Change Orders: \'" , ' I çh~ge Order 1 -Overhe~d Door Gauge: Wick stated that the doors on the overhead doors are currently pro osed to be a 20 gaugE! door and they can be reduced to a26 gauge. The cost deduction to change , 'the hckness ofthe steel ~kin on the ten (10) overhead doors from 20-gauge to 26-gauge is $1,620. I chahge Order 2 - ExteriO~FiniSh: Wick reported the project manager for the project is requesting, the City to consider changing the exterior finish of the building. The project manager had the opportunityto wor ,on a building that had similar material and the building was only seven years old. During the I I rem deling some of the wood had deteriorated due to moisture. Therefore, the project manager enc urages the City to instbll Y:t 5~ply CDX plywood in lieu of Yz" OSS wall sheathing for the exterior face of th exterior wall panels.IThe costalso includes one (1) layer of ice and water guard installed along the , curb wall (246 feèt) and 15# building felt on top of all exterior sheathing. The request is to reduce any risk I of p "tential water damage ~o the sheathing and condensation problems that may occur. The change orde will resultin an incre~se in the contractprice of approximately $ 2,539. I , I Ras~ier questioned if change order one was a result of change order two. He further stated that it is his opinipn and experiencetha~ the overhead doors should remain at a 20 gauge door. Reducing the skin of ' the door to 26 gauge can IEiad to increased incidents of damage. Wick responded that he is aware of the fundr limitations of the City and reducing the gauge of the doors was a cost saving venture. However. I he d es not believe the Cit~ will be compromising quality by doing such. If the garage doors are going to be d maged at 26 gauge t~ey will also be damaged at 20 gauge.

I ~oard requIre projects exceedmg certain thresholds to go through an envIronmental reVIew process vrinnesota Rules Chapter 4410.00 to 4410.7900). The proposed A,rcon Saint Joseph Development is of a magnitude that the AUAR (Alternative Urban Areawide Review) process would be appropriate for the I p~ I operty. Westwood PrOfessional Services. Inc. has been retained by Arcon Developn1ent Co. 10 assist in 1e preparation of an AT.JAR for the site., , ' i ¡ , , . AUAR is ,an alternative form of environmental review that is more detailed than anEA W ' , ' nvironmental Assessntent Worksheets) but is less detailed than an EIS (Environmental Impact I. S _ent). The AUAR,allows for a more geographic area approach _er thanjust a development wide , a proach. The AUAR also allows more than one development scenario to be investigated.

" , The goal of Westwood Professional Servic~s, Inc. is to prepare thisAUAR by working closely with personal from the City of Saint Joseph. This allows the city to make comments and give input ' I throughout the ADAR process, instead ofbeìng able to offer comments on thefniished AUAR. By working closely with city personal Westwood Professional Services, Inc. will ensure that the fmished AUAR document is one that the City of Saint Joseph is comfortable certifying and is in line with the City I of Saint Josephs goals for development of the property. Westwood Professional Services, Inc. reèommends the City of Saint Joseph create an executive staff of two or three people to review and oversee the ADAR process and advise Westwood Professional Services, Inc. on the cities position on I issues raised ìn the AUAR. The executive committee would be able to report tothe Planning Commission and the City Council on the status of the ADAR and any issues the AUARraises. PROCESS I The purpose of this section is to explain the thresholds and relevance of the environmental review I processes that would be undertaken for the Arcon Property development, The three processes available are: 1. Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EA W); I 2. Alternative Urban Areawide Assessment (ADAR), and 3. Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) Process,Comparison ' _I An ADAR is an environmentlil impact assessment document and governmental review process that I substitutes for either an EA W or an EIS. An AUAR follows the fonnat of an EA W, but with a level of analysis comparable to an EIS. The AUAR process requires more time and money than an EAW, but it is more ,expedient and cost effective than an EIS; The EA W process includes one document, the AUAR I process includes one to three documents, and the EIS process ìncludes three documents. All documents are distributed for review and comment by several agencies. When one or more metropolitan development projects surpass an EIS threshold, Westwood advocates use of an ADAR (Alternative I Urban Areawide Review) as a substitute for an EIS. Thresholds I An EA W is mandatory for any residential development that involves at least 100 unattached or 150 attached units in a city withìn areas outside of the seven-county metro area that has a Comprehensive I Plan approved by the City Council (Minnesota Rules Part 4410.4300, Subp. 19.D) that has not been certified by the EQB. An EIS is mandatory for development of at least400 unattached residential or 600 attached residential units in a city outside the seven-county metro area that has a Comprehensive I Plan approved by the City Council (Minnesota Rules Part 4410.4400, Subp. 14.D) that has not been certified by the EQB. An AUAR functions as a substitute for either an EA W or an EIS. An EA W is mandatory for any residential development that involves at least 250 unattached or 375 I attached units in a city within areas outside of the seven-county metro area that has a -. Comprehensive Plan approved by the City Council (Minnesota Rules Part 4410.4300, Subp. 19.D) that has been certified by the EQB. An EIS is mandatory for development of at least 1,000 unattached Westwood Professional Services,lnc. I .

The I ~ step is the City of,Saînt Joseph must send a letter to the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board I QB) stating their intent to conduct an AUAR and certifying that they have an adequate Comprehensive I ,Ian in place to coñdu~t an AU~. The second task is that the Saint Joseph City Council mu~t pass a J!esolution"ordering" an AUAR be conducted for the development. Once both of these tasks are ompleted, the fOllowilIg tasks will be carried outto complete the AUAR. ' , I' . ',' I COPE OF WORK I i I ¡aSk 1 - Alternative: Concept Plan Development ~e AUAR will address two Concept Plan development scenarios.

I Alternative Urban Areawide Review- Overview, Approach, and Process Page" 4 Task 4- Draft AUAR Distribution and Notice ,I -. Westwood will prepare approximately 40 copies of the Draft AUAR and Mitigation Plan for4istribution. The AUARwill be distributed to all agencies included in the Enviroinnenta1Quality Board's (EQB's) distribution list and any member of the public who requests a copy. Westwood will also coordinate with I, ,the City to ensure that the AUAR abstract is submitted for publication in the EQB Monitor and a Public Notice is submitted for publication in a local newspaper. Task 5 - Final AUAR and Mitigation Preparation, Distribution, and Notice I Upon receipt of comments on the Draft AUAR from the City of Saint Joseph, Westwood will revise the I AUAR to rèspond to cOnunentS and specify mitigation measures to be iÍnposed on future development. This Final AUAR and Mitigation Plan will describe how each mitigation measure witlbe implemented ,and discuss the involvement of agencies where appropriate; Upon receipt of comments on this document I from the City, Westwood will revise the document as necessary and obtain the necessary signatures. The Final AUAR and Mitigation Plan will be distributed and noticed in the same manner as the Draft AUAR. A ten-day comment period will be allowed to receiveagency,and public comments.

I Chronology of Madison Park· PURD Page 1 of 1 I .- date Madison Park PURD: Weyrens stated that M~dison Park is in the process of re-designing the reliminary plat based on information received at the pUblic hearing. The developers have scheduled a I eeting with the City E,ngin~er and it is anticipatèd that the plat will be presented at the February 25, . 003 special Planning commission Meeting. ihe Commission qUeS~iOned the wetland permitting process and when the permit is required. Weyrens I ~tated that in 1992 the City requested that all wetland issues be managed by stearns County tVironmental Services. The city did not have the staff or the time to be current on wetland issues. I hen a developer app~oaches the City to develop an area that contains a wetland, it is the responsibility I ~f the developer to secure the necessary permits. , I te developer of MadiJon Park has not approached Stearns County as of this date. They have stated I ~at they will complete the environmental process once the City has approved the plan. While Stearns ,ounty will review a pla:n after City approval, there is a risk to the developer. When a preliminary plat is approved it cannot be changed without a pUblic hearing and completing the entire platting process again. vyeyrens stated that sh~ has informed the developer Of the risk they are taking with regard to wetland I dilineation and they ar¡ willing to ta~e the risk. . ~eyrens stated developers for Madison Park will need to approach the Park Board and present the I p eliminary plat. The Park Board should make a recommendation to the Planning Commission as to ¡hether or not they will require parkland or a cash contribution to fulfill the parkland dedication fee. : eyrens stated that she will notify the developer when the next Park Board meeting is and request that t ey present the plan a~ discussed. I I. I I 1dison Park PURD: J~ff Schlingman representing Viking Development appeared before the Planning I C mmission to present ~ revised preliminary plat for Madison Park PURD. The revised preliminary plat includes the following; ¡ 1. The outlot requested by the adjoining property owner of ingress/egress to an accessory I building!. 2. Exposure to the wetlands have been limited and the reconfiguration of the plat does not include constructing a road through the wetland area. 3. Schligm:an stated that he appeared before the Park Board to discuss the park dedication I fee. The Park is recommending that the developer be credited in the amount equal to the construction cost of a six foot walking trail throughout the development with the balance of the r~quirement submitted in cash. Schlingman stated that the developer is agreeable I to such.¡ T \ e Planning Commissi~>n discussed the use of a private road in the development and questioned the developer representativ~ if the road could be constructed as a public road; Schlingman stated that due I to;he wetland, the currert configuration would not allow for a 66' right-of-way. Utsch and Schneider st ted that it is their opinIon that as the private road connects to Dale Street, it has the potential of being a h~avily traveled road anq questioned if the developer would consider ,constructing a cul-de-sac on either I eTof the private road. :T"he cul-de-sac would only be temporary until outlot B is developed and the Dale St eet is extended to 88t~ Avenue. Schligman was uncertain as to whether or not a cul-de-spc would be pe¡rmitted and will diSCUSF the matter with the City Engineer. .. The P.lanning Commissiqn stated they would consider this matter further on March 3, 2003 provided the fol oWIng matters are resplved: , I I I . ¡ , I I Chronology of Madison Park· PURD Page 2 of 2 I 1. Drainage: The proposed plat must include the location of the catch basins to assure the property will be drained properly. -. 2. Gas Line: The developer must determine what type of activity can occur within the gas line easement. 3. Copy of the Covenants: The Planning Commission would like to assure that the private roads are maintained and sufficient funds will be available for repair and maintance. I 4. The developer should review the plat and determine the maximum amount of right~of-way that can be provided while still maintaining, a private road. 5. Review whether or not a temporary cul-de-sac can be installed on the private road until outlot B is developed and Dale Street is extended to 88th Avenue. I 6.

Onqe I receive these, I will make the changes to the Ordinance so we will haveitinfina1f~rm before it goes to the City Council. , . At the joint mee#ng between the Planning Commission and City Council regarding the amendment to t~e Zoning, Ordinance, there was a question as to whether the City could ticket vehicles illegally parked on private property. The following is my response to that question; It appbarsthat we will be ,able to change the Ordinance to allow ticketing of inappropriately parked cars on private roadways. 1 FrankJ. RajkowskiO. TheSt.Joseph C¡>rdinance 84.4 states that "No vehicle shall be parked in a manner Gordon H. Hansmeier obstructing a private driveway or private roadway, or on a private driveway or private Frederick L. Grunke roadway, withoo.t the express or clearly implied consent of the ownerofthe private driveway orpri~ate roadway." A vehicle is obstructing a driveway or roadway if the Thomas G.'Jovanoliich" location ofthe parked vehicle: (1) blocks the driveway or Toadway from use by other Paul A. Rajkowski· vehicles; (2) sigþificantly hinders or slows other vehicles attempÜng to pass the parked vehicle; or(3) fÓrces other vehicles to leave the main traveled portion ofthe driveway or Kevin F. Gray I roadway to passl the parked vehicle. Id. Vehicles that obstructprivate driveways or William J. Cashman roadways are subj ect to immediate towing at the owner's expense. Id. i Richard W. Sobalvarro The St.Joseph0rdinances allow the towing of vehicles obstructing private roadways, but Susan M. Dege notticketing.However, municipalities do have the power to regulate traffic and parking LeAnne D, ßartishofski onprivatepropdrty. (See Borchert v. Village ofNortlI Oaks, 117N.W.2d396 (Minn. 1962). Suchreblation is proper when the private roads are generally used by the public Sarah L. Smith withoutreservat~on. (See id.)., If the city would prefer the power to, ticket rather than or Joseph M, Bromeland in addition to thf power to tow vehicles, the ordinances may be changed to allow . .ry J, Haupert ticketing. 1 I , , i "'0' , ,"j"'~"'''' "J ~ >0",'.'"'' .,"'"", m µ~'" '0 '"" Mo" _eo " H",m""', _H lliM, ,,' "'''''''''" paU'IA.
