The city Council is requested to consider the purchase of a
software program which would enable us to maintain vehicle
inventory.and fleet management. I have received information from
Fleet Computing International regarding their "Fleet Controller
III" program. It is a program that has an advanced level of
capabilities but was designed to be adaptable for cities of all
sizes.
If we purchase this program we will be able to keep accurate and
current records of maintenance of our vehicles. This system will
interface with the system we have for the fuel pumps (GaSBoy).
We contacted cities in the metro area that have this software
program. All of them liked the program and had positive comments.
They felt it was thorough, flexible and easy to use. Golden
valley had the Logus System before and didn't like it because it
was too cumbersome. Minnetonka has had the "Fleet Controller III"
program for 5 years. They have a fleet of about 50 vehicles and
they are pleased with this program. Burnsville likes the system
because of its versatility.
The cost of the program is $1350.00. I have included in your
packet a copy of the proposal. The following is a breakdown of
where the funds will come from to pay for this program.

Computer Software program
We have to look at better control of our vehicle fleet and
tracking each vehicle better as far as preventative maintenance
cost, down time and the cost effectiveness of equipment
replacement. I didn't get a chance to discuss this with the Fire
Department but, if they want to get in on this purchase it would
cut down the price for each department. There is room for thier
records on this package.
I thank you for adding this item to your agenda. Money is left in
the above budget for the purchase if you approve. Our
Administration/Public Works Secretary, Karen Tommerdah1, has
placed many calls to other cities and general businesses checking
out fleet maintenance software and feels, along with myself, that
this is one of the best to suit our needs.

Most Fleet Controller summary reports can be selected by vehicle. division. or vehicle type for month. year.
or Iife-to-date. prior months or prior years, In addition you can add up any series of months you wish to
make quarterly or semi-annual type reports that show all of the months' costs for each vehicle (or vehicle
type for vehicle type reports) within the month range you selected, The exceptions to this are the
CATEGORIZED EXPENSES BY VEHICLE and CATEGORIZED EXPENSES BY VEHICLE TYPE reports which
omit monthly accumulation, (It really does not make any sense to see the monthly brake system cost for
example, . , . but annual and life-to-date are useful and they are provided,)
Non summary reports have options that are related to their specific functions, For instance, the
inventory reports allow you to select by STATUS (ONROAD. OFFROAD. etc.)
Most reports allow you a list of data items from which you can make exception reports. We offer equal
to. equal to or greater than. equal to or less than. and range as selection control options.
~.J
Usually. a variety of sort options are offered, Vehicle listings are typically offered in straight vehicle number
order or in department/vehicle type and then vehicle number order within department/vehicle type,
Many reports are between 80 and 132 characters wide and require either a wide (132 character) printer or
that you enter your printer's compressed (small character that allows 132 character in a normal 80
character space) mode,

REQUEST
The Andover City Council is asked to review and approve the
attached amended Ordinance #29.
BACKGROUND
Over the past nine months the Planning and Zoning Commission has
labored in an attempt to amend Ordinance No. 29. The primary goal
was to create an enforceable Ordinance that can control the
epidemic of disease on shade trees in Andover. During this
process the need for a diseased shade tree program became
evident.
At the Public Hearing on November 27, 1990 a number of residents
spoke out against the Ordinance and would prefer not to see any
tree ordinance at all.
Attached are the Planning & Zoning Commission reports and minutes
from the meetings in October and November. Also attached is a
resident petition opposing the use of municipal funds for diseased
tree abatement.

(Public Hearing Continued: Ordinance No. 44, Junkyards)
\
,J
MOTION by Vistad, Seconded by Jovanovich, that we send
Council with approval of the Andover Planning and Zon g Commission
the Ordinance 44 ordinance regulating and licensing utomotive
recycling yards and/or Junkyards and dealers and r. pealing Ordinance
No.9 with the appropriate changes that we mave de at tonight's
meeting. Public hearing was held and there we comments made; six
people spoke, all six were In objection to t ordinance. DISCUSSION:
Commissioner Ferris had a problem with al the changes. The Council
aksed them to look at the height of the ence so the ordinances agree,
not to control the stacking or to rewr' e It. He had a hard time with
the fact that the City wi)1 not sit wn and work with the yards to
come up with some methodology to w ch everyone can agree. He said he
didn't like continually making or Inances that increase costs of
running a business hoping to ev tually run them out of business. The
only other constructive chang was on Section 4.7. Putting up the
fence wil I not hide the Junk one bit. He did not see this as a
venture to get the City an the owners to work any closer together; in
fact he felt it is Just e opposite.
Mr. Lund - appreciate Commissioner Ferris's honesty. He asked what
they can do about i . The ordinance does keep changing and eventually
it wil I be change to something they cannot afford to do. More than
anything he'd Ii to sit down and find out what they all have to do.
Chairperson Pe e suggested talking to the Councilmembers individually
eetlng to see If something could be worked out. There
will be cha es with progress. but everyone has to learn to live
There has been input from those in the recycling community,
s as an opportunity to solve some of the problems.
5-Yes, l-No (Ferris), l-Absent <Coleman)
This will to' go the CI ty Counci"I on December 18.
PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED: ORDINANCE NO. 29 DISEASED SHADE TREES
Mr. Carlberg reviewed the changes made to Ordinance 29 since it was
before the Commission on November 13. One concern is the authority
given the Tree Board in the ordinance. Staff thinks it should be more
of a citizens' group to set up programs and activities and citizen
participation, etc., not be in control of establishing control areas
or enforcing the details of the ordinance itself. After some
.: discussion;--the Commission generallyagreed;' ..-..... --..-
~-cCommissioner-Ferris expressed his concern of implementing an.ordinance
that has the potential of imposing large financial hardships upon the
,- residents. The ordinance Is ineffective if neither the residents
~) nor.the City can afford to do it. He also wanted to see the control
areas recommended.
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Minutes - November 27, 1990
:.J Page 6
(Public Hearing Continued: Ordinance No. 26, Diseased Shade Trees)
Commissioner Ferris felt enforcing this ordinance could cost a
property owner more than the value of the property. There is a need
for it, but there is no funding for It. But the City cannot get
funding without the ordinance.
(The Commission recessed at this time to have more copies of the
proposed ordinance made for those present. 8:50; reconvened at 9:00
p.m. )
David Stephenson. Plant Health Special ist. Minnesota Department of
Aqrlculture - agreed that a Tree Commission should be an advisory
group, not one that enforces the ordinance. The Diseased Tree
Ordinance has been in effect since the mid-1970s. This proposal has
only a few minor changes and is one of the criteria for cost-sharing
of dollars and other programs for the control of diseased trees. They
are in the process of drafting a Joint Powers Agreement with Anoka
County for the use of the vibrating plow being purchased. That plow
wil I be made available at no cost to the cities who have an ordinance
in place.
Mr. Stephenson explained the control areas are to begin the management
of the problem and could be either a highly-diseased area to stop the
danger of spreading onto other properties or to keep an area which is
already disease-free from being infected. If the ordinance was not in
place, the cost could be even higher because the number of diseased
trees will increase. They are looking at control areas that will
cover the entire community within three years or as agreed to. The
Intent is to control the disease and prevent it from spreading off the
property.
Ann Sikora - stated her oaks are dying from Chestnut Bore, not oak
wilt. Mr. Stephenson acknowledged that the Chestnut Bore is a problem
because the,trees have been .weakened by the drought. This ordinance
does not deal with that, only with the spread of the Identifiable
problem of oak wilt disease and what Is required to be done about it.
Ms. Sikora - has been planting trees for 40 years. The oaks are
dying, but other trees are taking their place. She couldn't see why
an ordinance Is needed. She has over 100 acres of woods, stating she
has had..more exper lence _wi th those woods than any CI ty Forester.
Mr. - Stephenson rev i ewed the aerl a I surveyma.p-of where - oak w il t
appears in the City, showing there is a significant problem in
--Andover. He felt is is controllable. The Commission also explained
the ordinance has been in place for many years, and this has been an
:~ attempt to get funding for Andover from outside sources.

(Public Hearing Continued: Ordinance No. 26, Diseased Shade Trees)
~ -
Ms. Sikora - argued the State has no money either, again feeling new
trees should be planted. Chairperson Pease said the Idea was to be
able to get help for the Individual property owners and to try to
control the problem.
Art Jaworski. 3230 173rd Lane NW - stated in 1973 when the ordinance
was adopted he the tree Inspector. He wondered why this is being done
allover again, asking when the City stopped having a tree inspector.
He asked for a little historical background on the matter. Mr.
Stephenson gave some background on the proposals and funding on the
State level since the mid-1970s.
Mr. Jaworski - stated this was all done before. He thought
educating the poeple is the most important thing to do, feeling that
is where Andover dropped the bal I. Many of the people moving out here
didn't know how to take care of their trees. Mr. Stephenson explained
in 1981 the shade tree program in the State was cut because of a
budget crunch. The funds were restored in 1985, and programs were
started again on a smaller scale. Now Federal dollars are becoming
available for suppression of forest disease and insect programs,
referencing the cost-sharing done by Anoka County to purchase a
vibrating plow. The cost share will be with communities only on a
one-to-one basis.
Someone asked how effective the vibrating plow is. Mr. Stephenson
stated about 85 percent by those who know what they are doing.
Ron? . 170th and Ivywood - disagreed and explained the problem in
his area, the things they did to stop the disease, with the result
being that most of his and one neighbor's trees are gone and all of
those on another neighbor's lot.
Mr. Jaworski - disagreed with the gentleman, explaining the
precautions taken In his area which resulted In no further spread
_______of oak wilt. He~,thought the key is going deep enough to get the
roots. Mr. Stephenson thought it sounded lik~ the gentleman had~
Chestnut Bore, not oak wilt.
CJ
Mr. Jaworski - wondered what the cost will be to the residents for
enforcing the ordinance with the addition of a full-time forester,
etc. He again stated his belief that a good educational program is
more_important.. The Commission noted there have been educational
programs in place-for- y-ears but morels needed.tosolvethe problem.-'
O~~. of the problems the Commission has tried to address has been cost,
but it is J~st not possible to make that determination. It will
depend on what the City decides to do for control areas, budget
allocations, etc. One change in the ordinance Is to expedite
enforcement in a timely manner. There are some people who Just do not
care if the disease spreads to surrounding properties, and this should
help in that respect.
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Minutes - November 27, 1990
,::) Page 8
<Public Hearing Continued: Ordinance No. 26, Diseased Shade Trees)
Rav Sowada. Cltv Tree Inspector - has been the tree Inspector since
1978. The problem with the existing ordInance Is having to notify the
Council of a problem. People are Interested In this Issue, and this
is an attempt to update the ordinance and begin a program to save
people's trees. However, he only spends 4 to 6 percent of his time on
the tree program; and most of that Is In educating people.
Ms. Sikora - didn't see how the disease could be stopped on her 100
acres. She can't keep up with it, though she recognized it is the
Chestnut Bore, not oak wilt. Mr. Sowada talked about several methods
of stopping the spread of oak wilt, including covering the cut wood
during early sp~ing and summer months.
Leon KozlowskI. 1021 Crosstown Boulevard - asked for a definition of
shade trees. Mr. Sowada stated they are deciduous trees such as oak,
elm, ash. Mr. Kozlowski felt shade tree is one which provides shade
for his lawn and building areas, not those on large parcels of land of
10, 40, or 100 acres. As he reads the ordinance, it is a far reaching
approach to the entire city. . It gives ~ore power to the tree
inspector than the police department has. He also felt it is very
restrictive, referring to the last portion on licensing and bonding
to remove trees. That adds to the expense, plus having to remove the
diseased wood and the stump and having to obtain a permit. He also
felt it Is contradictory to require the removal of the diseased wood,
yet it is illegal to transport the wood within the City. He -asked
where that wood can be taken.
'Discussion noted one reason for the ordinance Is because people were
bringing diseased wood Into Andover and dumping it. The Tree
Inspector can permit the wood to be transported.out of the City. The
tree disposal site in Bunker Hills has been closed, so now It must be
taken to Ramsey or East Bethel. There Is an obligation to obtain a
permit from the City so it knows what activity Is taking place;
however, there wll I be no cost for that permit. A property owner may
take down his own trees. The licensing and bonding Is required only
of those companies being hired to take down trees and Is for the -
protection of the property owner. The wood can also be used for
firewood as long as it Is covered during the appropriate time of year
to prevent the spread of the disease.
Mr. Kozlowski - still felt a definition of shade tree Is needed and
thaL.thearea being considered needs to be.defined.. He didn't feel
the intent of the ordinance was to apply to those areas of ~he-house
on 100 acres, but to the higher density areas. The Commission
explained the intent Is to control the spread of the disease. 'At this
time, no control area has been defined. They also felt the ordinance
:~ clearly states what trees are included.

<Public Hea.ing Continued: O.dinance No. 26, Diseased Shade T.ees)
Sophie Kozlowski - felt Andove. should have a t.ee restoration
program. She has been planting trees for 40 years,
Mr. Kozlowski - summarized what Is being said Is the City is
planning to spend a lot of money eradicating diseased trees. He felt
it would be wiser to spend the money on replanting trees that will
live in this area. He didn/t feel the oak was indigenous to the area
because of the solis. M.. Stephenson strongly disagreed, that the oak
is native to the area. The p.oblem is when people start moving into an
area. The.e a.e ways to protect the oak that needs to be followed by
p.ope.ty owners, builde.s, etc. He then .eviewed some of the
p.ecautions to take .ega.ding sto.age of diseased oak wood, the
t.imming of oak t.ees, and .emoval of diseased t.ees.
Nancy Erickson - thought Section 9 was too .est.ictive, that it may
be un.ealistic to .emove al I t.ees within 20 days. She has been
wo.king on he. p.oblem fo. th.ee yea.s. M.. Stephenson stated the 20
days .efe.s to abatement, that is determining a cou.se of action, not
to the actual .emoval itself. The.e is a va.iance p.ovision fo.
ha.dship, and the .emoval of 50 t.ees, as an example, would be
conside.ed a ha.dship.
Garv Lensman. 153rd and Nlohtenoale - asked who pays the expenses
fo. t.ee .emoval in the cont.ol a.ea, the City o. the p.ope.ty owne..
If it is the City, then everyone ends of paying for It. If It Is the
p.ope.ty owne., conceivably it could cost mo.e than the house and
p.ope.ty a.e worth. He hoped the money wouldn/t come f.om his pocket,
but he didn/t see much funding coming from eithe. the State of Fede.al
gove.nments, at least not enough to make any difference. For the past
20 yea.s the City has had an o.dlnance but hasn/t. been enfo.clng it.
He asked fo. an explanation of how the county is pu.chaslng the
vib.ating plow and what othe. cities have this o.dlnance.
Commissione. Fe..is stated financing is his conce.n also. He felt it
is a good o.dinance, but he doesn/t know whe.e the money will come
. f.om to enfo.ce it. M.. Stephenson b.iefly outlined the funding and
p.oposed plan fo. use of the vlb.ating plow that will be available to
cities in the county. Ove. 100 othe. cities have this o.dinance
including Anoka, Ramsey, Llno Lakes and Blaine.
The Commission again noted that the o.dinance was updated so that the
City could pa.tlcipate in using the vlb.ating plow and be eligible fo.

made to the o.dlnance that has been In effect.

<Public Hearing Continued: Ordinance No. 26, Diseased Shade Trees)
The Commission stated this Is only the process of updating tbe
ordinance. No funding has been allocated yet, but they noted the Eden
Prairie budget for Forestry of $139,000 for 1989. Right now Andover
does not have the funding nor the staff, which makes it difficult.
Mr. Lensman ~ stated the City does not have a good tax base to
generate taxes. His fears were as the City continues to grow, more
needs are generated. Given that and the bond issues already passed,
he was concerned about becoming the highest taxed city in the
metropolitan area.
Ms. Kozlowski - stated the taxes were low. then everyone started
moving out here, and more fire stations, schools, etc., were needed.
She predicted people will just be leaving their homes when the taxes
get too high. The Commission felt many people move to Andover
because they like the vicinity, the open spaces, and the trees. There
was continued discussion with those present about their fears of
higher costs and higher taxes, aggravated by the predicted recession.
Mr. Kozlowski - asked if Section 13 is new and about the current
City budget for this. Mr. Sowada said no, just the word "Forester" was
added. This means that the property owner cannot lnterfer with the
Forester performing his duties. The current budget has very little in
It for this. Mr. Sowada also reviewed the process he uses to notify
property owners and working with them to correct the problem.
Mr. Lensman - said according to Section 7, B, he has to give notice
of said inspection through oral or written notice. He felt It should
be written so there is documentation. The Commission also explained
the legal notice when put In the Anoka Union, the City/s official
newsspaper.
Harold Sullivan. 15300 Prairie Road - asked the cost to establish
the program and how much funding will come from the State. The
Commission noted those figures are not known exactly, but a staff of
six or seven people would be needed to enforce the ordinance
city-wide. Without knowing the control areas, the cost factor cannot
be determined. The amount that can be done will ultimately determine
by the dollars that will be budgeted by the Council.
:~J
Mr. Sullivan - felt that staff already exists on the county and
state level, plus at the University of Minnesota, to help with
education, answer questions, etc. He felt it may be possible to get a
lIttle funding-from the State, but he-thought this Is just a futi Ie
attempt to solve the problem. He wanted to know how much money it
will cost to get the ordinance and people In place in order to get
some outside funding. The Commission did not know for sure. again
referring to the budgeted items in Eden Prairle/s 1989 budget for

Forestry. Several resIdents didn't feel Andover had to do what other
cIties are doing. The Commission explaIned they gather ordinances
from other citIes for Ideas and reference and then draft an ordinance
that wIll work for Andover.
Ms. Sikora - felt the City is not consIderIng the "old timers" who
cannot contInue paying higher and hIgher taxes.
Mr. Jaworski - asked when this ordinance wIll be In place.
Chairperson Pease hoped it would be passed onto the City Council
tonIght for theIr consIderatIon on December 18. Funding Is a defInIte
factor, and she felt that other sources such as sharing with other
communitIes, wil I need to be explored.
Mr. Kozlowski - noted the ordinance is vague in the specific
requirements for abatement. Mr. Jaworski - stated the natural
solution to the problem is the burn that used to go through these
areas periodically. It would kill some trees, new ones would take its
place. That's not possible now. He commended the CommIssion for
making the effort on thIs issue.
MOTION by Ferris, Seconded by Vistad, to close the public hearing.
Motion carried unanimously.
The CommissIon continued discussion on the ordinance itself, the main
concern of Commissioners Ferris and Vistad beIng the overwhelmIng cost
that could be encountered by the property owner. They felt a cap
should be set on the total cost to a property owner wIthIn a tax year.
That amount could be adjusted each year just as other fees are.
CommIssioner Peek was not In favor of a cap.
There was also concern about enacting an ordInance that cannot be
enforced because of the lack of fundIng. The fear was for hugh costs
to the resIdents both In terms of taxes to fInance enforcement and to
the Individual property owner who has many trees to be removed.
Discussion noted the size of the control area wIll In part be
determIned by the sIze of the budget allocated by the CouncIl to thIs
item.
The Commission also agreed the authority of the Tree Board should only
be a recommending body to the CouncIl. The CommIssIon noted those In
attendance this evening generally opposed a tree ordinance. Mr.
Carlberg noted he receIved a call from someone In favor of the
ordInance who saId they would have a petItIon of 7 to 20 names
supportIng It. Ms. SIkora stated she could bring lh a petitIon wIth
many signatures opposed to It.

<Public Hearing Continued: Ordinance No. 26, Diseased Shade Trees)
Section 3, B - The Tree Board will assist the Forest/Tree-Inspector
in establishing and prioritizing control areas, promulgate rules,
regulations, standards and specifications, and advise the City
Council of recommended actions.
Section 9. G - add the wording that a cap of what a resident could
be assessed for be the maximum of $500 in a tax year.
For the rest of the ordinance to go as written. There was a public
hearing and there were a number of people that preferred not to see
any tree ordinance at all.
Change ail references of Tree Board to Tree Commission.
There were a number of residents that were going to be on a petition
that were in favor of the ordinance, and there was favorable response
received over the phone that we were working on a tree ordinance.
VOTE ON MOTION: YES-Ferris, Jonak, Pease, Vistad; NO-Jovanovich.
Peek, ABSENT-Coleman. Motion carried.
Chairperson Pease - voted yes but is not certain a cap is needed or
what the appropriate dollar amount would be; however, I do feel
something Is needed to get started on the problem.
Commissioner Vlstad - feels that we definitely do need a cap to
protect our residents because the people with even one acre of heavily
wooded land. If we don/t have a cap, depending upon political changes
that take place or who makes the decisions on what can and should be
done, can receive an extreme financial hardship on that particular
resident. I do not feel that we should do that. . We have an
obligation to the people In our community to try to work with our
people to the best of those people/s ability without causing extreme
financial problems with those residents.
Chairperson Pease - agreed, but didn/t know how that could be'put in
an ordinance and dldn/t know what dollar amount It should be
Commissioner Ferris - agreed with Commissioner Vistad emphatically,
but reminds the Council that our objective here was to seek
alternative funds for solving our problem, that we must be careful
that those alternative funds are not from the coffers of our
residents; I think the cap is most essential; I would never have
voted yes for this unless that cap was there. Knowing from Mr.
Stephenson that it does allow us to seek those alternative funds, I
feel this Is a way to meet the objective without assuring that the
City or its residents are overburdened by the cost of it.

M~. Ca~1 e~g stated the indicatIon was any FHA financIng would be only
fo~ those ~eas that a~e two to th~ee city lots f~om the junkya~ds,
that the~e uld need to be a buffe~ between the junkya~ds and FHA

not much else e City can do wIth the fencIng .equI.ements as It
pe~talns to FHA inancing of p~ope.ties adjacent to the junkya~d
a~eas. The~e was ome f.ust~ation ove. lack of p.og.ess in cleaning

eliminate the junkya s, and that the location fo. Comme.cial

They felt the Council sH uld be making a pol'Icy statement .ega.dlng

DIscussion was on the responsIbIlItIes of a Tree Board. It was felt
that body would recommend the control areas and determine the bUdget
needs, with Staff advIsing them. Mr. Carlberg felt that two
addItional Staff people would be needed to carry out the Intent of the
ordinance. He also noted a developer's agreement also needs to be
establIshed to protect trees durIng constructIon and for some type of
reforestation program, though he did not think that agreement should
be a par~ of Ordinance 29.
The Commission generally agreed the draft ordinance reviewed at the
October 23 meeting should stand with the exception o~ adding a section
to establish a Tree Board. Also, add that the cont~ol areas will be
established from time to time as. required by the CIty Councilor at
the direction of the Tree Board. The Commission agreed the Council
should determine who makes up the Tree Board and how many members it
should have.

AGENDA ITEM
5. Discussion - Cost Factor
& Control Areas - Ord #2
Diseased Shade Trees
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT
Planning ~
David L. Carlberg,
BY: Ci ty Planner
APPROVED FOR
AGENDA
BY:
At the October 23, 1990 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting
the Commission requested Staff to research cost factors relating
to the diseased shade tree program and apply them to the
designated control areas. The following is a list of questions
from the Commission.
1. High-low cost range for trenching, tree and stump
removal near buildings and in open woods.
2. Administrative costs for inspections, talking with
residents, coordinating trenching and tree removal.
3. Cost of providing brush removal and locations brush can
be hauled for disposal.
4. Cost of a chipping program.
5. Unit costs as applied to the proposed control areas.
Upon researching reliable sources to answer the above stated
questions, staff realizes that the ability to quantify a certain
amount or cost is very difficult. The questions will now be
discussed in greater detail.
Question #1
The question as to the high-low costs of trenching, tree and stump
removal can be viewed in two ways: on a per tree basis or perhaps
the most desirable, on a man hour basis.
o
. -~. .-----
-'The trenching costs can be directly related to the City's ability
to secure the use of the vibrating plow from Anoka County. The
cost of trenching would then be the man hour time needed to
operate the plow ($10-20/hr). To be considered for the vibrating
plow, the City must meet the criteria established by Minnesota
Shade Tree Advisory Committee (MSATC) Oak Wilt Task Force's Cost-
Share Program. The criteria were viewed by the Commission at the
last meeting;q-Otherwise,~-.'a plow rented-from a contractor can cost
from $75-$125/hr and the majority set a minumum price of around
$350, w~ic:h_.~a_r_ies depen_ding. upon_,the contractor. ~ .
The cost for tree removal on a per tree basis can range anywhere
from $1,200 for a tree removed near a building to free if the tree
is removed from a wooded lot for use as a fuel or recreational
fire. The cost on a per hour basis can range from $50-$75/hr in
the winter and fall .
<J
Page Two
Discussion Diseased Trees
November 13, 1990
Question #2
The administrative costs for inspections, talking with residents
and coordinating trenching and tree removal can be based on an
hourly rate of $10-$20. The amount of time staff (includes
Forester, Tree Inspector, and Part-time Inspectors) spends doing
administrative duties is hard to quantify. When a program is
being started more time is spent talking with residents and doing
inspections. As the program progresses more time will be 'spent
coordinating tree removal and trenching. A strong educational
program for Andover residents should be a major component of the
diseased. tree program. The Anoka County Extension Office would
play an integral part in the resident education phase of the
program. Consult the attached budget information from the City of
Eden Prairie for personnel service costs. .
Question #3
The cost for providing brush removal depends on the role the City
chooses to take when establishing a program. The City of Eden
prairie requested $7,000 for hauling trees for disposal in their---'-
1990 budget. (see attached budget, contractual services) The cost
of disposal at a wood waste site can range from $2-12 per cubic
yard for brush and trees, and $10 or more depending on size for
stump disposal. Coon Rapids charges a resident $25 for pickup at
curbside with no restrictions on the amount removed. This will
probably change with the closing of the Anoka County Diseased Wood
Site. A list of wood waste disposal sites will be available at
the ,meeting for your review.
Question *4
The cost of a chipping program is again hard to quantify. With an
approved Ordinance #29 and the ability of the City's program to
meet the criteria for cost-share programs and grants, a chipper
can be secured on a 50/50 match program through, for example, the
Minnesota Office of Waste Management (OWM). The City of Ramsey
currently has a chipping program and another option would be to
enter into an agreement with Ramsey to use their chipper.
CJ
Question #5
The ability to apply unit costs to the proposed control areas at
. this- time .is .impossible-. . The wide "range of cost factors for
administration, tree removal, waste disposal, etc. make it
difficult to set a certain dollar figure on anydefinedcontrol--
area. The problem of how to establish control areas needs to be
discussed before any cost factors can be applied. Questions
raised include: How do we define control areas? What areas
should be considered high priority? What criteria do we use to
"
'-...../
'J
Page Three
Discussion - Diseased Trees
November 13, 1990
distinguish these areas? Should areas with high residential
density, areas slated for new development and parks be considered
as high priority areas? These are just a few questions
that need to be answered. The best way to answer these questions
is to establish a tree board who will in conjunction with staff,
define the control areas in the City of Andover.
REVIEW
Upon doing the research to the above questions, time and time
again the need to develop a diseased tree program was evident.
The acceptance of Ordinance #29 appears to be the first step in
the direction of developing the program. Upon passage of the
Ordinance, the funding can then be evaluated, appropriate staff
can be hired, a tree board can be established and the necessary
steps can be taken to remedy our epidemic diseased tree problem.

ner Vlstad said the lenders are already aware of the problem,
feeling t' would give additional information as to the effect of the
businesses a the type of screening lending institutions might
prefer. Chai rson Pease wondered if that is within their scope.
The objective was 0 determine the FHA standards.
After further discussi the Commission agreed to table the item on

MOTION by Ferris, Seconded by Coleman, to so move.
unanimously.
PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED: ORDINANCE NO. 29 DISEASED SHADE TREES
David Stephenson, Plant Health Specialist of the Department of
Agriculture, pointed out the criteria for participation in cost-share
programs in the Agenda packet. In updating the CIty's Diseased Shade
Tree Ordinance, he did so with three things in mind: 1) the biOlogy
of the tree diseases and problems; 2) how this o.r:dinance-relates to
State Statute; and 3) how this ordinance relates to the cost-share
program criterIa. The proposed ordinance wil I meet all those crIterIa.
Mr. Stephenson noted the State of Minnesota is actively pursuing
"cost-share 'mon 1 es" from the . Un ited-States' For-est Servi te-'as'well"-as:~the~:='=-"
State of MInnesota to use for oak wilt suppression. This year they -.
received $50,000 of the $150,060 they requested. All $50,000 Is
initIally earmarked for Anoka/County. The DNR has contributed another
$25,000. The Anoka County Board has also agreed to add additional
funds and has put together requests for proposals to purchase a
vIbrating plow. Hopefully the plow will be available by next summer

would be priority areas, in which the ordinance would appl~~ so the
entire City would not have to be done initially. The criteria
specifies they would like to see the entire City covered within three
years. All species of oak in Minnesota are a problem and have been
included in the ordinance, though it is only the red oak that are the
spore producers. A good point is the ordinance is not confined to oak
wilt, pine bark beetle and dutch elm disease. The City may want to do
what the State does, and that is to put together the rules and
regulations separate from the ordinance that spell out in more detail
the procedures that need to be followed. The new Section 6,
Inspection and Investigation, has been revised to meet State Statutes.
I
I,
Mr. Stephenson continued tha~ Section 6, Subsection 3, allows the Tree
Inspector to make a diagnosis based upon accepted field symptoms or to
send in samples for laboratory analysis only i"f he deems it necessary.
They teach and certify those making the inspections on how to
diagnose tree diseases. In the new Section 7, the abating of the
nuisance is within the control area and wil I be treated in accordance
with current teChnology and plans as designated by the Commissioner of
Agriculture. That treatment changes from time to time and doesn't
need to be.'i ncorpora ted' into the ordi nances. - To. preven t root 'graf t
transmission of oak wilt, they will be requiring cities to require
a barrier to be created between diseased and healthy trees. The depth
of the trench has been changed to 52 inches. He also guessed the
greatest cause of oak wilt spread in Andover now is not by root graft
but by overland spread caused by new development.
Mr. Stephenson noted under Section 8, Subsection 3, he set the
administrative cost at S100, thinking it provides more of a deterrent
for the resident just allOWing the City to do the work and being
,assessed for It. This Is a recommendation, but that cost can be set
-at any thing the City feels is appropriate. There are some costs
Involved on the part of the City, the greatest one being the time
spent with the resident explaining what needs to be done and the
coordinating of the control efforts.

Dear Mayor and Council:
The following is confmnation of engineering matters discussed at the regular Council Meeting of
December 4, 1990:
1. 90-23 Feasibility Report - Clemens Comer, Conunission No. 9862
Mr. Davidson did present the feasibility report dated December 4, 1990. The report was
prepared to outline utility costs for Phase I development of Lot I for Neighborhood
Business use.
The developer (Wagner Corporation) has requested a deferred assessment to Lot 2 (East
1/2 of Frontage along Bunker Lake Boulevard).
Future watermain along Hanson Boulevard and future lateral sewer along the easterly
side of the Clemens property will be constructed and assessed with future phases of
development.
TIle development contract must include acknowledgement of these future costs and
agreement to future assessment against Lot I for watermain loop systems,
Stonn drainage must include mitigation of ftlling present low areas (ponding) which
occur naturally on the site, Approximately four acre-feet of storage must be retained on
the Clemens property. Hanson Boulevard and Bunker Lake Boulevard drainage
presently tributary to the site must be retained upon or through the fill areas.
Traffic patterns must be defmed within the site plan review process. Anoka County Road
78 (Hanson Boulevard) and County Road 16 (Bunker Lake Boulevard) will be upgraded
to four lane divided and channelization of their intersection. Access to the proposed site
will be restricted.

2. Water System - US EPA Regulations
Mr. Davidson presented an article published in a recent American Water Works
Association Newsletter "Update" related to Radium 226 and 228 Standards (See Article
attached).
TIle radium concentrations in the Andover water supply would fall well below the 20
pCi/L proposed standard for each isotope.
Water quality improvements that related to iron and manganese concentrations can be
removed by simple fJ.lter processes.
Mr. Davidson suggested that the next two water system improvements to consider should
be the addition of Well and Pumphouse No.4 and the 16" watermain connection from
Elevated Tank No.2 to Andover Boulevard along Crosstown Boulevard (CR 18).
It is expected that CR 18 would be improved by Anoka County Highway department
within the near future from Andover Boulevard to Hanson Boulevard.
The Engineer was excused at approxinlately 10:00 PM.

New understanding of such mechanisms, write Bruce N. Ames and Lois
Swirsky Gold of Berkeley, "undermines many assumptions of current regulatory
policy toward rodent carcinogens and necessitates rethinking the utility and
meaning of routine animal cancer tests." They conclude that without cancer-
mechanism data, determining that a chemical is carcinogenic in' test animals
"provides no information about low-dose risk to humans."
In their study of the role of cell proliferation in carcinogenesis,
Samuel M. Cohen and Leon B. Ellwein of Nebraska concluded that a more thorough
understanding of cancer mechanisms will allow regulatory agencies to take "a
more rational approach" for extrapolating high-dose data from animal tests to
low-dose exposures faced by humans.
USEr! solicits additional public comment on lead rule. Facing a court
order to promulgate a final lead rule by December, USEPA has asked for
additional public comment on three aspects of the rule.
In a Federal Register notice that was to have been published early this
month, USEPA solicted comments on a time frame for implementing corrosion
control requirements, whether to require large systems to optimize corrosion
control even if they meet the lead standard, and whether the agency should be
authorized to revise state corrosipn control plans for water utilities. The
notice also lists additional documents used to support the agency's lead
control strategy; they include an AWWA survey on replacing lead service lines
and an AWWA Research Foundation. manual on lead control strategies.
U~KPA to proposed radon standard of 300 pCi/L. USEPA has taken a
conservative approach to regulating radon in drinking water, opting to propose
a radon standard of 300 pCi/L. The agency, which in September revealed its
intentions regarding regulating radionuclides, had considered proposing a
radon standard somewhere between 200 and 2,000 pCi/L. In regulating radium
226. radium 228. and uranium, the agency will propose standards that reflect a
stronge~ i_nf1uence of cost-effectiveness: the proposed standard for eR~h ~
be 20 pCi/L. USEPA, however, will solicit comment on a standard of 5 pCi/L
-K2r the two radium isotopes and uranium the lowest feasible regulatory
level. The agency is under court order to propose the radionuclides rule by
Jan. 25, 1991.
AWWA offers comments on wetlands protection. Drinking water development
projects can be consistent with a national policy preventing further loss of
wetlands, AWWA told the US Domestic Policy Council's Task Force on Wetlands.
Speaking at a recent public hearing on "no net loss" strategies, Fred Pontius,
AWWA associate director for regulatory affairs, said each water supply project
and.wetland area must be evaluated on its own merits.
Pontius iterated AWWA's support of a no net loss policy that is applied
on a regional basis and that assesses wetlands according to their functional
values. He also expressed association support for mitigation banking,
consideration of compensatory mitigation early in the Clean Water Act section
404 permitting process, and refining wetlands delineation criteria so that
they better identify true wetlands resources.

STATE OF MINNESOTA
DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE
December 11, 1990
To:
Fr:
You are no doubt wondering about the implications of the recently
announced state fiscal forecast for your own situation and for state aids to
local governments. At this point, nobody has any definite answers, but I want
to share with you what I do know and to offer some comments from my
perspective prior to the end of my term as Commissioner of Revenue. I hope
they will be useful to you.
I believe that these are the key points:
1. The December 15 aid payments will be made in full and on time.
2. The Department of Revenue will shortly certify the amounts of HACA
currently scheduled to be paid in calendar 1991 (fiscal 1992). However,
these amounts may well be changed by the 1991 legislature.
3. The legislature could require you to repay a portion of the December aid
payment if it determines that drastic measures are necessary to improve
the state's 1991 fiscal situation.
4. The legislature could choose to reduce the calendar 1991 aids, which
would affect the state's fiscal position in 1992, but not 1991.
5. If the legislature acts in January, it could authorize an additional 1991
levy to make up for aid reductions.
6. County auditors may want to delay beginning 1991 tax rate calculations
until the likelihood of legislative action becomes clearer, if they can
conveniently do so without jeopardizing the timeliness of the 1991
property tax statements.
o
AN EOUAL OPPORTur"ITY EMPLOYER
.2
7. I urge you to do all you call to conserve resources. The immediate future
is likely to involve either less state aid, or at best very slow growth in
state aid.
8. Given the stresses that have already been placed on our property tax
system and the potential for more in the near future, I urge you not to
raise property taxes any more than absolutely necessary.
9. Finally I urge you to remain open to the possibility of state/local fiscal
system reform, and to work with the Carlson administration and the
legislature to find a balanced solution to our fiscal problems that does not
increase our problems with the property tax.
What follows is part explanation and part commentary on the foregoing,
from my perspective:
December aid payments. We at Revenue are scheduled to disburse $433
million in aid to local units of government on December 15. This is the
second and final installment on calendar 1990/state fiscal 1991 aids, the first
installment having been paid on July 20. These payments are required by law,
and they will be made on time.
Fiscal 1991 shortfall. One of the first concerns of Governor-elect Carlson and
the 1991 legislature will be to deal with the projected fiscal 1991 shortfall of
$197 million. They are highly likely to consider actions to reduce state agency
spending in the current year. The only way for them to improve the state's
fiscal 1991 situation through aid reductions would be to require repayment of a
portion of the December 15 aid payment. Because the $550 million budget
reserve appears to be adequate to get the state through fiscal 1991, and because
the same practical impact on local governments could be had by simply
reducing the calendar 1991 aids (which will be paid in state fiscal year 1992), I
think it is unlikely that you will be required to repay a portion of your 1991
aids. However, if, for example, a determination were made that the state's
credit rating would be better served through a repayment, it certainly could
happen.
You are no doubt well aware that the 1991 legislature could decide to reduce
the aids payable to local governments in calendar 1991. This is just what
happened in 1990, when the legislature reduced the level of aid that had been
set in 1989--after you had already made plans and adopted your budgets. And
it is comparable to what will happen to state agencies if their fiscal year 1991
funding is reduced early in the 1991 legislative session.
If the legislature chooses to require repayment of a portion of the calendar
1990 local aids and/or to reduce the calendar 1991 local aids, it could, if it acted
early enough, allow local governments to levy property taxes in 1991 to make
up the difference. As a practical matter, such action would have to come in
3
~
January if local governments are to avoid a delay in their 1991 property tax
statements.
HACA not guaranteed. We at Revenue have experienced some delays in our
effort to determine exactly how much HACA aid is scheduled to be distributed
in 1991. We are very close to having that determination made, and will
shortly be certifying it to you. However, because the legislature might act in
1991 to reduce the amounts we are about to certify, all local governments
should realize that the amounts are less certain than would ordinarily be the
case, and auditors probably should not rush to begin the process of issuing
property tax statements for 1991.
Need for restraint. The clearest message out of this entire situation is the
need for immediate fiscal restraint at both the state and local levels. All of us
need to immediately commence conserving fiscal rE'sources. Such
conservation at the local level will not technically do anything to improve
the state's fiscal position, but it would better position local governments to
face an immediate future of either less' state aid or;' at best; very' slow growth
in state aid.
Pressures on the property tax system. I am very concerned that, in the
difficult circumstances we face, the legislature might put additional pressure
on the property tax without substantially reforming our property tax system.
We aU know that a large state spending reduction undertaken for the
laudable purpose of balancing the state budget can, if achieved through
reduced payments to local governments, quickly translate into large property
tax increases. We went down that path in the early 80s, when the property tax
was at considerably lower levels than it is today. .
I believe it would be a big mistake to do so again on an across-the-board basis,
because several classes of property already are being taxed at uncomfortably
high rates, and the property tax itself has grown uncomfortably large in the
total mix of state and local taxes. On the other hand, property taxes on the first
$68,000 of value of every owner-occupied home in the state and on the first
$110,000 of homestead farm land value are tremendous bargains because the
rates are so low. The owners of such property are in effect subsidized by aU
other taxpayers.
In the past three years, we have made substantial progress on property tax and
local aids reform. However, there remains quite a way to go. I suspect that
completing the job will require major reform of the state/local fiscal system.
In any case, jt is clear that we have alternatives for solving our current fiscal
problems that do not require substantial across-the-board increases in the
burdens placed on a property tax system that is ill-equipped to shoulder them.
:.~
4
Those possibilities include spending -and service-reductions at the state
and local levels, broadening the sales tax base, and property tax increases for
the classes of property that now pay so very little in relation to others.
If tax changes are necessary, these two could be made without hurting
Minnesota's competitive position. They could also be made in ways that
protect low income people.
Choosing among these and other options is the challenge for Governor-elect
Carlson and the legislature. I believe that almost anything would be better
than large across-the-board property tax increases, if we are serious about
having our revenue system be fair, efficient, reliable, competitive, and
understandable. These are the criteria we at Revenue use to evaluate our
revenue system.
Your participation with the Carlson administration and the legislature is
likely to be important if we are to solve our current fiscal problems without
worsening our property tax problems. It certainlYdwill be important if there is
an effort to improve our state/local fiscal system.

(Public Hearing: Ordihance No. 29 Diseased Shade Trees, Continued)
Mr. Sowada thought It would take about three to four People-to do the
whole City. Right now he Is the only Staff member to do tree
Inspections, and that amounts to about 10 percent of his time.
A lengthy discussion ensued on various aspects of the ordinance. The
Commission was concerned about the funding for the enforcement of the
ordinance. There Is the question of costs involved for operating the
Vibrating plow In terms of staff time, plus the ISsue of total cost to
the homeowner for total abatement, which can be astronomical. The
sentiment of some on the Commission at this time was that the City
should partiCipate in some of those costs. One suggestion was to set
a base figure up to which the homeowner would pay within a certain
time period, one year or 18 months, and the City either fUnd the
remaining costs or those remaining costs shared with the homeowner on
a 50-50 basis. Other sUggestions were to prOVide assistance by
remOVing the brush or haVing a Chipping program available to
residents. The Tree Inspector can also coordinate logging sales.
The.Commissioner _also hoped that when the agreement is final ized
between the county and Department of AgriCUlture for the Communities
to Use the vibrating plow, the City would be able to Use it as needed
in any part of the City, even outside of the control area. Mr.
Stephenson noted that agreement has not yet been worked out. Another
criteria for cost-sharing is to have developer/bUilder reqUirements to
control the amount of construction damage to trees, recommending that
those be taken care of in the platting or permitting process, not in
this ordinance. All developments should be within the control area.
and the developer should be required to do the Work for diseased tree
control. oak wilt speCifically.
A concern was raised about a.diseased tree area. Posing a threat to
healthy trees. Mr. Stephenson suggested that can be handled by adding
a phrase to Section 7, second paragraph. "...oak wilt within the
deSignated oak wilt control area of the City of Andover. or on
property where the threat of oak wilt mOVing Into the control area Is
. . -.-.--a -concern. ;.. ."-. --... ._..... 0._ __'=-~.,..,,_ _ . _'__ _.____. __ __ _,____ _. ___ ______---_.-,.,... _.____..,...
The Commission studied the map/from the DNR done in 1988 shOWing the
oak wi I t in the City. Mr. St~phenson stated the map Is about 80
percent accurate. It shows 9,400 trees with oak wilt, over 460 acres
of dead trees. He estimated that number has Increased by 3,000 to
5,000 trees since then. He also suggested the City contract a plane to
- ---~~~f 1 r-over-- the--Ci ty-annua J.l y for -aerl a l--photos-of-the-prob I em-.

<Public Hearing: Ordinance No. 29 Diseased Shade Trees, Continued)
One suggestion was that the ordinance reference control zones to be
established annually by the City Council and that any administrative
costs be referenced to a Resolution so It can more easily be adjusted
when necessary.
Discussion returned to the costs Involved to both the residents and to
the CIty in uphOlding the ordinance. No specific numbers were known at
this time, with the Commission asking that the .fol lowIng be researched
before any decIsIons are made on the proposed ordinance: the high-low
cost range for trenching, tree removal and stump removal for trees
both near bUildings and those in open woods; the administrative costs
for inspections, talking with residents, coordinating trenching,
logging or tree-removal efforts, etc.; costs for providing brush
removal and locations to which the brush can be hauled; and costs for
providing a chipping program in the City. The Commission also felt
that unit costs need to be applied to proposed control areas on the
map.
Alternative funding sources were discussed, with Mr. Stephenson
suggesting lobbying to the US Forest Service that Minnesota receive a
larger share of those forest suppression funds and lObby local
representatives that the State would also allocate funds for diseased
tree control. The Commission felt this points out that it is a
community problem and that the City should get involved in requesting
those funds and establiShing programs.

Joan Spence, Creative Environments, Albertville, MN, a Forester/Tree
Inspector - addressed the Commlss1on noting her letter to the City was
wrItten In December, 1989; and she reviewed her experiences In Ramsey
and Eden Prairie. Control zones were set up In Eden PraIrie. The
. homeowner was responsible for taking down the tree, but the City paid
for the removal of the tree, the poInt being there are many
alternatIves that can be consIdered. She said cost-SharIng Is when
the money becomes available, also streSSing that cIties need to
encourage theIr legislators to'work to fund this program.
Commissioner FerrIs asked that ratio of costs between homeowner and
city In Eden Prairie. i
/
Ms. Spence did not know, noting it is too variable, but she did agree
to get the amount of their budget for the Commission. Eden Prairie Is
using general fund monies for their program at this time. She
commended the Ci ty for taking care.of 1 tstrees. She helped Ramsey
~get.their second-year fundIng for their brush Chipping program,
thinking possibly Andover could work a joint powers agreement with
them. She felt there are many creative possibilities of solvIng the
problem, workIng with other cities, establIshing pilot projects,
lookIng for grant monies, etc., hoping she might be able to p.rovide a
ser~i~e to Andover when it is needed. She was also opposed to burning
the diseased trees, as it is a valuable resource that should be
utIlized.

The Department of Natural Resources has received a limited amount of money from the United States Forest Service to be used
for Oak Wilt Suppression in Minnesota. The primary requirements attached to this money is that it be used for effective oak
wilt control, and that the money be matched within the state. We anticipate that these funds will continue for up to five years.
The Minnesota Shade Tree Advisory Committee Oak Wilt Task Force (MSTAC-OWTF), a committee involving the MN
Department of Natural Resources, MN Department of Agriculture, University of Minnesota, and representatives from counties
and communities, has been meeting to determine the most effective way to use these funds. '-
The primary decision of the committee is that the cost matching monies will be community based. Communities currently
involved in oak wilt control activities or communities starting up oak wilt control programs may be eligible for the matching
dollars. The match will be, for the most part, 1:1. Depending upon the number of requests recieved, their may be an upper limit
to the amount available to each community.
The committee has developed criteria which will be required for communities to be eligible for the funds. The Departments of
Agriculture and Natural Resources will meet with communities to discuss these criteria in more detail at their request. What
follows is a summary of the minimum community oak wilt program components:
Development of a three year oak wilt control plan. Because oak wilt control is an ongoing effort, communities should
look ahead and plan out a program for three years. The program may be revised as budgets change and work is
completed. Each year of the program an updated three year plan should be developed. The plan should include:
A program budget - The budget should be actual for the current year, and estimated for the subsequent years.
Items that are matchable are: salaries or consulting fees for people when involved with oak wilt control
activities (inspection/detection of oak wilt, barrier layout, homeowner consultation, sporulating oak
identification, follow-up work); equipment purchased or rented that is used for oak wilt control work; removal
of spore producing oak trees; root graft barrier placement (vibratory plow work).
Control area designation - It is not expected that communities will be able to cover the entire community right
away. A control area should be designated by the community within which diseased oaks will be identified
and marked, and necessary control work started. Within 3 years, this control area should include the entire
community. This does not mean that all oak wilt pockets must be controlled in three years. We expect
control work to continue far longer than that in many communities, especially where the problem is severe.
Rather, this means that identification of diseased trees and removal of hazardous (sporulating) oaks will be
extended throughout the community, and control work will be prioritized and completed as time and budget
allows. Control and elimination of all oak wilt pockets in the community is the goal, and realistically, this
may take many years to accomplish.
The community must have a shade tree professional (with MDA tree inspector certification) either on staff
or contract to coordinate and run the program.
Oak wilt control ordinances must be adopted. These ordinances should comply with State Statute Chapter
18.023. Additionally, statutes should require necessary control work on all property within the control area
on a priority basis.
Additionally, developers and builders should be required to complete necessary oak wilt control work as a condition of plat _
approval or a building permit. They should also be required to work with the community to prevent injury to oaks during land
clearing and construction to prevent oak wilt from spreading into that area.
If you would like assistance in developing an oak wilt control plan, please contact David Stephenson, oak wilt program
coordinator, MN Department of Agriculture at 396-0592.
Questions concerning the cost share monies should be directed to Tom Eiber, Insect and Disease Specialist, Department of Natural
Resources at (218) 828-2616.

ITEM 11. Funding Sources/
NO. Diseased Trees
BY:
The City. Council requested at the September 18th meeting that
Staff research the funding sources available for the removal and
control of the diseased tree epidemic the City is presently
experiencing. The primary purpose of securing such funding is to
alleviate some of the costs incurred by property owners for tree
removal and disease control. Staff. contacted Janette Monear,
Program Coordinator of the Oak 'Wilt/Diseased Tree Hotline. We
discussed the possibility of Anoka County purchasing a vibrating
plow for $75,000. She has proposed to the County Board that the
plow be maintained and housed by the County and lent to the cities
in the County on a free of charge basis. If the proposal fails
and the plow is not purchased, the $75,000 will be used for a
community cost-share program. In order for Andover to take part
in the cost-share program, criteria established by the Minnesota
Shade Tree Advisory Committee (MSTAC) Oak Wilt Task Force have to
be met.
The possible funding sources available to the City for the
diseased tree problem include:
1. Met Council - Abatement (landfill removal)
2. U.S. Forest Service
3. America the Beautiful
I
These sources of funding are primarily for future considerations
and it is recommended by Ms. Monear that we prepare for this
funding by establishing an ordinance and criteria that encompasses
such funding. I have presented draft copies of Ordinance *29 to
Ms. Monear and also David Stephenson, Plant Health Specialist,
- Department of Agriculture, for their review. I indicated to them
that the City would welcome any suggestions they would have to
improve Ordinance #29.

BACKGROUND
At the June 5, 1990 meeting the City Council referred Ordinance
No. 44 to the Planning and Zoning Commission for clarification
regarding the fence requirements. In particular, the height
requirement, thinking there is a discrepancy by requiring eight
(8') foot fences but allowing ten (10') foot piles of junk
vehicles.
In the process of examining the ordinace, the Planning and Zoning
Commission discovered other areas of the ordinance that needed to
be revised and updated. These changes are reflected in the

PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED: ORDINANCE NO. 44 FENCING REQUIREMENTS FOR
JUNKYARDS
M~. Ca~lbe~g ~evlewed the backg~ound Info~mation on this Item
~ega~dlng the City Council's dl~ectlve, the fencing of the ya~ds and
Its impact of FHA financing on su~~oundlng ~esldences, and the
p~oposed changes to O~dinance 44. The Commission reviewed several
areas of concern in the ordinance and ~ecommended several changes and
clarifications, including the addition of a date by which ~II
automotive recycling and/or Junkyards must come into complaince with
these new ~egulations. June 1, 1991, was suggested.
The hearing was then opened for public testimony.
Ha~old Sullivan. 15300 P~airie Road - noted the junkyards have been
there for a long time, aSking If the Intent is to try to screen them
from view from the ~oad or from other residences. Because of the
terraine, he felt some of them could not be fenced off so they are not
visible. It would also take many, many more acres if they are not
allowed to stack the cars. He Is not in the junkyard business, but he
felt they are trying to make a living and_it is not all that bad
having to look at junk cars.
The Commission explained the original intent was to correct some
conflicting ~equirements in the ordinances. They then looked into what
type of fencing would be acceptable to FHA so they would once again
finance housing In the area; however, the City was unable to get
anywhe~e with them. So they are now updating and correcting the
discrepancies in the ordinance. The owners of the yards have told the
Commission that they could meet the fencing and stacking requi~ements
beIng recommended. Also, this area has been designated by the City as
a blighted area, and the City would like to see minimal visibility of
the blight from outside of tne junkyards. .
Ann Sikora - stated the junkyards were there long before the
developers came In, and everyone lived with them. Once the developers
came in, the trouble started. She felt it Is unfair that after being
he~e-fo~40'yea~s, the jUnkyardsa~e having all these p~oblems, that
they a~e Just t~ylng to make a living too.
Mike Lund. ATV Salvaoe - thought a deadline to meet these new
requirements would be better set at July 1. Because of the weather,
there would be very little time available to work on the fencing if
June 1 was the deadline. He was also concerned about the possibility
of-the-Ci tycoming back in--the. future-and wanting a dl fferenLhelght_
or type of fencing. He wondered why FHA couldn't give an answe~ now.
The Commission agreed with the July 1 deadline. They also explained
the frustration of dealing with the FHA and the noncommittal answers
received from them. Apparently screening is not the Issue with FHA.

<Public Hearing Continued: Ordinance No. 44, Junkyards)
Mr. Lund - stated all this started since the housing has been put
up; and it is now infringing on his business, expressing his
frustration and confusion over the entire situation.
JoAnn Wilber. Jay Street - asked about the fencing between yards.
Mr. Carlson stated outside fencing Is a minimum of six feet high. and
between the yards will be the concern of the property owners to do
what they want to do.
Ms. Wilber - asked if the licenses will be changed to Automotive
Recycling Yards. Mr. Carlberg stated he wil I talk to the City Clerk
about that tomorrow.
Ms. Wilber - asked about the outside storage. One yard out there
has very nice racks which go higher than six feet high, and they look
very neat. Will that be allowed? She felt that should be looked at
as to how high the racks can go. There is a difference between
crushed cars and racks. There are some things that need to be stored
outside. The Commission noted the proposal is the storage would not
exceed the height of the fence; however, the variance section. 5.03,
could possibly be used to allow racks to go higher. Also, the
ordinance has the flexibility to build a portion of the fence at a
greater height against which the racks could be placed, then dropping
down to six feet.
MOTION by'Vistad, Seconded by Ferris, to close the Public Hearing.
Motion car~led unanimously.
The Commission suggested further changes and clarifications in the
ordinance. In Section 4.9, Ms. Wilber explained they must fill out a
Dealer Junkyard Report each month, send a copy to the State and retain
one. The title cards are also forwarded to the'State.
Leon Kozlowski. 1021 Crosstown Boulevard - referenced Section 4.7,
asking about the disposal of the antifreeze, Freon, and other
substances that are found In cars. He felt all the other substances
should be addressed as well, not Just gasoline and oil.
Ms. Wi Iber - explained the procedure of handling those substances
from the cars according to State and Federal guidelines. Minnesota
has an ordinance which will be enacted In 1991 regarding the removal
and disposal of Freon. Her point was they do handle those items
__~ _proper 1 y '_nn _'__~nn_'n__n_ ____
Rick Heidelberqer. Mom/s Auto Salvaqe - explained the process he
uses for storing antifreeze and oil and using the gas after It has
been filtered. He is also looking into Freon recycling pumps, though
he didn/t expect that to be operational until June or July.

(Public Hearing Continued: Ordinance No. 44, Junkyards)
Mr. Kozlowski - asked whether the City gets a report on what-happens
to hazardous waste streams within Andover, as al I businesses in the
State are requIred to report that to the cIties. Ms. Wilber stated
they are sent to the State and they keep a copy. They do not send It
to the City or to the Fire Department. CommIssioner Ferris also noted
that the CIty controls hazardous waste through the Issuance of SpecIal
Use Permits which are then monItored.
The fol lowing changes to the proposed ordinance were agreed to by the
CommissIon:
Section 4, 4.5 - "Automotive recyclables and/or junk shall not exceed
the height of the fence, except for snow accumulation, and shail be
arranged to permit easy access to al I automotive recyclables and/or
junk for fire f i gh t i ng purposes."
Section 4, 4.7 - "All fluids and gasses shall be removed and disposed
of in an approved manner from any scrapped engines or scrapped
vehicles on the premises."
Section 4, 4.9 - Add a clause having to do with the Dealer's Junk
Report that the dealers are required to fill out and file with the
State each month. The dealers retain a copy of that report on file.
Section 5, 5.1 - "Exterior Storage. Where automotive recyclables
and/or junk is kept outdoors, the area shai I be enclosed by a solid
vertical wal I or fence of uniform material and color which is at least
six (6/) feet high and a maximum height of twelve (12') feet, said
height to be consistent over any residential or business properties,
public roads or pUblic lands as measured from the.street level. Where
automotive recyclables and/or junk Is piled, stacked or externally
stored, the height of the pile, stack or storage cannot exceed the
height of the fence."
Section 5, 5.2 - It was felt this provision is virtually the same
-thlri-g--as Section 5.1. It was proposed that this section be-deleted~
and Incorporated In Section 5.1.
Section 5, 5.3 b - "Revocation of Variance: If screening changes in
such a manner that stored materials come Into view of adjacent
residential or business propertfes, public roads or public lands, the
varIance wll I be revoked Immediately and the applicant has thirty (30)
days from date of notice to-provIde screening IncomplIance wIththi-s
Ordi nance . "

Section 10 - Add Section 10.2: "The required fencing is to be
installed as of July 1, 1991."

<Public Hearing Continued: Ordinance No. 44, Junkyards)
MOTION by Vistad, Seconded by Jovanovich, that we send to the-City
Counci I with approval of the Andover Planning and Zoning Commission
the Ordinance 44 ordinance regulating and licensing automotive
recycling yards and/or junkyards and dealers and repealing Ordinance
No.9 with the appropriate changes that we mave made at tonight's
meeting. Publ Ie hearing was held and there were comments made; six
people spoke, al I six were in objection to the ordinance. DISCUSSION:
Commissioner Ferris had a problem with all the changes. The Council
aksed them to look at the height of the fence so the ordinances agree,
not to control the stacking or to rewrite It. He had a hard time with
the fact that the City wil I not sit down and work with the yards to
come up with some methodology to which everyone can agree. He said he
didn't like continually making ordinances that increase costs of
running a business hoping to eventually run them out of business. The
only other constructive change was on Section 4.7. Putting up the
fence wi I I not hide the junk one bit. He did not see this as a
venture to get the City and the owners to work any closer together; in
fact he felt it is just the opposite.
Mr. Lund - appreciated Commissioner Ferris's honesty. He asked what
they can do about it. The ordinance does keep changing and eventually
it will be changed to something they cannot afford to do. More than
anything he'd like to sit down and find out what they al I have to do.
Chairperson Pease suggested talking to the Councilmembers Individually
and at their meeting to see if something could be worked out. There
will be changes with progress, but everyone has to learn to live
together. There has been Input from those in the recycling community,
seeing this as an opportunity to solve some of the problems.

<Commlsslone~ Jonak a~~lved at this time. 8:42 p.m.)
M~. Ca~lbe~g stated the indication was any FHA financing Would be only
fo~ those a~eas that a~e two to th.ee city lots f.om the junkya.ds,
that the.e would need to be a buffe~ between the junkya~ds and FHA
financed housing. The Commission discussion then ~ecognlzed the.e is
not much else the City can do with the fencing .equi.ements as it
pe.tains to FHA finanCing of p.ope.ties adjacent to the junkya.d
a~eas. The~e was some f.ust~ation ove~ lack of p.og~ess in Cleaning
up that TIF a.ea, the lack of an agg.essive p.og~am to clean up o.
eliminate the junkya.ds, and that the location fo. Comme.cial
Bouleva.d has not been dete.mined so development plans can p.oceed.
They felt the Counci I should be making a po.licy statement .ega.ding
that a.ea as to what the City wants to accomplish within the TIF zone.
The Commission noted the initial directive from the Council was to
look at conflicting ~equi~ements between o~dlnances of the fencing
height versus the stacking height of ca~s and pa~ts beh 1 nd. the fences . ...
The .ed-Ilning by HUD was a side Issue. - Afte~ some discussion, it was
gene.ally felt that the fence height should be six feet. No specific
decision was made ~ega~dlng the height of stacking of ca~s and of
salvage auto pa~ts, though there was speculation that the last d.aft
had stacking the same height as the fence.
H.. Ca.lbe.gstated he would collate the Council Minutes and P & Z
mate~ials on this matte~ fo. the public_hea~lng. __.He .wlll .eadve.tlse

The Planning & Zoning Commission at the October 23, 1990 meeting
requested staff to contact the Department of Housing and Urban
Development concerning Federal Housing Authority (FHA) financing
for those properties adjacent to the junkyards/automotive
recycling yards. In particular the Susan Hurst property to the
south of Andover Auto (13440 Jay st.).
I talked with Angie Ditty, Appraiser for HUD, on October 24, 1990
and sent her a letter on October 25, 1990 addressing the City's
concerns regarding FHA financing in relation to Ordinance No.
44. I requested answers to the following questions from Ms. Ditty
and asked that I receive a written response.
1. Why are properties adjacent to the Junkyards not
receiving FHA financing?
2. Is the fencing the problem or is it the adjacent
junkyards themselves that are the problem?
3. Does the lack of a buffer zone effect the ability of
residents to secure FHA financing?
4. Do the health hazards and environmental problems
associated with jurikyards limit the ability of adjacent
residents to receive FHA financing?
In response to the above questions, I received from Ms. Ditty a
copy of a letter that was sent to Mayor Jim Elling from Thomas
Feeny, Manager of HUD on April 2, 1990 and is attached for your
review. It is apparent that there are many factors HUD considers
when reviewing sites for residential development and determining
FHA financing. However, the lack of a buffer zone between the
the junkyards and the residential properties appears to be the
limiting factor. Fencing and landscaping may be required to
reduce the adverse visual effects, but are not the single most
important determining factor in denying FHA financing.

Dear Angie:
I am writing to you concerning Ordinance 144, Fencing Requirements
for Junkyards. Planning Commission member, Wayne Vistad and
myself visited the Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) on Wednesday, October 17, 1990 to discuss Federal Housing
Authority (FHA) financing for the residential areas adjacent to
the junkyards/automotive recycling yards. The primary purpose for
this visit was to address the fencing requirements needed by HUD
that will enable residents to the south to secure FHA financing.
We met with Jerry Thompson who was familiar with the problem. The
photos taken by Susan Hurst (13440 Jay st.) were presented at the
meeting. We asked Mr. Thompson if the reason for the residential
area not receiving FHA financing is due to the condition of the
fencing that .encloses the junkyards or is it the junkyards
themselves that are the problem. We were informed that the
fencing appears to be the primary problem, but the lack of a
buffer zone between the residential properties and the junkyards
could also be a factor. There were two other factors stated by
Mr. Thompson that could effect FHA financing - the health hazard
and environmental problems imposed by the nearby junkyards.
Mr. Thompson indi~ated that HUD will again be inspecting the area
and that we will have answers to our questions by the end of this
week. Dan Waloga, Environmental Officer for HUD, was also to be
involved in the inspection process. ____
Based on our second phone conversation on October 24, 1990, I
realize that an inspection was completed in December of 1989 on
the Hurst property. The City of Andover would be most grateful if
you could submit to the City in writing your findings addressing
the above mentioned questions and concerns presented at the
meeting on October 17th. We would appreciate receiving this
information prior to November 13, 1990. -, , .
If you should have questions, please feel free to contact me at
Phi 755-5100. The City thanks you for your time and effort.

Dear Hayor Elling:
Your February 12, 1990 lettor to HUD requests further inforr.lation ,.llout
HUD policy rcgllrcl~ ng residential development adjacent to auto salvage y.lT.cls.
7h1s l" in response to site and neighborhoou standards concerns expro53c,: :,'.'
HUD staff in reviewing subdivisions in the southern Andover area, Hhere
aeveral salvage yards, hazardous. tJaBte sites, a tire dur~p, and landfill
currently exist or are proposed.
Hhen determining the acceptability of a site for residential
development, HUD must consider not only the conditions existing on-site ;;hich
may affect development, but also tho adjacent area. In many instances a site
itnelf r,lay have few physical or structural limitationo to development, but .it
l,lay L(! located in an area that ls unsuitable for housing. Often communi.tJ.8S
ut5.1ize planning and zoning functions as a means to separate incompatiblc lond
. UGes from residential areas. However, conceivably a situation cculd ar ~.I1"
where .Leolated pockets of non-confoming land use may be located near a
proposed residential development. Or, as is occurring in Andover. a gr~llng
community experiences a surge in rosidential development which approaches
areas fon~erly zoned for industrial or commercial uses. In these instullces
HUD r.1Ust assess the affect that the adjacent land-uses have on the proPQ:;~(!
residential development.
Of pnramount concern to HUD is that residents of nUD/FIlA-insured hOllsin]
not be exposed to environments l~hich Inay present a danger to their health [U~(~
safety. In addition to these baaic considerations. liUD also must evaluate
residual nuisance factors which may adversely impact not only the desiri:1bilLty
and liveability of an area. but may reduce property value--sometimes to t!.,c
extent that the home is rendered unmarketable. In the specific instance of
reGidential development proposed adjacent to exiating salvage yards, Hun \/tluhl
investigate the potentlal for toxic chel!lical exposure (froI:l contaminate,; 50i.15
or stormwater/groundwater drainage off-site), air pollution (fro~l fires or
fugitive dust), case of aCCOSD to rnnterials (to protect neighborhood children
an,1 other trcspilssers from an "attractive nuisance"), Visual/aesthetic inpacta
(which depreciate land values and diminish a proper aense of neighborhoou),
potential traffic concerns (transportation and access conflicts with
neighborhood cirCUlation), and other issues which may pose a potential threat
or irritation to residents.

llany of these assessment factor's may be difficult to qua~tify. others
Inay be mitigated to some -extent by"acceptable separatiOn distancos fro"l the
salvage yard (there are no hard-and-fast rules) or on-site containment of
materialo in buildings. Landscaping and fencing to reduce adverse vioual
impacts may also be a requirement.
It may conceivably be possible to design a salvage yard that is 501f-
contained in a building with security sufficient to prevent trespass Hhich
also r,lin.l.f.Iizes the potential for off-site environmental contamination. ! l: is
irlportant to note h0\1ever, that IIUD would not necessarily consider a
resiuential development located adjacent to such a salva(]e yard to be
crn~pletcly unaffected by this type of land-use. There may still be a
potential for adverse environmental impacts (e.g., fire). In addition, the
value of residences located adjacent to non-conforming land uses considered to
be relatively benign from an environr.tental perspective (such as cOl;uncrc;.al
office parks) are affected to the extent that the adjacent use is non-
residential and thus influences the value of the neighborhood.
In conclusion, there are lnany variables ",hich IlUD nust evaluate \;!lell
rev imllng the acceptabili ti' of residential development proposed f01: arc,,,";
cOlltaining non-conforming land-use. HUD recognizes that the City of l\nc~over
is investiyating methods to mitigate the adverse effects of existing lan~-ucC3
which are incompatible with residential development. I'1a wish you much Cllcce:.;c

Mr. Carlberg recommended the Item be tabled pendIng further
Information from the FHA. The FHA will be doing further Inspections
this week. Mr. Carlberg stated he wil I call FHA tomorrow and ask for
a written position statement on financing residentIal housIng In the
areas around the junkyard businesses. He expected to have that
information by the next P & Z meeting.
In discussIng the fencing and berming recommendatIons of HUD, Mr.
Carlberg noted TIF funds are not available for ~t because all those
funds are beIng used to pay back the bonds. CommIssioner Vistad
reviewed a proposed questionnaire to be given to four appraisers to

Commissioner Vistad said the lenders are already aware of the problem,
feeling this would give additional Information as to the effect of the
businesses and the type of screening lending institutions might
prefer. Chairperson Pease wondered if that is within their scope.
The objective was to determine the FHA standards.
After further discussion, the Commission agreed to table the item on
the questionnaire for local appraisers until the Information is
received from the FHA. They also asked Mr. Carlberg to send FHA a
written request regarding their fencing and berming standards and the
reasons residents around the junkyards are not receiving FHA
financing.
Mr. Carlberg suggested the placement of Commercial Boulevard be also
discussed with the proposed amendment to Ordinance 44, as that
location wil I have a direct impact on the fencing of some of the
junkyards. Chairperson Pease asked for a motion to table this until
the information is received from the FHA. Then, if other information
is desired, the Commission can proceed with the questionnaire.
MOTION by Ferris, Seconded by Coleman, to so move. Motion carried
unanimously.
PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED: ORDINANCE NO. 29 DISEASED SHADE TREES
David Stephenson, Plant Health Specialist of the Department of
Agriculture, pointed out the criteria for participation in cost-share
programs in the Agenda packet. In updating the City's Diseased Shade
Tree Ordinance, he did so with three things in mind: 1) the biology
of the tree diseases and prob.1ems; 2) how this or-dlnance relates to
State Statute; and 3) how this ordinance relates to the cost-share
program criteria. The proposed ordinance will meet all those criteria.
Mr. Stephenson noted the State of Minnesota is actively pursuing
cost-share - mon 1 es' from the United-States ForestServ 1 ce-as-we 11 C.-as-the---'" .",-c._
State of Minnesota to use for oak wilt suppression. This year they
received $50,000 of the $150,Odo they requested. All $50,000 Is
initially earmarked for Anoka/County. The DNR has contributed another
$25,000. The Anoka County Board has also agreed to add additional
funds and has put together requests for proposals to purchase a
vibrating plow. Hopefully the plow will be available by next summer

Bosell summarized briefly that the City Council has referred
this matter to the Planning and Zoning Commission because
it appeared that there might be a conflict between Ordinance
No.8 and Ordinance No. 44 as it pertains to fencing~~
The Commission reviewed the draft of the proposed amendment
to Ordinance No. 44. The proposed changes were reviewed with
the interested parties in attendance.
Pease stated that one of the City's main concerns was the
threat of losing FHA financing in areas adjacent to the junkyards.
The following people expressed their comments on this topic.
If) /:-1-/_ ;" ..-:.~: -'~
HARRY~ODSICK, Best Auto Parts, 1950 Bunker Lake Boulevard
stated that the owners did this back in 1985 and 1986, and
that the plantings they did at that time are now ten feet
tall. He stated that unless the ditches were brought up to
street level, it would take 12 to 18 foot fences to screen
the yards on Bunker Lake Boulevard frontage.
He also stated that they are trying to be "good neighbors"
and recycle oil, old tires and old batteries for people of
the community. He reminded the Commission that he understands
the City's concerns, but that they have a right to be a part
of the community.
He stated that his fence is eight foot and that he does no
stacking.

His final concern is that they may be forced to change their
fencing before they know where the Bunker Lake Boulevard _~xpansion
is going to run.
ROBERT PIERCE, Andover Auto Parts, 13526 Jay Street, stated
that the EPA had bulldozed down his wood and tin fence and
installed a six foot cyclone fence around the Andover Tire
property. He stated any of the homes behind the fencing now
have a clear view of the area. He stated that no one from
the State has offered to pay the costs of re-installing
appropriate fencing. Bosell stated she had the names and
numbers of some people at the State he may wish to contact.
JOANNE WILBER, Wilber Auto Parts, 13608 Jay Street, stated
that many of the owners switched to six foot fencing after
the storm that flattened many of the taller fences. She,
as well as several of the other owners, asked about the possibility
of using Tax Increment Financing to do some berming.
MICHAEL DENUCCI, Anoka Auto Parts, 1775 Bunker Lake Boulevard,
stated that they have a four foot berm and a six foot fence
above that.
The following changes were recommended to the July 24th draft
of Ordinance No. 44:
Improve the terminology "junkyard";
/Under Section 1, add a definition for Recyclables;
~Under Section 1, add a definition for Screening
Fence;
/Under Section 1.6,change minimum height back to
six feet;
Under Section 5.1, change wording to read "to be
consistent over any area adjacent to residential
as measured from street level."
Under Section 5.1, clarify between piled, stacked
or stored.
Under Section 5.2, change minimum height back to
six feet.
Staff will research the possibility of Tax Increment Financing.

ORDINANCE 44 DISCUSSION
Chairperson Pease asked for dire~tion from the Council regarding the
Junkyard Ordinance, specifically on screening and indoor storage.
Council noted the discrepancy between the fencing requirement of eight
feet but al lowing junk vehicles to be stacked up to ten feet high.
Mayor Elling also noted the FHA has stated that if the businesses were
conducted inside, they would have no problem financing housing in that
area.
Sue Hurst. 13450 Jav Street - explained the FHA stated they would
not finance homes on th~ir property because of the lack of an
exIstIng barrier, leading them to believe the existing fence to the
north of their property is more of a blight than the junk itself.
They would lIke to see the City enforce the existlng ordinance so the
fence along Andover Auto Parts would comply with the standard of a
fence of solId unIform material and color. She showed pictures of the
exIstIng fence. They would lIke this done now in the event they ever
need FHA financIng on theIr house.
Council requested Staff to inspect Andover Auto Parts for compliance
wIth the ordinance. They also felt the P & Z should address the
fencing provIsIon whIch now only applies to property abuttIng publIc
streets. The Intent would be that the screenIng should gIve at least
as much protection to abutting residents as it does to the street.
MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Perry, that we direct Staff to look
into this situation and see that enforcement is complied with.
whatever that may be for each given situation; have them report back
to the Council. Motion carried on a 3-Yes, 2-Absent (Jacobson, Orttel)
vote.
MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Perry, that we refe~ this back to the

REQUEST
The Planning & Zoning Commission at its regular meeting on
November 27, 1990, reviewed the request for a lot split by John
Mengelkoch located at 26 Constance Boulevard. The 7.41 acre
parcel will be split into two separate lots of 3.84 acres and 3.57
acres. The purpose of the lot split is to allow the applicant to
construct a single family residence.
BACKGROUND
Ordinance No. 40 regulates the division of lots.
Ordinance No.8, Section 6.02 establishes the provisions for
minimum lot width, lot depth and lot area in an R-1 zoned
district.
Ordinance No. 10, Section 9.07.10 establishes the minimum area of
land dedicated to park and open space, and the amount to be paid
in lieu of the park dedication requirement. The applicant is
required to pay a park dedication fee of Four Hundred ($400.00)
Dollars.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning & Zoning Commission recommends approval of the lot
split of the property legally described as: that part of the east
660 feet of the Southeast Quarter of the Northeast Quarter of
Section 13, Township 32, Range 24, Anoka County, Minnesota, lying
southerly of the southerly right-of-way line of County Road No. 60

BY: Todd J. Haas
The City Council is requested to review the proposed sketch plan
of Cedar Hills River Estates 3rd Addition as proposed by Woodland
Development..
The Andover Review Committee (ARC) has reviewed the sketch plan
and their comments are as follows:
General Comments
* The proposed sketch plan is located in an R-2 Zoning
District, Single Family Estate. The minimum lot size
requirement is 2.5 acres. Fourteen (14) lots are being
proposed.
* Lots 3 and 4 of Block 1, and Lots 5 and 6 of Block 2 are
required to access the city streets.
* The proposed development would be in conjunction with Phase
II of Timber Trails on the south side of l78th Lane N.W.
* 179th Avenue N.W. is currently incorrect and should be
indicated as 178th Lane N.W. Also a portion of Xenia street
N.W. from the west line of Lot 4 Block 2 to County Road No.
58 will be 180th Avenue N.W.
* The developer will be required to meet city Ordinances 8 and
10 and all other applicable ordinances.
Planning and Zoning Commission Comments
There were no negative comments made by the Planning
Commission. The only concern made was that the developer was
to eliminate all variances that may arise when the preliminary
plat is being designed.

Dear Todd:
We have reviewed the proposed plat for Cedar Hills River Estates Third Addition
located in the City of Andover, and offer the following comments:
Right-of-way depicted on the plat is acceptable as shown. (60 feet from
- centerline of CR58)o-- Right-of-accessalong County Road 58 . (Tulip St.NW)
should be dedicated to Anoka County. Lots #3 and #4 of Block 1, and Lots
#5 and #6 of Block 2 should access the city streets. Calculations must be
provided which show that any drainage to the County Highway Ditch along
CR #58 does not exceed the pre-existing conditions. If drainage will
exceed the current conditions, an alternate drainage plan should be sought.
Contact me when construction of the proposed city streets take place, so
that stop sign installations along CR 58 can be coordinated.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

GOODWILL/EASTER SEAL
Goodwill/Easter Seal has been picking up recyc1ables every
Wednesday. On the whole, it is going pretty well. They are
putting together a new contract for us. They need to add more
gaylord boxes for cardboard and plastic bottles. It will be
brought to City Council when it is prepared. The Goodwill
Donation Truck will be at Andover Downtown Center the last weekend
of December.
OIL TANK
The oil tank was delivered just before Thanksgiving. Loe Oil Co.
from Mankato can pick the oil up on an on call basis until they
know how often we will be needing it. They have the Hennepin
County bid and are currently picking up from Anoka Co. Highway
Dept., The City of Anoka, and Lino Lakes. They are paying 18
cents a gallon which is 16 cents more than others called. Some
don't pay at all.
CURBSIDE
Ace Solid Waste And Peterson Bros. are now delivering recycling
bins to customers that are putting out recyclables without a bin.
A letter asking for payment from the customers is being including.
We must be more aggressive in getting out the recycling bins. Our
1991 goal is 850 tons, up from 313 tons in 1990.

RE: Recycling Update
BUDGET
On December 5th, the cities of Anoka County, including Andover,
received the 1991 proposed budget from Anoka County. It is
$37,129. This is $7,401 less than 1990, however it shall be noted
that 3,000 recycling bins won't be bought as were in 1990. More
will be spent on contractual services, maintenence, and education.
A proposed budget is being prepared.
Money is still available from the 1990 budget. It must be
used before 1991. I recommend, after having talked with Frank and
Dave on its possible uses, that we buy more recycing bins from
Rehrig Pacific, the company that supplied our current bins. It
has been proven that those who have bins are recycling much more,
and our tonnage will go up. We will be far exceeding 1990's goal,
but next year we have to do even better.

The City Council is requested to rescind resolution 109-90 for
project 89-17 Hidden Creek East 2nd Addition.
Resolution 109-90 accepts the work and directs the final payment
to the contractor which in this case is Arcon Construction.
The City did not release the final payment because a small
portion of Swallow Street near the intersection of 135th Avenue
has settled. Repair of the area is going to complete in the
spring of 1991.
By rescinding the resolution this will allow the City to retain a
portion of construction cost until the repair work has been
completed.

I have received two quotes for automatic meter reading equipment
from Davies Water Co. and Water Products Company. Both companies
have served us well in the past 10 years. We buy Neptune meters
from Davies and Rockwell meters from Water Products. The quotes
from both companies are attached to this request for you to
review.
In the Water Administration Budget of 1990 we budgeted $10,000.00
for the purchase of this equipment. We have checked out and
tested the different equipment from both companies. Howard
Koolick told me he has heard more of the Rockwell system than the
Neptune unit in the utilities billing field. These quotes are
very close but I would have no problem going with the low bid from
Water Products Company for the #2001 Solid State Interrogator
package for a total of $8,760.00.
I will be at the Council Meeting to answer your questions or, to

Dear Byron:
In reviewing Ordinance 10, Section 11.0la, the final plat should

plat. It is staff's recommendation that your office request an
extension of the preliminary plat to the City.
Phase II shall be subject to the right of the City to adopt new
or revised platting and subdivision regulations. It would also
require that Woodland Development follow the standard
specifications for rural residential street construction revised
in May of 1990 and any revisions thereafter.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at 755-5100.

Dear Mayor Elling and Council Members,
We are in the process of completing the Timber Trails subdivision. When we
presented our concept plan of Timber Trails to the City, we presented a
second addition. The second addition has been prepared to the preliminary
plat stage and was approved by the City at one time. We are now ready for
the final plat of Timber Trails second addition. According to the ordinance,
it should have been completed within a six month time period or a request
for an extension of time should have been presented to the City. It is with
this letter that we are requesting an extension of the preliminary plat for
Timber Trails second addition.
Upon approval of the request of the extension, we will then present and
request the approval of the final plat of Timber Trails second addition.
As always, it has been a great pleasure working with the City and I app~eciate
the attention you will give this matter.
Sincerely,
Byron D. Westlund
