PUBLIC HEARING: LOT SPLIT (04-03) TO RE-ESTABLISH TWO RURAL RESIDENTIAL LOTS AT 2043 158TH A VENUE N. fv. Mr. Bednarz explained that the applicant is seeking to re-establish a property line between two previously combined urban residential lots (Lots I and 2, Block I of Nightingale Preserve). A house exists on lot 2. The proposed lot split would allow a second home to be constructed on lot 1. Mr. Bednarz explained Nightingale Preserve was created with a Planned Unit Development (p.U.D). This approval allowed lots to be created at less than the minimum 2.5-acre size, provided private open spaces were created so that the final density of the 0 development was one lot per 2.5 acres. The lots would be split along the original U /- '\ U Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes - June 22, 2004 Page 2 (,J property lines, so both lots would meet all size, setback, easement, access, park dedication, and utility specifications approved when the property was originally platted. Commissioner Kirchoff asked if this was at one time a rural P.U.D. Mr. Bednarz stated it was. Motion by Gamache, seconded by Kirchoff, to open the public hearing at 7:04 p.m. Motion carried on as-ayes, O-nays, 2-absent (Jasper and Vatne) vote. Mr. John McKelvey, 2043 158th Avenue NW, stated this was set up as a P.U.D. ! approximately six years ago and each lot is smaller than the 2 Y:z acres but it was done this way to keep seventeen acres of open land in the center of the project. There are eleven lots and all of the eleven lots own the seventeen acres. He stated five years ago, he combined them for tax purposes and he is putting them up for sale and would like them split again. , Motion by Greenwald, seconded by Gamache, to close the public hearing at 7:06 p.m. Motion carried on as-ayes, O-nays, 2-absent (Jasper and Vatne) vote. Motion by Gamache, seconded by Greenwald, to recommend to the City Council approval of Resolution No. _, approving the lot split.

Mr. Bednarz stated that this item would be before the Council at the July 6, 2004 City Council meeting. i WORK SESSION: SEWER STUDY AND SEWER STAGING. Mr. Bednarz explained staff and the consulting fIrm of Toltz, King, Duvall & Anderson (TKDA) have been working on the sanitary sewer study to serve the undeveloped area on the east side of Andover, which will assist in revising the sewer staging plan in the City's Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Berkowitz stated the City Council approved the sewer study and recommendations presented in the "Alternative Sanitary Sewer Trunk Extension Report" prepared by TKDA and City Staff. The recommendation is to construct a by-pass lift station at Yellow Pine Street NW and Crosstown Boulevard NW, which is referred to as the Yellow Pine Alternative. Mr. Berkowitz explained the report extensively reviewed several alternatives in serving sanitary sewer to the remaining non-developed land east of Hanson Boulevard NW that is within the existing MUSA boundary. As alternatives were researched, it was determined Ü that in the future there are potential bottleneck or capacity issues in the sewer system at full development. By constructing a by-pass lift station at Yellow Pine Street NW and - ü Ü Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes - June 22, 2004 Page 3 ~ ) diverting the flow to the Pine Wood Trunk which is west of Hanson Boulevard NW, additional sewer capacity is available to serve all the remaining developable acres within the MUSA boundary. This option utilizes excess capacity in underdeveloped trunk lines and alleviates the sewer line which would be over capacitated. Mr. Berkowitz noted the Yellow Pine Alternative is a cost effective alternative that will utilize system capacities to the full extent. This alternative also allows for flexibility to accommodate reasonable density and timing of new development. The next stage is to revise the sanitary sewer staging plan as part of a Comprehensive Plan amendment. Commissioner Kirchoff stated earlier this spring there was a gentleman in the audience that stated there were some miscalculations referring to property along 161 st. He wondered if this study resolved the issue. Mr. Berkowitz stated through the report, there was some question about how numbers were calculated and determined and they went through that extensively to make sure that they were conservative with the report. He stated they did address that. Chairperson Daninger asked why they decided on the Yellow pine lift station instead of another one. Mr. Berkowitz stated they looked at several options and this option worked out the best. He stated the main reason was flexibility and feasibility. " - ') Commissioner Gamache asked if putting the Yellow pine lift station in affect the \" -~ neighborhoods at all in the area. Mr. Berkowitz stated in that location, they would be utilizing that space. They would do everything they could to install a sound barrier and help it fit into the neighborhood and be aesthetically pleasing. Commissioner Greenwald asked how this will get paid. Mr. Berkowitz stated they have sewer area and sewer connection charges that will pay for this. He noted all the new development will fund this. Commissioner Kirchoff noted that he got the impression that the report was good. Mr. Berkowitz stated this was a reasonable solution so they can ensure that they do not have capacity issues in the future. He noted they will be purchasing a flow meter so they can anticipate increased flow per City Council request. Mr. Berkowitz noted the by-pass lift station would not be construction until the area starts to develop. Commissioner Gamache stated he saw a proposed trunk line, a ten inch force main, going right through Clock Tower Commons and he assumed that would be laid in the ground as construction moves forward. Mr. Berkowitz stated they would use clliectional drilling for the force main pipe. It would not need to be dug up. , I (J u U Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes - June 22, 2004 Page 4 / Commissioner Greenwald asked about the timing and if the amount was a reasonable number or did they anticipate this price going up. Mr. Berkowitz stated they increase the price typically by inflation. Commissioner Kirchoff asked what the 2.58 million dollars included. He wondered if this would be for the entire project and if they would bond this out and then start charging back. Mr. Berkowitz stated the lift station bypass would probably be constructed as one project. He stated the 2.58 million would be for the lift station but would also include a trunk line that would run up Crosstown Boulevard. Mr. Bednarz stated they will be having neighborhood meetings regarding this issue. Commissioner Kirchoff thought this will be helpful as they move forward. OTHER BUSINESS. Mr. Bednarz updated the Planning Commission on related items. Commissioner Kirchoff mentioned there was a mailing that went out recently regarding the water quality and he understood by the letter that it would take approximately one year for the water to get to the best quality. Mr. Berkowitz stated this was a statement they put out there becauSe the experts say that it takes about a year once the water treatment plant is online to clean out all of the pipes and sediment that has accumulated. He stated they saw a drastic change within the fIrst two months but they will continue to monitor and clean the water. ; ! Commissioner Kirchoff asked if there was a decision made on the property at 133rd. Mr. i Bednarz stated the motion to approve failed in the City Council so the Council directed staff to prepare a resolution of denial and will be reviewed at the July 6, 2004 City Council meeting. He stated this item will not be seen by the Planning Commission unless the applicant changes the plat. ADJOURNMENT.
