Motion by Koehler, seconded by Nemeth, to recommend to the City Council approval of the rezoning request based on the fact that the property is located within the MUSA, water and sewer are available to the property, and the request is in harmony with the Andover Comprehensive Plan. Motion carried on a 4 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- present, 3- absent (Cleven, Daninger, Gudmundson) vote. City Planner Hanson stated that this item would be before the Council at the June 3, 2014 City Council meeting. PUBLIC HEARING: Consider a Preliminary Plat for a 64 -Lot Residential Development Known as Country Oaks North — North of Wintergreen Street NW and 161` Avenue NW— SW Land, LLC City Planner Hanson noted the purpose of this item is to hold a public hearing and take public input on the preliminary plat of Country Oaks North. The plat contains 64 -urban lots as proposed by SW Land, LLC. City Planner Hanson reviewed the proposed preliminary plat with the Commission. Commissioner Koehler asked on Outlot A, would the emergency access road be to access the railroad, the neighborhood or both. Ms. Hanson indicated it would be to service the neighborhood. Commissioner Koehler indicated he appreciated seeing this because of issues that have come up in the past. Commissioner Koehler asked if moving the storm water further back into the lots by the railroad tracks was to open up some more space for a backyard and was the intention also to lose some trees. Ms. Hanson stated that was correct. The City requested the storm water be moved further back with the intention of planting more trees. Commissioner Koehler asked if there has been any discussion with the developer about some type of barrier between the railroad track and the back property lines. Ms. Hanson indicated he could ask the builder. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —May 27, 2014 Page 3 Commissioner Peterson asked where the outline of the storm water ponds will be on the lots. Ms. Hanson showed a map of the development with the buffer and ponding. Commissioner Peterson stated previously discussed was a future connection to Hanson Boulevard to the west and he asked where it would be located. Ms. Hanson directed Mr. Peterson to the developer. Motion by Koehler, seconded by Nemeth, to open the public hearing at 7:21 p.m. Motion carried on a 4 -ayes, 0 -nays, O- present, 3- absent (Cleven, Daninger, Gudmundson) vote. Mr. Scott Wold, developer, explained at the last meeting in September there was a strong concern about a connection to the west. Since then they have met with property owners to the west and have acquired, under contract, the additional land that it takes to go to the west. Mr. Wold reviewed the drawing with the Commission. Mr. Wold stated they decided to make every effort to go to the west sooner than later because of the neighborhood and City concerns. Chairperson Holthus asked what the timeline will be for connection of the road. Mr. Wold thought that once construction got to 50 percent complete they would start phase two going west. This will be a benefit to their subdivision as they sell lots. Chairperson Holthus asked if they anticipate any problems with acquiring the land. Mr. Wold stated they did not have any problems acquiring the land, the problem will lie with crossing the wetlands. Mr. Carlberg indicated the area that has been sketched over the race track area is not currently in the MUSA so a Comprehensive Plan Amendment process would have to ensue to bring that in. It does not mean the road could not be brought in but in order for that area to develop there would need to be a Comp. Plan Amendment process. Commissioner Koehler asked if there was anything between there and Hanson in the MUSA. Mr. Carlberg indicated there was not. Commissioner Nemeth stated there is a memo in the packet regarding Lot 1, Block 3, and the grade that is there. The grade is not supposed to exceed eight percent however on that lot the grade is 10.3 percent and he wondered if this has been reviewed and what is the plan to correct the grading issue. Mr. Wold indicated it has been taken care of with the last revision done on Friday, May 23rd . Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —May 27, 2014 Page 4 © Commissioner Koehler asked if there was any type of boundary buffer between the back of the lots and the railroad tracks. Mr. Nash, DBS Engineering, stated on their latest plans they have moved the storm sewers back towards the railroad tracks while saving some trees along the railroad. He showed a layout of the tree preservation being proposed on the east and west side. Chairperson Holthus asked if the bike track will be gone. Mr. Wold indicated that was correct. Chairperson Holthus wanted to make sure that all of the concerns noted in the memo to staff from the City Engineers will be taken care of before going before the City Council. Mr. Wold indicated they would. Commissioner Peterson stated regarding 167` ", is there any way an east/west trail could be placed along here. Mr. Carlberg indicated there is a trail planned on the north side of 167`h that will eventually connect. Commissioner Nemeth stated on Outlot A, is there anything to the east of the outlot that would allow emergency vehicles to come through. Mr. Wold stated they have requested permission from the property owner and it has been granted to have a 16 foot crossing. The goal is this will be temporary until the road goes through to the west. Mr. Jeff Simms, 16526 Sycamore Street, asked on behalf of Peter Stiger, what was the limitation on the number of driveways on a State Aid Road and has the development met those limitations. Mr. Carlberg indicated they have tried to limit the number of accesses where possible. The City Engineering Department has reviewed this and is accepting of those accesses onto the street. Mr. Simms stated at the meeting last fall there was a lot of talk to the road to the west and one of the topics that came up was as people go down Wintergreen in the morning they will cross to Hwy 65 so the idea would be to go out of the development to the west, down Hanson to 161" and then around to Hwy 65. This does not alleviate the traffic problem of people going down Wintergreen. Something to ponder during the approval process. Mr. Simms stated regarding the emergency access, in the winter time the fire truck will not be able to get through the snow in an emergency. Also, in Country Oaks West there are a bunch of lots along the railroad tracks that are not sold and he wondered if there was a concern that they have a bunch of lots in the new development and getting those sold. He also stated it feels like developers attend the meeting showing plans for future development and he wondered if it was up to the developers to drive those plans or is it up to the Planning Commission to dictate how they want the City to look because it feels like the developers have control. He also wanted to know why if the Planning Commission votes differently tonight from the rezoning of the property last fall, the reason for it. H Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —May 27, 2014 Page 5 © Mr. Carlberg indicated there was no rezoning before them last fall, there was a Comp. Plan Amendment before the Commission to include this in the MUSA so this is the rezoning part of the development and that was not asked of the Commission previously. Mr. Carlberg explained the process the City goes through when reviewing a development. Commissioner Koehler stated his recollection of the meeting was that, not that they did not want to change the land use to urban but there were too many details that had not been reviewed yet for them to be comfortable with the change. Those issues did get hammered out through multiple meetings with the City, City Council and staff. The big issues were how they would get emergency vehicles into the development and that issue was worked out. He stated the City Council broke this into phases and the developer worked a way to get emergency vehicles in, with plowing, which is what eventually gets him to vote in favor of this. Commissioner Nemeth stated the biggest issue he had was the traffic issue and now that issue is being taken care of within the development. Mr. James Selmer, 17000 Ward Lake Drive, stated the road coming out of the development, 167` ", will go up by his property and he was concerned what the assessment will be on his property for the road. Also, the property where the dirt track is located © appears not to have urban housing on it and was supposed to be rural housing. He wondered if their property will be considered for urban housing rather than rural housing. He indicated their lots are worth a lot less now because of the change. Mr. Carlberg stated as Mr. Wold has indicated, he has sketched the Kuiken property as urban and it is his desire to look at a Comp. Plan Amendment process to include that in the urban service area. The sewer will be coming from the Country Oaks North plat so it is logical to look at the extension to the west into this area as well as to the north, the Ganter property, so the likelihood of having City utilities to Mr. Selmer's property is very limited if at all possible. There was further discussion between the Commission and staff regarding the surrounding property and how that will develop in the future. Chairperson Holthus indicated her continued concern is the traffic that will be going out onto Wintergreen. She noted all the criteria have been met for the land use and zoning so it would be hard for the Commission not to recommend approval. Commissioner Nemeth wondered who is going to maintain outlot A and who will be responsible for maintenance of the emergency vehicle access. Mr. Carlberg stated this is something staff needs to check on and make sure the City has the authority to maintain the emergency access area across the tracks and out to Ward Lake Drive. They will need © to have a discussion before the June 3rd City Council meeting to get it taken care of. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —May 27, 2014 Page 6 Chairperson Holthus asked what the infiltration basin will look like. Mr. Nash stated the infiltration area will be a dry pond with a seed mix of prairie seed and buffer monuments around the area making this a no mow area which will treat the runoff water on the site. It will be a large rain garden. Mr. Mike Babineau, 16480 Wintergreen Street NW, stated he shared the south border of this property. He thought it was a mistake to allow more driveway accesses onto Wintergreen. There has also been concern about the housing butting up against the railroad tracks, he liked what was done at Winslow Woods by having multiple cul -de- sac's to limit the number of houses backing onto the railroad tracks. Motion by Koehler, seconded by Nemeth, to close the public hearing at 7:57 p.m. Motion carried on a 4 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- present, 3- absent (Cleven, Daninger, Gudmundson) vote. Chairperson Holthus thought the pipe should be moved to the back of the lot because trees can be planted on top of them. Mr. Wold explained revisions were made to accomplish both by moving the pipe back and keep the tree line in the back. Mr. Carlberg indicated there will be an easement over the pipeline so trees and plantings will not be able to be put over them. © Mr. Wold indicated their desire is to save trees and by making the revisions they were able to save a considerable amount of trees. Motion by Koehler, seconded by Nemeth, to recommend to the City Council approval of resolution as stated with City Council taking into consideration some of the issues raised such as who will take care of the snow removal for the emergency access and understanding the trees will be preserved as stated in the latest documentation. Commissioner Peterson offered a friendly amendment to the motion to include: Regarding the roadway going to the west on Hanson, make sure the road will be built as part of the development. Commissioner Koehler stated the issue is they do not know how the road is going to get built, who will be responsible to build it and if the developer would be responsible. Mr. Carlberg indicated the forty acres that is Country Oaks North is allowed to develop under the phasing without the access onto Hanson, which is by Council direction given to Mr. Wold. Mr. Wold has indicated he will try to build the road as soon as possible, it is the development to the north that cannot happen without that access. To make that a condition of approval is probably not acceptable because it is not the direction that was given to Mr. Wold. HJ Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — May 27, 2014 Page 7 Mr. Peterson removed his amendment and strongly suggested the road get built as soon as possible. Motion carried on a 4 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- present, 3- absent (Cleven, Daninger, Gudmundson) vote. City Planner Hanson stated that this item would be before the Council at the June 3, 2014 City Council meeting. PUBLIC HEARING: Consider a Sketch Plan Review for a 26-Lot Residential Development Located at 139th Avenue NW and Martin Street NW — Povlitzki Properties, LLC City Planner Hanson noted the purpose of this item is to hold a public hearing and take input on a residential sketch plan for a single family urban residential development as requested by Povlitzki Properties, LLC. City Planner Hanson reviewed the proposed residential sketch plan with the Commission. Chairperson Holthus asked if the applicant or developer has seen the memo from staff © regarding the review of the sketch plan. Mr. Hanson indicated they have. Commissioner Nemeth asked for a review of the length of cul -de -sac's the City likes to stay at. Mr. Carlberg indicated it is 500 feet. Commissioner Nemeth asked if there was any thought about running 139`h all the way through to the west and connecting it where 139`h ends in the adjoining neighborhood. Mr. Carlberg stated this has been discussed before and the answer is no, there is a trail connection but it was the desire of the City years ago not to connect the neighborhoods. Commissioner Nemeth asked for the reasoning of this. Mr. Carlberg stated there was a desire of the Red Oaks development not to have that connection and also running all the traffic from commercial areas over to Crosstown through 1391h was not good for the neighborhoods. Chairperson Holthus wondered if 139`h going east ended up on Hanson. Ms. Hanson stated it ends up on Jay Street. Commissioner Peterson asked for an explanation on how the lot sizes do not meet the minimum requirements of the M -1 zoning. Ms. Hanson reviewed the requirements. Commissioner Koehler asked where the Walmart loading dock is located at. Mr. Carlberg showed on the aerial map where the loading dock is located at. Q Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — May 27, 2014 Page 8 © Commissioner Koehler asked if Walmart has come forward to the City to request a 24 hour permit. Mr. Carlberg stated they have not. Commissioner Peterson asked if there is enough space, given the ponds, to make those viable city lots. Ms. Hanson noted they will not know those details until they look at the preliminary plat. Commissioner Koehler asked if staff had any opinion on how the cul -de -sacs are laid out on the plans. He wondered if they met all the City requirements. Ms. Hanson stated they do meet all of the City requirements. Commissioner Nemeth wanted the developer to look at the cul -de -sacs because he did not think they looked right. Motion by Nemeth, seconded by Peterson, to open the public hearing at 8:15 p.m. Motion carried on a 4 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- present, 3- absent (Cleven, Daninger, Gudmundson) vote. Ms. Arlene Welk, 13809 Nightingale Street, stated her property is butted up against the new development. She wondered if there will be any emergency access through this development. She also wondered how close the buildings will be built in the backyard to the lot lines. She thought the buildings looked very close together. She would suggest they back up and keep them at an acre lots like they used to be so they blend in with the 10 homes surrounding them. She also asked what the orange bands on the trees are. Mr. Carlberg indicated they have some oak wilt they are looking at getting rid of and the developer may have some trees marked as well. Ms. Welk wondered how far the buildings are supposed to be from the lot line. Mr. Carlberg stated rear yard setback is thirty feet which is the standard for a residential structure. The question of access, they have 139th Avenue where this project will abut and also Martin and Linnet Street coming in from the north and another access point to the north, 139th Lane. So there are a couple of accesses to the project. There is not access to the development to the west but there is a few ways to get back into this area if there are emergencies. Ms. Welk asked if the thirty feet was from the front lot. Mr. Carlberg explained how the setbacks are measured. Ms. Welk wondered if there was any way to get larger lots so they looked nicer. Mr. Carlberg stated that would be an item for discussion with the developer. What the developer is proposing is to develop this site like the one to the north of it. Mr. Carlberg reviewed the possible emergency access plan. Mr. Jeff Gribner, 1917 139th Avenue NW, stated when Capstone put in the development © they said the resident had to put in their own mailboxes but when he talked to the post office, they were upset with the developer that cluster boxes were not put in. He thought Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — May 27, 2014 Page 9 © it looked messy when everyone had their own mailboxes. He thought the developer should include that in their plans. Mr. Carlberg stated they are aware that the Post Office will be making changes regarding clustering of mailboxes. Mr. John Pratt, 13829 Nightingale Street NW, stated one concern is all of the trees were removed in the development to the north along with the marking of trees in this development. Another concern is the size of the lots. He also had a concern with the look of the cul -de -sac's and noted there was large equipment used when the development to the north was done and they heard rumbling, feel "mini earthquakes" and have noticed cracking in their homes because of this. Mr. Jeff Sims, 16526 Sycamore Street NW, stated he sees the same type of comment he stated before. There is a developer with a plan and meets all the specs, he would challenge the Planning. Commission to ask why they don't try to match what the development to the west, with larger lots, looks like rather to the north. He told the Planning Commission to not let the developer decide what Andover should look like. The Planning Commission should decide that. Mr. John Pratt, 13829 Nightingale Street NW, stated with Walmart having gone in and other homes, property values have gone up and he wondered if this was because of the homes going in or just a sign of the times. Mr. Carlberg indicated the homes Capstone built are higher in value and would probably continue to see values increase. There has not been a decrease in values due to Wal -Mart. Mr. Brad Povlitzki, Povlitzki Properties and Jason Rudd, Rudd's Land Surveying were at the meeting to answer questions. Commissioner Nemeth asked if the developer was thinking about reconfiguring the two cul -de -sac's at all. He thought it best to get rid of one of the cul -de -sac and having larger lots. Mr. Rudd stated they gathered some information from the City before they started the sketch plan. He stated when they started the process they did have a triangle cul -de- sac. Mr. Rudd reviewed the previous drawing of the cul -de -sac. Mr. Rudd explained the triangle cul -de -sac was not viewed well by the City so they went with the current double cul -de -sacs which he did not like as much as the previous one. They are looking for feedback from the Commission and Council. He stated they want to maximize the use of the property and they followed the same standard as the development to the north. They are using the same standards. He stated they are proposing a 30 foot rear yard setback. He noted the orange banding on the trees are marking the tree location areas, not for removal or preserving. He explained that some trees will be removed for roads, ponds and building pads but they will preserve some trees for buffers and other enhancements. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — May 27, 2014 Page 10 Commissioner Peterson asked if they looked at a circle cul -de -sac rather than a hammerhead one, this may be easier to navigate. Mr. Carlberg stated the issue is the middle circle and who is responsible for maintaining it, there are also snow removal and maintenance issues with these types of cul -de- sac's. Commissioner Koehler asked what the price point would be for the homes. Mr. Rudd thought it would be consistent with the neighborhood to the north. Mr. Povlitzki indicated they will not know until they get the soil borings done and back. Commissioner Koehler wondered if there was any reason besides wanting to maximize the property why the developer would not match the lots size to the lots on the west side of the development and then as it moves towards the north to make the lots smaller. Mr. Povlitzki stated they were looking to copy the same size lots to the north because the neighborhoods will connect versus the neighborhood to the west, which will not connect. Mr. Rudd thought they were working with the conditions that were there. Commissioner Koehler wondered if there was any way to bring Martin Street in to the south and instead of having two cul -de- sac's, have the street do a somewhat of a diagonal turn to the southeast and keep one cul -de -sac, instead of two. © It was noted there was an email from a resident that will go forward to the City Council regarding the loss of natural wildlife habitat and the safety of children in the. adjacent neighborhood. Motion by Nemeth, seconded by Koehler, to close the public hearing at 8:50 p.m. Motion carried on a 4 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- present, 3- absent (Cleven, Daninger, Gudmundson) vote. Chairperson Holthus summarized the concerns with two cul- de- sac's, lot size and emergency access. City Planner Hanson stated that this item would be before the Council at the June 3, 2014 City Council meeting. PUBLIC HEARING: Consider an Interim Use Permit for the Storage of Street Construction Materials at the Property NE of 16541 Hanson Boulevard NW— Richard Kuiken Associate Planner Angell noted the purpose of this item is to hold a public hearing and take input on an Interim Use Permit for storage of street construction materials. © Associate Planner Angell reviewed the proposed Interim Use Permit request with the Commission. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — May 27, 2014 Page 11 x Commissioner Nemeth stated item 4 in the resolution talks about the completion date of December 1, 2014. He wondered if this is hauling off the property and if the date can be changed to an earlier one because of winter weather. Mr. Angell stated the date can be changed to November if Commission so desires. Commissioner Nemeth asked if the removal date of June 3, 2016 has been directed to staff by the applicant or who directed the date. Mr. Angell stated the date is coming from the City Engineering Department. Commissioner Koehler asked if there was any type of restraining structure other than the silt fencing that would prevent people from trespassing onto the property. Mr. Angell did not think there was. This is a landlocked parcel and would not be near any development until the Country Oaks North development was done. Commissioner Nemeth stated in the memo from the Public Works Director, Item 5 asked to show the planned haul route and he wondered if the Commission could see it. Mr. Angell stated he did not have one but it would be coming directly from the east where they are developing Country Oaks North. Motion by Nemeth, seconded by Peterson, to open the public hearing at 8:55 p.m. Motion carried on a 4- ayes, 0 -nays, 0- present, 3- absent (Cleven, Daninger, Gudmundson) vote. There was no public input. Motion by Koehler, seconded by Nemeth, to close the public hearing at 8:55 p.m. Motion carried on a 4 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- present, 3- absent (Cleven, Daninger, Gudmundson) vote. Commissioner Nemeth stated regarding the date, he would like to see it pushed up to around November 2014 because of the winter weather in Minnesota. Commissioner Koehler stated the weather was not what concerned him, what concerned him was that the site needed to be restored and vegetated which is hard when the ground is starting to freeze. Motion by Nemeth, seconded by Koehler, to recommend to the City Council approval of the Interim Use Permit for the storage of highway construction materials at the property NW of 16541 Hanson Boulevard NW with the conditions attached in the resolution and with a change to Item 4 to change the date from December 1, 2014 to November 1, 2014.

PUBLIC HEARING: Consider an Interim Use Permit —Land Reclamation to Add FilUMaterial to the NE Side of the Property —16404 Inca Street NW— Larry Schalo Associate Planner Angell noted the purpose of this item is to hold a public hearing and take input on an Interim Use Permit for Land Reclamation to add fill /material to the NE side of the property. Associate Planner Angell reviewed the proposed Interim Use Permit request with the Commission. Commissioner Koehler recommended the date be changed to November 1, 2014 because the site needs to be restored and vegetated which may be hard to do in the winter months. Mr. Angell indicated the date can be changed.

Commissioner Koehler asked if there was any other condition as to who would be cleaning up the streets after the trucks went down the road, was this the City's responsibility. Mr. Carlberg indicated that would be the hauler of the dirt. Commissioner Nemeth asked if they do not comply, would the $2,000 deposit pay to clean the street. Mr. Carlberg stated that deposit is also for any street repairs needed if damaged. Motion by Koehler, seconded by Nemeth, to recommend to the City Council approval of the Interim Use Permit — Land Reclamation to add fill /material to the NE side of the property at 16404 Inca Street NW with the following conditions in the resolution changing the completion date from December 1, 2014 to November 1, 2014.

Consider Amendments to the City Code 9 -8 -2, Definition of Rental Dwelling, I1 -3 -4, Easements, 12 -8 -2, Land Reclamation; 12 -8 -3, Mining and 12 -8 -4, Soil Processing, 12 -16, Adding Requirements for Specific Interim Use Permits. Community Development Director Carlberg noted the purpose of this item is to hold a public hearing and take input on amendments to the City Code 9 -8 -2, Definition of Rental Dwelling; 11 -3 -4, Easements; 12 -8 -2, Land Reclamation; 12 -8 -3, Mining and 12- 8-4, Soil Processing; 12 -16, adding Requirements for Specific Interim Use Permits. Community Development Director Carlberg reviewed the proposed City Code Amendments with the Commission. City Code 9 -8 -2, Definition of Rental Dwelling Commissioner Nemeth asked what does the City go in and check that would differentiate them from other agencies. Mr. Carlberg stated their inspections are Building Code related but they have a history of going through the Farmstead Development for several years and have not found anything because other agencies such as the State and County inspect some of the same things. It is proving that they are not gaining any additional public safety or addressing any concern the City has. City Codes 11 -3 -4, Easements; 12 -8 -2, Land Reclamation; 12 -8 -3, Mining and 12 -8 -4, Soil Processing; 12 -16, Adding Requirements for Specific Interim Use Permits. There were no further questions on the amendments by the Commission.

Commissioner Koehler asked if all the amendments were going to be approved together or one at a time because he had some concerns that were shared by Commissioner Nemeth. Commissioner Nemeth stated his concerns are that he knows the Health Department goes through along with Anoka County but he felt there was a reason why this is here so ensuring that there is another set of eyes is not a bad thing to make sure everything is ok within the dwelling. H Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — May 27, 2014 Page 14 Commissioner Koehler stated his concern is the same but for different reasons. He wondered why this one was chosen and not something else within the City that they do not want to continue to inspect. If they are going to stop inspecting something there needs to be a good reason for it. Mr. Carlberg stated when the rental regulations were put into place it was to address the blighted areas in the City that they wanted to focus on and make better and that is why the definition was written. Since then new senior housing projects have been built and they are not finding significant code issues that other agencies would not be able to find. He wondered if it was proper to charge an entity for a service that they are not getting anything for just to be licensed. Commissioner Koehler wondered what recourse the City would have if issues were brought to the City. Mr. Carlberg stated if code violations are found the City has the ability to go into the structure and look at it and enforce the Code. Motion by Koehler, seconded by Peterson, to recommend to the City Council approval of the amendments to City Code 9 -8 -2, Definition of Rental Dwelling; 11 -3 -4, Easements; 12 -8 -2, Land Reclamation; 12 -8 -3, Mining and 12 -8 -4, Soil Processing; 12 -16, adding Requirements for Specific Interim Use Permits. Motion carried on a 4 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- present, 3- absent (Cleven, Daninger, Gudmundson) vote. Community Development Director Carlberg stated that this item would be before the Council at the June 3, 2014 City Council meeting. OTHER BUSINESS.
