Motion passed unanimously. 5. Steve Grittman outlined the principles behin establishment of the CCD district as it relates to the Comprehensive plan. It is a to I to implement the downtown redevelopment plan. Grittman reviewed the district bound ies in relationship to the recently adopted Comprehensive Plan. C:\SANDY\WORIJ\MINUfES\04~07 -98.WPD Page 1 . . . PLA NINO COMMISSION MINUTES- 04/07/98 Dick Frie opened the pubic hearing. Kimberly Rice and Dick Rice, residents on ront Street, were concerned that the rezoning would expose residents to commercial deve opment which they opposed. Jeff O'Neill asked the Planner to explain ho commercial uses are regulated. Grittman noted that commercial uses are allowed by onditional use permit. Commercial uses and associated site plans must be designed to be compatible with residential. Steve Grittman also noted that single family uses are allow d in the district. Commissioner Dragsten asked, "Can home wners make improvements or additions?" Grittman indicated residential uses are allo ed by conditional use permit which does provide the opportunity for residents to e improvements. There was discussion about a time frame fo redevelopment. O'Neill noted that redevelopment is a long term process that y not be completed for many years. Mrs. Rice wanted to know the advantage fo the people of Monticello? Dick Fried stated that a vibrant downtown is important to ma' taining a healthy community. Providing a downtown that is not a Hennepin Avenue, b t is a desirable place to corne and shop, is very important to the community. Broadwa , at one time, was a downtown, now it is a dead zone. The MCP has been working on ays to revitalize and redevelop the community. There being no further discussion, the publi hearing was closed. AFTER DISCUSSION, A MOTION WAS ADE BY DICK MARTIE TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ZO ING MAP AS PROPOSED. MOTION SECONDED BY ROD DRAGSTEN. (Later in the meeting, the map was modified via removal of hotel site from CCD District) Motion based on finding that the rezoning i consistent with the Comprehensive plan. Motion passed unanimously. 6. Steve Grittman reported on the request as ti llows: The Church of St. Henry has acquired prope ty within the City of Monticello currently C:\'5ANDY\WORIJ'MINUTEOO4-07 -98.WPD Page 2 . . . PLA NING COMMISSION MINUTES- 04/07/98 zoned Public/Semi-Public(P/SP). The City f Monticello Zoning Ordinance requires church facility uses by conditional use per t in an P/SP district. In his review he noted that the site plan is consistent with the ord' ance in terms of meeting the defmition of a church, setbacks. The site meets standards or parking minimums however parking and drive area dimensions need to be clarified. The site plan indicates that the aforementio ed requirements have been met. However, dimensioning of these requirements is neede for future reference. Note also that the plan produced by Taylor Land Surveyors conta' s a scale that does not correspond with the featured plan. Also note that the scale, 1" = 80', submitted by the architects, is not a standard scale. A site plan should be submi ted which corresponds to a standard engineering scale for future evaluation. Church use parking requires that there be at least one parking space for each four seats based on the design capacity of the main ass mbly hall (Section 3/33, subd. (8). While a parking configuration is shown on the plan, taff did not receive a plan exhibiting the number of seats that would be designed into the proposed church. Based on the plan submitted, a total of approximately 420 par . g spaces have been provided. This would accommodate an assembly size seating appr ximately 1,680 persons. The building inspector should verify this number based u on building capacity. Staff received no plans illustrating the propo'ed landscaping for the site as outlined in the Zoning Ordinance section 3/8, subd. (2). Th's plan will be primarily for ornamental and erosion control purposes. However, it shou d be submitted for City review to verify appropriate ground cover and planting of th areas disturbed during construction of the facility. Along with this development, the City reque ts the dedication of a R.O.W. for the future extension and realignment of 7th Street and he future linking of Fallon A venue to 7th Street by bridging Interstate #94. A tempor y road connecting the existing 7th street to the proposed church is proposed as an acces substitute until the construction of the future 7th Street and Fallon Avenue. The proposed layout of the Church and the lignment of future streets require a plat of the property. Properties which are not immedia ly used by the Church may be subdivided into separate lots and outlots for future use. While the current alignment of streets adjace t to the site does not substantially change existing adjacent land uses, the future align nt of these Streets will segregate portions of the Church property from the larger whole. he future alignment of 7th Street requires the elimination of park property which abuts the westernmost boundary of the Church property. C:\'lANDY\WORUWfINlITES'{)4-07 -98.WPD Page 3 . PL NING COMMISSION MINUTES- 04/07/98 With the proposed future alignments of 7th Street and Fallon Avenue, it may be advantageous to consider using the Church roperty (southwest corner) segregated from the larger parcel by the proposed alignment to replace the park property that would be consumed by the realignment of 7th Street. With the realignment of 7th Street and the xtension of Fallon Avenue complete, the temporary Church access road could be vac ted, leaving the southwest corner of the Church property open for possible park use However, the existing park would not necessarily be abandoned until 7th Street is onstructed. Therefore, there should be only a short period during which park facilities are not available in the area. It should be noted that related facilities are utlined on the site plan. The future building is proposed to be an assisted living senior res} entia! project. The designers of the Church have placed it on the plan for the purposes f future planning. However, they have indicated that this facility will be a future de elopment on the property by others, and are not requesting approval of that project at t s time. . Grittman noted staff reconunendation to ap rove the request for CUP if the conditions meet the intent of the City of Monticello C mprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. This reconunendation is based upon staffs view hat the required revisions to the plans are primarily minor in nature, and will not alter he basic layout of the project. Rod Dragsten asked if the church is aware . f the conditions noted in the Planner's report? Dick Frie outlined the conditions and also a ked if the architect is aware of the requirements listed in the CUP. John Olsen indicated an awareness of the conditions. He went on to state that a letter of intent is in p ce to build 120 units of senior housing on the site; 60 units independent and 60 units a sisted living. They anticipate that they will begin construction in the fourth quarter oft is year. A MOTION WAS MADE BY DICK FRIE AND SECONDED BY DICK MARTIE TO APPROVE THE CUP BASED ON THE NDING THAT THE PROPOSED LAND USE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE C TY OF MONTICELLO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN & ZONING ORDINANCE WITH ONDITIONS SET FORTH IN EXHIBIT A. M Motion passed unanimously. 7. P Steve Grittman provided a review of the pr liminary plat as follows: . C;\SANDY\WORIM1INUTES'04-07 -98.WPD Page . . . PL .NNING COMMISSION MINUTES- 04/07/98 The Shermer site is approximately 33.6 acr s of rolling terrain, primarily comprised of fallow agricultural fields and remnant woo s on the northeastern boundary. According to the survey, there are two wetlands on the s te. The site is triangular in shape, bordered on the NE by interstate #94 and the Rail Road on the south by a power line easement and on the west by Meadow Oaks 2nd Addition. Currently the site is outside of City limits. owever, in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan, the site will be held t Single Family Residential Standards (R-l) for the purpose of preliminary plan review. An exation may be proposed pursuant to the submittal of the final plat. The power line easement which straddles t e southern boundary of the site should be more clearly defined on the site plan. Flood elev tions of the wetland on the site must be included on the grading and drainage plan ( hapter 4, p. 2, subd. (B) #6 in the City Subdivision Ordinance). The project consists of 66 single family lots The minimum lot size requirement of 12,000 square feet (Section 3/22, Subd. A of the Cty Subdivision Ordinance) has been met in the proposed development plan. Lots that are I cated on a curve must have the width of the lot at the building setback line clearly denot d (Chapter 4, p.2, subd, @ #5) in the Subdivision Ordinance). Blocks one (1) and three(3) slightly exceed he 1320 foot maximum block length allowed for an R-l district (Chapter 5, p.1, subd, (A B) in the City Subdivision Ordinance). However, it may not be necessary to correc this as the layout of the subdivision logically delineates the location of the Blocks. The' pact of a Blocks slightly over 1320 feet in this design are negligible. The average lot size of 17,778 square feet i consistent with the abutting property to the west. The proposed development sites four een (14) lots against its western boundary, whereas the abutting property currently site (16) lots against the same boundary. Fourteen (14) lots are proposed to abut the southern property against the existing four (4) properties. These densities correspond wit proposed land uses outlined in the comprehensive plan. Proposals to develop this site have been ma e to the City previously. Since the initial proposal, several additional suggestions/ch ges have been made. The suggestion which proposed the connec 'on of the two easternmost culdesacs with a road running NW to SE was deemed an inti rior alternative to the proposed culdesac version. The current proposal to culdesac t e central east-west road avoids aligning the road over compromising grades and conser es a greater amount of existing vegetation. C:\SANDY\WORIJ\MINUTES'04-07 -98. WPD Page 5 . . . PLA NINO COMMISSION MINUTES- 04/07/98 The request to include street sidewalks in t e subdivision has been waived by the City in favor of a pathway system on the southern oundary of the property in the power line easement and along the western boundary f the property. Staff feels that these independent pathways will serve pedestrian traffic as well as roadside sidewalks in the case of this proposed development. The proposed plat would cut through an e sting park area from Meadow Oak Drive. The developer has proposed replacing this parkea with a new park adjacent to Lot 1, Block 2. That park area has adequate space to ac ommodate some smaller hard-court recreation, including tennis and basketball. he plan would rely on Meadow Oak Park to the west as the primary open space area. A a replacement park area, the new proposed park would not offset the development's p k dedication requirements. Proximity to Meadow Oak Park should be adequate to' pose a park dedication fee in lieu of land on this plat. The pathways constructed on the south and west sides of the property: .should be contained within a public R.O.W at least 20 feet wide. -are constructed such that they con ct to existing pedestrian corridors and open spaces or logically align with future djacent pedestrian corridors or open spaces. (See Exhibit illustrating the Plat) -are accessed periodically by easements between lots so that the access points to the trails are not limited to the extre ends of the property. The pathway access in the proposed development which urrently sits between lots six (6) and seven (7) of block one (1) is one such acce s point. However, the access may accommodate pedestrian movement ore effectively if it were aligned with the existing easement between lots one (1) and eleven (11) in block two (2) of Meadow Oak 2nd Addition. In add tion, a pathway connection from the end of the cul-de-sac between lots 16 and 1 of block two should be added to the south street. Proposed locations of storm water detentio retention basins will sacrifice an excessive amount of vegetation. Alternate sites and c eative design solutions for storm water detention/retention should be conceived to urtail the excess loss of existing vegetation. A survey of all significant trees should be pe formed to be added with the project proposal. Staff recommends that every exist g tree six (6) inches caliper size or greater that is removed from the site be replaced so ewhere on the site with a native and indigenous tree no less than 2.5" caliper for eciduous trees and no less than 6' for coniferous trees. This replanting should be companied by a detailed landscape plan following the requirement outlined in sectio 3 of the City of Monticello Zoning C;\SANDY\WORI1'MINUTES'()4-07 -98. WPD 6 . PL NNING COMMISSION MINUTES- 04/07/98 Ordinance. The I to I tree planting requir ment is in addition to the requirement set for individual property owners within the subd vision. The standard landscaping requirements can be found in section 3 of the City of Mo ticello Zoning Ordinance. Dick Frie opened the public hearing. John ohnson engineer representing Harold Schermer stated that he had few questions, no problems with the park trail and corridor. They will inventory the trees. Ponding are s are located where there are poor trees anyway. Scott Douglas noted that the fewer culdesa s you have, the better off you are. The engineer noted that the culdesacs were nee ssary due to he steep grade between blocks making it difficult to connect streets. La V onne Olson asked if all of the traffic wi be coming through. Brian Lambert asked about the connection t the south. There was discussion about the land being in the orderly annexation area w ich will limit its long term potential for development. O'Neill noted that the land t the south is in the Orderly Annexation Area. . A resident asked what kind of homes will b built. Harold Schermer noted that the homes will be comparable to those in the neighbor ood. These homes will not be starter homes. The lots have too much natural amenity to a ow for only starter homes. The park area was discussed. O'Neill noted that the plan has been reviewed by the Parks Commission. The intent is to increase the p k area to allow for basketball, volley ball, and other improvements. The developer w' provide the land and grade the park area. A resident asked about where the water in t e swamp behind his house will go. Johnson noted that we are not intending to drain the wamp or increase water running into the swamp. B. Harper, who lives in the house that faces he property, indicated that he was not happy about it the proposed project. Rod Dragsten asked how we were going to eep track of trees. John Johnson indicated the grading affected by the road and the tree in the building pads are not hard to keep track of. Also noted was that the areas that e graded will not be taking out trees of significance. He had no problem conforming to the tree preservation requirement. Public hearing was closed. AFfER DISCUSSION, A MOTION WAS ADE BY ROD DRAGSTEN AND SECONDED BY DICK MARTIE TO APP OVE PRELIMINARY PLAT BASED ON THE FINDING THAT THE PROPOSED L ND USE, WITH CONDITIONS, IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CITY COMPR HENSIVE LAND USE PLAN AND THE . 7 . . . CITY ZONING ORDINANCE. THE CO DITIONS TO THIS PRELIMINARY PLAT ARE ILLUSTRATED IN EXHIBIT A AN APPROVED BASED ON THE RECOMMENDATION BY THE PLANN R AND CONTINGENT ON THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: -The power line easement on the so them boundary of the proposed development must be more clearly annotated on t e site plan. -Flood elevation(s) must be added t the wetland(s) on the site. -Lot sizes below the minimum of 12 000 square feet must be brought up to standard. -Lots that are located on a curve m st have the width of the lot at the building setback line clearly denoted. .A logical system of pedestrian corr" ors be designed and clearly outlined on the site plan. Easements should be alig d to increase the efficiency of this system whenever possible. · Storm water retention/detention ba ins must be located such that excess losses of existing woody vegetation are .. . ed. -A detailed vegetation plan illustraf g the location and species of trees to be removed and the location and specie of the replacement trees must be conceived. 8. P A .. n Pr .. PI' Residential Development. Inc. City Planner Steve Grittman reviewed the p Residential Development, Inc, has requested preliminary plat approval of a 27 lot single family residential development titled River ill 4th Addition. The proposed subdivision overlays a 14.51 acre parcel south of Count Road 39 and north ofInterstate 94 currently platted as Outlot B of River Mill3rd Additi n. The subject parcel is zoned R-l, Single Family Residential. Streets Layout. The proposed street layout is gener lly acceptable. One issue is the intersection of Mill Trail Drive and Mill Trail Lane. The applicant is proposing to replat River Mill3rd Addition to change Mill Trail Lane/Mill Tra" Drive from a loop street and make Mill Trail lane extend as a through street across the Ri er Mill 4th Addition (Exhibit C). Mill Trail Drive would intersect at a "T" with Mill Tr Lane. The proposed street layout results in a non-linear alignment of Mill Trail Lane. Saff recommends that the original layout of Mill Trail Lane/Mill Trail Drive within River Mill 3rd Addition be maintained and that Mill Trail Lane be extended to River Mill 4th Ad ition from a 90 degree intersection between 8 . PLA NINO COMMISSION MINUTES- 04/07/98 Lot 5, Block 4 of River Mill 3rd Addition an Lot 6, Block 2 of River Mill 4th Addition. Half Street. The applicant is proposing to pI t a half street 30 foot right-of-way on the east edge of the subject plat. The proposed aIf street provides access to Lots 13-17 of Block 2. The right-of-way for the other half of the street would not be dedicated until such time as the property to the east is subdi ided and developed. As only 30 feet of right-of-way is available, a public street desi ned to City standards cannot be provided. Staff recommends that the proposed half rig t-of-way be platted as an outlot and Lots 13- 17, Block 2 also be platted as a second outlo as access cannot be provided at this time. At such time as the property to the east of t 's plat is subdivided and developed, the east half of the public right-of-way will be requir d to be dedicated and a public street constructed. The outlot area of proposed L ts 13-17, Block 2 could then be subdivided and developed. The construction of this future street would e dependent upon the cooperation of two separate owners. If for whatever reason, the property owners cannot work together to construct the street, the City may be compe d to undertake a public improvement and assess adjacent property owners to complete the street. . Ri&ht-of-way. As required by Ordinance, th proper right-of-way width of 60 feet has been provided, except as discussed above. Access. Access into the proposed subdivisi n will be via Mill Trail Lane to River Mill Drive, which connects to Riverview Drive/C unty Highway 39. It is anticipated that there will be a future secondary access to County oad 39 to the east as adjacent parcels are developed. Blocks. Section 11-5-1 (A) of the Subdivisi n Ordinance establishes a maximum block length of 1,320 feet. The proposed subdivis on layout conforms with this requirement. The Subdivision Ordinance also suggests lot widths sufficient to accommodate two tiers of lots. The proposed blocks conform with his provision as well. Lots. The lots of River Mill 4th Addition a conform to the minimum lot area and lot width requirements of the R -1 District: Lot Area 12,00 square feet Lot Width: 80 fee . Further, all of the proposed lots demonstrat sufficient building area in consideration of R- 1 District setback requirements: Front Yard 30 fee Side Yard (Interior) 10 fee (Street) 20 fee Rear Yard 30 fee 9 . PL NING COMMISSION MINUTES- 04/07/98 Parks Dedication. Section 11-6-1 of the ubdivision requires a minimum 10% area of the gross final plat be dedicated to the City or development of parks, open space and trails. The applicant is proposing to dedicat 3.78 acres (26.51 % of gross area) designated as Outlot A on the plat to the Ci y. Park dedication requirements for this development have already been satisfied. A such, the dedication of Outlot A is over and above dedication requirements. Acceptanc of the dedication of Outlot A requires approval of the City Council. Sidewalks/Pathways. Section 11-7-2 (H) fthe Subdivision Ordinance stipulates that the City Council may require standard design si ewalks. Outlot A abuts a significantly sized park to the northwest and is adjacent to M' Trail Lane. As access to the park is available across Outlot A, no additional pathways are anticipated to be necessary. Screening. Proposed Outlot A separates th residential lots from the adjacent Interstate 94 off-ramp and right-of-way. Plans submit ed by the applicant indicate vegetative cover over the majority of the outlot. This vegeta ion will provide valuable buffer between residential areas and noise impacts of the Int rstate. Grading and Drainage. As required by Se tion 11-4-1, the applicant has submitted a grading plan for review (Exhibit F). The pr posed grading plan does not include erosion control measures, which will be required as art of a [mal grading plan. All grading, drainage and erosion control plans will be su ~ect to review and approval of the City Engineer. . Utility Plans. The applicant has submitted reliminary utility plans in accordance with Section 11-4-1 ofthe Subdivision Ordinance (Exhibit D). These plans will be subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. e City Engineer should also provide recommendation as to the need for easement to be included as part of the final plat. Assistant Administrator O'Neill noted that t e property owner to the East (Rod Norrel) has provided a written objection to the plat s proposed. He does not want to be required to dedicate a portion of his property toward evelopment of a street on the west side of his property. Bob Murray explained that the shared road arrangement proposed is the most efficient method for setting up the lots or both properties. He noted that the parcel tot the east can develop two tiers of lots wit the layout as proposed. AFTER DISCUSSION, A MOTION WAS ADE BY ROD DRAGSTEN AND SECONDED BY DICK MARTIE TO TAB E APPROVAL OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAT AND DIRECT CITY STAFF TO RE EARCH ISSUES RELATING TO SHARED USE OF ROAD RIGHT OF W A BETWEEN PLATS. . Motion passed unanimously. 10 . . . 9. NINO COMMISSION MINUTES- 04/07/98 City Planner surrnnarized the request as foll ws: E & K Development is requesting Develop nt Stage PUD and preliminary plat approval for the proposed development of Klein Far s Estates 3rd Addition. The proposed preliminary plat was also considered previo sly, but action was tabled pending approval of Development Stage PUD. The developmen consists of 34 single family units within eight twin home buildings and five quad unit buil ings. The subject site is located between Farmstead Drive and School Boulevard, adj cent to the Edmonson Avenue (County Road 117), and abuts Klein Farms 2nd Addition s' gle family development to the east. The use is appropriate for the zoning district of the s bject property, but requires PUD/CUP approval to accommodate the proposed private street. Cul-De-Sac. Section 11-5-3 ofthe Subdi ision Ordinance suggests that cul-de~sac streets not exceed 600 feet under normal co ditions. The cul-de-sac proposed for the private street is approximately 610 feet in Ie gth. The additional length can be accommodated within the PUD flexibility a considered appropriate to provide additional green areas between structures. In confor nee with Subdivision Ordinance requirements, the radius of the private street cul-de-sac has been expanded to 60 feet. Also, consistent with Concept Plan PUD ap roval conditions, the paved area of the cul- de-sac has been expanded from 45 feet to 5 feet. A green space island of 44 feet in diameter has been provided in the center of e cul~de-sac, which will be provided with additional landscaping. Driveways. The Development Stage PUD has been revised from Concept Plan PUD layouts such that all of the proposed units ac ess Farmstead Drive via the private street. This is different from the Concept Plan that ad Units 1/3 and 33/34 accessing directly from Farmstead Drive. However, there are everal issues with the proposed shared driveways: 1. All driveways at the quad units are 0 ly 12 feet wide, which is insufficient for two- way traffic, whereas a suggested 18 et would provide for two-way traffic and address issues of emergency access. owever, widening the driveway widths would increase the overall imperviou surface coverage of the site and reduce green area. 2. Reduced green area adjacent to Unit 3 and 34 as the driveway is only 10 feet from the structure, whereas 20 feet is co on for other quad homes and twin homes. 3. Reduced snow storage area that coul impact visibility. These issues may suggest that the co bination of structures, as well as the number 11 . PLA NINO COMMISSION MINUTES- 04/07/98 of structures may be more than can t on the site. The removal of one or more of the structures may provide sufficien area to allow the site to be re-oriented to address the issues above. Setbacks. The proposed Development St ge PUD plan illustrates conformance with all applicable perimeter setbacks of structures om adjacent properties. Sidewalks/Paths. There is an eight foot w de bituminous pathway extending from the cul-de-sac to a connection with existing sid walks adjacent to School Boulevard. This connection is positive as it provides pedestr' access to the east of the site (and park access). Lots. The proposed development is to be latted in a base lot/unit lot configuration. Residents will own their unit and directly su ounding ground area. The base lot area will be held in common by an owners associatio responsible for all grounds keeping maintenance. Documents establishing the 0 ners association will be required as part of final PUD application. Density. The total area of the parcel is 8.58 acres. With 34 dwelling units, the resulting gross density is 3.96 units per acre. When e sement and ponding areas are considered, the resulting net density is 4.92 units per acre. he Monticello Comprehensive Plan defines densities of five units an acre as mid density. With the recommendation of staff to reduce the number of units discussed above, the net density can be expected to decrease. . I~andscaping. Approval of the PUD Cone pt Plan was based upon the conditions that the green area around the twin homes be inc eased, the front yards of these units be intensely landscaped and the natural drainag area be provided with a mixture of trees, shrubs and ground cover or grasses that wo ld thrive in that environment. The intent of these requirements was to justify granting flexibility from strict Zoning Ordinance provisions in exchange for an enhanced deve opment and elements intended to mitigate the impact of reduced performance standards. I consideration of these requirements, the submitted landscape plan with minimal plant" g materials is inadequate. The quantities and specifications of planting terials must be substantially increased prior to being considered acceptable in exchange fi r PUD flexibility. The intensive plantings required of Klein Farms Estates 1st Addition (Exhibit D) should be considered a model upon which a landscape plan for this develop nt be created. Intensive landscaping may be extended beyond the front yards of the twO units, however, to include the open/drainage area, cul-de-sac center island, and areas around the quad units. Intensive landscaping of the entire site may satisfactor" y mitigate the impacts of the "tight" site plan as proposed. . Building Plans. The applicant has not pro ided typical building elevations and floor plans for the proposed structures. These pIa s should be provided prior to [mal plat application and are subject to review and app oval of the City Council. 12 . NING COMMISSION MINUTES- 04/07/98 Snow Storage. Due to the intense use of t e subject site, there are limited areas for snow storage. As a condition of preliminary plat pproval, the applicant will be required to incorporate a snow removal plan as part of he owners association rules and bylaws. Park Dedication. Park dedication require ents applicable to this project have been satisfied by the dedication of land along Fall n A venue, south of School Boulevard, that was made at the time Klein Farms Estates 1 t Addition was approved. Easements. The City Engineer should pro ide comment and recommendation on the need for easements per the Subdivision Ord' ance requirements. Parking. The proposed building footprint indicate a two stall garage for each unit. The driveways adjacent to the units all have a . imum depth of 20 feet, which is sufficient to accommodate one vehicle. As such, each u it has four off-street parking stalls. The proposed width of the private street an access drives to the quad units is insufficient to allow on-street parking due to concern fo emergency vehicle access. As such, on- street parking will be prohibited along the p ivate streets and driveways not directly adjacent to a garage. . Development Agreement. The applicant ill be required to enter into a development agreement with the City if the final plat is ap roved and post all necessary securities that may be required. Grading and Drainage. As required by S ction 11-4-1, the applicant has submitted a grading plan for review (Exhibit C). All gr ing, drainage and erosion control plans will be subject to review and approval of the Cit Engineer. Utility Plans. The applicant has submitted preliminary utility plans in accordance with Section 11-4-1 of the Subdivision Ordinance These plans will be subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. Grittman noted staff recommendation which is to grant approval of the Development Stage pun and preliminary plat subject to t conditions listed in Exhibit n. Of greatest concern is the landscaping plan which is sub tantially below the standard which has been required of similar developments, and what i necessary to provide a high level of project quality as required of pun projects. As noted in the proposed conditions, we wo Id suggest an 18 foot wide driveway for the quad units. This dimension would minimally accommodate two vehicles, and would avoid problem... where a large gathering results in 0 erflow parking along the driveway. . The public hearing was opened. Sara Schmi t asked about zoning standards. She was told by the Realtor that single family residential ould be located in this area when she built her home. 13 . PLA NINO COMMISSION MINUTES- 04/07/98 Stacy Foley asked if these are going to be r ntal properties. Developer Bill Gleason said no, we are building one level townhomes fo seniors with a base price of $120,000. Mary Schwarz asked what was going to be done t improve the swamp area? Gleason responded by saying that it will be laid out a a drainage and detention pond. They will comply with grading and drainage and vegeation requirements. Liz Demary asked if there will be an associa ion. Gleason noted that yes, there will there be an association. The development will be lly sodded and landscaped. An underground sprinkler system will be in place. Maintenan e free vinyl. Some brick and higher grade shingles. There was discussion about sale of the tow homes.

Steve Grittman provided his staff report on 13 unit development. Public hearing was opened. Mike Cyr note that the plan needed to be modified to return to the original plan which called for a 7 unit development. The change is due to the inability to acquire the land necessary to co plete the 13 unit development. After reviewing comments by Cyr on the re ised application, Steve Grittman recommended approval of the revised plan ased on the fmding that the project is generally consistent with the intent of the Ci y's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. The proposed project is also ge erally compatible with the existing uses in the area. As such, staff recommends appro al of both the PUD and Preliminary Plat with the aforementioned conditions. Public hearing was closed. AFTER DISCUSSION, A MOTION WAS ADE BY ROD DRAOSTEN AND SECONDED BY DICK MARTIE TO APP OVE THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT/CONDITIONAL USE P RMIT FOR THE CONCEPT AND DEVELOPMENT STAGE SUBJECT TO HE CONDITIONS LISTED BELOW: 1. A landscape plan is submitted which 'dentifies the location, size and variety of site planting. 2. Provision of a privacy fence on the s uth side of the property. 3. Approval of grading and drainage iss es by the City Engineer and Public Works. 4. Preliminary and Final Plat will be revewed and approved at time of Final PUD. Motion based on the finding that the develo ment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; existing land use in the area; the pro vis ons of the Zoning Ordinance, and other City's use of Planned Unit Development. Motion Carried unanimously. 15 . PL NINO COMMISSION MINUTES- 04/07/98 Fred Patch reported that Mr. Scott Rolfe 0 Skipper's Pools and Spas is proposing to seasonally setup and display an above grou d swimming pool in the paved area east and irmnediately adjacent to the building housin his business. Open/outside sale as an accessory use is allowed as a conditional u e in the B-4, Regional Business District subject to the following conditions: 1. The outside sale must to- be connected with the princi al use and limited to 30% of the gross floor area of the principal use (or arger only as a condition of the conditional use permit). to- be compatible in its relation hip to the Comprehensive Plan, to- be compatible in its relation hip to the geographical area and the character of the surrounding area, to- be justified by a demonstrati n of the need for such use, and to- not depreciate the area in w 'ch it is proposed. . 2. Lighting must be directed away fro the public right of way. 3. The sales area must be surfaced to c While it is clear that the outside display and sales of swimming pools is connected with the principal use of the property, the outdoor r tail display and sales of large products such as swimming pools appears to be inconsistent nd incompatible in its relationship with the Comprehensive Plan and the intents of the onticello Downtown and Riverfront Revitalization Plan to, "...create developme t that "fits" the context of each district." The Broadway - "Downtown" district is intende to provide for small and mid-sized retail, specialty retail, and personal and business s rvices. It does not appear to be intended for the outdoor display and sales of swimming ools or other large scale products such as automobiles, garden structures, lumber, and the like. If the Commission finds that this proposed se is compatible with the intents of the Comprehensive Plan, and a conditional use ermit is approved by the City Council, the pool display would cover approximately 61 square feet of the paved drive and parking area as depicted on the Exhibit C h Site PI . On-site parking for the business would remain sufficient as at least 12 parking stall are provided on the site, and according to the applicant, at least 10 additional stalls could e developed across the alley to the north of the building. Currently, parking stalls are n t sufficiently marked or striped. . According to the application for conditional use permit, the swimming pool would be surrounded with a railing system to prevent unauthorized entry and would not contain water. 16 . PLA NING COMMISSION MINUTES- 04/07/98 Public hearing was opened. Scott Rolfe reported that the pool is a self c ntained swinuning pool with a railing. It is a kit pool with treated lumber. Currently his tore is the only on in the state that carries this pool. It is a specialty item and it is a special y store. Rolfe stated he could put it in the back, but it is not visible. He stated he woul be able to abide by all of the conditions noted. The pool would take up some space. Rita Ulrich MCP director asked about the location of the pool relative to the parking and drive area. Rolfe responded by saying that t e pool itself is 12 by 24. Room is available between the pool and the sidewalk for vehic es. Public hearing was closed. Dick Martie says the man is in the pool bus' ess. Finding that it is non-compatible is a matter of interpretation. . AFfER DISCUSSION, A MOTION WAS ADE BY DICK MARTIE AND SECONDED BY ROD DRAGSTEN TO R COMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL THAT THE ISSUANCE OF THE CONDI IONAL USE PERMIT BE APPROVED BASED ON THE FINDING THAT THE P OPOSED OUTDOOR DISPLAY AND SALES USE AS PROPOSED IS: · connected with the principal use and . ited to no more than 30% of the gross floor area of the principal use, · compatible in its relationship to the · compatible in its relationship to the g ographical area and the character of the surrounding area, · justified by a demonstration of the n d for such use, and · does not substantially depreciate the ea in which it is proposed.

Motion passed unanimously. L DuFresne Steve Grittman provided a staff report out' ing the request. The public hearing was opened. The developer Wendal Maltbie noted that t e site is very difficult to develop for the use proposed under the CCD district regulation due to parking regulations. Property owner Chuck Desfresne made a similar observatio and they both requested that the parcel remain in the B-3 District boundaries. Public hearing was closed. Dick Frie stated that the city needs to enco rage this type of development at this location. Rod Dragsten concurred. This is a valuable piece of commercial property on 1-94 -- I think it should be a B-3 zoning. AFTER DISCUSSION, A MOTION WAS MADE BY DICK MARTIE AND SECONDED BY ROD DRAGSTEN TO MEND ACTION TAKEN EARLIER IN THE MEETING TO PLACE THE SITE I THE CCD DISTRICT.

Motion passed unanimously. 18 . 13. . . NING COMMISSION MINUTES- 04/07/98 Fred Patch reported that Mr. Glen Posusta f Amax Self Storage, LLC is proposing to amend the existing conditional use permit 9 -017 to add three buildings to the site currently serving Amax Self Storage. Two of the proposed buildings are 3,960 square feet in area each, and are intended only for door storage purposes. The third building is to provide 3,668 square feet of office space and 2,620 square feet of indoor storage space. In addition to the proposed buildings, a fen e is proposed to surround the entire property with the exception of in front of the propos d offices toward Dundas Road. Conunercial storage contained entirely wit in a building is a conditional use in the B-3, Highway Business District (See Exhibit A) The commercial office is a permitted use, and in this case accessory to the principal use. Staff has reviewed the site plan proposed y the applicant (See Exhibit C). The site plan as proposed meets all requirements of city rdinances with exception of the following: 1. The office building must be provide with at least 21 parking stalls. Only 14 parking stalls plus one handicap aco ss aisle are provided by the proposed plan. 2. The fence is proposed to be constr cted of masonry and wrought iron/steel along Dundas Road; however, the balanc of the fence is proposed to be chain link with three strands of barbed wire on top. (See Separate Variance Petition) Mr. Posusta has agreed to redesign the site plan to accommodate additional parking and improve on site traffic flow (See attached evised Site Plan -- Exhibit D). The City Engineer has recommended that only one cess be permitted off of Dundas Road. The relocation of the street access to the center of the parking area and relocation of the gate into the storage area will accommodate boh the needs of Amax Self Storage and the City. Public hearing was opened. Posusta made 'omments relative to the need for barbed wire fence as detailed in related item. Public hearing was closed. AFTER DISCUSSION, A MOTION WA MADE BY ROD DRAGSTEN AND SECONDED BY DICK MARTIE TO RE OMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL THAT THE CONDITIONAL USE PER IT AMENDING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 93-017 BE APPROVED TO OW SITE IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDING 19 . . . PL NINO COMMISSION MINUTES- 04/07/98 THE ADDITION OF THREE (3) NEW B ILDINGS TO INCLUDE STORAGE AND OFFICE USE, FINDING THAT THE PR POSED USE IS COMPATIBLE IN ITS RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPREHE SIVE PLAN, & COMPATIBLE IN ITS RELA TIONSHlP TO THE GEOORAPHI AL AREA AND THE CHARACTER OF THE SURROUNDING AREA. The Conditional Use Permit shall be subject to the following conditions: a. The site plan for the Amax S lf Storage facility and offices must be as depicted by Exhibit D. b. Prior to issuance of a buildin' permit for the construction of a new building subject to this conditional us permit, Amax Self Storage, LLC must comply with all conditions 0 the original Conditional Use Permit 93-017. c. Prior to issuance of a buildin permit for the construction of any new building, the City Engineer ust approve the grading and drainage plan submitted in application for uilding permit. d. Prior to issuance of a buildin permit the applicant must specify the species and size of trees to be plante e. All areas of the site not pave or built upon must be sodded to the property lines on the south, east and est, and to the street on the north. Motion carried unanimously. 14. Fred Patch explained that Mr. Olen Posusta f Amax Self Storage is requesting a variance to allow the installation of barbed wire on to of a chain link: security fence to be constructed in locations, as described in Ex "bit C, at the Amax Self Storage facility in the B-3, Highway Business District. On March 14, 1998, the City of Monticello dopted an ordinance amending the City Zoning Code Section 3-2 [F] as it related to fences, prohibiting barbed wire, razor ribbon, electric fences, and the like. (See Exhibit A. It is the opinion of staff that such dangerous fencing materials represent blight, are not aesthetically compatible with the desired . e of developed areas of the City, and present a significant hazard to the health, safety and elfare of the public. 20 . . . PL NING COMMISSION MINUTES- 04/07/98 Patch went on to report staffrecomrnendat'on to deny the request based on finding that the applicant has failed to demonstrate a un que circumstance or hardship. Public Hearing was opened. Posusta noted hat he wants straight barbed wire which is difficult to notice. The contention is that it s a danger to city residents. Posusta commented, "I think: I have a bigger danger with the holding pond. The pond can be up to 6 'to 8'." The barbed wire is viewed as anot er deterrent. It is a marketing tool and not necessarily related to functional benefit. Posusta was asked if he has had security pr blems. He stated that he had not had a problem with security. Public hearing was closed. A MOTION WAS MADE BY DICK MAR IE TO APPROVE THE VARIANCE BASED ON THE FINDINGS THAT DUE TO A SECURITY CONCERN, A SUFFICIENT HARDSHIP HAS BEEN D MONSTRA TED. Motion died for a lack of a second. MOTION MADE BY ROD DRAGSTEN D SECONDED BY DICK FRIE TO DENY THE VARIANCE BASED ON TH FINDING THAT A HARDSHIP HAS NOT BEE DEMONSTRATED. Voting in favor, Frie and Dragsten; opposed Martie. 15. Steve Grittman reported that Star City Buil ers has requested the City review a proposed townhome development concept along the s uth side of 7th Street. The project consists of 60 dwelling units in two and four-unit clu ters. The proposal is designed around three cul-de-sacs, from which the 56 of the 60 uni s would gain access to either 7th Street or Minnesota Street. An additional 4 unit struc ure proposes access to 7th Street via a direct driveway. The current zoning of the area is PZM, Perti rmance Zone - Mixed. This designation provides for townhouse style development b conditional use permit. The proposed project would meet the general intent of the oning District with regard to land use and structure type. The Comprehensive Plan call for a land use pattern which is similar to that of the existing development. In this are , the community is transitioning from higher density residential development and tradition I single family areas to a more suburban style subdivision. At approximately 10.2 acres, th density of the project is just under six units per acre, a mid-density pattern as defmed by he Comprehensive Plan. The proposal would appear to meet the housing style and ensity concepts supported in the Plan. 21 . NINO COMMISSION MINUTES- 04/07/98 Surrounding land uses affect the project as ell. To the north lies an auto salvage business, and some vacant land which is co trolled by the auto salvage operation. To the south lies the future connection route for 7 Street, and B-3 zoned commercial property between the 7th Street route and 1-94. Bu ering of these differing land uses would be necessary to help ensure a positive resident' I environment. As noted above, all but four of the units sound a series of three cul-de-sacs. This results in the development of a relatively in ulated neighborhood. As a collector route, the City will discourage direct access from 7th treet, so the proposed design would appear to meet this objective. However, it may be be eficial to consider a project layout which avoids the use of cul-de-sac design and bett r reflects the more traditional pattern found in Monticello. One possible design option could be to focu the entire project along a single primary street which meanders through the property This would help to break up a pavement- dominated streetscape appearance, and wou d retain the varied building facade setbacks built into the current proposal. With the co cept plan as drawn, the cul~de-sac areas would consist of broad expanses of paveme t, including the street and the driveways, many of which flow into each other before r aching the street itself. With a different layout, street access points from Minnesota treet, 7th Street and Elm Street on the west would help distribute internal traffic. . Project architecture is another area where t plan can reflect traditional Monticello development. We would encourage a mix 0 unit types, with traditional detailing reflective of the existing community where ossible. On the positive side, we believe that the mix d size of unit clusters would help to vary the streetscape, and the plan would appear to al w for a variation in building facades along the street. In addition, there appears to be a significant reservation of open space in the project, particularly in common areas shared by residents of the development. The project should be sensitive to issues on djoining parcels. The City's buffer yard requirements will apply to the north based 0 an industrial - residential buffer standard. In addition, there are adjoining properties whic will be affected by access, layout, and the street alignment of this project. We would r commend consideration for access and future development of neighboring properties be in egrated into this project design at a conceptual level. At this stage, the project is in concept form nly. The Planning Commission's role should be to identify the land use and design issues hich the project raises, above and beyond engineering issues which will be raised as mo e detailed plans are developed. Any changes which the City would like to lead the develo er toward should be mentioned at this stage to guide the design of the next phase of proj ct planning. . 22 . Grittman recommended approval of the St City Builders concept, but with conditions which would alter the design. The purpos a concept approval would be to endorse the general land use pattern and unit types (2 a d 4 unit townhouses) of about six units per acre. The conditions suggested in Exhibit are focused on design and layout issues. At this time, there are also issues relating to t e construction of 7th Street in this area, and the existence of an intervening structure at innesota Street and the route of 7th Street. These issues would need to be resolved as part of any continuing consideration. After discussion it was the general consens s to accept the concept plan subject to the following conditions. 1. Reorientation ofthe street system t provide fewer, or no, cul-de-sacs in the project. 2. Development of a plan which avoid joined driveways and other large expanses of pavement. 3. Submission of plans for Developme t Stage PUD approval which include: a. b. . c. d. e. Utility Plan. Street Plan, including 7th St eet. Grading and Drainage Plan. Landscape Plan, including b ffering from neighboring land uses. Floor and Elevation Plans fo the proposed units. 4. Concept Plan coordinating develop nt on the exception parcel at the southeast corner of the project. 16. 'il 17. 18. . Assistant Administrator O'Neill reported th t the City Council has requested that the Chairman of the Planning Commission serve as representative to the newly formed Orderly Annexation Board. 23 . PL NNING COMMISSION MINUTES- 04/07/98 A few weeks ago the City Council and To nship established a new agreement outlining the process of annexation. This agreement stipulated creation of an orderly annexation board comprised of two members from the Township, two from the City and one from the County. The role of this board is to evalua e annexation requests for consistency with the comprehensive plan and for consistency wi h the minimum requirements for annexation. Attached is a copy of the agreement. This oard needs to form quickly to address three annexation requests and to adopt land use egulations for the annexation area. This Board will meet once a month.

(FP) This item was previously before the Plannin Commission on April 7, 1998. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the onditional use permit to allow open sales of swimming pools at 101 West Broadway. n April 13, 1998, the City Council reviewed the recommendation of the Planning Co ssion and moved that the application should be returned to the Planning Commission fo further consideration as it appeared that there was information in the application that had ot been fully considered by the Commission. Mr. Scott Rolfe intends to install an outdoo swimming pool display and sales area downtown, just to the east of the building 0 the northwest corner of West Broadway and Hwy 25/pine Street. The swimming pool a d surrounding decking is planning to be 34 feet in length and 7 feet in height, covering pproximately 634 square feet of the existing parking and drive area. Upon comparing the site plan against the d survey provided by Mr. Rolfe, the distance between the pool display and the property . e east of the proposed pool display would be effectively reduced to 7.68 feet in width or ess. With the required 5 foot driveway setback applied to the drive aisle, the drive isle width would be only 2.68 feet in width. The loss of the drive aisle significantly alter the usability of on site parking and traffic movement. In addition to the drive aisle concerns, the ity Council mentioned the impact the outdoor display may have on the intentions of the D wntown and Riverfront Revitalization Plan as adopted into the City of Monticello Compr hensive Plan. That issue is whether or not the outdoor open display and sales of swimmin pools or other large scale products is an appropriate use in the downtown, B-4 Regi nal Business district. For a conditional use permit to be allowed, the City Zoning Code requires that the use be: ,.. Compatible in its relationshi to the Comprehensive Plan, ,.. Compatible in its relationshi to the geographical area and the character of the surrounding area, and ,.. Justified by a demonstration of the need for such use. Outdoor retail display and sales of large pr ducts such as swimming pools appears to be inconsistent and incompatible in its relation hip with the Comprehensive Plan and the C:\SANDY\WORIMGENDA\'lKIPPERS.PC 1 . . .

No other retail use in downtown area conducts the 0 tdoor display and sale of such large-sized products. It is the opinion of staff that the outdoor di play and sales of swinuning pools or other such large scale products in the downtown ea of the City is not consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan, not in keeping ith the Vision Statement, and not aesthetically appropriate to the downtown ea of the City.

Probable Costs It might be assumed that five loans per year might b provided in each category, with a $25,000 loan maximum for storefr nt improvements and a $50,000 loan maximum for infrastructure i provements. A design grant related to the storefront improvement would be $2500. The term of the loan program (that is, the period f time which the City determines is appropriate to operate the progra ) and the cost of the write-down witt determine the total cost for the a tion. The pedestrian "pass-throughs" would cost approxim tely $22,000. F ltltd in ~ Tax increment financing might be the best source 0 funds for a loan progarm. Staff time will be required to organize and initiate 10 n program: MCP cou Id poll building owners and help them move through the loan, design and implementation process. Tax abatement might be a likely source of funds fo individuals who desire to make improvements on their own. TIF will be the most likely source of funds for the d velopment of the pedestrian "pass-throughs." Related Guidinr Principles. Improve Broadway outside of downtown An identity related to Monticello: This road is t e introduction to Monticello for many who use Broadway to get to d wntown or to get through the community, yet it says nothing of the co munity. Actions should be taken in concert with the county's planne reconstruction to make it feel more like a local street - Broadway - than a county highway - CASH 75. A transportation web: All streets are important to anaging traffic in Monticello, but it cannot be accomplished solely y making bigger roads. The configuration of the road is important allowing for free flow of traffic, but this does not have to mean moe lanes of traffic. Also, as the road is planned, accommodation of ot er transportation modes (bicycles and pedestrians) should be a part of he road's design. r ""'1 "" ,.

Planning Commission Agenda -5/05/98 Darrel Farr Development Corporation has a plied for approval to develop single family plat of a 79 lot single family development to be k own as "Wildwood Ridge". This property has been known as the "Anderson" property, nd is currently unincorporated but within the Monticello Orderly Annexation Area. Th property consists of approximately 39 acres straddling County Road 118. The develo ment portion of the plat would occur on the southwest side of 118, with about three a d one half acres northeast of 118 taken up by wetlands and storm ponding. The property lli on the southeast side of the" onte Club Hill". It is severely sloped, and has a large stand of trees covering its northwest uarter. City staff has had discussions with the developer regarding extraordinary efforts to rovide protection for this resource. Since the hill area is one of the two or three most do 'ant natural features of the area's landscape, staff would like to be able to explore the opportunity to create an environment which preserves the major features and provides rea onable return for the development of the land. This opportunity may include the creation of a special set of considerations for development of the Monte Club Hill area. Considerations y include additional tree or slope preservation efforts, as well as clustered development to 'nimize impacts on sensitive or unique natural areas. Public access and use of some of hese areas should also be included in such an analysis. This area may be appropriate for' clusion in a greenway concept which connects the school campus and the rest of the City's pathway system. The developers have indicated a willingness to consider additional preservation efforts as a part of their development scheme, and hav prepared an alternative plat as one example of how the City and the developer can accomp sh those objectives. That plan will be available for review at the Planning Commission's upc ming meeting. As a result, we are withholding detailed review of the current plat proposal to allow for Planning Commission feedback on the alternative. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS 1.

The purpose ofthis letter is to confirm the developers commitment re arding key design considerations and tree preservation. As you know, we have completed a tree inventory and location survey. This work followed our submission ofthe proposed prelimin plat on March 13, 1998. The tree inventory has provided the developer and its consultants wit sufficient detail to support revisions to the plat and preliminary engineering plans. With the tree nventory we are able to prepare a tree preservation plan, modify the plat accordingly and duely consi er the plat under the provisions of Planned Unit Development section of the ordinance. The tree preservation plan alters the previously su mitted preliminary plat in the following significant areas: 1. The removal of home sites from wood d areas and the resultant increase in outlots for the tree preservation areas. 2. Realignment of the public road in the ooded area to mitigate tree loss. 3. More precise location of home sites ( uilding pads) in response to tree preservation objectives.- " ...\ 15050 23rd Avenue North .

Reconfiguration of lots and front and side y rd setbacks to accommodate tree preservation/protection. 5. The removal of 5 lots in wooded areas are p rtially replaced by an increased lot count in the open field non-woodland area. As we discussed during prior meetings, reasonable and rudent tree preservation methods will be employed by Darrel A. Farr Development Corp. and th home. The monetary and aesthetic value of the individual residential lots and the development as a hole is directly proportional to woodland preservation. The developer will employ tree preservat on techniques similar to those enforced in the Maple Grove Gladstone project. These techniques ill include: I. Providing each lot purchaser a tree inve tory, building location, and tree loss/tree preservation notations. 2. The developer will review each lot build ng proposal and house plan for consistency with the approved tree preservation pIa . 3. The developer will review site construct on as well as home building activities to provide further assurance and compliance with the site development and tree preservation plans. . 4. The developer will provide with the sale of each lot, tree preservation instructions and recommended tree preservation techniq e responsibilities. Darrell A. FaIT Development Corp. has successfully e ployed these tree preservation/protection methods in the implementation of the Gladstone planne unit development in the city of Maple Grove. These specific techniques, detailed site design nd construction procedures will be further elaborated on during subsequent plan development and review phase. On behalf of Darrel A.

Planning Commission Agenda -5/05/98 (NAC) Daryl Tindle is requesting approval of a simp e subdivision of property located at 1707 West Broadway. This parcel is adjacent to Hillcres Park, and has a single family home facing West Broadway, a county highway. Lot requireme ts include a minimum of 12,000 square feet and 80 feet of width, with setbacks of 30 feet fro t yard, 30 feet rear yard, and 10 feet side yard. The parcel is encumbered by a power line easement which restricts the ability to create buildable area. With an existing home and etached garage on the parcel, any new side lot line is required to be located no closer than 0 feet to the current structures. As can be see on the Site Plan, Exhibit B, the applicant has stirnated the locations of the existing structures. Based on this drawing there should be adequ te room to construct a new home on the newly subdivided parcel without requiring setback v 'ances. However, this will need to be verified by certified land survey prior to recording of the subdivision or approval of any building permit. With regard to lot sizes, both lots will b significantly oversized compared to the R-1 requirements. The new lots would be more han 35,000 square feet and 43,000 square feet in area. As noted, however, a significant por ion of the lots is encumbered by the power line easement. Therefore, this proposal is likely the only subdivision arrangement possible. It should be noted that the applicant has illust ated a number of alternative land trades which involve remnants of parcels under the pow r line easement. This review does not address those trades as they would not affect the ab 'ty to construct additional housing units in this area. In addition to the requirement that a surv y be completed which verifies the dimensions proposed by the applicant, the City will re uire written confirmation of a driveway access permit from Wright County. The applicant as indicated that verbal authorization has been granted at the time of application. Finally, th City Engineer should comment on the need for additional utility and drainage easements in . s area. Since the lots were previously platted in an alternative layout, easements were pro ided which would no longer conform to the lot lines. Any additional drainage or utility issu s should be reviewed to ensure that the revised subdivision plan will not affect, or be adv rsely affected by, the existing patterns in the neighborhood. 6 C :\SANDY\WORD\AGENDA\TINDLE.PC . . . B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS Planning Commission Agenda -5/05/98 1. Motion to approve the simple subdivis on as proposed, subject to the conditions listed in Exhibit Z. 2. Motion to deny the simple subdiv sion, based upon a fmding that the existing conditions in the neighborhood ne atively affect the appropriate development of additional single family homes. 3. Motion to table action on the simple subdivision, pending additional information. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the simple su ivision, subject to the conditions listed in the attached Exhibit Z. The conditions include s rvey verification that the dimensions proposed by the applicant will be upheld, and that there ill be adequate buildable area for an additional home on the new lot. Staff would like to not that this application was accepted without the typical requirement for a survey to facilitate ity review prior to the applicant's expenditure of significant funds on surveying. As a simp I subdivision, staff considered the review of the application to be possible without the surv y requirement being enforced up front. Upon approval by the City, the applicant would t en be able to contract for the survey with the confidence that his proposal has been appro ed. D.

United Methodist Church is requesting a rez ning of their parcel south of County Road 118 and north of the City water tower site from A 0, Agriculture to P~S, Public and Serni~Public District. The P~S District is typically single zo ed parcel~ intended to accommodate land uses that are distinct from other large land use. Religious institutions such as churches are allowed in the P~S Di~trict as a conditional u ; therefore the applicant has requested approval of a CUP as well. The subject site is cu ntly outside the City limits within the Orderly Annexation Area (OAA). As such, all action aken by the City with regards to this application is conditioned upon annexation of the parc 1 into the City, which may be processed at an administrative level. 1. Annexation The subject site is within the established 0 . As a result, annexation of the parcel into the City should be a matter of administrative pr cessing. All actions by the City with regard to the rezoning and CUP applications will be c nditioned upon approval of the annexation. 2. Rezoning The purpose of the P~S District is to pro ide for the unique location and development characteristics of public or semi-public uses, . cluding churches. The District recognizes that the these uses may occupy only single pare Is surrounded by different uses and establishes performance standards intended to address co atibility and impact issues of the institutional use. Therefore, the issue of spot zoning sh uld not be considered an issue. The 6.35 acre size of the subject site is sufficient to prov de adequate site design that minimizes off-site impacts of the proposed use. 3. Conditional Use Permit Religious institutions, including churches e allowed as a conditional use within the P-S District, subject to the following: a. Religious institutions on parcels exce ding 20,000 square feet in area shall be located with direct frontage on, and access 0, a collector or arterial street. C :\SANDYlWORD\AGENDA\METHCHUR.PC 8 . . . Planning Commission Agenda -5/05/98 Comment: The subject site hasfronta e to County Road 118, which is considered to be a collector street. In terms of ccess, the applicant is proposing to utilize the existing City access to the water tow r site as a shared driveway. This idea has the benefit of reducing the number of a cess points onto County Road 118. However, the City access is currently only a Ii ited use gravel drive that would be inadequate to handle traffic associated with t e church. At a minimum, a shared driveway should be improved to the driveway r quirements outlined in Section 3~5{D}9 of the Zoning Ordinance, which are a 24 fo t wide bituminous sUlface with concrete curb. The driveway improvements should e extended the length of the east property line of the subject site. The extent of improvements and the cost of installation is a matter that will need to be negoti ted between the applicant and the City as the adjacent property owner. If a shar d driveway were not used, the applicant would have to provide similar improvement for a private driveway on their own property. As such, the required improvement are not beyond the minimum required by the Zoning Ordinance. b. The buildings are setback from adjo ning residential districts a distance no less than double the adjoining residential setb ck. Comment: There are no establishe residential districts that abut the subject site. However, the setback of the principal structure is at minimum 70 feet from a side lot line, which would exceed the condit'on requirements. c. Parking areas are developed to acco odate the most intense concurrent uses of the facility so as to minimize overflow arking onto the public street. Comment: Section 3-5{H}8 of the Zo ing Ordinance requires one stall per each four seats within the main assembly ha I, based upon building design. The submitted building floor plans indicate that the main Worship hall will have a design capacity of 332 seats. Based upon this info tion and Zoning Ordinance Requirements, 83 parking stalls are required. The sub itted site plan indicates that 115 parking stalls have been provided. The parking sta Is above the ordinance requirements satisfy the condition to provide ovetflow parki g. d. Compliance with requirements of S ction 22 of the Monticello Zoning Ordinance. Comment: Section 22 of the Zon ng Ordinance addresses compatibility of the proposed use and compliance with Comprehensive Plan goals and policies. The subject is in a location and of suffi ient size that will avoid compatibility conflicts with adjacent land uses. C :\SANDYlWORD\AGENDA\METHCHUR.PC 9 . . . 3. Site Plan Review Planning Commission Agenda -5/05/98 Building Elevations. Structures ithin the P-S District are limited to a maximum building height of 50 feet howeve , church spires or belfries are exempt. The applicant will be required to provide uilding elevations, which are subject to review and approval of the City Council. Landscaping. The applicant has not provided a landscaping plan for the subject site as required by Section 3-2[0] of the ning Ordinance. Landscaping is an important consideration for this project to preve t erosion of the significant slopes of the subject site. In developing a landscape pla , the applicant should consider the opportunity for a unique landscape treatrrent to t e slopes adjacent to the parking areas including retaining walls/terraced gardens. S aff has also discussed the potential joint use of the sloped area between the Churc and City park system as a sledding hill. This concept should be considered by the Parks and Recreation Commission. The landscape plan will be subject to re iew and approval of the City Council. Parking. As noted above, the num er of required parking stalls has been exceeded for the proposed use. Section 3-5[D1 of the Zoning Ordinance outlines parking area design requirements. Parking stall must be 9 feet wide and 20 feet deep. The proposed parking stalls conform to this requirement. Drive aisles must be 24 feet wide. The drive aisles on the site p are approximately 22 feet wide. The applicant should verify that the drive aisles are 24 feet wide or revise the site plan accordingly. Based upon the number of proposed parking stalls, five stalls must be designated for disability accessible use, including at ast one van accessible stall. Disabled accessible stalls must be 9 feet wide with and adjacent 4 foot access strip and van accessible stalls must be 9 feet wide with an jacent 7 foot access strip. The disability stalls may be so located to share an access trip. The site plan should be revised to indicate the location of required disability a cessible stalls. Section 3-5[D]9.k of the Zoning Or ance requires that all parking areas be surfaced bituminous or other material to c ntrol dust. Also, Section 3-5[D]9.0 requires concrete curb around the perime er of all parking areas and islands. These improvements will be required to b installed. Grading, Drainage and Utility p. os. The applicant has submitted a site grading plan. However, the plans do not inc ude proposed erosion control measures. Given the significant slopes of the subje t site, an erosion control plan is critical. All grading, drainage and utility plans m st be subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.

Planning Commission Agenda -5/05/98 9. Builders. (NAC) Star City Builders, Inc., has submitted a plan requesting Concept Stage PUD approval for a 60 unit townhouse project between Elm nd Minnesota Streets, along the 7th Street aligrurent. The property is zoned PZM, whi 'h allows residential PUDs by Conditional Use Permit. This developer had submitted a st draft plan which the Planning Commission reviewed as a sketch plan at its April meetin . The developers have addressed the generalla out issues suggested by the staff report on the sketch plan. As a concept plan, the proje t still lacks detail required for more complex review. There are, however, a few outstan ing issues which should be highlighted prior to Development Stage PUD review. First, the project will have to provide a buffe yard along the north boundary adjacent to the Ruff Auto property. From the aerial phot ,it appears that just under half of the common boundary is utilized by Ruff Auto for its sa vage operation. The remainder is vacant land. According to the Zoning Ordinance, where developing parcel abuts another parcel which is less than 50% developed, based on . ear footage of common boundary, the new development is required to provide half of t e buffer yard on its side of the boundary. The other half will be required of the other proper y owner at the time of expansion or significant alteration. For Residential to Industrial buffer yards, t e requirements are as follows: Building Setback: 50 feet Landscaped Yard: 40 feet Plant units/IOO ft.: 160 These latter two standards would be hal d for this project, subject to a survey which establishes the length of the common boun ary, and the limits of use on the Ruff Auto side of the property line. A five foot high berm r opaque fence may be credited toward half of the number of plants required of this pro jec . Given the severe aesthetic issues which may impact the residential neighborhood, we would recommend a requirement for a full berm ith plantings which would help screen the view of the industrial use. The auto salvage use 'tself already has a fence for security purposes. C:\SANDYlWORD\AGENDA\ST ARCIT2.PC 12 . . . Planning Commission Agenda -5/05/98 The second issue raised by this project is the roposal for a private road, rather than a public street, serving the 60 units. The developer has altered the design from the sketch plan to provide a more grid-like street pattern. T e City should identify issues surrounding the consideration of a private street serving this number of units. Long term maintenance may be one concern, due to the cost of reconstr ction of such an extensive private street plan. One method of addressing this issue would be to require the homeowner's association to capitalize a reconstruction fund to be avail ble at the time that the useful life of the street would be expended. Separate from the design issues of the plat as proposed will be the consideration for Park Dedication requirements for this area. e Park Commission has been working on a Comprehensive Park Plan which identifies this general area west of the downtown as a neighborhood park search area. For some irne, the City has been envisioning that such a neighborhood park might be made a part of t e city-owned property at Outlot A of Country Club Manor. This area is directly west of t 's site along 7th Street. In addition, the Civic Center project will be located a few blocks e st of this site, although those recreational uses would be different in nature from traditiona park and open space areas. The Park Commission should make a spec' c recommendation as to the appropriateness of a land or cash dedication requirement from t is parcel. Land could serve the area, however, the dedication requirement for this parcel w uld be just over one acre, whereas two acres is generally the lower threshold size. Cash don tion from this development could be applied to the City's reservation of land at the Country lub Manor site to either increase its proposed size, or fund some near-term improvements Finally, a pathway connection should be pI nned through this property. Options include a pathway along the boundary line with Ru Auto, a sidewalk through the internal street system, or a sidewalk/pathway along 7th treet. For purposes of linkage, the 7th Street option may be the most appropriate. Again the Park Commission should review this issue at its upcoming meeting. There remain a few design issues which s ould be addressed at the Development Stage submission request. These involve the a ount of pavement shown for driveway access, particularly on the west side ofthe project. t point A on the site plan, the street is widened to provide additional frontage for two four- nit townhouse clusters. This results in a width of over 120 feet of uninterrupted paverne at one point, and creates a very short turning movement for the units which are not pe endicular to the street. It may be possible to narrow the street width in the project from the 40+ feet shown to 30 feet, or possibly even less. In addition, a landscaped island in th triangular pavement area would break up the expanse. In the circular area, point B on the site plan, the street is so wide as to allow unchannelled traffic around the circle. Ag in, narrowing the pavement area would better channel traffic, and provide needed turning adius at the intersection. C:\SANDY\WORD\AGENDA\ST ARCIT2.PC 13 . . . B.

Planning Commission Agenda -5/05/98 Mr. Michael Cyr of Front Porch Associates s requested PUD and Preliminary Plat approval for a seven unit townhouse project to be k own as "Ehn Street Crossing". The project is located at the intersection of Ehn and 5th treets in a PZM Zoning District. This district allows residential projects, including PUDs by Conditional Use Permit. This project was originally designed as now proposed, but was rought to the Planning Commission as a larger project at the encouragement of City staff. hat larger project included some required land acquisition and City financial participation. ust prior to the Planning Commission's review in April, the HRA decided not to provide the financial assistance. As a result, the developer is requesting both Concept Stage and DeveI pment Stage PUD approvals concurrently. However, it has now been discovered that a p rtion of the land which the developer intended to purchase was previously sold to an adjac nt owner to supply needed minimum land area for other housing. That portion consists of small rectangle of property behind unit 3 (see site plan). Therefore, the development will n t be able to provide access to most of the units, since the exception area is needed as a driv way. We have provided a revision to the plan which would accommodate the seven units n the smaller amount of land. This plan squeezes the buildings together t create an additional driveway, both driveways to 5th Street being shown at 12 feet in width as opposed to 20 feet. Units 4 and 5 would be 9 feet apart (6 feet at the eave line), instea of the proposed 11 feet, and Unit 7 would be placed at the 10 foot setback instead of 11. feet as proposed. Finally, Units 1, 2, 3 and 7 would all be "side entry" garages, while uni s 4, 5 and 6 would be back entry garages. The arrows on the revised plan indicate garage oor locations. One other option has been discussed. That ould be to acquire a driveway easement across the lot adjacent to Vine Street (Lot 6 of the riginal plat). The owner of this lot is the seller of the land to the developer and could pos ibly provide the easement as a part of the sale. One concern related to the easement, how ver, would be that it would effectively limit the lot size applicable to the existing single family home. Moreover, it would have to be included in the PUD. This would require renof lcation, since that parcel was not originally contemplated with this project. With regard to density in the plat, the loss of he exception area puts the project right at eight units per acre. This is the maximum density or mid-density development. While there is no stated density maximum for the PZM Dist ict (this district would accommodate R - 3 type development), the density does indicate an in ense use of land in relation to the unit type. Of C :\SANDY\WORD\AGENDA\FT -PRCH2.PC 15 . . . Planning Commission Agenda -5/05/98 note in this project would be that there is very little green space to the rear of the units, relying instead on the "front porch" and fro t yard spaces for open space. Many developments of this density compe sate for the lack of private green or open space by attaching more units together. Bye' . ating side yards, more open space can be combined in usable sizes. Due to the unit tyle and the need to provide side windows, this is not possible for thill project. To acCOI1lITK) ate this unit design on the land as proposed, we would encourage an intensively landscaped roject, particularly in the rear yards which will be used primarily for automobile access and parking. No landscape plan has been provided with this proposal, as commonly required or Development Stage PUDs. Any approvals should be contingent upon a submission of plan acceptable to staff. A final issue involves park dedication re irements. The City should decide on a park dedication policy for development such as this which replat existing land to accommodate more dwelling units than originally planne . In this case, three additional units are shown beyond the original four lot plat area. On the assumption that park planning was based on the four lot development, the three new uni s would increase park demand, justifying an additional dedication requirement. It is likel that a fee in lieu of land would be appropriate. The Park Commission should review this is 'ue. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS Decision 1: 1. Motion to approve the Concept S age Planned Unit Development for Elm Street Crossing. 2. Motion to deny the Concept Sta e Planned Unit Development for Elm Street Crossing. Decision 2: 1. Motion to approve the Development tage PUD for Elm Street Crossing, contingent upon compliance with the conditio s listed in Exhibit Y. 2. Motion to deny the Development Sage PUD for Elm Street Crossing. 3. Motion to table action on the De elopment Stage PUD for Elm Street Crossing, pending resolution of the property e issue and redesign of the project. C :\SANDYlWORD\AGENDA\FT-PRCH2.PC 16 . . . Decision 3: Planning Commission Agenda -5/05/98 1. Motion to approve the Preliminary lat for Elm Street Crossing, contingent upon compliance with the conditions liste in Exhibit Z. 2. Motion to deny the Preliminary Plat or Elm Street Crossing. 3. Motion to table action on the Pre' . ary Plat for Elm Street Crossing, pending finalization of the property to be inc ded in the project. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the Concep and Development Stages of the Planned Unit Developrn:nt, as well as the Preliminary Plat, ontingent upon the conditions listed in Exhibit Y (PUD Conditions) and Exhibit Z (Prelimin y Plat Conditions). If the developer wishes to acquire other land, this project and Public Haring would have be re-noticed, and new plans would have to be prepared for review. Altho gh there are typically additional plans required for this stage of approval, we believe the co ditions as proposed, as well as the fact that the area is already developed with public improv rn:nts, limit the City's exposure to engineering problems. The primary concern is with e lack of landscaping plans for the project, particularly in light of the density. PIa ning Commission should only approve the Developrn:nt Stage PUD if it is comfortable aving staff review the landscape plan at a later date. Staff recommends intensive landsca ing throughout the plat, with an emphasis on providing screening of the automobile spac s behind the buildings. D.

Exhibit C :\SANDYlWORD\AGENDA\FT-PRCH2.PC - Conditions of Approval 10'~ Planning Commission Agenda -5/05/98 . 11. Rink.. (NAC) Russ and Paula Adamski have requested Zoning Ordinance text amendment to allow outdoor go-cart tracks as a conditional use w thin the 1-1, Light Industrial District. This use is currently only allowed by CUP in the B-3, ighway Business District. The purpose of the request is to accommodate an expansion 0 the applicant's existing roller rink amusement area, located at the southeast corner of Coun Road 117 and Thomas Park Drive (zoned 1-1 District), to include an outdoor go-cart tra k. As such, the applicants are also requesting approval of a CUP for an outdoor go-cart track. However, any action on this request is contingent upon the City taking one of t ee alternative actions to allow this use on the subject property, 1. Zoning Ordinance Amendment . The applicants are requesting an a ndment to the Zoning Ordinance so that an outdoor go-cart track can be develo ed on their property, which is currently zoned I -1 District. The applicants have re uested that outdoor go-cart tracks be made a conditional use in the 1-1 District, su 'ect to the same conditions as provided for this use in the B-3 District. A:rrending the Ordinance to allow outdoor go-carts in the I-I District increases the opportunity t establish uses within the 1-1 District that are more commercial in nature than indus rial. Therefore, the proposed amendment may be considered inconsistent with the urpose of the I-I District and Comprehensive Plan. A second option to accommodate t e applicant's request is to amend Section 15B- 4[Dl of the Zoning Ordinance " sement places (such as roller rinks and dance halls) and bowling alleys" as a co ditional use within the 1-1 District to include outdoor go-cart tracks. This opti n however is problematic in that "amusement places" as currently defined relates t indoor type uses. Outdoor uses, including go- cart tracks, raise different compatib"ty issues such as screening, noise, lighting, etc. Combining indoor and outdoor recre tional uses under the same conditional use may result in problems ensuring that co patibility issues of potential uses is adequately addressed. . Finally, a third option to consider i a rezoning of the applicant's property to B-3, Highway Business District. The land to the west of County Road 117 are zoned B- 3, therefore spot zoning would not an issue with this action. While the B-3 District C:\SANDY\WORD\AGENDA\GO~CART.PC 18 . . . Planning Commission Agenda -5/05/98 allows outdoor go-cart tracks as a co ditional use, the applicant's existing roller rink is not a conditional or permitted use' the B-3 District. As such, an amendment to allow amusement areas as a separat conditional use in the B-3 District would be required. From a technical standpo t this option is more appropriate given the commercial character of the indoor outdoor recreational uses. This option does, however, result in a loss of industria zoned land. 2. Conditional Use Permit - Outdoor G -Cart Track. If the Planning Commission reco nds and the City Council acts favorably on the rezoning io;;sue, consideration of the p oposed development of a go-cart track on the applicant's property may occur. Ass ming that the Zoning Ordinance is amended to allow outdoor go-cart tracks as a con itional use in the 1-1 District or the subject site io;; rezoned to B-3 District, approval 0 a CUP for an outdoor go cart track is subject to the following conditions, as outlin d in Section 13-4[N] of the Zoning Ordinance. A. The proposed use must meet all conditions of Chapter 3, Section 4[A]. Comment: This section re/a es to lot area and building size requirements. There is no minimum lot siz required in the B-3 District and the minimum lot 'Width is 100 feet. The inimum lot size of the /-1 District is 20,000 square feet and the minim m lot 'Width is 100 feet. The subject site is approximately 107,250 squar feet in size and has a 'Width of approximately 225 feet at thefrant setback line. As such, this condition is satisfied. The Conditional Use Permit ill be reviewed yearly to determine whether or not it is compatible with n ighboring properties and in conformance with conditions of the conditional use. B. Comment: This statement '11 be included as part of the recommended conditions of approval. C. A solid six-foot high fence ust be part of the screening required when the adjacent properties are resid ntial. The subject site is surrounded only by commercial and industrial zoned properties. However, to minimize the impacts f noise from the go-cart track to any adjacent properties, and to screen the use om the public right of way a wood fence and landscaping should be provided. The types and quantities of planting materials should be such that a dense planting wall ultimately develops to further buffer the noise impacts of the go-cart track. C :\SANDY\WORD\AGENDA\GO-CART .pc 19 . . . Planning Commission Agenda -5/05/98 D. For dust and noise (70dB at re idential property line) must be controlled at all times to the satisfaction of th City. Comment: The fence and pi ntings discussed above should be adequate to address noise issues. Howev r, beyond the noise of the go-carts, in no case should any type of outdoor p blic address system be utilized on the subject site. The submitted plans do not indicate the surface of the proposed go-cart track. To control dust, the o-cart track will be required to be concrete or bituminous surfaced. E. The provisions of Chapte 22 of this Ordinance are considered and satisfactorily met. Comment: Section 22 of the proposed use and complianc The subject site is in a locatio land uses. ning Ordinance addresses compatibility of the with Comprehensive Plan goals and policies. to avoid compatibility conflicts with adjacent Parking. The existing parking lot is bitu . ous surfaced and striped. However, submitted plans do not indicate the number of stalls ithin the parking lot. Staff has estimated the capacity of the parking lot to be at least 70 salls, based upon the minimum design standards within the Zoning Ordinance. With the num r of stalls to be provided, at least two must be designated disability accessible with a 7 foo access strip in between for van accessability. The Zoning Ordinance requires one space r 40 square feet of building area for roller rink uses. Based upon this requirements and a b ilding size of 11,700 square feet, a total of 294 parking stalls would be required for the ro r rink use alone. However, ITE data suggests that the actual parking demand for the ro r rink, based upon building size is actually 46 stalls. As such, 24 stalls would remain for t e go-cart track use. At least on an initial basis, this number appears appropriate. There is a ditional site area indicated on the site plan as a proposed mini-golf area that could be dev loped as parking, if demand is found to exceed supply. A condition of approval will be that he applicant must improve the existing parking lot to provide at least 70 parking stalls, tw of which must be disability accessible. Mini-Golf Area. As noted above, the subrni ted site plan indicates a proposed miniature golf area. Development of this use on the subje t site would require the applicant to request an CUP amendment. Whether the miniature olf use would be allowed would be dependent upon conformance with Zoning Ordinance rovisions, particularly parking. C:\SANDY\W ORD\AGENDA\GO-CART.PC 20 . . . Planning Commission Agenda -5/05/98 Lighting. The submitted site plan does not in icate if any exterior lighting is proposed to be utilized to illuminate the go-cart track. The ap licant should revise the site plan to specify the location of any and all exterior site lighting. dditionally, the applicant must provide details regarding any proposed light fixtures, indud' g photometric plans. All site lighting must be subject to review and approval of the City C uncil. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS Decision 1: Amendment to allow Outdoo Go-Cart track use on subject site: Alternative 1.

Planning Commission Agenda - 4/07/98 A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROU D: Residential Development, Inc, has req ested preliminary plat approval of a 27 lot single family residential development ti led River Mill 4th Addition. The proposed subdivision overlays a 14.51 acre par el south of County Road 39 and north of Interstate 94 currently platted as Outlo B of River Mill 3rd Addition. The subject parcel is zoned R-1, Single Family Res dential. Streets Layout. The proposed street layout i generally acceptable. One issue is the intersection of Mill Trail Drive and Mill Trail Lane. The applicant is proposing to replat River Mill 3rd Addition to change Mill Trail Lane/Mill Trail Drive from a loop street and make Mill Trail lane extend a a through street across the River Mill 4th Addition (Exhibit C). Mill Trail Drive ould intersect at a "T" with Mill Trail Lane. The proposed street layout results in ann-linear alignment of Mill Trail Lane. Staff recommends that the original layout of Mill Trail Lane/Mill Trail Drive within River Mill 3rd Addition be maintained and th t Mill Trail Lane be extended to River Mill 4th Addition from a 90 degree intersecti n between Lot 5, Block 4 of River Mill 3rd Addition and Lot 6, Block 2 of River Mi 14th Addition. Half Street. The applicant is proposing to plat a half street 30 foot right-of-way on the east edge of the subject plat. The pr posed half street provides access to Lots 13-17 of Block 2. The right-of-way for the other half of the street would not be dedicated until such time as the propert to the east is subdivided and developed. As only 30 feet of right-of-way is a ailable, a public street designed to City standards. cannot be provided. Staff r commends that the proposed half right-of- way be platted as an outlot and Lots 3-17, Block 2 also be platted as a second outlot as access cannot be provided at t is time. At such time as the property to the east of this plat is subdivided and devel ped, the east half of the public right-of-way will be required to be dedicated and a p blic street constructed. The outlot area of proposed Lots 13-17, Block 2 could th n be subdivided and developed. The construction of this future street w uld be dependent upon the cooperation of two separate owners. If for whatever reason, the property owners cannot work together to construct the street, tbe Ci y may be compelled to undertake a public improvement and assess adjacent pro erty owners to complete the street. C ;\SANDYlWORD\AGENDA\RIVMILL.PCA ,o/~ . . . Planning Commission Agenda - 4/07/98 Right-of-wav. As required by Ordinanc ,the proper right-of-way width of 60 feet has been provided, except as discusse above. Access. Access into the proposed sub ivision will be via Mill Trail Lane to River Mill Drive, which connects to Riverview rive/County Highway 39. It is anticipated that there will be a future secondary ccess to County Road 39 to the east as adjacent parcels are developed. Blocks. Section 11-5-1 (A) of the Subd vision Ordinance establishes a maximum block length of 1,320 feet. The propo ed subdivision layout conforms with this requirement. The Subdivision Ordina ce also suggests lot widths sufficient to accommodate two tiers of lots. The prop sed blocks conform with this provision as well. LotS. The lots of River Mill 4th Addition II conform to the minimum lot area and lot width requirements of the R-1 District: Lot Area 12,0 0 square feet Lot Width: 80 fe t Further, all of the proposed lots emonstrate sufficient building area in consideration of R-1 District setback re uirements: Front Yard 30 fe t Side Yard (Interior) 10 fe t (Street) 20 fe t Rear Yard 30 fe t Parks Dedication. Section 11-6-1 of the subdivision requires a minimum 10% area of the gross final plat be dedicated 0 the City for development of parks, open space and trails. The applicant is proposing to dedicate 3.78 acres (26.51 % of gross area) designated as Outlot A n the plat to the City. Park dedication requirements for this development h ve already been satisfied. As such, the dedication of Outlot A is over and abov dedication requirements. Acceptance of the dedication of Outlot A requires app oval of the City Council. Sidewalks/Pathways. Section 11-7-2 ( ) of the Subdivision Ordinance stipulates that the City Council may require sta dard design sidewalks. Outlot A abuts a significantly sized park to the northw st and is adjacent to Mill Trail Lane. As access to the park is available acro s Outlot A, no additional pathways are anticipated to be necessary.

Planning Commission Agenda - 5/05/98 The City's Comprehensive Plan includes la d use planning for areas south and west of the current City boundaries. As you may recall, a significant concept of the Comprehensive Plan is to direct future growth to the south and west of the City by investing in infrastructure improvements which would serve growth in that direction rather than to the east. Over the past several months, staff has conducted a more detailed study of the issues which would affect land use patterns in that area, including transportation, utility corridors, physical lay of the land, existing land uses, and goals and po cies from the current plan. A concept land use plan was developed with these i'isues in mind nd has been discussed at staff level, with other City organizations, and at a public open ho se. The purpose of the plan ~ndment is to allo the City to plan for both long- and short-term infrastructure improvements which would needed to serve the area. Although the plan would have no legal effect as things now stand, a component of the proposed Orderly Annexation Area agreement with Montice 0 Township would include the adoption of the City's land use plan in the revised OAA. As a result, the City's Comprehensive Plan and its component "South/West Area Plan" woul form the basis for any land use decision in the OAA, preserving the various properties fo the City's long-term intended use. This OM agreement has been approved by both parti s and adopted by the Municipal Board. The Land Use Plan for the area is importan for the City. It could serve as the basis for the City's request of the OAA Board for an ~ dment to its land use plan. Even as information for that Board, and the Board's administra or (County Planner Tom Salkowski), the Land Use Plan will provide important guidance fo land use decisions in the extra-territorial areas adjacent to the City. Finally, it can provide irection for future development of land in those areas when land owners are seeking annex tion. This proposed amendment has been mod' ed slightly from its original draft to reflect two changes. First, following input from a new andowner near the intersection of County Road 39 and the proposed extension of Chelsea oad, and area of "future study" is shown which contemplates the expansion of the prop sed industrial area to the south of the utility easement. The text has also been modified t emphasize that this is a guide plan, not a zoning ordinance. As such, it is intended to ill strate a pattern of land use and the necessary transportation routes, not specific district lin s. It is expected that, as specific conditions are encountered by particular developers, the xact location of the lines will need to be flexible to accommodate conditions at the time. C:\SANDY\W ORD\AGENDA\SW -AREA. PC 26 . . . B. AIJTERNATIVE ACTIONS Planning Commission Agenda - 5/05/98 1. Motion to recommend approval of t e amendments to the Comprehensive Plan as proposed in the "South/West Area Pan", 2. Motion to defer amendment of th Comprehensive Plan at this time, pending additional discussion and/or inforrnat' on. C. ST AFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the Compre nsive Plan amendment for the south and west growth areas. We believe that this plan st reflects the policies and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan, and City's future gr wth. The plan permits the City to grow in a manageable fashion, and allows for the logi aI, incremental extensions of infrastructure to accommodate the natural growth and develop ent of the community. Moreover, it provides clear guidance for development proposals in the extra-territorial area. This guidance is important both to direct land use in areas scheduled for future annexation, and to direct development proposals from land owners s eking annexation to the City. D. SUPPORTING DATA Exhibit A - South/West Area Land Use PI C :\SANDY\WORD\AGENDA\SW ~AREA.PC 27 . . . SOUTH/WEST AREA LAND USE PLAN BACKGROUND The City's 1996 Comprehensive Plan includes a land use plan which reflects the various goals and policies of the City. Included in the land use plan element is a specific plan and discussion of the City's southwest area (within orderly annexation area). The southwest area of Monticello overlays that portion of the City lying south of Interstate 94 and west of TH 25. Generally speaking, the area is characterized by farmlands and wetlands. Some pockets of rural residential development have been established, particularly to the west. As noted in the Comprehensive Plan, incremental growth in this area is encouraged both for financial and social reasons. This amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan is intended to build on the foundation established in the 1996 Plan. The plan amendment itself identifies conceptual street layouts, including westerly extensions of Chelsea Road and School Boulevard. While the Comprehensive Plan provides generalized street and land use depictions, a refinement of the plan taking into account more detailed information (Le., wetland boundaries, power line locations, soil conditions, etc.) is . necessary to achieve eventual plan implementation. SouthlWest Area Land Use Plan Page I As guide plan, this amendment is intended to provide an outline of City expectations for future growth into the Monticello Orderly Annexation Area. To the extent that the Orderly Annexation Area Board will be managing land use in the MOAA until annexation to the City, it is hoped that this plan will provide a framework for the activities of the Board. The preservation of the MOAA lands during the interim period between now and the time of annexation and development has been the stated objective of the MOAA. LAND USE PLAN Design Parameters. A variety of area features serve to influence the street and land use depicted upon the refined southwest area land use plan. These include Interstate 94 visibility and accessibility, existing and planned interchange locations (accessibility), existing land uses, property lines, and street patterns, wetland and drainageway locations and finally overhead power line routes. Although this land use study pays more attention to local factors than the 1996 Comprehensive Plan, there are still issues which will affect the land use pattern which ultimately develops. Wetland delineations, Monticello Comprehensive Plan Amendment - 1998 14'\ . utility feasibility, pacing of development, and land owner preferences will all play into the development of the south and west extra- territorial areas. As a result of additional study, and other unforeseen factors, it is expected that the final development pattern will vary somewhat from this guide plan. Rather than an attempt to create a strict "zoning" scheme, this plan intends to layout a pattern of development in the extraterritorial areas for the purposes of infrastructure planning, and to provide a general guide for land owners and developers as to future land use expectations. The precise line of land use change, however, may move slightly one way or another. . Street System. As shown on the land use plan, a major collector street has been proposed which would parallel Interstate 94. The street also follows an existing overhead power line route. The collector street would serve to link a future interchange at County Road 75 (120th Street) with the existing interchange at Highway 25 and would provide connection to existing Chelsea Road. In addition to the Chelsea Road extension, a westerly extension of School Boulevard has also been proposed. This extension would link 90th Street and Highway 25. The land use plan anticipates a future interchange at County Road 75 (120th Street) and Interstate 94. It is envisioned that the interchange would be utilized by the majority truck traffic associated with industrial uses in the vicinity. . SouthlWest Area Land Use Plan Page 2 LAND USE Low Density Residential. As shown on the attached land use plan, a substantial portion of the study area is shown as low density residential use. It is anticipated that single family growth in this area will be comprised of residents who have few natural ties to the community. The area's street system (and arrangement of land uses) is such that area residents will be "funneled" into Monticello's commercial areas by virtue of their routine use of Highway 25 and/or County Road 39. To the extent possible, low density residential uses have been located or oriented such that the incompatibilities with higher intensity uses will be minimized. Specifically, features such as wetlands, power lines and transitional uses have been used to mitigate adverse impacts. The majority of the lands south of the current City boundaries (generally the north halves of Sections 22,23, and 24) are also programmed for low density residential land use. It is expected that this will consist of single family development, with a possibility of limited twin-home or low-density townhome development mixed in. Mid-Density Residential. In addition to low density residential uses, mid-density residential uses have been proposed within the study area. Specifically, these uses are proposed along the School Boulevard extension east of 90th Street. Mid density residential uses overlay approximately 90 acres of land and are expected to have densities of generally 4 to 8 dwelling units per acre. This translates into over 500 Monticello Comprehensive Plan Amendment - 1998 '&l-~ . medium density units within the study area. Commercial. As shown on the land use plan, commercial development has been proposed directly south of Interstate 94 and west of Highway 25. This use designation is intended to reinforce Highway 25 as a commercial service corridor of the community and supplement the downtown commercial area. It should be noted that immediate "infilling" of the 173 acres of commercially designated lands is not anticipated. In fact, it is the intent of the plan to designate "long term" locations for commercial development and confine such uses to the Interstate 94fHighway 25 interchange area, and the Highway 25 corridor south of the Interstate. . There has been some discussion of extending commercial uses to the west along the freeway frontage. However, this plan attempts to follow the direction of the 1996 Comprehensive Plan in preserving commercial land for the development of locally oriented retail and service uses as opposed to purely freeway oriented commerce. Too many of the highway oriented uses would compete with downtown revitalization efforts, particularly in the areas of food and lodging. As a result, the commercial areas shown are intended to encourage a long term supply of general/regional business locations. Industrial. The industrial land use designations shown on the land use plan are intended to take advantage of visibility associated with the interstate corridor and coincide with the future construction of a west Monticello interchange at 1-94 and . South/West Area Land Use Plan Page 3 County Road 75fOrchard Road. Industrial uses have purposely been guided in the northern portion of the study area to avoid the interspersement of industrial truck traffic with residential/commercial traffic at the 1- 94fHighway 25 interchange area. In total, the land use plan designates approximately 310 acres of land as industrial use. An area of industrial land use is planned for the freeway frontage just west of 90th Street along the westerly extension of Chelsea Road. This area would be quickly accessible due to the location of streets and utilities. Until the street connections and the Orchard Road interchange are completed, this area would add industrial traffic to the 1-94fTH 25 area. It is anticipated that the improvements along TH 25, and the signal at Chelsea Road, will help to manage the impacts of this traffic until the west interchange is a reality. There is also an area of potential industrial use south of County 39 and the confluence of two major power line corridors. This area is shown in the low density residential land use category, with an overlining intended to designate this area for future study. The ultimate land use of this area should be evaluated more specifically based on localized conditions and market forces. Whereas the Chelsea Road extension provides the primary land use division in this area, it may be appropriate to allow industrial uses to encroach south of this corridor at that point. Finally, although not shown graphically, this plan anticipates an industrial designation for all areas to the west/northwest of the Orchard Road 1-94 overpass area. To best take MonticeUo Comprehensive Plan Amendment - 1998 ,~...~ . advantage of the benefits of an interchange at this location, preservation of these areas for industrial use is an objective of this plan. It is acknowledged that both the interchange and the active development of these areas are long-term goals. Planning for the future use of these lands is intended to avoid conflicts between current uses during the interim period until annexation and development. . Public/Semi-Public. The land use plan illustrates a large area of park and open space between 90th Street and Highway 25. Of the approximately 100 acres, about 60 acres is wetland. Aside from the obvious active (Le., ball fields) and passive (walking trails) recreational opportunities offered by the park, the use is intended to serve as a unifying element for abutting low density residential, mid-density residential and commercial land uses. The park has been located such to provide a visual connection from Highway 25, a transition from uses of differing intensity, and finally to provide direct active recreational opportunities to abutting residential uses. It is anticipated that the more active spaces will be able to utilize power line corridor as parking area, with athletic fields flanking the parking. The more passive areas would be located around the ponds and wetlands, with pathway connections to the Chelsea Road and School Boulevard areas. Moreover, the final delineation of parkland boundaries will be dependant upon development needs and design in the immediate area, as well as public use needs. It may be appropriate to protect the edges of . South/West Area Land Use Plan Page 4 the pond areas for public use, allowing greater encroachment of private development than is shown on the plan. More detailed design study will be necessary in this area as development opportunities are brought forward. Also to be noted is the existing Cemetery located along 90th Street and the proposed Chelsea Road extension. The cemetery's proximity to adjacent low density residential, commercial and industrial uses allows it to serve as a highly visible "green area" (due to street corner location) which will provide visual relief to the area.
