Review Commercial Project Activity
August 16, 2022
Staff will provide a progress report on ongoing commercial project activity at the meeting.
ANDOVER COMMERCIAL PROJECTS
• Hearth Development, 1714 Bunker Lake Blvd. NW — Loco Fitness and Nystrom and Associates
are renting space. Milk Moms is also utilizing a portion of the building for retail storage.
• Clock Tower Commons —The final building pad location interest is relatively low at this point.
• Andover High School — The high school is planning to add an additional garage near the
football fields.
• Interest in Hughes Industrial Park — Interest in this area comes and goes. A 10 acre property
east of the park had been on the market and City Council reviewed with the landowner desired
roadway connections through the parcel at a past work session. The property has been purchased
by the owners of Best Outdoor Services which currently owns a lot nearby. In time they would
like to expand to this location but for now they are aware that the property is currently zoned
residential and would have to follow a process for any type of expansion. Staff met with the new
owners and they "bounced" some ideas off of staff. They are looking at ways to allow for outside
storage, continue to rent out the home and not have to build the roadway. Their current plans are to
continue to rent out the home.
ABC Mini-Storage/T-Squared (self -storage) — City Council approved a CUP for additional Mini -
storage on a portion of this lot. The buyers of the property had intended to expand the mini -storage.
The Building Department is working with the applicant on structural drawings for review. Water,
Sewer and site prep is completed. Due to the increase in materials and the timing of approval they
are waiting to start construction. Materials are expected to arrive in September and staff is working
with developing a construction schedule with them.
• Restaurants/Fast Food — Currently staff is aware of companies continuing to look for land to
locate in Andover.
• TCF Site —At this time the city is in receipt of two conditional use permit applications related to
having a drive through at this location. The current owner is looking at having two separate
buildings with their own drive through.
• Andover Crossings — The development is under construction.
• Taco Bell (Andover Crossings) — City staff has completed a Commercial Site Plan (CSP) for a
Taco Bell. The drive through has also received a Conditional Use Permit.
• Westgate Senior Living (Andover Crossings) — This is under construction.
• Aurora Vista (Andover Crossings) - This is under construction.
• Holasek Property (near City Hall) — Staff has been in contact by a multi -family housing
developer on this particular property. The multi -family developer has taken comments from the
City Council during a worksession and researching options available to add additional commercial
to the site. The developer held two neighborhood meetings that a staff member was present at.
SilverCrest completed the sketch plan review process and is evaluating the feedback provided for
future consideration of submissions.
Andover City Council approved a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, City Zoning Code
Amendment and rezoning of the parcel on August 4, 2022. The applicants will still need to pursue
a Planned Unit Development (PUD); Preliminary and Final Plat for the property.
• Housing — Developers are looking for additional land for future developments. Several developers
are trying to keep an inventory of lots, but are having difficulty in finding locations. Several sites
are being reviewed and looked at. In 2021 we had 140 new housing starts. So far this year we
have had 61 permits issued for new housing, 1 apartment (150 units), and an assisted living facility
(32 units).
• Fields of Winslow Cove — Trunk utility work is complete on the west side of Prairie Road and
utilities are currently being installed for Phase 1 on the east side of Prairie Road.
• Sheriff's Office — The City of Andover has received a Commercial Site Plan (CSP) for an
expansion of parking at the property. Plans are stamped by city staff with construction expected
soon.
• Anoka County 911 and Radio Building — This is currently in review for the Commercial Site
Plan (CSP), and the Andover Planning and Zoning Commission considered a Conditional Use
Permit for an additional fuel tank for the facility on August 10, 2022 with City Council
consideration on August 16, 2022.
• Bunker Lake Blvd. and Crosstown Reader Board Replacement —The replacement reader board
is in and working as expected.
• Overall marketing - City Staff continue to work with parties interested in investing in Andover
and marketing all commercial sites. Staff continues to work with the Anoka County Regional
Economic Development (ACRED) on marketing of the community and Anoka County.
