Several from the department participated in "Heroes and Helpers," in Blaine and "Shop with a Cop" at the Andover Walmart. They also participated in a Special Olympics fundraiser at Andover High School. In the spring of 2018, the department will be ready to roll out body cameras. Councilmember Bukkila reminded residents to dispose of excess medications prior to holiday gatherings. They can be dropped off at the Sheriff's Office. Councilmember Goodrich asked if the Fire Department duty crew contributed to the positive © outcome with the two overdose cases. Lieutenant Lenzmeier confirmed that was the case. CROOKED LAKE AREA ASSOCIA TION UPDATE © Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — December 19, 2017 Page 3 Dan Anderson, the Association Watchdog gave an update on the work of the Association. They work with both cities, Andover and Coon Rapids, as well as with the DNR and the Coon Creek Watershed District. Their goal is to see clean water, by improving the quality and clarity, and make the water fit for recreational use. The organization needs approval and funding from both cities to enable the work to happen. They are grateful to be working closely with all organizations involved. Also without homeowner involvement, the DNR has less interest. Gary Nereson, Board Chair, directed the Council to page 3 of the Association newsletter he distributed. He highlighted the water clarity measurements and the improvement that has been seen with the phosphorus levels going down. Crooked Lake is the only metro lake that has received a Minnesota Star Lake Award. In order to get the needed permits, a lot of planning is required, along with plant surveys and a point intercept survey. A consultant actually goes out on the lake and sets grids and pulls up a sample of vegetation from the lake and identifies what comes up. The season was really good last year for treating milfoil. There were 3 applications; 6 weeks apart and they were able to nearly eliminate the milfoil utilizing the spot treatment. The consultant found no evidence of the milfoil after the treatment. The lake will need to continue to be monitored. © Mayor Trude asked about watercraft inspections. The data highlighted in the newsletter showed that violations are going down drastically, from 11.6% to .6% in 2015 —2017. Mr. Nereson stated water lilies are an indicator of the health of a lake and they are thriving in Crooked Lake. Councilmembers Bukkila and Holthus expressed appreciation for the work of the Association. Mayor Trude reiterated her appreciation for the leadership shown in the community and assistance to other groups facing similar issues. Mr. Nereson invited the community to an upcoming Association meeting on February 15'h, at 7:00 p.m., at Crooked Lake Elementary. CONSIDER LOT SPLIT — 2356 S. COON CREEKDRIVE NW Mr. Janish explained the property owners propose to split the 1.63 acre parcel to create two conforming urban lots. The proposed lot split meets the R-4 Single Family Urban requirements and is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. The Engineering Department reviewed the application and determined the lot is buildable. The property owners are proposing to allow the existing detached garage to remain on the newly created Parcel A. An Assessment Agreement will be executed and filed with Anoka County and © will allow the garage to remain on the property without a principal structure for one year, following the execution of the Agreement. If a principle structure is not constructed within one year, the City may tear down the structure and assess the costs to the property. © Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes —December 19, 2017 Page 4 A park dedication fee and a trail fee will be required to be paid at the time of the recording of the lot split. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval on a 5-0 vote (2 absent). Councilmember Holthus asked if the applicant could apply for a variance to keep the garage there longer. Mr. Janish replied when the time period is gone, the resident has to move that structure. Mayor Trude indicated the Planning and Zoning Commission minutes stated the intention of the homeowner is to market the property. Councilmember Bukkila commented if the property owner maintained ownership, she would not care if the garage stayed on the property. Mr. Janish responded it is a City Code issue and with the agreement it allows the Council to approve the lot split. Motion by Holthus, Seconded by Goodrich to approve Res. No. R103-17, allowing a lot split request to subdivide into two parcels, in the R-4 Single -Family Urban District, the property located at 2356 South Coon Creek Drive. Motion carried unanimously. SCHEDULE ADVISORY COMMISSION INTER VIE WS © The Council discussed the draft agenda and available dates. Motion by Knight Seconded by Bukkila to schedule Advisory Commission interviews, on January 16" starting at 5:30 p.m. — going until 6:45 p.m. and on January 17`x, starting at 5:30 p.m. until completed. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Trude asked if the Community Center Commissioners should be reappointed, since no one is seeking those Commission seats. There was general agreement among the Councilmembers. 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. (City Administrator) Mr. Dickinson has been wrapping up financial work and there has been some mid-term auditing happening. Ninety-five new homes have been permitted in Andover this year. The Youth First board has approved their budget and that organization is financially "solid" at this point in time. Mr. Dickinson has recruited one person for board membership. He has also attended the Anoka County Manager meeting, which includes school and City manager. Meetings cover interesting topics commonly faced by all. Counterparts in the southern part of the County are now participating. The City has closed on a property on behalf of DEA. Mr. Janish is managing this © property, plus 2 others. There have been meetings with some developers and landowners. There have also been construction manager interviews for the City campus expansion projects. There is quite a bit involved here: contracts, selection, and fees. © Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes —December 19, 2017 Page 5 (Public Works Director/City Engineer) Mr. Berkowitz confirmed the rinks are open and encouraged residents to check the City's website for the schedule. Crews have been keeping the roads cleaned up, and have been doing additional scraping and preparation for construction projects in 2018. (Community Development Director) Mr. Janish is continuing with code enforcement and has sent out quite a few letters. There have been new plats submitted, and a second submittal of a plat. It will probably be a busy year for housing development. Mayor Trude expressed appreciation for the Public Works staff, especially in the winter weather.
