Conditional Use Permit (12 -01) for temporary storage of highway construction materials at 16563 Hanson Boulevard NW. Mr. Bednarz reviewed the proposed conditional use permit with the Commission. Commissioner Holthus questioned if there were any residual effects from storing the tire chips on this site. Mr. Bednarz did not foresee any impact on this site. He noted the Fire Department would be inspecting the site initially and City staff would review the site after the chips are removed. The applicant would be responsible for cleaning the property if any impacts are found. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —January 10, 2012 Page 2 Commissioner Olsen asked if North Pine Aggregate was the contractor for this project and asked if the City was aware of the insurance agreements between these entities. Mr. Bednarz explained that North Pine Aggregate was a subcontractor. He indicated the insurance information would be handled between the contractor and not the City. Chairperson Daninger indicated the site had to be brought back to its like condition, after completion of the construction work. He questioned if any trees would be removed at this site to allow access to the tire chips. Mr. Bednarz explained that no trees would be removed. Commissioner Gudmundson asked who owned the neighboring parcel. Mr. Bednarz noted the neighboring parcel was owned by the same individual and does have a home on it. The property owner had signed off on the application for the conditional use permit. Motion by Olsen, seconded by Cleveland, to open the public hearing at 7:11 p.m. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent vote (Kirchoff). Commissioner Holthus stated that during a recent site visit she observed a separate pile of tires on another part of the property. She asked if these would be used in the project. Brent Jenson, Northland Aggregate, stated he was not aware of those tires and they were not part of the project. Commissioner Holthus asked where the tire chips came from. Mr. Jenson indicated the tires came from Anoka County and were being staged for the Hanson Boulevard project planned for next year. Commissioner Olsen inquired how many additional tire chips would be placed on the site. Mr. Jenson stated an additional 2,000 -3,000 cubic feet would be added to this site. Chairperson Daninger questioned if the tire chips would create dust or have an odor. Mr. Jenson stated these issues would not be a concern. Chairperson Daninger asked how the tire chips would be accessed. Mr. Jenson stated the pile would be accessed from the Kuiken's existing driveway. Chairperson Daninger inquired if signage would be posted when construction trucks were hauling the tire chips. Mr. Bednarz indicated the road would be closed when the trucks were hauling the material from this site. Chairperson Daninger questioned if the applicant had reviewed the letter from the Fire Chief. Mr. Jenson stated he had read the letter in full and had spoken with Anoka County about the limit to the amount of material that could be stored on this site. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —January 10, 2012 Page 3 Commissioner Gudmundson asked how high the piles of tire chips would be. Mr. Jenson estimated the piles would be 10 feet in height. He explained the piles were back far enough from the roadway that lines of sight would be clear. Motion by Walton, seconded by Gudmundson, to close the public hearing at 7 :18 p.m. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent vote ( Kirchoff). Chairperson Daninger appreciated the presence of the Fire Chief this evening. Commissioner Gudmundson asked if the surrounding property owners were notified of this conditional use permit. Mr. Bednarz indicated all property owners 700 feet around this site were notified of this request and a sign was posted at the site. Commissioner Holthus questioned what work was being planned for Hanson Boulevard. Mr. Bednarz explained the road undulates and has sunk in several locations. The proposed method would stabilize the road bed. Motion by Cleveland, seconded by Holthus, to recommend to the City Council approval of Resolution No. ,,,._ " , to grant the Conditional Use Permit request of North Pine Aggregate, Inc. to stockpile tire chips on the property located at 16563 Hanson Boulevard NW. Commissioner Olsen expressed concern with the lack of communication between Anoka County and the City. He suggested the County have some sort of rider with the City to assure that this material was insured from any hazard while being stored on this site. Mr. Bednarz indicated Staff would speak with the City Attorney to discuss this matter further before final approval by the Council. Chairperson Daninger was discouraged that the Commission was being asked to approve a conditional use permit for something that was already taking place. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent vote ( Kirchoff). Mr. Bednarz stated that this item would be before the Council at the January 17, 2012 City Council meeting. Commissioner Kirchoff arrived at the meeting at 7:25 p.m. OTHER BUSINESS. Mr. Bednarz updated the Planning Commission on related items. Mr. Bednarz mentioned that several commission members were being interviewed for open positions.

Documentation has been submitted to Met Council. The City was waiting to hear back from the Met Council before recording with Anoka County. Mr. Bednarz commented the Woodland Crossing 3 Addition was approved by the Council and two building permits had already been issued. Commissioner Walton asked for an update on residential lot supply. Mr. Bednarz stated there were 86 urban lots and approximately 32 2.5 acre lots currently available. He noted the City issued nearly 60 building permits in 2011. ADJOURNMENT.

Commercial animal training is permitted as a conditional use in General Business zoned districts. The 4.8 acre parcel is located off of 1615` Ave. NW and shares a drive access and parking lot with Andover Liquor. The proposed building to host the commercial animal training is 1,500 square feet and will require no physical changes to the interior or exterior. All training will take place indoors and there will be no outdoor space used. DISCUSSION The applicant has been offering in -home canine training for the past five years. She is now looking for a location to expand to provide group and flexible training sessions. The facility would be used to host up to ten dogs and their owners specializing in a variety of obedience- based classes. Days and Hours of Operation The applicant stated the days of operation at the facility will be Saturday's and Sunday's along with two week nights depending on the needs of the clients. On the weekends, there will be three classes in the afternoon, each lasting one hour, and on weeknights, there will be one evening class lasting one hour. Outside of class time, the facilities will be closed. This is strictly a space for obedience training; there will be no boarding, grooming, or other related services present. Traffic The rural location of the proposed facility makes additional traffic associated with this business easily handled by both 161St Ave NW and Round Lake Boulevard NW. This area generally has light traffic and the minimal increase will not adversely affect the surrounding roadways. Parking City Code 12 -13 -8 specifies the number of parking spaces required for various uses. Being that the proposed space to be rented for commercial animal training shares a building/parking lot with Andover Liquor, they are considered one entity. Retail store and service establishments require one parking space per 200 square feet of floor area. The space for the commercial animal training has a 1,500 square feet floor area and Andover Liquor has 1,550 square feet of floor area. The total combined floor area is 3,050 square feet. This would require 16 parking spaces in the lot. Currently, there are 16 spaces however; the striping is not in accordance with City Code as seven of the 16 spaces are striped with blue paint. Code 12 -13 -8 states all striping must be painted either white or yellow. Restriping could be done on the existing paved parking lot and the minimum requirements met without any expansion. Review Criteria 12 -14 -6 B: Criteria for Granting Conditional Use Permits: 1. In granting a Conditional Use Permit, the City Council shall consider the advice and recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and: a. The effect of the proposed use upon the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of occupants of surrounding lands. b. Existing and anticipated traffic conditions, including parking facilities on adjacent streets and land. c. The effect on values of property and scenic view in the surrounding area, and the effect of the proposed use on the Comprehensive Plan. ACTION REQUESTED The Planning Commission is asked to hold a public hearing and provide a recommendation to the City Council regarding the conditional use permit request.

The 1500 sq. ft. location attached to the Andover Liquor Store is a wonderful spot, perfectly suited to expand the offerings of Pack Leader Behavior & Training. For the past five years, Pack Leader Behavior & Training has offered in -home dog training and behavior modification to dog owners in the Twin Cities and surrounding areas. Now, with the addition of this facility, we can expand to provide group training and flex training sessions to continue to educate owners and train dogs. Physically, there will be no changes to the facility. My needs dictate a wide opened room with no encumbrances. This large room will be used to give group classes to dogs and owners in one hour blocks of time. The facility can house classes of 8 to 10 dogs in a class learning basic obedience, basic manners, puppy obedience and socialization and other dog training type classes. Owners will be with their dogs at all times. There will be no boarding, grooming or other services sometimes associated with this type of facility. In addition, the group training classes will be offered at a nominal fee to local shelter and rescue organizations to educate /train their foster parents and dogs to increase the adoption rate of their animals. I appreciate the consideration of this application and thank you in advance for your approval for me to continue my work.

DATE: April 10, 2012 INTRODUCTION The applicant is requesting temporary storage of approximately 7,000 cubic yards of fill material at the subject property in the location shown on the attached fill storage area maps. City Code 12 -12 requires a conditional use permit for stockpiling more than 400 cubic yards of material on a property. DISCUSSION The applicant has an agreement with North Pine Aggregate Inc. to receive some of the material that will be removed from Hanson Boulevard as part of this year's reconstruction project. The material will be hauled to the subject property as the tire chips are removed from the site. It is the applicant's intent to use the material to improve a farm road on their property as well as for sale as part of the existing sod operation. Engineering Department Review As shown on the attached aerial photograph with floodplain boundaries, proposed storage area `A' is located within the floodplain. As a result, City Code 14 -1 Flood Control Regulations apply to the proposal. City Code 14- 1- 7B.2.d.(2) and (3) allow the proposed fill on a temporary basis provided there is a plan for its containment and removal (attached). The Engineering Department has provided the attached memorandum to address this item. Conditions of approval have also been added to the attached resolution to address the items discussed in the memorandum. Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization ( LRRWMO) A permit from the LRRWMO is also required for the proposed project due to the fact that area of the property where the material will be stored is within the floodplain. This permit will also address the future farm road improvements to ensure that fill material and peat removal is balanced (i.e. no net filling of floodplain). Gas Pipeline A natural gas pipeline traverses the site from northwest to southeast. Trucks will be crossing the pipeline to deliver material. A compacted berm has been installed by North Pine Aggregate, Inc. and inspected by the pipeline operator (Koch Industries, Inc.) Transportation Hanson Boulevard will be closed to through traffic during construction which will allow the material to be safely moved to the site. Due to the fact that a portion of the material will be exported through the sod operation, the conditions from previous approvals requiring signage and watering of the roadway on the site are included in the attached resolution. Displacement The storage areas are located a significant distance away from adjacent homes and roads as shown on the attached maps. Silt fence and seeding to establish groundcover on the stockpile will be required through the LRRWMO permit. Conditional Use Permit Criteria City Code 12 -14 -6 B. provides the following criteria for granting conditional use permits: 1. In granting a Conditional Use Permit, the City Council shall consider the advice and recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and: a. The effect of the proposed use upon the health, safety, morals and general welfare of occupants of surrounding lands. b. Existing and anticipated traffic conditions, including parking facilities on adjacent streets and land. c. The effect on values of property and scenic views in the surrounding area, and the effect of the proposed use on the Comprehensive Plan. 2. If it shall determine by resolution that the proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, or general welfare of the community, nor will cause serious traffic congestion or hazards, nor will seriously depreciate surrounding property values, and that said use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this title and the Comprehensive Plan, the City Council may grant such permits. Planning Commission Review The Planning Commission will need to consider whether the proposed use is acceptable based on the conditional use permit criteria listed above, whether other conditions are necessary, or whether the proposed use cannot be made to meet the conditional use permit criteria. ACTION REQUESTED The Commission is asked to hold a public hearing, review the proposed conditional use permit application and make a recommendation to the City Council.

Berkowitz, City Engineer /Director of Public Works. FROM: Todd J. Haas, Asst. Public Works Director SUBJECT: 2012 Kuiken CUP /Stockpiling DATE: April 4, 2012 The Engineering Department has reviewed the request by applicant, Dennis Kuiken, to stockpile material on his property. These comments provided are separate comments from the tire stockpiles that have already been approved by the City of Andover. It is recommended that the following stipulations be provided in the resolution that will be considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission as part of the review of the CUP. The recommendations are as follows: 1. Need to verify with the Anoka Conservation District (ACD) that wetlands will not be impacted. A written correspondence from ACID will be required. 2. It is the City staff's understanding that the material from the Hanson Boulevard reconstruction project is proposed to be stocked piled and stored on the Kuiken property and would be used for possibly constructing new farm roads or reconstructing existing farm roads owned property owner. To avoid the stock piling of this material for a lengthy period of time (in this case possibly up to 2 years as requested by the applicant), it is recommended by the Engineering Department that the applicant/property owners obtain all necessary permits for constructing new farm roads or reconstructing of existing farm roads from the city and obtain the necessary permits from the Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization ( LRRWMO). If the property does not obtain the necessary permits from City and the LRRWMO by September 28, 2012, it is recommended to be indicate in the resolution that all stockpiles must be removed, graded to the original elevations and all disturbed areas from the stockpile be restored (seeded and mulching, etc.) by November 2, 2012. If the property does receive approval from' the City and the LRRWMO for the construction or reconstruction of the farm roads by September 28, 2012, the applicant /property owner would be allowed up to 1 year required to construct the new farm roads or reconstruct of the existing farm roads. The time frame for this to be done is recommended to be September 27, 2013. Note: The reason for the approval from the City is needed is due to the existing floodplain where the new farm roads or reconstructed farm roads would be located. The change in the elevation of the floodplain by City Code is not allowed and to ensure that this is not happening, review by the City will be necessary. 3. The proposed stockpile will need approval from the LRRWMO. It is suggested that the current plan that was approved by the LRRWMO for the tire stockpile be revised to identify the stockpile of material that is coming from Hanson Boulevard project. Hauling of this material prior to approval by the watershed will be violation. The next LRRWMO meeting is scheduled for April 191h. If the applicant is unable to submit for this meeting, the next meeting would be May 17 h. 4. It is the applicant and/or the property to determine if a MPCA NPDES permit will be required for the site. It is recommended to include this in the resolution. I► OiTy 60oe /q-1 -7 6.2. b. Procedures And Standards: All floodway conditional uses shall be subject to the procedures and standards contained in Subsection 14 -1 -14C of this chapter. c. Permitted In Underlying Zoning District: The conditional use shall be permissible in the underlying zoning district. (1) Fill, dredge spoil and all similar materials deposited or stored in the floodplain shall be protected from erosion by vegetative cover, mulching, riprap or other acceptable method. (2) Dredge spoil sites and sand and gravel operations shall not be allowed in the floodway unless a long term site development plan is submitted which includes an erosion /sedimentation prevention element to the plan. (3) As an alternative, and consistent with Subsection B2d(2) of this section, dredge spoil disposal and sand and gravel operations may allow temporary, on site storage of fill or other materials which would have caused an increase to the stage of the 100year or regional flood but only after the governing body has received an appropriate plan which assures the removal of the materials from the floodway based upon the flood warning time available. The Conditional Use Permit must be title registered with the property in the office of the County Recorder. e. Accessory Structures: (1) Accessory structures shall not be designed for human habitation. (2) Accessory structures, if permitted, shall be constructed and placed on the building site so as to offer the minimum obstruction to the flow of floodwaters.

DATE: April 10, 2012 INTRODUCTION The applicant previously received approval of a conditional use permit for one used vehicles sales dealer on the subject property (see attached Resolution R055 -11). At this time the applicant is seeking to amend that permit to expand the parking area and ultimately allow additional used vehicle sales dealers. DISCUSSION The proposed parking addition would provide additional parking to satisfy the five stall minimum that the state requires for up to five total vehicle sales dealers. It should be noted that Council approval is required for each dealer license as provided in City Code 3 -8 (attached). Additionally, the state has a variety of requirements that will need to be met if additional dealers licenses are to be issued for the site. The site does not currently satisfy a number of state requirements including separate offices, entrances and addresses for each potential vehicle sales business. Please note that the state has an application, review and inspection process independent of local regulations. Comparison to City Code As with all conditional use permits, the existing site must be compared with existing regulations to determine if there are deficiencies that need to be addressed. City Code 12 -13 -22 established interim performance standards for this industrial park (attached). These standards allow the city to review existing site conditions and the proposed use of the property to determine how the performance standards of City Code 12 -13 will be applied. Landscaping Requirements of City Code 12 -13 -6 Tree Requirements Shrub Requirements Site Perimeter 1070 feet 1150 feet 21 1/20 feet 53 Bldg Perimeter 606 feet NA 0 1/10 feet 61 Existing Trees 12 Existing Shrubs 18 Total Required Trees 21 Required Shrubs 114 City Code 12 -13 -8 Off Street Parking Requirements A total of 15 parking stalls are required for the existing vehicle sales dealer based on the City Code requirements shown in the table below. The proposed plan Shows 34 striped stalls. A 35th stall could be achieved by striping the space at the northwest corner of the front parking area. The stalls shown on the plan meet the 10 foot by 18 foot parking stall dimensions with the exception of two accessible parking stalls which meet the requirements of the International Building Code. Please note the front parking area will need to be restriped to match the proposed plan. If five vehicle sales licenses are to be issued for the property a minimum of 35 parking stalls would be needed to satisfy the five stall minimum required by the state and the ten customer and employee parking stalls required by the city. Additionally, an area of the new drive lane to 162nd Lane NW is shown without curb and gutter adjacent to potential future parking stalls as permitted by City Code 12 -13 -8 E.9.b. with an approved plan. The dashed area on the attached site plan encroaches on both an existing septic tank and existing trees. The applicant's engineer has indicated that twenty feet of the future parking area will be eliminated to avoid the septic tank. This adjustment and a requirement for replacement of any trees removed to allow the future parking stalls are included as conditions of approval in the attached resolution. Finally, a portion of the proposed new drive lane on the east side of the site encroaches into the ten foot side yard setback typically required by City Code 12 -13 -8 F.S.b. This encroachment allows for a guy -wire that extends from the power pole that provides electricity to the larger building on the property. Staff recommends that the applicant work with Connexus to move the guy -wire at minimal expense instead of constructing the drive lane in the ten foot setback area. Use Parking Stall Requirements Required Stalls Employee Parking: 3 stalls plus 1 per 400 s.f beyond the first 1,000 gross floor area (800 s.f. office) 5 Vehicle Sales Customer Parking: 5 stalls plus 5 stalls per acre above the first acre (1.3 acres) 5 Vehicle Display Parking: (as proposed by applicant) 25 ACTION REQUESTED The Planning Commission is asked to hold a public hearing and make a recommendation to the City Council.

DATE: April 10, 2012 INTRODUCTION The Planning Commission is requested to review the Program Modification and Tax Increment Financing Plan for Development District No. 1 and Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 -5 for compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan. DISCUSSION Trident Development, LLC approached the Andover EDA in February proposing to build a 70 unit senior housing facility located on the southwest corner of Hanson Boulevard NW and 155th Lane NW in the Grey Oaks development to be known as Arbor Oaks. The project would include independent, assisted living and memory care units. Trident Development also requested a subsidy from the city in the form of a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Housing District. Under this pay as you go program, the taxes would be rebated back to the project and would be used to reduce the rental rates in some of the units to create affordability. The Planning Commission is asked to review the modifications and the plan for consistency with the Andover Comprehensive Plan. The goals, objectives and policies contained within Chapter One of the Comprehensive Plan are attached. The proposed modifications and plan are directly supported by Goal #1 of the Comprehensive Plan; to maintain and enhance the quality of life in Andover. The modifications are also supported by the attached land use and housing goals, objectives and policies. More specifically, to provide for a variety of housing types to accommodate the life cycle needs of all residents. a.

This modification represents a continuation of the goals and objectives set forth in the Development Program for Development District No. 1. Generally, the substantive changes include the establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 -5. For further information, a review of the Development Program for Development District No. 1, adopted September 2, 1986, is recommended. It is available from the City Administrator at the City of Andover. Other relevant information is contained in the Tax Increment Financing Plans for the Tax Increment Financing Districts located within Development District No. 1. Andover EDA Modification to the Development Program for Development District No. 1 1 -1 Section 2 - Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 -5 Subsection 2 -1. Foreword The Andover Economic Development Authority (the "EDA "), the City of Andover (the "City"), staff and consultants have prepared the following information to expedite the establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 -5 (the "District "), a housing tax increment financing district, located in Development District No. 1. Subsection 2 -2. Statutory Authority Within the City, there exist areas where public involvement is necessary to cause development or redevelopment to occur. To this end, the EDA and City have certain statutory powers pursuant to Minnesota Statutes ( "M.S.'), Sections 469.090 to 469.1082, inclusive, as amended, and M.S., Sections 469.174 to 469.1799, inclusive, as amended (the "Tax Increment Financing Act" or "TIF Act "), to assist in financing public costs related to this project. This section contains the Tax Increment Financing Plan (the "TIF Plan ") for the District. Other relevant information is contained in the Modification to the Development Program for Development District No. 1. Subsection 2 -3. Statement of Objectives The District currently consists of two parcels of land and adjacent and internal rights -of -way. The District is being created to facilitate the construction of a 70 unit senior rental housing development with services in the City. Please see Appendix A for further District information. The EDA has designated Trident Development LLC. as the developer. This TIF Plan is expected to achieve many of the objectives outlined in the Development Program for Development District No. 1. The activities contemplated in the Modification to the Development Program and the TIF Plan do not preclude the undertaking of other qualified development or redevelopment activities. These activities are anticipated to occur over the life of Development District No. 1 and the District. Subsection 2 -4. Development Program Overview 1. Property to be Acquired - Selected property located within the District may be acquired by the EDA or City and is further described in this TIF Plan. 2. Relocation - Relocation services, to the extent required by law, are available pursuant to M.S., Chapter 117 and other relevant state and federal laws. 3. Upon approval of a developer's plan relating to the project and completion of the necessary legal requirements, the EDA or City may sell to a developer selected properties that it may acquire within the District or may lease land or facilities to a developer. 4. The EDA or City may perform or provide for some or all necessary acquisition, construction, relocation, demolition, and required utilities and public street work within the District. Andover EDA Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 -5 2 -1 Subsection 2 -5. Description of Property in the District and Property To Be Acquired The District encompasses all property and adjacent rights -of -way and abutting roadways identified by the parcels listed in Appendix C of this TIF Plan. Please also see the map in Appendix B for further information on the location of the District. Subsection 2 -6. Classification of the District The EDA and City, in determining the need to create a tax increment financing district in accordance with M.S., Sections 469.174 to 469.1799, as amended, inclusive, find that the District, to be established, is a housing district pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 11 and M.S., Section 469.1761 as defined below: M.S., Section 469.174, Subd.11. "Housing district" means a type of tax increment financing district which consists ofa project, or a portion of a project, intended for occupancy, in part, by persons or families of low and moderate income, as defined in chapter 462A, Title 11 of the National Housing Act of 1934, the National Housing Act of 1959, the United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended, Title V of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended any other similar present or fixture federal, state, or municipal legislation, or the regulations promulgated under any of those acts, and that satisfies the requirements of M.S., Section 469.1761. Housing project means a project, or portion of a project, that meets all the qualifications ofa housing district under this subdivision, whether or not actually established as a housing district. M.S., Section 469.1761: Subd. 1. Requirement imposed. (a) In order for a tax increment financing district to qualify as a housing district: (1) the income limitations provided in this section must be satisfied; and (2) no more than 20 percent of the square footage of buildings that receive assistance from tax increments may consist of commercial, retail, or other nonresidential uses. (b) The requirements imposed by this section apply to property receiving assistance financed with tax increments, including interest reduction, land transfers at less than the Authority's cost of acquisition, utility service or connections, roads, parking facilities, or other subsidies. The provisions of this section do not apply, to districts located within a targeted area as defined in Section 462C.02 Subd 9, clause (e). (c) For purposes of the requirements of paragraph (a), the authority may elect to treat an addition to an existing structure as a separate building if.- (1) construction of the addition begins more than three years after construction of the existing structure was completed; and (2) for an addition that does not meet the requirements of paragraph (a), clause (2), if it is treated as a separate building, the addition was not contemplated by the tax increment f nancing plan which includes the existing structure. Andover EDA Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 -5 2 -2 Subd. 2. Owner occupied housing. For owner occupied residential property, 95 percent of the housing units must be initially purchased and occupied by individuals whose family income is less than or equal to the income requirements for qualified mortgage bond projects tinder section 1430 of the Internal Revenue Code. Subd. 3. Rental property. For residential rental property, the property must satisfy the income requirements for a qualified residential rental project as defined in section 142(d) of the Internal Revenue Code. The requirements of this subdivision apply for the duration of the tax increment financing district. Subd. 4. Noncompliance; enforcement. Failure to comply with the requirements of this section is subject to M.S., Section 469.1771. In meeting the statutory criteria the EDA and City rely on the following facts and findings: • The District consists of two parcels. • The development will consist of 70 units of senior rental housing • 20% of the units will be occupied by person with incomes less than 50% of median income Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 7, the District does not contain any parcel or part of a parcel that qualified under the provisions of M.S., Sections 273.111 or 273.112 or Chapter 473H for taxes payable in any of the five calendar years before the filing of the request for certification of the District. Subsection 2 -7. Duration and First Year of Tax Increment of the District Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 1, and Section 469.176, Subd. 1, the duration and first year of tax increment of the District must be indicated within the TIF Plan. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. lb., the duration of the District will be 25 years after receipt of the first increment by the EDA or City (a total of 26 years of tax increment). The EDA or City elects to receive the first tax increment in 2014, which is no later than four years following the year of approval of the District. Thus, it is estimated that the District, including any modifications of the TIF Plan for subsequent phases or other changes, would terminate after 2039, or when the TIF Plan is satisfied. The EDA or City reserves the right to decertify the District prior to the legally required date. Subsection 2 -8. Original Tax Capacity, Tax Rate and Estimated Captured Net Tax Capacity Value /Increment and Notification of Prior Planned Improvements Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 7 and M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 1, the Original Net Tax Capacity (ONTC) as certified for the District will be based on the market values placed on the property by the assessor in 2011 for taxes payable 2012. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subds. I and 2, the County Auditor shall certify in each year (beginning in the payment year 2014) the amount by which the original value has increased or decreased as a result of: 1. Change in tax exempt status of property; 2. Reduction or enlargement of the geographic boundaries of the district; 3. Change due to adjustments, negotiated or court - ordered abatements; 4. Change in the use of the property and classification; 5. Change in state law governing class rates; or Andover EDA Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 -5 2 -3 6. Change in previously issued building permits. In any year in which the current Net Tax Capacity (NTC) value of the District declines below the ONTC, no value will be captured and no tax increment will be payable to the EDA or City. The original local tax rate for the District will be the local tax rate for taxes payable 2012, assuming the request for certification is made before June 30, 2012. The ONTC and the Original Local Tax Rate for the District appear in the table below. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174 Subd. 4 and M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 1, 2, and 4, the estimated Captured Net Tax Capacity (CTC) of the District, within the Development District No. 1, upon completion of the projects within the District, will annually approximate tax increment revenues as shown in the table below. The EDA and City request 100 percent of the available increase in tax capacity for repayment of its obligations and current expenditures, beginning in the tax year payable 2014. The Project Tax Capacity (PTC) listed is an estimate of values when the projects within the District are completed. Project Estimated Tax Capacity upon Completion (PTC) $133,402 Original Estimated Net Tax Capacity (ONTC) $6,139 Estimated Captured Tax Capacity (CTC) $127,263 Original Local Tax Rate 1.10164 Pay 2012 Estimated Annual Tax Increment (CTC x Local Tax Rate) $140,198 Percent Retained by the EDA 100% Tax capacity includes a 3% inflation factor for the duration of the District. The tax capacity included in this chart is the estimated tax capacity of the District in year 25. The tax capacity of the District in year one is estimated to be $32,813. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 4, the EDA shall, after a due and diligent search, accompany its request for certification to the County Auditor or its notice of the District enlargement pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 4, with a listing of all properties within the District or area of enlargement for which building pen-nits have been issued during the eighteen (18) months immediately preceding approval of the TIF Plan by the municipality pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 3. The County Auditor shall increase the original net tax capacity of the District by the net tax capacity of improvements for which a building permit was issued. The City has reviewed the area to be included in the District and found no parcels for which building permits have been issued during the 18 months immediately preceding approval of the TIF Plan by the City and EDA. Subsection 2 -9. Sources of Revenue /Bonds to be Issued The costs outlined in the Uses of Funds will be financed primarily through the annual collection of tax increments. The EDA or City reserves the right to incur bonds or other indebtedness as a result of the TIF Plan. As presently proposed, the projects within the District will be financed by a pay -as- you -go note. Any refunding amounts will be deemed a budgeted cost without a formal TIF Plan Modification. This provision does not obligate the EDA or City to incur debt. The EDA or City will issue bonds or incur other debt only upon the detennination that such action is in the best interest of the City. Andover EDA Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 -5 2 -4 The total estimated tax increment revenues for the District are shown in the table below: SOURCES OF FUNDS TOTAL Tax Increment $2,487,159 Interest $248,715 TOTAL $2,735,874 The EDA or City may issue bonds (as defined in the TIE Act) secured in whole or in part with tax increments from the District in a maximum principal amount of $1,544,402. Such bonds may be in the form of pay -as- you-go notes, revenue bonds or notes, general obligation bonds, or interfund loans. This estimate of total bonded indebtedness is a cumulative statement of authority under this TIF Plan as of the date of approval. Subsection 2 -10. Uses of Funds Currently under consideration for the District is a proposal to facilitate the construction of 70 unit senior rental housing development with services. The EDA and City have determined that it will be necessary to provide assistance to the project(s) for certain District costs, as described. The EDA has studied the feasibility of the development or redevelopment of property in and around the District. To facilitate the establishment and development or redevelopment of the District, this TIF Plan authorizes the use of tax increment financing to pay for the cost of certain eligible expenses. The estimate of public costs and uses of funds associated with the District is outlined in the following table. USES OF TAX INCREMENT FUNDS TOTAL Land/Building Acquisition $100,000 Site Improvements/Preparation $75,000 Affordable Housing Activities $825,000 Other Qualifying Improvements $295,686 Administrative Costs (up to 10 %) $248.716 PROJECT COST TOTAL $1,544,402 Interest $1,191.472 PROJECT AND INTEREST COSTS TOTAL $2,735,874 The total project cost, including financing costs (interest) listed in the table above does not exceed the total projected tax increments for the District as shown in table in Subsection 2 -9. Estimated costs associated with the District are subject to change among categories without a modification to this TIF Plan. The cost of all activities to be considered for tax increment financing will not exceed, without formal modification, the budget above pursuant to the applicable statutory requirements. The EDA may expend funds for qualified housing activities outside of the District boundaries. Andover EDA Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 -5 2 -5 Subsection 2 -11. Fiscal Disparities Election Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 3, the EDA or City may elect one of two methods to calculate fiscal disparities. If the calculations pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 3, clause a, (outside the District) are followed, the following method of computation shall apply: (1) The original net tax capacity and the current net tax capacity shall be determined before the application of the fiscal disparity provisions of Chapter 276A or 473F. Where the original net tax capacity is equal to or greater than the current net tax capacity, there is no captured net tax capacity and no tax increment determination. Where the original net tax capacity is less than the current net tax capacity, the difference between the original net tax capacity and the current net tax capacity is the captured net tax capacity. This amount less any portion thereofwhich the authority has designated, in its tax increment financing plan, to share with the local taxing districts is the retained captured net tax capacity of the authority. (2) The county auditor shall exclude the retained captured net tax capacity of the authority from the net tax capacity of the local taxing districts in determining local taxing district tax rates. The local tax rates so determined are to be extended against the retained captured net tax capacity of the authority as well as the net tax capacity of the local taxing districts. The tax generated by the extension of the lesser of (A) the local taxing district tax rates or (B) the original local tax rate to the retained captured net tax capacity of the authority is the tax increment of the authority. The EDA will choose to calculate fiscal disparities by clause a. According to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 3: (c) The method of computation of tax increment applied to a district pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) shall remain the same for the duration of the district, except that the governing body may elect to change its election from the method of computation in paragraph (a) to the method in paragraph (b). Subsection 2 -12. Business Subsidies Pursuant to M.S. Section 1161993, Subd. 3, the following forms of financial assistance are not considered a business subsidy: (1) A business subsidy of less than $150,000; (2) Assistance that is generally available to all businesses or to a general class of similar businesses, such as a line of business, size, location, or similar general criteria; (3) Public improvements to buildings or lands owned by the state or local government that serve a public purpose and do not principally benefit a single business or defined group of businesses at the time the improvements are made; (4) Redevelopment property polluted by contaminants as defined in M.S., Section 116J.552, Subd. 3; (5) Assistance provided for the sole purpose of renovating old or decaying building stock or bringing it up to code and assistance provided for designated historic preservation districts, provided that the assistance is equal to or less than 50% of the total cost; (6) Assistance to provide job readiness and training services if the sole purpose of the assistance is to provide those services; (7) Assistance for housing; (8) Assistance for pollution control or abatement, including assistance for a tax increment financing Andover EDA Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 -5 2 -6 hazardous substance subdistrict as defined under M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 23; (9) Assistance for energy conservation; (10) Tax reductions resulting from conformity with federal tax law; (11) Workers' compensation and unemployment compensation; (12) Benefits derived from regulation; (13) Indirect benefits derived from assistance to educational institutions; (14) Funds from bonds allocated under chapter 474A, bonds issued to refund outstanding bonds, and bonds issued for the benefit of an organization described in section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended through December 31, 1999; (15) Assistance for a collaboration between a Minnesota higher education institution and a business; (16) Assistance for a tax increment financing soils condition district as defined under M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 19; (17) Redevelopment when the recipient's investment in the purchase of the site and in site preparation is 70 percent or more of the assessor's current year's estimated market value; (18) General changes in tax increment financing law and other general tax law changes of a principally technical nature; (19) Federal assistance until the assistance has been repaid to, and reinvested by, the state or local government agency; (20) Funds from dock and wharf bonds issued by a seaway port authority; (21) Business loans and loan guarantees of $150,000 or less; (22) Federal loan funds provided through the United States Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration; and (23) Property tax abatements granted under M.S., Section 469.1813 to property that is subject to valuation under Minnesota Rules, chapter 8100. The EDA will comply with MS., Sections 116J.993 to 116J.995 to the extent the tax increment assistance under this TIF Plan does not fall under any of the above exemptions. Subsection 2 -13. County Road Costs Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. ]a, the county board may require the EDA or City to pay for all or part of the cost of county road improvements if the proposed development to be assisted by tax increment will, in the judgment of the county, substantially increase the use of county roads requiring construction of road improvements or other road costs and if the road improvements are not scheduled within the next five years under a capital improvement plan or within five years under another county plan. If the county elects to use increments to improve county roads, it must notify the EDA or City within forty - five days of receipt of this TIF Plan. In the opinion of the EDA and City and consultants, the proposed development outlined in this TIF Plan will have little or no impact upon county roads, therefore the TIF Plan was not forwarded to the county 45 days prior to the public hearing. The EDA and City are aware that the county could claim that tax increment should be used for county roads, even after the public hearing. Subsection 2 -14. Estimated Impact on Other Taxing Jurisdictions The estimated impact on other taxing jurisdictions assumes that the redevelopment conternplated by the TIF Plan would occur without the creation of the District. However, the EDA or City has determined that such development or redevelopment would not occur "but for" tax increment financing and that, therefore, the fiscal impact on other taxing jurisdictions is $0. The estimated fiscal impact of the District would be as follows if the "but for" test was not met: Andover EDA Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 -5 2 -7 IMPACT ON TAX BASE 2011/Pay 2012 Estimated Captured Total Net Tax Capacity (CTC) Percent of CTC Tax Capacity Upon Completion to Entity Total Anoka County 237,432,514 127,263 0.0536% City of Andover 20,486,814 127,263 0.6212% ISD No. 11 29,720,536 127,263 0.4282% IMPACT ON TAX RATES The estimates listed above display the captured tax capacity when all construction is completed. The tax rate used for calculations is the actual Pay 2012 rate. The total net capacity for the entities listed above are based on actual Pay 2012 figures. Pursuant to M.S. Section 469.175 Subd. 2(b): (1) Estimate of total tax increment. It is estimated that the total amount of tax increment that will be generated over the life of the District is $2,487,159; (2) Probable impact of the District on city provided services and ability to issue debt. An impact of the District on police protection is expected. The City does track all calls for service including property - type calls and crimes. With any addition of new residents or businesses, police calls for service will be increased. New developments add an increase in traffic, and additional overall demands to the call load. The City does not expect that the proposed development, in and of itself, will necessitate new capital investment in vehicles or require that the City hire additional officers. The probable impact of the District on fire protection is not expected to be significant. Typically new buildings generate few calls, if any, and are of superior construction. The impact of the District on public infrastructure is expected to be minimal. The development is not expected to significantly impact any traffic movements in the area. The current infrastructure for sanitary sewer, stonn sewer and water will be able to handle the additional volume generated from the proposed development. Based on the development plans, there are no additional costs associated with street maintenance, sweeping, plowing, lighting and sidewalks. The develo p merit in the District is expected to contribute an estimated 556,000 in sanitary sewer (SAC) and $79,400 in water (WAC) connection fees.

Andover EDA Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 -5 2 -8 The probable impact of any District general obligation tax increment bonds on the ability to issue debt for general fund purposes is expected to be minimal. It is not anticipated that there will be any general obligation debt issued in relation to this project, therefore there will be no impact on the City's ability to issue future debt or on the City's debt limit. (3) Estimated amount of tax increment attributable to school district levies It is estimated that the amount of tax increments over the life of the District that would be attributable to school district levies, assuming the school district's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remained the same, is $526,532; (4) Estimated amount of tax increment attributable to county levies. It is estimated that the amount of tax increments over the life of the District that would be attributable to county levies, assuming the county's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remained the same, is $928,954; (5) Additional information requested by the county or school district. The City is not aware of any standard questions in a county or school district written policy regarding tax increment districts and impact on county or school district services. The county or school district must request additional information pursuant to M.S. Section 469.175 Subd. 2(b) within 15 days after receipt of the tax increment financing plan. No requests for additional information from the county or school district regarding the proposed development for the District have been received. Subsection 2 -15. Supporting Documentation Pursuant to M.S. Section 469.175, Subd. I (a), clause 7 the TIF Plan must contain identification and description of studies and analyses used to make the findings are required in the resolution approving the District.

Appendix E -1 Appendix F Findings for the District To be added prior to the public hearing Appendix F -1 C 1 T V O f NDOVE zoos Comprehensive Plan Update iVDOVF'R 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update Chapter One: Foundation of the Comprehensive Plan Identity Andover is primarily a residential community with established urban and rural neighborhoods. Greater than ninety percent of the city's housing stock is owner occupied. Families with school age children comprise the largest portions of Andover's population. Residents value the rural character of the community, the local schools, the park system and their safe neighborhoods. These values have influenced the policies of the city. Areas planned for urban development are balanced with rural areas to allow the rural character of the community to be preserved. This growth pattern is reflected in the Metropolitan Council's 2030 Regional Development Framework which provides Andover with both Developing Community and Rural Residential planning area designations. More information on these designations is provided in Chapter Two: Land Use Plan. As the city's population has grown, so has the demand for commercial development. The result has been consistently strong occupancy of previously existing commercial centers such as the Downtown Center, successful redevelopment of former industrial properties into Andover Station and Andover Station North as well as expansion of the commercial tax base to include neighborhood centers like Andover Clocktower Commons and Hanson Commons, Growth Forecast The 2030 Regional Development Framework prepared by the Metropolitan Council provides a population, household and employment forecast for each community in the seven county metropolitan area. The purpose of this information is to determine how investments in regional systems will need to be made to accommodate the growth forecasted for the region from 2000 to 2030. Similarly, the city must plan and budget to ensure that local services, systems and facilities can be provided to accommodate growth. The tables below show city and Metropolitan Council growth forecasts. The city forecast is considered to be more accurate because it is based on verified building permit activity and parcel level analysis.
