Approve Letter ofCredit/Developer Assessments/98-27/Fox Hollow Motion by Trude, Seconded by Knight, approval of the Consent Agenda as just read: DISCUSSION: Jerry Windschitl. Ashford Development - asked for the ability to present an objection to the assessments and notification of appeal. He did not realize his items on Chesterton Commons 3'd and North were on the consent agenda. He asked when he will be able to discuss these items. Attorney Hawkins advised the City can accept the objection either before or after the vote. The developer waived the public hearing if the assessments are less than the engineer's estimate, which they are. He felt under the Development Contract, he does not have the right to appeal. Mr. Windschitl stated their objections are based on representations that were made to them in the field. The contractor did things in the field that created a nightmare for them. Representations were made by Staff and consulting engineers as to what would take place, but just the opposite has taken place. Attorney Hawkins advised the vote this evening is just to order the preparation of the assessment roll. If Mr. Windschitl wishes to prepare written questions for the Staff to look at before the roll is accepted, they would look at those and respond. He didn't believe tonight is the proper time to discuss these items. Motion carried on a 4- Yes, I-Absent (Orttel) vote. APPROVE ASSESSMENT SERVICES CONTRACT/ANOKA COUNTY Councilmember Jacobson stated the budget impact for assessment services is over $102,000. He questioned that price. Properties are inspected once every four years at an average cost of $11 each. That comes to about $26,000 per year. He understood there are overhead costs; however, he felt the service contract was excessive. He suggested this item be tabled until the county can justify where the money goes. He wanted to be sure the City is charged the proper amount. Mr. Dickinson explained the county dedicates one staff member to the City plus time of another individual. Their fee for assessment services is the same per parcel throughout the county for all cities they service. He agreed to ask the county to justify their costs. Possibly a representative ITom the county should be invited to the next meeting to answer questions. .-- -- - ~ -- - -~- -.., .. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes-November 20,2001 Page 3 (Assessment Services Contract/Anoka County, Continued) Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Trude, to delay this to the next meeting so that the county can provide additional detail for us. Motion carried on a 4- Yes, I-Absent (Orttel) vote. AMEND ORDINANCE 150AnRANSIENT MERCHANT ORDINANCE Councilmember Jacobson was concerned that as written, transient merchants would be able to sell a wide variety of items related to Christmas, and he did not think that was the intent. He suggested deleting the phrase in the definition "..and other Christmas related items." Council discussion was that there are other items related to Christmas trees sales such as swags, garlands, evergreen boughs and wreaths. There was some discussion on leaving it as worded versus changing it so it isn't so open ended. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, the Amendment to Ordinance 250A, Transient Merchant Ordinance, with the change in Subdivision A. Definitions: Christmas Tree Sales - a business in the city that is seasonal and consists of selling Christmas trees and wreaths. Motion carried on a 3- Yes, I-No (Gamache as he preferred to leave it the way it was presented), I-Absent (Orttel) vote. RECEIVE ANOKA COUNTY SHERIFF DEPARTMENT MONTHLY REPORT Captain Dave King, Anoka County Sheriffs Department, reviewed the activities of the Sheriffs Department in Andover during the month of October, 200 I. They responded to 848 calls, totaling 9,577 calls year-to-date. That compares to 8,041 calls year-to-date at this time last year. Councilmember Trude understood there was an incident at Sunshine Park this past week. She advised the public that if they see people around the building at night to call the police. Mr. Erar stated that was related to the Sheriffs Department. The City did file an insurance claim for the damages. Captain King stated they rely a lot on the public sector to tell them what is going on in the parks. PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION SURVEY RESULTS/PRESENTATION William Morris and Peter Leatherman, Decision Resources, Ltd., gave a presentation on the results of a survey they performed for the City regarding park and recreational activities. They surveyed 400 randomly selected households between September 19 and October 3. Overall he noted that people moved to the City because of the affordable housing and land, its location, its open spaces, its quietness and peacefulness and the good schools. Most felt the issues facing the City are growth concerns, school funding, traffic, conditions of the roads, water treatment facilities, lack of a city police department, taxes and crime. Mr. Morris said in comparing this to other metropolitan cities, the tax climate is one of the most benign, as the majority feel the taxes were average in conjunction with other communities. -. . - , -.-----....- ..----.. , Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - November 20, 2001 Page 4 (Park and Recreation Commission Survey Results/Presentation, Continued) Mr. Morris reported a majority felt the current park and recreation facilities offered are excellent or good, which is double the metropolitan area norm. Two areas of dissatisfaction were neighborhood parks and playground equipment. The trail system, community parks, athletic fields, tennis courts, ice rinks and natural areas were rated very high. A high percentage would support the expansion of the overall trail system. The general feeling that the current mix of activities met household needs was twice as high as the metropolitan area norm. Additional facilities they would like to see were a community center, more parks, more trails, more athletic fields, an ice arena and an indoor swimming pool. About 48 percent said they did leave the community to pursue recreational activities elsewhere. Those households that have children indicated they participate in soccer, baseball, basketball, softball, football and hockey, in that order, plus participation in community education programs. Over 94 percent were satisfied with their experiences. About 80 percent felt the recreational programs offered are sufficient for their needs, which is in line with the metropolitan area norm. Residents typically were willing to see property taxes increase under $26 per year to further develop the parks. When asked which feature they would like to see in a community center or athletic complex, the most popular feature was a swimming pool. Other items that received a solid level of support included a gymnasium, an ice arena, basketball fields, indoor water park, and curling. The only two facilities people generally opposed were racketball courts and squash courts. The inclusion of an ice arena had one of the lowest levels of opposition they found in the metropolitan area. Mr. Morris stated in general, 73 percent indicated they would favor a community center athletic complex, with 43 percent of them strongly favoring it. The majority would like to see a dual track approach to parks and recreation, which includes both improving current facilities plus an athletic complex. Typically the residents are willing to see property taxes increase a little over $41.25 per year for those improvements and the community facility, but 17 percent were willing to see property taxes increase double that amount. Mr. Morris suggested translating that into the dollar amount of funds and then prioritizing as to what the people support. A majority would favor a combination approach of user fees and general subsidy to maintain a community center. Mr. Morris stated in general the survey shows the residents are very pleased with the way the community is going; that there is only minor dissatisfaction with park facilities, particularly with playground equipment and neighborhood parks; that there is a very large amount of support for the expansion of the trail system and of a multidimensional community facility being constructed but with specific financial constraints on their property taxes; that there is support for augmenting the current park and recreational system as well as constructing a new facility. In discussing the results with the Council, Mr. Morris felt that because there was a large segment of the population that favored a swimming pool, to propose a facility without it would mean people would not support it. To gain support for a bond referendum to pay for these improvements would require a fairly aggressive community campaign and engagement of the citizens. The contradictions were when people were thinking of the facilities and not thinking about the price tags. That is typically what they find to be the case. He acknowledged that the support for an ice arena was low, _o_____ --- Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - November 20, 2001 Page S (Park and Recreation Commission Survey Results/Presentation, Continued) but that has been their experience throughout the metropolitan area. When that is put in bond issues, it is not surprising to see a reversal and an increase in support, especially among households with children. The Council asked for a breakdown of the responses by households of various age levels, particularly in response to parks and a community center. Mayor Gamache asked if they have ever done a second survey to determine, for example, if they are still on track with the residents if they should proceed with a community complex facility. Mr. Morris stated yes. They have done it for three communities because of a community complex. They found a significant change in people's attitudes and even the number of people supporting a bond referendum. A full-service community center with an indoor swimming pool was approved in all three communities. There is certainly a shelflife of the survey. If the planning process goes for more than a year, then a number of things become stale. They find a 94 percent success rate between what people say on the survey and what they do in the ballot box. He explained those who answered that they were unsure fall into one of two groups, either really wanting detail before making a decision or for whatever reason are not interested and are not inclined to vote. They found the second group to be the case when they survey closer to a referendum. He also noted that for a successful referendum, the City must provide good information and there needs to be a citizen grass roots effort to provide the persuasive material. The Council agreed a sununary of the results should be placed in the City's newsletter, possibly the January issue. It was noted the results are also posted on the City's web site. The results can also be discussed over cable TV, particularly in the Council update. No further specific action was taken. PUBLIC HEARING: INTERIM ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A ONE-YEAR MORATORIUM ON NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICTS AND PLANNED UNIT DEVEOPMENTS Mr. Erar explained the proposal is to establish an interim ordinance establishing a one-year moratorium on commercial developments and construction in Neighborhood Business Zoning Districts and in Planned Unit Developments with an NB designation. A supplemental item is to discuss the hiring of a professional planning consultant to study the impacts of developments in the NB areas. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Trude, to open the public hearing. Motion carried on a 4- Yes, 1- Absent (Orttel) vote. 8:34 p.m. Paul Eugene. ISll 138th Lane NW - urged the City Council to enact the interim ordinance. The people in Hills of Bunker Lake are very concerned about the Neighborhood Business zone along Hanson Boulevard, particularly the retail service station being planned there. The people have lJeen opposing that for years and are very concerned with the traffic and environmental concerns as well as other problems with that type of development. The moratorium allows the City to study whether there are uses more appropriate for that particular part of their neighborhood. He also felt it is . - - -.----....- -- . , Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - November 20, 200i Page 6 (Public Hearing: interim Ordinance/Moratorium on NB and PUD, Continued) appropriate to study other Neighborhood Business zones as well. Mr. Erar noted all areas zoned Neighborhood Business will be reviewed. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to close the hearing. Motion carried on a4- Yes, I-Absent (Orttel) vote. 8:38 p.m. Motion by Trude, Seconded by Knight, the ordinance as prepared (an interim ordinance regulating the use and development of land within the City of Andover for the purpose of protecting the planning process, official controls and the health, safety and welfare of the City) Motion carried on a 4- Yes, I-Absent (Orttel) vote. PUBLIC HEARING: DELINQUENT FALSE ALARM FINES Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to open the public hearing. Motion carried on a 4- Yes, 1- Absent (Orttel) vote. 8:42 p.m. There was no public testimony. Motion by Trude, Seconded by Jacobson, to close the public hearing. Motion carried on a 4- Yes, 1- Absent (Orttel) vote. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, approval of the Resolution (See Resolution R169-01 adopting the assessment roll for the certification of delinquent false alarm fines) Motion carried on a 4- Yes, I -Absent (Orttel) vote. PUBLIC HEARING: DELINQUENT MOWING CHARGES Motion by Trude, Seconded by Knight, to open the public hearing. Motion carried on a 4- Yes, 1- Absent (Orttel) vote. 8:43 p.m. There was no public testimony. Motion by Trude, Seconded by Jacobson, to close the public hearing because there is no one present. Motion carried on a 4- Yes, I-Absent (Orttel) vote. Motion by Trude, Seconded by Knight, to approve the Resolution (See Resolution R170-01 adopting the assessment roll for the certification of delinquent mowing charges) Motion carried on a 4- Yes, 1- Absent (Orttel) vote. APPROVE FINAL PLATIPRAIRIE ACRES/S. W. WOLD Motion by Trude, Seconded by Jacobson, to table this to the December 4 meeting. Motion carried on a 4- Yes, I-Absent (Orttel) vote. - Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - November 20, 2001 Page 7 SCHEDULE CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP 1010 COMP PLANIMETROPOLITANCOUNCIL REVIEW COMMENTS Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to schedule the meeting on December 6, 7:00 p.m. Motion carried on a 4- Yes, I-Absent (Orttel) vote. SCHEDULE EDA MEETING Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to hold the EDA meeting on December 18,2001, 6 p.m. DISCUSSION: Council asked for a copy of Mr. Mulrooney's contract prior to that meeting. Councilmember Trude suggested ifthere is time, Item 6 be added to the agenda to discuss the use of land owned by the EDA for a potential community center facility. Motion carried on a 4- Yes, 1- Absent (Orttel) vote. CLOSURE OF CITY HALL ON MONDA Y, DECEMBER 14, 1001 Motion by Trude, Seconded by Jacobson, approval as proposed. DISCUSSION: Mr. Erar explained the City Hall will be closed with respect to the general public. Any staff who would like to come and work may do so. Any Staff who wishes to take the day off would be required to use their floating holiday, comp time or vacation time. Motion carried on a 4- Yes, I-Absent (Orttel) vote. APPROVE PLANNING CONSULTANT SERVICES AGREEMENT/NB DISTRICT STrJDY Mr. Erar explained he met with Mr. Brixius of Northwest Associated Consultants, Inc., regarding the proposed study. He felt the firm's fee is in line with other companies, though he has obtained no other quotes. Mr. Brixius indicated the study would take approximately 12 weeks. Because the moratorium is for 12 months, the Council does have the option of tabling this to obtain additional quotes. He felt some portion of the costs could be covered by the EDA, subject to EDA approval. Northwest Associated Consultants was contacted because they worked with the Park and Recreation Commission on their park facilities and are familiar with the City. Councilmember Jacobson suggested obtaining quotes from other firms since time is not an issue at this point. Attorney Hawkins advised he has had an opportunity to work with this firm in other communities. Mr. Brixius called him to get the background on this issue. The firm has done quite a bit of similar studies for other communities. He would give them a high recommendation, noting they have testified in court on controversial issues in other communities. Mr. Brixius thoroughly understands what is needed from a legal perspective ifthere will be a change. He felt very confident that the firm knows the legal standards and will provide a report that can be defended against legal action. Councilmember Trude did not want to keep the moratorium on for longer than necessary. She was confident of Attorney Hawkins' recommendation. ~~- - - --- - - , Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes-November 20.2001 Page 8 (Professional Planning Consultant Services, Continued) Councilmember Jacobson noted there are areas in the Comprehensive Plan that are noted for potential commercial areas. He felt those areas should be included in this study as well. Mr. Erar stated he would ask Mr. Brixius if the scope of the proposed study could be expanded to include those areas for the same cost. Motion by Trude, Seconded by Jacobson, to approve the consultant and the services agreement with Northwest Associated Consultants, Inc., with a not to exceed fee of $5,700 for this study with an additional $250 for attendance at meetings with Staff members; and Staff to research where the funds should come from. DISCUSSION: Mr. Dickinson noted the funds will be paid from two different fund years. Mr. Erar stated he will also look at how much the EDA can cover since this does have some economic development impact. Motion carried on a 4- Yes, I-Absent (Orttel) vote. MAYOR/COUNCIL INPUT Metropolitan Council meeting- Mayor Gamache reminded the Council of the Metropolitan Council meeting to be held at the Anoka County Government Center on Wednesday, November 28 ITom 7 to 8:30. Because at least three Councilmembers indicated they would be there, Mr. Erar was asked to post it as a special Council meeting. Locked case for notices - Councilmember Trude suggested that because official notices are being removed from the bulletin board that possibly there should be a locked case in which to post those notices. Survey results/Senator Debbie Johnson - Councilmember Jacobson stated he provided a copy of the survey results that was done by Senator Debbie Johnson. Park and Recreation Commission reward program - Councilmember Jacobson noted this issue was passed on the Consent Agenda, but no funding was approved for the rewards. He didn't think park dedication fees could be used for that purpose and wondered where the money would come from. Mr. Erar stated that item was purely informational. The reward program itself was not approved. They are waiting until someone is able to coordinate it. Mr. Dickinson agreed park dedication fees cannot be used for that purpose. Attorney Hawkins stated in talking to the county attorney, the City, as the victim, is able to obtain the information relating to any juvenile that is found guilty of park vandalism. Redistricting - Council member Trude noted the proposal to divide the City of Andover into two housing districts. She found this information on a web site. Ultralites - Councilmember Trude stated a family has formally filed a complaint with the FAA regarding the ultralite issue otTPrairie Road. She also noted the letter from the FAA which indicated that that area is considered a congested areas under federal regulations and that it is illegal for ---- - -~ - -->-_.... - Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - November 20, 2001 Page 9 (Mayor/Council Input, Continued) ultralites to be operated in that area. Mr. Erar also noted the Planning Commission has continued the public hearing on the issue. They will be considering the noise and safety issues.
