PRESENTATION/ANDOVER STATION MASTER PLAN/ADVANCE RESOURCES
Dennis Grebner, Grebner Associates, presented illustrations of the area as they propose it
should be developed noting that the concept is taking advantage of the existing ponds.
The area is shown as different parcels with Parcel A containing a supermarket, liquor
store and drug store. These buildings are proposed to be 115,000 square feet with 450
parking spaces. Parcel G shows apartment buildings (180 units) with retail shops on the
fIrst floor. There is a tie to the cinema with a path that goes across the entire
development. They have proposed that the buildings be one-story, two-story and three-
story structures.
Commissioner Orttel suggested that the ponds be enhanced if they are going to be
amenities. Dave Carlberg noted that they will work with the watershed board to urbanize
those areas. There is some mitigation and restoration that will be done and the city will
have to work with the watershed on what can and cannot be done with the ponds.
Commissioner Jacobson expressed concern with the apartment buildings abutting single
family homes to the south. Mr. Grebner explained that there is a substantial stand of
\ trees, some 50-60 feet tall, that will buffer the homes.

(Presentation! Andover Station Master Plan, Cont.)
Mike Mulrooney, Advance Resources, stated that the goal is to maximize the tax base for
the city. A concept needs to be developed where there are some day users in the area to
utilize the retail. If you compare this area with the ponds and the shops with Riverdale,
you see that the ponds are an asset. Mr. Mulrooney noted that the property is probably
going to develop from the west to the east. Feedback has been received from a developer
who will provide a letter of intent for one-third to one-half of the development site.
There has also been interest from 8 different banking facilities who are interested in this
site
(Commissioner Knight arrived at 6:56 pm.)
Mr. Mulrooney felt that the area will be developed by several developers.
(Commissioner Hupp arrived at 6:59 pm)
Mr. Mulrooney explained that they are trying more of a downtown concept with this
" project. He asked that the EDA make some sort of motion regarding the master plan.
<)

the concept for Andover Station presented on July 5, 2000.
Motion carried unanimously.
Motion by Johnson, seconded by Orttel to adjourn. Motion carried.
