Commissioner Peterson agreed and felt most of the business would be in the evening and in order for the applicant to grow her business she may need additional time for her clients.

Commissioner Peterson asked if there were any special provisions that the developer has to abide by during construction with the creek being there. Ms. Hanson stated there are things the developer will have to abide by and NPDES requirements that will need to be met. Ms. Hanson noted the lots are really deep so the creek will not be affected at all. Commissioner Nemeth stated regarding the tree preservation, these are recommendations but he did not see them in the motion and wondered if they should be added. Ms. Hanson stated those recommendations were comments and do not need to be added to the motion. Acting Chairperson Holthus asked if the Andover Review Committee approved this plat. Ms. Hanson stated this is discussed as a group and then goes out to the departments for review and the only ones with comments were the engineering department and they will • be the ones making sure the issues are addressed.

Mr. Jim Cormear, Boulder Contracting, 2322 171 ' Lane NE, Ham Lake, stated homes will typically be three bedroom, two baths or larger with basements. These will be custom built homes and it will be up to the client on what they want built. Commissioner Peterson stated on lot one, he noticed it appears to be wider than the others. Mr. Cormear stated there are maintenance easements and sewer stubs already in that the lots need to meet up with. Commissioner Peterson asked if the lot sizes could be made more uniform. Mr. Cormear stated because of the easement there would not be much more land that could be added to each lot to make them more uniform. Commissioner Peterson asked what the price point would be. Mr. Cormear thought the • homes would be $275,000 to $350,000. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — December 10, 2013 Page 5 • Commissioner Gudmundson asked if there would be any covenants or an association in this development. Mr. Cormear stated at this point there would not be any. Commissioner Peterson stated Lot 4 is across the street from a "T" intersection and he wondered if the developer had any preference on where to place the driveway. Mr. Cormear stated it would depend on the elevations and the type of elevations for the type of home that would be built, but typically they would not want the driveway located directly across from the intersection. Commissioner Nemeth asked regarding the trees, would the developer try to save some of the mature trees on the property. Mr. Cormear stated they will look at saving mature trees but it all depends on the drainage and utility easements and how the homes will sit on the property. He noted the trees next to the creek will remain to create a buffer.

As a member community of the Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization, adoption of the recommended changes would bring Andover into conformance to Minnesota Rules, Chapter 6120.5000. Commissioner Nemeth asked if the reason this was before them was to make sure this conformed to the State rules. Mr. Angell indicated that was correct.
