maintaining affordable housing options. Through 2025, the City will have received $167,965 and the City

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES — September 23, 2025
The City has received two requests for use of the funds — one from the HRA and the other from Crow River
Habitat for Humanity. The HRA is asking for usaSe of all of the funds for their programs and Crow River
Habitat for Humanity is asking for $80,000 to aid in the remodel of a home. Both agencies have submitted
written requests. Staff is seeking the Council's direction on how to allocate these funds.
Bayley Schluter, Crow River Habitat for Humanity Executive Director, presented before the Council. Ms.
Schluter explained that a remodel of a home is the next project which the organization has the financing for,
however with the market volatility, having extra funds available would be ideal. Ms. Schluter stated if the
affordable housing aid funding wouldn't be needed for the remodel, the funds would be used for the next
construction project. The funds would only be used for projects completed in Hutchinson.
Judy Flemming, HRA Executive Director, presented before the Council. Ms. Flemming explained the
various programs that the HRA has offered in the past and continues to offer and the broad diversification of
households they have assisted.
The Council asked that this item come back to the Council at the next meeting for consideration. Staff will
bring forth a couple of options for the Council to consider — including splitting the funds between the two
organizations.

10. APPROVE/DENY RESOLUTION NO. 15912 — RESOLUTION RELATING TO THE ISSUANCE OF
GENERAL OBLIGATION STREET RECONSTRUCTION AND IMPROVEMENT BONDS, SERIES
2025A
Andy Reid, Finance Director, introduced Nick Anhut of Ehlers, the City's financial advisor. Mr. Reid noted
that a bond sale was held today which Mr. Anhut will cover and review. The bonds will fund the
infrastructure improvement projects of Dale Street and Hassan Street. Mr. Reid reviewed the funding for
the projects which comes from Municipal State Aid, water, sewer, storm water, assessments and bonding.
Mr. Anhut presented before the Council. Mr. Anhut noted that bids were opened today for the bond sale.
Seven bids were received with the low bid of 3.2941% coming from Baird. The par amount of the bonds is
$2,195,000. The reduction in bonding amount reflects the buyer paying extra in order to receive higher
coupon rates on the bonds which then the City uses the premium monies to buy down the par value of the
offering, resulting in lower debt. Mr. Anhut reviewed the bid tabulation, debt service schedule, levy
calculation and assessment revenues. The City's overall AA- rating was reaffirmed by Standard & Poor.
The affirmed rating reflects the City's stable financial performance, healthy reserves, sound financial
management somewhat limited by moderate economic growth and elevated debt load. It was noted
discussion had been held with the bond raters that the City is looking at potentially increasing its debt for
specific projects which was deemed acceptable by the bond rater.
Motion by May, second by Czmowski, to approve Resolution No. 15912. Motion carried unanimously.

statutory limit of $292,282, however the HRA Board is requesting $173,000 to fund its 2026 operations.

Andy Reid, Finance Director, presented before the Council. Mr. Reid explained that the City must certify a
preliminary 2026 tax levy to the County Auditor by September 30, 2025, for the general fund and debt
service funds. The proposed preliminary tax levy of $10,133,941 reflects an overall City tax levy increase
of 9.2%. This is based on an 11.3% levy increase to the general fund levy and a 3.9% increase to the debt
levy. Combined with the EDA and HRA tax levies the total tax levy increase is 8.9%. The general fund
expenses see a 6.1% increase from last year with wages and benefits being the largest factor. Major
assumptions included in the increase include employee performance -based wage increase, health premium
increase, proposed IT position, Waterpark/Recreation Center Manager position, proposed new Public Works
employee and election judge wages. The budget for services and charges increased mainly due to critical
repairs and maintenance contracts needed at the Civic Arena and Aquatic Center.
Mr. Reid noted that the final levy cannot be higher than the preliminary levy set this evening, but it can be
lower.
Motion by Czmowski, second by Forcier, to approve Resolution No. 15911 setting the preliminary tax levy
at $10,133,941. Motion carried unanimously.

ROCHESTER, MN
CHAPTER 8-15. - CAMPING ON CITY PROPERTY AND CITY RIGHT-OF-WAY
Sec. 8-15-1. - Statement of legislative purpose and intent.
(a) Settlements of unhoused individuals (also known as "encampments") in public spaces is a
growing social, public safety, and environmental concern faced by cities of all sizes, including
Rochester. The dynamics of homelessness, both short and longer term, are extremely
complex, reflecting a wide range of contributing factors. It is recognized that, like many cities,
Rochester's housing stock and price dynamics can create an affordability challenge, causing
unstable housing for some.
(b) Historically, in Rochester and elsewhere, encampments have attracted and involved
people experiencing significant addiction and mental health challenges, as well as individuals
who seek to take advantage of those staying in encampments. Among other problems,
encampments tend to result in accumulation of garbage and human waste, which creates a
health hazard and can contaminate the ground and water. Other typical hazards include drug
paraphernalia (e.g., needles) and unchecked fires associated with cooking, often involving
explosive fuels. Encampments are also prone to a heightened physical safety and property
risk for those in the encampments as well as those who may be present in the same area.
Encampments also tend to cause damage or disruption to the soil and forested areas.
(c) Many in the community, including public and private entities, have responded to the needs
of those experiencing housing instability, providing significant levels of resources and
services. This includes current access to a daytime facility (8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.) that
provides access to shelter, food, medical services, laundry, and other vital services, as well as
overnight shelter options at multiple facilities, supported by tremendous volunteer efforts.
(d) In addition to the city's efforts to connect unhoused individuals with resources and
services, the city also has an obligation to make best efforts to provide a safe and clean
environment for other members of the community who want or need to use public spaces.
Access to parks, trails, schools, green spaces, public transportation, and the protection of
public utilities and infrastructure is a community good for all.
(e) While many unhoused individuals are able to exist in a space that does not cause public
disruption, it is also true that many encampments do create significant harms, for both the
unhoused individuals as well as members of the public attempting to use the same spaces.
Law enforcement personnel, who have had primary responsibility for responding to
encampment areas, need to be supported with effective tools to address these complex
situations. Encampments and unsheltered individuals who create the most social harm cannot
be ignored or just moved from one space to the next.
Sec. 8-15-2. - Definitions.
The following words, terms, and phrases shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this
chapter, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:
City refers to the City of Rochester, Minnesota
Camp means to set up, or to remain in or at a campsite.
Campsite means any place where any tent, lean-to, shack, or other structure, any vehicle or
part thereof, or any bedding, sleeping bag, or other sleeping matter, or any stove or fire is
placed, established, or maintained for the purpose of establishing or maintaining a temporary
place to live.
Overnight she/ter refers to overnight shelter services, including but not limited to the
Rochester Community Warming Center, Dorothy Day Hospitality House, and Salvation Army
(when operating an overnight service.)
Sec. 8-15-3. - Prohibition.
(a) No person may camp in or upon any city land or right-of-way, unless otherwise specifically
authorized, subject to the enforcement requirements in paragraph 8-15-4 below.
(b) Any camping or campsite materials or personal property associated with a camping area
that is in violation of this ordinance may be removed or cleaned up by the city or its
designated contractors. The city will continue to utilize encampment protocols that will
provide notice (verbal or in writing), and a reasonable period of time (generally a maximum of
48 hours) for persons to access available services and seek shelter options.
Sec. 8-15-4. - Criminal penalty.
(a) Any violation of this section is deemed a misdemeanor, as defined in Minn. Stat. § 609.02,
subd. 3, currently a crime for which a sentence of not more than 90 days or a fine of not
more than $1,000.00, or both, may be imposed.
(b) No person may be prosecuted under this chapter unless:
(1)The person has been informed of the various charitable and social services available
to the person, including shelter options as well as daytime services; and
(2)The person has been warned that their conduct is a violation of this section, subject
to criminal prosecution. An individual who has been warned and then relocates to another
space that a reasonable person would understand is also covered by this section is not
entitled to a new warning; and
(3) During "nighttime" hours (8:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m.) law enforcement personnel have
confirmed that some form of overnight shelter is available to the person, and documented the
same. A person who has been trespassed from otherwise available shelter services will be
deemed as having shelter services available to them.
Sec. 8-15-5. - Prioritization of enforcement.
(a) Recognizing that enforcement resources are insufficient to cover all included spaces at all
times, prioritization will be given to the following spaces:
(1) In, or within 100 feet of, a city park.
(2) Within 250 feet of a preschool, kindergarten, elementary or secondary school, or a
licensed childcare center.
(3) The area of the sidewalk corridor on city sidewalks, including bus shelters,
intended for pedestrian travel or access to public transit.
(4) Upon or within 250 feet of a lot or parcel containing an electric utility substation or
electric power generation facility.
(5) Upon or within 250 feet of a lot or parcel containing a water utility pumping facility
or water storage facility.
(6) Areas posted as no -trespassing by authorized city personnel.
Sec. 9-1-3. - Obstruction of public thoroughfares.
(a) The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this section, shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in this subsection, except where the context clearly
indicates a different meaning:
Obstruct a public thoroughfare means to loiter, loaf, wander, stand or remain idle either alone
or in concert with others in a public place in such a manner so as to:
(1) Obstruct any public thoroughfare by hindering or impeding the free and uninterrupted
passage of vehicles, traffic or pedestrians; or
(2) Commit in or upon any public thoroughfare any act or thing which is an obstruction or
interference to the free and uninterrupted use of property or with any business
lawfully conducted by anyone in or upon or facing or fronting on any such public
thoroughfare, all of which prevents the free and uninterrupted access thereto.
Public thoroughfare means any public street, highway or sidewalk, or any other public place
or building.
(b) No person shall obstruct a public thoroughfare. When any person obstructs a public
thoroughfare, any law enforcement officer must order the person to stop the
obstruction. If the person refuses to obey the law enforcement officer's order, the
person is guilty of obstructing a public thoroughfare, which is a misdemeanor offense.

BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION OFAGENDA ITEM:
At the last city council meeting, it was noted that the Council had a desire to discuss establishing standards for
mailbox clusters in town. As a follow up to that meeting, staff has put this item on the agenda for discussion
purposes.
Generally speaking, mailbox clusters are property of the United States Postal Service and are not a function of
city government. The City's Right of Way (ROW) Management can be found in Chapter 90 of the City Code.
Chapter 90.15 specifically talks about mailboxes. It notes the following about placing mailboxes in the City's
ROW:
Nothing herein shall prohibit:
(2) The placement of mailboxes approved by the United States Postal Service
The City has no other regulations regarding mailboxes or mailbox clusters.
I've attached the USPS standards booklet. Page 8 talks about Outdoor Cluster Boxes
Most cities do not have standards in place for Mailbox Clusters. Some cities require the "cluster" concept in all
new subdivisions. Monticello allows the Cluster Concept in boulevards and defines the "cluster concept" as
"Mailboxes in groups of four or more with groups no closer than 200 feet to another group, and placed at
locations and configurations as approved by the City Street Superintendent and/or U.S. Post Master."
Staff is looking for direction on what the City Council is looking for in regards to regulating or creating standards
for Mailbox Clusters.

1 Introduction
The United States Postal Service® is proud to provide every new home and
business with excellent, efficient mail delivery service. This guide will assist
you in preparing your new development for mail service by planning locations
and space for mail equipment early in the development process.
The U.S. Postal ServiceTM is responsible for establishing the method or
,'mode" of delivery for all new developments —both residential and
commercial. The mode of delivery includes the following:
Type of mailbox you will use.
Location of the mailbox for each delivery address.
Centralized delivery is our preferred method of mail delivery. Centralized
delivery equipment improves delivery efficiency and provides space for large
mail items, including packages, which is a great benefit for customers.
Freestanding, pedestal -style outdoor centralized mailboxes are called cluster
box units or CBUs. CBUs are "package friendly" because they are designed
to accommodate the majority of packages delivered through the U.S. Mail®.
CBUs also include parcel lockers, which provide separate, locked storage for
many packages.
Other types of centralized mailbox equipment are also available. Builders
and developers are responsible for the purchase and installation of mailbox
equipment. Property owners are responsible for ongoing maintenance,
repairs, and replacement of mailbox equipment.
This guide provides information about the types of USPS®-approved
mailbox equipment options available commercially and information about
other aspects of mail delivery planning that may apply to your specific
development.
With more than 150 million households and businesses served daily —and
another 1 million new delivery points added on average every year —it is
imperative that the U.S. Postal Service make its mail delivery network more
efficient while still delivering the service our customers expect. We
appreciate your assistance in furthering that objective, while at the same time
helping provide new customers with convenient mail delivery for their new
homes and businesses.
We also want to connect you with local USPS delivery planning individuals in
your area —referred to as Growth Managers. Postal Service Growth
Managers are available to assist you. Prior to submitting your master plan
and plat to the local municipality and/or county for approval, you must
arrange for a local USPS Growth Manager to review your development plans
prior to commencing construction.
Thank you for reviewing the Postal Service's mail delivery -planning
standards —we look forward to working with you!

Handbook PO-632
3 General Planning Guidelines for
Mailboxes in New Developments
3-1 Letter Carrier Access to Deliver U.S. Mail
Centralized delivery is the Postal Service's preference for new addresses,
whether residential or commercial. The customer is responsible for keeping
the approach to his or her mailbox and adjacent area clear to facilitate
delivery. You may provide curbside delivery only with prior approval from the
Postal Service. Place curbside mail receptacles approved by the Postal
Service where they protect the mail, can be safely and conveniently serviced
by carriers without leaving their vehicles, and can be reasonably and safely
accessed by customers. These receptacles must be on the right-hand side
of the road in the direction of travel when required by traffic conditions, or
when driving on the left-hand side of the road to reach the mail receptacle
would violate traffic laws.
3-2 Mailbox Locks and Keys
The Postal Service prohibits carriers from accepting keys for locks on private
mail receptacles, buildings, or offices, except where an electromechanical
door lock system or key keeper box is used.
CBUs have secure, locking mailbox, and parcel locker compartments.
Whether your new development is commercial or residential, the builder or
property owner is responsible for providing lock and key service for cluster
box units. The locks/keys for each of the compartments will be provided with
the CBU. The Postal Service will furnish the "master access lock" that allows
mail to be delivered. See 3-3for more information.
Your local USPS Growth Manager will discuss specific requirements and
processes appropriate for your new development as part of the overall
coordination process related to establishing the mode of delivery for your
new development.
July 2020
3-3 National Delivery Planning Standards - A Guide for Builders and Developers
3-3 USPS Master Access Lock
The Postal Service furnishes its own "master access lock" so that carriers
have access to deliver the mail. This lock is not available to developers and
builders to pre -install.
Your local USPS Growth Manager will coordinate installation of the "master
lock" as part of the overall coordination process when starting new mail
delivery for customers.
3-4 Safety Considerations
If curb delivery is approved by the Postal Service, posts and other supports
for curbside mailboxes are owned and controlled by the customer. The
owner of the property is responsible for ensuring that posts are neat and
adequate in strength and size.
When installing centralized delivery equipment, such as CBUs or STD-4C
(4C) equipment, the mailboxes must be safely located so that customers are
not required to travel an unreasonable distance to obtain their mail. Typically,
mailbox receptacles are located within 1 block of the residence.
When new developments, either residential or commercial, are in the design
phase, developers or architects must meet with the USPS Growth Manager
to ensure that safe and durable receptacles are properly specified and
located in conformance with regulations. The Growth Manager will also meet
with the builder at the appropriate time during the construction phase to
review the physical mailroom installation and discuss coordination and
timing of initiating mail delivery.
3-5 Customer and Carrier Accessibility Considerations
Curb delivery may only be provided with prior approval from the Postal
Service if the carrier can efficiently, safely, and conveniently service the
mailbox from the carrier's vehicle and if the customer can safely and easily
access the mailbox.
Apartment house delivery requires that mailboxes be located reasonably
close to the entrance in vestibules, halls, or lobbies. The carrier must also be
able to service the boxes without interference from swinging or open doors.
Consult with your local USPS Growth Manager early in the design process to
ensure you select an appropriate location for the apartment building
mailroom.
3-5.1 Placement of Outdoor Cluster Boxes
The local USPS Growth Manager or designee must approve the CBU
mailbox sites and type of equipment. Cluster boxes must be safely located
so that customers are not required to travel an unreasonable distance to
obtain their mail and so there is sufficient access to mailbox locations with
8 Handbook PO-632
General Planning Guidelines for Mailboxes in New Developments
3-5.2
adequate space for carriers to deliver and customers to retrieve the mail.
Typically, a mailbox receptacle will be located within 1 block of the
residence.
3-5.2 Construction Accessibility Guidelines
Accessibility requirements and regulations, including those required to
accommodate customers with disabilities, may vary by type of facility and
governing jurisdiction. Always consult local building officials and codes for
applicable accessibility requirements that apply to your specific development
and mailbox project.

4 single -point Residential Deliveries
New mail delivery planning for single-family residential developments
typically falls into the following two primary categories:
a. Site -constructed single family homes.
b. Mobile or trailer homes.
4-1 Residential Single Family Site Constructed
Development
During the design and planning phase (i.e., before plans and site plats are
finalized with the appropriate planning/zoning authorities), developers and
builders must notify the U.S. Postal Service of the planned development so
that the Postal Service can determine the appropriate mode of delivery while
considering input from the parties involved with the development.
Developers and builders must plan to install centralized mail delivery
receptacles in new residential communities, which include secure parcel
lockers.
New homes built or established within a block of existing homes can only
receive the same type of mail delivery service as the older, existing homes
after the Postal Service has completed an operational efficiency analysis.
When new delivery replaces more than 1 block, delivery methods must
comply with mode of delivery options for establishment and extension of
delivery service, which is typically centralized mail service.
Your local USPS Growth Manager will work closely with you to determine the
best approach to providing mail delivery service to customers in your new
residential development. It is important that you contact the Growth Manager
in your area as early as possible in your planning process.
4-2 Residential Mobile or Trailer Home Development
The delivery options for mobile or trailer home developments depend on
whether the development is permanent or transient as determined by the
Postal Service.
July 2020 11
4-2 National Delivery Planning Standards - A Guide for Builders and Developers
Permanent Developments —Permanent developments consist of managed
mobile home parks or residential mobile home subdivisions with the
following characteristics:
a. The lots are permanently assigned.
b. The streets are maintained for public use.
C. The conditions resemble those of a residential subdivision.
For permanent developments, the delivery options are either central,
curbside, or sidewalk delivery. Postal Service will determine and specify the
type of mail delivery for any permanent mobile/trailer home development.
The general practice of the Postal Service is to specify centralized delivery.
Transient Developments —Transient developments are mobile home,
trailer, and recreational vehicle parks where the lots are temporarily occupied
or rented and considered transient, short-term, or seasonal. For transient
developments, the only option is delivery to a single point or receptacle
designated by park management and approved by local Postal Service
management. The single delivery point defined will be for the receipt of all
mail from USPS; employees of the park will complete the subsequent
distribution of mail and forwarding.
Whether your new mobile home development is permanent or transient,
contact your local Growth Manager early in the process so that we can work
with you in laying out the space plan for mail delivery for the residents of your
new community.
12 Handbook PO-632
rJ Multi -point Residential Deliveries
5-1 Apartment Communities
The following are important U.S. Postal Service guidelines for determining
the location and composition of mail receptacles for apartment communities:
a. All new or remodeled apartment houses must install USPS-approved
4C centralized mailbox equipment. There must be at least 1 parcel
locker for every 5 mailbox compartments. The Postal Service requires
no maximum number of parcel lockers to be installed —only the
1:5 parcel locker/mailbox minimum.
b. Locate mail receptacles and parcel lockers in apartment buildings
reasonably close to the entrance in vestibules, hall, or lobbies. The
carrier must also be able to serve the boxes without interference from
swinging or open doors.
C. Exterior centralized mailboxes may also be an option. The Postal
Service may authorize the installation of standard, approved apartment
receptacles (4C or CBU) in exterior walls of buildings provided they are
not installed directly on the street or a public sidewalk. Provide a
canopy for outdoor mailbox installations. The canopy design and
location must provide maximum protection from the weather, including
driving rain, and provide adequate nighttime lighting.
5-2 Student Housing and Off -Campus Student
Apartment Communities
Mail delivery protocols to student housing vary depending on the
characteristics of the student housing community being served. Below are
general guidelines for establishing new mail service.
Mail is delivered to dormitory buildings and residence halls when addressed
to a specific building. Mail is delivered in bulk to a designated representative
of the school or property in the building. The representative is responsible for
further distribution to students/residents. The Postal Service will determine
the proper mode of delivery to be established and may require that
designees from the student housing property be identified to accept mail for
each location prior to initiating delivery.
The Postal Service defines a dormitory building or residence hall as a
building that consists of single or multi -room units that may share or have
July 2020 13
5-2 National Delivery Planning Standards - A Guide for Builders and Developers
access to centrally located kitchens, bathrooms, showers, or social or
common areas. Whether located on or off campus, and regardless of private
ownership, such buildings are nevertheless dormitories and either the school
or building owner is responsible for the final delivery of student mail. Post
Office personnel do not distribute mail into apartment -type mailboxes for
dormitories or residence halls.
As always, it is important to contact your local USPS Growth Manager early
in the planning process to ensure understanding and requirements related to
providing mail delivery for your new student housing development.
14 Handbook PO-632
6 Delivery to Business and Industrial
Parks
The following paragraphs provide important U.S. Postal Service guidelines
for determining the location, type of mailbox receptacles, and other
requirements related to initiating new mail delivery for business and industrial
parks.
The type and design of buildings included in the business and industrial
park will govern the mode of delivery that is implemented. As with all new
mail delivery planning, the location of the USPS-approved delivery
equipment is subject to Postal Service approval. Deliverymodeoptions for
business parks are door, centralized, curbside, or sidewalk delivery. Door
delivery will generally not be available for new delivery points. The primary
options are as follows:
a. Centralized Delivery. Centralized delivery service applies to all
business office buildings, office complexes, and industrial and
professional parks. If the U.S. Postal Service is delivering directly to the
mailboxes, the type of equipment allowed for newly constructed
buildings must either be USPS-approved CPUs or STD-4C (4C) wall -
mounted receptacles.
b. Single -Point Delivery. Single -point delivery is generally not available
to new business park developments unless it is in the form of a bulk
mail drop.

16 Handbook PO-632
7 Establishment of City Delivery
To establish city delivery service, consider a combination of mail delivery
methods to provide regular and effective service to all residential and
business sections of a community. Consider the establishment of city
delivery service when the following requirements are met:
a. Within the area to be served, there is a population of 2,500 or more or
750 possible deliveries.
b. At least 10 percent of the building lots in the area to be served are
improved with houses or places of business. Where a house or building
and its yard or ground cover more than one lot, all lots so covered are
considered improved. The streets are paved or otherwise improved to
permit the travel of Postal Service vehicles at all times, without damage
or delay.
C. Streets are named and house numbers are assigned by the municipal
authorities in accordance with Management Instruction DM-940-89-3,
Addressing Conventions.
d. Street signs are in place and house numbers are displayed.
e. Rights -of -way, turnouts, and areas next to the roads and streets are
sufficiently improved so that the installation, servicing, and accessing
of mailboxes are not hazardous to the public or Postal Service
employees.
f. Satisfactory walkways exist for the carrier where required.
Note: During a new residential or commercial development's design and
planning phase (i.e., before the developers and builders finalize plans
and site plats with the appropriate planning/zoning authorities),
developers and builders must notify the Postal Service so that the Postal
Service can determine the appropriate mode of delivery while
considering input from these parties.
Developers and builders should plan for centralized mail delivery installations
for residential communities or business developments.
It is important to contact your local USPS Growth Manager while you are still
in the design process so that we can collaborate with you to prepare the
most efficient, effective plan to provide mail delivery for the customers who
will live or work in your new development.

8 Inspection and Commencement of
Mail Delivery Services
8-1 Mail Receptacles and Customer Obligations
Appropriate mail receptacles must be provided for the receipt of mail. The
type of mail receptacle depends on the mode of delivery in place. Purchase,
installation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of mail receptacles are the
responsibility of the customer. Verify with the local Postmaster or Growth
Manager, the appropriate locations for installation. The following apply:
a. In locations where the Postal Service has determined that centralized
delivery is appropriate, customers must install mail receptacles that
comply with the USPS STD- 4C wall -mounted mail receptacles or
USPSB1118, Postal Service specification, CBUs, to include secured
parcel lockers.
b. If curbline delivery is authorized, customers must erect curb -mounted

BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION OFAGENDA ITEM:
RAM General Contracting, Inc has submitted a rezoning application at 955 Golf Course Road
NW. The property is currently zoned R-1. There are adjacent properties that are zoned R-2. To
operate the memory care facility a Conditional Use Permit would be required under the R-2
Zoning District. The proposal is for a 20-unit memory care facility.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this request on September 16th. Two
members of the public had questions about the request. One question was related to drainage
on properties to the north of the proposed site and if the drainage would be altered with this
request. Staff noted that the plan is for the existing drainage to continue as is. Another resident
asked about the process for a rezoning and about permitted and conditionally permitted uses in
the R-2 zoning district. Staff explained the zoning ordinance. There were also questions
regarding the elevation of the site.
The Planning Commission voted unanimously (5-0) to recommend approval of the rezoning.

Applicant: RAM General Contracting, Inc.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Existing Zoning: R-1 Residential
Property Location: 955 Golf Course Road NW
Existing Land Use: Vacant
Adjacent Land Use/Zoning: Residential
Zoning History: Parcel was part of the Bullert property and has
been used for Ag/hay or has been open space.
Applicable Regulations: Sections 154.173 and 154.174 of City Code
Rezoning:
The property is currently zoned R-1 Low Density Residential. R-1 has several Conditional Uses
that are similar in intensity to a memory care facility, such as churches and schools. The R-2,
Medium Density Residential District, allows single-family and two-family homes as permitted uses.
Conditional Uses in the R-2 Zoning District are all conditional uses allowed in the R-1 Zoning
District, as well as licensed day care centers, licensed nursing homes, and licensed boarding
houses for the elderly.
The first step for this project to move forward is for the property to be rezoned from R-1 to R-2.
If that is approved and the site plan is approved the applicant could apply for a Conditional Use
Permit for a licensed nursing home for the memory care facility. Approving the rezoning does
not guarantee the Conditional Use Permit will be approved.
Staff has reviewed the rezoning request and recommends the property be rezoned to R-2. There
are properties on both the east and west side of the subject property that are currently zoned R-
2.
Site Plan:
The City Council deems it is necessary and appropriate to require site plan approval of
developments in certain zoning districts to preserve and promote attractive, well -planned,
stable urban conditions. The following is an overview of site plan considerations. Please note,
the full engineered site plans are attached following this report.
Site
The site is approximately 8.48 acres and is one large lot. There is a large wetland on the site
that is not going to be impacted with this proposed development. The proposed memory care
building will be constructed in the open meadow area to the south of the wetland and north of
the wooded area. The site plan currently has one access point off Golf Course Road NW and a
parking lot surrounding the building.
Building:
The building (see below) is proposed to be a one-story "farmhouse" themed building that is
approximately 14,000 square feet in size. The main entrance will face south. The building is

mn��U�N�|UNU NNUU�UNnn�UNUNUmNU�U�U�U�UNUNUNUNUU�U�U�UUUmx|U
Parking/Access/Circulation
The Parking lot has 34 parking stalls which is more than required by city code. City code
requires .35 parking stalls per bed. This facility has 20 beds which would require seven parking
stalls plus stalls for staff. Snow storage is also a consideration for the size of the parking lot
because in the winter piles of snow take up some of the spaces. Staff is comfortable with the
34 spaces that are being proposed. Please see redlined plans following staff report by City
Engineer Braithwaite.
Landscaping and Lighting_
Final landscaping and lighting plans will need to be submitted with the building permit and meet
the requirements of the zoning ordinance. Per the zoning ordinance, lighting installed must be
indirect and shall not produce glare on adjacent properties or public right of ways.
Utilities
The utilities for the site will come off Golf Course Road NW. The sanitary sewer is located to
the south of the proposed site in the Golf Course Road NW right-of-way. The water is also
located in the road right-of-way. The site can also be serviced with electric and natural gas
services from Hutchinson Utilities.
Stormwater Management:
There are two stormwater ponds shown on the site plan. Detailed stormwater calculations will
be needed with the building permit submittal if this project were to move forward. Please see
redlined plans following staff report by City Engineer Braithwaite.
Future Approvals Needed
As noted above, if the rezoning is approved the project will still require a Conditional Use Permit
to be granted to move forward.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the rezoning and site plan with the following items to be
addressed:
1. A Conditional Use Permit is needed for the proposed project.
2. Any reconstruction of existing infrastructure within City of Hutchinson right of way or
easement areas shall be the developer's responsibility, including necessary
improvements and associated costs. This work shall meet all of the City's engineering
standards and be approved by the City.
3. The City of Hutchinson must be notified 7 days prior to any roadway or utility work
that is going to be done within the City right of way. If the proposed work impacts
roadway traffic flow, a traffic plan must be submitted to the City Engineer for approval.
All roadway work must be fully completed to City standards within 10 calendar days
of the original disturbance. If the work isn't fully completed within 10 calendar days,
the City reserves the right to have the work completed and invoice/assess the property
owner for all associated costs.
4. Work with City staff to determine if a second site access is needed off School Road
NW to meet fire code/provide the site with better access.
Address redline comments on site plan marked up by the City of Hutchinson to City
satisfaction.

Property was annexed to the City in early 2025.
Sections 154.173 of the City Code
In considering a rezoning request, the Planning Commission should review the proposed
rezoning for consistency with the surrounding area, City Plans and the purpose of the Zoning
Ordinance.
As noted above, the adjacent properties are zoned R-2, with some R-1 on the northern and
eastern border of the development. There is a significant amount of R-3 just a short distance
west of this development in the Southwind Development, as well as R-3 to the east in the South
Fork Ridge Development. The land use proposed in Elk Ridge Estates is single-family and twin
homes. The R-3 zoning district is the best zoning district to accommodate the lot sizes and
setbacks that were proposed during the platting process.
Staff Recommendations:
Staff recommends rezoning the property from R-1 to R-3 for the reasons noted above. Staff
recommends approval of the request with the following findings and recommendations:
1. The rezoning is consistent with the character of the surrounding area.
2. The rezoning is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
3. The property is proposed to be developed into single-family homes and twin homes.

year, the City retained the law firm of Kennedy and Graven who negotiated the current telecommunications ordinance
agreement that we have with Mediacom and the negotiations with Mediacom are ongoing. It is expected that the new
franchise agreement with Mediacom will be ready for approval by the City Council by December 31, 2025. I'm asking
that the City Council approve the short-term extension of the existing agreement so that the City's right of way
infrastructure can be protected and so that HCVN (whom gets its revenue through this franchise agreement) can still
continue to receive payments through the end of the year.
The first reading of this ordinance was held at the last City Council meeting and no changes have been made to it.

BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION OFAGENDA ITEM:
A flagpole at the corner of 1st Ave SE and Hassan St was taken down errantly this Summer
during the Hassan St project. It had been in the crosswalk area and no franchise agreement
could be found on file. Upon removal, the owners of the business building at 115 1st Ave SE
expressed concern with its removal. City staff have worked to find a suitable relocation in the
Right of Way in close proximity that satisfied the interests of the building owners as well as City.
A franchise agreement has been drafted to document the placement and ownership going
forth. A public hearing will be held at the next City Council meeting on this matter as required
by City Charter.
City staff will be on hand to answer any questions.

BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION OFAGENDA ITEM:
This agenda item relates to the anticipated bond proceeds to be received in 2026 and using
those proceeds to reimburse improvement project costs. The resolution is an IRS requirement if
we wish to use tax-exempt bond proceeds to reimburse project costs incurred before the bond
issuance. I'm bringing it to the city council earlier than usual since it addresses potential debt for
the fire ladder truck and wastewater facility improvements. Both of those projects have already
been approved by the city council and we expect to make progress payments between now and
completion in 2026/2027. This resolution gives us the ability to use future bond proceeds to
reimburse costs over the next year.
The amounts to be reimbursed in the resolution are conservative estimates and will likely be
lower as we get closer to the actual bonding.

OF BONDS TO BE ISSUED BY THE CITY IN 2026
WHEREAS, the Internal Revenue Service has issued Treas. Reg. § 1.150-2 (the
"Reimbursement Regulations") providing that proceeds of tax-exempt bonds used to reimburse prior
expenditures will not be deemed spent unless certain requirements are met; and
WHEREAS, the City expects to incur certain expenditures that may be financed temporarily
from sources other than bonds, and reimbursed from the proceeds of a tax-exempt bond;
WHEREAS, the City has determined to make this declaration of official intent
("Declaration") to reimburse certain costs from proceeds of bonds in accordance with the
Reimbursement Regulations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF HUTCHINSON
AS FOLLOWS:
The City proposes to undertake the following projects in 2026 (the "Project"):

2. The City reasonably expects to reimburse the expenditures made for certain costs of
the Project from the proceeds of bonds expected to be sold in September 2026 and settled in October

comprised of $2,600,000 for street improvements, $1,000,000 for the fire truck and $3,000,000 for

bond issuance, and similar costs that are incurred prior to commencement of acquisition, construction
or rehabilitation of a project, other than land acquisition, site preparation, and similar costs incident

BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION OFAGENDA ITEM:
At our last council meeting, we talked about how back in 2023, the State legislature passed legislation to provide funding to
local governments to assist cities in creating and maintaining affordable housing options. Through 2025, the City will have
received $167,965 and we are expected to receive another $29,647 in 2026. We noted how we are in need of allocating this
money to projects, with our first reporting requirement being by December 1, of this year.
Just a reminder that the funds can be used for the following:
-- Emergency rental assistance for households earning less than 80% of area median income as determined by HUD
-- Financial support to nonprofit affordable housing providers
-- Construction, acquisition, rehabilitation, demolition or removal of structures, construction financing, permanent financing,
interest rate reduction, refinancing, and gap financing for:
- Homeownership projects, 115% of the greater of state or area median income as determined by HUD.
- Rental housing projects, 80% of the greater of state or area median income as determined by HUD.
-- Emergency rental assistance for households earning less than 80% of area median income as determined by HUD.
-- Use of funds for new construction or substantial rehabilitation of a building containing more than four units. It must include
the greater of at least one unit or 5% of the buildings units as accessible units and meet sensory accessible standards.
We received two requests for use of the funds. One from our HRA and the other from Crow River Habitat for Humanity. Both
of those requests are attached. The HRA is asking for usage of all of the funds for their programs and Crow River Habitat for
Humanity is asking for $80,000.
Staff has put together 4 different resolution options for the Council to consider. Option #1 gives $80,000 to Crow River with
the remaining amount going to the HRA. Option #2 has all of the money going to the HRA. Option #3 gives $40,000 to Crow
River with the remaining amount going to the HRA. Option #4 leaves the dollar amounts blank for another consideration of
the Council. One thing to keep in mind is that the City usually does not give money to non -profits. However, the legislation
that was passed specifically allowed for this. Additional options can also be considered by the Council.

Proposal for the Use of the City of Hutchinson's
Statewide Affordable Housing Aid Funds
The Hutchinson HRA would like to continue the City Home Improvement Program for the citizens of
Hutchinson by using the City of Hutchinson's Statewide Affordable Housing Aid (SAHA) funds for the
City Home Improvement Program. The City Home Improvement Program is a unique home improvement
program for a broad range of households, particularly with an increase to income limits. Considering historical
program usage, it is estimated that this program will use $70,000 per year, helping 7-10 households. Taking into
account the SAHA funds received by the City this would be enough funding to continue the program another 3-
4 years, and help an estimated 40 households. The Hutchinson HRA requests to utilize the Statewide
Affordable Housing Aid (SAHA) funds to fund the City Home Improvement Program.
The Hutchinson HRA currently administers multiple City housing programs using different funding sources,
including from the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) and the closed Augusta
Housing TIF Debt Service Fund (TIF).
City Home Improvement Program Grants using the closed Augusta Housing TIF Debt Service Fund were added
in 2015 as flexible tools for rehabilitation of single-family, owner -occupied housing throughout the city. Grants
were offered using four programs to address different community needs. The current programs are the
Emergency Home Repair Grant, Home Accessibility Grant, City Home Repair Grant, and the Live and Work,
First-time Homebuyer Rehab Grant.
The City Home Improvement Program grants have been a great resource for the citizens of Hutchinson to do
home improvements, as well as, to maintain their home values. These grants are available citywide instead of
in a targeted area required for DEED's grants.
Since the program began in 2015, there have been 67 loan/grants given out for a total of over $416,000, an
average of around 7 grants per year. These Funds are nearly depleted.
If the City Council approves the Hutchinson HRA proposal to use the SAHA funds for the continuation of the
City Home Improvement program, some of the proposed changes to the program will help ensure these funds
will be expended within the required timeline. SAHA funds have higher homeowner income limits, compared
to current funding, allowing Hutchinson HRA to process grants to a broader range of applicants. To meet
required timelines, there will be increased marketing efforts.

Executive Summary
Crow River Habitat for Humanity respectfully submits this proposal to the City of Hutchinson to
request financial support in the amount of $80,000 to aid in the construction of affordable housing
for low- to moderate -income families (See Tables I & 2 for CRHFH Income Limits) in Hutchinson.
This partnership will help address the growing need for safe, stable housing and contribute to a
stronger, more vibrant community.
Organizational Background
Crow River Habitat for Humanity is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating
substandard housing in McLeod County by building and repairing homes in partnership with
families in need. Since our founding in 1994, we have completed 29 homes in the region, including
several in Hutchinson. We build homes with volunteers and community partners, then sell them to
families at no profit with affordable mortgage terms. These groups are referred to as "Partner
Families" because they volunteer as a partner in the construction or renovation of their home and the
homes of others. They not only are heavily vented through our application process, but then agree to
volunteer 200 hours as a family during the life of the project. They volunteer those hours at the Build
Site; all while also learning how to budget for their mortgage, maintaining their fulltime hours, and
fulfilling their other responsibilities at home.
Our mission: Seeking to put God's love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to
build homes, communities, and hope.
Need for Support
Affordable housing remains a critical issue in Hutchinson and the State of Minnesota, at large.
Local employers report housing as a barrier to workforce recruitment and retention.
Habitat home applicants consistently report overcrowding, unsafe living conditions, or housing
instability.
Adults and children in vunerable housing report lower mental, and sometimes, physical health than
those in more stable and safer living environments.
The demand for affordable housing continues to outpace supply. Crow River Habitat is uniquely
positioned to meet this need through proven, community -driven housing solutions.
Project Description
With support from the City of Hutchinson and other public entities, we will be able to build new or
renovate existing single family homes throughout Hutchinson benefiting families who meet our
criteria for need, willingness to partner, and ability to pay an affordable mortgage.
Each home will:
Be energy efficient and built to high safety and quality standards.
Provide a stable foundation for families to thrive —improving educational, health, and employment
outcomes.
Be built in partnership with local volunteers, organizations, and the homeowners themselves.
We are currently in the planning or early construction phase for a renovation project homes in
Hutchinson, with the hope to purchase and revitalive more in the future. At the time of donation, the
home was valued at $70,000. After renovations are finalized, we anticipate that the value will
increase to at least $200,000. Which would raise the value of the neighborhood and city overall.
Requested Support
We respectfully request a grant of $80,000.00 from the City of Hutchinson to be used for:
- Site preparation and infrastructure (utilities, grading, driveways)
- Construction materials
- Permit and inspection fees
- Project coordination and volunteer management
This funding will be leveraged with contributions from local donors, businesses, and volunteers to
maximize community impact.
Community Impact
By investing in Habitat homes, the City of Hutchinson will:
- Expand access to affordable homeownership
- Reduce strain on rental markets
- Increase local property tax base
- Strengthen neighborhoods
- Support workforce development and family self-sufficiency
- Improve the mental and physical health of local families that wish to live, work and play in
Hutchinson, Minnesota.
In addition to economic benefits, each home provides long-term social returns by offering families a
path out of poverty housing.
Conclusion
We invite the City of Hutchinson to join us in building a stronger future -one home, one family at a
time. Your investment in affordable housing will provide lasting value for our entire community. We
welcome the opportunity to present this proposal in person and discuss ways we can partner for
greater impact.
Thank you for your consideration.
