25 DISCUSS AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RURAL RESERVE
26
27 Ms. Hanson updated the Commission on the Packer family approaching the City on a
28 matter related to the Comp Plan. The family wants to leave 40 acres to 5 individuals.
29 They came to the City wanting to know if they could subdivide the acreage into 5 parcels.
30 This area is set aside for future urban development. The Comp Plan says in a rural
31 reserve area, there can be 1 house per 20 acres or 2 houses for this 40 acres. One option
32 is to subdivide 1 unit, per 10 acres, in the rural reserve area. A Comp Plan amendment
33 would be needed, so that is an option. The City would have the option to update the
34 Comp Plan and split the areas allowing more than one unit per 10 acres, or even 1 unit
35 per acre in these areas.. However, there are a lot of regulations, and the area is slated for
36 urban development at some time. We agreed with the Metropolitan Council at some
37 point that there could be 1 unit per 3 acres. In the south part of the metro area, they have
38 flexible development guidelines where they create an overlay zoning district to create
39 smaller lots in these areas, and include ghost platting and how it would develop in the
40 future, so there is a plan.
41
42 Ms. Hanson went on to state that this matter was brought to the City Council and they
43 were in support of moving forward and looking at the option of flexible development
44 guidelines. The City Council would like to see if we can put this concept to use in our
45 City. City staff talked to the Packer family and they are in agreement as well. They want
46 to break off 2 five acre parcels and put 30 acres into an "open space" to preserve for

l development in the future and they could also sell the land in the future. This is how
2 other communities are handling this. Open space in this case means something different
3 than we typically refer to in City matters. The City will work with the Metropolitan
4 Council on Comp Plan development. The Commission will need to develop the language
5 and zoning ordinance changes, develop guidelines for the requirements to meet (for any
6 others that might want to do this as well): roads, preserve open space, and placement of
7 houses for future subdividing. In 2008, there was a concept plan for development in this
8 area, a very rough sketch. That can be utilized as well when considering this work.
9
10 Commissioner Cleven asked if the property owners could subdivide the 5 acres in the
11 future. Ms. Hanson stated that they could. Mr. Janish displayed "Concept Plan `B' from
12 2005" for this rural area. It was noted that it would probably require a right-of-way for
13 this property because it is known where the road may be in the future.
14
15 Commissioner Peterson inquired about County roads in this area. Ms. Hanson stated that
16 would be looked at and that she really did not think that this will open the flood gates for
17 similar requests.
18
19 Commissioner Sims arrived.
20
21 Vice Chairperson Nemeth stated that he was concerned the City would be swamped with
22 applicants. Ms. Hanson stated that it cannot be much because they would have to build
23 roadways and that would be financially prohibitive, so it would only be on the outer
24 edges. She commented that there had been a little interest in one additional area. She
25 reminded Commissioners that there is a lot of peat in the area so it is not as desirable for
26 development. Vice Chairperson Nemeth reminded everyone that there is also farming in
27 that area.
28
29 Commissioner Peterson asked Ms. Hanson to review the map for future roadways.
30
31 Commissioner Koehler inquired if the Comp Plan had a timeline. Ms. Hanson noted that
32 this is developer driven. He went on to ask if this would change the Metropolitan
33 Council's MUSA line. Ms. Hanson stated that it would not.
34
35 Commissioner Peterson asked if the residents had their own septic, and if urban services
36 come, would they be required or have the option for urban services. Ms. Hanson stated
37 that they would have to hook up.
38
39 Commissioner Koehler commented that they did not require people to hook up south of
40 Coon Creek. Ms. Hanson stated that if the lot size is smaller, then yes. She went on to
41 say that there would be a work session with City Council in January, and that this
42 Commission will see the matter in February. She clarified that there is not much support
43 for community septic systems by the City Council.

Minutes — December 13, 2016
Page 3
1 Commissioner Peterson asked about the future trail plan, along Constance Blvd., that is
2 not built yet. He wondered if that would be a part of this planning. Ms. Hanson replied
3 no, that these would strictly be 2.5 acre lots, but they could leave an easement for the
4 future. Commissioner Peterson wondered if they would need to decide the south or north
5 side of the road.
6
7 Commissioner Koehler suggested an easement on both sides and vacate one of them later.
8 Ms. Hanson confirmed that could be done. Commissioner Koehler stated he would like
9 to have that flexibility down the road.
10
11 Commissioner Koehler also indicated that there had been issues in past regarding
12 subdividing once every so often and asked about the time frame. Ms. Hanson stated that
13 the City guideline had been once every 5 years and the City fairly recently changed it to
14 3. Commissioner Koehler asked if the family knew that. Ms. Hanson stated that 5 acres
15 is the magic number for the family because they want pole buildings for "toys."
16
17 Commissioner Koehler asked if they could divide the 5 -acre lots again. Ms. Hanson
18 stated they could not because there is no road frontage. The rest of the 30 acres will need
19 to remain open space until it becomes an urban development.
20
21 Commissioner Peterson asked for clarification if services were to be brought up to this
22 area, could the property be divided. Ms. Hanson confirmed that if it was urban medium
23 or high density, the answer was, "yes." Ms. Hanson indicated that the engineering
24 department will have some things to think about. This parcel of land is one of the most
25 developable areas.
26
27 Ms. Hanson clarified that this is a rural reserve area (in light blue on the map), and not
28 rural residential, which is automatically 2.5 acres. She also confirmed that some
29 residents in other related areas are asking about when services will come.
30
31 Commission Koehler asked if there were any decisions for the Commission at this time.
32 Ms. Hanson stated that the information was only "food for thought at this time.
33
34 Ms. Hanson went on to say that the two sons want to build on the new lots in the spring
35 and the rural reserve area is only area where there will be services in the future (in an
36 undetermined amount of time).
37
38 Commissioner Peterson noted that according to the concept plan, the development should
39 be high density facing Constance Blvd., and now this is the reverse.
40
41 Commissioner Nemeth commented on the need for developments with larger lots and that
42 demand may feed that change.
43
44 Commissioner Cleven cited the new Oak View development.
45
Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Workshop Meeting
Minutes — December 13, 2016
Page 4
1 Commissioner Sims inquired about the Comp Plan work starting next year. Ms. Hanson
2 noted that work starts in February, once the new Planning & Zoning Commission
3 composition is set and that there will be work sessions late in February. It will be a two -
4 year project and that with an update to the Comp Plan, this can be done in May/June and
5 the family can build.
6
7 Ms. Hanson stated that the consultants are starting their work now and some is being
8 done in house and that the transportation plan is focused on compliance.
9
10 Commissioner Peterson asked if they would get the opportunity to comment on the
11 transportation plan. Ms. Hanson stated that she assumes there will be meetings in the
12 Council Chambers on that and that they will consult with the County. In 2017 in the
13 summer, work will start to widen Hanson up to 155th Lane.
14
15 Commissioner Peterson expressed his desire to see the transportation plan before it is
16 done to provide input. Ms. Hanson will talk to Mr. Berkowitz about the transportation
17 plan and input noting that the City's plan will focus on the roads owned by the City. She
18 noted that engineering staff has been involved with the plans for Hanson and Bunker.
19
20 Vice Chairperson Nemeth expressed his wish to address Round Lake Blvd where there is
21 a small amount of road that is one-half mile where it goes from 4 -lane to a 2 -lane to a 4-
22 lane.
23
24 OTHER BUSINESS
25
26 Ms. Hanson updated the Planning Commission on related items. She indicated that there
27 were 140 lots within the City that are ready to build on and already approved at this time.
28
29 103 new residential housing permits were issued this year.
30
31 Commissioner Peterson noted that it was not a huge inventory, considering there were
32 100 homes permitted this year.
33
34 Commissioner Nemeth recounted some of the possibilities within the City for future
35 development.
36
37 Ms. Hanson referred to the Comp Plan update and that land uses will need to be
38 considered. A topic for 2017 will be to really think about workforce housing, as there is
39 not much in the City of Andover and the City needs to provide that. She explained that
40 workforce housing is a lower valued home or an entry level home. Another term that is
41 used is affordable housing. Mr. Janish explained that by providing for all income levels,
42 families become established in the city and then work their way up and stay through
43 retirement housing. Ms. Hanson does not expect much change for parks and trails in the
44 Comp Plan.

4 PUBLIC HEARING: INTERIM USE PERMIT — STOCKPILE — PRESERVEAT
5 OAK VIEW — METROWIDE DEVELOPMENT.
6
7 City Planner Hanson noted the purpose of this agenda item is to hold a public hearing and
8 take input on an IUP to store up to 4,000 cubic yards of soil.
9
10 City Planner Hanson reviewed the information with the Commission.
11
12 Commissioner Koehler asked Ms. Hanson if the Commissioners had heard about this
13 before and if not, why they were hearing about it now after the dirt was already in place.
14 Ms. Hanson replied that the applicant was not aware the IUP was needed and that some
15 communities have this requirement and some do not. She also reported that the
16 developers came right away to the City to request a permit, when approached. She
17 confirmed that the soil was already stored on site.
18
19 Commissioner Koehler asked if residents in the area had been notified of the hearing that
20 evening. Ms. Hanson stated that those residents within 700 feet had been notified. She
21 had received two phone calls from residents wanting clarification.
22
23 Commissioner Koehler asked if the applicant requests the days and times of hauling for
24 the IUP or if the City puts that information into the document. Ms. Hanson responded
25 that the City adds in the times to the IUP. Commissioner Koehler noted that the
26 times/days were not consistent with the application that the Commission saw at the
27 meeting the previous month. Ms. Hanson stated the times are consistent with the times
28 for previously approved NP's as part of an approved residential development such as
29 Country Oaks North and White Pine Wilderness 2nd Addition.
30
31 Commissioner Cleven asked how long the stock pile would be there. Ms. Hanson
32 replied, November 30, 2019, and that condition number 5 states this date and that the lUP
33 would also expire on that date. Within the City, IUPs are typically 2-3 years, and no
34 more than 5 years, for approving stock piles.
35
36 Vice Chairperson Nemeth asked about the quantity of subtractions and additions to the
37 stockpile. Ms. Hanson replied that no more than 4,000 cubic yards, about what is there
38 now, would be added or subtracted to the existing stockpile.
39
40 Vice Chairperson Nemeth asked if there had been any comments from the engineering
41 department. Ms. Hanson indicated yes, that silt fencing would need to be in place and
42 seeding would need to be done. The City performs frequent inspections and once the soil
43 is removed, the developer has to submit a final grading plan.

2 identified. Ms. Hanson stated that the soil would only be hauled within the development

6 carried on a 6 -ayes, 0 -nays, I -absent vote (Daninger).
7
8 Kathleen Hammer, 105 South 5 1 Avenue, Minneapolis, was present from Metrowide
9 Development. She stated that they had read the proposed IUP and has no issues with it.
10
11 Commission Koehler asked if it would be an issue if weekend hauling was removed. Ms.
12 Hammer noted that normal construction hours allow hauling on the weekend.
13 Commissioner Koehler commented that the last IUP the Commission approved did not
14 allow weekend hours.
15
16 Ms. Hanson stated that condition number 4 allows hauling 8:00 a.m. —1:00 p.m. on
17 Saturdays and is consistent with other developments where there is hauling on site only
18 and it is not leaving the development.
19
20 Commissioner Sims clarified that in last month's IUP that was under consideration, the
21 soil was going out on the road, and that last month's IUP was the exception, rather than
22 this request.
23
24 Ms. Hanson stated that the previous IUP was for mining where the soil will be leaving
25 the site, and that this IUP is for land reclamation where the soils will remain within the
26 development.

SUBJECT: Public Hearing: Conditional Use Permit (CUP) — Liquor Sales — 13650 Hanson
Blvd NW, Suite 103 — Joy's Kitchen
DATE: February 28, 2017
INTRODUCTION
City Code 12-12 requires a CUP for liquor licenses in the I — Industrial District. The applicant is
proposing to have liquor sales at a new establishment known as Joy's Kitchen.
DISCUSSION
City Code 12-12 requires a CUP for liquor sales in the Industrial District. Once a CUP is
approved, the applicant will be required to obtain a liquor license that will be issued by the City
Council. The City Council will issue the liquor license.
City code 12-14-613 provides the following general review criteria to consider when granting a
CUP. In granting a Conditional Use Permit, the City Council shall consider the advice and
recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and:
1. The effect of the proposed use upon the health, safety, moral and general welfare of
occupants of surrounding lands.
Staff believes the CUP will not affect the health, safety, moral and general welfare of the
occupants of surrounding lands. Liquor sales are regulated by City Code 3 — 1 and must comply
with Minnesota Statutes 340A.402.
2. Existing and anticipated traffic conditions, including parking facilities on adjacent streets
and land.
The CUP will not generate additional traffic to the commercial area. Parking facilities are
adequate and provide the required number of parking spaces as required by City Code. This was
reviewed as part of the commercial site plan review.
3. The effect on values of property and scenic views in the surrounding area, and the effect
of the proposed use on the Comprehensive Plan.
Restaurants are a permitted use within the commercial districts and liquor sales are allowed
with a CUP and liquor license. Staff believes the CUP will not have a negative effect on
surrounding property values.
ACTION REQUESTED
The Planning and Zoning Commission is requested to hold a public hearing and make a
recommendation to the City Council.
