Commissioner Knight asked for an update on the area of 7' Avenue and Bunker Lake Boulevard.
Mr. Janish indicated a developer has been having conversation with the gas company regarding a
land swap. There are some utility concerns that will need to be discussed with Anoka County.
Mr. Janish stated since this property is an estate the owners intend to sell the entire property in one
transaction.
REDEVELOPMENT UPDATE
Mr. Dickinson stated staff continues to focus on Bunker Lake Boulevard properties. The two
buildings acquired on Bunker Lake Boulevard have renters. A management company has been
hired for the rental properties, Mr. Janish is working with the management company.
Commissioner Knight asked if the redevelopment area could all be commercial. Mr. Dickinson
answered the area could be "mixed use". Mr. Dickinson reminded the EDA; the current density
will need to be replaced when redeveloped.
Mr. Dickinson stated going into comprehensive plan discussions. High density in the City is 14
units per acre. He continued that this density does not yield a cost-effective apartment building
when you are talking redevelopment.
President Trude asked if it is a better opportunity if it's a "clean" site. Mr. Janish answered the
metro area developers are generally seeing higher density.

DATE: April 17, 2018
INTRODUCTION
The City of Andover has "natural areas" as part of the medians on Bunker Lake Blvd. It is staffs
understanding concerns have been reported about the appearance of these medians.
Staff has provided information related to the management of these medians by Prairie Restorations, Inc.
Management for these medians would cost $600 for the 2018 growing season.

estimated to cost around $1,000. I have attached an email from Mr. Kytonen for your review.
Staff has also provided estimates on removing the plants and placing concrete in the area. The cost to
remove and install concrete is between $160,000 to $190,000.
Staff is looking for direction from the EDA on if there is interest in pursuing the replacement of the
"natural areas".

Joe -
Per our recent conversation about the Bunker Lake Blvd. medians; along with the integrated pest management work
(including spraying, mowing, weeding), it would be nice to plant in some flowers and/or native shrubbery as well to help
try and improve the aesthetics.
I spoke with Cory from Prairie Restorations yesterday, and he's going to put together a cost estimate for planting more
material in there. However, a ballpark is $1K or so.

INTRODUCTION
The City of Andover EDA purchased three four plexes (2557 and 2543 Bunker Lake Blvd. NW along
with 2526 138' Ave NW) at the end of 2017. Renters occupy 2557 Bunker Lake Blvd. and 2543 Bunker
Lake Blvd. The third has been secured and is not intended to be rented at this time.
When the two properties along Bunker Lake Blvd were purchased, the listings indicated rent could be
increased to be closer to market rate. Staff contacted Cedar Management, Inc. who is managing the
properties for the City of Andover to have a rent analysis conducted. Attached you will find the
information provided by the management company.
After review of the rental analysis staff is proposing an increase in rent by $100 per month starting July 1,
2018. The management company would provide notice to the renters after the EDA approves the increase.
