Hanson, City Planner SUBJECT: Approval of Minutes — August 13, 2013 DATE: September 10, 2013 REQUEST The Planning and Zoning Commission is requested to approve the minutes from the August 13, 2013 regular meeting. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING — A UGUST 13, 2013 The Regular Bi- Monthly Meeting of the Andover Planning and Zoning Commission was called to order by Chairperson Daninger on August 13, 2013, 7:00 p.m., at the Andover City Hall, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW, Andover, Minnesota. Commissioners present: Chairperson Daninger, Commissioners Timothy Cleven, Lynae Gudmundson, Valerie Holthus, Bert Koehler IV, and Kyle Nemeth. Commissioners absent: Commissioner Steve Peterson Also present: Community Development Director Dave Carlberg City Planner Stephanie Hanson Associate Planner Andrew Liska Others APPROVAL OF MINUTES. July 9, 2013 Commissioner Nemeth stated on page three, seventh paragraph, the sentence should read: two exits, not two exist . Page five, sixth paragraph, middle sentence, "Mr. Haas indicated there are a few sidewalks in different neighborhoods ". Page six, fifth paragraph, "A round -about at Prairie Road and Andover Boulevard as recommended by the County Highway Department." Motion by Nemeth, seconded by Koehler, to approve the minutes as corrected above. Motion carried on a 4 -ayes, 0 -nays, 2- present ( Gudmundson, Holthus), 1- absent (Peterson) vote. PUBLIC HEARING: Conditional Use Permit Amendment —16045 Nightingale Street NW — Request to extend the approval of subordinate classrooms —Andover Christian Church. e Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — August 13, 2013 Page 2 Associate Planner Liska noted the purpose of this item is to hold a public hearing and take input on a Conditional Use Permit Amendment to extend the approval of subordinate classrooms. Associate Planner Liska reviewed the proposed Conditional Use Permit Amendment with the Commission. Motion by Holthus, seconded by Gudmundson, to open the public hearing at 7:06 p.m. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- present, 1- absent (Peterson) vote. Mr. Jim Connor, Senior Pastor, Andover Christian Church, was at the meeting to answer questions. He noted that Dave Miller and Scott Nordquist were also at the meeting. Commissioner Nemeth stated the structure has been in place for the last fifteen years and City Code states that the applicant will provide a long -term plan for its removal. In the letter from the applicant, it states they are trying to raise funds to build a permanent structure but he would like to find out what the long -term solution would be. Mr. Connor stated their first priority financially has been paying off the balance of the purchase of the church. For a construction project, they need to have that debt paid off. He stated the building is a youth center and a high priority for them. They would like to have a larger multi -use room with a commercial kitchen for the youth. They do not have a definite plan yet. He stated he was hesitant to set a date and did not see this as a long -term solution. Commissioner Nemeth wondered if the Church had a time frame for removal. Mr. Connor stated he was not sure. Chairperson Daninger stated the goal is to remove it after five years but they could come in for an extension of time. Mr. Connor stated it is not just about their financial situation as a congregation, it is also the economy and so many unknowns for him so he is hesitant to make a firm commitment on time. Commissioner Nemeth wanted to make sure the inside is being kept up like the outside. Mr. Connor indicated it was. Commissioner Cleven asked if a fund has been set aside. Mr. Connor stated any excess funds they have are put to paying off the church loan rather than putting it towards a building fund because they know that the building of a new structure is the next step. He stated a couple of the trustees met with a contractor and were working off preliminary plans Family of Christ previously worked up and that gave them a ballpark per square foot cost. He stated they need to look at the plans to see what would work for the current congregation. Motion by Koehler, seconded by Nemeth, to close the public hearing at 7:15 p.m. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- present, 1- absent (Peterson) vote. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —August 13, 2013 Page 3 Commissioner Nemeth noted it states in the Code that upon sale or transfer of ownership of the property the conditional use permit shall be brought up for renewal and he wondered if this was renewed when the church was purchased. Chairperson Daninger indicated that was correct. Commissioner Holthus asked how often the structures are inspected by the City. Community Development Director Carlberg indicated the Fire Department has a schedule where they inspect the structures every couple of years. He was not sure when the last time this was done. Commissioner Cleven stated the structures have anchors to tie them down and he wondered if they were looked at by the inspector at that time. Community Development Director Carlberg stated the Fire Department would not look at any structural anchoring. Commissioner Cleven asked if the City periodically inspects the structures. Community Development Director Carlberg indicated they do not have a scheduled program to look at all structures but if there is a concern brought to the City's attention, they will go out and look at them. Motion by Holthus, seconded by Gudmundson, to recommend to the City Council approval of the Conditional Use Permit Amendment to extend the approval of subordinate classrooms. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- present, 1- absent (Peterson) vote. Associate Planner Liska stated that this item would be before the Council at the August 20, 2013 City Council meeting. PUBLIC HEARING: Conditional Use Permit — 1640155`' Lane NW— Request for a single station beauty salon within the existing building serving Arbor Oaks assisted living tenants along with clients from the general public —Arbor Oaks Development Associate Planner Liska noted the purpose of this item is to hold a public hearing and take input on a Conditional Use Permit for a single station beauty salon with the existing building serving Arbor Oaks Assisted Living tenants along with clients from the general public. Associate Planner Liska reviewed the proposed Conditional Use Permit with the Commission. Commissioner Nemeth asked if there is any requirement regarding adequate ventilation of the stature of this type of business. Community Development Director Carlberg stated the City did a final inspection with the issuance of the certificate of occupancy and there is adequate ventilation. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — August 13, 2013 Page 4 Commissioner Cleven stated during the construction was the salon anticipated at that time. Community Development Director Carlberg indicated it was but the CUP was triggered by opening the salon up to outside customers. Chairperson Daninger asked if a beauty salon was opened up outside of an assisted living facility what requirements would they have to meet. Mr. Liska indicated it depends on the zoning district. Chairperson Daninger stated the resolution is based on the in -home beauty salon wording. Mr. Liska stated that was correct. Motion by Holthus, seconded by Gudmundson, to open the public hearing at 7:26 p.m. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- present, 1- absent (Peterson) vote. Mr. Roger Fink, Trident Development, representing Arbor Oaks Senior Living, joined by Cassie Callahan, Executive Director of Arbor Oaks and Colleen Richmond, beauty salon operator. Mr. Fink stated construction is not complete but they have received their certificate of occupancy in July with over 20 residents confirmed and reserved for units there. The CUP would help them to accomplish a few things; one, it allows Ms. Richmond to demonstrate to the Department of Health that this use is an approved use within that Zoning District and it would also allow her to see the occasional client that would not be a resident of Arbor Oaks. He wanted to make sure that they fully disclose their operation and are in complete compliance with City Code. Commissioner Holthus asked if the days and hours are expected to be extended. Mr. Fink stated they are currently operating a couple of days a week on appointments only. There are only ten to twelve residents now so there is not a huge demand but as the residents increase, the demand may also increase so they may need to increase their operating hours. Commissioner Koehler asked how many other facilities with beauty salons they run. Mr. Fink stated between Tealwood Management and Trident Development, he thought they operated over twenty assisted living facilities and another twenty nursing homes. Trident Development currently runs eight by themselves. Motion by Holthus, seconded by Nemeth, to close the public hearing at 7:32 p.m. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- present, 1- absent (Peterson) vote. Motion by Holthus, seconded by Nemeth, to recommend to the City Council approval of a Conditional Use Permit for a single station beauty salon. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0- nays, 0- present, 1- absent (Peterson) vote. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —August 13, 2013 Page 5 Associate Planner Liska stated that this item would be before the Council at the August 20, 2013 City Council meeting. PUBLIC HEARING: Variance —15511 Juniper Street NW— Request to reduce the side yard setback from ten (10) feet to eight (8) feet for an existing structure and to allow the construction of an addition — Benjamin Rono City Planner Hanson noted the purpose of this item is to hold a public hearing and take input on a variance request to reduce the side yard setback from ten feet to eight feet for an existing structure and to allow the construction of an addition. City Planner Hanson reviewed the proposed variance with the Commission. Commissioner Gudmundson asked if there were specific plans on what the addition would look like. City Planner Hanson indicated they did not have plans currently but the addition will have to match the existing house. Motion by Holthus, seconded by Gudmundson, to open the public hearing at 7:37 p.m. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- present, 1- absent (Peterson) vote. Mr. Ben Rono, 15511 Juniper Street NW, stated the proposed addition would have a gable running west, coming out 14 feet and about 24 feet wide. He stated the front door would change from a south facing to a west facing entrance, giving them a larger entry way and living room. Commissioner Holthus asked if there were plans to put any brick or stone on the front. Mr. Rono stated the house is vinyl siding but the detached garage is fiber cement. He wants to change his house to fiber cement to match his garage with aluminum soffits and fascia and they would like to put a small wainscot of stone across the front to enhance the curbside appearance. Chairperson Daninger asked if there will be a contractor or would this be done by Mr. Rono. Mr. Rono stated there will be a contractor and they would like to have this done by the end of the year. Commissioner Holthus asked if there will be a basement under the addition. Mr. Rono indicated it would be slab on grade. Motion by Gudmundson, seconded by Cleven, to close the public hearing at 7:40 p.m. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- present, 1- absent (Peterson) vote. Commissioner Gudmundson asked if the Planning Commission will review the plans if this is approved. City Planner Hanson indicated the Planning Commission would not, if approved this would go directly to the Building Department for review and approval. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —August 13, 2013 Page 6 Commissioner Gudmundson stated if they need to meet all of the requirements, it may be hard to meet item 3, which talks about the essential character of the locale and the look of it. Ms. Hanson indicated there are building criteria in the code that need to be met. Community Development Director Carlberg stated the discussion has been good to find out what the structure looks like but what the Commission needs to evaluate is if it is acceptable to give a two -foot variance based on the location of the structure and setbacks. Chairperson Daninger indicated he did not have a problem with this. Commissioner Holthus thought this met the criteria to grant a hardship. Motion by Holthus, seconded by Nemeth, to recommend to the City Council approval of a variance at 15511 Juniper Street NW, requesting to reduce the side yard setback from ten (10) feet to eight (8) feet for an existing structure and to allow the construction of an addition. Commissioner Koehler stated there is a sunset clause on this variance so everything needs to be completed within one year. Commissioner Cleven stated he was interested in the layout of the two buildings and he wondered if there is enough space between the homes if an emergency vehicle needs to get through. City Planner Hanson indicated there would be enough space for emergency vehicles to get through if needed. Community Development Director Carlberg noted the yard would not support a fire truck. If a fire occurred it would be handled from the road. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- present, 1- absent (Peterson) vote. City Planner Hanson stated that this item would be before the Council at the August 20, 2013 City Council meeting. PUBLIC HEARING: Variance —15873 Linnet Street NW— Request to allow a lot split more than one time in any three (3) year period as regulated in Andover City Corte Title 13, Chapter 1, Section 3 — Scott Allen. City Planner Hanson noted the purpose of this item is to hold a public hearing and take input on a variance request to allow a lot split more than one time in a three -year period as regulated in Andover City Code Title 13, Chapter 1, Section 3. City Planner Hanson reviewed the proposed variance with the Commission. Chairperson Daninger explained what the Commission needed to review. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —A ugust 13, 2013 Page 7 Commissioner Gudmundson asked if the City Council is working on an amendment for this, why wouldn't the City wait until it is done and then Mr. Allen could come forward. Commissioner Nemeth thought this might have to do with timing also. Commissioner Koehler indicated he is friends with Mr. Allen so he will participate in discussion but abstain from voting on this item. Commissioner Holthus asked for clarification on the amendment the City Council is working on and what that involves. Community Development Director Carlberg stated the Council has not had it before them at this point but at the January City Council work session, there was discussion to work on changing the code. He noted staff is working on information to bring back to the Council. Staff is currently working on the land use table but the Council wants to provide some exceptions to the three -year rule. He thought Mr. Nemeth stated it correctly, that it is a timing issue. Chairperson Daninger stated this item is talking about the variance to the timing of the lot split and Mr. Allen will come forth with more detail when he applies for the lot split if the variance is granted. Commissioner Gudmundson asked staff what the initial thought process was behind the three -year split rule. Community Development Director Carlberg stated this came about because the City did not want to see the developers or landowners circumvent the platting process and just carving up pieces of property. He noted the Council has been pretty strict over the years in making people do three lot subdivisions but some of the circumstances have changed and this is a homeowner surrounded by urban development and streets and utilities are there. The Council thought it was time to make some changes or set some exceptions to that rule, but still direct people through the platting process rather than the lot split process. Chairperson Daninger asked whether the Commission is looking to discuss this or make a recommendation. He asked what they need in order to deny or approve this. City Planner Hanson stated the approval was to allow Mr. Allen to split more than one time in any three -year period. Community Development Director Carlberg stated the City believes Mr. Allen meets those criteria, as far as the utilities and streets. If the variance is granted, there will be a lot split application filed concurrently with a rezoning application, the Planning Commission will look at all those conditions in order to approve the split. Commissioner Holthus asked if the amendment was accomplished and in the Code how would things be different. Community Development Director Carlberg explained how the amendment will work once approved. He stated the Planning Commission can still took at all the same things they would look at with a plat, and can make conditions of approval with the lot split. If the amendment was in place Mr. Allen would not have to apply for a variance and would go directly to the lot split application. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — August 13, 2013 Page 8 Commissioner Gudmundson asked why they do not review both the variance request and the lot split together. Community Development Director Carlberg stated that Mr. Allen wanted to get the approval before he spends money to move forward with the lot split application. Also, Mr. Allen needs the variance approved to apply for the lot split. Commissioner Koehler stated if they are looking at this because the amendment is not out yet and they want to be able to move ahead. He asked, whether the amendment comes out or not, isn't this setting a precedent. Community Development Director Carlberg stated if the Planning Commission recommends approval for this and the Council grants approval on August 20`h, other applicants could come in prior to the amendment being put in place but they would have to use the same discussions and criteria with that variance request. He expected they will have that amendment in place prior to any additional applications but they could not deny the right of an applicant to apply if they do not have it in place. Commissioner Koehler stated if the Council moves forward with approval, people can come back to the Planning Commission over and over looking for a variance outside of what the amendment is. Community Development Director Carlberg stated the new amendment would resolve this situation and create the procedure to apply for a lot split within those criteria providing the exception. The only time the Planning Commission would have another variance to this is if staff cannot get the new language in place and someone wants a variance to the three -year provision. He did not expect that to happen. Motion by Holthus, seconded by Koehler, to open the public hearing at 8:06 p.m. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- present, i- absent (Peterson) vote. There was no public input. Motion by Holthus, seconded by Koehler, to close the public hearing at 8:07 p.m. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- present, 1- absent (Peterson) vote. Motion by Holthus, seconded by Gudmundson, to recommend to the City Council approval of variance request to allow a lot split more than one time in any three (3) year period as regulated in Andover City Code Title 13, Chapter 1, Section 3. Motion carried on a 5 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- present (Koehler), 1- absent (Peterson) vote. City Planner Hanson stated that this item would be before the Council at the August 20, 2013 City Council meeting. 0 THER BUSINESS. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —August 13, 2013 Page 9 Community Development Director Carlberg noted Commissioner Peterson asked staff to give more detailed information on items previously reviewed by the Planning Commission that the Council reviewed, changed, and approved. Community Development Director Carlberg updated the Planning Commission on related items. Commissioner Nemeth thanked staff for lighting up the Andover sign off Round Lake Boulevard. He thought it looked nice. Chairperson Daninger asked when Nightingale Street will be done. Mr. Carlberg stated it is scheduled to be passable by the opening of school. Completion will likely be this fall or early next spring. Commissioner Gudmundson asked what is going into the restaurant pad across from Walmart. Mr. Carlberg indicated he cannot say at this time because the company wants to make an announcement themselves. Commissioner Gudmundson asked if Walmart has generated any new business in the area. Mr. Carlberg stated it has. ADJOURNMENT. Motion by Koehler, seconded by Nemeth, to adjourn the meeting at 8:17 p.m. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 0- present, 1- absent (Peterson) vote.

Hanson, City Planne��+'+' SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING: Residential Sketch Plan for a plat known as Country Oaks North located north of 161 st Avenue NW and Wintergreen Street NW DATE: September 10, 2013 INTRODUCTION The Planning Commission is asked to review a residential sketch plan for a single family urban residential development known as Country Oaks North requested by Mr. Scott Wold. DISCUSSION The sketch plan is intended to illustrate how the entire area can be developed. It is important to note that not all of the property owners in this area are interested in development at this time. Background The applicant submitted a sketch plan on August 13, 2013 for review. The Andover Review Committee (ARC) reviewed the sketch plan and submitted comments to the applicant. These comments have been attached for your review. Staff suggests the comments be reviewed as part of the sketch plan process. The applicant and staff met to discuss the comments. The applicant responded to at least some of the comments by resubmitting the attached sketch plan with changes associated to the staff comments. Public Works and Engineering staff are currently reviewing the updated sketch plan. Conformance with Local and Regional Plans and Ordinances I . The property is not located within the 2020 Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) Boundary or within the current stage of sewer expansion. The city Engineering Department completed an evaluation of the city's sewer capacity and determined there is enough capacity for an additional 155 units to hook up to the municipal sanitary sewer system. City Council has shown support to expand the sewer area. This will require a Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) that will need to be approved by the Metropolitan Council and the City Council for the project to move forward. 2. The property is zoned Single Family Rural Residential (R -1). A rezoning to Single Family Urban Residential (R -4) will be necessary to allow the project to move forward. Access Access would be provided from Wintergreen Street NW via 161 st Avenue NW /County Road 20. The City of Andover Transportation Plan (adopted in May 2009) depicts Wintergreen Street as a Municipal State Aid (MSA) designation and proposes a future connection to Hanson Boulevard and Ward Lake Drive. The Transportation Plan map has been attached for your review. MSA routes require a Sixty -six (66) foot right -of -way as shown on the sketch plan. The Anoka County Highway Department is in the process of reviewing the sketch plan; therefore staff has not received a written review letter from county staff. Utilities Trunk sewer and water lines are located south of the land within the Country Oaks West development. Since this parcel is located outside the 2020 MUSA boundary, a CPA will need to be approved prior to the extension of utilities. Lots The proposed sketch plan shows 65 -lots. The parcels directly to the north and west have been ghost platted to show how the development may connect to future developments. Lots will need to meet the minimum requirements of the R -4 Zoning District. This includes: 1. Lot size requirements are 11,400 square foot. When the preliminary plat is submitted all of the proposed and sketched lots will be required to meet the R -4 requirements. However, double frontage lots must have additional depth for screen planting along the rear lot line of 10 feet. 2. Lots must be 80 feet wide at the front yard setback. Corner lots must be at least 90 feet wide at the front setback line. The preliminary plat will need to include the front setback line for each parcel. 3. Corner lots must be a minimum of 100 feet wide as measured at the building setback line or 90 feet wide for back to back lots. Floodplain and Wetlands There is a minimal amount of wetlands and floodplain as part of this plat. Wetlands will be required to be delineated and the report will need to be submitted as part of the preliminary plat process. A map has been attached that shows the existing wetlands and floodplain. Coon Creek Watershed District (CCWD) Once the overall layout of the sketch has been agreed upon, the developers will prepare a grading plan, hydrology calculations and a soils report that will be reviewed by the City, an engineering consultant and the CCWD. The CCWD will need to have reviewed the preliminary plat and the developer will need to address any issues that are raised during that review before a public hearing will be scheduled for the preliminary plat. Trail System It should be noted that a trail exists on the east side of Evergreen Street. The trail will be extended to the north as part of the development. Park and Recreation Commission The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the sketch plan at their September 5th meeting. Staff will provide an update of the Commission's review at the meeting. 2 Coordination with other Agencies The developer and/or owner are responsible to obtain all necessary permits (Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, Coon Creek Watershed District, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, LGU and any other agency that may have an interest in the site). Initial contact shall be made with the City Engineering Department regarding this item. ACTION REQUESTED The Planning Commission is asked to hold a public hearing, take public feedback on the proposed sketch, and informally advise the applicant on adjustments to the proposed project to conform to local ordinances and review criteria.

Haas, Assistant Public Works Director /Parks Coordinator. -OK DATE: August 27, 2013 REFERENCE: Country Oaks North — Sketch Plan Review #1 The following items are in regards to Review #1 of the Sketch Plan 1. A wetland delineation will be required which must be approved by the Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization ( LRRWMO). There is no indication on the sketch plan that the LRRWMO has approved the wetland boundaries. 2. The developer is responsible to obtain the necessary permits from the LRRWMO, DNR, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, MPCA or any other agency that is interested in the site. 3. Need to meet the requirements of the City of Andover Water Resource Management Plan. Based on the timing of the storm water design for the development, the Developer's Engineer must incorporate new Atlas 14 rainfall events at part of the design. 4. Need to identify the designated Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) floodplain boundaries on the sketch plan. The current designated FEMA elevations will need to be adjusted to reflect the new Atlas 14 rainfall events. This may result in revising the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) maps to reflect the new 100 year flood elevations. 5. A buffer strip will be required for wetlands and storm water areas. Some of the lots in the development may be impacted by the floodplain areas, wetlands and /or buffer strip areas. The developer's surveyor /engineer will need to evaluate this closer to see if lots can be made buildable due to these impacts. 6. Need to submit a tree protection plan with the submittal of the preliminary plat. 7. A copy of the sketch plan should be forwarded to the Anoka County Highway Department for their review even though the property is not adjacent to a County road. 8. A 20 foot radius corner is required for the intersection right -of -ways within the sketch plan where a city street intersects with another city street, 9. All streets are required to be public. The Right of Way width for both Wintergreen Street NW and 166th Avenue NW are to be 66 feet. 10. Wintergreen Street NW is designated as a Municipal State Aid Street. Minor collectors under 2500 Average Daily Traffic (ADT) allow driveways to front directly onto this section of street (Wintergreen Street NW). In addition, that sketch plan is to accommodate an east -west street (generally along 166th Avenue NW alignment) as a Municipal State Aid Street that is identified on the Andover Transportation Plan and on the Municipal State Aid map. It will be necessary to discuss this further with the Engineering Department. See sketch plan as to a recommended street location for 166th Avenue NW. 11. Need to indicate the existing right -of -way width and all existing drainage and utility easements within and adjacent to the site to allow for a proper review of the sketch plan. '12.Are there any existing easements (private or public) that need to be vacated? If there are, they should be clearly indicated on the sketch plan so that it can be determined if the easement needs to be vacated. 11As part of the preliminary plat, drainage and utility easements will need to be provided to allow utilities to be looped as required in various portions of the development. This will be determined as part of the preliminary plat submittal. 14. Drainage and utility easements will be required for all ponding areas. This will be evaluated as part of the preliminary plat submittal. 15. A preliminary sanitary sewer and water main layout will be reviewed later as part of the preliminary plat submittal. 16. An existing bikeway /walkway trail from the Country Oaks West development along Wintergreen Street NW will need to be extended into this development. In addition, a trail may be required constructed along the east -west route of 166th Avenue NW. Need to discuss this further with the engineering staff. 17. Need to show an access point on the west side of the northerly 40 acre parcel to access the parcel to the west. Connecting this with the proposed cul de sac on the westerly 40 acre parcel would be ideal. 18. Eliminate any center medians shown (there are two depicted). These have proven to be a long term maintenance problem for the City. 19. Park & Recreation Commission will need to review and determine if the park is proposed is necessary or a cash dedication will be recommended in lieu of land. if the Park Commission like the idea of the proposed park, a combination of land and cash will be required. Note: The Engineering/Public Works Department would prefer that there is no small neighborhood park in this vicinity as there is already one to the south of this plat that could serve these residents. 20. Make sure there is a lot line /easement shown the preliminary plat on the southeast comer of the property to accommodate the water main loop that will be connected from the southwest. 21. The proposed sketch plan includes 174 lots, however, there is only sewer and water capacity available for 155 lots north of County Oaks West. The sketch plans shall be revised accordingly to show no more than 155 potential sewered lots. There is the potential for additional rural lots over and above the 155 sewered lots. 22. Need to meet requirements of all City Codes that apply specifically City Code Section 11. 23. When beginning the platting process the plat, the grading plan and all other plans must utilize the Anoka County coordinate system and datum so the information can be transferred to the City's GIS mapping. 24. When the final plat is approved and recorded, the developer must submit a digital copy of the plan. 25. See additional comments on the plan. 26.Additional comments pending further review. Note: It is a requirement that the Developer respond to each of these items in writing when re- submitting the revised sketch plan to the City. If you have any questions, feel free to contact David Berkowitz, Director of Public Works /City Engineer at (763)767 -5133, Jason Law, Assistant City Engineer or Todd Haas at (763) 755 -5100.

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 -6. 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 infonnation is contained in the Tax Increment Financing Plans for the Tax Increment Financing Districts located within Development District No. 1. Andover Economic Development Authority 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 -6 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 -6 (the "District "), an economic development 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 ( "MS.'j, Sections 469.090 to 469.1082, inclusive, as amended, and M.S., Sections 469.174 to 469.1794, 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 roadways and internal rights -of -way. The District is being created to facilitate the construction of a 25,000 s.f. light manufacturing center in the City. Please see Appendix A for further District information. The EDA has not entered into an agreement, at the time of preparation of this TIF Plan, but intends to with Measurement Specialties so development can commence in 2013. 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 orprovide for some or all necessary acquisition, construction, relocation, demolition, and required utilities and public street work within the District. Andover Economic Development Authority Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 -6 2 -1 5. The City proposes both public and private infrastructure within the District. The proposed reuse of private property within the District will be for a manufacturing facility, and there will be continued operation of Development District No. 1 after the capital improvements within Development District No. 1 have been completed. 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. The EDA currently owns the property to be included in 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 an economic development district pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 12 as defined below: "Economic development district" means a type of tax increment financing district which consists of any project, or portions of a project, which the authority finds to be in the public interest because: (1) it will discourage commerce, industry, or manufacturing from moving their operations to another state or municipality; or (2) it will result in increased employment in the state; or (3) it will result in preservation and enhancement of the tax base of the state. The District is in the public interest because it will meet the statutory requirement from clause 2 and 3. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 4c, revenue derived from tax increment from an economic development district may not be used to provide improvements, loans, subsidies, grants, interest rate subsidies, or assistance in any form to developments consisting of buildings and ancillary facilities, if more than 15 percent of the buildings and facilities (determined on the basis of square footage) are used for a purpose other than: (1) The manufacturing or production of tangible personal property, including processing resulting in the change in condition of the property; (2) Warehousing, storage, and distribution of tangible personal property, excluding retail sales; (3) Research and development related to the activities listed in items (1) or (2); (4) Telemarketing if that activity is the exclusive use of the property; or (5) Tourism facilities; (6) Space necessary for and related to the activities listed in items (1) to (5) In meeting the statutory criteria the EDA and City rely on the following facts and findings: The facilities in the District meet the conditions of Purposes 1, 2, and 6. The District is being created to assist in the construction of a manufacturing facility for Measurement Specialties. The proposed facility will be used for manufacturing industrial temperature sensors and related activities. Andover Economic Development Authority Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 -6 2 -2 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 M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 1, the duration of the District must be indicated within the TIF Plan. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 1b., the duration of the District will be 8 years after receipt of the first increment by the EDA or City. The date of receipt by the City of the first tax increment is expected to be 2016. Thus, it is estimated that the District, including any modifications of the TIF Plan for subsequent phases or other changes, would terminate after 2024, 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 2013 for taxes payable 2014. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subds. 1 and 2, the County Auditor shall certify in each year (beginning in the payment year 2016) the amount by which the original value has increased or decreased as a result of: I . 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 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 ONTO, 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 2014, assuming the request for certification is made before June 30, 2014. The ONTO 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 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 2016. The Project Tax Capacity (PTC) listed is an estimate of values when the projects within the District are completed. Andover Economic Development Authority Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 -6 2 -3 Project Estimated Tax Capacity upon Completion (PTC) $77,123 Original Estimated Net Tax Capacity (ONTC) $21,998 Fiscal Disparities Reduction $22,345 Estimated Captured Tax Capacity (CTC) $32,780 Original Local Tax Rate 1.15854 Pay 2013 Estimated Annual Tax Increment (CTC x Local Tax Rate) $37,977 Percent Retained by the EDA 100% Tax capacity includes a 5% 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 9. The tax capacity of the District in year one is estimated to be $52,200. 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 permits 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. 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 project within the District will be financed by an interfund loan and pay -as- you-go note to repay the EDA for the cost of writing the land down. 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 determination that such action is in the best interest of the City. The total estimated tax increment revenues for the District are shown in the table below: SOURCES OF FUNDS TOTAL Tax Increment $259,204 Interest $25,920 TOTAL $285,124 Andover Economic Development Authority Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-6 2.4 The EDA or City may issue bonds (as defined in the TIF Act) secured in whole or in part with tax increments from the District in a maximum principal amount of $216,281. 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 a 25,000 s.f. light manufacturing center in the City. The EDA and City have determined that it will be necessary to provide assistance to the project in the form of a land write down. The EDA has studied the feasibility of the development of property in and around the District. To facilitate the establishment and development 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 $110,000 Site Improvements/Preparation $40,000 Utilities $25,000 Other Qualifying Improvements $15,361 Administrative Costs (uo to 10 %) $25,92 0 PROJECT COST TOTAL $216,281 Interest JU 843 PROJECT AND INTEREST COSTS TOTAL $285,124 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 Subsection 2 -9. Estimated capital and administrative costs listed above are subject to change among categories by modification of the TIF Plan without hearings and notices as required for approval of the initial TIF Plan, so long as the total capital and administrative costs combined do not exceed the total listed above. Further, the EDA or City may spend up to 20 percent of the tax increments from the District for activities (described in the table above) located outside the boundaries of the District but within the boundaries of the Project (including administrative costs, which are considered to be spend outside the District), subject to all other terms and conditions of this TIF Plan. Subsection 2 -11. Fiscal Disparities Election Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 3, clause b, the EDA or City must calculate fiscal disparities using the following method of computation: (b) The following method ofcomputation applies to any economic development distrietfor which the request for certification was made after June 30, 1997, and to any other district for which the governing body, by resolution approving the tax incrementfinancingplan pursuant toM .S.,Section Andover Economic Development Authority Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 -6 2 -5 469.177, Subd. 3, elects: (1) The original net tar capacity shall be determined before the application of the fiscal disparity provisions of Chapter 2764 or 473F. The current net tax capacity shall exclude any fiscal disparity commercial- industrial net tax capacity increase between the original year and the current year multiplied by the fiscal disparity ratio determined pursuant to MS., Section 276A.06, subdivision 7 or MS., Section 473F.08, subdivision 6 Where the original net tax capacity is equal to or greater than the current net tax capacity, there is no captured tax capacity and no tax increment determination. Where the original tax capacity is less than the current 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 thereof which the authority has designated, in its tax increment financingplan, to share with the local taxing districts is the retained captured net tax capacity of the authority. (2) The county auditorshall exclude the retained captured net tax capacity ofthe authorityfrom the net tax capacity ofthe 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 ofthe authority as well as the net tax capacity ofthe local taxing districts. The tax generated by the extension of the less 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. Subsection 2 -12. Business Subsidies Pursuant to M.S., Section 116J.993, 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 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; Andover Economic Development Authority Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 -6 2 -6 (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 M.S., 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. la, 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 contemplated 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 Economic Development Authority Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 -6 2 -7 IMPACT ON TAX BASE The estimates listed above display the captured tax capacity when all construction is completed. The tax rate used for calculations is the actual Pay 2013 rate. The total net capacity for the entities listed above are based on actual Pay 2013 figures. The District will be certified under the actual Pay 2014 rates. 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 $259,204; (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 currently contracts with the Anoka County Sheriff's Office for police services. The Anoka County Sheriffs Office 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 expand its contract with Anoka County. The probable impact of the District on fire protection is not expected to be significant. Typically new industrial facilities generate few calls, if any, and are of superior construction and are sprinklered. 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, storm 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. However, lighting operating costs are yet to be determined. The development in the District is expected to contribute an estimated Andover Economic Development Authority Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 -6 2 -8 Pay 2013 Estimated Captured Total Net Tax Capacity (CTC) Percent of CTC Tax Capacity Upon Completion to Entity Total Anoka County 218,432,132 37,977 0.0174% City of Andover 21,155,263 37,977 0.1795% ISD No. 11 111,171,454 37,977 0.0342% IMPACT ON TAX RATES Pay 2013 Percent Potential Extension Rates of Total CTC Taxes Anoka County 0.444110 38.33% 37,977 16,866 City of Andover 0.407220 35.15% 37,977 15,465 ISD No. 11 0.268010 23.13% 37,977 10,178 Other 0.039200 3.38% 37,977 1,489 Total 1.158540 100.00% 43,998 The estimates listed above display the captured tax capacity when all construction is completed.

It is estimated that the total amount of tax increment that will be generated over the life of the District is $259,204; (2) Probable impact of the District on city provided services and ability to issue debt.

However, lighting operating costs are yet to be determined. The development in the District is expected to contribute an estimated Andover Economic Development Authority Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 -6 2 -8 $43,462 in sanitary sewer (SAC) and water (WAC) connection fees. 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 $59,954; (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 $99,353; (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 determination set forth in M.S. Section 469.175, Subd. 3, clause (b)(2) and the findings are required in the resolution approving the District. Following is a list of reports and studies on file at the City that support the FDA and City's findings: • A list of applicable studies will be listed here prior to the public hearing. Subsection 2 -16. Definition of Tax Increment Revenues Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 25, tax increment revenues derived from a tax increment financing district include all of the following potential revenue sources: 1. Taxes paid by the captured net tax capacity, but excluding any excess taxes, as computed underM.S, Section 469.177; 2. The proceeds from the sale or lease of property, tangible or intangible, to the extent the property was purchased by the Authority with tax increments; 3. Principal and interest received on loans or other advances made by the Authority with tax increments; 4. Interest or other investment earnings on or from tax increments; 5. Repayments or return of tax increments made to the Authority under agreements for districts for which the request for certification was made after August 1, 1993; and 6. The market value homestead credit paid to the Authority under-M.S., Section 273.1384. Andover Economic Development Authority Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 -6 2 -9 Subsection 2 -17. Modifications to the District In accordance with M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 4, any: 1. Reduction or enlargement of the geographic area of the District, if the reduction does not meet the requirements of M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 4(e); 2. Increase in amount of bonded indebtedness to be incurred; 3. A determination to capitalize interest on debt if that determination was not a part of the original TIF Plan; 4. Increase in the portion of the captured net tax capacity to be retained by the EDA or City; 5. Increase in the estimate of the cost of the District, including administrative expenses, that will be paid or financed with tax increment from the District; or 6. Designation of additional property to be acquired by the EDA or City, shall be approved upon the notice and after the discussion, public hearing and findings required for approval of the original TIF Plan. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175 Subd. 469, the geographic area of the District may be reduced, but shall not be enlarged after five years following the date of certification of the original net tax capacity by the county auditor. If an economic development district is enlarged, the reasons and supporting facts for the determination that the addition to the district meets the criteria of MS., Section 469.174, Subd. 12 must be documented in writing and retained. The requirements of this paragraph do not apply if (1) the only modification is elimination of parcel(s) from the District and (2) (A) the current net tax capacity of the parcel(s) eliminated from the District equals or exceeds the net tax capacity of those parcel(s) in the District's original net tax capacity or (B) the EDA agrees that, notwithstanding M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 1, the original net tax capacity will be reduced by no more than the current net tax capacity of the parcel(s) eliminated from the District. The EDA or City must notify the County Auditor of any modification to the District. Modifications to the District in the form of a budget modification or an expansion of the boundaries will be recorded in the TIF Plan. Subsection 2 -18. Administrative Expenses In accordance with M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 14, administrative expenses means all expenditures of the EDA or City, other than: 1. Amounts paid for the purchase of land; 2.

For districts for which certification was requested after July 31, 2001, no tax increment may be used to pay any administrative expenses for District costs which exceed ten percent of total estimated tax increment expenditures authorized by the TIF Plan or the total tax increments, as defined in M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 25, clause (1), from the District, whichever is less. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 4h, tax increments may be used to pay for the County's actual administrative expenses incurred in connection with the District and are not subject to the percentage limits of M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 3. The county may require payment of those expenses by February 15 of the year following the year the expenses were incurred. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469. 177, Subd. 11, the County Treasurer shall deduct an amount (currently .36 percent) of any increment distributed to the EDA or City and the County Treasurer shall pay the amount deducted to the State Commissioner of Management and Budget for deposit in the state general fund to be appropriated to the State Auditor for the cost of financial reporting of tax increment financing information and the cost of examining and auditing authorities' use of tax increment financing. This amount may be adjusted annually by the Commissioner of Revenue. Subsection 2 -19. Limitation of Increment The tax increment pledged to the payment of bonds and interest thereon may be discharged and the District maybe terminated if sufficient funds have been irrevocably deposited in the debt service fund or other escrow account held in trust for all outstanding bonds to provide for the payment of the bonds at maturity or redemption date. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 6: if, after four years from the date of certification of the original net tax capacity of the tax incrementfinancingdistrictpursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, no demolition, rehabilitation or renovation of property or other site preparation, including qualified improvement of a street adjacent to a parcel but not installation of utility service including sewer or water systems, has been commenced on a parcel located within a tax incrementfinancing district by the authority or by the owner oftheparcel in accordance with the tax increment financing plan, no additional tax increment may be taken from that parcel and the original net tax capacity of that parcel shall be excluded from the original net tax capacity of the tax increment financing district. If the authority or the owner of the parcel subsequently commences demolition, rehabilitation or renovation or othersite preparation on that parcel including qualified improvement of a street adjacent to that parcel, in accordance with the tax incrementfinancingplan, the authority shall certify to the county auditor that the activity has commenced and the county auditor shall certify the net tax capacity thereof as most recently certified by the commissioner of revenue and add it to the original net tax capacity of the tax incrementfinancing district.

Andover Economic Development Authority Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 -6 2 -12 Subsection 2 -22. Requirements for Agreements with the Developer The EDA or City will review any proposal for private development to determine its conformance with the Development Program and with applicable municipal ordinances and codes. To facilitate this effort, the following documents may be requested for review and approval: site plan, construction, mechanical, and electrical system drawings, landscaping plan, grading and storm drainage plan, signage system plan, and any other drawings or narrative deemed necessary by the EDA or City to demonstrate the conformance of the development with City plans and ordinances. The EDA or City may also use the Agreements to address other issues related to the development. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 5, no more than 10 percent, by acreage, of the property to be acquired in the District as set forth in the TIF Plan shall at any time be owned by the EDA or City as a result of acquisition with the proceeds of bonds issued pursuant to M.S., Section 469.178 to which tax increments from property acquired is pledged, unless prior to acquisition in excess of 10 percent of the acreage, the EDA or City concluded an agreement for the development of the property acquired and which provides recourse for the EDA or City should the development not be completed. Subsection 2 -23. Assessment Agreements Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 8, the EDA or City may enter into a written assessment agreement in recordable form with the developer of property within the District which establishes a minimum market value of the land and completed improvements for the duration of the District. The assessment agreement shall be presented to the County Assessor who shall review the plans and specifications for the improvements to be constructed, review the market value previously assigned to the land upon which the improvements are to be constructed and, so long as the minimum market value contained in the assessment agreement appears, in the judgment of the assessor, to be a reasonable estimate, the County Assessor shall also certify the minimum market value agreement. Subsection 2 -24. Administration of the District Administration of the District will be handled by the City Administrator. Subsection 2 -25. Annual Disclosure Requirements Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subds. 5, 6, and 6b the EDA or City must undertake financial reporting for all tax increment financing districts to the Office of the State Auditor, County Board and County Auditor on or before August 1 of each year. M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 5 also provides that an annual statement shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the City on or before August 15. If the City fails to make a disclosure or submit a report containing the information required by M.S., Section 469.175 Subd. 5 and Subd. 6, the OSA will direct the County Auditor to withhold the distribution of tax increment from the District. Subsection 2 -26. Reasonable Expectations As required by the TIF Act, in establishing the District, the determination has been made that the anticipated development would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and that the increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase in the market value estimated to result from the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax Andover Economic Development Authority Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 -6 2 -13 increments for the maximum duration of the District permitted by the TIF Plan. In making said determination, reliance has been placed upon written representation made by the developer to such effects and upon EDA and City staff awareness of the feasibility of developing the project site(s) within the District. A comparative analysis of estimated market values both with and without establishment of the District and the use of tax increments has been performed as described above. Such analysis is included with the cashflow in Appendix D, and indicates that the increase in estimated market value of the proposed development (less the indicated subtractions) exceeds the estimated market value of the site absent the establishment of the District and the use of tax increments. Subsection 2 -27. Other Limitations on the Use of Tax Increment General Limitations. All revenue derived from tax increment shall be used in accordance with the TIF Plan. The revenues shall be used to finance, or otherwise pay the cost of redevelopment of the Development District No. 1 pursuant to M.S., Sections 469.090 to 469.1082. Tax increments may not be used to circumvent existing levy limit law. No tax increment may be used for the acquisition, construction, renovation, operation, or maintenance of a building to be used primarily and regularly for conducting the business of a municipality, county, school district, or any other local unit of government or the state or federal government. This provision does not prohibit the use of revenues derived from tax increments for the construction or renovation of a parking structure, 2. Poolinu Limitations. At least 80 percent of tax increments from the District must be expended on activities in the District or to pay bonds, to the extent that the proceeds of the bonds were used to finance activities within said district or to pay, or secure payment of, debt service on credit enhanced bonds. Not more than 20 percent of said tax increments may be expended, through a development fund or otherwise, on activities outside of the District except to pay, or secure payment of, debt service on credit enhanced bonds. For purposes of applying this restriction, all administrative expenses must be treated as if they were solely for activities outside of the District. 3. Five Year Limitation on Commitment of Tax Increments. Tax increments derived from the District shall be deemed to have satisfied the 80 percent test set forth in paragraph (2) above only if the five year rule set forth in M.S., Section 469.1763, Subd. 3, has been satisfied; and beginning with the sixth year following certification of the District, 80 percent of said tax increments that remain after expenditures permitted under said five year rule must be used only to pay previously committed expenditures or credit enhanced bonds as more fully set forth in M.S., Section 469.1763, Subd. 5. Subsection 2 -28. Summary The Andover Economic Development Authority is establishing the District to preserve and enhance the tax base, and provide employment opportunities in the City. The TIF Plan for the District was prepared by Ehlers & Associates, Inc., 3060 Centre Pointe Drive, Roseville, Minnesota 55113 -1105, telephone (651) 697 -8500. Andover Economic Development Authority Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 -6 2 -14 Appendix A Project Description Measurement Specialties is a global designer and manufacturer of sensors and sensor -based systems which measure pressure /force, position, vibration, temperature, humidity, and fluid properties. They will be constructing a new 25,000 sq /ft manufacturing facility in order to consolidate operations into one location. In order for a new building to be cost competitive with an existing foreclosed property they are looking at, Measurement Specialties has requested to purchase the land from the City's EDA at a greatly reduced purchase price. Without the land write -down, the cost to build a new building is more than the cost of buying an existing facility elsewhere. The City's EDA will be selling the land to them for a reduced price and will utilize the TIF generated from the project over the 9 -year term to partially repay the City's EDA for the fair market value of the land.

It is found that the area within the Development District is potentially more useful and valuable than is being realized under existing development, is less productive than is possible under this program and, therefore, is not contributing to the tax base to its full potential. Therefore, the City has determined to exercise its authority to develop a program for improving the Development District of the City to provide impetus for private development, to maintain and increase employment, to utilize existing potential and to provide other facilities as are outlined in the Development Program adopted and modified by the City. The Council has also determined that the proposed development would not occur solely through private investment in. the foreseeable future; that the tax increment financing plan proposed herein is consistent with the Development Program; and that the tax increment financing plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the municipality as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of the Development District by private enterprise. The Council finds that the welfare of the City as well as the State of Minnesota requires active promotion, attraction, encouragement and development of economically sound industry and commerce to carry out its stated public purpose objectives. Subsection 1.3. Statutory Authority. The Council determines that it is desirable and in the public interest to establish, develop and administer a Development Program for the Development District in the City to implement its Development District Plan, pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 472A, as amended, of Minnesota Statutes (the "Development District Act "). 1 - 2 Funding of the necessary activities and improvements in the Development District shall be accomplished through tax increment financing in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Sections 273.71 to 273.78, inclusive, (the "Tax Increment Financing Act ") and through the use of industrial revenue bonds pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 474, as amended, of Minnesota Statutgtp (the "Municipal Industrial Development Act "). The City has designated a specific area within the corporate limits of the City as the Development District as authorized by Section 472A.03 of the Development District Act which is hereby amended as outlined in this document. Within the Development District, the City plans to undertake two (2) redevelopment districts as types of tax increment financing districts established pursuant to Section 273.73, Subdivi- sion 10, of the Tax Increment Act. Subsection 1.4. Statement of Obiectives. The Council determines that the establishment of the Development District will provide the City with the ability to achieve certain public purpose goals not otherwise obtainable in the foreseeable future without City intervention in the normal development process. The public purpose goals include: restora- tion and improvement of the tax base and tax revenue generating capacity of the Development District; increased employment opportunities; realiza- tion of comprehensive planning goals; removal of blighted conditions; revitalization of the property within the Development District to create an attractive, comfortable, convenient, and efficient area for industrial, commercial, and related uses. The City and Council seek to achieve the following Development Program objectives: 1. Promote and secure the prompt development of certain property in the Development District,,, which property is not now in productive use or in its highest and best use, in a manner consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and with a minimum adverse impact on the environment, and thereby promote and secure the development of other land in the City. 2. Promote and secure additional employment ,opportunities within the Development District and the City for residents of the City and the surrounding area, thereby improving living standards, reducing unemploy- ment and the loss of skilled and unskilled labor and other ,human resources in the City. 3.

Encourage local business expansion, improvement, and develop- ment, whenever possible. 7. Create a desirable and unique character within the Development District through quality land use alternatives and design quality in new and remodeled buildings. 8. Encourage and provide maximum opportunity for private redevelopment of existing areas and structures which are compatible with the Development Program. Subsection 1.5.

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.
