RECEIVE ANOKA COUNTY SHERIFF DEPARTMENT MONTHLY REPORT
Commander Dave King, Anoka County Sheriff's Department, provided an update on law
enforcement activities occurring within Andover.
INTRODUCTION OF ANOKA COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES - 2003/VERBAL
Anoka County Sheriff Andersohn presented to the City Council the staff that will be working the
City of Andover contract. Sheriff Andersohn thanked the City for the opportunity to serve them.
Councilmember Jacobson stated that when they look at the staff they have at the Sheriffs'
Department and what it costs per year for everything compared to other cities, they are considerably
under what other cities spend and the service is good if not better than what the other Cities get out
of their police forces.
Sheriff Andersohn introduced Lieutenant Dave Jenkins who will temporarily be taking command of
the patrol division because Commander Dave King has been appointed as Undersheriff and will
serve in one of two Undersheriff's positions at the main office so he will no longer be responsible for
Andover's patrol services.
Mayor Gamache congratulated Commander King on his promotion and stated they appreciate the
work that the Sheriff's Department has done.
APPROVE DESIGNATION OF RURAL RESERVE AREA
Community Development Director Neumeister explained there were neighborhood open house
meetings that were held during various times. At those meetings, City staff presented information to
the interested property owners regarding the differences between the various alternatives. During
those meetings, staff was interested in obtaining comments and/or feedback from affected property
owners.
Mr. Neumeister summarized the information obtained at the open houses. He showed a diagram of
Alternative area I.
Councilmember Trude stated that when they signed the agreement with the Met Council, there was
not any reference that all the Jand must be buildable and that is the reason they picked those areas.
She thought they were going beyond what they negotiated. Mr. Neumeister stated the intent behind
this was they would try to achieve one thousand buildable acres because what the Met Council was
looking for was a net acreage to meet the projections to develop an additional base for a population
that is coming.
Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes - January 21, 2003

Councilmember Jacobson stated in reading the letters from residents, there was a misunderstanding
about being included in the Rural Reserve area. Mr. Neumeister stated if their property is in the
Rural Reserve area at some point in the future, there could be a City Council or property owners who
would begin the process of bringing the sewer line into the area. Councilmember Jacobson stated
until then, they would not be allowed to subdivide the property and sell it off. He stated the sewer is
not coming in the next year; it is in the 2020 plan. Mr. Neumeister stated they could see property
owners coming sooner to try to expand the sewer line.
Mr. Richard Pearson, 2863 South Coon Creek Drive, stated surprisingly there are people on South
Coon Creek Drive indicating they do not want this. He stated east of them on South Coon Creek
Drive, there are larger parce!s and if they are going to be hooked up, it would make sense to install
sewer on their portion rather than run it up into another area that would be a future one thousand acre
approval. He stated it does not make sense that if they are going to run all the way down to Bunker
Lake Boulevard that they do not service that portion of South Coon Creek Drive and make available
to the rest of it and keep the development consistent in moving up in that same area so he would
strongly support the recommendation of staff.
Mr. Neumeister showed a map of the areas in Agricultural Preserve currently in the City and
discussed the information with the Council. Discussion ensued regarding the expansion of the sewer
line.
Ms. Kay Aasness, 16425 Hanson, asked ifher property would be affected. Mayor Gamache stated if
the area was included, it would restrict the ability to split the property but they would not be forced
to get the sewer.
Mr. Tyler Woosley, representative of Prairie Oak Community Church, stated Constance Free Church
has sent a letter requesting sewer and water service and he stated they are in the same position and
would request sewer to their land also.
Mr. Jim Knoll, 14817 Round Lake Boulevard, explained his opinion on Rural Reserve and stated
their hope was to build a retirement home on the property and split off the two and a half acre parcel
but under the regulations that the Rural Reserve entails, they would not be able to get a two and a
half acre split. They have consistently asked not to be included. He stated in talking for Knoll
Farms, they have been continuously told the paper work states 2020 but the minute this is put into
Rural Reserve, they could have sewer put in within two years. City Attorney Hawkins stated the
statement by Mr. Neumeister has always included the language in it that it can only be done upon
agreement with the Met Council and the only way this could occur would be if the Met Council
allows the City to back out of the contract. Mayor Gamache stated it has to be a four/fifths vote and
then it goes to the Met Council for approval and it would be misleading to say it cannot happen. Mr.
Knoll stated he is against this.
Further discussion ensued regarding the agreement with the Met Council and what was expectcd of
the City.

Mr. Horst Graser, Brooklyn Park, stated he is representing the Boyum family and was asked by the
Boyum family to reiterate the interest of their land that they own in area lA. He stated they sent a
letter to Mr. Neumeister stating the Boyum family decided it would be in the best interest to sell their
land and they would like to work with the City at a future date when the specific area is put on paper.
Councilmember Trude asked if they are interested in being in the elliptical circle. Mr. Graser stated
they would like to be included.
Discussion resumed between the Council regarding the sewer lines and the capacity they can handle
along with the placements.
Councilmember Trude asked the City Attorney to look into their contract again because she believes
they are doing more than they need to.
Ms. Mary Jo Davich, 2780 South Coon Creek Drive, discussed her concerns regarding the safety on
a road north of the high school.
Mr. Ken SIyzuk, 15211 Nightingale Street, stated they are hearing different things than what they
heard at the public meetings. They were told that once the sewer becomes available, they can request
it. He stated if they are taking his land out of production for seventeen years, he expects
compensation fornot being able to do anything with his land. Mayor Gamache stated if they did not
do this and they had land, the sewer capacity will only take in a certain amount and what they are
intending to do is bring the sewer up from Coon Rapids.
Councilmember Trude stated she would like something in writing regarding this and possibly have a
representative from the Met Council at a meeting to answer questions.
Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Trude, to table the decision until the last Council meeting in April
2003 and prior to this meeting have a representative from the Met Council come and explain what is
allowed and what is restricted.
Mr. Byron Westlund stated he has a transaction with the Slyzuk family for the five acre lot split and
he would like this split to occur. Mr. Erar stated they have indicated at the stafflevel to both the
property owner and developer that lot split restrictions are in place in the Resolution. He believed
the resident and developer were under the understanding before the Resolution was adopted that this
would be an administrative lot split so they may have a unique situation. He stated that if the land
area is part of the Rural Reserve when it is adopted, they still would have the restriction in place.
This would not put them in any better place in the future unless the particular parcel was taken out of
the Rural Reserve area. Councilmember Trude stated she thought this was another issue that should
be brought up with the Met Council.
Motion carried unanimously.
Council recessed at 9: 15 p.m.

Council reconvened at 9:20 p.m.
CONSIDER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT/MUSA BOUNDARY FOR
WOODLAND CREEK GOLF VILLAS/3200 S. COON CREEK DRIVE
Mr. Neumeister stated the applicant is requesting that the Woodland Creek Golf Course be brought
into the MUSA to allow the proposed Woodland Creek Golf Villas project to be constructed. The
clubhouse facility would also connect to municipal sewer and water when it becomes available. The
remainder of the golf course beyond the proposed development site and the clubhouse area lies
within a flood plain and is not buildable.
Councilmember Jacobson stated he likes the project and he wants to make sure they are doing it
right. He had some concerns that he discussed with the Council and staff.
Discussion was brought up regarding the legal description of Outlot A and what should be included
in the Resolution. Mr. Neumeister showed a map of the golf course showing Outlot A with Tract A
and Tract B. City Attorney Hawkins stated they could designate in the Resolution a map showing
where the area is.
Mr. Vanelli stated this will be an Association and they do not want the golf course included in the
Association lots. He also stated that they are talking about an easement across the golf course for the
trunk line and he would like to find out what the timing would be for this and the restoration of the
golf course.
Motion by Knight, Seconded by Trude, to approve Item No. 15 (Consider Comprehensive Plan
AmendmentlMUSA Boundary for Woodland Creek Golf Villas/3200 S. Coon Creek Drive -
Resolution ROIO-03), changing the heading of the Resolution and changing Item 1 in the Resolution
to reflect the acreage to include the clubhouse and parking area as Tract A. Motion carried
unanimously.
CONSIDER SPECIAL USE PERMIT/WOODLAND CREEK GOLF COURSElLIQUOR
LlCENSE/3200 S. COON CREEK DRIVE
Community Development Director Neumeister explained the applicant is seeking approval of a
Special Use PeTI1lit for an on sale liquor license within the principal structure of the subject property.
Mr. Neumeister noted that due to an error on staff's part, the Public Notice mailings did not include
all of the properties within 350 feet of the golf course. Instead, notices were mailed to those
properties within 350 feet of the proposed to\\11home development.
Councilmember Jacobson stated in the Resolution, there is an issue with Outlot A and he would like
this restricted to Tract A only. City Attorney Hawkins stated norn1aIly they are restricted to only the

restaurant and he would think they would need to include the entire golf course. Mr. Neumeister
stated Outlot A describes the entire golf course.
Motion by Knight, Seconded by Trude, to approve Item No. 16 (Consider Special Use
Perrnit/W oodland Creek GolfCourselLiquor License/3200 S. Coon Creek Drive - Resolution RO 11-
03), to include the clubhouse as well as cart and vehicle sales in Outlot A. Motion carried 3 ayes, 1
nay (Jacobson).
CONSIDER LOT SPLIT/WOODLAND CREEK GOLF COURSE/3200 S. COON CREEK
DRIVE
Community Development Director Neumeister explained Olvan Properties has requested a lot split
to separate a development site for the Woodland Creek Golf Course Villas from the remainder of the
Woodland Creek Golf Course.
Councilmember Jacobson stated that within a plat, they can ask a deve!oper to grant easements but
outside a plat the City cannot ask for these. He wanted to make sure an easement is freely given by
the owners and that it is done in the right way. Mr. Vanelli stated they understand this but would
need some input as to timing and they would need some rum commitments and that their concerns
will be honored. City Engineer Berkowitz stated they try to make sure that the owners' needs are
met during the construction.
Mayor Gamache asked if the lines will be run right along the creek. Mr. Berkowitz stated the
location has not been set but he assumed they would have a certain setback requirement from the
creek and they would address that as they went through the design.
Motion by Trude, Seconded by Knight, to approve Item No. 17 (Consider Lot Split/Woodland Creek
GolfCourse/3200 S. Coon Creek Drive- Resolution RO I 2-03) with the changes discussed including
accommodating the golf course when the trunk line goes through to the best of their ability and
changing the second item in the Resolution to item five.
Mr. Erar stated he would like to use some language stating they would accommodate the petitioner to
the best of the City's ability. Mr. VaneIli stated their biggest concern is that would be taking one
entire hole out of operation including the practice green and driving range which would be a
financial burden on them. Mayor Gamache asked if they could wait until after October 31 to start the
project, Mr. Berkowitz stated they could wait until then but digging through the frost would add to
the cost and in terms of restoration they would not be able to accomplish this until the next spring.
Motion carried unanimously.

DRIVE
Community Development Director Neumeister explained a Special Use Permit request to develop a
Planned Unit Development (POO) consisting of 11 detached townhouse units on approximately four
acres of the Woodland Creek Golf Course. Approval of the Special Use Permit will allow the
development to be constructed according to alternative development standards created specifically
for this development.
Mr. Neumeister discussed the staff report with the Council and stated the Planning Commission
recommended approval of the proposed Special Use Pennit. He stated the Commission was divided
on whether the units should be required to provide different exterior elevations.
It was noted that the Council asked if there was anyone in opposition to this because the notices were
not sent to all residents affected. No one spoke up.
Motion by Trude, Seconded by Jacobson, to approve Item IS (Consider Special Use PermitIPlanned

Community Development Director Neumeister explained the City Council is asked to review a
preliminary plat for Woodland Creek Golf Course Villas, an II lot urban subdivision.
Councilmember Jacobson stated the location of the lift station by the playground area needs to be
moved to the east and should be reflected in the plans. The Engineer of the project stated they were
aware of this. Councilmember Jacobson stated there was a maintenance garage and shed which is
marked to be moved, but they failed to show the removal of the concrete which needed to be
reflected in the plans.
Councilmember Jacobson stated the maintenance building is being relocated which is subject to
another commercial site plan on the property and he wondered if there are going to be a lot of trucks
and vehicles going along the trail between the houses. Mr. Olson stated this will be an accessible
driveway for workers to the maintenance facility. He stated there would be no deliveries back there.

Mr. Neumeister stated the Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed Special
Use Permit with a 4-1 vote. The Commission was divided on whether an outlot should be
allowed to be created for the private driveway.
Councilmember Jacobson stated he would like to add an item six to the Resolution, allowing a
variance from Ordinance 205 to allow similar houses next to each other, which would allow for
the variance to be consistent.

Councilmember Trude stated the concerns of the fire department will be covered in the

number five and will follow through in the covenants.
Councilmember Jacobson asked on the lot closest to 133'd Lane, on the south end of the garage,
part of the structure is designated as maintenance but what if the homeowner who buys the lot
decides to use that part of the garage for their things, could they use that portion of the garage.
City Attorney Hawkins stated there are probably provisions in the Association documents that
would reserve the right of the Association to use that portion of the garage and they would make
sure they are included in the covenants.
