Workshop Workshop Regular ACTION REQUIRED The City Council is requested to approve the above minutes. q s ectfully submitted, Michelle Hartner Deputy City Clerk Attach: Minutes 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 ANDOVER CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MEETING — JUNE 26,20-18 7 MINUTES 8 9 10 The Workshop Meeting of the Andover City Council was called to order by Mayor Julie Trude, 11 June 26, 2018, 6:00 p.m., at the Andover City Hall, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW, Andover, 12 Minnesota. 13 14 Councilmembers present: Mike Knight, Sheri Bukkila, Valerie Holthus and James Goodrich 15 Councilmember absent: None 16 Also present: City Administrator, Jim Dickinson 17 Community Development Director, Joe Danish 18 Public Works Director/City Engineer, David Berkowitz 19 Recreational Facilities Manager, Erick Sutherland 20 Others 21 22 23 DISCUSS POTENTL4L COMMUNITY CENTER EXPANSION 24 25 Mr. Dickinson explained the City Council is requested to receive an update from 292 Design Group 26 relative to exploring the expansion of the Andover YMCA Community Center. The Council will 27 be asked to provide direction on what components of an expansion should progress to a detailed 28 design. 29 30 Mr. Dickinson stated on December 5, 2017, the City Council approved the 292 Design Group 31 (292) as the architectural firm to provide architectural services to explore expansion of the Andover 32 Community Center/YMCA. The programming, schematic design and project development phase 33 is working toward a decision point date in June 2018 as to what components of an expansion may 34 progress to construction documents. 35 36 Mr. Dickinson stated on February 155, City Staff and 292 held a stakeholder meeting with many of 37 the local sports associations, school officials, Fun Fest representatives and Andover YMCA. On 38 February 12th the City Council and Community Center Advisory Commission was updated on the 39 stakeholder input and the Council & Community Center Advisory Commission provided their 40 goals for the project. 41 42 Mr. Dickinson stated since February, City staff has worked with 292 & RJM to assemble 43 conceptual designs that will address the requests of the stakeholder groups and engage the YMCA 44 on their potential participation in an expansion. 45 46 Mr. Mark Wentzell, 292 Design Group, made a presentation to the Council regarding the 47 Community Center Expansion, showing updated design plans and budget numbers. Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes — June 26, 2018 Page 2 1 Mayor Trude asked if Mr. Wentzell could go through the types of materials that will be used. Mr. 2 Wentzell reviewed the exterior building panels and materials that would be used in the project. He 3 noted it will be similar to what is already in the current building. 4 5 Councilmember Knight asked if Mr. Wentzell was familiar with the St. Michael/Albertville facility 6 because they have a nice walking track above the gym and it is so useful. Mr. Wentzell stated the 7 discussion comes about putting a track around a gym or arena. The gymnasium they have drawn 8 up is too small for a track without impinging upon the basketball courts. They would have to make 9 the gym larger but they do not have an elevator over there and a suspended track has to have an 10 elevator. It is easier and more cost effective for them to put a track around the multipurpose arena. 11 It does mean that it could be sixty degrees in there in the winter and warmer in the summer months. 12 13 Councilmember Holthus did not think there needed to be elevated corners on the track because 14 there are other tracks in other communities that do not have elevated corners. She stated there was 15 discussion about an elevated track when she was on the original Community Center Planning 16 Committee when they were planning the current Community Center but that was one of the items 17 they cut. 18 19 Mr. Sutherland indicated currently people will walk around the current field house when it is not 20 being used. For the users to have a dedicated walking space would be a benefit. He thought it 21 would be a benefit to have a dedicated senior space and walking area as part of the expansion and 22 they would go hand in hand. 23 24 Mayor Trude stated beyond walking could Mr. Sutherland see this being used by people who come 25 for a workout or for kids after school or while hockey events went on. Mr. Sutherland indicated it 26 would be used by many different groups and there is certainly room for growth. 27 28 Councilmember Knight stated whatever they do has to meet the demands of high school kids and 29 senior citizens as well. He noted pickleball has exploded and they need to have courts for that. 30 Mr. Wentzell showed the design for the multi -use space and noted there will be room for pickleball 31 and other court sports in the expanded gym area. 32 33 Mr. Sutherland stated they will need to identify the specific groups and uses and allocate the space 34 accordingly in order to accommodate everyone. 35 36 Mayor Trude stated there is a shortage of ice and the hockey association has come to them to see 37 if they could get an additional sheet of ice but with this being a multi -use facility will it help them 38 out because she could see it being used for soccer and baseball in the spring and summer as well 39 as other sports when needed. Mr. Dickinson stated they would probably cross over to turf use in 40 February for soccer. Once hockey tournaments start, the space will migrate over to turf. Mr. 41 Sutherland stated there was also thought about picking up summer users but in April or May the 42 turf will come out and there will be a concrete floor and can then be used for Community Center 43 programming. 44 Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes — June 26, 2018 Page 3 1 Mr. Dickinson stated in the summer when they have the flexible programming open there was 2 thoughts of using this facility but this is not proposed to be an air-conditioned facility so it will 3 probably be warm in the building. Mr. Sutherland stated there is a potential in the summer months 4 to draw more users into the existing ice arena by having camps, tournaments and other events 5 where they could set up dryland training and other activities on the concrete floor. This could also 6 draw in some junior hockey teams from across the country. 7 8 Councilmember Bukkila asked if any down time was factored in to this. Mr. Sutherland stated he 9 figured there will be few hours, less than ten hours a week where the facility will not be used. Mr. 10 Dickinson noted the proformas are put together to be conservative. They are able to program out 11 all of that space. 12 13 There was discussion regarding the multi -use facility and how much the hockey association would 14 need to use it. 15 16 Councilmember Holthus asked if anyone has talked to the Herb Brooks Training Facility about 17 what their schedule looks like in the summer. Mr. Sutherland stated the dryland portion will be 18 used a lot. He stated he has not talked to them but his son is in a program there this summer five 19 days a week and it was his understanding they are programmed from the time they are open until 20 they close, five days a week. 21 22 Mr. Tony Peterson representing the Andover Hockey Association, reviewed the programming at 23 the Super Rink in the summer months with the Council. He understood the hockey program will 24 not have the facility all year long and would like to have dryland training in the City for their high 25 school and youth hockey players. He explained what the hockey association is looking for as far 26 as use of the facility. 27 28 Discussion continued regarding the hockey association and use of the proposed multi -use facility. 29 30 Mayor Trude stated they should discuss the meeting rooms and find out if there are any questions 31 because she has received some questions from seniors asking if they could have a sink and a 32 refrigerator in the senior meeting area for when they have pot lucks. She wondered if the 2,000- 33 foot meeting room off the food court area has a specific use. Mr. Sutherland stated they have 34 talked about having some flexibility with dividing walls to accommodate some smaller groups 35 there. 36 37 Mr. Wentzell stated he thought they needed to work on this a little more in order to get the perfect 38 size for that room and what events it will be used for. He would like to plan the space to 39 accommodate a lot of different uses. This space might be finished a little nicer than just a 40 classroom space. The amenities the Mayor mentioned such as sinks and refrigerators can be easily 41 incorporated into the plan. 42 43 There was discussion regarding the current and proposed meeting rooms and corridors. It was 44 noted there will be no change to the existing food court. Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes — June 26, 2018 Page 4 1 Mayor Trude stated they hoped the schools will be a user of the rooms as well. She thought they 2 needed to have a conversation with the schools again regarding afterschool programs and trying 3 to program activities within the Community Center for the youth. 4 5 Mr. Dickinson updated the Council on his discussion with the YMCA. He stated they are looking 6 at items but do not have any hard costs to share at this point. They are currently not able to discuss 7 their plans openly with the City. He stated they will continue to work with the local YMCA but 8 the Twin Cities YMCA is the entity that makes the major decisions about expansions. He noted 9 Alison Boes was at the meeting. He stated they will continue to work together to bring efficient 10 services to the public within the building. 11 12 Mr. Dickinson stated the YMCA did identify their top needs as fitness space, court space and the 13 need to refresh and keep current the existing facility. If it gets outdated and beat up they start 14 losing their users and their revenue stream goes down and that impacts their ability to remain 15 successful. 16 17 Mr. Dickinson stated another topic that has been discussed and has come into play is the National 18 Sports Center arena that they have available for use. He noted the City put a $250,000 deposit 19 down and the term for when that ends is the first day of January 2026. They need to give them a 20 twenty-four month notice in advance for when they want to stop that agreement with the National 21 Sports Center for that quarter sheet of ice. What they get is a guaranteed 335 prime time hours for 22 the Andover Hockey Association. If the hockey association did not do the minimum they would 23 have to guarantee payment for 215 hours. This has never been an issue and he did not believe it 24 would be an issue going forward. 25 26 Mayor Trude asked if the hockey association would need more ice if they were to get the additional 27 facility built. Mr. Peterson discussed their programming and kids, the more kids that come into 28 the program, the more ice time they will need. He stated they are busting at the seams right now. 29 30 Councilmember Knight asked if they had any social center for seniors or for preschool. Mr. 31 Dickinson stated a part of the mix is they are focusing on seniors and teens with the YMCA and 32 to some extent to the west of the facility, something could also be done there. They are looking 33 for their partnership to continue and expand with the YMCA. 34 35 Mr. Dickinson reviewed the financial information, including the operational costs with the 36 Council. 37 38 Mr. Dickinson stated the more components the better the bottom line is for operations, but it does 39 increase the debt service load to the residents. 40 41 Mayor Trude stated in the past they have collected Capital Contributions so she thought they could 42 publish in their newsletter that contributions are welcome for this addition to the Community 43 Center. 44 Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes —June 26, 2018 Page 5 There was discussion regarding what the tax base was and how the expansion would increase property taxes and by how much per household, approximately. 4 Mayor Trude stated another source of funding could be park dedication money. She stated she 5 asked Mr. Dickinson previously to figure out if there was anything feasible in the park dedication 6 area for indoor recreation. She stated she would entertain a discussion with the Park and 7 Recreation Commission and the Council at a future workshop meeting for a potential park 8 dedication funding source for the multi -use facility. 9 10 Mayor Trude stated they had a lot of snow this past spring where the kids were inside a lot for 11 practices using artificial turf and she thought a multi-purpose facility would be useful for when 12 they cannot practice outdoors. Councilmember Bukkila stated one of the things that came out of 13 a previous task force was recognition that artificial turf wasn't necessary because they had the 14 ability to add outdoor fields to their roster and since the Park and Recreation Commission has had 15 conversations with turf experts to find out what the proper location was for fields and based on the 16 long term they came up with the need for a number of soccer fields or football and lacrosse fields 17 to accommodate the activities. The Council determined that as long as there was the ability to put 18 in additional outdoor fields that was cheaper for them and what the associations felt was prudent. 19 20 Park and Recreation Commissioner Ted Butler stated his recollection from that task force is they 21 were looking at the time at the long-term damage to the grass turf they already have on the fields. 22 They were having difficulty accommodating all of the associations at the time. One of the thoughts 23 was to look at artificial turf. He stated they did also at the time say they needed to keep looking at 24 this issue. 25 26 There was discussion regarding Park and Recreation Commission discussion regarding fields and 27 adding more fields to accommodate the associations that need them. 28 29 Mr. Dickinson reviewed current Community Center updates and repairs needed. He stated the 30 total when added up is approximately $2.5 million. Necessary repairs to the existing facility are 31 approximately $1.5 million. 32 33 Councilmember Bukkila asked if those repair amounts are included in the proposed expansion. 34 Mr. Dickinson stated the repairs would be added to the project and included with the debt. 35 36 Mr. Dickinson stated the Council could be looking at a $20 million bond. If the option was looking 37 at the multi-purpose and additional meeting rooms and defer everything else, they would be 38 looking at approximately a $15 million bond. If they were looking to add just the meeting rooms 39 and field house they would be looking at approximately a $10 million bond. If they were just 40 looking at the meeting rooms and deferred maintenance the approximate amount would be a $5 41 million bond. 42 43 Councilmember Bukkila asked for clarification on what is included in each package. Mr. 44 Dickinson reviewed the costs for each package with the Council indicating each component has a Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes — June 26, 2018 Page 6 range of costs and need further refining. 3 Mayor Trude asked the Andover YMCA Executive Director, Allison Boes if she could give the 4 Council some input on what involvement the YMCA would like to have with the expansion. 5 Mayor Trude said the YMCA reassurance would help the Council's decision. Mr. Dickinson 6 stated he talked with the YMCA Corporate today and they have indicated they would like to partner 7 with the City on new joint space. Their focus is to get fitness, court space and making sure they 8 are updating and that their facility is meeting the needs of their users. Mayor Trude stated that 9 does not answer any of the Council's questions. Mr. Dickinson stated if the YMCA will be adding 10 space there will be parking allocation. He stated at this point in time the YMCA cannot commit 11 to what their expansion will be. They have to go through their Board to discuss and to get a 12 decision before they can go public. Mayor Trude stated they were at all of the meetings in the 13 talks about space during the original building planning. She did not think the numbers were hard 14 numbers if they are potential players. Mr. Dickinson stated he knew they were going to be players 15 but what they could commit to at this time is not known. 16 17 Councilmember Knight requested they take a break. Mayor Trude stated they would recess for 18 ten to fifteen minutes. 19 20 RECESS 21 22 The City Council recessed at 7:53 p.m. 23 24 RECONVENE 25 26 The City Council reconvened at 8:05 p.m. 27 28 DISCUSS POTENTL4L COMMUNITY CENTER EXPANSION— continued 29 30 Mr. Dickinson stated he did not want the Council to get hung up on specific costs, he really wanted 31 them to focus on the three components and which components they would want to do. He was not 32 sure without refining the design how the component amounts will shake out, the amounts presented 33 at this time are in a range. The amounts could change and if they can get an actual number they 34 will tell the Council what the specific tax impact is. Right now, this is high level estimating to 35 help try to facilitate a decision. He thought what they needed to focus on when looking at the 36 components is the ranges. He would like the Council to determine what components are really 37 needed and what components could be cut out of the expansion discussion, if anything. He stated 38 staff is looking for more direction. 39 40 Mayor Trude stated RJM has been working with staff on this and she wondered why the costs were 41 so high. Mr. Brad Barickman, RJM Construction, stated the ranges are based on a number of 42 different layouts and not just the layouts the Council is seeing this evening. There were versions 43 that were condensed on square footage and the one before the Council is the ultimate layout plan. 44 That price range reflects all of the different layouts. Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes—June 26, 2018 Page 7 Councilmember Knight stated they have to be able to tell the taxpayer what it is going to cost them, not a range. Mr. Dickinson stated that is correct but until he knows what component the Council wants to build he cannot give that answer as there are variables if one component goes versus another. 6 Mr. Barickman stated the lower cost version of the plan eliminated square footage from the one 7 they are currently seeing. The smaller the square footage the lower the cost. 9 Mr. Jim Stiller, realtor, stated he wanted to look at the small return on investment from the realtor 10 side. He stated he went back three years from today and looked at the community boundaries. He 11 reviewed the new construction home sales and existing home sales. He is going off of school 12 district boundary sales. He stated in Andover they have sold 1,171 homes in the last three years 13 in the Andover High School district. The average homes sales have been $307,000 per sale. He 14 reviewed the Andover average sales compared to surrounding communities. He stated they are 15 seeing a lot of people moving into the community solely based on the amenities they have here. 16 All these facets put together make the community what it is. He stated the residents in the Andover 17 community are getting a lot for their investment compared to other communities because of what 18 Andover has for amenities. He stated in his opinion if they keep investing in amenities the 19 community will benefit. If taxes go up anywhere from $118 to $252, in retrospect the resale value 20 and home values will keep increasing to more than compensate for the taxes going up. 21 22 Commissioner Butler stated he hears from people all over the metro area what great amenities 23 Andover has, especially the Community Center. He stated the communities where people want to 24 live and thrive in are communities that have invested in themselves. He thought they had the 25 opportunity here that they had fifteen years ago and took advantage of and now they have the 26 opportunity to take that next step and say to the new families over the next five to ten years that 27 Andover still cares about the residents by making sure it has a passive service to all of the residents 28 from youth to senior. 29 30 Park and Recreation Commissioner Ted Butler stated he is a hockey parent and sometimes he has 31 to go outside of the City for hockey practice. Andover Hockey Association is spending about half 32 of its time outside of the City. As a baseball coach this year his team alone spent $1,800 for indoor 33 space because they did not have any turf available. He stated if they can keep the sports in Andover 34 it will benefit the restaurants in the City and the shopping in the City. He thought this was an 35 opportunity for the City that should be taken. 36 37 Commissioner Butler stated with the expansion they could offer daytime youth camps and offer 38 indoor space for weather events or a combination of outdoor space and indoor space for different 39 sports. 40 41 Mr. Peterson stated he echoed Commissioner Butler's comments. The very reason his family came 42 to Andover was the Community Center, the schools and the open space. The culmination of all 43 three of them were what brought him to Andover. The Community Center is spectacular. There 44 seems to be a flood of young families coming to Andover and looking at what they have and he Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes—June 26, 2018 Page 8 1 thought they had an opportunity here to almost double down on that. He encouraged the Council 2 to go for the opportunity this presents. As far as the Super Rink there is a good chance they will 3 solicit other communities, other associations and other programs to sell more ice. They are getting 4 to the point where they could have to turn youth away because they do not have the capacity to 5 keep all of the kids because there is not enough ice in the community. He stated the sport of hockey 6 is growing and they are trying to accommodate all of the kids. They have practices with two to 7 three teams on the same ice at the same time. 9 Mr. Tony Howard stated he has lived in Andover for a long time. He stated they have high quality 10 homes and a good quality school system. He stated this is taking the next step in being proactive 11 and they are going to see huge growth. He thought they were investing in the future of their 12 community and keeping their housing stock high. 13 14 Ms. Boes stated they are excited to be partners with Andover. She stated as the City moves 15 forward, their goal is to continue to serve the community of Andover. She stated she cannot talk 16 about specific YMCA building components at this time. 17 18 Councilmember Goodrich stated he wanted to stick to the purpose of the question on the table. He 19 stated there is one non -user group that is largely under represented and that is the resident who 20 will not be using the facility but will still be paying for it. This is not only going to be paid for by 21 the users, it will be paid for by everyone in the City. He wanted to make sure that was a big part 22 of his decision. He explained how he came around with his decision and his philosophy of being 23 a Councilmember. He thought this project was very expensive and did not benefit everyone in the 24 community. He stated they will be asking the entire community to pay for this expansion even if 25 they will not use it. He wanted to make sure the citizens of Andover understood that they are 26 currently on the hook for the current Community Center debt until 2031. They will be paying for 27 that in addition to what could potentially be coming down the road. He indicated he was having a 28 difficult time being societies engineer where he is going to take resources and give them to one set 29 of activities for children or adults at the expense of other children's and adults activities. He noted 30 he had a hard time doing that. He thought all of the arguments have been made. He would like to 31 put this item to a referendum note. They will be having a mid-term election in November which 32 will give them time to get the information out to the community and they can then let the residents 33 vote to determine what should be done. He would be in favor of that. 34 35 Councilmember Holthus stated she was on the task force for the original Community Center and 36 also on the fundraising committee to get funds pledged to build the Community Center and she 37 remembered originally when Mr. Howard and herself were on those committees and they worked 38 long and hard to get the Community Center off the ground. She stated the Community Center has 39 been such a plus for their City. She stated she is interested in spending money to design the plans 40 and then decide what options they should move forward with. She stated on the west side with the 41 meeting rooms if that lobby could be a little smaller they could save some money on square footage 42 and the meeting room could also be a little smaller as well to save money. The other component 43 she thought was important was on the east side to have a teen center. She thought a teen center 44 was very important because being next to a school, when it lets out for the day the kids do not have Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes —June 26, 2018 Page 9 1 anywhere to go and will end up going somewhere and doing something. Kids have always been 2 her number one priority. She is dedicated to having things available for teens. They could share 3 the common area with the seniors. 4 5 Councilmember Knight thought Andover was very unique in a lot of ways and their Community 6 Center combined with a YMCA is being looked at all over the country because it is working very 7 well. He stated what they are seeing in Andover today is two issues, the senior citizens are a large 8 number and they have their needs and wants and the teenagers which are another factor. They 9 need to try to provide something for both of those groups. He would be strongly in favor of a teen 10 center and senior center. 11 12 Councilmember Bukkila stated they were looking at amenities for residents of the City. They were 13 looking at what was currently out there and what needed to be added. She stated one thing they 14 noticed is there is nothing for the preteen group and she was looking at a teen center. She thought 15 that would fill the gap. It would also be a place for the non -athlete to hang out and do their activity. 16 They have parks, trails and fields for the athletes but not really anything for the non -athlete. She 17 was looking at this to fill a need. She stated she is not comfortable with this in its entirety. She is 18 not comfortable with the field house. She is ok with the teen and senior centers because they fill 19 gaps. 20 21 Councilmember Knight stated one of the other things that has grown in the last couple of years is 22 girls' athletics and girls' hockey. 23 24 Mayor Trude stated one of their highest priority goals is to ensure City Services, to keep pace with 25 the City's growing and changing population and she thought they have done a great job with 26 extending their services in the parks. They have added thousands of people and at least a couple 27 thousand homes and girls' hockey has just barely started and they already have a gold medalist 28 girls hockey player and she feels people will be happy to hear that they will provide local ice so 29 the girls can have time on the ice in the City. She stated their City does not have two sheets of ice 30 like other cities and only a quarter ice at the Super Rink. She stated she supported the extra sheet 31 with the multi-purpose space and loved the opportunities and options it provides for spring sports. 32 The only part of this she is not comfortable moving forward with is the gym. She would like to 33 see the drawings move forward but pare down the gymnasium. She would like them to discuss 34 with the School District programs that could be provided to the youth. She would like to see plans 35 with one or two open spaces and for the budget to come in close to $12 million. She would also 36 like to see the Park and Recreation Commission review the park dedication and see if there could 37 be some money dedicated for this project. She thought the Community Center is a strong 38 community amenity. She thought keeping kids active and out of trouble is important. They do 39 not provide a recreation program, they are very low taxed and have a very efficient staff. She 40 thought they were ready to move ahead with some more drawings and pricing. 41 42 The Council further discussed how staff should move forward in getting the Council information. 43 44 Councilmember Goodrich stated he supported designing the whole expansion but the decision to Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes—June 26, 2018 Page 10 1 finally pull the trigger needs to be decided by everybody because it is going to be paid for by so 2 many people that are not going to use this. Councilmember Bukkila noted that there are still 3 residents upset with having to pay for the initial build of the Community Center because they do 4 not use it. 5 6 Mayor Trude indicated she would not support a referendum. 7 8 There was further discussion on what the Council would like to see with the expansion plan. 9 Mayor Trude stated she wanted to stick with $12 million maximum. 10 11 The Council agreed to move forward with design/development plans for review. 12 13 AMY20I8BUDGET PROGRESS REPORT 14 15 Mr. Dickinson indicated this item is informational only and if the Council has questions to contact 16 him. 17 18 MAY20I8CITY INVESTMENTS REVIEW 19 20 Mr. Dickinson indicated this item is informational only and if the Council has questions to contact 21 him. 22 23 OTHER TOPICS 24 25 None. 26 27 ADJOURNMENT 28 29 Motion by Knight, Seconded by Bukkila, to adjourn.

' FROM: Stephanie L. Hanson, City Planner 9 SUBJECT: Public Hearing - Vacation of Drainage and Utility Easement — 851 138th Ave NE - Craig Swalchick - Planning DATE: July 17, 2018 DISCUSSION The plat for Hills of Bunker Lake 5`h Addition was approved in May 1994. As part of the plat, Outlot A was considered buildable; however, the buildable area was small with most of the lot covered by a drainage and utility easement. In 1996, the outlot was purchased, along with the lot to the north, by Mr. Swalchick's grandparents. After the passing of the grandparents, Mr. Swalchick purchased the home and outlot. Recently, Mr. Swalchick sold the home and would like to sell the outlot, as well. To make the property more marketable, Mr. Swalchick worked with City Engineering staff and the Coon Creek Watershed District to increase the buildable area by confining the area needed for the drainage and utility easement. The buildable area will increase from 50 feet wide to approximately 65 feet wide. The site and grading work has been completed. Engineering staff approved the final grading of the lot and supports the vacation of the drainage and utility easement with the rededication of a drainage and utility easement encompassing the drainage area. ACTION REQUESTED The Council is asked to hold a public hearing and consider the proposed vacation of drainage and utility easement.

Hanson, City SUBJECT: Variance Request— 167" Ave NW/Maniteau Blvd NW — Charles Lehn DATE: July 17, 2018 INTRODUCTION The property owners/applicants submitted a variance request for the properties located at 167' Ave NW and Maniteau Blvd NW. The request is to reduce the required width of the lot(s) at the front yard setback (the width of the lot 40 feet from the right-of-way) to allow for a future lot split. DISCUSSION Variance Review The proposed variance requests are to reduce the lot width at the front yard setback from 300 feet to 100 feet for the purpose of subdividing the two (2) properties into three (3) lots. If the Variance requests are approved, the applicant will work with City staff to begin the process for the lot splits. The existing two (2) lots meet code requirements for lot width, depth and area. However, if the lot is further subdivided, each lot will require a variance for lot width at the front yard setback but will meet code requirements for fifty (50) feet width at the right-of-way. Attached is an exhibit showing the proposed variance requests. Existing and proposed lot measurements are as follows and the variances are highlighted in yellow: Code Regulations, Existing and Propose Dimensions As shown on the concept plan on page 46, the future lot split will create a landlocked property shown as Lot 4. At this time, the landowners are working with the Minnesota Land Trust about a possible Conservation Easement over the property and a trail that would link the existing neighborhood to Timber Rivers Park, as shown on attachments 43 and 44.

At this time, the landowners are working with the Minnesota Land Trust about a possible Conservation Easement over the property and a trail that would link the existing neighborhood to Timber Rivers Park, as shown on attachments 43 and 44. If the parcel is obtained M by an environmental agency, the access easement will be required over the trail easement. The land trust will allow for passive recreation; however, they will reestablish native vegetation and wetlands. If the land trust does not obtain Lot 4, the property must be combined with an adjacent property as to not create a landlocked parcel. This will be an item that will continue to be discussed between staff and the property owners. Review Criteria The Andover Comprehensive Plan and other adopted plans, such as the Transportation Plan; and City Codes must be taken into consideration when granting Variances. All of which are interrelated; therefore, the cause and effect of each topic must be considered when decisions are made. Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan describes goals, objectives and policies that must be taken into consideration when the City is planning for the future of the community. The following goals pertain to the proposed request and have been attached for your review: Land Use Goals, Objectives and Policies Goal: Allow residential growth while maintaining the quality of natural resources and amenities. The land owners are currently working with a conservation agency to possibly place a conservation easement on the northern most lot (4). The Conservation Easement would protect the resources and the property would be enhanced by planting native vegetation and restoring natural wetlands. Lots within the Rum River development area must be a minimum of four (4) acres. Each of the proposed lots meet the minimum lot size requirement so the density requirement is being met. The natural resources (i.e. trees, bluffs, wetlands, floodplain) will be maintained and further protected through City Codes. Transportation Goals, Objective and Policies Goal: Enhance the accessibility by providing an interconnected multi -use trail system. The proposed trail easement provides an accessible trail system that links the residential neighborhoods and park area. Parks & Open Space Goals, Objectives and Policies Goal: Promote, protect, preserve and enhance the City's natural and open space for the enjoyment of residents, protection of water and air quality and the preservation of wildlife habitat. The plan for a trail easement will provide a connection with the park and trail systems in a manner that both preserves and allows public enjoyment of the natural area. Andover Transportation Plan Like the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan, the Andover Transportation Plan also describes goals, objective and policies that need to be taken into consideration. Goal: Provide multi -model and transportation options, enhancing accessibility and providing an interconnected multi -use trail system, whenever and wherever feasible and advantageous. The proposed trail easement provides an accessible trail system that links the residential neighborhoods and park areas. City Code Variance Criteria 12-14-7 and 13-5-9 outlines criteria when considering variances. Code states "Variances may be granted when the applicant for the variance establishes that there are practical difficulties in complying with the official control. "Practical difficulties" as used in connection with the granting of a variance, means: 12-14-7 Variance Criteria A. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by an official control. Required lot widths at the public right-of-way is 50 feet. Each lot meets the required width at the right-of-way. Fifty (50) feet from the right-of-way the lot width is required to be 300 feet. The proposed lot widths of 100 feet provide ample access and room to construct homes while still leaving enough of a buffer space between the neighboring properties. • Obtaining an additional building pad will not alter the character of the neighborhood. Without the variance, lots 1 & 3 buildable area will remain in the same location. Eventually homes will be constructed on these lots. With the variance, a driveway for lot 2 will be visible; however, the building pad is set back to the west, next to the Rum River, and will not be visible from the street. B. The plight of the property owner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. • City codes continue to evolve and change over time. The land has been in the Russell family for seven (7) generations. The original land has been developed a bit at a time. During the 1960's and 70's, the one (1) acre parcels surrounding the land were developed, along with the 2 -acre parcels along the river. As codes have changed, so have the lot sizes of the surrounding parcels. • In addition, the curvature of the road at 1671 Ave NW and Maniteau is not a typical design. Curvatures in road are designed to accommodate a 30 -mph speed. The existing tight curve decreases the amount of property abutting the road. C. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality and will not alter the rural residential character. • The density requirement in the Rum River district is 4 acre minimums per lot. The approval of the variance will allow for the subdivision of the land that will create 3 — 4+ acre lots and a 20+ acre landlocked parcel which will be addressed during the lot split process. The further subdivision of the land will follow the density requirement in the rural residential/Rum River development area. • The structure setback from neighboring properties will be a great enough distance to retain the rural character and will be buffered by the existing vegetation. The lot and surrounding properties are heavily wooded. A minimal number of trees would be removed for the construction of the new home; therefore, the rural woodsy feel of the area will remain. L) • Obtaining an additional building pad will not alter the character of the neighborhood. Without the variance, lots 1 & 3 buildable area will remain in the same location. Eventually homes will be constructed on these lots. With the variance, a driveway for lot 2 will be visible; however, the building pad is set back to the west, next to the Rum River, and will not be visible from the street. 13-5-9 Bluffland and Riverland Development Variance Criteria A. Granting of the variance is not contrary to the purpose and intent of the zoning provisions herein established by these standard and criteria and is consistent with the Management Plan for the Rum River. • The variance will not increase the density within the Rum River area. Code requires each lot to be a minimum of four (4) acres. The proposed lots exceed four (4) acres in size. B. A variance may not be granted to allow any use which is not permitted or a conditional use in the Rum River land use district. • Residential development is a permitted use. C. Granting of the variance will not alter the essential character of the locality as established by the Management Plan for the Rum River. • Obtaining an additional building pad will not alter the character of the neighborhood. Without the variance, lots 1 & 3 buildable area will remain in the same location. Eventually homes will be constructed on these lots. With the variance, a driveway for lot 2 will be visible; however, the building pad is set back to the west, next to the Rum River, and will not be visible from the street. • The home on lot 2 will be visible from the river. The homes on lots 1 and 3 will be visible from the roadway. Tree Preservation/Riverland Development As shown on the attached site photos, the properties are heavily wooded; as is the surrounding neighborhood. City Code 13-5 Bluffland and Riverland Development emphasizes the preservation of trees and has strict regulations on tree removal. The vast majority of the existing vegetation on the properties is protected by code. Clear cutting is allowed in areas designated for construction. Selective (minimal) cutting and understory pruning or cutting is allowed on trees less than four (4) inches in diameter. The remaining vegetation must remain intact and protected. Andover Review Committee (ARC) Staff reviewed the variance proposal. Comments are attached for your review. Staff comments pertain to items that will need to be addressed at the time the property is further subdivided; at which time, all staff comments will need to be satisfactorily addressed. As part of the Comprehensive Plan and Andover Transportation Plan, it's a City goal to interconnect trails, parks and neighborhoods. When the residential development known as Timber River Estates (to the north) was developed, the City recommended the connection of the two (2) neighborhoods. A trail easement from Argon Street to the north would have made the connection. However, the connection was not obtained. The proposed development and trail easement dedication would complete the connection of the existing neighborhood to Timber Rivers Park and the Timber Rivers Estates neighborhood. Staff recommends the property owners continue to work with staff to ensure the proper placement for a trail easement. The attached map shows the potential trail location. 15 Agency Reviews City Code 13-5 Bluffland and Riverland Development regulates development along the Rum River in order to protect and preserve the scenic, recreational, natural, historical and scientific values of the Rum River in a manner consistent with Minnesota Statutes and the Management Plan for the Rum River. The City of Andover is the governing unit to administer the code. As part of the administration process, the City is required to notify the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR) of all land use requests within the Rum River development area. The public hearing notice and staff report were sent to the Area Hydrologist; in which a thirty (30) day review period for the proposal is required. At this time, MNDNR acknowledged the request but did not provide staff with comments. If the variances are granted, the applicant will be required to submit an application to the Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization (LRRWMO) and obtain a permit prior to any land disturbance of one (1) acre and greater. Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation A public hearing was held at the June 12, 2018 Commission meeting. A draft of the meeting minutes is attached for your review. There were many public comments regarding the following: • Concerns regarding a lot width smaller than 200 feet at the front yard setback • A Ramsey resident had concerns about the close proximity of the future home on Lot 2 next to the river • Resident withdrew his name from the petition because he no longer supports a lot width less than 200 feet The Commission had discussion regarding who will manage the conservation easement and trail; buildability of the lots; surrounding lot sizes and the location of the property owners that signed the petition in support of the requests. The first motion resulted in a 3 -3 vote. During the discussion, two (2) Commissioner's switched votes to deny the Variance in order to move the application forward to the City Council; although they were not necessarily in full agreement of a denial recommendation. NEXT STEP If the variances are granted, the lot split will be completed administratively. The applicant will be required to submit grading plans, soil borings, tree protection plan, and surveys. The survey must reflect trail location. A wetland delineation has been completed and is under review by the LRRWMO. The applicant and City staff will continue to work together to ensure the goals of the Comprehensive Plan are met; and Commission, Council and staff comments are satisfactorily addressed. ACTION REQUESTED The City Council is requested to review the variance requests, take into consideration public comments, Commission recommendation and approve or deny the request, based on findings of fact. Although the Commission recommended denial, Staff drafted a resolution of approval with potential findings of fact. If City Council approves the Variance requests, then the applicant will work with staff to begin the process of the lot split. If the Council desires to deny the variance requests, staff suggests the City Council direct staff to draft a resolution of denial for consideration at the next City Council meeting, based on the evening's discussion.

Each lot meets the required width at the right-of-way. Fifty (50) feet from the right-of-way the lot width is required to be 300 feet. The proposed lot widths of 100 feet provide ample access and room to construct homes while still leaving enough of a buffer space between the neighboring properties. Obtaining an additional building pad will not alter the character of the neighborhood. Without the variance, lots 1 & 3 buildable area will remain in the same location. Eventually homes will be constructed on these lots. With the variance, a driveway for lot 2 will be visible; however, the building pad is set back to the west, next the Rum River, and will not be visible from the street. There will be one (1) visible home from the river view. • City codes continue to evolve and change over time. The land has been in the Russell family for seven (7) generations. The original land has been developed a bit at a time. During the 1960's and 70's, the one (1) acre parcels surrounding the land were developed, along with the 2 -acre parcels along the river. As codes have changed, so have the lot sizes of the surrounding parcels. • The structure setback from neighboring properties will be a great enough distance to retain the rural character and will be buffered by the existing vegetation. • The lot and surrounding properties are heavily wooded. A minimal number of trees would be removed for the construction of the new home; therefore, the rural woodsy feel of the area will remain. • Lot widths of neighboring properties range from 181 feet to 500+ feet. Although lot widths vary in the area, the rural woodsy feel of the area remains intact. • Residential development is a permitted use. • The variance will not increase the density within the Rum River area. Code requires each lot to be a minimum of four (4) acres. The proposed lots exceed four (4) acres in size. WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council acknowledge the dedication of a trail easement will meet the goals within the Andover Comprehensive Plan and Andover Transportation Plan to provide an accessible trail link between an existing park and neighborhoods for passive recreational purposes. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Andover hereby approves the variances with the following conditions: 1. The lot splits must be approved within one year of the approval of the variances. Variance approvals will be invalid after such time. 2. Trail easement location must be determined by staff and dedicated to the City at the time of the approval and filed with Anoka County. 3. Proposed lot 4 must be combined with an existing lot or be placed in control and managed by an environmental agency; provided a recreational trail easement is allowed. 4. Lot split approval is contingent upon adhering to all other city requirements being met for lot splits. Adopted by the City Council of the City of Andover this _ day of 2018.

Iq J y 2 June 2018 tai .a CL Planning Commission/Planning staff Q City or Andover Re: Russell/Lehn Property PIN# 12-32-25-31-0024, and PIN# 12-32-25-33-0015 This letter serves to request the City of Andover to review and approve the variance application submitted for the Russell/Lehn property. The proposed land change has three planned parcels that meet criteria for lots adjacent to the river including adequate building pad square footage and primary and secondary septic sites, four acre minimum plots, river bluff and all other set- backs except the lineal frontage requirement at the front setback. The current required 300' lineal frontage at the set back (50') is requested to be approved at 100' lineal frontage and a variance is sought by the owners in order create these three lots. The 100 lineal feet does not adversely affect any of the three lots and there is ample space to accommodate driveways and maintenance areas in each of the proposed lots. The proposed lots' lineal frontage measurements will resemble other grandfathered lots in the neighborhood and will not be an unordinary characteristic to the neighborhood. Along with the planned parcels, the owners wish to provide a trail easement to the City of Andover,(should the City decide to accept) that would connect the existing neighborhood to Timber River Park and its respective neighborhood in order to make a scenic trail connection and provide for a recreation amenity to the Community. The City would undertake at some point in the future, the cost of construction of said trail, however a 15' trail easement would be provided and cross lower river bottom portions of the land. It is proposed that this trail be created as a Veteran's Memorial Scenic Rum River trail in special remembrance of its past owner WWII Marine Corp Warrant Officer Clyde A. Russell and his loving wife Mary A. Russell. The owners would request the City to consider 1.5 park dedication credits to be granted towards the donation of said easement to be an amount in lieu of paying full park dedication credits on proposed three parcels. Should the variance be approved, the owners would like to discuss with the City of Andover other options in purchasing remaining acres of land. The owners request the Planning Commission recommend the City Council approve said variance and consider trail easement option. Thank you for your consideration.

Variance Request to reduce the required width at the front yard setback from 300 feet to 200 feet -167" Avenue NW and Maniteau Blvd. NW. Chairperson Nemeth stated since he knows a party to the applicant, he will recuse himself from commenting and voting on this item but will still direct the meeting. l,�O Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —June 12, 2018 Page 3 City Planner Hanson noted the purpose of this item is to hold a public hearing and take input on a variance request for the properties located at 167`h Avenue NW and Maniteau Boulevard NW to reduce the required width of the lots at the front yard setback to allow for a future lot split. City Planner Hanson reviewed the proposed variance request with the Commission. The proposed variance requests are to reduce the required lot width at the front yard setback from 300 feet to 101 feet, 102 feet, and 110 feet for the purpose of subdividing the two properties into three lots. Per City Code, a property must have a 50 -foot width at the street. She stated each of the lots would meet that requirement. City Planner Hanson noted the existing two lots meet Code requirements for lot width, depth, and area. However, if the lots are further subdivided, each lot will require a variance for lot width at the front yard setback but will meet Code requirements of 50 - foot lot width at the right-of-way. She presented an exhibit showing the proposed variance request and sizes of surrounding City Planner Hanson explained that as •shown on the concept lot split plan, if will create a nonconforming landlocked property shown as Lot 4. At this time, the landowners are working on a possible conservation easement over the property. If the land trust does not obtain Lot 4, the property must be combined with the property to the north or an adjacent property as to not create a landlockedparcel. This item will be discussed between staff and the property owners. City Planner Hanson presented the review criteria required for variance consideration, noting the Comprehensive Plan and other adopted plans, such as the Transportation Plan and City Codes; must be taken into consideration. She noted the staff report identifies Code sections that pertain to this type of land split. City Planner Hanson stated the Comprehensive Plan describes goals, objectives, and policies that must be taken into consideration when the City is planning for the future of the community. ,She reviewed the Land Use goal is to allow residential growth while maintaining the quality of natural resources and amenities. In this case, the landowners are currently working with a conservation agency to possibly place a conservation easement on Lot 4, the northernmost lot. The conservation easement would protect the resources and the property would be enhanced by planting native vegetation and restoring natural wetlands on the property. City Planner Hanson stated the lots within the Rum River development area must be a minimum of four acres and each of the proposed lots exceed the 4 -acre minimum lot size so the density requirement is being met. City Planner Hanson explained within the Transportation section, a goal is to enhance accessibility by providing an interconnected multi -use trail system and the proposed trail easement provides an accessible trail system that links residential neighborhoods and park areas. She explained when the land to the north developed, staff wanted a trail connection at the end of Argon to connect neighborhoods. But, that connection was J-7 Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes—June 12, 2018 Page 4 never made so staff sees the benefit of taking a trail easement through Lot 4 to link the park areas if the variances are approved. City Planner Hanson stated a Parks & Open Space goal is to promote, protect, preserve, and enhance the City's natural and open space for the enjoyment of residents, protection of water and air quality, and the preservation of wildlife habitat. The proposed plan for a trail easement will provide passive recreational trails and allow public enjoyment of the natural area. City Planner Hanson stated the Transportation Plan's goals mention providing multi - model, transportation options, and enhancing an accessible trail system. The proposed trail easement will link neighborhoods and parks. City Planner Hanson stated the City Code has variance criteria as well and since this property is on the Rum River, City Code 13-5 Bluffland and Riverland Development, regulates development in order to protect and preserve the, scenic, recreational, natural, historical, and scientific values of the Rum River consistent with Statutes and the Management Plan for the Rum River. Staff talked with Mr. Lein, the applicant, to discuss the variance criteria. City Planner Hanson stated the request would use the property in a reasonable manner, the lot width is met at public right-of-way, but variances are needed at the setback. She noted the photograph in the; report shows the site is dense with vegetation and a lot of large trees. City Planner Hanson stated another thing to consider is that there would be an additional building pad if the lot split moves forward. The view looking west will see a driveway but the building pad is in the back by the River due to the contours of the land, bluff line, and flood plain. When you look at the River view, the houses on the two lots closest to the road cannot be seen from'the River. The house on Lot 2 may be able to be seen from the River. With regard to the plight of the owner, City Planner Hanson noted it is due to circumstances unique to the property and not created by the landowner. She stated the landowners have been splitting off lots, some in the 1960s and 1970s, but Codes evolve over time so the lot size requirements have changed. The land has been in this family for seven generations. City Planner Hanson addressed the density requirement on the River, noting all lots meet the 4 -acre minimum, setbacks from neighboring structures will be great enough to maintain the rural character, and the houses will be buffered by the heavily vegetated area. The site is heavily wooded and a minimal number of trees would be removed for construction. These lots have more strict standards since they are on the River and no clear cutting is allowed except on the building pad. Trees smaller than 4 inches in diameter and underbrush can be cleared. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —June 12, 2018 Page 5 City Planner Hanson stated the variance is not going to increase the density, all have 4 - acre minimums, it would be a residential development which is a permitted use in this area, and the additional building pad (Lot 2) will not alter the character of the neighborhood. City Planner Hanson noted with the Comprehensive Plan and Transportation Plan, it is the goal to interconnect trails with parks and neighborhoods. She explained when Timber Rivers, the residential development to the north, was built the City recommended the connection of the two neighborhoods; however, that trail easement was never obtained. City Planner Hanson stated for agency reviews, City Code 13-5 Bluffland and Riverland Development, regulates development along theRumRiver in a manner consistent with Minnesota Statutes and the Management Plan for the Rum Rivera The City of Andover is the governing unit to administer the Code; however, does need'to notify the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MnDNR) of land use requests on the Rum River. She stated she has notified the area hydrologist of this public hearing and provided the report. He had acknowledged receipt of the information but has not'submitted comments. City Planner Hanson described next steps if the variancesare granted. The lot split will be completed administratively. The applicant will be required to submit grading plans, soil borings, tree preservation plan, and surveys. The survey must reflect trail location. A wetland delineation has been completed and is under review by the Lower Rum River Water Management Organization (LRRWMO). The ',applicant and City staff will continue to work together to ensure the goals of the Comprehensive Plan are met and the Commission, Council, and staff comments are satisfactorily addressed. City Planner Hanson,noted the meeting information includes a resident letter of support and a petition of support. Today, staff received an e-mail which was provided to the commissioners, from one of the landowners that will become part of the public record. City Planner Hanson stated the Planning and Zoning Commission is asked to hold a public hearing for the variance requests, compare the variance requests with the review criteria of City Code 12-14-7, and make a recommendation of approval or denial based on findings of fact to the City Council. She noted staff drafted resolutions with potential findings of fact the Commission may want to consider when recommending approval or denial of the variance requests. If the City Council approves the variance requests, then the applicant will work with staff to begin the process of the lot split. Chairperson Nemeth asked if the Commissioners had questions of staff. Commissioner Koehler questioned, if there is no conservancy easement, then the lot configuration is not known. City Planner Hanson explained the lots will absorb the easement and become a little bit bigger. in Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —June 12, 2018 Page 6 Commissioner VanderLaan referenced the memo from Public Works Director/City Engineer Berkowitz addressing ownership, maintenance, and development of the trail, noting it is considered an interior trail, not identified as a regional trail. She asked how the conversancy easement will be addressed when this property is developed. She stated the report talked about the land trust, an organization tapped to assist with the trail, and asked if it is federally or privately funded. Commissioner VanderLaan stated support for the trail and linkage it would provide but asked if it would result in the City holding property it does not have funds to develop or maintain. City Planner Hanson explained this is a proposal from the landowners of the trail easement and those questions will be worked out with the City Council and property owner as to who will develop, own, and maintain the trail. Commissioner Sims asked about the zoning of surrounding lots. City Planner Hanson displayed a zoning map and stated it is all Rural Residential. Commissioner Sims asked if .7 acre lots were the standard at the time it was developed,, City Planner Hanson stated she does not know but now the lots range from 1.5 acres to 2 acres and others along the River are 4 acres. Motion by Daninger, seconded by Sims, to open the public hearing at 7:37 p.m. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1 -present (Nemeth),'0-absent vote. Charles Lehn, 499 165th Avenue NW, stated he is representing his family in this request. He stated he is in the'seventh-generation ownership with this property and represents part of 160 years of heritage on these properties, which goes back to their relatives who came from Ireland to , find a better way of life. The owners now would like to relinquish ownership of some of their properties and are asking the Planning Commission to consider that their family has been there for auite some time and would like to retain portions or me property. With regard to the Conservancy for Lot 4, Mr. Lehn explained that would be addressed by the owners who are negotiating with the Minnesota Land Trust. He noted the owners had started with five lots but they were nonconforming, so the request was reduced to four lots to meet the City's criteria and retain as much property as possible while selling three lots to obtain as much'opportunity as possible. They have already taken steps with the delineation. With the trail, there have been questions whether the City would be interested in purchasing that piece of land but that did not occur. However, they are aware of the desire to connect the two neighborhoods and propose a 15 -foot trail to connect the two neighborhoods. He stated the property owners request the Planning Commission recommend a veterans' memorial scenic river trail in special consideration of his grandfather, a WWII veteran, and his loving wife. Mr. Lehn stated the Minnesota Land Trust is very interested in this property and seeking other properties along the Rum River so he is in continuous discussion with them and will let them know of the decision tonight. M Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —June 12, 2018 Page 7 Mr. Lehn thanked City Planner Hanson for her assistance in getting to this point, noting the trail can also provide a community amenity that will last forever as they will dedicate the easement. But they are not in a position to develop the trail. He stated if approved, this would have to be brought forward to the Park & Recreation Commission, so it can be included in the Comp Plan that is currently being updated. Commissioner Daninger stated he understands the cost of the trail and asked if the variance is not granted and two lots are conforming, would the property owners still dedicate the trail in honor of his grandfather, a WWII veteran. Mr. Lehn stated that has not yet been discussed with the owners, noting they are trying to maximize the benefits of the property. Commissioner Daninger stated this property has been in the fancily for a long time and asked if the land with such rich history, is for sale to the family or Will it be on the open market. Mr. Lehn stated the property has not yet been appraised so that will be considered in due time but to sell on the open market is one;ootion. Chairperson Nemeth invited the public to come forward to make comment. John Sweigert, 16636 Maniteau Boulevard; stated he lives two doors down and asked if the variance is for a 200 -foot lot width or 100 -foot lot width. City Planner Hanson stated there was a typo in the letter and clarified it is three lots 100 feet at the front yard setback. Mr. Sweigert stated he has resided there for 20 years and loves the rural area. Before, he lived in Champlin on the Mississippi River where there was a similar situation. However, Champlin had sewer and water so that area has now been redeveloped into 100 -foot lots: Mr. Sweigert stated he had contacted the Met Council to ask when sewer would be coming to this property, in Andover and was told 20 years, which has come and gone. He asked if the City is prepared if he or others also want to split their lot. Frank Skubitz, 16648 Maniteau Boulevard NW, stated he lives to the south of the property under discussion. He stated they built their house, moved in 1983, and raised their family. Thay..also purchased an additional pie -shaped lot in 2016 with an additional 100 feet of River frontage and large trees. Mr. Skubitz stated he purchased in this neighborhood because of the lifestyle it allows with nature, quietness, and easy access to roads to get to work. He stated when he saw the variance sign on the property, he wasn't sure why it was needed unless it was for two lots on Maniteau Boulevard. If that were the case, then he wouldn't be here tonight but then he got the notice and learned it was for three properties. Mr. Skubitz stated he talked to a family member and two neighbors and found the property still met the de facto original standard of 200 feet of frontage on the road. He stated if that was the case, he doesn't have a problem with the variance. But, he talked with the City Planner on June 4 about the variance and frontage and on Wednesday, the City Planner gave him the frontage dimensions. Mr. Skubitz stated he has no issue with �1 Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —June 12, 2018 Page 8 the property being sold and not meeting the 300 -foot standard and appreciates staggering the home locations but his question is three lots being jammed in with a variance, which is not appropriate with the neighborhood and sets a negative precedent with other lots in Andover where de facto standards are not being met. Mr. Skubitz stated he supported the trail as there are a lot of pedestrians in the neighborhood and it would be a nice tie into another neighborhood. Barbara Anderson, 5421 165'h Lane NW, Ramsey, stated her concern is the location of the future house closest to the River. She asked about the setback from the water as it is across from her house. She stated she has had her house for 30 years and loves the scenic waterway, deer, owls, and eagle nests in the location of the future house. Ms. Anderson stated it is not unusual for her to see 15 to 30 deer in the wintertime and she is concerned about losing the wildlife. Also, when using the River, she would like it to still appear very wild and not a view of houses. Ms. Anderson stated she keeps her land as scenic as possible with wildflowers. She asked how close the future house will be to the River. City Planner Hanson stated she does not recall and that would be part of the lot split consider Mr. Lehn stated it is 150 feet from Ms. Anderson stat back from the RiIV City Planner Hans setbacks would be Ms. Anderson: , it wa so it to be met. She it will meet the setbacks 1 to be 400 feet back and wants it as far atural, wild, and beautiful as it is now. use would be decided by the owner and she will verify that distance and inform Mr. Lehn stated it is their intent to preserve as much nature as possible and the only trees anticipated to be cleared.are for the building pad. That is also why they are working with the Minnesota Land Trust to create.a conservancy. He stated the request for three lots is not unreasonable, so he hopes that is what the Planning Commission will consider John Sweigert, 16636 Maniteau Boulevard, stated he will withdraw his name from the petition because he thought it was for a 200 -foot lot width. Chairperson Nemeth again asked if there was additional public input. He acknowledged the e-mail received from Rosella (Russell) Baker, one of the current owners, in support of the variance requests that is part of the public record. Motion by Daninger, seconded by VanderLaan, to close the public hearing at 8:00 p.m. Motion carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, 1 -present (Nemeth), 0 -absent vote. Commissioner Daninger referenced the map and asked where the addresses are located for those who signed the petition, noting not many properties are adjacent to the variance MI Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —June 12, 2018 Page 9 request. City Planner Hanson stated she spoke with the property owner across the street who supported the variance if the property is not clear cut. Commissioner Koehler asked whether that neighbor was aware the variance was for a 100 foot width. City Planner Hanson answered in the affirmative. Commissioner Koehler stated the property owner can build a home currently on Lot 2 without any variances. City Planner Hanson confirmed that was correct. Commissioner Koehler noted whether or not the variances are approved, that house can be built. City Planner Hanson confirmed that Lots 1 and 3 both have building pads. Commissioner Koehler asked if setbacks Ramsey. City Planner Hanson stated thi home in Ramsey would be closer to the 1 Hanson stated that is correct. River change between Andover and Commissioner Koehler asked if no this one can be placed. City Planner Commissioner Hudson asked if there are many properties that could meet'the size criteria and be split into two lots with 100 -foot setbacks. City Planner Hanson stated there are not, as most are at 1 acre and a 2:5 acre minimum is required in Rural Residential. Also, along the River you need 4 acres. Commissioner VanderLaan stated it is noteworthy that 50 years ago in April, the Wild and Scenic River Act was passed by the national government to protect our riverways. Now, the Planning Commission. has an example in front of them and a comment by Ramsey to protect the river. She noted there is a delineation line to protect the wildlife and waterway, which is federal law so a home cannot be built in that area. Commissioner VanderLaan stated year later, the Shoreland rezoning stopped a lot of things and helped protect the River, noting the 4 -acre requirement preserves wetlands, trees, and the desire of long-term residents to protect and preserve this property. Commissioner VanderLaan stated she supports the proposal as it is Commissioner Loehlein stated from his perspective, he is supportive of the variance as it maintains the 4 acres and does not violate intended density. He noted the unique nature of Maniteau Boulevard and 1`67°i Avenue coming together in a point, which creates a challenge with the shape of the lot, so approval would not set a precedent. He stated not meeting the 300 -foot lot width requirement is not a problem because what is seen from the road is the driveway. Commissioner Koehler stated at the last meeting, the Planning Commission considered a similar issue for a Planned Urban Development where the main issue was the front setback being too small and the Commission voted against it based mainly on that issue. He noted the requested front setback in this application, when compared to the other properties along the same street, is about one-third smaller. Commissioner Koehler stated he wanted to raise a challenge by asking what is different about this setback being okay. 93 Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes—June 12, 2018 Page 10 Commissioner Loehlein stated for him, this request does not alter the character of the neighbor and it is only at the end of the driveway where it could be seen. In addition, this request is for three lots as opposed to 30 -some lots. Commissioner Koehler stated he wrestles with Mr. Lehn's comment that he was here long before the City and while that does not mean the family has special or different rights than others, it should be noted and taken into account that they could have done this long ago before the City was incorporated, or the laws were enacted. He noted this is a hodgepodge neighborhood, but he thinks this proposal breaks up the front lot line along the street. But when you take the neighborhood at a larger, scale, then it fits as it is a hodgepodge neighborhood. Commissioner Koehler stated at this point, he is undecided. Commissioner Sims stated his concern is the fourth lot to the north and not knowing what will be happening with it at this time. He stated he would feel better voting on this once it is known what will happen or if it will be sold to the Minnesota Land Trust. If not sold, he asked if the Planning Commission would again see this request. City Planner Hanson explained the approval resolution addresses what would have to happen with Lot 4. In addition, the two lots would not change if the Minnesota Land Trust does not take Lot 4. It would be absorbed by the other two lots. She stated either way, it -will not come before the Planning Commission as it would be an administrative lot split. Commissioner VanderLaan thanked Commissioner Koehler for the challenge and noted in retrospect, all were struggling to figure out the PUD at the last meeting. She stated it was not the setback she voted against but the density. She stated she looks at this density as being a large piece of land, but she does not want to see more lots in this area and the Planning, Commission is only addressing the variance request to the setback at this time, not the trail issue. She stated the Planning Commission has to ask if it is or is not Mr. Lehn offered a clarification that if they worked with the Minnesota Land Trust, the property owner would retain ownership of Lot 4. They do not intend to sell the conservancy easement to the Minnesota Land Trust. Commissioner Sims referenced Page 3 detailing City Code criteria to consider a variance requiring practical difficulties. He stated the applicant has indicated they want to get the most out of this opportunity, so he questioned whether that is a practical difficulty or if it is the pie -shape of the lot that creates the difficulty. Commissioner Koehler stated he wrestles with the same question. Oq Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes—June 12, 2018 Page 11 Commissioner Loehlein noted the draft resolution recommending approval of the variances contains findings of fact to support the approval. If the Planning Commission supports recommending denial, rational would need to be added to that draft resolution. Motion by Loehlein, seconded by VanderLaan, to recommend to the City Council approval of variance requests to reduce the required width at the front yard setback from 300 feet to 100 feet for the purpose of subdividing the two properties into three lots at 167th Avenue NW and Maniteau Boulevard NW. Motion ,;failed on a 3 -ayes (Loehlein, Hudson, VanderLaan), 3 -nays (Daninger, Koehler, Sims), 1 -present (Nemeth), 0 -absent vote. Commissioner Daninger stated he is very when the property can remain as two lots. gain to get three lots. In addition, two lot ownership would stay in the family but tb a large variance and even though it may lc the reason for a variance .,e to create economic d appease. He stated he had asked if the no bearing on his vote He stated this is ,d, he will: follow the Commissioner Koehler referenced the comment by Commissioner Sims asking about the rationale for the variance, which he finds is to sell three;,lots. He noted the two lots can still be built on and the conversancy can still be created. Commissioner Koehler stated if the request had been to cut the requirement by a couple feet, that would be okay, but this is a massive change. He does not see anything here but economic gain to sell three lots instead of two lots and the conversancy is not part of the variance consideration. Chairperson Nemeth stated the Planning Commission is at an impasse and asked whether one member would need to change their position, or another motion presented. Motion by Koehler, seconded by Sims, to recommend to the City Council denial of variance, requests to reduce the required width at the front yard setback from 300 feet to 100 feet for the purpose of subdividing, the two properties into three lots at 167`h Avenue NW and Maniteau Boulevard NW, based on the following rationale: 1. The variances,would alter the nature of the community as the properties to the left and right down the street are significantly wider at the front and setback lines. 2. The variances would drastically alter community that values natural resources around it. 3. The variances would create more of an urban setting. Commissioner Loehlein stated he will support this motion for denial as it moves the application forward to the City Council but is not necessarily in full agreement with the rational stated by Commissioner Koehler. Commissioner VanderLaan stated that's a sensible observation because if denied, it will go to the City Council, so they can discuss it and embrace the comprehensive ideas such as preservation of land and reducing the number of lots to two rather than three. She noted obviously, there are some other considerations and a strong economic �5 Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —June 12, 2018 Page 12 consideration, so she will change her vote in order to move it to City Council to resolve the application as the Planning Commission is only advisory. Motion carried on a 5 -ayes (Daninger, Koehler, Loehlein, Sims, VanderLaan), 1 -nay (Hudson), 1 -present (Nemeth), 0 -absent vote. City Planner Hanson stated this item would be before the Council at the July 17, 2018, City Council meeting.

City Engineer DATE: X2018 REFERENCE: Lehn/Russell Property/Variance Request/Review #1 The following comments are regarding Review #1: 1. Lot 4 is proposed to be landlocked. It either would need to be attached to Lot 3, or to another existing property to the north or east that has road frontage. 2. The proposed trail shown on the plan is not identified as a regional trail in the City's Comprehensive Plan. Therefore, it would be considered an interior trail and the developer would be responsible for the cost of constructing the trail. Easement would also be required from the property to the north for the trail to extension. 3. Provide a 15' wide Vehicle Maintenance Access and Trail Easement along the east side of Lot 3 up to the northern property line. It is currently shown as 10'. Typical easement for this purpose are 20', but due to the limited lot pad space on Lot 3, 15' would be sufficient in this case. Construct a class 5 base with topsoil/seed on top. This is used to maintain a control valve that prevents water from the Rum River backflowing into the property and provides access to other storm sewer infrastructure. Moving the trail east from it's current location would require some tree removal as currently laid out. 4. A permit will be required from the Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization as more than 1 acre will be disturbed. 5. Floodway and Flood Plain boundaries and elevations must be identified on the plans. Drainage and Utility Easements shall be dedicated in all areas encompassing the 100 - year flood elevation of the Rum River (861.0). 6. Please review all City Codes for compliance. 7. Additional comments pending further review. Note: It is a requirement that the Developer respond to each of these items in writing (qet digital copy from City and type responses below original comment) when re -submitting the revised plat to the City.

Stephanie Hanson From: LeeAnn Horton <Ikhorton763@outlook.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 6, 2018 9:48 AM To: Stephanie Hanson Subject: Variance hearing For the record Harvey and I have no problem with approving the request of variances for PIN 12-32-25-31-0022 32-25-33-0025. Any further information needed from us contact us. LeeAnna Horton Sent from my iPad June 18, 2018 RE: Variance request to reduce the required width at the front yard setback from 300 feet to 200 feet -167th Avenue NW and Maniteau Blvd. NW Dear Mayor, City Counilmembers and City Planner I, Bette Frank and my husband Gerald Frank, are property owners at 5315 167th Avenue NW, Andover MN 55304. We are writing to express our deep concern about the Variance and the distubance it will cause with the excessive traffic and noise through our neighborhood. My parents never intended to have three lots on those two parcels when they developed this neighborhood. It was understood that if it were ever to be sold, it was intended to be one to two parcels with the lowland included with the second parcel to the north. Thank you for your help in this matter. Sincerely, Bette and Gerald Frank 5315 167th Avenue NW Andover MN 55304 02 June 2018 This is a request for support towards a land use change and variance in order to create three (four acre) buildable lots on the "intersection" of Maniteau Blvd and 167ie Lane NW for the property owned by Mr. and Mrs. Irwin Russell, Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Reese, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Lehn, Ms. Rosella Baker, and Ms. Gail Hemsworth, all heirs to the late Mr. and Mrs. Clyde A. Russell family. The three proposed four acre parcels, (which are portions of PIN 12-32-25-31-0024, 28.39 acres and PIN 12-32-25-33-0015, 6.86 acres) all meet lot acreage requirements, buildable house and septic square footage amounts, and all river bluff criteria except the lot width dimensions at the front setback. The minimum lineal feet per current requirements are 300' at the front setback and for these three proposed lots, the requested variance to the city is to allow a 100 lineal feet at front setback for each lot. There is no interference with driveways or any other known reason to require the arbitrary 300'. The owners therefore, are requesting a variance be granted to allow this setback dimension to be approved. Again, all other criteria to create these lots will be met per city requirements. Other lots in the area were grandfathered in and do not meet the 300' or river acreage now, and therefore this is not an unordinary characteristic for parcels in this neighborhood. The owners will also allow the City of Andover, (should it choose to do so), to utilize a trail easement that would connect the neighborhood in general to the Timber River Park to the north and its collective neighborhood community via the lower river bottom portions of the parcels. The owners would like to dedicate this trail easement for public use as the Veteran's Scenic Memorial Rum River Trail with special dedication to WWII Veteran U.S. Marine Corp Warrant Officer Clyde Russell and his loving wife Mary Russell. Please support this variance approval and the land use change associated with these parcels as the owners desire to sell their collaborative ownership in this property. Your support will be presented to the City Planning Commission and City Council in their respective meetings when this topic is addressed.

November 21, 2017 the City Council tabled action on the proposed amendments and spent several work sessions reviewing the proposal (1/23/18; 3/27/18; and 4/24/18). During the City Council review staff was directed to clean up the ordinance language to make it easier to read and comprehend, allow architectural features compatible to principal structures in lieu of prohibiting steel exterior wall sheathing ("pole sheds"). Planning and Building staff worked together and provided the attached draft ordinance to the City Council. At the April 24, 2018 City Council work session staff was directed to bring the attached draft ordinance through the adoption process for consideration. The Andover Planning and Zoning Commission held a Public Hearing on June 12, 2018 in which no public comment was received by the general public. DISCUSSION Due to the rewriting of the ordinance staff has provided a full "draft" version and the original vs. a redlined copy of the ordinance. Some highlights of draft ordinance: • Rewritten for ease of understanding; • "Shipping and Storage Containers" language added to Temporary structures; • Architecturally compatible language is included; • Language related to architectural standards for lots "less than 2.5 acres" vs. "less than 3 acres" has been modified, this change would allow for vertical steel siding on lots 2.5 acres or greater vs. the current 3 acres or greater. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ACTION The Planning and Zoning Commission meeting minutes from June 12, 2108 are attached for review. The Planning and Zoning Commission made a positive recommendation to the City Council. Discussion centered on questions related to the maximum building sizes for lots greater than 5 acres and areas not zoned R-4. The Commission's positive recommendation also included the reduction of 3 acres to 2.5 acres for allowing steel siding. ACTION REQUIRED Staff recommends the City Council consider the recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission to approve the amendments to City Code Title 12, Accessory Structures, Uses and Temporary Structures and Ordinance Summary for publication.

CONSIDER CITY CODE AMENDMENTS — TITLE 12 ZONING REGULATIONS, CHAPTER 6, ACCESSORY BUILDINGS AND TEMPORARY STRUCTURES AND ORDINANCE SUMMARYPUBLICATION Mr. Janish presented information regarding City Code amendments addressing accessory �/ structures and movable storage containers. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes —November 21, 2017 Page 4 Mayor Trude asked if all of a resident's garages together could be bigger than their house with this new proposal. Mr. Janish replied, "not necessarily." Mayor Trude then asked if the garage plus all accessory buildings could be larger than the square footage of a home, to which Mr. Janish replied, "potentially yes." He pointed out that 30% coverage of the lot size would still continue to apply. Mayor Trude asked if this would almost doubling what people can do now. Mr. Janish confirmed that was true, however, the setbacks will still have to be met. Mr. Janish reminded the Council that earlier in the year the City had a request for a variance and the Council requested that staff look into it. Mr. Janish showed what surrounding cities have in their Code on these matters. On the topic of portable storage units, known as PODs, the City is trying to make it easier for people moving to the community. The staff is proposing adding to the City Code that PODS can remain for a 30 -day timeframe and for PODS to be parked on a lot. The POD has to be on a paved surface, preserve sight -lines, and be limited to 30 days. According to the industry, they are typically on site for 1-2 weeks. If it is longer than that, it is typically stored off site. Families still have other options such as having a POD moved or renting a storage unit. Mr. Janish reported the Planning and Zoning Commission voted in favor of the changes to the City Code. Councilmember Holthus asked if this matter would be one or two motions. Mr. Janish replied it could be one motion. Mr. Janish reminded the Council any new structure built has to be in character with what has already been constructed in the neighborhood. Councilmember Bukkila asked if the topic could be moved to a workshop meeting of the Council Mayor Trude indicated she wanted to see different scenarios. Councilmember Bukkila felt more information was needed to make a fair review. Motion by Bukkila, Seconded by Holthus, to table the matter to an upcoming City Council Workshop. Motion carried 4 ayes, 1 nay (Goodrich). Mr. Janish will put some material together for the January City Council workshop meeting. Mayor Trude asked Councilmembers to forward him any questions, so he could be prepared. Mr. Dickinson encouraged concluding this by the end of February or March so residents can plan their spring projects. Mayor suggested public comments could go to City Council or Staff.

Accessory Structures/Portable Storage Units Mr. Janish stated after two variances had been granted recently by the Council, staff was provided direction on looking at increasing the square footage of allowable accessory structures. After the approved variance requests, staff was under the understanding, it was the City Council's desire to increase the square footage of allowed accessory structures within the City of Andover. Mr. Janish stated staff recommends the City Council review and discuss if increasing the size of allowable accessory structures is appropriate, and if so should the size increase be based on lot size, and zoning classifications. Mayor Trude reviewed some of the history of this item with the Council. The Council discussed an accessory structure going up in the City. Mr. Dickinson stated if they have a significant number of variance requests that usually triggers looking at a code amendment. Over the course of ten years there have been only five variance requests related to accessory structures. Mr. Janish stated in 2011 there were two variances related to height and setbacks and not related to the actual size of the structure. Both of those variances were denied. He reviewed other variances throughout the years. The Council discussed if the ordinance should be changed since there have not been a lot of variance requests. Councilmember Goodrich leaned towards allowing people to do what they want to do with their property. He is leaning towards changing this because it is private property and he felt the owner should be able to do what they want on their property. Councilmember Bukkila stated she understood what Councilmember Goodrich was saying and felt the larger properties would have the room to do this but she felt the 11 Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes — January 23, 2018 Page 4 smaller properties would not have the room. In terms of profile and how it looks, some lots are the entire house and would not be able to have an accessory structure on it. She did not know if this change would cure any issues that are out there. Councilmember Bukkila stated she would like to have a review of their accessory structures and the design they require. She has gotten complaints about why the requirements are so strict and if there are alternatives to the building materials that could make it cheaper for landowners particularly on larger lots. She thought if they were going to open up accessory structures they could look at the materials requirements as well. Staff reviewed with the Council the different areas in the City where large accessory structures are permitted. Councilmember Bukkila wondered if what they were doing made sense or were they being so restrictive that in order to afford anything they need to be on a high-end salary. She wondered if someone has the land with a $200,000 split level home why are they restricted. Mr. Patch asked if the concern was with the exterior looks because he thought newer materials that were not costly looked good. Councilmember Bukkila stated she did not know if there was something that would satisfy their curb appeal concern but not be so expensive. Mr. Patch stated in terms of how the current ordinance works now the ordinance Andover has right now works well. It seems that the Council's primary concern is should they allow lots that are larger in all districts to have accessory structures. He thought that one of the things that should be done is a rewrite of the structure ordinance. He stated they need to straighten out the ordinance, so it makes sense and they can also look at what those material standards should be. Mr. Dickinson stated in that instance they would need to go by zoning district regulations because they would want different districts to allow different materials. Councilmember Goodrich thought that sounded logical. Councilmember Bukkila asked if the City is trying to dictate the footprint of the structure and the type. Mayor Trude stated after the 2002 City bus tour there was a feeling of proportionality. There should be proportionality within a development. Councilmember Bukkila agreed but thought they already differed by the lot size requirements. She stated over the years the houses have gotten bigger on the same size lots and the scale is different than what it was years ago. She wondered if it mattered what the building is as long it does not exceed the twelve hundred requirement. Councilmember Knight stated everyone has their own perspective on what looks nice. Councilmember Goodrich asked who gets to decide what looks good. He thought it should be up to the landowner to decide that to a certain extent. Mayor Trude thought 12 Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes —danuary 23, 2018 Page 5 this started because of a perceived problem. She did not think they wanted to spend more time on this until staff can bring forward more information. The majority of the City Council did not see a problem with the ordinance and did not think the ordinance should be rewritten. Mayor Trude thought the architectural design part of the ordinance can be reviewed for possible changes. She did not hear support for changing the sizes within the districts in the City. Mr. Patch thought the ordinance needed reorganization but keep the same standards and look at some alternative materials that could be used. Mr. Dickinson stated this would be brought back in February for further review. C.

Mr. Janish reviewed the Accessory Structures Code Amendment with the Council. Mr. Patch stated when he tries to prepare an ordinance he tries to whittle it down to what needs to be said. Mr. Patch reviewed different types of accessory structures with the Council. The Council agreed they like structures with nicer fagades that complement the homes. Mayor Trude thought the current variance process works well. Councilmember Holthus agreed. Mr. Janish showed some out building photos and the Council discussed which ones would be appropriate.

Mr. Janish reviewed the staff report with the City Council. Mr. Patch noted there are currently three conditions that need to be met in order to construct a pole structure on a property. Mayor Trude wondered if it should only be allowed in certain zoning districts. Councilmember Goodrich thought there was also discussion about architectural design of the building. Mr. Patch reviewed the new wording with the Council. He stated there is some concern with who reviews the plans and the subjectivity of the design. Mayor Trude stated they currently have that issue. Mr. Patch stated that is correct and staff needed to determine a standard. The Council reviewed the amendment wording with staff. Councilmember Bukkila agreed to lowering the restrictions to 2.5 acres from 3 acres because she did not think it would have an impact on the neighborhood. Councilmember Goodrich agreed. Council agreed the new design standards proposed should go through the approval process. Mr. Patch noted height was also brought up and Council never wanted to change the height and the new wording changes it, so he will clean that up and go back to the original wording. Mayor Trude stated they never discussed the shipping and storage container in the driveway and wondered if this should be shortened from thirty days to two weeks. Councilmember Bukkila had mixed feelings about this because some large projects may take longer than two weeks. How would they accommodate a resident through a remodel without residents abusing it. Councilmember Goodrich thought two weeks might be a little short. Councilmember Bukkila thought the temporary storage code proposed reads better than the old wording.

Community Development Director Janish noted the purpose of; this item is to hold a public hearing and take input on a potential modification to the City Code related to accessory structures (portable items) and sizes and make a recommendation to the City Council. He noted the Planning Commissionconsidered this amendmertt_,in late 2017, and made a recommendation to the City Council. On November 14, 2017, the City Council tabled action and reviewed the proposal at several Work Sessions. I`During that review by City Council, staff was directed to clean up the, ordinance language to make it easier to read, comprehend and allow architectural features compatible to principal structures in lieu of prohibiting steel exterior wall sheathing ,(i.e., pole sheds). Staff worked together tprevi$e the draft ordinance, which was considered at the April 24, 2018, City Council Work Session. At that meeting, staff Was directed to bring the draft ordinance throueh the. adontion nrncese Community DevelopmbnfDirector Janish reviewed highlights of the revised ordinance that was rewritten for ease of understanding; `shipping and storage containers' language was added to Temporary structures; architecturally compatible language is included; and, language related to architectural, standards for lots `less than 2.5 acres' vs. `less than 3 acres' has been modified. This change will allow for vertical steel siding on lots 2.5 acres or greatex vs. the current 3 acres or greater. He referenced the map included in the meeting packet,' noting it identifies the location where steel buildings could be built should the lot size be changed to 2.5 acres. Community Developfnent Director Janish noted staff has provided a full draft version and the original version of- the ordinance instead of a redline copy. He stated staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission conduct a Public Hearing to review and discuss the proposed ordinance and consider a recommendation to the City Council. Chairperson Nemeth asked whether the Commissioners had questions of staff. Commissioner Sims asked if he needed to recuse himself since he owns a 2.5 -acre lot. Community Development Director Janish stated he would not need to but if he felt conflicted, he could certainly abstain. Commissioner Koehler stated since Commissioner 20 Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —June 12, 2018 Page 13 Sims raised the issue, he would recommend Commissioner Sims abstain from this discussion. Commissioner Sims stated he would recuse himself from this discussion and vote.

Commissioner VanderLaan, asked about building height if solar panels are added. Community Development Director Janish explained that as the ordinance is written, he would interpret that solar panels would not count into the height as it measures from the average ground level to half the height of the highest distance. Commissioner Koehler stated he remembers a workshop many years ago on solar panels and there were separate restrictions on how far they could be off the roof surface as well as the angle of the panels so it may be regulated by a separate ordinance. City Planner Hanson stated that is correct. Chairperson Nemeth raised the scenario of a house and garage with an addition onto the garage for two cars, one with a commercial height door. He asked which one is used to measure height. Community Development Director Janish stated it would be measured from the highest peak and the maximum height depends on the zoning district. 21 Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes—June 12, 2018 Page 14 Commissioner Koehler asked if he knows of a property that meets that description. Chairperson Nemeth stated his neighbor's property is similar to what he described. Commissioner VanderLaan stated she thinks this ordinance is needed and a compliment is in order for Commissioner Koehler as she recalls a discussion when a young man wanted a large building holding nine or ten cars, was going to stack cars with a lift, and wanted to fix cars. She recalled that Commissioner Koehlerhad tactfully said you cannot fix cars there for money, you have to do it free of charg0 and as a result that request has not resurfaced. She stated this is not talking about buildings to fix cars or the use but construction of structures. Community Development Director Janish stated that is correct, it relates to the appearance of the building. Motion by Daninger, seconded by Hudson, to'recommend to the City Council approval of Code amendments to Title 12, Accessory Structures. Motion carried on a 5 -ayes, 1 - nay (Nemeth), 1 -present (Sims), 0 -absent vote. BUSINESS.
