agreeable to working out a suitable alignment in exchange for
vacating Hennepin Street.
In addition to the exchange of land, Construct ion 5 would also be willing
to give the City a small triangle portion of land they own across the
Freeway next to the City-ownod Reservoir property. This small tract
in actually landlocked and worthless to Conatruction 5, but does abutt
the City Resorvoir property.
A copy of tho Plat Plan has been submitted to the City Engineer for review
In regards to a suwtablo road alignment fui in w my Inns. Although the
Engineer is concerned about the curvoc that would result by ohifting
the road south to the Freeway, they felt some type of alignment could
be worked out. In regards to vacating of Ilannopin Street, the
Engineer did not think the City would need utility rightn an none are
planned for this portion of Hennepin Street.

PLANNING COMM. AGENDA - 9/18/79
As far as the 24 -unit apartment building is concerned, the development
appears to meet all City Ordinances in regards to parking requirements,
square footage, etc.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of approving or denying conditional
use permit request for a 24 -unit apartment building
and the request for vacating a portion of Hennepin
Street in exchange for land to extend Inuring Lane
Q and the triangle portion of land next to the City
Reservoir property. (Note: although the public hear-
t/ V ing for vacating Hennepin Street will be held at the
City Council, the Planning Commission recommendations
] Q should be referred to the Council in regards to the
vacation and exchange of land for Lauring Lane (collec-
tor road). The exact location and angles of the road
could be worked out later by the Council

3. Public Hearinq on Ordinance Amendment to Adopt Recently Revised
Federal Regulations regarding the National Flood Insurance Program.
Enclosed, please find the following:
A. Letter fron HUD dated May 1, 1979 informing the City of Monticello of
the necessity to establish revised flood plain regulations.
B. Copy of proposed Flood Plain Management Ordinance.
C. Letter of August 14, 1979 from the DNR certifying that the proposed
ordinance is in compliance with the State Flood Plain Management
Standards.
As the letter of May 1, 1979 from HUD indicates, it is necessary for the
City of Honticello, in order to continue its eligibility in the National
Flood Insurance Program, to adopt Flood Plain Regulations which have to
be revised to contain criteria set out in a separate attachment, which is
also enclosed, that was sent with the May 1, 1979 letter. By continuing
its eligibility in the National Flood Plain Insurance program, residents
of Monticello have the opportunity to obtain flood insurance for their
homes and businesses. For a more complete explanation of the National
Flood Insurance program, I am sending out copies of a brochure - which
is entitled "Questions and Answers - National Flood Insurance Program".
It should bo noted that our current ordinance on Flood Plain Districts
is being proposed to be completely deleted since the new regulat ion
covers the same area along with the revisions promulgated by the Rational
Flood Insurance Program. As with all zoning ordinance amendments, a
public hearing is necessary before the Planning Commission.
POSSIBLE ACTION: After termination of the hearing, consideration of
recommendation to the Council of the adoption of the
proposed Flood Plain Management ordinance, along with
the delotion of the City'a present ordinance.
REFERENCES: May 1, 1979 Letter from IND along with an attachment explain-
ing the criteria necoaaory to Include in the flood insurance
programs proposed ordinance amendment relative to tho flood
plain management programs and Lettor of August 14, 1919 from
the DNR and a copy of the brochure issued by IND entitled
"Queations and Answers - National Flood Insurance Program'.
(It should also be pointed out that the City of Monticello
does have copien of the flood plain map and flood insurance
study available for review at City Ball).
