GIVING KIDS WHAT THEY NEED TO SUCCEED
Wby do some kids deal with life and
growing up with ease, while others
struggle? Why do some kids avoid dangerous
activities, while others get involved in all kinds of risky
behavior? What happens to help one young person beat
the odds, while another seems trapped?
Many factors influence why some young people have
many successes in life, and why others have a harder
time. However, research by Search Institute has identified
specific, practical things that can have a tremendous and
lasting positive impact on youth. Rather than focusing on
problems, this research concentrates on "developmental
assets"—the positive things (like parent support and
commitment to education) that help young people
thrive. The assets are 30 building blocks that young
people need to help
them make wise
decisions and choose
positive lifestyles. The
more of these assets
they experience, the
better.
Sixteen of the assets
are external. They are the
supports, boundaries,
and structure that surround youth. The other 14 assets
are internal commitments, attitudes, values, and skills
that support youth from within. Together they form a
foundation for healthy development.

THE POWER OF ASSETS
Research has found that these 30 assets powerfully protect young people from a wide
range of risky behaviors. And, the more assets a young person has, the better. Because as the number of
assets a youth has increases, the number of risky behaviors decreases. In addition, the positive things we want youth to
do increase. The same patterns hold true in all sizes of communities, across racial and ethnic lines, and among females
and males.

THE CHALLENGE
The challenge is that almost all young people have too few of the 30 assets. Although they
should have at least 26, most have only about 16—a start, but not enough. Here's a picture of what we found:
62%
14%
20%
Search Institute suggests a goal
that all young people should
experience at least 26 of the
30 assets. Yet only 4 percent
of youth reach this goal.

EVERYONE'S AN ASSET BUILDER
The exciting thing about assets is that everyone—parents,
grandparents, teachers, coaches, friends, youth workers,
employers, youth, and others—can build them. The whole community
can play a role in raising confident, caring young people who will be the leaders of
tomorrow! Here are some ideas for what you can do:
• Get to know the names of teenagers in your neighborhood.
• Hug a child or teenager.
• Greet young people with a smile when you pass them on the
street.
• Volunteer to be a big brother or sister to a young person
through a mentoring program in your community.
• Donate children's and
teen's books to a local
shelter that serves
families and children.
• Invite your child or the
child of a friend to spend
an afternoon with you.
• Offer to give a parent you
know a break by spending
an hour or two with her
or his child.
• If you are a young person: Find one special adult,
other that your parent(s), to spend time with
regularly.
• If you are an employer: Hire a teenager to work in
your office two afternoons a week. Offer plenty of
training, support, and encouragement.
• Call a young person you know, just to say 'hi:
• Be a youth advocate. Know the issues that affect
young people and speak out on their behalf.
• Remember what it was like to be young.
• If you are a parent: Ask your child to help you with a
project. Explain what you are doing. why, and how.
• Go to a performance or sporting event of a child or
teenager you know.
• Get involved with a youth program in a
congregation or community center.
• Hire young people—rather than professionals—to
mow your lawn, shovel snow, or rake leaves.
• Go for a walk with a kid.
• Befriend a young person who seems lonely or
bored.
Six Principles of Asset Building
All young people need assets—While it is
crucial to pay special attention to those
youth who have the least (economically or
emotionally), nearly all children and
adolescents need more assets than they
have.
2. Everyone can build assets—Asset
development requires consistent messages
across a community.All adults, youth, and
children play a role.
3. It's an ongoing process—Asset
development starts when a child is born
and continues through high school and
beyond.
4. Relationships are key—A central key to
asset development is strong relationships
between adults and young people, young
people and their peers, and teenagers and
children.
5. Consistent messages—Asset building
requires consistent, positive messages
about what is important.
6. Redundancy—Kids need to hear the same
positive messages and feel support over
and over again, from many different
people.

Healthy Communities • Hea/tliy Youth
now, most people have heard
V17 -the saying, "It takes a village to
raise a child." But until now, there's
been little concrete advice for just
how a village can do that. With
major support from Lutheran
Brotherhood, Search Institute is
introducing a new initiative called
Healthy Communities • Healthy
Youth that provides a vision,
structure, resources, and training to
mobilize communities to
collectively "raise" their children.
"What we're talking about here
A New National Initiative
is creating a national movement
to change how we think about
and interact with young people,"
says Peter Benson, president,
Search Institute. "We're educating
people in all corners of
communities across the country
about what they can do to make
sure young people get what they
require to grow up to be healthy,
happy, productive adults."

impact of 30 of these
foundations—or developmental
assets.
The 30 developmental assets are
divided into six categories:
support, boundaries, structured
time use, educational
commitment, positive values, and
social competencies. (For a
complete list of the assets see page
4 of the Healthy Communities
Healthy Youth booklet, Search
Institute, 1996.) The more of
these assets young people have, the
less likely they are to be involved
in risky behaviors. Furthermore,
young people with more assets in
their lives are more likely to be
involved in positive behaviors such
as volunteering and doing well in
school.
Search Institute
has identified at
least seven ways
Y•J for the public
sector to play a
role in nurturing
these
developmental
assets in youth.
Providing Support—
Relationships are at the heart
of providing support. Government
cannot force relationships to
develop, but it can create
environments in which positive
relationships are more likely. This
may involve creating safe
neighborhoods and parks, ensuring
that families have necessary
supports, and policies such as
community policing that have
potential for building positive
relationships.
Finally, government needs to
ensure that its own employees are
equipped to build assets in their
families and communities. Policies
should be flexible to allow
employees to fulfill their roles as
parents and/or be involved in their
communities through mentoring,
volunteering in youth programs,
and other asset -building activities.
ZCreating Boundaries—
Support and affirmation need
to be complemented with clear
boundaries and expectations
regarding which behaviors are
acceptable to the community and
which are not. Government can
and should ident�fy the
community's norms and values by
listening to citizens, set boundaries
based on these shared norms and
values, educate community
members about the boundaries and
their importance, and consistently
enforce boundaries through policy
setting and law enforcement.
0 Opportunities for Structured
Time Use—Recreation,
camping, sports, and other youth -
development programs are
essential for young people's healthy
development. Yet these programs
are often the first to be cut in times
of budget tightening. Until these
health -promoting programs are
strengthened and available to all
youth, society will continue to
spend increasing resources on
back -end responses such as law
enforcement, prisons, and
treatment programs.
®Nurturing Educational
Commitment—No person or
organization can force young
people to internalize a love for
learning. However, government
can invest resources (and
encourage investment by business
executives, civic leaders, and
others) that stimulate interest in
learning and allow youth to pursue
their educational dreams.
FCultivating Positive Values -
5 I In our increasingly
fragmented society, it's difficult for
Youth Update
young people to receive clear signals
about the core positive values that
are important for personal
development. Government can play
an important role in encouraging
constructive, respectful dialogue
about the values (such as freedom,
democracy, and justice) we share as
a society and seek to pass on to our
young people.
�j Building Social
Competencies—Many
government entities can engage
young people in service and
leadership projects that build life
skills such as decision making,
planning, and assertiveness. Young
people can be involved through
graffiti removal, leadership in
summer recreation programs, or
citizen patrols to enhance the safety
of neighborhoods.
Catalyst for Change—Asset
building requires the
involvement and engagement of all
sectors in a community.
Government can be a leader in
initiating partnerships for youth
between the public, private, and
philanthropic sectors.
As people feel supported and
connected, as they articulate a
shared sense of values, and as they
work together on behalf of children
and youth, their commitment to the
community and its future will grow.
When that happens, a community
will be well on the way to having
the energy, skills, commitments,
and resources to address other
pressing needs and to move toward
a renewed sense of community for
all residents.

BUILDING HEALTHY COMMUNITIES
Report and Recommendations
THE COMMUNITY YOUTH TASK FORCE
April 1996
BUILDING HEALTHY COMMUNITIES
Summary
The Community Youth Task Force is comprised of leaders from all community sectors dedicated to the goal
of creating a healthy community for youth development. The Task Force's service area includes all
communities within the School District 728 boundaries.
For the past three years, the Youth Task Force has collected information from organizations, groups, and
individuals (both youth and adult) regarding the status of the community for healthy youth development.
The foundation for our research has been the nationwide work of the Search Institute of Minneapolis, whose
focus is on building assets in youth that contribute to success. We have concentrated on the sixteen
external assets: factors that exist in a young person's environment which contribute to his or her positive
development. These assets are: Family Support; Parent(s) as Social Resource; Parent Communication;
Other Adult Resources; Other Adult Communication; Parent Involvement in Schooling; Positive School
Climate; Parental Standards; Parental Discipline; Parental Monitoring; Time at Home; Positive Peer
Influence; Involved in Music; Involved in School Extra -curricular Activities; Involved in Community
Organizations or Activities; and Involved in Faith Community.
While our communities exhibit many strengths in terms of people, programs and resources that contribute to
building assets, the Community Youth Task Force has identified five key areas of concern that currently
inhibit our progress. We strongly recommend that all sectors of our communities work together to overcome
obstacles to positive youth development.

Percentages of youth in our area who report having each asset in their lives, and ideas for
action are presented in the detailed report which follows. Key recommendations are noted by a
As we discuss building assets, it is important to keep these three principles in mind:
Everyone has a role to play in building assets. Not just parents, schools, community organizations,
congregations or governments, though they all certainly play important roles. Everyone can get involved in
asset -building. Senior citizens and children, single adults and couples, policy makers and citizens, neigh-
bors and employers, wealthy families and low income -families, liberals and conservatives—kids need us all.
And, we all can share a common, hopeful commitment to kids and the future.'
Asset -building is more about people than programs. Relationships are the key. Quality relationships can
form with or without a program --a neighbor playing basketball with the kids, a grandmother keeping an eye
on the bus stop to make sure that children are safe on their way to school. Programs may be vehicles for
connecting youth to adults, but the critical issue is the care and support that grow through relationships.
Money may help sometimes, but the commitment and involvement of caring people make the most difference.'
All kids need asset -building. Often youth programming focuses on just the "best" kids or the "worst" kids—
the high achievers or the young people at risk. True, these groups may need special attention in some
areas. But asset -building can help all kids.'
'From What Kids Need to Succeed. Proven, Practical Ways to Raise Good Kids
Peter L. Benson, Ph.D., Judy Galbraith, M.A., Pamela Espeland
Free Spirit Publishing, Inc., Minneapolis, 1995.
ASSET 3: Parent Communication Kids have frequent, in-depth conversations with
their parents on a variety of topics. Parents take the time to talk seriously with
their children.
43% have this asset in their lives
(This type of communication is adult -initiated, and many parents do not know how to be leaders in this area.
The content of the conversations is less important than the process of talking seriously together.)
Ideas for building this asset:
- AT HOME
Parents can regularly initiate conversations with their kids using questions, not challenges. They can be sure
to respect kids' opinions, never labeling their statements as stupid, silly, childish or wrong.
Parents can spend individual time alone with each of their children. Take a day to shop or drive in the country.
Open the opportunity to talk about anything that may come up.
- AT SCHOOL
Teachers can help children learn how to express their feelings in conversations and discussions. Schools
can offer opportunities for kids to learn to discuss a variety of topics with others.
- IN THE COMMUNITY
Churches and community organizations can sponsor discussion groups for parents and teens. An educational
component can be provided to help families learn to express opinions and feelings in a non -judgmental and
non -threatening way.
ASSET 4: Other Adult Resources Kids have other adults besides their parents they
can turn to for advice and support.
49% have this asset in their lives
(This type of communication is generally youth -initiated, and many adults do not know how to be available
and/or how to respond.)
Ideas for building this asset:
- AT HOME
Parents can give their kids opportunities to spend time with positive adults. These adults might be extended
family members, coaches, neighbors, youth ministers, etc.
- AT SCHOOL
School officials can require that all adults who interact with kids create asset -building plans (ways in
Iwhich they will work to build assets in the youth with whom they work).
\IIS
School officials can require that all coaches employed by the district qualify for certification through
a program which focuses on positive youth development.
- IN THE COMMUNITY
Since our mobile society has created distance among extended family members, teachers, counselors,
coaches, pastors, youth ministers, and adult friends and neighbors can be informed and/or trained and
motivated to provide this support.
All coaches, professional or volunteer, who interact with kids can be required to qualify for
certification through a program which focuses on positive youth development.
*ASSET 5: Other Adult Communication
with adults who are not their parents.
28% have this asset in their lives
Kids have frequent, in-depth conversations
(This type of communication is adult -initiated. Adults need training, time and interest to do it well. Kids must
be treated as equals in the discussion. They must be trusted, valued and listened to. Adults must not be
judgmental, dismissive or condescending.)
Ideas for building this asset:
- AT HOME
Parents can include their kids in conversations they have with other adults when it is appropriate.
Teachers and administrators can recognize that parents and youth worry about recriminations if they lodge a
complaint. Educators can adopt the attitude that people can get "better service" as a result of a reasonable
complaint.
• IN THE COMMUNITY
Service organizations and churches can provide child care and transportation to families who would not be
able to attend school events without such support.
All members of the community can recognize the importance of learning in a child's life and support a positive
learning climate.
'ASSET 7: Positive School Climate School provides a caring, encouraging and safe
environment for kids.
46% have this asset in their lives
Ideas for building this asset:
• AT HOME
Parents can encourage their kids to bring any school concerns to them (physical threats, verbal abuse, play-
ground bullies, sexual harassment, etc), and parents can report concerns immediately to school officials.
Parents can volunteer to help in school. The more time spent there, the more parents will know about the
environment.
• AT SCHOOL
School personnel can create an atmosphere where everyone feels valued and important.
Schools can use student committees to create and implement policies as much as possible.
Adults who work within the school system can set and live up to the standards they would like youth to
emulate. They can demonstrate high standards by treating their coworkers and students with respect.
When discussing controversial issues in the classroom, teachers can create as much balance as possible,
being careful not to strongly advocate for a particular position.
Programs which help develop skills in decision making and non-violent ways to deal with conflict can be
supported through stable and continuing funding. (Such programs include DARE and Peer Mediation.)
• IN THE COMMUNITY
Business groups and individuals can work to increase school/business interactions and cooperation such as
career fairs, business tours, volunteer tutors. The Business/Education Partnership Committee can be
supported and expanded.
Service clubs can be directly involved in schools as event sponsors and positive role models.
*ASSET 8: Parental Standards Parents have standards for appropriate conduct.
They clearly express their standards to their kids.
76% have this asset in their lives
Ideas for building this asset:
• AT HOME
Parents can set clear standards for behavior and to realize that young people do hear what parents say.
Parents can be consistent in setting stand a rds—consistent over time and across situations. Parents can
talk with their children about standards and explain the reasons for them.
Parents can set and live up to the standards that they would like their kids to emulate. They can
demonstrate high standards by treating all family members with respect. (Home should be a safe
and nurturing place for kids, a refuge free of violence and abuse where kids learn how to give and
receive love.)
• AT SCHOOL
Recognize what is in place and working: the Quality School effort at Lincoln Elementary. The Glasser model
which uses non -coercive discipline and helps students learn the reasons for behavior and why they and others
choose to behave as they do. This management style relies on open and ongoing communication between
adults and young people. Standards are set and agreed upon by all the players in a spirit of cooperative
authority. Schools can examine ways in which they are directly or indirectly communicating standards to youth.
5
When children are at home, parents can be careful to avoid unrealistic expectations of them. For example,
some kids are expected to get themselves out of bed and off to school alone, take care of themselves (and
younger siblings) after school alone before they are old enough to assume these responsibilities.
• AT SCHOOL
Schools can take care to respect the needs of students for balance in their lives between time at home and
time spent in school activities.
• IN THE COMMUNITY
Community organizations and government agencies can take note that some families are isolated, and time
at home for youth in these families is not always positive. Isolated families are not involved in or participating
in their community, and may be caught up in abuse or violence. There is a need for a healthy balance of time
at home and involvement in the greater community. Human service agencies can offer assistance to youth
from isolated families, perhaps providing them with an adult mentor.
*ASSET 12: Positive Peer Influence Children's best friends model responsible behavior.
They are a good influence.
64% of youth have this asset in their lives
Ideas for building this asset:
• AT HOME
Parents and older siblings of youth can encourage positive friendships. Kids' friends can be made welcome
in the home and included in some family activities.
• AT SCHOOL
School officials can encourage and promote positive student initiatives such as Peer Helpers, SADD,
TARGET MN, etc.
• IN THE COMMUNITY
Media, service groups, youth organizations, and church groups, etc. can focus attention on and promote the
positive things kids are doing, such as academic achievement, citizenship activities, sports and employment
accomplishments, and volunteer contributions.
The judicial system can continue and expand such creative sentencing as requiring a public apology from
adults who are convicted of supplying alcohol and/or drugs to kids.
Local business organizations and other community leaders can join together in a coalition which
would spearhead an initiative to define youth success in a more comprehensive way than is done
currently. This coalition could lend financial support to an ongoing campaign in the local press to
recognize local youth who achieve success according to the comprehensive definition. Such a
public campaign would celebrate positive youth development thereby enlarging the field of role
models and peer influences on youth and children.
Local churches, businesses, service organizations and civic groups can support positive activities for youth
and families which have a track record of success, such as the New Years Eve Party, the Fifth Quarter
parties, the Halloween party, Proud to be a Parent, etc.
*ASSET 13: Involved in Music Kids are involved in band, orchestra or choir, or they
take music lessons. They practice one or more hours a week.
25% of youth have this asset
Ideas for building this asset:
• AT HOME
Parents can share their music experiences with their kids; they may even begin to play an instrument again.
Parents can encourage their children to play musical instruments, and provide opportunities for them to do so.
Families can expose their children to a variety of music early and consistently.
• AT SCHOOL
The school district can expand options in all grades, K-12, for students to participate in a greater variety of
music opportunities.
Schools can help encourage music participation by educating parents on the importance of music in healthy
youth development.
7
• IN THE COMMUNITY
Local service organizations can sponsor "junior' organizations through which kids could experience service
to their communities as well as mentorship from the parent organizations.
Local governments and citizens can support recreation programs with tax dollars and volunteer time.
Community members can support the local Random Acts of Kindness movement.
Community leaders and citizens can support the development of youth -serving community initiatives such as
Girls and Boys Clubs.
Church youth groups can support service projects such as Habitat for Humanity, The Crop Walk,
Caring and Sharing Hands, etc
*ASSET 16• Involved in a Faith Community Kids regularly attend religious programs
or services—at least once a month.
39% of youth have this asset in their lives
Ideas for building this asset:
• AT HOME
Parents can make their faith a part of their daily life at home in ways which are appropriate for their family.
Parents can actively participate in worship experiences. They should not drop the kids off at church services
or classes and pick them up later.
--AT SCHOOL
The school district can continue to respect traditional religious holidays and worship calendars.
• IN THE COMMUNITY
Churches can look for models to the churches which have high youth involvement in order to encourage
youth participation.
The ministerial association can make a commitment to working toward increased youth involvement in all
congregations. Joining together can increase the likelihood of success as well as giving the community an
example of collaboration among diverse faith communities.

Deferred Assessment Judy Hudson DC
BACKGROUND
In 1982 a Street Improvement Project (Otsego Acres) was done with each benefiting property
assessed for $1,725.76. The Annual Interest Rate was 11.1 %, a Ten (10) Year Term, an Interest
Start Date of 9-30-82 with first payment in 1983.
The owners of Property PID# 118-026-004050, L5 L4 Otsego Acres 1st Addition, 14124 88th
Street NE, at that time were Robert & Esther Eastman. They elected in 1982 to defer payment
under State Statute 435 193 Senior Citizens ieriol Assessment nef rrr, l
In 1984 ownership of this property was changed to Esther Eastman and also a Contract for Deed
started in this year to a Jerald L and Karen L. Loss Sr. In 1994 ownership was changed to
Mr. and Mrs. Jerald Loss, Sr.
The Wright County Assessor's Office notified the City recently that the assessment has not been
paid and the ownership was changed.
In researching our records, I found that there was never an special assessment search requested at
the time of the Contract for Deed or Change of Ownership.
According to State Statute 435 195 Termination of Right to Deferred Payment shall terminate
and all amounts accumulated plus applicable interest, shall become due upon the occurrence of
any of the following events:
1. The death of the owner, provided that the spouse is otherwise not eligible for the
benefits hereunder.
2. The sale, transfer or subdivision of the property or any part thereof;
3. If the property should for any reason lose its homestead status; or
4. If for any reason the taxing authority deferring the payments shall determine
that there would be no hardship to require immediate or partial payment.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
There are several payment options the City Council could consider, they are listed as follows:
1. Pay the unpaid balance of $1,725.76 plus accumulated interest at the rate of
11.1% from 1982 to 1996 for a total of $8,369.39.
2. Pay the unpaid balance of $1,725.76 plus straight interest at the rate of 11.1 %
from 1982 to 1996 of $2,681.83 for a total of $4,407.59
3. Pay the unpaid balance of $1,725.76 plus the amount of interest the
other benefiting properties paid of $1,101.67 for a total of $2,827.43 plus
additional accumulated interest from the end of the ten year period to 1996 at the rate of
8% for a total of $3,561.74.
4. Pay the unpaid balance of $1,725.76 plus same amount of interest the other
benefiting properties paid of $1,101.67 for a total of $2,827.43.
I have discussed this issue with the Business/Finance Director, the City Clerk and the City
Attorney. They also agreed that there are a variety of options the City Council could consider.
Option 3 is recommended. The reason being that this is fair and equitable. If the Council agrees I
will write a letter to Mr. and Mrs. Loss regarding this, giving them 90 days to pay. If Mr. and
Mrs. Loss desires a payment plan, the staff has a few options.

DATE: 7 May 1996
RE: Otsego - Heritage Plains Final Plat
FILE NO: 176.02 - 96.04
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
BACKGROUND
Mr. Richard Kincannon has requested final plat approval of the "Heritage Plains"
subdivision located south of County Road 39 and west of Ochoa Avenue.
At its 11 th March 1996 meeting, the City Council approved the preliminary plat and a
planned unit development conditional use permit to accommodate various subdivision
design flexibilities (i.e., lot widths and cul-de-sac length) within the subdivision.
The subject property is zoned R-3, Residential, Immediate Urban service.
Attached for reference:
Exhibit A - Site Location
Exhibit B - Approved Preliminary Plat
Exhibit C - Final Plat
Exhibit D - Final Grading and Drainage Plan
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the following review, our office recommends approval of the Heritage Plains final
plat subject to the following conditions:
5775 Wayzata Blvd. • Suite 555 - St. Louis Park, MN 55416 • (612) 595 -9636 -Fax. 595-9837
1. The service road which abuts the subject property to the north is surfaced with
bituminous material. This issue should be subject to further comment by the City
Engineer and Wright County Highway Department.
2. Driveways upon Lots 1 and 16 are located proximate to the lots' southern
boundaries.
3. The subdivision's street (O'Brian Avenue) is constructed as an urban section. This
issue should be subject to further comment by the City Engineer.
4. The City Engineer provide comment/recommendation in regard to drainage and
utility easement establishment.
5. The submitted grading and drainage plan is subject to review and approval by the
City Engineer.
6. All park and trail dedication requirements as recommended by the Park and
Recreation Committee and approved by the City Council are satisfactorily met.
7. All front yards of lots be sodded. Side yards which abut public streets are to be
treated as "front yards" and shall also be sodded.
8. The City Engineer provide comment and recommendation in regard to street
lighting.
9. The applicant enter into a development agreement with the City and post all
necessary securities required by it.
10. Comments of other City staff.
ISSUES ANALYSIS
Consistency with Approved Preliminary Plat. The lot, block and street design illustrated
on the final plat is consistent with the preliminary plat which was approved by the City
Council on 11 March 1996 (see Exhibits B and C).
Planned Unit Development. As part of the preliminary plat processing, a planned unit
development conditional use permit was approved (conditionally) to accommodate the
following:
1. Lot widths less than the 150 foot requirement imposed in the base R-3 zoning
district.
0�
2. A cul-de-sac which exceeds the maximum 500 foot length requirement.
The submitted final plat reflects the lot width and cul-de-sac length flexibilities.
Lots. With a minor exception, all sixteen lots illustrated upon the final plat are identical
in configuration to those illustrated upon the approved preliminary plat. Due to a slight
shift in the O'Brian Avenue/County Road 39 service road intersection, the configurations
of Lots 1 and 16 have been modified slightly. Such lot configurations are, however,
considered acceptable and result in improved street visibility to the County Road 30
service road..
Streets. As a condition of preliminary plat approval, O'Brian Avenue has been
reconfigured to intersect the County Road 39 service road at a right angle. Such street
will be required to be constructed as an "urban" section. Additionally, paving of the service
road which serves the subject property will be required.
Driveways. As a condition of final plat approval, the driveways upon Lots 1 and 16 should
be located proximate to the lots southern boundaries.
Grading and Drainage. As required by ordinance, a final grading and drainage plan has
been submitted for review (see Exhibit D). Such plan will be subject to review and
approval by the City Engineer.
Landscaping. To further justify the use of PUD all front yards in the subject plat will be
required to be sodded.
Easements. As required by the Subdivision Ordinance, 10 foot drainage and utility
easements have been established along all lot lines. An expanded drainage easement
has also been provided in the rear portions of Lots 10, 11 and 12. All easement related
issues should be subject to comment and recommendation by the City Engineer.
Park and Trail Dedication. Specific park and trail dedication requirements as
recommended by the Park and Recreation Advisory Committee and approved by the City
Council will, as a condition of final plat approval, need to be satisfied..
Development Agreement. As a condition of final plat approval, the applicant will be
required to enter into a development agreement with the City and post all the necessary
securities required by it.
3
CONCLUSION
Review of the Heritage Plains final plat finds that the plat drawing is basically identical to
the previously approved preliminary plat. Based on the preceding review, our office.
recommends approval of the final plat subject to the conditions listed in the Executive
Summary of this report.

RE: Heritage Plains - Final Plat
Dear Elaine:
3601 Thurston Avenue
Anoka, Minnesota 55303
612/427-5860
F612/427-3401
i o 1996
Hakanson Anderson Associates, Inc. has reviewed the above referenced plat and has
the following comments and concerns:
• The grading and drainage portion of the plan appears adequate to serve the plat
and tributary areas north of the plat. It was agreed that a rear lot swale would
be constructed along the perimeter of the plat to restrict storm water from
running off the plat. The grading plan does not show that swale.
• The frontage road design appears adequate to meet the needs of the area.
• All work performed in the County Right of Way is subject to the comments and
requirements of the Wright County Highway Department. This includes all
removal, regrading and roadway construction work. A copy of the County
permit should be sent us.
• The 18" RCP storm sewer line located between lots 11 and 12 could be
shortened by approximately 160 lineal feet. The discharge should occur past
the building pads, however, it does not have to be constructed the entire length
to the pond. Shortening of the pipe is at the Developer's discretion. The pipe,
as shown, will serve the development adequately.
• The pipe under the service road must be R.C.P. with apron end wall.
• Street signs should be shown on the plan and detailed in the specifications.
We recommend placing the following signs:
1) A dead end sign near the entrance of the cul-de-sac.
Engineers Landscape Architects Surveyors
Elaine Beatty
May 9, 1996
Page 2
2) A stop sign at the intersection of the cul-de-sac and the frontage road.
3) A street naming sign at the intersection of the cul-de-sac and the
frontage road.
4) A speed zone sign for 30 MPH is also required.
• The street light standard location should be shown on the plan. The minimum
street lighting plan should have a light in the cul-de-sac, and at the intersection
with the service road. However, the utility company should review the spacing
between light.
The following changes should be made to the specifications to bring them
accordance with the City's Standard Specifications:
1) Seeding should be applied at a rate of 50 lbs/acre.
2) Fertilizer should be applied at a rate of 500 lbs/acre.
3) Mulch should be applied at a rate of 2 tons/acre.
4) The City's Standard Specification For Street Construction for Developers
(March. 1995) shall be referenced in the specifications.
We have required a 20' drainage and utility easement on plats that border unplated and
plat land that do not have easement on the adjacent side. If Great Acres does
not have at least a 10 feet drainage & utility easement then this plat needs to provide
a 20' easement. The easement on the east border is adequate as shown.
A pre -construction meeting is required. The developer is responsible for requesting the
pre -construction meeting. The developer agreement must be signed and all payments
to the City satisfied before the preconstruction meeting can be held.
The Developer is fully responsible for erosion and sediment control which includes
wind and stormwater erosion.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Background
Otsego Mayor and City Council
Bob Kirmis
8 May 1996
Otsego - Sorenson Ridge Final Plat
176.02 - 96.03
Chris and Linda Bulow have requested final plat approval of the Sorenson Ridge (formerly
Bulow Estates 2nd) subdivision located south of County Rod 39 and east of Nashua
Avenue. The proposed 29 lot single family subdivision comprises 36 acres of land and
overlays a portion of the City's Original Townsite Plat.
At previous meetings, the City Council approved a rezoning of the property from A-1,
Agricultural Rural Service to PUD, Planned Unit Development and formally vacated the
existing street rights-of-way which underlie the subject property. Such actions were
necessary to accommodate the proposed development. The subject plat is identical in
terms of layout to the previously approved preliminary plat.
Attached for reference:
Exhibit A - Site Location
Exhibit B - Approved Preliminary Plat
Exhibit C - Final Plat
5775 Wayzata Blvd. - Suite 555 • St. Louis Park, MN 55416 • (612) 595-9636•Fax. 595-9837
Recommendation
Based on the following review, our office recommends approval of the Sorenson Ridge,
final plat subject to the following conditions:
1. While the City finds the proposed plat to be consistent with applicable Wild and
Scenic provisions, it recognizes the ability of the Department of Natural Resources
(DNR) to deny the plat and shall provide no financial assistance to the applicants
in their dealings in the matter.
2. The applicant demonstrate a manner in which the lots could possibly be
resubdivided in the future (upon the advent of public sewer service).
3. The driveway upon Lot 17, Block 3 is located proximate to the lot's southern
boundary.
4. Park and trail dedication requirements, as recommended by the Park and
Recreation Committee and approved by the City Council, are satisfactorily met.
5. Those outlots which lie adjacent to the subject property and owned by the applicant
shall either be:
a. Incorporated into the subject plat; or
b. Deeded to adjacent property owners within the Great River Acres
subdivision.
6. As agreed, the applicant provide owners of adjacent outlots with quit claim deeds.
7. Grading and drainage plans meet the approval of the City Engineer.
8. The applicant enter into a development agreement and post the necessary
securities required by it.
9. Comments from other City staff.
ISSUES ANALYSIS
Consistent with Approved Preliminary Plat. The lot, block and street design illustrated
on the final plat is consistent with the preliminary plat which was approved by the City
Council on 8 April 1996.
2
Zoning. At the time of preliminary plat application, the subject property was rezoned to
a PUD, Planned Unit Development zoning designation.
The PUD designation was applied to the property in recognition of the unique.
circumstances which surround the proposed development (i.e., non -conforming lot sizes,
etc.). The PUD zoning designation will accommodate the proposed residential density,
without jeopardizing the intent of the Comprehensive Plan.
Street Vacation. The Original Townsite Plat street rights-of-way which had previously
underlaid the subject property were formally vacated at the City Council's 22 April 1996
meeting. The vacation of such streets was necessary to accommodate the development
proposal.
Lots. The 29 lots illustrated upon the final plat are identical in configuration to those
illustrated upon the approved preliminary plat. All lots meet or exceed R-3 District lot area
requirements (considered appropriate for proposed development).
Streets. The street layout illustrated upon the final plat is likewise identical to the street
layout illustrated on the approved preliminary plat. The proposed street names have been
found to be consistent with the City's street naming plan.
Wild and Scenic District. The northern + 220 feet of the subject property lies within the
Wild and Scenic River District. While it was the City's previous finding (as part of
preliminary plat approval) that the plat is consistent with applicable Wild and Scenic
provisions. It recognizes that the DNR has the authority to deny the plat. The City will in
no way provide financial support to the applicants in their dealings in this matter.
Resubdivision. According to Section 21-6-2.E of the Subdivision Ordinance, where a
structure is to be on large or excessively deep lots which are subject to potential replat,
a logical way the lots could possibly be resubdivided in the future should be indicated.
While the proposed lots provide ample width for potential resubdivision, a specific
resubdivision plan should be submitted.
Outlots. As part of the preliminary plat approval, the following conditions were imposed
in relation to the outlots which abut the subject property on the east:
1. Those outlots which lie adjacent to the subject property and owned by the applicant
shall either be:
a. Incorporated into the subject plat; or
b. Deeded to adjacent property owners within the Great River Acres
subdivision.
3
2. As agreed, the applicant shall provide owners of adjacent outlots with quit claim
deeds.
As a condition of final plat approval, compliance with the preceding conditions must be -
demonstrated by the applicants.
Grading or Drainage. As a condition of final plat approval, the submitted grading and
drainage plan must receive approval by the City Engineer.
Driveways. To ensure safe and efficient movement of traffic within the subdivision, the
driveway upon Lot 17, Block 3 should be located proximate to its southern boundary.
Development Agreement. As a condition of final plat approval, the applicant will be
required to enter into a PUD/subdivision development agreement with the City and post
the necessary securities required by it.
CONCLUSION
Review of the Sorenson Ridge final plat finds that the final plat drawing is identical to the
previously approved preliminary plat. Based on the preceding review, our office
recommends approval of the Sorenson Ridge final plat subject to the conditions listed in
the Executive Summary of this report.

SORENS6N RIDGE
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT ZONING AND
SUBDIVISION AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT dated 1996, by and between the CITY OF
OTSEGO, a Minnesota municipal corporation ("City"), and Bulow Inc., a Minnesota
Corporation and Chris and Linda Bulow ("Developers").
1. Request for Planned Unit Development Zoning and Plat Approval. the
Developers Pave asked the City to approve a planned unit development zoning and plat
for Sorens&n Ridge (referred to in this Agreement as the "plat"), the subject land being
legally described as:
SEE ATTACHED EXHIBIT A
2. Conditions of Approval. The City hereby approves the planned unit
development zoning and plat on condition that the Developers enter into this Agreement,
furnish the security required by it, and record the plat with the Wright County Recorder or
Registrar of Titles within one hundred (100) days after the City Council approves the final
plat.
Any restrictive covenants for the subject subdivision shall be submitted to the City
Attorney for approval and shall be recorded prior to plat approval and shall be attached
to this Agreement as Exhibit B.
3. Right to Proceed. Within the plat or land to be platted, the Developers may
not grade or otherwise disturb the earth, remove trees, construct sewer lines, water lines,
streets, utilities, public or private improvements, or any buildings until all the following
conditions have been satisfied: a) this Agreement has been fully executed by both parties
and filed with the Zoning Administrator, and all conditions contained in the Agreement
have been met; b) the necessary security has been received by the City; c) the plat has
been recorded with the Wright County Recorder's Office; and d) the Zoning Administrator
has issued a letter that all conditions have been satisfied and that the Developers may
proceed.
4. Changes in Official Controls. For two (2) years from the date of this
Agreement, no amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan, or official controls shall
apply to or affect the use, development density, lot size, lot layout or dedications of the
approved plat unless required by state or federal law or agreed to in writing by the City and
the Developers. Thereafter, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
to the full extent permitted by State law, the City may require compliance with any
amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan, official controls, platting or dedication
requirements enacted after the date of this Agreement.
5. Development Plans. The plat shall be developed in accordance with the
plans attached to this Agreement and the conditions included herein. If the plans vary
from the written terms of this Agreement, the written terms shall control. The plans are: -
Plan A Final plat for Sorensgh Ridge, prepared by John Oliver Associates,
dated 1996.
Plan B Grading and drainage/erosion control plan, prepared by John Oliver
and Associates, dated 1996.
Plan C Conceptual Resubdivision Plan, prepared by
dated 1996.
6. Improvements. The Developers shall install and pay for the following:
A. Streets.
B. Street lights.
C. Site grading.
D. Underground utilities.
E. Setting of lot and block monuments.
F. Construction surveying and staking.
G. Traffic control signs.
Improvements shall be installed in accordance with City standards, ordinances, and
the plans furnished to the City and approved by the City Engineer. The Developers shall
obtain all necessary permits before proceeding with construction. The Developers shall
provide adequate field inspection personnel to assure acceptable quality control which will
allow certification of the construction work. The City may, at its discretion and the
Developers' expense, have one or more City inspectors and a soil engineer inspect the
work. Within thirty (30) days after the completion of the improvements and before any
security is released, the Developers shall apply the City with a complete set of
reproducible "as built" plans and two complete sets of blue line "as built" plans prepared
in accordance with City standards. Before the security for the completion of utilities is
released, iron monuments must be installed in accordance with Minnesota Statutes
505.02. The Developers' surveyor shall submit a written notice to the City certifying that
the monuments are installed.
2
7. Future Development/Change in Use. Further development of the subject
property or change in use beyond that established as part of current approvals and
addressed by this Agreement shall require detailed development plan review, City Council
approval, and agreement amendment prior to site development and/or construction and/or -
use change.
8. Time of Performance. The Developers shall install all listed improvements
by 31 December 1996. The Developers may request an extension of time from the City.
The City may impose conditions on the extension necessary to ensure performance.
9. Right of Entry. The Developers hereby grant to the City, its agents,
employees, officers and contractors a right of entry to enter the plat to perform any and all
work and inspections necessary or deemed appropriate by the City during the installation
of improvements by Developers or the City, or to make any necessary corrective actions
necessary by the City. Said right of entry continues until the City finally accepts the
improvements and any warranty period on said improvements has terminated.
10. Erosion Control. After the site is rough graded, but before any utility
construction is commenced or further building permits are issued, the erosion control plan,
Plan B, shall be implemented by the Developers and inspected and approved by the City.
If the City Engineer determines that it would be unreasonable to require full implementation
of the erosion control plan prior to utility construction or issuance of certain building
permits, he shall state in writing what construction can take place and what particular
building permits can be issued prior to full implementation. The City may impose
additional erosion control requirements if, in the opinion of the City Engineer, they would
be beneficial. All areas disturbed by the excavation and backfilling operations shall be
reseeded forthwith after the completion of the work in that area. If the Developers do not
comply with the erosion control plan and schedule or any supplementary instructions, the
City may, without notice, take action as it deems appropriate.
11. Grading Plan. Plat grading shall be in accordance with the grading plan.
Ponds, swales, and ditches shall be constructed on public easements or land owned by
the City. Within thirty (30) days after completion of grading and before any security
release, the Developer shall provide the City with an "as built" grading plan including
certification by a registered land surveyor or engineer that all ponds, swales, and ditches
have been constructed on public easements or land owned by the City. "As built" plans
shall include field verified elevations of the following:
A. Cross sections of ponds.
B. Location and elevation of swales and ditches.
C. Lot corners and house pads.
Q
Occupancy permits shall not be issued until the grading and drainage plan is
certified as set out above.
12. Clean Up. The Developers shall promptly clean any and all dirt and debris.
from streets resulting from construction work by the Developers, their agents or assigns.
13. Ownership of Improvements. Upon completion of the work and
construction required by this Agreement, improvements lying within public easements shall
become City property without further notice or action.
14. Streets. The Developers agree to maintain the streets in the plat until the
bituminous surfacing has been accepted by the City. Should the City be required to grade
the street prior to paving, the cost of such grading shall be paid by the Developers and
drawn from the Developers' letter of credit. Should snow plowing be necessary prior to
street paving, the Developers shall be responsible for such plowing. If, upon Developers'
request, the City agrees to plow the streets prior to acceptance, such work will be done
upon agreement that the Developers will hold harmless and indemnify the City from any
and all liability claims related to such work and pay all costs associated with that work.
Any plowing undertaken by the City will constitute no acceptance or evidence of
acceptance of the street(s) in question. Upon final completion of streets and acceptance
by the City, the Developers shall guarantee to the City for a period of one (1) year that
streets have been constructed to City standards. The warranty period shall not commence
until such time as street construction is completed and the street is accepted by the City.
15. Sewage Treatment. No building permit for any lot in the plat will be issued
by the City unless the City Building Inspector has reviewed and approved the design for
each lot's individual on-site sewage disposal system and all the terms and conditions
required by said City Inspector are met by the owner of that lot.
Provision shall be made in front of all houses for future hookup to a municipal
sanitary sewage collection system. Once available, hookup to a municipal sanitary
sewage collection system shall be required of all lots within the subject subdivision. All lot
owners shall waive the right to appeal all assessment charges made in conjunction with
municipal sewage system hookup.
16. City Engineering Administration and Construction Observation. Prior
to the commencement of any work within the plat, the Developers shall initiate a pre -
construction meeting with the City Engineer and any other necessary City staff to review
the construction process and address any outstanding engineering issues. The
Developers shall be accompanied by their contractor and engineer at the meeting to
discuss various details of work for which such parties may be responsible. The
Developers shall pay a fee for consulting engineering administration. City engineering
administration will include monitoring of construction, observation, consultation with the
Gi
Developers and their engineer on status or problems regarding the project, monitoring
during the warranty period and processing of requests for reduction in security. Fees for
this service shall be three (3) percent of the estimated construction costs, assuming normal
construction and project scheduling. The Developers shall pay for construction-
observation performed by the City's consulting engineer. Construction observation shall
include part or full time inspection of proposed street construction and will be billed on
hourly rates estimated to be five (5) percent of the estimated construction cost. In the
event of prolonged construction or unusual problems, the City will notify the Developers
of anticipated cost overruns for administration and observation services.
17. Restrictions. The following restrictions apply to the property and all lots
thereon shall be held, sold and conveyed subject to the following conditions and
restrictions which are for the purpose of protecting the value and desirability of the plat and
insuring that all conditions imposed by the City in this Agreement are properly recorded
against the property. Said conditions shall run with the real property and be binding on
all parties having any right, title or interest in the plat or any part thereof, their heirs,
successors and assigns:
A. The driveway upon Lot 17, Block 3 shall be located proximate to the lot's
southern boundary.
B. Those outlots which lie adjacent to the subject property and owned by the
Developers shall either be:
1. Incorporated into the subject plat; or
2. Deeded to adjacent property owners within the Great River Acres
subdivision.
C. The Developers shall provide owners of adjacent outlots (within Great River
Acres 2nd Addition) with quit claim deeds.
The above conditions shall not be released until the Developers provide the City
with proof that proper deed restrictions have been recorded to enforce those conditions,
and until Developers provide the City with copies of all properly recorded documents
providing proof that the conditions have been fully complied with. The Developers shall
inform all buyers in writing of the specific conditions listed above which are applicable to
the lot which they are purchasing.
18. Security. To ensure compliance with the terms of this Agreement, payment
of real estate taxes including interest and penalties, payment of the costs of all public
improvements, and construction of all public improvements, the Developers shall furnish
the City with an irrevocable letter of credit ("security") for $ ; said amount
calculated as follows:
5
Site grading, drainage, erosion control and
turf establishment
Engineering, surveying, and inspection $
Construction of street and drainage improvements $
TOTAL
$
The issuer and form of the letter of credit shall be subject to City approval. The
letter of credit shall be for a term ending 31 December 1996. The City may draw down the
letter of credit, without notice, for any violation of the terms of this Agreement or upon
receiving notice that the letter of credit will be allowed to lapse prior to the end of the
required terms. It shall be the responsibility of the Developers to inform the City at least
thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the letter of credit of the impending expiration and the
status of the Developers' project relative to the terms of the letter of credit. If, for whatever
reason, a letter of credit lapses prior to complete compliance with this provision, the
Developers shall immediately provide the City with a letter of credit of the same amount
upon notification of expiration. If the required improvements are not completed at least
thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of a letter of credit, the City may also draw down the
letter of credit. If the letter of credit is drawn down, the proceeds shall be used to cure the
default. Upon receipt of proof satisfactory to the City that work has been completed and
financial obligations to the City have been satisfied, with City approval, the security may
be reduced from time to time by ninety (90) percent of the financial obligations that have
been satisfied. Ten (10) percent of the security shall be retained until all improvements
have been completed, all financial obligations to the City satisfied, and the required "as
built" plans have been received by the City.
19. Escrow. The Developers shall pay to the City, in cash or by certified check,
for deposit in an escrow fund, amounts for estimated future administrative and legal fees
as well as City engineering and construction observation. These amounts are calculated
as follows:
Future Administrative and Legal $
Engineering Services $
TOTAL
;1.
This escrow amount must be submitted to the City prior to approval of remaining
building permits. All administrative and legal fees related to plan review, drafting of the
Developers' agreement and any other necessary items shall be paid to the City prior to any
0
building permit approval. Any amounts not utilized from this escrow fund shall be returned
to the Developers, without interest, when all improvements have been completed, all
financial obligations to the City satisfied, and the required "as built" plans have been
received by the City.
20. Storm Water Drainage Fee. Asper adopted City policy, the Developers of
the plat shall pay a fee, as established by the City Engineer, for the effect of the
subdivision upon trunk drainage facilities within the City, minus any additional on site
mitigation of storm water beyond the normal requirement (that the Developers maintain
property facilities on-site to contain runoff, as approved by the City Engineer). The amount
established for the Watershed wherein the plat is located, is $
per acre, minus mitigation credit of $ ,for a total of $ This
amount is to be paid in its entirety prior to City execution of the plat unless deferment of
any portion of the fee is granted by motion of the City Council.
21. Landscaping. The Developers shall plant two (2) trees on every lot in the
plat not already containing two (2) trees. Trees shall be selected from among the following
species, or other species of tree which meet the approval of the City Building Inspector:
Maples Basswood
Linden Birch
Ash Gingko (male only)
Honey locust Kentucky Coffee Tree
Hackberry
The minimum tree size shall be two (2) inches caliper, either bare root in season
or balled and burlapped. The trees may not be planted in a boulevard. Any trees which
can cause a public nuisance or public hazard, such as bug infestation or weak bark are
specifically prohibited.
The Developers shall sod or seed all yards on every lot. The Developers shall
provide not less than six (6) inches of top soil in required front yards or side yards abutting
public rights-of-way. Where slopes lie in excess of ten (10) percent, sodding (staked) shall
be required. Weather permitting, the trees, grass seed and sod shall be planted before
certificates of occupancy are issued. All grass seed shall be maintained so that turf is
established within one (1) year of planting. At the time of application for a building permit
on each individual lot, the Developers shall post a six hundred dollar ($600.00) cash
escrow with the City to guarantee compliance with the landscaping requirements on that
individual lot. If the landscaping is not timely completed, the City may enter the lot,
perform the work, and apply the cash escrow toward the cost. Upon satisfactory
completion of the landscaping, the escrow funds, without interest and less any draw made
by the City, shall be returned to the person who deposited the funds with the City.
7
22. Park and Trail Dedication. The Developers shall pay a cash contribution
of $24,650.00 in satisfaction of the City's park dedication requirements. The charge was -
calculated as follows: 29 new dwelling units (lots) at $850.00 per dwelling unit. The
Developers shall also pay a cash contribution of $3,625.00 in satisfaction of the City's trail
requirements. This charge was calculated as follows: 29 new dwelling units at $125.00
per dwelling unit. These contributions shall be paid before the City approves the final plat
or said final plat approval shall be contingent upon full payment of said fees. In the event
that the City determines that credit should be allowed for any contribution of land made,
the above figure shall be adjusted to reflect any such credit.
23. Street Light Construction. One (1) eight thousand (8,000) lumen light or
equal shall be installed at each street intersection within or abutting the subdivision. Light
standards shall be approved by the City and the Developers shall pay for the operation
and maintenance of the street lights for a period of one (1) year or until such time as the
plat is ninety (90) percent built out, whichever occurs first. The first year of operation and
maintenance shall not commence until such time as the final plat is accepted by the City
and it is formally recorded.
24. Traffic Control Signs. Before the City signs the final plat, the Developers
shall pay to the City $ for installation of traffic control signs. The said
amount was calculated as follows: signs at $100.00 per sign.
25. Wild and Scenic District. The City acknowledges that Wild and Scenic
River District provisions are applicable to the northern 220 feet of the plat and thus this
portion of the plat is subject to review by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
(DNR). It is the finding of the City that the present lot design is in compliance with the
applicable local Wild and Scenic Ordinance in regard to lot size and, further, that it meets
the mitigating criteria for approval of an inconsistent plat. While the City will stand behind
its findings, it acknowledges the possibility that the DNR could deny all or a portion of the
plat. Developers are hereby notified that the City will undertake its responsibility under the
Wild and Scenic statutes to submit the approved plat to the DNR and that in the event of
an adverse ruling by the DNR any and all appeals or other actions in response to that
adverse DNR ruling will be the sole responsibility and at the sole expense of Developers.
26. Warranty. The Developers warrant all work required to be performed by it
against poor material and faulty workmanship for a period of one (1) year after its
completion and acceptance by the City. All trees, grass seed, and sod shall be maintained
and warranted to be alive, of good quality and disease-free for twelve (12) months after
planting. Any replacement shall be warranted for twelve (12) months from the time of
planting. The Developers shall post security acceptable to the City to secure these
warranties.
9
27. Claims. In the event that the City receives claims from labor, material men,
or others that perform work required by this Agreement, and the sums due them have not
been paid, and the laborers, material men or others are seeking payment from the City,
the Developers hereby authorize the City to commence an interpleader action pursuant,
to Rule 22, Minnesota Rules of Civic Procedure for the District Courts, to draw upon the
letters of credit in an amount up to one hundred twenty-five (125) percent of the claim(s)
and deposit the funds in compliance with the Rule, and upon such deposit, the Developers
shall release, discharge, and dismiss the City from any further proceedings as it pertains
to the letters of credit deposited with the District Court, except that the Court shall retain
jurisdiction to determine attorney fees pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that the
Developers desire to make a cash deposit instead of drawing down the letter of credit if
a claim is made as stated above, they shall immediately notify the City of this intent at the
time the claim is made and shall deliver one hundred twenty-five (125) percent of the claim
to the City within ten (10) days of such notice in the form of cash or certified check.
28. Responsibility for Costs.
A. Except as otherwise specified herein, the Developers shall pay all costs
incurred by them or the City in conjunction with the development of the plat,
including but not limited to legal, planning, engineering, and inspection
expenses incurred in connection with development of said plat, the
preparation of this Agreement, and all costs and expenses incurred by the
City in monitoring and inspecting development of the plat.
B. The Developers shall hold the City and its officers and employees harmless
from claims made by itself and third parties for damages sustained or costs
incurred resulting from plat development. The Developers shall indemnify
the City and its officers and employees for all costs, damages, or expenses
which the City may pay or incur in consequence of such claims, including
attorney's fees.
C. The Developers shall reimburse the City for costs incurred in the
enforcement of this Agreement, including engineering fees, attorney's fees,
and costs and disbursements.
D. The Developers shall pay in full all bills submitted to it by the City for
obligations incurred under this Agreement within thirty (30) days after
receipt. If the bills are not paid on time, the City may halt all plat
development work and construction, including but not limited to the issuance
of building permits for lots which the Developers may or may not have sold,
until the bills are paid in full. Bills not paid within thirty (30) days shall accrue
interest at the rate of eighteen (18) percent per year.
01
29. Developers' Default. In the event of default by the Developers as to any
of the work to be performed by it hereunder, the City may, at its option, perform the work
and the Developers shall promptly reimburse the City for any expense incurred by the City,
provided the Developers are first given notice of the work in default, not less than seven -
(7) days in advance. This notice provision does not apply if the work performed by the City
or its contractors is of an emergency nature, as determined at the sole discretion of the
City. Should such emergency work be required, the City will make all reasonable efforts
to notify Developers as soon as possible. When the City does any such work, the City
may, in addition to its other remedies, assess the cost in whole or in part pursuant to any
applicable statutes or ordinances.
30. Miscellaneous.
A. The Developers represent to the City that the plat complies with all City,
County, metropolitan, state and federal laws and regulations, including but
not limited to, Subdivision Ordinances, Zoning Ordinances, and
environmental regulations except where specifically excluded by this
Agreement. If the City determines that the plat does not comply, the City
may, at its option, refuse to allow construction or development work in the
plat until the Developers comply. Upon the City's demand, the Developers
shall cease work until there is compliance.
B. Third parties shall have no recourse against the City under this Agreement.
C. Breach of any of the terms of this Agreement by Developers shall be
grounds for denial or revocation of building permits.
D. If any portion, section, subsection, sentence, clause, paragraph or phrase
of this Agreement is for any reason held invalid, such decision shall not
affect the validity of the remaining portion of this Agreement.
E. If building permits are issued prior to the completion and acceptance of
public improvements, the Developers assume all liability for the costs
resulting in any delay in completion of public improvements and damage to
any public improvements caused by the City, Developers, their contractors,
sub -contractors, material men, employees, agents, or third parties. No one
may occupy a building for which a building permit is issued on either a
temporary or permanent basis until the streets needed for access have been
paved with a bituminous surface, unless a specific exception is approved by
the City.
F. The action or inaction of the City shall not constitute a waiver or amendment
of the provisions of this Agreement. To be binding, amendments or waivers
10
shall be in writing, signed by the parties and approved by written resolution
of the City Council. The City's failure to promptly take legal action to enforce
this Agreement shall not be a waiver or release.
G. This Agreement shall run with the land, shall be recorded against the title to
the property, and shall be binding on all parties having any right, title or
interests to the plat or any part thereof, their heirs, successors, and assigns.
After the Developers have completed the work required of them under this
Agreement, at the Developers' request, the City will execute and deliver to
the Developers a release or partial release(s) of this Agreement.
H. The Developers shall take out and maintain until one (1) year after the City
has accepted the public improvements, public liability and property damage
insurance covering personal injury, including death, and any claims for
property damage which may arise out of the Developers' work or the work
of their sub -contractors or by one directly or indirectly employed by any of
them. Limits for bodily injury and death shall not be less than $500,000.00
for one person and $1,000,000.00 for each occurrence; limits for property
damage shall be not less than $200,000.00 for each occurrence. The City
shall be named as an additional named insured on said policy, and
Developers shall file a copy of the insurance coverage with the City prior to
the City issuing further building permits.
Each right, power or remedy herein conferred upon the City is cumulative
and in addition to every other right, power or remedy, express or implied,
now or hereafter arising, available to City, at law or in equity, or under any
other agreement, and each and every right, power and remedy herein set
forth or otherwise so existing may be exercised from time to time as often
and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the City and shall not be
a waiver of the right to exercise at any time thereafter any other right, power
or remedy.
J. The Developers shall pay for all local costs related to drainage
improvements required to complete the construction according to the plans
and conditions that are a part of this Agreement.
K. Should development of the plat proceed at a pace slower than anticipated,
and for that reason, specific terms of this Agreement become onerous or
unduly burdensome to the Developers, upon their application, the City will
enter into negotiations regarding those specific terms and shall not
unreasonably withhold consent to appropriate changes in the terms of this
Agreement.
11
L. A soil report for on-site sewage disposal systems shall be provided.
M. The Developers shall demonstrate compliance with the 1991 Wetland
Conservation Act.
31. Notices. Required notices to the Developers shall be in writing, and shall

We have reviewed the materials and data sent us for the above plat and have the
following comments and concerns:
1) The City's Standard Specification shall be referenced throughout the project
plans and specification.
2) The Project specification needs to be modified to reflect the City's Specification:
- Seed mixture should be applied at a rate of 50 pounds per acre, not, 35
pounds per acre.
- Fertilizer should be applied at a rate of 500 pounds per acre, not 400
pounds per acre.
- Type I mulch should be applied at a rate of 2 tons per acre, the Developer's
Specifications do not specify a rate.
- There may be other differences, however, City's Specification will stand as
the minimum allowed.
3. Drainage Issues
• The drainage calculations are in general conformity to the requirements of
the City. The drainage pond appears adequate to reduce off-site drainage
to historic flow rates. The pond does not meet the depth requirements of
the BMP's, however, an addtional 0.44 acre/foot of dead storage has been
provided. This extra dead storage should compensate for the lack of depth.

• The minimum size of storm sewer allowed in the City is 15". Two 12"
leads are shown on the plans, these should be revised to 15".
The remainder of the storm sewer sizing appears adequate.
• The drainage report indicates that 0.21 acres will flow off the site to the
west. This should be okay, as the wings of the existing 94th Street cul-de-
sac will be cut off, reducing the existing runoff from that plat.
• We require a 20' drainage and utility easement adjacent to plat or unplatted
land that does not have a similar easement. We assume Bulow Estates has
at least a 10 foot easement. Obviously, this is not necessary on the north
side and on the east side except for the strip of plat not adjacent to the
street. The south side will require the easement to 20 feet.
• A description of the work involving the service road is included in the
specifications, this should be adequate.
• The curve warning signs should be called out on the plans and described in
the specifications. The sign symbols show up on the plans, but no further
information is provided.
• The street light is shown on the plan.
•
Work within the Wright County ROW is subject to Wright- County's
requirement and review. The City will require a copy of the County permit.
A pre -construction meeting is required. The Developer is responsible for requesting the
pre -construction meeting. The developers agreement must be signed and all payment
to the City satisfied before the preconstruction meeting can be held.
The Developer is fully responsible for erosion and sediment control which includes
wind and stormwater erosion. Any solid waste dumps or debris liter on the site shall
be disposed of as per the state rules and local ordinances.
Our review is performed in general terms. Should error or omissions be found in the
plans or specification, it shall be the Developers responsibility to makthe necessary

Conditional Use
Permit Approval
CITY OF OTSEGO
WRIGHT COUNTY, MINNESOTA
RE: FINDINGS OF FACT
AND DECISION
Application of Mr. Floyd Roden for a conditional use permit to allow for "one per forty"
transfer of development rights within an A-1, Agricultural Rural Service Zoning District.
On 13 May 1996, the Otsego City Council met at its regularly scheduled meeting to
consider the application of Mr. Floyd Roden for a conditional use permit to allow the
aforementioned.
Based upon the application, the recommendation of the Planning Commission and the
evidence received, the City Council now makes the following findings of fact and decision.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to allow a "one per forty"
transfer of development rights within an A-1, Agricultural Rural Service Zoning
District.
2. The legal description of the source of the density transfer is as follows:
See Attached Exhibit A
3. The legal description of the property to which the development right is being
transferred is as follows:
See Attached Exhibit B
4. Section 20-4-2.F of the Zoning Ordinance directs the Planning Commission and
City Council to consider seven possible adverse effects of the requested rezoning.
The seven effects and the findings regarding them are:
a. The proposed action's consistency with the specific policies and
provisions of the official City Comprehensive Plan.
The resulting "one per forty" density which shall result from the proposed
density transfer is consistent with the provisions of the City's Comprehensive
Plan.
b. The proposed use's compatibility with present and future land uses of
the area.
Land uses in this area primarily consist of agricultural activities on large
parcels of land, usually containing single family homes. The proposal to
construct a single family home on a 2.5 acre lot is compatible with the
surrounding land uses.
C. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards
contained herein (i.e., parking, loading, noise, etc.).
As a condition of pending subdivision approval, all applicable performance
standards shall be upheld.
d. The proposed use's effect upon the area in which it is proposed.
The proposal is not anticipated to adversely affect the neighborhood. The
proposed use and density is compatible with the surrounding area.
e. The proposed use's impact upon property values of the area in which
it is proposed.
While a detailed analysis has not been conducted, similar situations have
demonstrated no negative impact upon area property values. In fact, the
construction of a new home may increase area property values.
f. Traffic generation by the proposed use in relation to capabilities of
streets serving the property.
Traffic generated by the proposed use is within the capabilities of 80th Street
which is to serve the property.
g. The proposed use's impact upon existing public services and facilities
including parks, streets, and utilities, and its potential to overburden
the City's service capacity.
The proposed density transfer will not increase the overall allowed density
in the area. Therefore, the proposal shall not negatively impact existing
public services and facilities.
5. The planning report dated 23 April 1996, prepared by Northwest Associated
Consultants, Inc., is incorporated herein.
X
6. On 1 May, the Otsego Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to consider
the proposed conditional use permit preceded by published and mailed notice.
Upon review of the conditional use permit application and evidence received, the
Otsego Planning Commission closed the public hearing and recommended that the
City Council approve the conditional use permit based on the aforementioned
findings.
DECISION
Based on the foregoing considerations and applicable ordinances, the applicant's
requested fdr a conditional use permit to allow a "one per forty" transfer of development
rights in an A-1 Zoning District is approved in its present form and subject to the following
stipulations:
A site plan (based on a certificate of survey) is submitted and found to comply with
applicable A-1 District performance standards.
2. Consideration is given to shifting the proposed building site + 1,300 feet to the west
to comply with the "clustering" directive of the Zoning Ordinance or ± 1,000 feet to
the east to lessen agricultural activity disruption.. This issue should be subject to
comment/recommendation by the City Engineer.
3. The properties involved in the development rights transfer are under the same
ownership.
4. The applicant pursue subdivision of the property in a manner substantially similar
to that conceptually illustrated upon Exhibit C of the Northwest Associated

7.5. Discussion of Immediate Service Area Line Change (Cont from
4/22/96)
Background:
This item was on the last Council Agenda to discuss and see what should be done as far as the line
change. The Council directed the Professional and City Staff to meet with Willie and Hilary to discuss
the possibilities and try to be creative with a solution. Attached is a letter from Andy Mac Arthur
regarding the PUD, which was the most creative the ordinance allows us to get. Attached also is a letter
from Hilary Barry to Mayor Freske for your information. The Staff met with Hilary and Willie at the
regular Staff Meeting on Wed, May 8, 1996 and tried to be creative. We had a long discussion.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
First of all, the Council needs to decide if they think a line change of the immediate service area or a
PUD is appropriate at this time, taking into consideration that if a line change is done, (from present
Immediate Service Area to 70TH ST from Odean East and the Long Range Urban Service Area being
moved from 70TH ST to the Frankfort boarder, it would probably need to be supported by an
Engineering Sewer Study showing area and how it would develop. Also a meeting with residents in that
area would probably be needed. Bob Kirmis, Larry Koshak, and Andy MacArthur have more
information and input on this.

RE: Immediate Urban Service Area Boundary Adjustment
Dear Council Members:
At the City Council meeting on April 22 Bob Kirmis raised the issue
of Council consideration of adjustment of the Immediate Urban
Service Boundary in light of the proposed sewer plant within the
City. The issue was raised because of the continuing problems that
staff were experiencing with a Comprehensive Plan based upon the
idea that sewer service would be delivered from Elk River, and
development requests that do not fit into the current Comprehensive
Plan but that do seem to fit into the City's future plans with a
sewer facility.
This request was brought forward by general inquiries from
Developers, as well as the specific inquiry which was contained in
the Council packet at that meeting. At the end of the discussion
ha Council dletermined ::ha'c they would table consideration of the
immediate urban service boundary and then directed the staff to
meet with those developers making the specific request in order to
arrive at a creative method of facilitating development.
The only creative method of facilitating development in this case
is Planned Unit Development or PUD. The City has recently given
preliminary approval to a PUD development along Highway 39, and
another PUD is also under consideration. This raises the concern
that the City is becoming overly dependent on this form of
approval.
PUD was created for the purposes of addressing unique situations
Letter to Otsego City Council
April 29, 1996
Page 2
where the imposition of the standard City ordinances would create
difficulty in developing property which should otherwise be
developed.
It appears that the Council is reluctant to address the issue of
moving the line until a complete commitment has been made to the
proposed sewer facility. This reluctance is understandable in light
of the fact that the City has not yet totally committed to the
project and due to the present annexation situation with St.
Michael, Frankfort Township and Albertville. However, in the mean
time the various staff are left in a Catch 22 situation when
dealing with development requests. We are left with the present
Comprehensive Plan bur must honestly acknowledge that major
portions of that plan are most likely invalid due to the sewer
situation.
It would appear that the following facts are well established:
1. That if and when a sewer plant is constructed it must be a plant
that discharges into the Crow River, thus limiting its location
within the City substantially.
2. That residential development will have to occur in that area
most immediately accessible to the plant.
3. That a certain rate of residential development will have to be
maintained in order to retire the debt for the facility.
4. That the proposed residential development will have to occur in
an area along the proposed trunk line and where there is available
open land.
5. That development will have to be directed into this area and
strongly discouraged in other areas of the City where it may be
more profitable for a Developer to operate.
6. That the City will not have full control of the timing of the
proposed development, but should encourage it within the designated
area.
Thus, it may not be such a hard decision to determine the location
of a proposed amended immediate urban service line, or proposed
sewer service line.
The adoption by the City of such a sewer study map, even if
conceptual in nature, would give us a better basis for providing
direction to Developers and would provide a consistent rationale
for amendments to Immediate Service Area, amendment to
Comprehensive Plan and rezoning.
Letter to Otsego City Council
April 29, 1996
Page 3
The continued use of PUD could result in the inability of the City
to successfully deny applications for the same in areas where
development will not ultimately be encouraged. The continued use of
PUD could also result in a situation wherein all Development
requests would be made in terms of PUD, for reasons not intended by
the City Zoning Ordinance.
It is the purpose of this letter to convey to the Council some of
my concerns regarding this matter. It is my feeling that for
various reasons the City should attempt to facilitate the request
by those individual developers recently received. However, I would
like the City to proceed on the cleanest and easiest course
possible. It is my feeling that to justify a PUD on the subject
property an established sewer plan or its equivalent is necessary.
If you have any questions regarding this matter please feel free to
contact me.
Very truly yours,

Section 29
HOME EXTENDED BUSINESSES:
Section
20-29-1: Purpose: The purpose of this subsection is to prevent unfair competition with
business districts and to provide a means through the establishment of specific
standards and procedures by which home extended businesses can be
conducted 1 rresidential and agricultural districts without jeopardizing the
residential character or health, safety and general welfare of the surrounding
neighborhood. In addition, this subsection is intended to provide a mechanism
enabling the distinction between permitted home extended businesses, so that in
most cases, permitted home extended businesses may be allowed through an
administrative process rather than by an interim use permit.
20-29-2: Application: Subject to the Non -Conforming Use Section and other applicable
provisions of this Chapter, all occupations conducted in the home shall comply
with the provisions of this Chapter. This Section shall not be construed,
however, to apply to home occupations related to farming.
20-29-3: Prohibited Activities: No home extended business (permitted or special)
shall:
a. Constitute afire hazard to neighboring residences, adversely affect
neighboring property values, or constitute a nuisance or otherwise be
detrimental to the neighbors because of excessive traffic, noise, light, glare,
fumes, odor, electrical interference, vibration, dust and other nuisance or safety
hazards.
b. Adversely impact governmental facilities and services, including roads,
sanitary sewer, water, storm drainage, garbage service, police and fire.
c. Adversely affect sensitive environmental features including lakes, surface and
underground water supply and quality, wetlands, slopes, flood plains and soils,
or other factors as found relevant by the City.
d. Involve the use of hazardous materials or activities.
e.e. Involve any of the following: body shops, welding, ammunition
manufacturing , flea markets, motor vehicle
repairs or sales massage or escort business or other adult oriented businesses as
defined by this rdinance, or other objectionable uses as determined by the City
Council.
U
f. There shall be no exterior evidence of the home extended business such
as displays, exterior storage of business equipment, materials, merchandise,
inventory or heavy equipment, domestic articles such as lawnmowers, boats,
cars, etc. if buildings exist, with the exception of a sign.
20.29-4: Permitted Home Extended Business License: Licenses for home extended
businesses shall be issued subject to the conditions of this Section, other
applicable City Ordinances, Federal and State Law. A "Permitted Home
Extended Business License" may be issued by the Zoning Administrator
or their agent based on proof of compliance with the provisions of this
Subsection. Application for the "Permitted Home Extended Business
License" shall be accompanied by a fee as adopted by the City Council
by resolution from time to time. The yearly renewal fee shall be set by
the City Council by resolution from time to time. Licenses issued are
not transferable. If the Zoning Administrator denies a permitted home
extended business license to an applicant, the applicant may appeal the
decision to the City Council. The license shall remain in force and effect
until such time as the activity has ceased for a period of one (1) year,
there has been a change in conditions or violation, there is a change of
occupancy on the property or until such time as the provisions of this
Section have been changed. Permitted home extended businesses are
subject to the following criteria:
a. The occupation shall be carried on entirely within the dwelling unit,
attached garage or detached accessory structure.
b. No permitted home extended business shall require internal or external
construction features not customarily found in dwellings.
c. A maximum of one (1) full-time employee, or equivalent, other than
those persons who customarily reside on the premises shall be employed.
This provision shall not apply where the permitted home
is a meeting place for employees and the work is done off -premise.
d. No permitted home extended business shall be serviced by delivery
vehicles larger than 26,000 pounds gross vehicle weight. In no instance
shall the frequency of the deliveries adversely affect the character of the
uses permitted in the zoning district.
e. No home extended business shall be conducted between the hours of
10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., or as otherwise permitted by the City.
f. Permitted home extended businesses shall not create a parking demand
in excess of that which can be accommodated in an existing driveway, i
where no vehicle is parked closer than fifteen (15) feet from the edge of
right-of-way.
g. The operation of any wholesale or retail business, unless it is conducted
entirely by mail, and does not involve the sale, shipment, or delivery of
merchandise on the premise, is prohibited. On-site sales shall be limited to
those clearly incidental to services provided by the business.
h. Permitted home extended businesses may not involve the repair or use
of equipment which is not normally found in a residential area; except that
equipment which is typically found in an office may be used.

Engineer's Agenda Items
City Council Meeting
May 13, 1996
9.1 CONSIDERATION OF JOHN & KEVIN LEFEBVRE PROPOSAL
This item involves two separate yet related issues with the John
Lefebvre's land adjacent to 85th and north of the Elementary school.
John had asked for a deferment of assessment and interest for 5 year,
which was granted by Council. Larry Fornier and Larry Koshak met with
the Lefebvre's also to discuss with them acquisition of bike trials for the
96 ISTEA Grant Project.
Find enclosed the letter than summarizes the meeting.
Since we need to acquire the fee title to the trail by July 1, we
recommend consideration of this issue at this time.
9.2 REVIEW OF ISLAND VIEW ESTATES PAVING PROJECT APPRAISAL
Mr. Malcom Watson agreed to prepare a report on the subject of benefit
to the landowners in Island View Estates having a paved street as
opposed to the present gravel street.
Enclosed is Mr. Watson's report for your review. Malcolm will attend the
council meeting to discuss his findings.
The contractor is willing to extend to award time should that be
necessary to hold a new hearing or to obtain more information.
9.3 , CONSIDER AWARD OF BID FOR:
a: Mississippi Shores Overlay
b: Island View Estates Paving Project
These projects were bid together and the lowest responsible bidder
should be awarded both projects, if the council proceeds on both
projects. If one project is abandon then the other project must be re -bid
separately. We cannot award the Mississippi Shores project to the
lowest bidder without violating the intent of the specification.
Separate resolutions are available in this packet for consideration of
award.
9.4 FOR YOUR INFORMATION ONLY
a. Municipal Well
New monthly flow data indicated that the average capacity of the
pressure tanks in the school is 450 gallons. This is a positive result and
shows a major increase since the meeting held to discuss the low
capacity of the pressure tanks. This revised condition allows the pumps
to rest at least a 1 1/2 minutes before being turned on and therefore
reduces the wear on the pump and motor.
b. Mn/DOT Construction -TH 101
John Harwood and Larry Koshak met with Mn/DOT officials on 4/23/96
on the following issue concerning the construction project on THE (Crow '
River to CSAH 42)
- Drainage
We failed to convince Mn/DOT to increase the size of storm sewer
pipe across the new highway. However, the new storm water
storage ponds being created along the new highway will add to
the storage needs in the area.
- Northern Natural Gas Line Relocation
We are still working with Mn/DOT and Northern Natural Gas
Company to get the most acceptable location of the pipeline in
event that Quale Avenue is completed at the intersection with
CSAH37 west of THE. It is anticipated this relocation can be done
without City funds.
Quam Avenue
Mn/DOT is building the section of access road from CSAH 36 to
62nd Street. The greater portion of Quam Avenue in Frankfort
Twp. will be upgraded. However, the remainder will be
constructed new in the northerly portion of Frankfort Twp. and the
rest in Otsego to 62nd Street.
Due to construction at CSAH36 and THE a detour will be
necessary on Quam Avenue to THE via 62nd Street. Mn/DOT will
be paving 62nd Street from the intersection with Quam Avenue to
TH 101. That normally would be great for the City and residences.
However, that portion of 62nd Street was built on the south 33 ft.
of Street R.O.W. If the street was to be paved it should be
brought up to City standards and then paved. According to the
Mn/DOT we have perhaps three options:
Let them pave the street as is and leave it off center;
- Let them pave the street and have the pavement removed
after the detour is no longer needed;
This portion of the street could be regraded for Otsego by
Mn/DOT, paid for by the City and then paved by Mn/DOT
to City Standards.
The problem with the last option is that if the City's policy is to
assess local road improvements to those benefitting then a hearing
would be necessary to assess the landowners for a paved street.
The City may have some obligation to center the present street in
the R.O.W. but the pavement in my opinion is a benefit to the
landowners. We need to get back to Mn/DOT if the Council wants
something other than alternative #1 .
C. Monitoring Wells
Ground water monitoring wells, their installation, maintenance and
testing costs perhaps could be financed several ways, however, two that
appear to be possible are as follows:
In the Developers agreement the developer would be required to
contribute to a fund established for the installation, maintenance
and testing Monitors Wells. A per lot impact fee would be one
possible method.
The Stormwater Utility Fee proposal is intended to collect funds
for Operation & Maintenance of the Storm Water System, the
wells could be financed through the same source.
Shallow wells like the ones presently in Otsego would cost for installation
about $2000. The City presently in the Northeast area (immediate urban
service) would need about 6 more wells to do an adequate ground water
pollution monitoring program. Annual testing could run for 9 wells about
$800-51000 year.
d. Public Work
a) Cracking Filling - It has been determined by the Public Work
Committee to not Seal Coat any paved streets this year. The fund
for that will be directed to crack filling and repairs on the asphalt
street. We are taking quotes at our office on May 17, 1996, the
same time Frankfort Twp. will be taking quotes for the crack
filling. We did this to get the best price for the two communities.
We could not bid the two as one because of the $25,000 upper
limit on quotes.
The past winter and spring has produced more cracks and forced
them wider than has happened in a long time. We will do crack
filling on the collector street first and then others as money is
available based on quotes. We will bring the quotes back to the
council for award at the 5/28/96 meeting.
b) 80th Street (Marlow Ave. to CSAH 1 9)
This paved street has "frost boils" in at least three areas. The
paved surface on most this section of street is cracked both
longitudinally and transverse into about 4-6 inch blocks. Any of
the block can be pried loose. The street is at a critical point. It is
doubtful that the present asphalt can be saved by an overlay. It
is our opinion that the street needs a total reconstruction.
Drainage needs to be improved and the subgrade upgraded to hold
a 9 ton street. The project will be costly. Options are:
1) Continue to patch as needed. That could involve $10,000 -
$20,000 for the patching just for this year.
2) Invite the landowners to an informal meeting to discuss
options for future upgrade providing some rough cost.
We suggest the Public Works committee meet on the site to
review the situation.

RE: John & Kevin Lefebvre Deferment of Assessments
Dear Elaine:
Item 9.1
3601 Thurston Avenue
Anoka, Minnesota 55303
612/42 7-5860
Fax 612/427-3401
Councilman Larry Fornier and I met with John and Kevin at John's Farm on Thursday
at 7:00 pm to approximately 9:00 pm.
We discussed briefly the amended agreement which was prepared to allow deferment
of interest on the 85th Street assessment for 5 years.
The subject of the City acquiring fee title to property for bike paths on John and
Kevin's property was discussed. Larry approached the owners with the concept of
acquiring property. I presented the location of the ISTEA Trail proposal and the
preliminary graphics to show them what was being proposed.
After further discussion compensation for the proposed acquisition was brought up
It was suggested by Larry that perhaps the City would be willing to forgive the
deferred interest on the assessments for title to the bike path. That suggestion
appeared to be acceptable to the owners. The owners then offered to sell the wooded
area in the Southwest corner of the NW 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of Section 22. The land in
that area is wooded and considered to be suitable for Park land. There is
approximately 2 acres available according to John & Kevin.
It was then suggested by Larry that one of the assessments be considered to be
forgiven to transfer the Park land to the City of Otsego.

Page 2
The interest to be forgiven for 5 years @ 9% on $30,938.00 is $2784.42 per year or
$13,922.10 in total. The principal amount of one street assessment is $1 5,469.00.
he total forgiveness on the proposed Park and bike path acquisition is $29,391 .10.
The total land area to be acquired is approximately 3 acres.
John Lefebvre stated that he was interested in having the rest of the assessment
forgiven also, and therefore, not have any assessment or interest payments. He was
told that the proposal would be brought before the City Council for consideration.
There is a complexity in the trail proposal in that John wishes to keep the farm road
open and useable. It was agreed by those of us at the meeting that the bike trail had
to go on the east side of the farm road. The farm road needed at least 33 feet for
access. The City would build the bike trail in 17 feet east of the 33 feet. The total
width of the fee title would be 50 feet. The bike trail would be fenced.
Problems would arise when the property was sold for development and the bike path
lie between a 33' strip and the rest of the property. It may be necessary to cause
some agreement to be made that the developers who purchases the property will need
to relocate the bike path.
The farm road access is necessary to reach land locked property owned by the
Lefebrve's south and west of the school.
John Lefebvre also expressed several grievances he wished the City to look into and
respond to him.
These grievances are:
1. Wind blown debris (papers, etc.) from neighboring Country Ridge plat causes
a mess in the paper in the Lefebrve yard. Could the City do something about
controlling this matter?
2. Creosote Timbers in neighbors yard are a concern due to possible pollution.
Wants to know what can be done about removing the timbers.
3. The animal care was questioned on the same property that has the creosote
timbers. Horses appear to be under feed according to John. Could someone
look into this matter?

4. Would petition the City to place an 85th Avenue sign on CSAH42. Present
signs are located only on 85th Street.
5. Due to snow plowing last winter the fences along 85th Street are loose. John
would like to have City tighten fences up.
Perhaps the staff can reply to John on the above grievances. If you have questions,
please contact Larry Fornier or myself on the meeting.

City of Otsego
8899 Nashua Avenue
Elk River P.O., MN 55330
Dear Councilmembers:
In accordance with your request for an evaluation of the proposal for an evaluation of the proposed bituminous
street construction in the Island View Estate Additions, I have proceeded as follows:
1. I viewed the streets included in the proposed improvement with Engineer Koshak on April 26, 1996.
2. We toured the Parkwood and Antelope Park Additions where the streets are already bituminous surfaced
similar to what is proposed for Island View Estates.
3. I checked out lots currently for sale and lots where homes have been constructed recently.
4. I went through the Multiple Listing Service sales of vacant residential sites for the past two years.
5. I received property I.D. numbers on parcels from Mr. Koshak and from Judy Hudson in the Otsego City
Office to confirm lot locations.
6. I discussed with Mr. Koshak the problem of unstable soil conditions in the Island View Estates Addition
as compared with the stable/granular soils in Antelope Park.
7. I called the realtors who had listed Island View Sites and reviewed the probable selling prices in an
unpaved street area. Edina Realty sent me data on 10 Island View Home Sales.
8. I contacted Mr. George Sanford of Zeigler Construction company and discussed what their general
estimate of land value is on the property sales which were on improved sites in Antelope Park.
9. I reviewed the current county assessors estimated market values on lands in the Antelope Park Add.
where new homes were recently built.
10. I prepared a grid of lot values in Island View as an area of gravel streets and a grid of lot values in the
Antelope Park Addition as an area of bituminous surfaced streets.
It is my opinion based on the foregoing research that after adjusting for soil stabilization, subdivision location,
WE shapes, and time of sales that the remaining differential factor is the dust -free, low maintenance bituminous
streets. The class 5 (gravel) area lots would have a probable market value of $15.000 to $18,000 per building
site, whereas similar sites on a bituminous roadway would fall in the $19,000 to $24,000 range or $4,000 to
$6,000 more due to the bituminous road .surfacing.
As noted heroin, this is my evaluation of the benefit derived to a building site having a low maintenance, dust
free, bituminous strut to serve each site. This estimate assumes an "entire project with no streets eliminated
as that would mean continual need for blading in the "neighbrorhood" with the accompanying dust and
inconvenience.
I further note that the roadway design with a deep granular base and good bituminous mat thickness should give
the area a long-term maintenance free roadway. The drainage design with proper driveway culverts and
stabilized private drives will also enhance the over-all project.
The average benefit should be about $5,000 per building site.

RE: Feedlot Moratorium Ordinance
Dear Council Members:
Enclosed for your review and possible action at this or the next
City Council meeting is a redrafted Interim Ordinance Establishing
A Moratorium On Feedlots Within The City Of Otsego. I am presenting
this for your consideration due to the present state of the
proceedings at the Planning Commission. The commission is
attempting to come to some agreement on setbacks, animal unit
limitations, and other sections of the ordinance.
At the most recent meeting they directed staff to incorporate into
ordinance form the result of their various discussions on various
items. While we will endeavor to do that as accurately as possible,
it is apparent that it may be very difficult for the Planning
Commission to arrive at some kind of consensus for a recommendation
to pass on to the Council. It is very possible that they may not be
able to arrive at a recommendation prior to the termination date of
the present moratorium, or that it may come up to the Council and
the Council will not have adequate time to properly review the
proposed ordinance.
I do not think it is in anyone's best interest to come to a hurried
resolution to this matter, so it would be my recommendation that a
new moratorium be established for at least a three month period in
order to come to some agreement on the ordinance. From what I have
been told about the situation in other jurisdictions, it is not
unusual for the process of reformulating such an ordinance to take
a significant amount of time.

When there has been sufficient time to have a public hearing I have
recommended that the City do so for consideration of a moratorium,
however, the Council should be aware that there is no legal
requirement for a public hearing on a moratorium interim ordinance
since it is separate from those planning statutes that specifically
require a public hearing.
This matter is being brought to your attention due to the present
unresolved situation at the planning commission, the impending
termination of the present moratorium on June 6, and because I will
not be available to attend the City Council meeting on May 28.
If you have any questions regarding this matter I will be available
to answer them at the City Council meeting on May 13.

RESOLUTION ADOPTING AN INTERIM ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A MORATORIUM
ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF COMMERCIAL FEEDLOTS WITHIN THE CITY OF
OTSEGO
WHEREAS, the Otsego City Council has previously determined that in
order to protect the planning process and insure the health,
safety, and welfare of the citizens of Otsego that the presently
existing ordinances and controls regarding the establishment of
Commercial Feedlots within the City need to be reevaluated; and
WHEREAS, the Council had directed staff to present a report to the
City outlining problems within the existing ordinances, and
possible changes and amendments to said ordinances; and
WHEREAS, the Council had further directed that a Citizen's
Committee be established to review the ordinances and related
issues and report to the Council regarding any proposals for change
in local controls that they might arrive at; and
WHEREAS, a previous application for a Commercial Feedlot
Conditional Use Permit, submitted for consideration by the City,
has brought forth concerns regarding the compatibility of
commercial feedlots with residential and other uses, concerns about
reduction of the property value of adjoining residents due to
proximity to such a facility, concerns about the effect of possible
changes to the City Comprehensive Plan and controls due to
availability of sewer and water, and the advisability of allowing
such uses in an area which may become primarily residential, as
well as concerns about the effectiveness of existing ordinances in
properly regulating such a facility; and
WHEREAS, the above mentioned concerns required the City to study
possible changes to existing controls; and
WHEREAS, the City needed a period of time in which to conduct these
studies and to implement any needed changes; and
WHEREAS, in order to facilitate proper review of proposed ordinance
changes the Otsego City Council passed an interim ordinance,
effective December 6, 1995 until June 6, 1996; and
WHEREAS, the Citizen's Committee has met and submitted their
proposed ordinance to the City, the Planning Commission has heard
public testimony and is in the process of making changes to the
proposed ordinance, and has recently directed staff to come back
with a revised version of the ordinance for the next regular
planning commission meeting; and
WHEREAS, it does not appear that the City will have adequate time
prior to the termination of that moratorium established by previous
Interim Ordinance to complete needed revisions in said ordinance;
and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that no Commercial
Feedlots should be established within the City until these issues
have been fully studied and proper amendments to the City
ordinances have been implemented; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that additional time is
needed to complete proper amendments to the ordinance.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

ILTEM NUMBER: ITEM DESCRIPTION: PREPARED BY:
10.1. Consider Certification of Local Performance Measures - Aid
Payable in 1997.
Background:
Attached is information Re: Certification of Local Performance Measures for Local Performance Aid
Payable in 1997, sent to us by the Department of Revenue property tax division. I called Larry Bewley
to ask him more questions as to how this works and to make sure what we need to do. He said that
The bottom line on this is that we will be receiving a permanent reduction in homestead and agricultural
credit aid (HACA). The HACA reduction applies whether or not the city is eligible to receive LPA.
At this point, for this year, all we need to do is sign up for this and indicate we are in the process of
working on a process. Next April we will need to recertify. The League of MN Cities will have more
information on this as the year progresses, and as of now there are no models, as it has not been done
before. It is up to the City of Otsego to determine this and is a way of looking at people as to if they are
doing an efficient job for the money paid. He said if we don't sign up, we don't get the HACA money
that has been reduced. (In other words, it is a way to control this by withholding money)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the certification of Local Performance Measures for
Local Performance Aid Payable in 1997. The Mayor and one Council Member need to sign it.
10.2. Discussion of Sign for John Daniels Industrial Site on I-94 and Kadler.
BACKGROUND:
Mayor Freske asked to have this issue on for discussion of the Council. We have had this on prior
agendas and John Daniels and his sign company were asked to apply for an amendment to the ordinance
for the size of sign he wants, as it does not meet the regulations. There was also some discussion of his
use of the facilities for a truck wash and lube repair area, and it not being in his original application, and
not allowed in the Industrial area. John Daniels had also called me and said he did not think he was
getting fair treatment from the City. He said he felt we did not want him or Industrial or Commercial
businesses in the City of Otsego. I assured him we did. He also said he may want to be annexed into
Albertville if he is not treated any better than this.
This is on for further discussion by the Council and the Mayor explain further.

RE: CERTIFICATION OF LOCAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES
FOR LOCAL PERFORMANCE AID PAYABLE IN 1997
Laws 1996, Chapter 471, Article 3, Section 48 provides for a new state aid for all
qualifying counties and cities beginning in calendar year 1997. This new aid is called
Local Performance Aid (LPA).
In order to qualify for this new aid, your city must have a system of performance.
measures for services provided by the city, and must regularly compile and present these
measures to the city council at least once per year. If there is currently no system of
performance measures in place, your city may still qualify for this aid if it is in the
process of developing and implementing a system of performance measures. However,
eligibility based upon being in the process of development may not be used for more than
two consecutive years.
For the purpose of the enclosed certification form, "in the process" may include having
the subject of performance measures on the agenda of the city council. The city should
then use the time period between this year's certification and next year's certification to
develop basic measures such as "workload," unless it has already moved beyond this
stage. The second year of "in the process" must be used to move to a higher level of
performance measurement, such as measuring efficiency and effectiveness.
All cities should be able to qualify to receive LPA in the first year of the aid
program.
This new aid will be determined as follows for calendar year 1997: The total amount of
aid available for cities is $441,735 plus $1 times the most recent population of each
qualifying city. A per capita aid amount is then determined by dividing the total aid
available by the total population of all cities that qualify for the aid. Each qualifying city
would then receive an aid amount based on its vopulation times the per capita aid
amount. It should be noted that the $441,735 is appropriated from the general fund, and
the additional amount ($1 times the most recent population of each city) is a permanent
reduction in each city's homestead and agricultural credit aid (HACA). The HACA
reduction applies whether or not the city is eligible to receive LPA.
Distribution of this new aid will be based on yearly certifications for each qualifying city.
Cities will be required to submit an annual certification in order to receive LPA payable
in calendar year 1997 and subsequent years.
LPA will be paid in two equal installments on July 20 and December 26 of each year,
beginning in 1997. Qualifying cities will receive a certification of their 1997 LPA by
July 31, 1996.

Dear Elaine:

Fax 612/427-3401
I have reviewed the invoices paid by the City for the engineering review of the above
mentioned plat.
The applicants objected to the inclusion our fee to set up the pond easements on the
property. We will revise our invoice OT2134a to reflect the reduction of $431 .78.
We will then credit the City that amount in form of a check.
The developers should note that the turn lane issue which was resolved at Wright
County to their benefit was $626.51. Therefore, the engineering cost to review the
preliminary plat was $2406.32, which includes several reviews of revised plans. This
amount does not include the Turn Lane issue.
I hope this meets with a satisfactory response from the Developers. Please contact
if you have questions.
Yours truly,
