Page 2
Mr. Carlberg updated Andover Animal Hospital purchased the property located at 1730 139th
Lane and plan to construct a 5,500 square foot building on the parcel this summer.
Mr. Dickinson informed the EDA that Kottkes Bus Service sold their business to Landmark
Student Transportation out of Canada. The company currently owns 7 businesses in Canada and
8 in the United States.
DEPOT POND SIGNAGE
Mr. Carlberg indicated he is looking for direction from the EDA on the placement for the pond
name sign. He suggested using the existing poles by Bunker Lake Boulevard, those poles were
used for the concert in the park banner and he also suggested some type of placard could be
placed by the pergola and by other benches around the pond with a description of the area's
history. Mr. Carlberg stated the placards could be a Boy Scout project.
President Trude suggested having an inexpensive temporary banner placed on the existing poles
and liked the idea of the permanent signs explaining the area history to be placed around the
pond. The EDA concurred.
Mr. Carlberg indicated he will bring possible sign ideas to a future meeting.
UPDATE/TRIDENT DEVELOPMENT
Mr. Dickinson updated the EDA that Trident Development is pursuing another investor for their
Estates at Arbor Oaks project. Their plan is to move forward with the project presented to the
EDA and not scale back on the project.
REDEVELOPMENT UPDATE
Mr. Dickinson indicated staff continues to monitor the area. Staff will not pursue the six -plex,
the property owner of the six -plex feels the property is worth more than what the City is willing
to pay.
OTHER BUSINESS
Mr. Carlberg reviewed the placement of the message reader board on 133`d Avenue and Hanson
Boulevard. The placement has been staked out and the Sheriff's Office is in agreement with the
placement.
President Trude and Commissioner Bukkila have concerns with the placement of the sign. They
feel it is too far back from the intersection and would be hard to read when going 50 m.p.h.
Commissioner Bukkila stated she would like the opinion of the sign installment company on the
placement of the sign and the size of the sign, before making a decision on the sign.

SUBJECT: Hanson Blvd. /133`d Ave. Entrance/Monument Sign
DATE: May 3, 2016
INTRODUCTION
The EDA has directed staff to pursue a new entrance /monument sign in the area of Hanson
Boulevard NW and 133`d Avenue NW. The following is an update on this EDA directed
activity.
DISCUSSION
Staff has been working to locate a sign at the above stated location for several weeks. Staff with
the assistance of the sign company staked the proposed location for the sign on the northeast
corner of Hanson Blvd. and 133`d Ave. for the Anoka County Highway Departments (ACHD)
and the Anoka County Sheriff's Office (ALSO) review and approval. Staff also asked each
EDA Commissioner to review the proposed location as well. Staff has been directed by the
ACSO to look for an alternative sign location as the ACSO believes the proposed sign location
may confuse people to thinking that the building is City Hall and secondly, that two large non-
matching monument signs. in the same vicinity would not be the most aesthetically pleasing.
Attached is an aerial map identifying the ACSO preference for the sign location for EDA
consideration. Any location along this line will need to be reviewed and approved by the ACHD
for sight distances.
ACTION REQUESTED
Receive a presentation and provide direction to staff.
