PUBLIC HEARING: Conditional Use Permit for Therapeutic Massage Establishment as a Home Occupation —13847 Raven Street NW. Associate City Planner Brett Angell noted Kristine Maravelas is seeking a CUP for an in- home therapeutic massage establishment. Therapeutic massage is permitted as a conditional use in the R -4 Single Family -Urban zoned district as a Home Occupation. The 0.26 acre parcel is located north of Bunker Lake Blvd NW. The proposed massage area will be located in a room in the basement and will require no physical changes to the interior or exterior. There will be no outdoor space used. Mr. Angell reviewed the proposed conditional use permit application with the Commission. Motion by Kohler, seconded by Nemeth, to open the public hearing at 7:12 p.m. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Daninger) vote. Commissioner Kohler asked if there will be only one client at a time or will there be multiple clients at once. Ms. Kristine Maravelas, 13847 Raven Street, stated there will be one client at a time. Commissioner Koehler wondered if parking will be in the street or will there be room in the driveway. Ms. Maravelas indicated there will be room in the driveway to park. Commissioner Nemeth asked in regard to the hours, the staff reports shows the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. but in the paperwork it shows as 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and he wondered which is correct. Ms. Maravelas stated she will be done by 9:00 p.m. Commissioner Nemeth stated his hesitancy with 9:00 p.m. is with people leaving and disturbing neighbors. Ms. Maravelas stated 9:00 P.M. will be the latest time people will be leaving. Commissioner Cleven wondered low many clients will be seen. Ms. Maravelas stated right now her clients are around 20 people and it is all word of mouth so she anticipates 2 days a week but could be more over time. Commissioner Gudmundson wondered if there was any response from neighbors. Staff indicated there was not. Commissioner Peterson wondered if there was anticipation of having more staff. Ms. Maravelas stated it would just be herself. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —December 10, 2013 Page 3 Motion by Gudmundson, seconded by Cleven, to close the public hearing at 7:23 p.m. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Daninger) vote. Acting Chairperson Holthus stated the City currently has active massage businesses and she wondered how many there were. Mr. Carlberg indicated there were very few but of the home occupation massage businesses they do have; there have not been any issues. He noted in condition number five of the resolution it indicates "special" use and should be "conditional' use. Commissioner Peterson wondered if there will be any signage for the business on the property. Mr. Angell stated that there would not be. Motion by Kohler, seconded by Gudmundson, to recommend to the City Council approval of the Conditional Use Permit with the change to condition #5 changing the word from "special" to "conditional." Commissioner Nemeth wanted to comment on the end time of 9:00 p.m. because he thought there could be neighbor disturbances so wondered if the time should be changed to 7:00 p.m. Commissioner Kohler stated because this is a business and only one person would be leaving the home at a time, he did not feel this would be a big disturbance to the neighbors. Commissioner Peterson agreed and felt most of the business would be in the evening and in order for the applicant to grow her business she may need additional time for her clients. Motion carried on a 5 -ayes, 1 -nays (Nemeth), 1- absent (Daninger) vote, Community Development Director Carlberg stated that this item would be before the Council at the December 17, 2013 City Council meeting. PUBLIC HEARING: Consider a Preliminary Plat known as Bent Creek Shores —Six (6) lot Single Family Urban Residential Development —13563 Crooked Lake Blvd NW. City Planner Hanson noted the purpose of this item is to hold a public hearing and take input on a Preliminary Plat for Bent Creek Shores. The proposed preliminary plat contains 6 urban residential single family lots as proposed by Boulder Contracting, LLC. City Planner Hanson reviewed the proposed preliminary plat with the Commission. Commissioner Koehler asked about the status of the house on the property. Ms. Hanson stated it has been removed. Commissioner Peterson asked on Lot 4 he wondered where the location of the driveway would be because of the road (135`h Lane NW) across the street from the development. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — December 10, 2013 Page 4 He did not know if it would be placed across from the road entrance or not and thought staff might want to look at this. Commissioner Cleven stated on Item 15, the seasonal high water has not been addressed. Ms. Hanson stated the engineers and Coon Creek Watershed District will review this for issues. Commissioner Peterson asked if there were any special provisions that the developer has to abide by during construction with the creek being there. Ms. Hanson stated there are things the developer will have to abide by and NPDES requirements that will need to be met. Ms. Hanson noted the lots are really deep so the creek will not be affected at all. Commissioner Nemeth stated regarding the tree preservation, these are recommendations but he did not see them in the motion and wondered if they should be added. Ms. Hanson stated those recommendations were comments and do not need to be added to the motion. Acting Chairperson Holthus asked if the Andover Review Committee approved this plat. Ms. Hanson stated this is discussed as a group and then goes out to the departments for review and the only ones with comments were the engineering department and they will be the ones making sure the issues are addressed. Motion by Gudmundson, seconded by Nemeth, to open the public hearing at 7:32 p.m. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays; 1- absent (Daninger) vote. Mr. Gary Rowley, 2815 135`h Circle NW, asked if the lots were going all the way to the creek. Ms. Hanson stated that was correct. Mr. Rowley asked what kind of homes will be built in the development. He stated he was glad this was being developed. Mr. Jim Cormear, Boulder Contracting, 2322 17151 Lane NE, Ham Lake, stated homes will typically be three bedroom, two baths or larger with basements. These will be custom built homes and it will be up to the client on what they want built. Commissioner Peterson stated on lot one, he noticed it appears to be wider than the others. Mr. Cormear stated there are maintenance easements and sewer stubs already in that the lots need to meet up with. Commissioner Peterson asked if the lot sizes could be made more uniform. Mr. Cormear stated because of the easement there would not be much more land that could be added to each lot to make them more uniform. Commissioner Peterson asked what the price point would be. Mr. Cormear thought the homes would be $275,000 to $350,000. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — December 10, 2013 Page 5 Commissioner Gudmundson asked if there would be any covenants or an association in this development. Mr. Cormear stated at this point there would not be any. Commissioner Peterson stated. Lot 4 is across the street from a "T" intersection and he wondered if the developer had any preference on where to place the driveway. Mr. Cormear stated it would depend on the elevations and the type of elevations for the type of home that would be built, but typically they would not want the driveway located directly across from the intersection. Commissioner Nemeth asked regarding the trees, would the developer try to save some of the mature trees on the property. Mr. Cormear stated they will look at saving mature trees but it all depends on the drainage and utility easements and how the homes will sit on the property. He noted the trees next to the creek will remain.to create a buffer. Motion by Koehler, seconded by Nemeth, to close the public hearing at 7:42 p.m. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Daninger) vote. Commissioner Koehler asked if there were any anticipated changes to traffic patterns. Mr. Carlberg indicated there were none, Motion by Nemeth, seconded by Peterson, to recommend to the City Council approval of the Preliminary Plat for 6 urban lots. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1- absent (Daninger) vote. City Planner Hanson stated that this item would be before the Council at the January 7, 2013 City Council meeting. PUBLIC HEARING: Consider Amendment to the City Corte 14, Flood Control Associate City Planner Angell noted the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has requested that Andover and surrounding cities update their ordinances on flood control based upon the 3rd Generation Watershed Plan. As a member community of the Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization, adoption of the recommended changes would bring Andover into conformance to Minnesota Rules, Chapter 6120.5000. Commissioner Nemeth asked if the reason this was before them was to make sure this conformed to the State rules. Mr. Angell indicated that was correct. Commissioner Nemeth asked if the definitions that were added were from the rule itself or did City staff create them. Mr. Angell stated the definitions were given to the City by the DNR. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — December 10, 2013 Page 6 Commissioner Gudmundson asked what the ramifications would be if they did not do this. Mr. Angell stated he was not sure. Mr. Carlberg stated staff was ok with the changes and did not want to find out what would happen if they were not followed.

Hanson, City Planner SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING: Residential Sketch Plan for a plat known as Winslow Woods — 101 urban lot residential development located southeast of Crosstown Boulevard. DATE: March 11, 2014 INTRODUCTION The Planning Commission is asked to review a residential sketch plan for a single family urban residential development including all of the outlined properties shown on the attached location map. 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, Paul Emmerich Construction submitted a sketch plan known as Winslow Woods. It is a 101 — urban lot residential development located south of Sophie's South and east of Winslow Hill's developments. 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 has met with staff to discuss the comments. The sketch plan has also been submitted to the watershed and school district for review. Staff has not received comments to date. Conformance with Local and Regional Plans and Ordinances 1. The property is located within the 2020 MUSA Boundary and within the current stage of sewer expansion. 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 The majority of the plat (the northern portion) will be accessed from Xeon Street NW through Sophie's South development. Since Xeon Street NW is classified as a collector street and will be designated as a municipal state aid street, direct access from lots to this street is limited and highly discouraged. At some point in the future, Xeon Street NW will connect with Andover Boulevard as development continues to the south. The southern portion of the plat will be accessed by 1501h Lane NW through the Winslow Hills development. At some point in the future 150th Lane NW will connect with Xeon Street NW. The Anoka County Highway Department is in the process of reviewing the sketch plan; staff has not received a written review letter. Utilities Trunk sewer and water lines are located within the Sophie's South and Winslow Hill's developments and will be extended to serve the Winslow Woods plat. This will be evaluated as part of the preliminary platting process. Lots Some of the lots may need to be adjusted to meet the minimum requirements of the R -4 Zoning District. This includes: 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. 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. 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 Foodplain existing within the plat. A wetland delineation will need to be completed and certified as part of the platting process. 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. Southwest Corner of Sketch Plan The properties south of the sketch plan are not proposed for development at this time. However, it is important that these properties be evaluated and that a street connection is provided at a location that will allow efficient development to occur in the future. The sketch plan depicts the ghost platting of the southern properties and a future street connection to Andover Boulevard. Park and Recreation Commission The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the sketch plan at the February 27, 2014 meeting. A draft of the meeting minutes are attached for your review. A trail will be constructed along the west side of Xeon Street to connect with the existing trail through Sophie's South. The Park and Recreation Commission are also proposing a trail connection at some point on the eastern portion of the plat; the exact location has not been determined. This trail would eventually serve the residential areas to the east; preferably through a tunnel system located beneath the railroad tracks. A 20 foot wide trail will be designated as park to connect the development with Sophie's Park. The remainder of park dedication will be collected as cash in lieu of land. 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 and Zoning Commission is asked to hold a public hearing and informally advise the applicant on adjustments to the proposed project to conform to local ordinances and review criteria.

Haas, Asst. Public Works Director, ->W DATE: March 5, 2014 REFERENCE: Winslow Woods Sketch Plan /Review #3 The following comments are regards to Review #1: Wetland verification is pending until spring. The delineation of the wetland identified on sketch plan will need to be approved by the Coon Creek Watershed District and indicated on the plan as such. The following comments are regards to Review #3: Pending. Discussion will be necessary with Planning Commission and City Council to determine if Wintergreen Street NW from Sophie's South development should be connected to Street A in the Winslow Woods development. Note: The option for Wintergreen Street NW to extend south to the proposed development was left open as an option by the City Council when Sophie's South was approved. It is recommended to require Xeon Street NW and 150th Lane NW be connected to eliminated the temporarily cul -de -sacs. In addition from a Public Works perspective, making the connection will allow for easier snow plowing activities. Note: It is staff's understanding the developer does not have a purchase agreement on that portion of the property to make the street connection. It is recommended the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council that every effort be made to obtain a street easement to allow for this connection. 3. Street D and E will exceed the maximum allowed by City Code of 500 feet. A variance will need to be requested and approved by the City Council for this to exceed the maximum allowed length. 4. Park & Recreation Commission is recommending a 20 foot wide strip of land that will be dedicated as park to allow easier access from the new neighborhood to Sophies Park. The remainder of the park dedication required will be cash in lieu of land. 5. It is recommended that a walkway /bikeway trail underpass under the railroad tracks be considered to allow for a connection between the neighborhoods on both sides of the tracks. Having the connection between the west side and east provides benefit for residents to access parks (Prairie Knoll Park and Sophies Park) but will also allow a nice connection for residents and students to walk or bike to school or have more of a direct route through the Winslow Hills neighborhoods to City Hall and Community Center. The developer will need to explore the options to recommend the best location for the trail to cross under the railroad tracks. Note: The developer must respond in writing to each item in the memo to ensure compliance. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Dave Berkowitz or Todd Haas at (763) 755 -5100.

CONSIDER WINSLOW WOODS SXETCHPLAN Assistant Public Works Director Haas reviewed the Park and Recreation Commission is requested to review and consider the park dedication requirements for the proposed Winslow Woods Sketch Plan, which is located south of Sophie's Park. Mr. Haas identified the location of Sophie's Park on a map. Regular Andover Park & Recreation Commission Meeting DRAFT Minutes —February 27, 2014 Page 2 A copy of the sketch plan was provided for the Commissioners for their review. The sketch plan does include an area of park adjacent to Sophie's Park. Public Works Staff have reviewed the sketch plan and recommends that no additional parkland be dedicated in addition to the Sophie's Park due to the existing wetlands that has been identified on the sketch plan. Staff is recommending a 20 -foot wide trail easement or parkland access from Winslow Woods for access to Sophie's Park. If any of the property in this general area is dedicated as park, the cash portion that is due for the remainder of the park dedication will be calculated based on the formula per City Code 11 -3 -7 (C). The more land required to be dedicated the lesser the park dedication fee portion will be. The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to review and consider the park dedication requirements for the proposed Winslow Woods Sketch Plan. Chair Butler asked if there would be a connection from Sophie's Park south into the new development. Mr. Haas indicated that there would be a 20 foot dedicated park property for the construction of a trail for the new neighborhood so there would easier access. No additional park land is being recommended to be dedicated. Chair Butler asked if there will be trail segment along Xeon Street NW from Sophie's South development. Mr. Haas indicated there will be, stating there is an existing trail in Sophie's South development and that will eventually be connected to Andover Boulevard. In addition, at some point there will be a trial that will be constructed along the south side of Crosstown Boulevard between Hanson Boulevard and Sophie's South development at the west end. Chair Butler said this plan does two things; it connects new developments and gives more immediate connection of Sophie's Park to the area. Commissioner Miskowiec asked about dimensions of Sophie's Park. Mr. Haas said the park is approximately three to four residential lots wide and about an acre size. Commissioner Miskowiec said we are adding 100 more units and to the north are more units. He said there is not a lot of land masses for this many houses and it will be a heavily used park that will see much congestion. Mr. Haas said we cannot develop wetland, adding there is another undeveloped park as part of Moore Estates development. He said we could do others but that he would not recommend tying anything to Sophie's Park except for the 20 -foot trail. Mr. Haas said Sunshine Park is nearby as well as the school and City Hall with lots of easy access to those parks and facilities. Larry Olson, Winslow Woods, said the development will be 100 lots with Phase I indicated to start as soon as plat approval is received, which will hopefully be late summer or early fall depending on sales with complete build out within the next two summers. Mr. Olson said they have reviewed one lot being part of the park but said it is Regular Andover Park & Recreation Commission Meeting DRAFT Minutes — February 27, 2014 Page 3 heavily wooded and contains wetland so it was decided it would not be the best option for a park. Commissioner Stenzel asked about the south half of the plan by 149`h Avenue. Mr. Olson said the land is not for sale now but an easement was required by the City as a possibility for future utility extensions. Commissioner Stenzel inquired about Xeon Street to 1501h Avenue to the east area. Mr. Olson said they are looking at this area for regional storm water retention ponding and storm water. Mr. Haas said the Planning Commission had indicated that property to the east is within the MUSA and can be served, adding that sewer will need to come across the railroad tracks. He said it was suggested that a trail connection occur with a possible tunnel to access the schools, City Hall, and YMCA at a location not yet determined but based on grading, ponding, and other components. He said this concept still needs to be reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council before final recommendation can be made. Commissioner Stenzel, inquired about the easement. Mr. Haas said there is a gas line easement along with some sewer and water work and then a bikeway /walkway tunnel will be determined. Commissioner Stenzel asked about the cul -de -sac on 150`h Avenue. Mr. Haas said a temporary cul -de -sac will be needed on Xeon Street for snowplowing. Commission consensus was to approve the park dedication requirements for Winslow Woods Sketch Plan with the proposed 20 -foot trail and no additional park as part of the preliminary plat. Chair Butler said he was comfortable with the trail concept. He said this will result in a nice small park on the south side and thanked the applicant for his work. DISCUSS{ LANGSETH PARK UDGET AND IMPROVEMENTS /13 -43 Assistant Public Works Director Haas reviewed the Commission is requested to discuss budget and improvements to Langseth Park. A listing of the proposed improvements that are being recommended by the Public Works Parks Department along with recommended allocation for parks ( Langseth and Andover Lions). If there are no questions from the Commission, staff will contact the neighborhood representatives to schedule a meeting to discuss the funds available and playground structures that may be considered for purchase. It was noted the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) identifies $48,000 to be utilized for replacement/repairs of playground structures.
