PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
RESIDENT FORUM
RESPONSE TO STIJDENT LOITERING CONCERN - It was noted at the March 16, 2004 City
Council meeting, Mr. Terry Tobiason informed the Council that students from Andover High School
and others have been smoking and .loitering in the wooded area next to his property during school
hours. He is concerned about the fire potential in this area. Staff met with Captain Dave Jenkins,
Andover High School Principal Jerry Hanson; Mr. Tom Redman, the High School's Liaison Officer
and Terry Tobiason to discuss loitering and smoking that has occurred in the wooded area near Mr.
Tobiason's property. The school district is looking into installing a six foot fence along the west side
of Crosstown Boulevard NW along the High School property. They'are also using means of
deterring students from gathering in this location. The Sheriffs Department continues to question
students loitering in this area and staff is working with Mr. Tobiason on educating the neighbors
regarding the potential fIre danger due to smoking in the dense wooded area.
Mr, Rod Pakonen - 13890 Holly Street NW, stated he wanted to talk about the problem they have
had in their neighborhood over the last seven years with littering on garbage days. He described the
types of garbage found in the streets in his neighborhood. He thought if the City would issue a few
warnings it would solve the problem they have.
Mr. Pakonen stated he called the City and asked how many warnings have been issued on garbage
day. He did not think any warnings have been issued and he wondered if something could be done.

Mayor Gamache stated this is an issue that needs to be taken care of. He noted the residents could
call City Hall for recycle bins. Councilmember Trude stated she thought this was in neighborhoods
where there were a lot of childre,and also the recycle trucks mSViJ threagh thiJ neighberhoeàs ','ery.

Mayor Gamache stated the next time the City looks for recycle containers they could look at
containers with covers on them. Councilmember Jacobson suggested the resident should make a
flyer up and distribute it throughout the neighborhood bringing the litter to the neighbors' attention
and this may help to clean it up.
AGENDA APPROVAL
Add Item 30a, (Request From State Representative Chris DeLaForest) to Discussion.
Motion by Knight, Seconded by Orttel, to approve the Agenda as amended above. Motion carried
unanimously.
PRESENTATION OF AWARD/BOLTON & MENK/WATER TREATMENT PLANT/99-15
Mr, David Oxley, and Mr. Bob Brown, Bolton & Menk, presented the Water Treatment award to the
Mayor and Mr. Berkowitz for the City.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
March 16, 2004, Regular Meeting: Correct as amended.
Councilmember Trude stated in the discussion of the Sunshine Park Ball field lighting, there is
reference to the costs which are not quite right and do not add up. She thought there should be a line
in the minutes that states "The estimated Droiect costs for Sunshine Park Ball Field Lighting is
$298.000 and they are waiting on bids. which is the base bid."
Councilmember Trude stated on the last page, under Mayor/Council Input, "Andover Huskies Girls
Basketball Team"; she wanted to make a correction regarding the Girls Dance Team. She noted they
took second in the i~zz competition and not the high kick competition.
Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Trude, approval of Minutes as indicated above. Motion carried
unanimously.

Councilmember Jacobson stated there was a technical error on page three ofItem 17. He stated the
City has not requested approval of this; the person applying has requested approval.
Councilmember Trude stated there was another technical error on Item 17. She noted the applicant
needed to pay the trail fee and in number two it on1y states "Payment of park dedication fee..." It
should read "Payment of park dedication fee and trail fee based on the fee ordinance."
Councilmember Trude asked ifItem 11 had the trail easement on lot 1. Mr. Berkowitz stated there is
a significant amount of right-of-way in that area. They are recommending a square area near the
roadway be part of the County right-of-way. The majority of the plat shows the right-of-way except
that area. Mr. Neumeister asked the Mayor if they could amend the wording to read "Require a
dedication of right-of-way from the center line of the County highway, State Aid Hwy 20, a distance
of sixty feet." Councilmember Trude stated this would be item 8 in the resolution.

AWARD BID PACKAGE 1 & 2/REJECT BID CATEGORY2BICOMMUNITYCENTER
City Administrator Erar explained on March 30, 2004, the City Council authorized the award of Bid
Package 1 and 2, with the exception of Bid Category 2B rejecting the bids on landscaping and
irrigation. This action was dependent on the YMCA Board agreeing to absorb approximately half
the cost of the bid overages contained with Bid Package #3. The exact amount of the bid overages
will be determined on April 20, 2004 after the Construction Manager has had an opportunity to
renegotiate bid categories contained within bid package #3.
Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Trude, to adopt the attached resolutions forrnalizingthe Council's
motion to award Bid Package 1 (Res. R062-04), award Bid Package 2 (authorizing the removal of
Tower Drive-Crosstown Boulevard improvements and the removal of the north leg of Tower Drive
as a change order, and rejecting Bid Alternate #1 Res. R063-04) and Rejecting Bid Category 2B
(Res. R064-04). Bid Package #3 will be presented as items are renegotiated beginning on April 20,
2004 and throughout May 2004.
Councilmember Orttel stated under budget impact, he wondered if the steel price was the original
amount. Mr. Erar stated this relates to when bid package 1 went out, there were certain details the
architect did not fInish because the designs had not been completed and so the CM reserved those
amounts to be awarded at a later date. It was anticipated these could be bid at a later date.
Councilmember Orttel asked if the steel is at today's steel prices. Mr. Erar stated that it is.
Councilmember Orttel asked if making Tower Drive an MSA road is a certainty. Mr. Erar stated he
talked with Mr. Berkowitz and it was his understanding that it is. They have already talked to the
State and MSA office and have received confirmation on this, There would be a savings of roughly
$130,000 conservatively.
Councilmember Orttel asked if this amount would be shared equally between them and the YMCA
or would it come off of the City's share. Mr. Erar stated it would come off the project and be funded
through MSA. Councilmember Knight asked why this would not come off of the City's share
because this is being deducted from the YMCA already. Mr. Erar stated the amounts are being taken
completely out of the project budget and they have not made a decision as to what share of road
improvements was the YMCA's and what share would be the City's. Based on the fact that the
overages were so significant and the direction from the Council did not include negotiating any
proportionate breakdown, the MSA funds would capture the entire cost of those improvements on
behalf of the entire project.
Councilmember Trude asked if they were going to continue to evaluate this aspect of the project.
Mr. Berkowitz stated this was correct because there could be some design changes made to the
parking lot with access changes. They can still do the intersection improvements and use the State
Aid funds for those.
Mayor Gamache stated Mr. Dickinson and he have had discussions regarding the site clearing and he
thought Mr. Dickinson could discuss this. Mr. Dickinson stated the project was bid with a prevailing
Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes - April 6, 2004

wage requirement. He stated all the bidders will have to meet that minimum requirement.
Councilmember Trude stated this was all predicated on the YMCA paying a higher rate annually
because the costs went up and there were some things that were worked out with them over the
phone and she wanted to make sure they all understood how this all ended up because the YMCA
has some other issues to continue forward with the project at this higher rate and she wondered if
there was something in writing from the YMCA. Mr. Erar stated the letter was copied to the Council
on Monday.
Councilmember Orttel explained what was discussed at the City Council workshop.
Motion carried unanimously,
ACKNOWLEDGE COMMUNITY CENTER ICE ARENA MANAGER POSITION, CONT.
City Administrator Erar explained with the anticipated construction of the new Community Center
Ice Arena scheduled for opening in mid October, 2004, the need to recruit and hire an Ice Arena
Manager by no later than July 1, 2004 becomes critical to meeting a number of operational
requirements.
Ms. Peitso discussed the infonnation with the City Council.
Councilmember Jacobson made a number of suggested changes that he already discussed with Ms.
Pietso and he suggested they move this to the next work session because he thought they needed to
discuss this further.
Councilmember Trude had a few items that she wanted to discuss and she wanted to make sure there
is enough money left for all of the positions.
Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to move this item to the April City Council Work
Session, tentatively set for April 27, 2004.
Councilmember Orttel stated they will eventually need to take care of this item and he did not like
postponing this again.
Councilmember Knight stated it was his understanding that the High School will not be utilizing the
facility this year. Councilmember Orttel asked how this affects their profonna. Mr. Dickinson stated
the local associations will want to take as much ice as they can get so he did not think that as being a
problem. He encouraged the Council to make a decision on this soon.
Councilmember Orttel asked if there was someone on City staff that could handle scheduling ice
time for the time being. Mr. Dickinson stated they are trying to work through this but they are down
one person already. Mr. Erar stated the Ice Arena Manager will be taking on more responsibilities
Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes - April 6, 2004

than just scheduling ice time.
Councilmember Trude stated it was her understanding that if they hire for this position, there will not
be any more money in the budget for additio~, Mr. Erar stated this was not accurate; the
budget does have other positions identified wi . the proforma. ~ Lj...30-o'f

CONSIDER REZONING R-4 TO SC (SHOPPING CENTER)/CVS PHARMACY/B74S ROUND
LAKE BOULEVARD
Community Development Director Erar explained the City Council is asked to review the proposed
rezoning of the southern portion of the above single-family residential lot.
Mayor Gamache stated the Council received a letter from the owner of the property next to this
property.
Councilmember Jacobson asked what the current zoning of the surrounding property is. Mr.
Neumeister stated this is currently zoned Shopping Center.
Mr. Neumeister stated there is a letter from Mr. Dean and Mrs. Barbara Johnson asking the City
Council not approve the rezoning of this property or the conditional use permit.
Councilmember Knight asked what the status of the easement is and would they be rezoning if the
easement was not there. Councilmember Jacobson called a point of order. Mr. Neumeister stated
the rezoning should stand on its own. The merits of the change in conditions or that it was wrong in
the fust place is what needs to be considered.
Mayor Gamache stated they are rezoning nineteen feet of this property. He asked if they were only
purchasing the nineteen feet. Mr. Neumeister stated they would be purchasing the entire parcel but
on1y rezoning nineteen feet and then selling the rest of the property as residential.
Councilmember Orttel asked if they could extend the service road to access the property. Mr.
Berkowitz stated they never looked at the connection point and they could not run the road down the
County right-of-way because it would be too close to the access point at the intersection.
Mayor Gamache asked if the reason for this was to try to get two lanes of traffic behind the building.
Mr. Neumeister stated there were a number of reasons. One was to make sure the front green strip
along Bunker was to meet the minimum of twenty feet and then also behind the building where the
drive thru delivery would be and the access behind the building for fire protection would be
maintained at the minimum width of twenty-five feet and they also wanted to see an adequate buffer
between the residential and the back of the business.

Minutes - April 6, 2004

Mr. Dean Johnson, owner of the Precision Auto, explained the easement of the property.
Councilmember Orttel asked if the issue of the easement has been resolved. Mr. Neumeister stated it
has.
Mr. Tom Loucks explained to the City Council what they proposed to do to resolve the easement
situation with the loss of on1y one parking spot.
Councilmember Jacobson asked what the center island is for. Mr. Loucks stated this is used for a
directional guide for traffic.
Discussion ensued in regard to the shared access, easements and parking.
Councilmember Trude asked if there were going to be outside speakers related to the drive through.
Mr. Loucks stated there will be but it would not be loud like a car dealership. Councilmember Trude
stated she was concerned with the noise in the neighborhood with the speakers.
Councilmember Knight asked if there would be any screening on the north side. Mr. Loucks stated
there will be trees and a fence along the entire north property line.
Councilmember Jacobson asked if the easement agreement would still be in effect. Mr. Loucks
stated the cross easement was in effect. Mr. Loucks stated the other easement does not exist.
Mr. Johnson stated on the issue of the easement, his understanding is they cannot build anything on
the easement. Mr. Loucks stated they did not plan to build anything on the easement. Mr,
Neumeister discussed the type of easement being discussed.
Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Orttel, to approve the proposed rezoning.
Councilmember Trude asked if this was the place where they could extend the service road south.
Mr. Loucks stated he did not know of any benefit this would have for CVS Pharmacy.
Motion carried unanimously. (Ord. No. 288)
CONSIDER CONDITIONAL USE PERMITIDRIVE-THROUGH/CVS PHARMACYI363I
BUNKER LAKE BOULEVARD
Community Development Director Neumeister stated the City Council is asked to review the
proposed Conditional Use Permit for a drive-through window for CVS/Pharmacy at the location
currently occupied by Super America.
Mr. Neumeister stated the drive-through pharmacy will be located on the northwest corner of the
building and will include two drive-up lanes with a covered canopy and one thro.ugh lane. The drive-

through will be operated from 7:00 a.m. to 11 :00 p.m. and will be screened from residential
properties by landscaping and a solid wooden fence. Other details of the site plan will be addressed
through the Commercial Site Plan review.
Councilmember Trude thought there should be a condition added that the outdoor speaker should not
~beYOnd the property line. Mr. Neumeister stated this would be a reasonable condition. Mr.
Loucks stated they would take a condition of zero decibels at the property line,
6.. ~ ~nclut '--1-.),0-0"1
Councilmember Jacobson questioned the hours of drive-through operations and wondered if CVS
Pharmacy was open 24 hours a day. Mr. Loucks stated it was not. Councilmember Jacobson
thought they should add a condition six stating open 7:00 am to II :00 p.m.
Councilmember Orttel asked what the vertical position was between CVS drive through and the
adjoining property. Mr. Dean Johnson stated it would be four feet. Mr. Loucks stated they would
have a retaining wall separating them.
Motion by Trude, Seconded by Jacobson, to approve the conditional use permit with the conditions
included in the resolution with the additional amendments of noise provision and hours of operation.
Motion carried unanimously. (Res. R065-04)
CONSIDER PRELIMINARY PLAT/SOPHIE'S MANOR/I02I CROSSTOWN BOULEVARD
NW, CONTINUED
Community Development Director Neumeister explained the Council is asked to review a
preliminary plat of 46 urban lots on approximately 34 acres. This item was discussed at the March
30th Work Session. The Council determined that an access to Crosstown Boulevard will be provided
through the property located at 1155 Crosstown Boulevard.
Mr. Neumeister stated there is a letter from Mr. Tom LaHode, 15498 Yellow Pine Street and they are
concerned this has not been reviewed by the County. If approved, staff will submit this to the
County for their review and approval.
Mayor Gamache stated they have not heard from the County. Mr. Neumeister stated this was correct.
Mr. Berkowitz stated they have had prelirninary discussions with the County but there have not been
any promises. Mayor Gamache stated what they are proposing is Wintergreen would be the main
access in and out of the development but it could still be on1y right-inlright-out. Mr. Berkowitz
stated this is an option but if they do that, they lose in the future any further improvements paid by
the developer for this intersection.
Ms. Dorothy Lousy, representing Gordon Hines, 1155 Crosstown, stated Mr. Hines intentions are to
work with the Council and the developer on this parcel. They are in negotiations and there are some
issues that they are not agreeing on completely.
Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes - April 6, 2004
Page 9
Mr. Mike Quigley stated he was in contact with Mr. Hines and urged him to proceed with an
application to submit to the City and Mr. Hines stated he has had an offer from someone else on his
property and he may entertain that offer or develop this property himself. He slated he has not heard
from Mr. Hines yet.
Mr. Neumeister showed the drawing of the property access to the Council.
Councilmember Jacobson stated on the south side of Crosstown, there were soil considerations that
would make it almost impossible to build on. Mr. Neumeister showed an aerial of the property and
discussed the soil problems.
Councilmember Jacobson stated there is a suggestion that the developer proportionately fmance the
intersection. Mr. Quigley assumed they would not have much of an option.
Councilmember Jacobson thought there were two options for this item, The fIrst is they have the
option of saying there is no 'E t~rosstown and denying the preliminary or they suggest the
developer give them another 0 w~e to clear things up with the Hines. Mr. Quigley stated he was
not sure if it is a requirement of the plat that they have access to Crosstown and they have already
extended this sixty days and their buying the property is quite tight already because of the extensions.
He was not sure if anything was going to be accomplished within the two weeks with Mr. Hines,
~ Y--;;¡(}.-6-t
Discussion ensued in regard to alignment of Wintergreen Street and access.
Councilmember Trude thought they may want to look at the speed study for this area again.
Mr. Darren~ 15513 Yellow Pine Street, stated this item should not be approved based on items
that mayor may not be resolved. ~ "'h;l6-04
Councilmember Orttel stated he would be willing to meet with the County Commissioners regarding
the access issues.
Mr, Quigley stated he could possibly give the Council two weeks extension on this item. He stated
he would give the Council until April 20, 2004 to decide.

Mr. Tom LaHood, 15498 Yellow Pine Street stated he wanted to emphasis the contour design of the

Community Development Director Neumeister stated the Council is asked to review a preliminary
plat for Woodland Estates 6th Addition. The proposed project is located west of Nightingale Estates
3'd Addition.
Councilmember Jacobson asked what this will do to the developers work, because Veterans
Memorial Boulevard will be an MSA street. Mr. Berkowitz stated they have worked the issues out
and the same consultant that is doing the engineering for the developer is also going to be doing the
design for the State Aid Route.
Mr. Brian Johnson, Hakansen and Anderson, stated they have had some conversations regarding
Veterans Memorial Parkway and under Woodlands contract, they will be installing the sewer, water,

Councilmember Jacobson stated since Veterans Memorial Boulevard will be a major access street is
this going to be wide enough to accommodate the traffic in the future. Mr. Berkowitz stated they
looked at the projected ADT's for that area and the road width will be set to accommodate the ADT.
Councilmember Jacobson asked if there would be a trai1 going north/south. Mr. Berkowitz stated per
the transportation plan, they have a major trail corridor proposed to go on the north/south collector
street as the area develops. A map was shown of the area where the trail will be located.
Discussion ensued in regard to the trail along Veterans Memorial Boulevard.
Mr. Johnson showed a layout of the propDsed development with landscaping along the roadway.
Councilmember Trude asked who would be maintaining the ponds in the development. Mr.
Berkowitz stated once the development is approved by the City, they take over the ownership and
maintenance of the ponds, storm sewer system, trails and roadways.
The Council discussed the upkeep and maintenance of the land surrounding the ponds.
The City Council recessed at 9:45 p.m.
The City Council reconvened at 9:55 p.m.
Mr. Johnson stated in regard to the utility easement along Veterans Memorial Parkway, they would
be amenable to having covenant restrictions allowing the City to maintain that property or if they
would like an outlot for that area, they could provide an outlot. Mayor Gamache stated he did not
have an issue with that because it sounds like they would have it looking like a wetland. Mr.
Berkowitz stated this would be best addressed in the covenants, leaving that as a drainage and utility
easement but put those restrictions on it.
Councilmember Trude stated this will be a view and could enhance the neighborhood. Mr.
Berkowitz stated they could with the proper language cover all of the issues discussed.
Councilmember Knight reminded residents that truck traffic during development was already agreed
upon at previous meetings.
Councilmember Jacobson stated he did not see any access points for the City to get into the ponds on
the north side if needed. He wondered if they are missing access points to get in there. Mr. Johnson
stated they will not be missing any access points and they are on the grading plan. Mr. Berkowitz
believed this was covered but would be confirmed.
Motion by Trude, Seconded by Knight, to approve the Preliminary Plat for Woodland Estates 6111

CONSIDER SKETCH PLAN/COUNTRY OAKS WEST/llOII6IsT A VENUE NW
Co=unity Development Director Neumeister stated the Council is asked to review a revised
residential sketch plan for a single family and townhouse development formerly called "White
Tail Ridge". The revised plan attempts to address the issues raised by the City during the fIrst
round of sketch plan review.
Councilmember Trude asked if this would line up with the street that will come out at Sophie's
Manor. Mr. Berkowitz stated when this was brought up, they requested it be directly across from
Vale and the County said they did not like the idea because it was too close to the railroad. Now
the County is asking the road be moved closer to the tracks,
Discussion ensued in regard to access to the development and where the County wanted the road
placed.
Councilmember Jacobson stated he would like to have time to look at the sketch plan before
discussion and he has not had time to look at the new plans. The one thing he noticed that
changed was the request for town homes which would mean a PUD which would give the
Council more control.
Councilmember Trude stated she was concerned¡ecause theYJ1ft!ha lot of1~at are platted
and now that they have seen their sewer .pla¡i'1We: are going to aàil gg.t~,. rp",p~, She is \ '
concerned with the additional one hundred homes added to the sewe~tiliì:. ~ ~~ed' ~
if this development will be dependent on communal septic systems because they have never
talked about or had communal septic systems in the community. Mr. Neumeister stated one of
the concepts staff talked to the developers about is if they do not hold those lots for some kind of
communal system, they could do some large lot development there. (}.!í\'\.Wul 4- 2.l). ötf
Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes - April 6, 2004

Councilmember Knight stated he did not like sneaking into communal septic systems. Mr.
Neumeister stated they cautioned them that this is very speculative whether or not that could be
done but that is why they are showing it that way. In the short term on1y one hundred units
would be allowed until communal septic could be discussed further with the City.
Discussion ensued in regard to the allocated units for the sewer connection.
Councilmember Knight asked why the developer placed the twin homes along the railroad tracks.
The developer stated because homes along the tracks will be a harder sell and because this is a
twin home, they will have an association and more control over the look and will be able to
maintain them better. Councilmember Knight asked how far from the tracks the homes would
be. The developer stated they will be one hundred feet.
Councilmember Orttel asked if two thousand square feet was the size of the buildings. The
developer stated that was the size of the building pad.
Councilmember Trude thought the homes were really concentrated along the tracks.
Councilmember Orttel thought the twin homes were a good buffer and he did not have a problem
with them being along the tracks. Mr. Neumeister stated in discussion, staff thought there should
be some buffer from the homes to the pipelines. They thought the lots would need to be
deepened to provide a buffer.
Mr. Winslow Holasek stated when they put the pipeline in, he complained because they were
installing a thinner gauge pipe and they said it was because the area is rural. He told them that it
would be urban soon so they did install a heavier gauge pipe. 1-\ e ¡:) -te.U1LlnS OJ::-ou:t ~
\2K0fL\-X'~ . OJ~ +-2.0-0+ Mr. Neumeister thought they should ask for more depth because it was so close to the railroad.
The developer did not think there was any way they could give it more depth.
Councilmember Jacobson did not see any trails in the plans and he thought the developer should
look into clustering the units and having two story townhomes with more green space. The
developer stated that was what their fIrst plan was for this. He stated improvements on the new
ones were because of staff recommendations.
Councilmember Trude thought the idea of putting the road along the tracks was the best idea.
Discussion continued in regard to placement of the road in the development and buffering along
the railroad tracks.
Mr. David Luma, 16572 Sycamore Street, stated when they purchased their home, they were
attracted to the spaciousness of the lots and it has gotten to be such a build up. He enjoys the
wildlife and does not want to see that gone and if the growth continues, there will not be anything
left.

Ms. Jane Bankin, 16526 Sycamore Street, stated she is in favor of the plan they are seeing now.
She stated the developer has done a lot to preserve where they are at. She wanted to put her plea
in and ask them to look at Andover from the urban area to the rural area. She would like some
buffer between the large parcels and the small parcels.
Mr. Tom Bankin stated when they purchased their home fifteen years ago they were under the
impression that the surrounding area would also be maintained as 2 Y, acre plats. He would like
to see the area and the wildlife maintained.
Mayor Gamache stated he liked the idea that the land to the north will be considered as a
development with larger lots.
LOCATION UPDATE/OI-5/SKATE PARK EQUIPMENT
City Engineer Berkowitz updated the City Council on the new location for the skate park
equipment. He explained Dan Masloski and Dave Blackstad, members of the Skate Park Task
Force, have contacted churches and the school district to see if they would be interested in
allowing the equipment to be moved to their site for use by the public. Constance Free Church,
at the intersection of 16151 Avenue NW and Crosstown Boulevard NW, has expressed interest.
The Finance Department is currently researching insurance and liability issues associated with
the equipment being placed at the church.
Mr. Dickinson suggested the Council put in place a lease which outlines where the equipment
will be put and then they can deal with some of the issues of where the equipment will be placed.
The City's insurance policy, they would cover the skate board site like before.
Mayor Gamache asked if they would need to monitor this site. Mr. Dickinson stated they would
not need to monitor the site with the type of equipment they have.
Councilmember Knight appreciated Constance Free Church offering their site but he was
concerned with how far out from the kids it will be.
Mayor Gamache noted there was a Boy Scout in the audience and he asked him to come up and
introduce himself and explain what he was working on.
Joseph Regan stated he was there earning his Citizen and Community Merit Badge.
CONSIDER NEW TRAIL CONSTRUCTION PROÆCTS FOR 2004, CONTINUED
City Engineer Berkowitz explained this item is in regard to considering constructing new
Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes - April 6, 2004
Page 15
bikeway/walkway corridors during the year 2004. This item was tabled from the last City
Council meeting.
Councilmember Jacobson thought Option B makes a little more sense but they will have to get
additional easements/right-of-ways. Mr. Berkowitz stated with Option B they can work within
the right-of-way.
Councilmember Trude stated she wanted the trail along Hanson but after talking with staff, she
thought the Crosstown trail would be used a lot by children going to and from the schools and
would be utilized more.
Motion by Trude, Seconded by Jacobson, to go with Option B for this year and begin working on
Option E in the fall and winter months for next year.
Councilmember Jacobson stated his concern is that if they say they are going to do Option B and
then they meet with the residents and there are objections, the residents will feel that objecting
would do no good because it is already a done deal. He would rather meet with the residents and
then make a motion.
Mr. Berkowitz stated they need to come back to the Council to order plans and specs and will
bring the results back at that time.
Motion carried 4 ayes, 1 present (Orttel)
APPROVE EXTENSION OF CONTRACT/04-II2004 SEWER STUDY, CONTINUED
City Engineer Berkowitz stated the City Council is requested to approve the contract extension
with TKDA for Project 04-1,2004 Sewer Study.
Mayor Gamache asked if he has had enough time to review the new information. Mr. Berkowitz
stated he has reviewed the contract made changes and then the information was forwarded for
approval.
Councilmember Trude stated she asked if they could look at the company that did the Rural
Reserve sewer study and that was an option staffhad before deciding. This one was more
appropriate because they are going to look at the system overall where they hook up to Coon
Rapids. Mr. Berkowitz stated this was correct. WSB had a proposal of $34,000 to do just the
original study and TKDA's proposal was $9,100. He stated this is a substantially lower cost and
they feel very comfortable with the individuals that are working on this report. Councilmember
Trude stated they do not want to have a situation where they are not looking at the big picture
because she did not think they did this in the last study and that is why they are spending the
extra money. She wondered if they had paid more, would they have gotten a better study. Mr.
Berkowitz stated they have brought things to staffs attention along with Mr. Holasek for
Regular Andover City Council Meeting

evaluation.
Councilmember Jacobson stated two things concern him under the fIrst alternate, "Reduction of
the flow by redefining the 2020 MUSA boundary or decreasing the net development density".
He thought the whole study for $24,000 is getting to be a little expensive. He stated TKDA is a
good company but an additional $12,000 for the two new things is a lot especially when they
should already have the majority of the information in their database.
Councilmember Knight agreed. He wondered how much they were spending on consultants
yearly. Councilmember Jacobson stated the City had to alert them to items missed.
Mr. Erar stated the area that is now being proposed is a different area. It is on the west side of
Hanson Boulevard where the previous study was on the East side of Hanson. This is a direct
response to Council direction that they obtain additional quotes due to a resident suggestion that
there be a better solution to providing sewer services. This is not an extension of an area; it is an
entirely new study.
Councilmember Trude asked if the hourly rate is higher than before. Mr. Berkowitz stated each
year TKDA sends them their hourly rates and this information is based on an estimate of how
much time they will be spending on this study.
Councilmember Trude stated she was not impressed with the last study. Councilmember Orttel
stated the next closest bid is $34,000 and this bid is $12,000. He thought they should continue
with TKDA because they already have all the information about the sewer system.
Mr. Neumeister stated TKDA provided all the information requested with the fIrst study. He
stated this additional study will encompass more area. Mr. Berkowitz stated with the last study
they were on1y focused on the east side of Hanson Boulevard.
Mr. Holasek stated his concerns regarding the report from TKDA.
Councilmember Trude asked when TKDA does the study, will the City receive the data file so in
the future City staffwill be able to do some of this work internally. Mr. Berkowitz stated they do
receive the information.
Motion by Orttel, Seconded by Trude, to approve the contract extension with TKDA for the 2004
Sewer Study, Project 04-1. Motion carried unanimously.

CONSIDER TAXABATEMENT APPLICATION
City Administrator Erar stated preparation of the Anoka County Tax Abatement application is
well underway. At this point in the process, several issues have emerged which require City
Council direction.
Mr. Erar discussed the issues with the City Council.
Councilmember Jacobson asked if this is going to be an MSA street, is it any use going through
the tax abatement process at all. Councilmember Orttel stated this did not have to do with those
improvements; it had to do with signalization on that side. Mr. Erar stated that even if they were
able to use MSA dollars, they still have to get the County to approve the proposed improvements
because un1ess the County is willing to approve the improvement, they cannot utilize the funds.
Councilmember Trude stated the MSA funds can supplement the funding. Mr. Erar stated that
was true but on1y if the County is willing to approve this. He stated they have key issues they
need to nail down.
Councilmember Trude recapped previous meetings and infonnation regarding this.
Councilmember Orttel thought they should go ahead and do this. Mr. Erar stated that if they do
go forward with meeting with the County Commissioners, they are going to want to know where
the funds will be coming from so he thought the City should nail down where the money will be
coming from before meeting with them.
Mr, Holasek read a letter from him and his wife regarding their support of this item.
Mr, Darren Lazan stated he is a resident of Andover and Development Manager for Clock Tower
Commons. Mr. Lazan corrected the staff regarding the configuration at Bluebird and Crosstown.
He also wanted to compliment staff and RLK on their work on the traffic study. He thought this
was well done. He was concerned about the valuations that helped Mr. Erar evaluate his position
on the debt service that may be available. He stated the amounts seemed to be fairly low
compared to what they are seeing as development costs. Mr. Dickinson stated the values are
used on existing buildings within the City of Andover. These values are estimated to be
conservative because they do not want to over-estimate the abatement. Mr. Lazan thought there
could be additional revenue streams available. Mr. Dickinson stated if Mr. Lazan had better
infonnation for values, they could discuss using them. Mr. Lazan requested to work with staff on
getting better infonnation.
Mr. Lazan stated the School District has indicated they are unwilling to participate. They are in a
unique position of being a user at this intersection and also a government entity looking at
contributing their abatement dollars. He stated the School District has two large facilities at this
intersection all served from unimproved urban rural section roadways and he is concerned that
-
Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes - April 6, 2004
Page 18
the City has stepped forward and stated they are urbanizing and they have a major facility and
need to contribute to the improvements on the roadway. Commercial development is willing to
contribute also but the School District is not. He wondered if discussions could continue on that
front or where the discussion has been regarding this. Mr. Erar stated that letter was generated
after discussions Tom Durand had with Roger Giroux and it was also discussed with the School
Board. What is seen is actually feedback received from School Board members. If the City
wanted to pursue that, a letter would need to go to the School Board itself.
Mr. Lazan stated he is in support of this project and will draft a letter to Mr. Erar.
Councilmember Orttel stated the YMCA is interested in the improvements to the intersection but
they are not interested in contributing money for improvements. Mr. Erar stated they are
supportive but what Councilmember Orttel stated is correct.
Councilmember Trude thought the information was informative and will help them with their
presentation to the County. Mr. Erar noted they needed to get more letters and support to move
forward with this.
REQUEST FROM STATE REPRESENTATIVE CHRIS DELAFOREST
City Administrator Erar stated State Representative Chris DeLaForest is requesting Council
discuss the HF2739 Bill relating to the Anoka County Regional Railroad Authority authorizing
the Anoka County Regional Railroad Authority to exercise economic development authority
powers.
The Communication has been noted by the City Council.
