Mr. Rick Reid has informed me that they will only construct the Pond View Lane extension with-the Cedar CT. cul-de-sac this fall. This means we will install one (1) s1. light at the corner of the intersection of these two streets. The cost for this light is $ 453.00. This is for a 30' wood pole and a 100 watt RPSV cobrahead luminaire. This type of luminaire is different than the existing lights in Pond View, however this cobrahead design is a true s1. light design and provides a much better light pattern. Please return the yellow copy with your payment and we will proceed with construction when applicable. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call. Sincerely, fú,V( Paul Orndorff Operations Engineer - - enc. ~-c.,_. .. /r fortl:VI. ~ h . . . . ~~ Pc MIVl . Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the Planning Commission for the City of st. J os eph met in regular session on Monday, october 7, 1996 at 7:00 p.m. in the st. Joseph City Hall. Members Present: Chair Hub Kl ein. Commissioners Marge Lesnick, Linda Sniezek, Dan Nierengarten, Andy Brixius. Council Liaison Cory Ehlert. Secretary of the Commission Judy Weyrens. , Others Present: Bud Reber, Bob Loso, Mike Deutz, Bill Elfering. Public Hearing - Mike Deutz: Chair Klein opened the hearing at 7:00 p.m. The purpose of the hearing is to consider a request for a thirteen (13) foot variance on the front yard setback, in an R-3 zone, to allow construction of an additional unit to the existing duplex. Zoning Ordinance No. 52 of the st. Joseph Code of Ordinances requires a thirty-five (35) foot front yard setback in an R-3 zone. The property is legally described as : Lot-OOl Block-003 Those parts of lots 1-2-3 & 4 Block-003 Loso's 7th Addition Lying Sw'ly of a line 75' SW of Centerl ine of East ~- . . Bound Hwy #75; and Lot-007 Block-002 Loso's 7th Addition Lots 7 & 8 & E2 of West st vac bet blocks 2 & 3 less Highway Block 2. Mike Deutz spoke on his own behal f. Deutz stated that he has recently purchased the property located at 318 & 320 Old Highway 52, formerly owned by Ted Klein. At this time he would like to tear down the existing garage and construct an additional rental unit which would be attached to the existing structure. He feels that by tearing down the garage, he is eliminating a party location, the garage, in addition to cleaning up the property. Klein questioned if the provided parking off street parking ~rotrudes on to Old Highway 52. Deutz stated that the parking is all on property owned by himself. Bill Elfering stated objection to the proposal and encouraged the Commission to deny the request of Mr. Deutz. Elfering feels that by allowing additional students another nuisance is created. The Council has been meeting with landlords, residents and college students to try and find a solution to the student problems and at the same time the Commission is considering adding additional density to a neighborhood that is already overpopulated. Elfering questioned if that made sense to the Commission. Additionally he feels that the added student rental will decrease the value of their homes. - Bob Loso spoke to the credit of Deutz and stated that to the best - of his knowledge, the City has not had any problems with his rental units and he does not see a problem with his request. Cory Ehlert stated that he sees the addition as an improvement to the neighborhood by tearing down the garage. The City has the .. . .-~ . . opportunity to eliminate a party spot. After considerable discussion, Lesnick made a motion recommending the City Counci 1 approve the thirteen foot variance request on the front yard setback to allow for the construction of and additional rental unit. The variance is recommended based on the following finds: , st. Joseph Code of Ordinances 52.7 subd 2(a): That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applying to the property in question as to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zoning district. The exceptional or extraordinary circumstances must not be the result of actions taken by the petitioner. Finding: The proposed addition will eliminate a party house potential and clean up the property. st. Joseph Code of Ordinances 52.7 subd 2(b): That the literal interpretation of the provisions of this Ordinance would deprive the petitioner of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of this Ordinance. st. Joseph Code of Ordinances 52.7 subd 2(c): That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this Ordinance to other lands in the same district. . st. Joseph Code of Ordinances 52.7 subd 2(d): That the proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, or diminish or impair established property values within the surrounding area, or in any other respect impair the public health, safety or welfare of the residents of the City. st. Joseph Code of Ordinances 52.7 subd 2(e): That the condition or situation of a specific piece of property, or the intended use of said property, for which the variance was sought, is not of so general or recurrent a nature as to make reasonably practicable the formulation of a general regulation for such conditions or a situation. The motion was seconded by Nierengarten. Ayes: Klein, Sniezek, Lesnick, Nierengarten, Ehlert Brixius. Nayes: None. Motion Carried 6:0:0 The hearing was closed at 8:00 p.m. Fence Ordinance: As requested the Commission discussed a proposed revision to the Fence Ordinance as requested by the City Council. The City Attorney presented a draft eliminating the permitting process, materials to be used and the setback sections of the Ordinance. After considerable discussion the Commission stated - that much time was spent before adopting the current fence ordinance and they didn't feel it should be eliminated. Instead - the section dealing with maintenance free fencing should be amended. Therefore, Brixius made a motion to recommend the City Council amend the Fence Ordinance by including language in the .. ~..... ~ ~ .;a> . . , . existing Ordinance that would allow a maintenance free fence to be placed on the property line and requiring such fence to be six inches from the ground. The motion was seconded by Sniezek. Ayes: Klein, Sniezek, Lesnick, Nierengarten, Ehlert Brixius. Nayes: None. Motion Carried 6:0:0 Accessory Bui ldinq: The Commission reviewed a proposed amendment to ~ the Ordinance-pertaining to Accessory Buildings and recommended the Council revise the Ordinance as recommended by the City Attorney to include language for a non-permanent accessory building, allowing such to be constructed on the property line. The motion was seconded by Lesnick. Ayes: Klein, Sniezek, Lesnick, Nierengarten, Ehlert Brixius. Nayes: None. Motion Carried 6:0:0 ¿--. . .. \0- , . . ~ .~ , '4 l' . \ \ , '.

I would recommend that the City take the following approach: . INTER."IET ADDRESS 1. The City create a definition for a "non permanent storage shed" which rajhan@cloudnet.com should be placed at section 52.4, Subd. 67, of the Zoning Ordinance. That provision would read as follows: FRANK J. MIKOIVSKI . t Section 67: Non Permanent Storage Shed. An GORDON H. HANSMEIER accessory building having a maximum floor area of FREDERICK L.

SCHERER of personal property. PAUL~. R41KOIVSKI t KEVIN F. GRAY 2. I would next recommend that the first paragraph of Section 52.13, Subd. 13, WIWAAI J.

That type of building may be placed on the lot line in an R-l or R·2 area pursuant to these proposed changes. In presenting this proposal, I am assuming that the City Council wishes this change to apply only to storage sheds which are not constructed on a permanent foundation and which are less than the maximum size limitations which I have proposed. If I am incorrect in this assumption, then we should be looking at changing the definition of storage sheds to encompass the type of buildings for which the Council wishes to carve out this exception. I am also assuming that it is the City's intent to allow the shed to be placed at the lot line. In other . words, I am assuming that the Council is not necessarily looking at simply a reduction of the setback requirements, but rather eliminating setbacks for this type of building so it may be placed on the property line. This assumption on my part is based upon comments made at the meeting, making note of the fact that the area behind a storage shed simply becomes an additional storage area and potentially an eyesore for the adjacent property owner. After you have had a chance to take this to the Planning Commission and Council, let me know if it is something that can be reduced to a formal amendment for final consideration, passage and publication.

After some conversations following a recent City Council meeting, I reviewed the Ordinance with an eye INTERNET ADDRESS toward simplifying the regulatory process. I believe that a municipality has to guard rajhan@cloudnet.com against the tendency to attempt to regulate every possible area of dispute which may arise between residents of the City. There are many areas in which the City should FRANK f. RAIKOWSKI . t limit its involvement, or in some cases remain completely neutral with respect to disputes involving citizens. For most of those cases, the law provides civil remedies GORDOX H. H.1NSMEIER which the citizen may pursue on its own. FREDERICK L. GRUNKE THOMAS G.

THE GRANT IS COPS MORE 96, AND THE FUNDING IS A V AILABLE, AND TO BE AWARDED IN 1997. THE GRANT APPLICATION NEEDS TO BE SUBMITTED BY OCT 31, 1996 TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS . GRANT. THE GRANT, IF AWARDED PAYS FOR 75 % OF THE COSTS FOR 1 YEAR. I BELIEVE AT THE BUDGET MEETING, WE WERE ALL IN AGREEMENT THAT OUR DEPARTMENT NEEDS SOME CLERICAL HELP. THAT IT IS NOW TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS VERY COST INEFFECTIVE TO PAY MY SALARY AND THE OFFICERS SALARIES FOR MANY OF THE FUNCTIONS WE ARE COLLECTIVELY PREFORMING, IN ADDITION TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, PRIMARILY FOR TRANSCRIPTION. I REALIZE THAT THE FINAL BUDGET IS YET NOT FINAL:ZED OR APPROVED, NOR HAS A POSITION FOR A SECRETARY, OR CLEFn CAL STAFF PERSON BEEN OFFICIALLY REQUESTED OR APPROVED. I WOULD ASK FOR THE COUNCIL TO ALLOCATE OR HAVE AVAILABLE APPROXIMATELY 5,90Ø.0Ø IN LOCAL MATCH FUNDS IN TH2 EVENT WE OBTAIN THE GRANT FUNDING.

EC'X.A.1¡(».'J1" CLo.¡TE_'\ OF CE'mUl il~';'itsOu. (612) 363-8250 EMERGENCY 911 1 TO: SAINT JOSEPH CITY COUNCIL FROM: OFFICER DEAN CICHY , IN CASE SOME OF YOU DO NOT KNOW, I HAVE BEEN APPOINTED BY CHIEF LINDGREN AS THE OFFICER IN CHARGE OF THE POLICE RESERVE PROGRAM. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE RESERVE PROGRAM BUDGET CONSISTS OF A GENEROUS ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS PER YEAR. THAT MONEY HAS COME IN VERY HANDY FOR THE PURCHASE OF UNIFORMS AND EQUIPMENT OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. THE FOUR RESERVE OFFICERS WE CURRENTLY HAVE ON OUR STAFF ARE DEDICATED TO THEIR POSITIONS. THE RESERVE OFFICERS HAVE HELPED THIS POLICE DEPARTMENT CONSIDERABLY. IN MANY INSTANCES, THE RESERVE OFFICERS HAVE HELPED DEFUSE MANY POTENTIALLY VOLATILE SITUATIONS JUST BY THERE PRESENCE. WHEN PEOPLE SEE TWO OFFICERS RESPOND TO CALLS, THERE IS LESS CHANCE FOR CONFRONTATION. . THERE ARE MANY EXAMPLES OF HOW THE RESERVE OFFICERS HAVE HELPED THIS DEPARTMENT AND INCREASED OUR PROFESSIONAL IMAGE. ONE INCIDENT STANDS OUT IN MY MIND. ON THE EVENING OF AUGUST 15th, 1996 I TOOK A REPORT OF TWO LOST CHILDREN. A THIRD BOY WHO WAS WITH THE TWO LOST BOYS, MANAGED TOO MAKE IT HOME. THE BOY WHO MADE IT HOME STATED HE AND THE OTHER TWO BOYS WERE LEAVING THE SUPER AMERICA STATION WHEN A MAN IN A TRUCK BEGAN FOLLOWING THEM. ACCORDING TO THE THIRD BOY, THE MAN HAD HIS DRIVER'S WINDOW ROLLED DOWN AND WAS YELLING AT THEM. THE BOYS TRIED TO GET AWAY FROM THE MAN BY RIDING THEIR BIKES ON THE BIKE TRAIL BEHIND THE TRAILER PARK. THE THREE BOYS FOLLOWED THE TRAIL INTO MILLSTREAM PARK AND SPLIT UP. ACCORDING TO THE THIRD BOY, THE OTHER TWO BOYS RAN INTO THE WOODS ADJACENT TO MILLSTREAM PARK. STEARN'S COUNTY DEPUTIES, WAITE PARK POLICE K-9 UNIT, AND THE SAINT JOSEPH FIRE DEPARTMENT WERE CALLED TO HELP WITH THE SEARCH. RESERVE OFFICERS BECHTOLD AND BRUNNER HEARD THE POLICE CALL OVER THERE POLICE SCANNERS AND CAME TO ASSIST ME WITHOUT BEING ASKED TOO DO SO. LATER ON IN THE EVENING, THE TWO MISSING BOYS WERE LOCATED IN THE CITY OF WAITE PARK. THROUGH OUR INVESTIGATION, IT WAS DETERMINED THE BOYS MADE UP THE ENTIRE STORY ABOUT THE MAN IN THE TRUCK WHO FOLLOWED THEM. THE POINT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE, IS THAT RESERVE OFFICERS BRUNNER AND BECHTOLD CAME IN AND HELPED THIS DEPARTMENT WITHOUT BEING A:=iKED TOO DO SO. BOTH OFFICERS BRUNNER AND BECHTOLD HAD TO . WORK AT THERE FULL-TIME JOBS EARLY IN THE MORNING. THIS IE; JUST ONE OF MANY EXAMPLES OF HOW DEDICATED THESE RESERVE OFFICERS ARE TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND to THE CITY OF ~;AINT JOSEPH. . POLICE DEPARTMENT BRADLEY J. LINDGREN, CHIEF OF POLICE BOX 268, 25 N.W. 1ST AVENUE ST. JOSEPH, MINNESOTA 56374 EDUCATION.L CEIHER OF CENTRAL MINNESOTA (612) 363-8250 EMERGENCY 911 ANOTHER EXAMPLE, THAT JUST OCCURRED, WAS WITH RESERVE OFFICER BECHTOLD, WHO WAS OFF DUTY & RIDING HIS BIKE IN TOWN WHEN HE ALSO OBSERVED A SUSPICIOUS I WAS WATCHING BY ST JOSEPH GAS & BAIT, HE OBSERVED THIS PERSON URINATE IN PUBLIC, AND SAW HIM EXIT A SPECIFIC VEHICLE, UPON INVESTIGATION IT WAS DISCOVERED THE $2e,øøø VEHICLE WITH 41 MILES ON IT WAS JUST STOLEN FROM KLINE OLDS. KLINE OLDS, HADN'T TO THIS POINT, NOTICED IT MISSING UNTIL OUR DEPARTMENT CALLED. THERE ARE MANY OTHER EXAMPLES, SOME OF THE HIGHER PROFILE CASES YOU ARE AWARE OF OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS. THE PURPOSE OF THIS LETTER IS TWOFOLD, THE FIRST IS: MANY TIMES THE RESERVE OFFICERS ARE CALLED UPON BY LOCAL BUSINESSES AND ORGANIZATIONS TO BE PRESENT FOR SPECIAL EVENTS WHICH OCCUR IN THE CITY. MANY TIMES THE BUSINESSES OR ORGANIZATIONS ARE WILLING TO PAY FOR THE PRESENCE OF THE RESERVE OFFICERS. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE MONEY THE BUSINESSES AND ORGANIZATIONS USE TO PAY FOR THE RESERVE OFFICERS GOES TO THE GENERAL BUDGET. I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS TIME TO ASK THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER LETTING THE RESERVE . OFFICERS KEEP THE MONEY THEY EARN WHILE WORKING THESE SPECIAL EVENTS. THIS MONEY CAN HELP COMPENSATE THE MONEY THE RESERVE OFFICERS SPEND ON GAS, FOOD, AND SOME OF THEIR OWN EQUIPMENT THEY PURCHASE FOR WHEN THEY COME IN AND VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND TO THE CITY OF SAINT JOSEPH. THE SECOND REQUEST IS TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF RESERVE OFFICERS. I BELIEVE WHEN THE PROGRAM STARTED, THE NUMBER WAS SET AT 4 MEMBERS. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THERE WAS A SOMEWHAT OF A WAIT AND SEE ATTITUDE INSOFAR AS TO HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS OUT. I BELIEVE THE PROGRAM AND MEMBERS HAVE WORKED OUT EXCELLENT. THE REASON FOR THE INCREASE IN MEMBERS IS THIS. CERTAIN TIMES, SUCH AS THE 4TH OF JULY WE NEED AT LEAST 3 MEMBERS FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME, AND FOR MORE THAN 1 DAY < JUSTra GUARD THE GATES. WITH 4 MEMBERS & IT BEING A HOLIDAY WE ARE HURTING AT TIMES TO KEEP THE PROPER COVERAGE. ADDITIONALLY, WE LIKE TO TRY TO SCHEDULE A RESERVE OFFICER TO RIDE ALONG ON ALL THURSDAY'S, FRIDAY'S, AND SATURDAY'S, ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS ONLY 1 OFFICER ON DUTY THESE NIGHTS. THREE 0AYS A WEEK TIMES FOUR WEEKS IS 12 SHIFTS A MONTH THAT WE WOULD LIKE COVERED BY THE RESERVES. WITH ONLY 4 MEMBERS, ALL CF WHO, HAVE OTHER FULL TIME JOBS AND OR SCHOOL, IT BECOMES DIFFICULT TO HAVE ADEQUATE COVERAGE WITHOUT OVER WORKING/REQUESTING THE RESERVE OFFICERS. AGAIN, I BELIEVE THE PROGRAM IS WORKING OUT VERY WELL, ~s A GOOD COMPLIMENT TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE CITY, - ~ND WE RECEIVE HUNDREDS OF HOURS OF VOLUNTEER TIME. - POLICE DEPARTMENT BRADLEY J.

This year, 14 were in the southern states, seven in the midwest states, four slain in the northeast states, and three in the west. Twelve officers were slain while attempting arrests: Four while attempting to apprehend robbery suspects, four while attempting other arrests, two while attempting to apprehend burglary suspects, and two in drug-related matters. Sixteen officers were slain while attempting investigations: Three while investigating disturbance calls, one in an ambush situation, five while investigating suspicious persons, and seven in traffic stops. Twenty-six of the killings have been cleared by law enforcement authorities. Twelve officers were wearing protective vests. Twenty-two officers were killed in accidental situations. . A UTH!Ben F. Brewer DCFBIW ADO F .B.I., WASHINGTON, D. C. 911:0/96 Milwaukee Police Department, Wisconsin, advised that an officer, age 29, with three years of law enforcement service, was slain on 9/7/96 at approximately 2025 hours, while working a plain-clothes squad. The victim and partner were searching for a known felony suspect. Officers observed the subject, who proceeded to flee on foot. The victim, a passenger in the patrol vehicle, exited the vehicle and pursued the subject on foot. The victim's partner also gave chase. The victim ran through an opening in a fence where the subject was lying and waiting. The subject shot the victim twice with a .357 revolver. One shot penetrated the protective vest through the armpit area and traveled across the body, causing extensive injury. The second shot entered the lower back, below the vest, and traveled in an upward direction. The victim and partner fired at the subject. The victim's partner fired six rounds, striking the subject in the legs. The subject fled on foot, and responding police units sealed off the area. The subject was trailed to a nearby residence and was arrested without incident. The subject was on parole for armed robbery and was wanted in connection with parole violations. AUTH/Ben F.

With the connection, 2015 traffic flow on Minnesota street, east of 12th Aven.ue, will be reduced .by" approximately 4,000 to 6,000 vehicles per day. 'Theseare east/west travel desires thru st. Joseph that would use the new 12th Avenue connection ,from. CSAH 75 to Minnesota street rather· than 88th Avenue~ Traffic would increase on Minnesota street~ : west of, 12th "Avenue; by approximately~,OOO vehicles for a year 2015 forecastDf 10J500vehicles per day. This increase is due to improved system continuity. However, it should be noted that when anew east/west roadway is assumed < in the model. (southerly bypass), - 'extending from CSAH 75 at new C.R. 134 to CSAH 2, _ Minnesota street volumes drop" to a range of 2,500 to 5,500. vehicles per, day. This is well below existing volumes. " A Voluntary Association That is Committed to Coordinated Long-Range Planning' Through Constant, Cooperative" Intergovernmental Communication _. _ ,i , Mayor Bud Reber . October 10, 1996 Page 2 2 . What is the best location alternative for the north/so~th route currently planned on 12th Avenue? The 12th Avenue alignment, as currently planned, is the least disruptive location for a new north/south collector in this developing neighborhood area and it affords good system continuity. Existing alternatives to 12th Avenue (7th and 91st Avenues) are local residential streets that have either; location, existing development or geometric problems , with their respective connections to CSAH 75 and C.R. 133. Accordingly, they were dropped from consideration for a north/south collector function to serve future development. The proposed extension of 88th Avenue, from . CSAH 75 to the,east/west II southerly bypass", could also be considered as another alternative for 12th Avenue. However, this north/south roadway will not have system continuity north of CSAH 75 or south of the "southerly bypass" nor is it centrally located to efficiently serve travel demands generated by the future residential development on the south side of the city. . Relative to fears of creating a truck route along 12th Avenue due to its system continuity, existing and forecasted travel demands would indicate that this fear is unfounded. Existing travel demands are very low and there is no evolving demand identified in the future. Truck traffic typically seeks routes that minimize traffic conflicts, travel time and operating costs. Passing through a residential area tends to maximize all these elements. 3 . How vlill the "southerly bypass" impact the proposed 12th Avenue connection, and general circulation on the south side of the City? - - .. . . . Mayor Bud Reber October 10, 1996. Page 3 Year 2015 traffic forecasts.on,the "southerly bypass" range from ,9,200 vehicles west of CSAH 75 to 4,000 vehiclès southeast of CSAH 2. Year 2015 traffic for the currently planned north/south route on 12th Avenue rangé from. 6,400 vehicles sOuth·of CSAH 75 to 2,800 vehicles south of the "southerly bypass". ,This range· of travel demands is, typical , for the, collector function proposed. for 12th Avenue. wi thout12thAvenue in the system; travel' demands, would' seek, other . north/ south roadways connecting with CSAH 75, Minnesota street and the "soùtherly bypass". The "southerly bypass" serves eastfwest travel déslresthrough. the st.' Joseph ",area that would otherwise be on MiÍmesota' Street." In addition, approximately 2,000 vehicles which are generated ,from the developing neighborhood' area ,south' of Minnesota Street, also use the "southerly bypass".' . T,he proposed l,2th Avenue ,co"rinection tends to , ' 'balance travel demands ,on the system. ·4 . How would, making a connection' between CSAH 2' and CSAH 75, west of st. Joseph, impact·futuretraffic patterns? what ,is the best route for'this connection? The Year 2015 travel demand model assumes this connection and forecasts a volume of approximately 4,000 vehicles per day., These vehicles' would otherwise be on CSAH 2, 'between the "southerly .' bypass" and 2nd Avenue in st. Joseph, and on 2nd Avenue from CSAH 2 to CSAH 75. The currently' planned north/south alignment would connecttó the "southerly bypass" at CSAH 2 and extend north to the intersection of CSAH3 at CSAH 75. This lócation is desirable since it provides ideal system continuity for this arterial roadway." , Attached, for your better understanding, 'is Exhibit #1 which illustrates Year 2015 Traffic Flow in the st.

STEARNS COUNTY ANNOUNCES INTENT TO REVISE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Major changes are occurring in Steams County. From 1940 to 1994, Stearns County's population increased I PopulatIOn l.:hange trom IMbU - 2U2U I 85%, and the County's population is expected to reach Steams County 132,000 by the year 2020, an increase of 11 % from the 1990 census. Such rapid growth is comparable to 200 several of Minnesota's metropolitan counties. Along with growth in population comes pressure to develop f50 land for residential, commercial, industrial and other purposes, adding to the potential for land use conflicts c: .Q "Ë and creating new demands upon local financial ro '" 1)() ~§ resources, schools, roadways, wastewater treatment &. F systems, water supplies, law enforcement, public health 50 services and social services. With careful planning, however, growth and development can be managed 0 properly and can have positive impacts on local 1370 1390 131) mo 1350 1370 1390 201) e communities. 1380 fXX) '920 1340 1360 1380 1395 e 2020 Year . Stearns County is currently developing a framework with which to guide its land use activities by revising its existing Comprehensive Plan. This plan was developed in the early 1970's and no longer accurately reflects the needs of the County. The revised plan will set forth a vision for Steams County and will be created by its Citizens, thus enabling the County to coordinate land use planning with other services, such as transportation, development of recreational opportunities and economic development. A 25 member Citizen's Advisory Committee has been appointed by the Stearns County Board of Commissioners to oversee the process of revising the Comprehensive Plan and will provide perspective from a wide variety of backgrounds. Memb~rs include: Rose Arnold and Bob Gambrino (Stearns County Board of Commissioners), Bill Atherton (Labor), Jim Doll (Financial Institutions), Joe Fitzgerald (Steams County citizen), Dennis Fuchs (Soil and Water Conservation District), Patti Gartland (City of St. Cloud Planning Director), Gary Gillitzer (Medical Community), Tony Goddard (Economic Development), Tony Goulet (Residential Development), Nick Hall (Stearns County citizen), Pastor Toby Horst (Religious Community), James Kastanek (Agricultural Community), Sandy Klocker (Real Estate Sales), Jim Krebsbach (Lake Associations), Steve Ludwig (Higher Education), Scott Marek (Area Planning Organization), Bill McConnell (Stearns County citizen), Ollie Mondloch (Stearns County Townships), Ron Morton (Commercial Developers), Johnnie Olson (Stearns County Townships), Wayne Quinn (Stearns County citizen), Vince Schaefer (Stearns County Municipal League), Eve . Wallinga (Environmental Groups), and Tom Westerhaus (School Districts). In addition to input from the Citizen's Advisory Committee, Stearns County will be hosting a series of discussion sessions around the County to enable residents to share their concerris and describe their hopes for the County. Locations and dates of these discussions will be announced later this fall, and all residents of Stearns County are invited and encouraged to attend. . . . The Who, What, Where, Why, When, & How of the Stearns County Comprehensive Planning Process WHO - The Steams County Board of Commissioners on January 9, 1996 authorized County staff to begin the process of updating the County's Comprehensive Plan . WHAT' - The Stearns County Comprehensive Plan is intended to provide the framework for public and private decision making on land use issues, and represents the official development policy of the County. The Comprehensive Plan establishes the foundation for future growth and development within our County. Since the Comprehensive Plan is to be the basis of public policy, it is important for the makers of the plan to understand the issues that are important to the citizens of the County. To determine the direction of the Comprehensive Plan and to focus on the issues of our various communities, community visioning sessions will be held throughout the County. WHY- The rapid growth and development of the eastern portion of the County and the change in demographics and agricultural practices in the western portion of the county have created the need for an updated Comprehensive Plan. Major issues of land use, transportation, economic development, recreation and infrastructure are occurring . because of the changes, necessitating a means to coordinate existing plans and deliver services more efficiently. WHEN - The planning process has an estimated time line of two years, concluding by the end of 1997. This process includes the internal review of plans and policies, creation of a Citizen Advisory Committee, participation in the community visioning sessions, determining the goals, objectives and overall direction of the plan after visioning, and the actual physical development of a Comprehensive Plan . HOW - The planning process is to be accomplished in three phases. The first phase is to " develop a sense of what the County needs are through citizen participation (Citizens Advisory Committee & Community Visioning Sessions). The second phase is to create the plans and policies required to carry out the vision. The third phase is to implement the goals & objectives through specific action items contained in the Comprehensive Plan. At this time, the County is in the first phase of the process: determining the direction of the plan through citizen participation. We are asking for input from all persons affected by the Comprehensive Plan to be a part of the community visioning sessions to establish the direction that the ~ounty needs to develop the Comprehensive Plan . . WHERE - Considering the size and diversity of Stearns County, five planning areas were established to assist staff in assessing the needs and concerns of similarly situated areas throughout the county, and allow the Stearns County citizens ample opportunity for input. . . ·0 ' ~ cd 9 ~ 0 I.r) ~ ¿ o ~ ' ~ > ~ : .~ = ~ 00 I 0 'S: ~ QJ.~ ;...c ~ ~ ~ ~ (]) = ~ '$ ~....oo § (])æ~ ê ~ .. = .ê ,...... = . ~ :> ~ = ~'j d 0 0 ~ .~ ~.~ È o ...~ § U~> ~ = ~ a '- .. ....

Page 2 · ALLEY IMPROVEMENT: Lora Lee appeared before the Council requesting th.... Council consider the alley, in Block 2, Loso's 2nd Addition, a street. The existing street improvement policy would allow the property owner to pay only 60% of improvement costs. She felt this was appropriate because there are houses that have their front on that alley. Mayor Reber stated the improvement policies for streets and alleys are in place. Rieke stated the Council gave great latitude to the property owners to maintain or upgrade that alley, at the last meeting. Lee state9 the manhole located in the alley could cause snow removal problems if the alley does not keep the blacktopped surface. Cory Ehlert arrived at 7:26 p.m. Hiemenz indicated this alley is different than other alleys because some houses front on it. He suggested the alley could be upgraded to street status. Loso stated changing the alley status would upgrade the alley to have all the requirements of a street including increased speed limit. Loso recommended reviewing the condition of all the alleys in the city. Hiemenz made a motion to have a study done on all the condition of all the alleys in the City, including the amount of alleys and the cost to blacktop the alleys City wide. On completion of the study the affected property owners will be surveyed for their support of blacktopping all the alleys. The motion was seconded by Ehlert.
