The Metropolitan Council has determined our submittal to be incomplete. On October 22, 2019 city staff discussed with the City Council a few concerns Met Council raised related to density. Utilizing feedback from the work session staff has created two potential Future Land Use Map options. Staff is seeking City Council input related to the two options. OPTION #1: • Limits locations of Urban Residential Medium (URM, M1) • The two locations for URM are located on the Holasek Property at Hanson Blvd. and Crosstown Blvd. • Urban Residential High (URH, M2) is focused in the Sonsteby Property area located at the intersection of 7th Avenue and Bunker Lake Blvd. • Urban Residential High (URE, M2) needs a starting range of 19 units per acre. • The 19 units per acre will exceed the affordability expectation. Met Council only considers areas zoned for high density for the affordability calculations. The 19 units per acre is needed in order to achieve a 3 units per acre, however 19 units per acre times the acreage shown increases the potential affordability units. • The 19 units per acre does require additional infrastructure improvements: o Lift Station #5 will require pump upsizing with future development. Higher density requires larger pumps. o The 19 units per acre may require a larger "wet well" for lift station #5. o The 19 units per acre will require an 8" sewer line in 143`d Avenue between Woodbine Street and Vintage Street (the roadway was just reconstructed about 2 years ago). o A rough estimate to upsize the 143`d Avenue pipe is $300,000. OPTION #2: • Includes land for Urban Residential Medium (URM, Ml), scattered in strategic locations throughout the City. • The density range for Urban Residential Medium of 4 units per acre to 9 units per acre. o� The Density range for Urban Residential High of 9 units per acre to 16/20 units per acre. This option will leave us short of 100 affordable units. The two maps attached reflect OPTION 41 and OPTION 92. Both of the maps in the upper left hand corner provide details related to the unit range per land use designations, and acreages based on the expected time range of development. The "orange" boxes indicate the proposed future land use. The black arrows will point to the parcel where a proposed change from what was originally sent to Met Council. ACTION REQUESTED The City Council is requested to discuss the two options and provide feedback to the staff regarding future land use, density ranges, and physical locations. Once feedback is obtained staff will continue to work on completing the information for Met Council including working on a population projection.

Park Commission Chair Lindahl state ission has looked at it but there hasn't been a big push. He responded that most pickleball players use oor facilities. The Park and Recreation Commissioners left the meeting. g. 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE Mr. Janish explained the 2040 Comprehensive Plan has bee(hin e complete and there is a discrepancy between what the City believes population gro ill be what the Met Council has determined. This discrenancv is based on density the A boundary. Mr. Mr. Dicki unci er Holt is correct. He stated the City has 91 acres of medi ensity an acres igh density. He stated if we make changes to the Co sive Plan afte appr en the City would go through a Comprehensive Plan Amendm Mr. Janish stat the plan i of approved, Andover won't be able to extend the MUSA line. Mr. Dickinson presTsing er options of meeting the Met Council standards such as making the family lot size lowethe PUD process. He stated the last time the City made a significant update to the CompPlan was the year 2000, the last submission proposed no changes. Mr. Janish presented locations where Andover could have medium or high-density zones based on sewer capcity. He compared it to developments already completed in the City. He assured the Council that density pockets will need to be spread out due to pipe capacity. If Council is open to these ideas, staff can fine tune the areas where medium and high density is most feasible.
