Preventing water penetration reduces the impact from the freeze/thaw process and allows for longer-lasting streets.

Funding for this project in the amount of $40,500.00 is allocated in the 2026 Streets budget. It is important to note that varying winter weather conditions have an impact on the level of crack sealing maintenance required and severe weather requires a higher degree of maintenance. We will identify any additional crack sealing needs that developed over the spring and summer and, if the budget allows, coordinate with the contractor to add those areas to the work list. Please feel free to contact us should you have any questions or concerns on this agenda item. ## PM/AB 11 ## Memorandum ## TO: Todd Prafke DATE: 4/10/2026 ## City Administrator FROM: Pete Moulton Curtis Thompson Public Works Director Water Resources Superintendent RE: Badger Water Meter Main Body and Register Head Purchase Approval ## ACTION/RECOMMENDATION Approve Metering & Technology Solutions of Burnsville, Minnesota to furnish and deliver 500 Badger water meter bodies and 500 register heads in the amount of $90,000. ## BACKGROUND Annually, water meter bodies and register heads are purchased to replace old water meters and for new water meter installations.

City Ordinance defines “Downtown Parking” as the streets in the area including and bounded by Third Street on the west, Front Street on the east, Broadway Avenue on the north, and Mulberry Street on the south; and the south side of Grace Street a distance of 150 feet west of Third Street. This entire area is signed as “2-Hour Parking - No Parking 2 AM – 6 AM”. ## Proposed Changes: 1) The east/west streets of Park Row, Nassau and Grace (between Front and Third Street would be changed to odd/even date parking. a. Vehicles can legally park overnight downtown depending on the date after 12:00 midnight on whichever side the date permits. i. Example: January 2 nd (even numbered day) parking would be permitted on the south side of these streets ii. Example: January 3 rd (odd numbered day) parking would be permitted on the north side of these streets 2) Signs would need to be changed on selected streets to say “Odd Day Parking Allowed – No Parking During Snow Emergencies” and “Even Day Parking Allowed - No Parking During Snow Emergencies. ## What Would Not Change: 1) It would still be unlawful for any person to stop, park or leave any vehicle standing upon any street for a continuous period in excess of 24 hours. 15 2) There would be no downtown parking for forty-eight hours for all downtown streets and municipal parking lots (when posted) when a “Snow Emergency” is declared. 3) There would be “No Parking 2 AM – 6 AM on Broadway and Mulberry Street between Front Street and Third Street”; and “No Parking 2 AM – 6 AM on S. Third Street and S. Front Street between Mulberry Street and Broadway. It is proposed that this parking change be effective June 1, 2026 to allow time for additional notice and education of businesses, residents and building owners. Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions or concerns on this item. ## PM 16 ## Downtown Parking Map ## Odd/Even Date Parking (November to April) 17 ## Downtown Saint Peter Parking Survey Summary 1) What is you connection to downtown? (11) a. Business Owner (5) b. Property Owner (2) c. Downtown Resident (2) d. Downtown Customer (2) 2) How often do you park in the downtown area? a. Daily (6) b.

Unsure (1) 7) Do you believe the proposed plan balances the needs of businesses, residents, and maintenance (snow removal/cleaning)? a. No (5) b. Yes (4) c. Unsure (2) 18 8) How important is it to you that parking near business entrances remains available for customers? a. Very important (8) b. Important (2) c. Moderately Important (1) d. Not Important (0) 9) If implemented, how much advance notice and education should be provided before the changes take effect? a. Less than 1-month (4) b. 1 – 2 months (1) c. 3 – 6 months (3) d. More than 6-months (3) 10) Do you have suggestions for improving this plan? a. Making a parking lot when the city building moves to the new building. Building another apartment building will only make the parking situation worse. Make the lot behind the stores overnight parking unless there is snow and they need to be plowed. b. Add additional parking in the old plaza location, if only temporarily. c. Keep all businesses affected in direct communication d. Don’t do it. 11) Additional comments or concerns: a. Older customers already have a hard time finding a place to park sometimes. People will take advantage of the overnight parking and leave cars there much longer. It will be hard to regulate who has been parked there and who long. I have an upstairs tenant that parks on 169 in the only spot close to my front door from early morning all day. Taking the one spot, my customers could park. b. This will negatively impact River Rock Coffee. We struggle with tenants and overnight parking in front of our Mankato location. We need parking access for our customers or they will choose the convenience of drive thru. c. What is the reason for starting this at all? Is this really where our resources are going? d. This is an awful lot of planning for something so simple, that doesn’t even matter. There are probably much better things we could be using our resources for. We barely get proper snow removal now... Will we get snow removal based on odd or even days? And how much are you going to raise our taxes again to accommodate for your education of odd/even numbers and signage? e. 19 ## CITY OF SAINT PETER, MINNESOTA ## RESOLUTION NO. 2026 - ## STATE OF MINNESOTA) ## COUNTY OF NICOLLET) ## CITY OF SAINT PETER) ## RESOLUTION APPROVING CONSENT AGENDA ## BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAINT PETER, NICOLLET ## COUNTY, MINNESOTA, THAT: 1.

Nowell ## Mayor ## ATTEST: _________________________________ ## Todd Pr afke ## City Administrator 21 ## Memorandum ## TO: Todd Prafke DATE: 4/10/2026 ## City Administrator FROM: Pete Moulton Andrew Bach Public Works Director Maintenance Superintendent RE: Tennis Court Conversion to Pickleball Courts at Veterans Memorial Park ## ACTION/RECOMMENDATION Authorize Tennis West, LLC to convert the existing (north) tennis courts into six (6) pickleball courts at Veterans Memorial Park in the amount of $50,397.00. This would include resurfacing, nets/standards, and divider fencing. Additionally, Saint Peter Pickleball Association will be contributing $11,227.00 (divider fencing) toward the improvement. Therefore, the City share would be $39,170.00. ## BACKGROUND Since the installation of the (south) pickleball courts at Veterans Memorial Park, the popularity of the sport has grown tremendously. Equally impressive is the wide range of users who enjoy the sport, from youth to elderly age groups. Players come from various sources throughout the community (general public, school, Gustavus, Saint Peter Pickleball Association, etc.) and from other communities as well. Meanwhile, the popularity, and presence, of tennis play at Veterans Memorial Park has seemingly diminished over the last several years since the new tennis court facilities were built up at Community Spirit Park. The timing seems right to convert the north tennis courts to pickleball courts to better suit the needs of the user base. Additionally, the north end will allow for extended play in the spring and fall as it has adequate lighting. Requests for formal written proposals were solicited with five written proposals received as follows: 22 We recommend accepting the proposal from Tennis West, LLC, with anticipated construction scheduled for early June. It should also be noted, Tennis West, LLC did the south pickleball courts for the City previously, for which we have had many positive comments. ## FISCAL IMPACT: An amount of $34,800 has been allocated through the 2026 Parks Budget towards this improvement, which means we would be $4,370 over budget on this line item. Having said that, we have been on or under budget with other Parks line items that would cover the difference. ## ALTERNATIVES/VARIATIONS: Do not act: No further action will be taken without additional direction from the Council. Negative Vote: The vendors will be notified their proposals will not be accepted. Modification to the Resolution: This is always an option of the City Council. Please feel free to contact us should you have any questions or concerns about this agenda item. ## PM/AB 23 ## CITY OF SAINT PETER, MINNESOTA ## RESOLUTION NO. 2026 – ## STATE OF MINNESOTA) ## COUNTY OF NICOLLET) ## CITY OF SAINT PETER) ## RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING TENNIS WEST TO CONVERT THE EXISTING TENNIS ## COURTS TO PICKLEBALL COURTS AT VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK WHEREAS, Pickleball has been growing in Saint Peter and is offering many citizens the opportunity to enjoy our parks; and WHEREAS, the tennis courts at Community Spirit Park serve as the primary location for tennis users; and WHEREAS, The Saint Peter Pickleball Association has committed funds to assist with the requested improvements; and WHEREAS, proposals were received to complete the resurfacing, nets/standards, and divider fencing. ## NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAINT ## PETER, NICOLLET COUNTY, MINNESOTA, THAT: 1.

Adopted by the City Council of the City of Saint Peter, Nicollet County, Minnesota, on this 13th day of April 2026. ## Shanon A. Nowell ## Mayor ## ATTEST: ## Todd Prafke ## City Administrator 24 ## Memorandum ## TO: Todd Prafke DATE: 4/10/2026 ## City Administrator FROM: Pete Moulton Andrew Bach Director of Public Works Maintenance Superintendent RE: 2026 Street Seal Coating and Parking Lot Sealing Project Bid Award ## ACTION/RECOMMENDATION Award the bid for the 2026 Street Seal Coating and Parking Lot Sealing Project to Allied Blacktop Company of Maple Grove, Minnesota in the amount $169,286.25. ## BACKGROUND Public Works is responsible for maintaining City roadways and annual maintenance work which includes a seal coat project using emulsifying oil and chipped rock to “seal” the roadway. Seal coating helps extend the life of the roadway by creating a physical barrier from traffic, UV rays, and weather; and helps to prevent moisture from penetrating through the pavement which leads to premature degradation of the roadway. This work is done on an annual basis through issuance of a formal bid. The contracted portion of the project includes the contractor supplying the asphalt emulsion (CRS-2 and CRS-2PD), equipment, emulsion distributor, rock distributor, rollers to set the stone into the emulsion, and trucks to deliver the stone to the application site. As we have in past years, the City will supply the rock and be responsible for loading the contractor’s trucks at Public Works. In addition, City staff will prepare all manholes and water valves in the street prior to the emulsion and rock being placed, along with the cleanup of the areas after the work is completed. City staff will also sweep and collect the stone after it is compacted, which is usually a few days later. This approach makes the contractor responsible for the finished product yet minimizes the City’s cash expenditures for the work. As provided for the City’s purchasing policy, requests for formal bids were made. Four formal bids were received as follows: ## Contractor CRS-2/gal ## TOTAL (48,825 gal) ## CRS-2PD/gal ## Total (625 gal) ## Grand Total ## Allied Blacktop ## Company $3.40/gal $166,005.00 $5.25/gal $3,281.25 $169,286.25 ## Asphalt Surface ## Technologies $3.89/gal $189,929.25 $3.60/gal $2,250.00 $192,179.25 Fahrner Asphalt $4.19/gal $204,576.75 $3.00/gal $1,875. $206,451.75 ## Pearson Bros, Inc. $3.48/gal $169,911.00 $5.00/gal $3,125 $173,036.00 25 The formal bids were reviewed, and it is recommended Allied Blacktop Company of Maple Grove, Minnesota be awarded the bid in the amount of $169,286.25. ## FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this project is allocated in the 2026 General Fund as part of the Streets budget. ## ALTERNATIVES AND VARIATIONS: Do not act: No further action will be taken without additional direction from the City Council.

This collection piping lays parallel to Highway 169 in the west ditch. Stretches of this Vitrified Clay Pipe (VCP) between Dranttel Street and the main pumping station have pipe deficiencies vulnerable to inflow and infiltration (I&I). Groundwater and high river levels account for an increase in the influent volume at the wastewater treatment plant. Additional volume of wastewater leads to additional treatment costs. The wastewater utility has completed five phases of lining along this stretch over the last nine years, with approximately 2,300 feet of pipe and two manholes remaining from Dranttel Street to St. Julien Street. Lining a sanitary sewer pipe includes application of a resin coating to the liner prior to its insertion of the existing pipe. The resin is heated and time sensitive and solidifies while in place creating a watertight liner in the existing pipe. Using this “No-Dig” technology to line sanitary sewers provides minimal interruption of existing service within the City’s infrastructure. Conceptually, a soft liner fills the interior of an existing pipe and is expanded to the inside diameter of the pipe. After installation, existing private lateral taps are cut-in, restoring a sanitary service to active duty. In September of 2024, after a wet June where the Minnesota River was extremely high, we submitted an application for grant funds through the “Implementation Grants for Wastewater Resilience” program to the MPCA for improvements to the Highway 169 North Interceptor Line. We were notified that we were awarded the grant on January 31, 2025. These funds will be used to complete the lining of approximately 2,300-feet of 15” VCP and two sanitary sewer manholes. 28 The following bids were received: ## Vendor Total Bid Amount Insituform Technologies $ 186,474.65 ## Vortex Services MN, LLC $ 194,976.00 Visu-Sewer $ 203,805.00 ## National Power Rodding Corp. $ 255,125.00 Insituform meets all project specifications and specializes in this work. We feel they will complete this project on time and up to our specifications. ## FISCAL IMPACT: The total project cost will be approximately $2 32,838.65 with grant money providing $192,280 in reimbursement and in-kind funds of $40,558.65 being provided from the Wastewater Fund. ## ALTERNATIVES/VARIATIONS: Do not act: Without Council action, the City would be unable to access the grant funds. Negative Vote: Staff will inform the MPCA that the City Council has chosen not to accept the grant funds and the project will not move forward. Modification of the Resolution: This is always an option of the City Council.

This has been utilized in the past generally as a customer convenience as the City has added a percentage on top of our cost to purchase the copper to offset our time and labor to keep material in stock. Recently there has been a spike in copper cost and therefore the use has shifted from utilizing the City supplied copper as a convenience to exclusively using City supplied copper because of the price. Copper comes in rolls of either 60 feet or 100 feet. The intent of the City supplied copper is for the builder to measure how much they need and request the proper length (either 60’ or 100’). Our current fee schedule does not differentiate in price between 60’ and 100’, so instead of requesting what is needed, 100’ rolls seem to have become the standard request. With our current fee of $1,000 regardless of length, we are not covering the cost of materials on the 100’ rolls of copper we supply. It is proposed that the fee not only be raised for 100’ rolls but be split out between 60’ rolls and 100’ rolls to encourage the use of the proper size. Below are the proposed changes from Public Works for the “Fee Schedule”: 106. Water Main Access Fee A. 1” Line $1,000.00 A. 60’ roll of copper (an additional) $1,000.00 B. 100’ roll of copper (an additional) $1,667.00 This fee will be evaluated annually to keep pace with the copper market. ## FISCAL IMPACT: Funds will be allocated to the Water budget. 31 ## ALTERNATIVES AND VARIATIONS: Do not act: No further action will be taken without additional direction from the City Council.

In the near future, the City of Saint Peter will plat the 18-acre property to allow for further subdivision. The City has not officially discussed or approved any plans for the vacant land on the subject property. However, it is advantageous that the City approve a new street name for the future public road that will be located along the same north-south route in which Scholarship Way currently runs. Scholarship Way (private road) is currently a paved road with curb and gutter, underground utilities, and a new sidewalk. Officially naming the street will help each City Department with establishing a correct mailing address and location. Based on the recommendations from the Planning Commission, a survey with 16 potential names was distributed to City Hall staff. The survey asked them to choose the name they liked the best for the new City Hall. The top names from that survey were then put into another survey that was given to the Police Department staff. The survey results were shared with the City Council at their March 2 nd ## Workshop. The Council members noted that although “Evergreen Lane” was a fine name (due to the evergreen trees lining the roadway), they preferred using “Civic” or “Community” to better associate with the new municipal governmental facility and grounds. Following that meeting, the City’s Leadership Team unanimously voted to rename “Scholarship Way” (old) to “Civic Way” (new). ## Recommendation: City Staff recommends approval of the Resolution, naming the new City Hall street as “Civic Way”. ## FISCAL IMPACT: The new street sign is estimated at $200 plus installation labor. 37 ## ALTERNATIVES/VARIATIONS: Do Not Act: The name will remain as Scholarship Way (private road), and City Staff will await further instructions. Negative Vote: The name will remain as Scholarship Way (private road), and City Staff will await further instructions. Modification of the Resolution: This is always an option .

Nowell ## Mayor 40 ## ATTEST: _________________________________ ## Todd Prafke ## City Administrator 41 ## Memorandum ## TO: Todd Prafke DATE: 4/10/2026 ## City Administrator ## FROM: Ben Baker Laura Sunnarborg ## Community Development Director Community Development Intern ## RE: Unforeseen Circumstance (Business Assistance) Micro Loan Program ## ACTION/RECOMMENDATION Adopt a Resolution, approving a new City/EDA loan program titled: “Unforeseen Circumstances Micro Loan Program”. ## BACKGROUND Based on City Council discussion and request, and after recently visiting several local food and drink establishments, it was discovered that some businesses are experiencing a loss of business revenue, which could be attributed to the increased federal agency presence during the December 2025 – March 2026 timeframe. A number of businesses reported a significant drop in revenue due to lower customer traffic compared to prior years. As a result of the situation, many businesses have seen significant reductions in cash flow which threaten their ability to meet their immediate needs. It should be noted that some business changes can be attributed to increased competition and seasonal trends. Based on feedback from the City Council and the EDA, the Community Development Department has created a new potential loan program that could assist businesses to address both immediate situations and future hardships due to community-wide impacts. Attached are loan guidelines for your review. While the idea for this program came from an increase in recent federal agency presence, it could be useful to businesses for a variety of unforeseen circumstances that impact a larger segment of businesses including natural disasters, infrastructure failures, public health emergencies, sudden regulatory or legal changes, or other localized emergencies. The program has been designed to support businesses in a similar way to previously C ouncil approved loan programs, including the US-169 Construction Mitigation Micro Loan Program (2009) and COVID-19 Hospitality Micro Loan Program (2020/2021). Many Saint Peter businesses took advantage of the timely business assistance loan programs and were able to remain open. Except for one food establishment, all funds from the 2009 US- 169 Loan Program were ultimately repaid as per the terms of the executed promissory note. Funds are currently in the process of being repaid for the COVID-19 Micro Loan Program and the majority of the loans are on track to be fully repaid before 2031. 42 Under the developed guidelines, Saint Peter businesses would be eligible for loans of up to $10,000 which would be offered at 0% interest. Similar to the 2009 program, the repayment of the loan would be deferred a maximum of six (6) months if the first initial monthly payment is due. When repayment begins, the loan would be repaid at a rate of $100 per month regardless of the loan amount. Earlier payoff would be allowed. Based on recent outreach to business owners, it was found that several businesses may take advantage of the new loan program. Funding for this program would be initially provided from your Revolving Loan Fund in an amount of $100,000. Once the currently allocated money is loaned out additional action would be needed on the part of the EDA and Council to provide additional funding or to make a determination of a larger impact emergency and provide for funding. The program will be made available to all permitted commercial uses, however, retail and hospitality uses may be prioritized. ## Loan Program Summary ## Loan Amount ## Max Loan Amount $10,000 Max Loan Based on Timeline Up to four (4) months of impact/expenses Max UC Loans per Business/Property Only 1 loan until fully paid off Land/Structure Use All permitted commercial uses First Payment Deferral Up to six (6) months ## Interest Rate 0% ## Minimal Payment Amount $100/month Repayment Schedule 8 years – and 4 months Security Promissory note (no additional collateral) Additionally, knowing how advantageous this loan is with 0% interest, to qualify for this micro loan, businesses must establish that they are indeed being affected by an atypical unforeseen circumstance when submitting the application. Applicants may provide additional information to demonstrate the case for eligibility, such as payroll/employment numbers, customer/traffic counts, and rent roll data. Furthermore, applicants may note impact related costs associated with property/building damage and repair work, construction disruptions, transportation issues, road/sidewalk closures and detours, supply chain delays/shortages, environmental factors, or other similar events. Indexable income/expense reports will be the primary source for determining eligibility. The majority of time, impacts from unforeseen circumstances should be attributed to a community- wide events/issues affecting more than just a single business/property. The legitimacy of the impacted business(es) will be reviewed and determined by the EDA based on a recommendation from the official EDA Subcommittee. The City Council will review and have final approval of all loan requests. At their meeting on March 26, 2026, the Economic Development Authority (EDA) recommended approval of the new loan program. ## FISCAL IMPACT: 43 The City’s Revolving Loan Report shows a loan fund balance at nearly $2.7 million and loans outstanding at around $800,000. Therefore, the total fund is approximately $3.5 million. For perspective, a proposed budget of $100,000 represents 3% of the entire fund. Since the new program is set up as a loan and not a grant, it is anticipated that most loan funds will be reimbursed into the revolving loan fund over a span of about 8¼ years. ## ALTERNATIVES/VARIATIONS: Do Not Act: City Staff will await further instructions. Negative Vote: City Staff will wait for additional direction. Modification of the Resolution: This is always an option. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns about this agenda item. ## BB/ls 44 ## UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES ## MICRO LOAN PROGRAM GUIDELINES ## 1.

Ordinance, approving a Residential Planned Unit Development (RPUD) ## BACKGROUND In 1854, the Original Plat of St. Peter was filed which dedicated three (3) public squares to the public use including Minnesota Square, Washington Square (Community Center), and Jefferson Square. An Amended Plat of Saint Peter was filed in 1859 since the Original Plat failed to establish section line or corner posts. The Amended Plat also established the same three (3) public squares. In the 1800s, a railroad was built which ran through the eastern portion of Jefferson Square. When the railroad terminated its service in the 1900s, the railroad sold its abandoned line/land, which once included a train depot, to H.W. Komatz. In 1965 H.W. Komatz sought a Quiet Title Action in District Court to declare H.W. Komatz to be the owner of all of Jefferson Square except for the westerly 122 ft. The westerly 122 ft. of the square was used as a municipal well/water filtration plant. After 1965, the easterly 208 ft. of Jefferson Square was developed into multiple residential structures, including two (2) single-family homes, a duplex/apartment, and four (4) townhome units. In 2010, the City of Saint Peter replaced the Jefferson Avenue Water Filtration Plant, at 1225 S Washington Avenue, with a new state-of-the-art reverse-osmosis water treatment plant, constructed just north of Gustavus Adolphus College at 1801 Broadway Avenue. Therefore, in 2011, the old water filtration plant was demolished, and the on-site wells were sealed. The land was left vacant and became a seldom used public property over the next fifteen (15) years. Over the years, the City solicited for and received a few proposals from land/building developers proposing to construct a townhome project on the unused parcel. However, those projects did not pan out. 49 In May 2024, Adam Huiras, ALH Land Company, submitted an offer on the subject property, proposing: 1) duplexes/townhomes up to eleven (11) units, or 2) multi-family residential up to fourteen (14) units. Due to construction timing issues, the project was put on hold by Huiras. In March 2025, Huiras submitted a revised offer for the subject property. That offer showed the site developing into four (4) residential twin-homes (8-units) with walk-out basement/garages, taking advantage of the sloping hillside. On December 8, 2025, the City Council reviewed an alternative design, submitted by Huiras, showing two (2) townhome buildings, that would hold up to eleven (11) units. Although the City Council was favorable moving forward with either development proposal, the developers decided to proceed with the original idea due to construction costs. In January 2026, the City signed an updated purchase agreement with ALH Land Company and Fox Valley Property’s, extending the closing date deadline to May 31, 2026. In preparation for the proposed residential development, new sidewalks were installed along Washington Avenue and Pine Street, with the 2024 Pine Street Road and Utility Reconstruction Project. New sewer, water, and stormwater connections, to/from the Subject Property, were also constructed with the 2024 Pine Street Project. At the time, the developer was made aware of the 2024 Pine Street Project and associated assessments, which will be covered in the land purchase price. The developer is planning to close on the property in March or April 2026, in order to start construction on the proposed development. The proposed development site will contain four (4) separate buildings/twin-homes (8 total units). Each building will host two (2) homes, including the following: • 1 front 5’ x 20’ porch • 1 living room • 1 dining room • 1 kitchen • 3 bedrooms, including a master bedroom • 1 office (or bedroom) • 3 bathrooms • 1 utility/storage room • 2-stall garage (attached) Due to the site topography, tuck under garages are planned, which will face the rear yard. The garage and off-street parking traffic is designed to funnel to a single two-lane driveway that leads to Pine Street (reducing traffic conflicts onto Jefferson Avenue and Washington Avenue). A curb- cut was already created to serve the subject property along with the 2024 Pine Street Project. The building footprint size is: 54’ x 52’ ( 2,808 sf) including the porch, and 54’ x 46’ (2,484 sf) without the porch. The developer plans to make the units available for purchase or rent. 50 ## PUD & PLAT OVERVIEW ## Location & Property Size: The subject property is located at and described as follows: ## Address: ## 1225 S Washington Ave ## Parcel ID: 19.412.0615 Legal - Current: The Westerly 122 feet of Jefferson Square, Original & Amended Plat ## Legal - Proposed: ## Lot 1, Block 1, Presidents Corner Subdivision ## Size: 0.8-Acres / 34,293 sf (~2-Acres Including Adjacent Streets/Right-of-Way) ## Property Owner: • Current Owner: City of Saint Peter (purchase agreement with the parties noted below) • Proposed Owner: ALH Land Company (Adam Huiras) and Fox Valley Property’s (Erik Dunker) ## Land Sale: On 9/29/2025 the Fifth Judicial Court Judge signed an order allowing the City of Saint Peter to sell the subject property and invest the proceeds in the improvement of Gorman Park (Document No. 355557). An amended order was signed on 3/23/26, updating the legal description to include all of the subject property. ## Project Engineer / Surveyor: • Michael M. Eichers, Land Surveyor – Bolton & Menk ## • Nathan P Myhra, Land Surveyor – Bolton & Menk ## Request: The applicant is requesting approval of a Residential Planned Unit Development (RPUD) and Preliminary/Final Plat for the development of four (4) twin-homes (8 units) on the subject property. ## Existing Conditions: The subject property is currently vacant with grass cover. It was previously the site of the municipal water treatment plant. The well(s) on site were properly sealed and inspected in August 2011 (Minnesota Department of Health H294893-209911 & H294894-2 09910). ## Zoning: The subject property is zoned as R-3, Multifamily Residential District. ## Use: “Duplex Residential” is listed as a Principal Permitted Use in the R-3 District 51 ## R- 3 Development Regulations ## Required Proposed Project Lot Area 6,000 sf (24,000 sf) 34,293 sf Lot Width 55 ft (220 ft) 281.15 ft Front Set. - Foundation 20 ft 20 ft Front Setback – Porch 20 ft 15 ft Side Setback 7 ft 5 ft Side Setback - Jefferson 20 ft 16.8 ft Side Setback – Pine 20 ft 17.6 ft Rear Setback 25 ft 56 ft ## Maximum Lot Coverage 70% (30% Green Space) 34% Maximum Building Height 45 ft 1-Story Front / 2-Story Rear The R-3 base zoning is not proposed to be changed. However, since the subject property will be a Residential Planned Unit Development (RPUD), the property will be shown with proper PUD Overlay zone hatching on the Official Zoning Map to distinguish it as a planned unit development, which allows for the subject property to have special development regulations (see below). Sec 24-506(4) provides the City the authority to reasonably change, alter, modify, or waive any provision of Chapter 24 (Land Use Regulations & Zoning) or Chapter 44 (Subdivisions). ## PUD Development Regulations ## Required PUD Standards Proposed Project Lot Area 24,000 sf 34,293 sf Lot Width 220 ft 281.15 ft Front Set. - Foundation 20 ft 20 ft Front Setback – Porch 15 ft 15 ft Side Setback 5 ft 5 ft Side Setback - Jefferson 15 ft 16.8 ft Side Setback – Pine 15 ft 17.6 ft Rear Setback 25 ft 56 ft ## Maximum Lot Coverage 70% (30% Green Space) 34% Maximum Building Height 45 ft 1-Story Front / 2-Story Rear ## Planned Unit Development – Findings: ## Public Benefit: • The PUD will provide more housing options, which is one of the City Council’s main goals. • The PUD will redevelop the 2-acere site (including 1-acre of adjacent right-of-way), into the highest-and-best-use of land, adding population growth, new property tax, and utility usage. The site previously hosted an outdated building, did not produce property taxes or jobs, and has now been vacant for 15-years. • The PUD will provide efficiency by utilizing and tapping into adjoining public streets/utilities and adding sidewalk connections to nearby parks/playgrounds, schools, and public spaces/buildings. 52 ## Common Open Space: • Common open space is proposed in all yards and around each home pad by means of an upcoming Common Interest Community (CIC) survey/plat. ## Parkland Dedication: • Due to the subject property’s proximity to nearby parks, playgrounds, and open spaces, the District Court did not find the need to continue the public use of the property. Per court order, $30,000 of the purchase price shall be directed towards the 2025-2027 Gorman Park Improvement Project (play/fitness equipment, trails, splash pad, landscaping, gardens, shade structures, benches, drinking fountains, irrigation, and lighting). • New sidewalks were recently installed along Washington Avenue and Pine Street. • Four (4) primary off-street parking spaces will be available for each unit (2 garage stalls and 2 driveway spaces). • The subject property is served by Pine Street with road access via a recently constructed curb-cut. Additionally, the subject property is surrounded by sidewalks on three sides. • Along with the 2024 Pine Street Project, sewer, water, and stormwater access was stubbed to/from the subject property to/from Pine street. • There is currently adequate electrical service available for the proposed redevelopment project. ## PUD Development Plan: The PUD Development Plan displays the location of the proposed homes, garages, driveways, and sidewalks overlaid on top of an existing conditions survey. The plan also shows setback information to property lines and between buildings. ## Preliminary Plat: The preliminary plat shows existing site conditions and proposed lot(s)/block(s), associated lot line dimensions, and nearby structures, including utility lines/boxes, trees, and sidewalks. ## Final Plat: The final plat displays the necessary plat items, including approval/signature blocks, orientation, and property lines/dimensions. Furthermore, the Final Plat shows the subject property being officially replatted as Lot 1, Block 1, Presidents Corner Subdivision along with the required perimeter easements (12’-wide along the 3 street sides and 36’-wide along the rear property line). ## Project Timeline: ## Completed ##  Approved Court Order to Sell Property ##  Project Review by City Council ##  Approved Purchase Agreement  City Staff Review (City Engineer/Surveyor, Public Works, Community Development, City ## Administrator, City Attorney)  Planning Commission (4/2/26) – Recommendation (Public Hearing) 53 ## Council Meeting (4/13/26) – Final Approval • Closing – April-May 2026 ## • Building Permit Review – April 2026 • Construction Starts – April-May 2026 At their meeting on April 2, 2026, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed residential planned unit development (Ordinance), preliminary plat, and final plat (Resolution). ## FISCAL IMPACT: The applicant has already paid the appropriate $1,100 application fee for the following land use requests: ordinance amendment ($300), preliminary plat ($400), and final plat ($400). The developer has not requested any financial incentives. Therefore, the property, which was previously owned by the City, will immediately start generating around $36,000 annually in new property taxes ($4,500 x 8 units) and new utility usage following construction. ## ALTERNATIVES/VARIATIONS: Do Not Act: City Staff will await further instructions. Negative Vote: The applicant and owner will be notified of the denial. Modification of the Resolution: This is always an option. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns about this agenda item. ## BB 54 ## S ## S ## D ## C ## F ## C ## C ## C ## M ## C ## C ## C ## C >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > l l l l l l l l l l l > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## G ## G ## G ## G ## G ## G ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E > > > > ## G ## G ## G ## G ## G ## G ## G ## G ## G ## G > > > > ## G ## G ## G ## G ## G ## G ## G ## G ## G ## G ## G ## G ## G ## G ## G ## G ## G ## G ## G ## G > > >> l l l ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## H ## S ## S ## S ## S ## F ## H ## H ## M ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## H ## C ## C ## C ## MEDIACOM ## MEDIACOM ## CONSOLIDATED > > ## C ## D ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## C ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## E ## D ## N 59°18'24" W 122.01 ## S 31°30'16" W 281.15 ## S 59°21'45" E 122.01 ## N 31°30'16" E 281.03 ## JEFFERSON AVENUE ## S WASHINGTON AVENUE ## W PINE STREET ## WEST LINE OF SECTION 20-110-26 ## EAST LINE OF SECTION 21-110-26 ## PROPOSED 15' FRONT YARD SETBACK ## PROPOSED 15' FRONT YARD SETBACK ## 25' REAR YARD SETBACK 120.00 80.00 80.00 120.00 120.00 80.00 80.00 ## S 5TH STREET ## LOT 1 ## BLOCK 1 ## 34,293 SQFT 832 830 825 823 822 827 825 822 820 818 829 830 12 12 12 12 ## 42.5' WIDE SANITARY AND WATERMAIN EASEMENT 42.50 42.50 12 ## 12 DRAINAGE & UTILITY EASEMENT ## 1960 Premier Drive ## Mankato, MN 56001 Phone: (507) 625-4171 H:\ALHLANCO_PR\24X137002000\CAD\C3D\137002_V_PLTF.dwg 4/2/2026 1:42 PM ## ©Bolton & Menk, Inc. 2026, All Rights Reserved ## FOR: ## DRAWN BY:FIELD BOOK:JOB NUMBER: ## PRELIMINARY PLAT ## SAINT PETER, MINNESOTA The westerly 122 feet of Jefferson Square, in ## the Town (now City) of St. Peter, Minnesota, according to the Original and Amended Plats ## ALH Land Company, LLC & ## Fox Valley Property's, LLC ## 25X.137002.000 ## NPM ## R ## R ## SCALE IN FEET 02550 _______________________________ ## Michael M.
