Councilmembers present: Mike Knight, Sheri Bukkila, Valerie Holthus and James Goodrich Councilmember absent: None Also present: City Administrator, Jim Dickinson Community Development Director, Dave Carlberg Director of Public Works /City Engineer, David Berkowitz City Attorney, Scott Baumgartner Others PLEDGE OFALLEGL4NCE RESIDENT FORUM Mr. Brad Anderson, 4450 147th Lane NW, Andover, stated he wanted to talk about a possible trail connection from Andover to other Anoka County Trails. He lived in the Meadowood neighborhood in Andover. He thought the new Anoka development would give them the possibility of putting in a new neighborhood trail that would connect to the new development. Mr. Anderson showed a map of Anoka County and reviewed the area he was talking about. Mr. Anderson stated currently to get anywhere from his neighborhood they would have to get onto 7th Avenue, which is a very busy road. He stated the City of Anoka has a new housing development, Rum River Shores and they have on their plans to add a trail on the north side of the new development which borders Andover and the Meadowood neighborhood so he thought this would be a good opportunity to put in and connect a trail which would allow them to go to various places in the area that they cannot get to easily by walking or biking. Mayor Trude thought Mr. Anderson had a really good idea and thought it would be cheaper to connect that community into a trail system with one little piece of trail as opposed to an entire trail along the west side of 7th Avenue. Mayor Trude wondered if staff could talk to the City of Anoka in order to investigate whether a trail connection could be made. © Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes —July 21, 2015 Page 2 Councilmember Holthus asked if any residents were talked to that lived on the street. Mr. Anderson stated he has not yet and thought the City could do that because now a trail will be behind those homes. Councilmember Holthus thought it sounded like a great idea. Councilmember Bukkila asked if this has already been reviewed by staff and has there been discussion between Anoka and Andover as the development is going in. Mr. Berkowitz stated they were involved in some of the preliminary discussions for the development but until the actual trail was carved in, they were not involved. He noted he has met with some residents there a few different times to try to resolve some issues regarding trail elevation and how that lays out with their lots. The residents are not interested in any trail or connection to that trail through their property. They could work with some of the other residents to see about putting a trail along their property. Mr. Berkowitz reviewed the timeline and discussions that have been done with the City of Anoka. Councilmember Knight stated there is currently so much construction on the west side of the development that if the City were to put a trail in it might interfere with the construction. Mr. Berkowitz indicated it would be outside of the construction area and they would work with the City of Anoka and developer if the City Council wanted staff to look into putting a trail in. Councilmember Bukkila requested staff to research this further and bring it back to a future meeting. AGENDA APPROVAL Staff requested the City Council add on Item 9a (Approve Application for Exempt Permit/Andover Center Ice Club) and also Item 9b (Approve Amendment No. 1 to Connectivity Service Agreement/Anoka County). Staff also added a Closed Session after the regular meeting to discuss Property Sale Negotiations /PID #I1- 32 -24 -31 -0001. Motion by Bukkila, Seconded by Knight, to approve the Agenda as amended above. Motion carried unanimously. APPROVAL OF MINUTES July 7, 2015, Regular Meeting: Correct as amended.

Motion by Bukkila, Seconded by Holthus, to approve the minutes as indicated above. Motion carried unanimously. July 7, 2015, Workshop Meeting: Correct as amended. ® Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — July 21, 2015 Page 3 Councilmember Holthus requested a correction on page two, line 7, " Councilmember Holthus asked if City #all Staff was provided a questionnaire to see how they felt space was being used."

Councilmember Goodrich wanted to commend the patrol group in his neighborhood with helping © Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — July 21, 2015 Page 4 with speeding issues. CONSIDER PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT — COUNTRY OAKS WEST C.I. C NO. 22 — SHADOW PONDS, LLC Mr. Carlberg explained the City Council is asked to review the revised Planned Unit Development (PUD) architectural elevations for the homes in Country Oaks West C.I.C. No. 22, Block 1, Lots 12- 23 as requested by Shadow Ponds, LLC. Mr. Carlberg reviewed the staff report with the Council. Mayor Trude stated she reviewed the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting and discussed with staff and the City Attorney about some items that are not a part of this item but need addressing. She noticed the association has a meeting set later this week and the documents that were approved in 2004 do give the control of the association to the homeowners. She stated the homeowners are beginning to take the reins of self - governess. The City role is to continue to review what is going to work in the City and thought their goal as a Council is they want to see the area develop which is the best thing for this development. © Councilmember Bukkila stated they have Exhibit A, color floor elevations, and she asked if they are trying to tie them into the existing townhomes. Mr. Carlberg stated these are a different style of unit. He thought this ties in well with the residential homes in the area, it is very difficult to try to tie a residential single - family structure into the detached twin homes already existing. Councilmember Bukkila stated the coloring on the drawings are similar and she wondered if there will be greater variation. Mr. Carlberg stated there are five different variations in the packet and would stay consistent with what is in the packet. Mr. Steve Bona, Capstone Homes and Shadow Ponds, LLC, stated there are only twelve lots they will be dealing with on this site and he thought they have submitted five different house plans. All of the pads and the lots were previously approved for split entry homes so they are trying to break that up more by showing different styles of homes with more character. The facades on the homes will fit in well with the character of the neighborhood. Mayor Trude stated the homes in the development tend to be softer in color palette. She thought there will be a little more landscaping in these as well. Mr. Bona stated there is a landscaping buffer on the backsides of the lots and the front sides will be similar to what is currently in the neighborhood. ® Councilmember Goodrich stated he liked the improvements. Councilmember Bukkila indicated she liked this better than what was previously approved. Motion by Bukkila, Seconded by Knight, to approve the amendment to modify the architectural © Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes —July 21, 2015 Page 5 elevations and floor plans for the detached single - family homes as shown in Exhibit A of the attached resolution. Motion carried unanimously. (See Resolution R065 -15) INTERIM USE PERMIT — WHITE PINES WILDERNESS 2ND ADDITION, OUTLOT A — LAND RECLAMATION— LARR Y EMMERICH Mr. Carlberg stated Larry Emmerich is proposing to store up to 5,000 cubic yards of soil until July 2019. The soil will be stored on Outlot A of White Pine Wilderness 2nd Addition. Mr. Carlberg reviewed the staff report with the Council. Mayor Trude stated she drove out to the site and did not see any large pile of soil so she wondered if more soil is to be added to what is already on site. Mr. Berkowitz stated the intent of the applicant, as the homes are built, to utilize any excess dirt and stock pile that within the property so that he can utilize that for the future development and extension of the road to the cul -de -sac. He stated this can grow up to a maximum of 5,000 cubic yards, which is not a real large amount. QMayor Trude thought there was substantial buffering between this and the existing homes. She wondered what timeline issues could exist. Mr. Berkowitz stated in regard to the timeline, if there is a timeframe of two years, there is an option, if there is a problem with the pile as people move in the applicant needs to come back and reapply to extend that. Councilmember Bukkila asked if there are additional fees if the applicant were to come back to amend this for more time. Mr. Carlberg stated there are some additional fees, around three or four hundred dollars to go through the process again. Councilmember Goodrich wanted to confirm that this will be hydro seeded. Mr. Carlberg stated once they have established the pile itself they are required to hydro seed and maintain that during the life of the permit and is also a requirement of the Watershed District as well. Mr. Berkowitz stated as this is an ongoing stockpile, the applicant should pile up in a location where they can periodically seed that as they go. The City does not want an exposed pile for a long time especially once development occurs in there, they do not want soil blowing around collecting on the road or affecting the adjacent properties. Councilmember Bukkila stated she would like to keep the date as recommended by staff of October 31, 2017. Motion by Holthus, Seconded by Goodrich, to approve the Interim Use Permit for the storage of up to 5,000 cubic yards of soil to remain on the site until October 31, 2017. Motion carried unanimously. (See Resolution R066 -15) Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes —July 21, 2015 Page 6 CONSIDER INTERIM USE PERMIT AMENDMENT — COUNTRY OAKS NORTH — LAND RECLAMATION— RICHARD KUIKEN Mr. Carlberg stated Mr. Kuiken is proposing a 6 -month extension from June 3, 2016 to November 1, 2016 for the storage of up to 20,600 cubic yards of soil. The soil will continue to be stored on the 20 acre parcel located northeast of 16541 Hanson Boulevard NW. Mr. Carlberg reviewed the staff report with the Council. Mayor Trude stated she drove through the development and there are over twenty new homes and she thought they looked great. Motion by Bukkila, Seconded by Knight, to approve the Interim Use Permit Amendment for the storage of up to 20,600 cubic yards of soil to remain on the site until November 1, 2016. Motion carried unanimously. (See Resolution R067 -15) CONSIDER INTERIM USE PERMIT — COUNTRY OAKS NORTH 2ND ADDITION— LAND Q RECLAMATION — SW INVESTMENTS Mr. Carlberg stated SW Investments is proposing to store up to 23,713 cubic yards of soil until November 1, 2016. The soil will be stored on the southwest corner of the proposed development known as Country Oaks North 2nd Addition. Mr. Carlberg reviewed the staff report with the Council. Mayor Trude asked if this is located on the property the City owns or on their property. Mr. Carlberg stated it will be on the Country Oaks North forty acres of property. Motion by Knight, Seconded by Holthus, to approve the Interim Use Permit for the storage of up to 23,713 cubic yards of soil to remain on the site until November 1, 2016. Councilmember Bukkila stated as the homes will be built on the north side of the road is the intention to leave the dirt pile there while the homes are built. Mr. Scott Wold, SW Investments, stated their intention is to create dirt for their proposed road and to also make walk out lots, which are more desirable and they will need some fill for the grading of the proposed future Country Oaks 2nd Addition. The pile will be there until next spring when their intention is to start grading the road out to Hanson Boulevard. © Councilmember Bukkila noted they have not discussed any development on the north portion of the property but she assumed that was going to be Woodland so she wondered if that will be clear cut in order to stockpile up there. Mr. Wold stated they have brought a site plan in for that property. Councilmember Bukkila stated she is concerned about the trees and tree preservation ® Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes —July 21, 2015 Page 7 in that area. Mr. Wold indicated some trees will need to be removed in that area in order to stockpile the dirt. Motion carried unanimously. (See Resolution R068 -15) SCHEDULE AUGUST COUNCIL WORKSHOP MEETING Mr. Dickinson requested the Council schedule a Workshop Meeting to discuss topics as detailed in the staff report. The Council discussed the draft agenda and available dates. Motion by Holthus, Seconded by Goodrich, to schedule a Workshop Meeting on August 25, 2015, at 6:00 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT City Staff updated the Council on the administration and city department activities, legislative updates, updates on development/CIP projects, and meeting reminders /community events. MAFOR/COUNCIL INPUT (Fun Fest) Mayor Trude reviewed the Fun Fest activities that occurred. She thought they all had a fun time and got to interact with the Commissioners in the booth. (Coyotes Around Round Lake) Councilmember Trude stated they have received some correspondence from people around Round Lake regarding coyotes and she thought this was part of the urban wildlife they get because of the farms and rivers and lakes in the area. She directed the people that are concerned about them to the DNR website where there are guidelines on what people can and cannot do in their yards to make sure people are not attracting them and remedies people can take. She stated at this time the City does not get involved with animal control other than licensing dogs. (Rum River Correspondence) Councilmember Trude stated she did not know they did not have a good name for the Rum River. There was an article in the StarTribune about discussion of returning to an Indian name.
