The plat contains six rural lots located at 16474 Hanson Boulevard NW. 15 16 City Planner Hanson reviewed the proposed preliminary plat and variance with the 17 Commission. Each of the lots meet the requirements for a rural lot, except for Lot 5, 18 Block 1. The lot meets all rural lot requirements except for the lot width at the front yard 19 setback. City Code states rural lots must be 300 feet in width, measured at the front yard 20 setback. The proposed width is 94 feet. However, once the property to the south 21 develops and the temporary cul-de-sac is extended, Lot 5, Block 1 width at the front yard 22 setback will increase from 94 feet to 470 feet. 23 24 City Planner Hanson stated that the plat includes Outlot A. Undeveloped outlots are not 25 allowed; however, in this instance, Outlot A will be combined with the property located 26 at 16422 Hanson Boulevard NW (the location of Dover Kennels) when the final plat is 27 approved. There is a condition in the resolution that requires combination of Outlot A 28 and 16422 Hanson Boulevard NW at the time the final plat is filed with Anoka County. 29 30 City Planner Hanson reviewed the access to the development and road improvements. 31 She noted that each lot would be served by septic and well. She stated that the wetlands 32 have been delineated and the report was approved by the Lower Rum River WMO in 33 November of 2018. She stated that the Park Commission reviewed the plat in March of 34 2018 and the Commission requested cash in lieu of land for the development. 35 36 City Planner Hanson reviewed the variance criteria and how the request would meet 37 those criteria. She stated that the Commission is asked to review the request and hold the 38 public hearing. She stated that if the Commission recommends approval, staff would 39 suggest an additional condition six, which would require the combination of Outlot A and 40 16422 Hanson Boulevard NW at the time of final plat. 41 42 Commissioner Hudson noted that the Park and Recreation Commission approved this 43 plan one year ago, and the LRRWMO approved the delineation five months ago. He 44 asked if there is an expiration for those approvals. 45 Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — March 12, 2019 Page 3 1 City Planner Hanson replied that the recommendation from the Park and Recreation 2 Commission would not change. She explained that once a delineation is approved, that is 3 good for five years. 4 5 Commissioner Sims asked for the change in the front yard setback that will increase from 6 94 feet to 470 feet and asked for additional details. 7 8 City Planner Hanson stated that when the adjacent property develops and the roadway is 9 extended, that will extend the street frontage. 10 11 Commissioner VanderLaan asked if the residents in that area will have problems with 12 buses and mail prior to the road extension. 13 14 City Planner Hanson replied that there would be a temporary cul-de-sac which would 15 allow room to maneuver for large vehicles. 16 17 Commissioner Loehlein asked if there would be restrictions on a driveway for lot five. 18 19 City Planner Hanson stated that the width at the right-of-way will be met and therefore 20 the lot is accessible so a home and driveway could be built. 21 22 Commissioner Sims asked how far the road is from Country Oaks North. 23 24 City Planner Hanson was unsure but noted that the County has reviewed the plans and the 25 roads are not across from each other. 26 27 Chairperson Koehler asked if emergency services have reviewed the request. 28 29 City Planner Hanson replied that the fire department reviewed the request and has no 30 issues. 31 32 Motion by Loehlein, seconded by Hudson, to open the public hearing at 7:22 p.m. 33 Motion carried on a 5 -ayes, 0 -nays, 2 -absent (Daninger and Nemeth) vote. 34 35 Joshua Bergeron, 16474 Hanson Boulevard, stated that the design on the plat connected 36 to the neighboring property is a ghost plat and therefore is theoretical. He stated that the 37 road will not extend at the completion of this property and identified where the temporary 38 cul-de-sac will be located. He explained how the 94 is calculated and noted that when 39 the road continues through, the frontage will increase. 40 41 Commissioner VanderLaan stated that she was pleased to see that the City Council 42 reviewed a request previously and were opposed to a two -acre lot and therefore the plans 43 had been amended to include larger lots. 44 Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — March 12, 2019 Page 4 1 Motion by VanderLaan, seconded by Loehlein, to close the public hearing at 7:25 p.m. 2 Motion carried on a 5 -ayes, 0 -nays, 2 -absent (Daninger and Nemeth) vote. 3 4 Motion by Loehlein, seconded by VanderLaan, to recommend to the City Council 5 approval of the resolution approving the request with the addition of a sixth condition that 6 would combine Outlot A with 16422 Hanson Boulevard. Motion carried on a 5 -ayes, 0- 7 nays, 2 -absent (Daninger and Nemeth) vote. 8 9 City Planner Hanson stated that this item would be before the Council at the April 2, 10 2019 City Council meeting. 11 12 PUBLIC HEARING: Preliminary Plat — Catcher's Creek East — Butternut 13 Street/Andover Boulevard NW — Mark Smith 14 15 Community Development Director Janish noted the purpose of this item is to hold a 16 public hearing and take input on a revised preliminary plat for Catcher's Creek East. The 17 proposed plat contains 43 urban residential lots as proposed by Mark of Excellence. 18 19 Community Development Director Janish reviewed the proposed revised preliminary plat 20 with the Commission. This is a revision to the original Catcher's Creek East Preliminary 21 Plat which was reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission in 2018. These 22 revisions include the elimination of Butternut Street NW and provide for an extension of 23 University Avenue, as well as other modifications. 24 25 Community Development Director Janish stated that there is a section in City Code 26 which discusses the maximum block length. He noted that the request tonight does not 27 exceed maximum block length and the fire department is comfortable with the layout as 28 proposed. He noted that emergency access would be provided from Andover Boulevard. 29 He stated that the Park and Recreation Commission reviewed this request in 2017 and 3o recommended cash in lieu of land. 31 32 Community Development Director Janish identified the adjacent property, noting that the 33 applicant has worked with that property owner to show a ghost plat with utility extension. 34 He reviewed the comments from engineering. He reviewed the screening that would be 35 provided for buffering with the use of trees. 36 37 Commissioner Hudson stated that the street will be jointly owned by Andover and Ham 38 Lake and asked how that would work in terms of maintenance. 39 40 Community Development Director Janish provided examples of joint projects the cities 41 have done together for jointly owned roadways. He stated that the communities have an 42 agreement that identifies how the joint projects are done. 43 44 Commissioner Hudson stated that there has been discussion regarding Shadow Brook 45 North. He asked if that is a real development or concept. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — March 12, 2019 Page 5 2 Community Development Director Janish stated that Shadow Brook North has submitted 3 an application that is under staff review. 4 5 Commissioner Hudson referenced the Ham Lake property to the east and asked if 6 connections to City utilities would be connected. 7 8 Community Development Director Janish confirmed that property would be rural, served 9 by septic and well. 10 11 Commissioner VanderLaan asked if additional information has been provided on Indian 12 burial grounds and whether protection is needed. 13 14 Community Development Director Janish stated that the applicant has reached out to the 15 applicable parties but there was no response. 16 17 Commissioner Loehlein referenced the comments from engineering related to the Ham 18 Lake portion of the road and right-of-way. He asked if there is anything additional that 19 should be added to the conditions or whether the City is comfortable as is. 20 21 Community Development Director Janish noted that the comments are included in the 22 engineering comments, which are referenced in the proposed resolution. 23 24 Chairperson Koehler asked and received confirmation that the fire department is not 25 concerned with the lack of extension of the trail. 26 27 Community Development Director Janish confirmed that staff has not requested the trail 28 extension at this time. 29 30 Motion by Hudson, seconded by VanderLaan, to open the public hearing at 7:42 p.m. 31 Motion carried on a 5 -ayes, 0 -nays, 2 -absent (Daninger and Nemeth) vote. 32 33 Community Development Director Janish provided details on a telephone call he 34 received from a resident regarding road access, road improvements, and landscaping. 35 36 Chairperson Koehler referenced an email received from a resident that could not attend 37 tonight that was provided to the Commission. 38 39 Community Development Director Janish reviewed details from the email received 40 including a visual buffer between rural and urban neighbors, a start and end date for the 41 developer and limitation on hauling hours, and concerns with the speed limit on Andover 42 Boulevard and the limited traffic control at University and Andover Boulevard. 43 44 Commissioner Loehlein commented that the changes enhance the development and 45 commended the developer. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes — March 12, 2019 Page 6 2 Motion by VanderLaan, seconded by Loehlein, to close the public hearing at 7:48 p.m. 3 Motion carried on a 5 -ayes, 0 -nays, 2 -absent (Daninger and Nemeth) vote. 4 5 Commissioner VanderLaan stated that she was pleased to see the eyebrow removed. 6 7 Commissioner Loehlein stated that staff is not requesting the trail easement and he was 8 interested to hear the input of others. 9 10 Chairperson Koehler stated that if staff does not see a need, and the fire department does 11 not see a need, it then becomes a nice to have and not a need to have item. He stated that 12 he would not be looking to push the issue. 13 14 Commissioner Hudson stated that in reference to the trail easement, he would assume a 15 trail would be addressed if the property to the west were to develop. He asked if the 16 resolution from the previous year addressed hours of hauling. 17 18 Community Development Director Janish stated that was not included in the previous 19 resolution. He stated that there are hours for mining operations and different hours of 20 operation for home construction activity. He stated that historically the City does not 21 place time restrictions outside of what is allowed by City Code. 22 23 Chairperson Koehler referenced the request that was made by residents for berming to 24 provide a separation between urban and rural development. He stated that berming could 25 be problematic for a homeowner that wants to construct a fence on their property. He 26 stated that he would not request the berm but would support common sense screening. 27 28 Commissioner Hudson asked if the existing developments have a berm. 29 30 City Planner Hanson replied that there is no berm and screening is provided with trees. 31 32 Commissioner Hudson stated that he would be unsure how the development would 33 transition with a berm and therefore would not support that element. 34 35 Chairperson Koehler asked if there is a condition of approval regarding consulting the 36 Minnesota Indian Affairs Council and then read aloud the proposed condition. 37 38 Community Development Director Janish noted that the applicant and staff worked with 39 the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council during the mining operations, so that organization 4o has provided input. 41 42 Motion by Loehlein, seconded by Hudson, to recommend to the City Council approval of 43 preliminary plat as presented. Motion carried on a 5 -ayes, 0 -nays, 2 -absent (Daninger 44 and Nemeth) vote. 45 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —March 12, 2019 Page 7 Community Development Director Janish stated that this item would be before the Council at the April 2, 2019 City Council meeting.

Hanson, City Planner SUBJECT: Public Hearing: Comprehensive Plan Update DATE: March 26, 2019 DISCUSSION In May 2014, Metropolitan (Met) Council adopted Thrive MSP 2040. Following the adoption of Thrive, Met Council adopted the 2040 plans for Transportation, Parks, Water Resources and Housing Policies for the metropolitan area. Each community is issued System Statements for each of the categories. It is the obligation of each city to meet the requirements of the issued System Statement for that individual community. Receipt of the system statement and the metropolitan system plans triggered Andover's obligation to review and, as necessary, amend the comprehensive plan. Once the comprehensive plan is amended, city staff will submit it to the Met Council to ensure compliancy with the issued system statements. Andover system statements are available for viewing and downloading at http://www. metrocouncii. orgICommunities/Planning. aspx. Update Process In June 2016, City staff started the process to update the plan. As part of the process, staff conducted several work sessions with the Parks Commission, Planning and Zoning Commission, and City Council. Work session dates and agendas were advertised in the local paper, in City hall, the city website and on the city facebook page. The public is encouraged to attend work sessions. Work sessions include, but may not be limited to, the following: June 28, 2016; November 15, 2017; July 24, 2018; August 18, 2018; September 25, 2018; October 9, 2018; November 27, 2018; and January 22, 2019. At the January 22, 2019 City Council work session, the Council discussed Planned Unit Development (PUD) densities in the rural areas and the high-density areas of the city. Approved Council minutes are attached for your review. City Council is in support of increasing the maximum PUD densities in the Urban Residential High areas to allow up to 16 units per acre; however, the parcels specifically located at the NE and SE corner of Bunker Lake Blvd and 7th Ave NW (PIN's will have a PUD maximum density of 20 units per acre. The PUD density changes and map showing the parcels affected by the change are attached for your review. The Comprehensive Plan change is as follows: Urban Residential - High Density (URH) district provides additional affordable housing choices for all stages of the life cycle. Owner occupied as well as rental housing is permitted. PUD review is used to establish standards that are specifically designed for each development. Potential sites for this district must be evaluated to ensure enough capacity of municipal infrastructure can be provided. Locations near higher volume transportation corridors, such as collector and arterial streets is necessary to accommodate the increased level of traffic generated by this land use. Location near shopping, service, transit and park facilities is also desirable. Appropriate transitions between this district and other districts or transportation corridors are necessary. These transitions are achieved with a combination of landscaping, berms, physical separation and preservation of natural features. Minimum Lot Size Variable Density 6 to 12 units per acre Maximum PUD Density Up to 16 units per acre: Up to 20 units per acre for PIN's 30-32-24-43-0001 and 30-32-24-40-0001 City Utilities Required Corresponding Zoning Districts M- 2 Multiple Dwelling High Density Type of Development Single Family Dwelling Two Family Dwelling Multiple Dwellings Location Criteria Must abut collector or arterial street Best located near shopping, service, transit and park Also, there was an open house held on February 26, 2019. The open house was advertised in the local paper, in City Hall, on the city website and facebook page three (3) weeks prior to the meeting. There was low attendance at the open house; however, the participants reviewed the updated maps and one (1) resident submitted comments regarding solar energy (attached for your review). Other changes to the plan are as follows: Chapter One: Foundation of the Comprehensive Plan Figure 1.1 Metropolitan Council Growth Forecast updates the estimated population, households, and employment numbers through the year 2014. Chapter Two: Land Use Plan This chapter defines the land uses and describes the growth management strategies that guide future development. The Metropolitan Council provides planning designations. Andover designations have been updated to reflect the most current information from the Metropolitan Council: Emerging Suburban Edge, Rural Residential and Diversified Rural. Urban and Rural Growth Forecast: Engineering Department updated the historical and projected growth within both sewered and unsewered areas of the city. The forecasts were generated using information from transportation analysis zones, a comparison of net buildable acreage to the city's subdivision ordinance, the Sewer Staging Plan and the Metropolitan Council forecast submitted to the City as part of the System Statement in September 2015. Housing Plan: Staff updated the age of the Andover housing stock and updated Metropolitan Council's determination of low- and moderate -income housing for Andover. Also, the Metropolitan Council provided an Existing Housing Assessment that's been added to the plan. Solar Protection Plan: The Metropolitan Council provided the City with the gross solar potential and created a Solar Suitability map that has been added to the plan. Chapter Three: Transportation Plan On August 17, 2018, City Council approved the updated Transportation Plan. Chapter Four: City Council approved the following documents associated with Chapter Four: September 18, 2018 - Comprehensive Water System Plan October 16, 2018 - Surface Water Management Plan June 19, 2018 - Local Water Supply Plan Chapter Five: Parks and Open Space Plan On January 16, 2018, City Council adopted the 2018 Park Dedication Study and Fee; which incorporates the information in Chapter Five. Chapter Six: Implementation Plan The Implementation Plan outlines the implementation programs needed to obtain the City goals, objectives and policies. The implementation plan must provide enough detail to the Met Council to determine if there are any impacts to or departures from regional plans and policies. The implementation plan will ensure that regional systems and infrastructure investments are protected, and the local plan includes the tools and resources necessary to carry out its vision. As part of the Comprehensive Plan submittal, staff is required to add the following information to the Implementation chapter: Zoning District and Zoning Map; Housing Plan; and, Individual Sewage Treatment Systems. As part of the update process, staff has hosted many work sessions with the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council NEXT STEPS After the public hearing, the next steps in the process are as follows: April 16, 2019: City Council review and authorize the submittal to the Metropolitan Council. April — May: Complete update and submit to Met Council. Late Summer/Fall: Once the Comprehensive Plan is accepted by the Met Council, Andover City Council will formally approve the plan. ACTION REQUESTED The Commission is requested to review the plan updates and resident comments, hold a public hearing, and make a recommendation of approval to the City Council for the submittal of the updated comprehensive plan to the Met Council.

Mr. Berkowitz stated the other areas of the MUSA can be dealt with on a case by case basis. HE �' d there is a chokepoint in the northeast area that restricts the number of connections that car be pr ded. He stated the only area he can see taking connections from would be from the Constannc 'ree Church property. Mayor Trude sta d the church has not paid assessments and there is no pipe running to the specific property provided cse connections, therefore it would make sense to reduce the number o1 connections for that p erty. She stated perhaps City staff have a conversation with Constance Free Church about reducihgthe allocation for that property. Councilmember Bukkila asked' the conversation would be required and question whether the church is aware of that allocation. Mr. Dickinson stated it would not make ense to take away allocations for properties that have paid or deferred assessments. Mr. Dickins also stated the church was aware that there is an allocation of sewer units to that property. Councilmember Bukkila stated it would makeXaw ide allocations to properties that are ready to move forward with development andom more outlying properties without any planned development. Councilmember Knight stated there seems to be a lot of sen r housing projects and perhaps Constance Free Church is no longer interested in that type of deve ment. Mr. Dickinson stated that would be the purpose of the discussion with nstance Free Church, to determine if they have a master plan or are even planning for a senior hou ' g element. Mr. Berkowitz stated some of the properties that have estimated connections allXated could come in under the planned number, which would provide additional capacity for other development. It was the consensus of the Council to direct staff to have discussions with Constance Free Church regarding connection allocations. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DISCUSSION A. DENSITYW RESIDENT]AL AREAS The Council is asked to consider increases related to Planned Unit Development (PUD) "caps" as identified in the City of Andover Comprehensive Plan related to Rural Residential (RR) and Urban Residential — High Density (URH). Mr. J0ish stated the Council held a workshop in November to begin these discussions and Z O 0)w N Y N= N O cr— J � U Z Z QO U Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes —January 22, 2019 Page 7 provided a brief summary of that discussion. Mayor Trude stated in the past a PUD was reviewed as a package deal and this would perhaps take away from the flexibility provided by a PUD. Mr. Dickinson stated the interpretation of the current language could be changed, or a maximum could be set that would be a guide to ensure that staff is following the desire of the Council. Mr. Janish reviewed the current interpretation of the language, noting that projects with a higher density have been denied or turned away. He stated it appears the Council may be open to allowing a more dense development, as long as the public benefit provided outweighs that density. Councilmember Barthel stated he would agree with providing flexibility as long as the benefit supports that, noting a desire to preserve trees or for low impact development. W. Dickinson stated the basic standard lot size for rural residential is 2.5 acres. He stated a minimum of one acre could meet the requirements of a home pad and primary and secondary septic site. He stated that would only be attainable through a PUD but asked the Council how low they would want to go on a rural residential lot. Councilmember Bukkila stated she does not like going below 2.5 acres for lot size and would not want to put in place language that would commit to a possible lower lot size to support higher density without seeing the request. Mr. Dickinson stated the easy parcels in the community have been developed and many of the remaining parcels are challenging. He stated while some developers will come have discussions with City staff, others will look at the City Code and simply pass and move to another community so we may never get a proposal to review on some properties. Damn Lazan, Landform Professional Services, stated the important factor is to keep the flexibility that allows the Council to make the determination. He stated in some other communities there is a factor that specifies the density that can be granted. He stated he would agree that the Council will want that flexibility as there are more challenging parcels that will come forward with the wetlands. He stated if there is a maximum density specified, that provides direction for developers on what might be considered. He explained the City does not have to approve a density if they do not believe that the project works or provides the necessary benefit in return. He stated he would support lower lot width. Mr. Janish confirmed the direction of the Council for the maximum PUD density language to specify that it would be dependent upon a PUD application or Council approval. It was noted a specific number would not be inserted. Mr. Janish provided background information on the topic of urban residential higher density development. He reviewed the information that has been received from other neighboring Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes — January 22, 2019 Page 8 communities on their allowed urban density. Mayor Trude provided input from a multi -family developer that she spoke with, noting that the building mass does not always need to look like the pictures provided. Councilmember Knight stated the density of some of the buildings in other communities are similar to large hotels. Councilmember Barthel asked why high-density housing is needed. Mr. Janish stated high-density housing is an important element of meeting the density requirements specified by the Metropolitan Council and also provides an opportunity for life- cycle housing, which allows residents to remain in the community as they age. He provided additional details on the difference between market rate and workforce housing. He stated developers will receive a higher rate for rents in the core area of the metro area, rather than going into the outskirts in a community like Andover. Councilmember Barthel asked if there is that large of a need in Andover for high-density housing. Mayor Trude stated she would not go higher than the amount required by the Metropolitan Council. Councilmember Holthus stated there are young residents that would like to live in Andover but cannot afford a home and would be open to living in an apartment if available. Mr. Dickinson stated the Comprehensive Plan has to show math and plan to target on average three units per acre. He stated that while the City may not accomplish that density, the math has to support the potential of reaching that density requirement. He stated high-density housing provides more flexibility in allowing lower density in other areas of the community. He explained a plan must be demonstrated that reaches that number in order to receive approval by the Metropolitan Council, even though that plan may not ultimately be reached. He stated increasing the allowed density on the high-density site, may make that site more attractive to a developer but would also create additional density flexibility in other areas of the community. Mr. Janish stated he has received direction from the Council in the past to not allow four stories for a high-density building and advised that there has been a developer interested in four stories. Councilmember Bukkila stated she would support four stories in some areas, such as 7t' Avenue and Bunker Lake Boulevard, rather than in the center of the community, such as the property off Crosstown Boulevard. Mr. Janish explained that could be a part of the PUD development process, specifically how the property would blend in with surrounding properties and the buffering that would be provided. Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes — January 22, 2019 Page 9 Mayor Trude stated a lot of families do not want to own a home and would pay market rate to have the amenities. Councilmember Bukkila stated she would want to ensure that the density allowed would be attractive to developers that could make a market rate project work. Mr. Lazan stated he has 1,500 multi -family units under development throughout the country, which is all high-end, high amenity units designed for that millennial population. He stated people do not want the garden style apartments, which is what the City would get from the lower density allowance. He stated the higher density market rate project would come in under a higher density per acre. Mr. Dickinson stated when staff says 14 units per acre is the max for high density, the developers walk out the door. Mr. Lazan stated the higher amenities can only be provided with higher density apartments that allow for the creation of those amenities. Councilmember Barthel stated it would make sense for people to have those type of developments in Ramsey by the light rail, or by the river or another amenity that provides appeal. Mr. Dickinson stated the increase in density would only apply to two sites in Andover, noting that each site could have different density allowances. He stated any application would need to meet the code and Council criteria and if that is not met, the application can be denied. Mr. Janish confirmed the applicant would need to submit a PUD application which would be reviewed by the Council to ensure that the density proposed would match the benefit being provided. He stated a previous developer that was interested in a four-story apartment building with underground parking moved to another community because it did not appear the City would be approving of the request and did not want to go through the Comprehensive Plan amendment process. Mr. Dickinson stated the numbers can remain the same if the Council is fine with multi -family housing at the 14 units per acre, but multi -family developers will likely not look at Andover. Councilmember Holthus asked about the number of developers that come in and walk out each month. Mr. Dickinson replied there are at least two developers per month that come in with interest and walk out, sometimes more. Mr. Janish explained the cost for land acquisition and demolition is related to the amount of rent that would need to be charged and the number of units that would need to be included to recoup the costs for development. Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes —January 22, 2019 Page 10 Mayor Trude stated she would be open to higher density on the site on 7th Avenue and Bunker Lake Boulevard and would remain at 14 units per acre for the Crosstown site. Mr. Lazan noted there is currently no quality multi-family market rate housing in Andover. Mr. Dickinson confirmed if a market rate building was constructed in Andover, it would fill instantly. He stated the issue is that the people working in the community are coming from outside the community, and the question would be whether the Council wants to provide housing for those people or whether it is okay with not having available housing for those individuals. Councilmember Knight agreed the 71 Avenue and Bunker Lake Boulevard site would be a good site for that type of housing because of the location to the school and library. Mr. Dickinson stated the density could remain at the current rate going into the public input process, or that number could be increased at this point to gain input from the public on the potential change. Mr. Janish stated amenities that are desired for this type of housing cannot be provided at the lower density rates. Mr. Lazan stated in order to provide appropriate amenities, at least 170 units would be needed. He explained if the density can be increased on the high-density parcels, density can then be lowered in other areas. He used the example of Ramsey which allocated density to The COR and let the remainder of the community remain low density. Mayor Trude stated the redevelopment area on Crosstown Boulevard would be more fitting for duplexes or townhomes, while she would support higher density on the 7' Avenue and Bunker Lake Boulevard site. She stated there are other properties in the City which could incorporate some higher density housing that has smaller more affordable houses on smaller, more narrow lots. Councilmember Bukkila stated surface parking for multi-family tends to bring additional crime. She stated people with nicer vehicles want secured underground parking. She stated rows of garages tend to deteriorate. She stated that typically there are security cameras in underground parking. Mr. Janish noted separate zoning would be required to allow different density on the redevelopment and the 7`h Avenue and Bunker Lake Boulevard sites. He stated a maximum density could be allowed for both parcels, with direction that staff have the discussions with the developers that the Council would support 16 units per acre on the redevelopment site while the 7th Avenue and Bunker Lake Boulevard site would be supported at 20, dependent on the other elements of the PUD request. Mayor Trude referenced a parcel in which the resident would be interested in higher density Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes —January 22, 2019 Page 11 because of the location along Bunker Lake Boulevard of his single-family home property between the school and higher density townhomes. The Council took a brief recess. Mayor Trude reconvened the meeting. Mayor Trude recapped there was a lot of discussion on this topic and the consensus was to tincrease the density to 16 units per acre, with direction for staff to possibly create a new zoning district for the parcel at 7t' Avenue and Bunker Lake Boulevard which would allow for 20 units per acre with underground parking. ..B. ADDITIONAL COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL ZONING The Co)hncil was requested to provide direction to staff in regard toguiding additional areas for Commerce and/or Industrial Zoning. Mr. Janish expla'Ined under a hypothetical land use change, access must be considered. He stated if a parcel currently possesses a property with a single-family home and the property is rezoned, there would be implications on the ability of that property owner to refinance or sell their property as a residential home. He suggested that direction be provided to the developer through an economic development chapter which would guide a developer for future development opportunities. He reviewed prdperties that could potentially be rezoned and discussed challenges that may exist. The Council and staff reviewed properNs along Bunker Lake Boulevard and Hanson Boulevard and did not find additional parcels desiredl<or rezoning. UPDATE/DISCUSS PUBLIC WORKS FACIUTYAND MASTER PLAN Mr. Berkowitz stated there was a bid opening to6y, reporting that the Council Chambers and parking lot were full. He noted there will be a conference call later this week to refine contingencies with a goal of bringing the bid award to the Council on February 5s'. He confirmed the alternates would be presented as options for the Council to consider. Mr. Dickinson stated this was a favorable bidding climate for the project and overall the bids were favorable. It is possible all of the alternates could be recommended for approval. DISCUSS STRATEGIC PLANNING AND COUNCIL POLICYDEVELOPMENT PROCESS A strategic planning session was held with the City Council in 2015, with a final Council Community Vision and Organizational Goals and Values document approved by the City Council and last updated in 2017. Also, during the 2019 Budget Development process, the Council did anticipate that a new strategic planning session would be conducted in 2019. Stephanie Hanson, Planner March 1, 2019 City of Andover 1685 Crosstown Blvd Andover MN 55304 RE: Draft 2018 Comprehensive Plan Update Dear Ms. Hanson: Thank you for this opportunity to comment on Andover's draft 2018 Comprehensive Plan update. My comments are focused on the solar elements of the plan, found in section 2, beginning on page 2-25. Based on the information provided by Metropolitan Council, Andover has significant undeveloped solar resources. Encouraging development of these resources can improve make our city more energy -secure and aid in economic development by helping to hold down energy costs. Companies may even choose to install solar on their properties and use battery storage to provide their energy needs. Our ordinances should not impede sound solar development, and our comprehensive plan should set the stage by helping to welcome greener developments. Looking at Andover's City Code, I found that ordinance 9-15 limits the size and location of ground - mounted systems, which reduces Andover's appeal to solar developers. It is appropriate for a city to set standards that protect community values, but an unduly restrictive standard has a negative impact on our community by reducing opportunities. New solar technologies have much potential to provide solar energy to Andover residents. One new development is large-scale battery storage which, when coupled with an array of solar collectors, can store solar energy for times of peak demand. The success of a project like this is described in this recent talk by Brian Burandt, Connexus Energy Vice President for Power Supply and Business Development — in this first 10 minutes of this video he describes two recently -installed solar + storage projects in our area. You can watch the video at this link: http://reflect-gctv.cablecast.ty/vod/9079-LWV-Connexus-Solar- U pdate-Dave-2019-0211-1850-High-v1.mp4 The following photos show the batteries and array at the installation in Isanti County on the left. This installation went on line January 1, 2019 —just two months ago. The right-hand picture shows how well these installations did generating electricity on the coldest days in years — their success was very clearly demonstrated at this time. The energy generated was stored in batteries and available in the evenings when demand was greatest. Connexus had energy to spare at this critical time when other utilities were running short. January Solar in Minnesota....

However, there are other ways that solar can be installed that would be more aesthetic. One is on roof tops, which may be coming soon to schools in our area. A bill now being considered in the House, House File 1133, would provide grants to schools to assist them in these solar projects. This story has more information on that bill: https://www.house.leg.state.mn.us/SessionDaily/Story/13646 Obviously, solar collectors don't provide energy at night, but when coupled with batteries, a solar array can provide energy into the evening. Electric cars are large energy users; one electric car would increase an average home's electric usage by about 50%. After -work charging of cars will add to peak usage in the early evening hours. Adding solar energy to a mix locally can help to provide power to meet that peak. Adding battery storage to the mix will provide more power in critical evening hours as the number of electric cars in our area grows. Other sorts of installations can use solar collectors as part of design, as shown here as parking lot canopies. https:Hnews.energysage.com/solar-canopy-insta llations- bring-shade-clean-energy-parking-lot/ The batteries can be placed in an inconspicuous location on the site. Connexus's solar installation at their offices in Ramsey is also home to an apiary where bees harvest pollen and nectar from pollinator plantings under the array. This is another way that solar can be a benefit to an area, both aesthetically and environmentally. Solar canopy installations: bring shade and clean energy to your parking lot In the video I referenced earlier, Brian Burandt talks about Connexus's goal to site more solar installations. Under their current contract with their energy producer, Great River Energy, Connexus can self -generate up to 5% of their total energy needs through solar or other sustainable methods. The current installations used by Connexus provide just 1%, leaving considerable room for further development. At 22.50 minutes into the video, Mr. Burandt is asked how Connexus chooses cities for solar development. He discusses what is needed for this development, and how Connexus is working to find new sites. The energy that is generated within a city stays within that city rather than being sold to the "grid". It would be good for Andover to explore options and modernize our ordinances to be more welcoming of solar installations so we can take advantage of solar opportunities when they arise. Andover's ordinance should pave the way for innovative projects to come to our city, not provide obstacles or deterrents. Our comprehensive plan should lay the ground work for this. I recommend that this portion of the plan be reworked to lead the way to further solar developments. Thank you for your consideration of these comments.
