APPROVE RESOLUTION - REDEVELOPMENT PLAN/COMMUNITY CENTER PROJECT AREA Mr. Bednarz explained as the Andover Community Center Project proceeds forward the City Council has called upon the Andover Economic Development Authority (EDA) to provide lease revenue fmancing for the project. A requirement of the lease financing is a Redevelopment Plan and a review and comment to be done by the City of Andover Planning Commission. /) '--.' () U Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes - April]3, 2004 / - , ì Page 2 \._~ Commissioner Jasper stated he reviewed the report and he did not understand it. He wondered why the building is owned by the EDA and leased to the City. Mr. Brezinka stated he needed to get back to the Commission on this question. Commissioner Jasper stated he understood the redevelopment area for the Community Center but the land across the street has already been approved and there is no reason for tax increment or abatement to spur development there. Mr. Brezinka stated what they are trying to show is that the Community Center will affect all of the intersections. Mr. Bednarz stated there is no intent to provide any public subsidy or partnership according to the Finance Director. Mr. Bednarz stated one of the purposes is to demonstrate that the project is generating value in the surrounding neighborhood. Commissioner Greenwald asked if the developers were aware of this. Mr. Bednarz stated they were. The Commission discussed the fmdings and declarations and questioned if some of the properties will be partly funded by the City. Mr. Bednarz stated that without the Community Center, development on other comers surrounding the intersection may not /-- '\ occur. He stated the City is not intending to finance the surrounding properties. '-__J Mr. Bednarz stated he did not fully understand all of the subtext of the document and he could only give the Commission the information he had. He did not believe it was the Commission's job to question the fmancing tool that the Counci1ÆDA selected for this project; it is the Commission's purpose to review and comment on this Resolution. Commissioner Gamache did not think it was their job to question the means by which this will be fmanced but it is their job to question these parts they are questioning because staff is saying the money is going to fmance the Community Center and the document is saying the money is going for the Community Center, in:fÌastructure improvements, and some kind of tax deferred fmancing to help develop the development across the street and he did not know if that was something the residents would want. Mr. Bednarz stated the Commission could modify the Resolution that is in review to move it forward to the City Council. Commissioner Greenwald asked who drafted the Resolution. Mr. Brezinka stated it was written by Briggs and Morgan. Commissioner Greenwald questioned some of the wording in the Resolution. Mr. Bednarz stated they will not be able to do a step by step breakdown of the document. 0 The Commission continued to discuss wording in the Resolution regarding financing. - 0 0 Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes - April]3, 2004 .' '\ Page 3 I -'----/ Commissioner Jasper stated he cannot vote for something that the language seems to undercut what the intent is stated to be and that goes contrary to everything he understood about the development of this area and where some real basic questions cannot be answered. Commissioner Gamache agreed. Motion by Jasper, seconded by Gamache, to deny Resolution No. _, Concerning the Economic Development Authority of Andover, Minnesota's Redevelopment Project Area Proposal based on discussion. Commissioner Vatne stated he felt they needed more information in order to approve this. Motion carried on a 5-ayes, I-nays (Daninger), O-absent vote. Mr. Bednarz stated that this item would be before the Council at the April 20, 2004 City Council meeting. PUBLIC HEARING: RESIDENTIAL SKETCH PLAN FOR TOM BLOMBERG FOR PROPERTY LOCATED IN THE NORTHWEST QUARTER OF THE NORTHWEST QUARTER OF SECTION 36, TOWNSHIP 32, RANGE 24, ANOKA C_) COUNTY, MINNESOTA. Mr. Sevald explained that the Planning Commission is asked to review the sketch plan for Tom Blomberg. The applicant has proposed to subdivide the vacant I.2-acre rural residential lot into three urban residential lots. The property will need to be rezoned from R-I Single Family Rural Residential to R-4, Single Family Urban Residential, at the time the preliminary plat is approved. Mr. Sevald discussed the information with the Planning Commission. Commissioner Jasper asked if there was an existing structure on the property. Mr. Sevald stated there was not. Commissioner Gamache asked if the properties to the north of this development were urban lots. Mr. Sevald stated that was correct. Commissioner Vatne stated he was glad to see the watershed was addressed before the sketch plan went forward. He did not see any mention made in the information regarding a custom grading plan. Chairperson Daninger stated this is a sketch plan and that will be the next step. Commissioner Greenwald stated the developer saw the information from the Watershed C=) District, will they be able to answer questions. Mr. Sevald stated they may be able to. - ( , (J U Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes - April]3, 2004 / \ Page 4 ",,--_.I Motion by Gamache, seconded by Casey, to open the public hearing at 7:32 p.m. Motion carried on a 6-ayes, O-nays, I-absent (Kirchoff) vote. Mr. Brian Plueger, 745 I40th Lane, stated there is an undeveloped stretch ofland he owns up to this development and he plans to eventually sell the land and if the wetland is moved to the east, it will be in his woods and he will have to pay to have the wetlands taken care of at a later date. Mr. Sevald stated the mitigation of the wetland area should not affect negatively on the surrounding properties. Ms. Pam Caps, 798 141 st Avenue NW, stated she thought it was interesting that the Commission thought just approaching the Watershed District was great. The Watershed District is in serious disagreement with the facts the developer has presented to them. She stated that they disagree with the mapping of the wetlands, the square footage of the dig, the viability of the soil in the dig area to sustain wetland. She stated insufficient soil borings have been done to answer any and all questions they may have. She stated the Watershed District was not convinced the adjoining property owners were notified prior to soil borings and disputed staking of the wetland. She explained they were not notified. There are questions of mitigating property and impacting property values negatively. She did not think the rules have not totally been followed, people have not been notified and there are items in dispute. She stated there is standing water out there and it is deep and it \ goes beyond the properties that are mapped. , '. .J Ms. Melissa Mills, 784 141 st Avenue NW, stated her entire property is to the north of the wetland and she was interested in the statement that the wetland will not affect any of the surrounding property negatively. She explained that her backyard is the low point except in the very middle and much of the spring her yard is under water. She noted that anything that is going to fill in south of her yard will fill her yard with more water. When she bought her house she was told the land behind her property would never be built on because it was a protected area and used for drainage and that there would never be any building on the-land because the wetland could never be changed and now she has heard that it is alright to move the wetland. She stated she cannot see how filling in and taking down all of the trees will not affect her property. She would like a guarantee that this will not be a problem and become even worse than it already is. Mr. Bill Loja, 752 I 40th Lane, asked for clarification on the property behind the wetland area. He wondered how much deforestation can be done on a piece ofland. Mr. Bednarz stated the City does not have a specific requirement on the number of trees that needed to be saved. Mr. Paul Gray, 772 141 st Avenue NW) stated his concern is the water problems on their lawns. His concern is if the property is changed, the berm behind his property may riot control the water and it may come over. '\ Motion by Vatne, seconded by Gamache, to close the public hearing at 7:46 p.m. Motion \ I .. carried on a 6-ayes, O-nays, I-absent (Kirchoff) vote. (J U Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes - April]3, 2004 Page 5 / Commissioner Gamache stated the concerns they have heard and the letter they received, everything hinges on this wetland and what Coon Creek will allow the developer to do with this piece of land. Whatever the developer fills in, they have to replace what they remove so it should not disturb what is going on now and if Coon Creek lets them do this, it will alleviate some of the problems on the residents land now. Commissioner Greenwald asked if this is a designated drainage lot. He wondered if he should abstain because this is his neighborhood. He stated he has a designated drainage lot behind his house. Mr. Sevald stated he did not think there was currently a drainage easement on this property. Commissioner Greenwald thought when the homes were built; there was no consideration for drainage. He wondered if there was enough area on that lot to be a wetland. He thought there needed to be a lot of due diligence done. The sketch of the area was shown and discussion ensued regarding how the wetland is laid out and how it should be corrected. Mr. Bednarz explained there was a review letter from the Coon Creek Watershed District -. , and it stated nine items that this proposal is deficient on and staffhad the developer " ¡ approach the District before it came to the Commission to see if it was even within the realm of possibility that the wetland could be altered in the way it was proposed by the developer. He stated the answer is it can but there are a lot of issues that need to be addressed in the design of the mitigation area. All of these items will need to be addressed to the satisfaction of the CCWMO before the plat can move forward. Commissioner Greenwald thought this area was a natural designated drainage area. Commissioner Gamache stated it is a natural wetland, not drainage area. Mr. Bednarz concurred and stated there is also storm sewer collecting drainage from the rear yards of this development and storm sewer collecting drainage from 140ih Lane NW. Commissioner Greenwald asked who will determine how much wetland there will be. It was noted Coon Creek Watershed District would determine that. Commissioner Jasper stated a lot split in the neighborhood is not out of the type of neighborhood it is in and the lot is going to be bigger still than the lots directly behind it and the configuration of the lots comply with all of their guidelines and regulations so he does not have a problem with that but he does have a problem with the drainage of the water and the Coon Creek letter did say that adjacent property owners will be affected by changes in the drainage so they are the experts on the water and it would seem to him that the information for the developer is they have to work with the district to solve the problems with the water and he thought there will have to be some drainage easements in '\ order to correct the problem. '. - ~ 0 U Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes - April]3. 2004 ~J Page 6 Chairperson Daninger summarized the concerns of the residents and Commissioners. Mr. Bednarz stated that this item would be before the Council at the May 4, 2004 City Council meeting. PUBLIC HEARING: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT (03-09) TO EXTEND THE METROPOLITAN URBAN SERVICE BOUNDARY (MUSA) TO lNCLUDEPROPERTIES LOCATED AT 1341 AND 1433161sT A VENUE NW. Mr. Bednarz explained that the applicant is requesting a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to extend the Municipal Urban Service Boundary (MUS A) to include the subject property. The applicant is also requesting that the property be guided for the current stage of sewer expansion (2000-2005). The Commission and Council may wish to consider including 1177 161 st Avenue NW in the MUSA adjustment, if the owner is interested, to prevent a rural property from being surrounded by the MUSA Boundary. Mr. Bednarz discussed the information with the Planning Commission. Ü Commissioner Gamache stated in the eighty-five, he saw the two properties were include that are not being included in the extension of the MUSA boundary, do they still need to save some sewer for those two properties. Mr. Bednarz stated the eighty-five units include the two properties. Commissioner Jasper asked if the owner of 1177 161 st Avenue NW was interested in being included. The owner stated he was. Commissioner Gamache asked what format has been used up to this point to allocate the 185 sewer connections. Mr. Bednarz stated the property owner at 110 I 161 st A venue that was allocated 100 units was the largest of any property in that area of the Rural Reserve and that played a factor in the Council's decision to give them 100 of the 185 units. Discussion ensued in regards to how the eighty-five units should be allocated and whether there is enough room for future expansion. It was noted two property owners submitted letters regarding this issue and there was also a memorandum from the City Engineer regarding the sewer capacity of this area. Motion by Greenwald, seconded by Gamache, to open the public hearing at 8:11 p.m. Motion carried on a 6-ayes, O-nays, I-absent (Kirchoff) vote. C_) Mr. Winslow Holasek, 1159 Andover Boulevard, read a letter to the Commission and showed the attachments to the letter. (See attached). u Ü Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes - April]3, 2004 " ') Page 7 , ---./ Mr. John Swisher, 1433 161 st Avenue NW, stated he is one of the affected property owners. He read his letter to the Commission stating his concerns. Mr. Rick Davis, 1177 16lst A venue, stated he is interested in having his property included in the MUSA. He stated the sketch plan of Pentagon Properties shows his property with three and he spoke with Mr. Bednarz expressing his concern that he would like to have four units applied to his property and with the intent that they may be able to get some boundary adjustments from Pentagon Holdings to accommodate a fourth unit. Mr. Steve Olmscheid, 1487 161 st, stated his concern was because there were only so may being allocated, that they are given out fairly to everyone. He wondered what the process was. Chairperson Daninger stated there is a sewer study being done now, which will guide them. Mr. Swisher explained the steps they took to develop their property. Mr. Larry Emmerich, 1241 16lst Avenue, stated he is the majority landowner on this request. He stated they did this sketch plan at the request of the City Council. 0 Mr. Keith Rischer, 16157 Hanson Boulevard, explained his letter to the Commission and explained their position on developing their property. Motion by Vatne, seconded by Gamache, to close the public hearing at 8:56 p.m. Motion carried on a 6-ayes, O-nays, I-absent (Kirchoff) vote. Mr. Bednarz summarized the item with the Commission. Commissioner Jasper asked if the sewer study changed. Mr. Bednarz stated the consultant that prepared the study is confident that the area can be served with the number of units that were designated as a part of the Rural Reserve, but they are not confident that any more can be provided. Commissioner Jasper stated he did not understand some parts of the study where it states the sewer system is running at 182 percent capacity which can not be correct. Mr. Bednarz stated this assumed full development of Mr. Holasek's property. If development were to occur in a given scenario with existing trunk lines. The engineering challenge is how to develop the area with other connections and adding more pipes. That is what is being worked on. The sewer study formulates alternatives on how to address that. Commissioner Greenwald did not think they could pass this on to the City Council with their approval until they get additional information from the sewer study because he did not know if the sewer would allow the additional 85 units. 0 Discussion continued in regards to the sewer system and what it could handle. 0 Ü Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes - April]3, 2004 Page 8 '\ '.,J Commissioner Greenwald stated he cannot approve this until they get a more thorough sewer study to the north of 161 st. Commissioner Casey agreed. Commissioner Jasper stated the City Council has already looked at this and they are aware of the sewer capacity and they indicated they would allocate 85 lots to these five properties bringing them into the MUSA. It seems that because there is capacity with the i current configuration, that decision has been made. That approving moving these into the . , MUSA is alright. Allocating the lots is another matter because he did not know how to allocate them between the lots. Commissioner Greenwald stated he could agree with him if they were assured it would work at full development. Commissioner Vatne stated the dilemma is if they approve this with the two properties going into the MUSA, by default they are approving a number of sewer capacity that would leave the remaining acreages at a disadvantaged number that is left or a less than equitable number that is left. Commissioner Jasper asked if this were to go to the MET Council, would they need a lot count before they will consider a MUSA change. Mr. Bednarz stated they would not. Commissioner Greenwald asked once the property is in the MUSA, are they not allowed ; (~) to do sewer and septic. Mr. Bednarz stated this was correct. Commissioner Greenwald asked if they could develop the property with sewer and septic if it never got added to the MUSA. Mr. Bednarz stated at this point, the answer is no because there are restrictions on the Rural Reserve that don't allow subdividing the property with out City sewer and water. Discussion ensued in regards to how the motion should be made. Motion by Gamache, seconded by Jasper, to recommend to the City Council approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to allow expansion of the MUSA boundary and adjustment of the sewer staging plan adding the property 1177 161 st A venue to the Resolution and striking from number one and number two, the number of properties and adding a third paragraph including the added property. Commissioner Vatne stated his concern is there are two other property owners. Commissioner Gamache stated they need to take action only on the properties that have applied. He stated he is going by staff's findings in his motion. Commissioner Vatne asked if they could include all five properties and add them to the MUSA. Mr. Bednarz stated they have a property owner at the meeting who does not want to be included in the MUSA. 0 Commissioner Gamache asked if the property owner at 1177 161 st A venue filed the paper work and paid fees. Mr. Bednarz stated he did not. Commissioner Gamache stated - u () Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes - April]3, 2004 , Page 9 ; \ '-~ the reason he added the property to the Resolution was because he thought he filed paper work. Commissioner Jasper asked if there would be problems including 1177 161 st Avenue without a public notice. Mr. Bednarz stated he did not think so because the public notice was sent to the surrounding neighborhood. Commissioner Gamache stated he would like to continue with the motion because the staff report recommended it and it made sense to include this property. Commissioner Greenwald stated he cannot go along with this because he felt they would be leaving someone out of this. If the sewer study came back verifying this, he would go along with it. Commissioner Vatne stated principally he is ok with this but he would prefer to include all interested properties in this or just the two. Chairperson Daninger stated he preferred only including just the two properties. The property owner at 1177 161 st Avenue stated he talked with Mr. Bednarz and he was not told there would be a fee but he would be willing to pay a fee if needed. ': Motion failed on a 3-ayes, 3-nays (Greenwald, Vatne, and Daninger), I-absent vote \ ."/ (Kirchoff). Commissioner V atne stated this is at a stage that as it goes to Council, it sounds like they are close to getting all five parcels included in this. Chairperson Daninger stated if the parcel at 1177 161 st was not included in the motion, his vote would be favorable for this. Commissioner Jasper stated they should allocate the capacity according to buildability and he suggested the five properties get together and do this together. Mr. Bednarz stated that this item would be before the Council at the April 20, 2004 City Council meeting. WORK SESSION: Commissioner Greenwald suggested tabling the following Work Session items to another meeting because they would take time to discuss. Commissioner Gamache agreed. Motion by Greenwald, seconded by Gamache to table Item Six to another meeting. \ \ Motion carried on a 6-ayes, O-nays, I-absent (Kirchoff) vote. 'J Regular Andover Plannr:;and Zoning Commission Meeting Ü Minutes - April]3, 2004 Page 10 : A. Planned Unit Development Ordinance Mr. Bednarz stated the City Planning staffhave reviewed the Planned Unit Development ordinance and found that it is inadequate for use in reviewing new requests for a Planned Unit Development approval. B. Temporary Structures Mr. Bednarz stated On February 24, 2004, the City Council reviewed information that was provided to them regarding "temporary buildings". Council directed that the staff prepare criteria that would regulate them. In reviewing what could be done to establish some type of performance criteria, staff thought that the standard for temporary buildings should include duration of how long they may stay on a given property, materials that they may be made of, lighting and landscaping, covered walkways to main building and location where they may be placed on a site. C. Parking Lot Lighting Mr. Sevald explained City Code 12-14-10 D.8. requires parking lots to be illuminated a minimum of one footcandle as measured at ground level. With the intent of limiting light pollution, Staff is proposing to modify the existing city code in accordance with .-----.. recommendations from the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA). \ \ j D. Comprehensive Plan Update Mr. Cross stated the Transportation element of the Comprehensive Plan recommends grade separated crossings at 4 public street railroad crossings within the City. Based on a recent City Council decision, this list should be reviewed and consider reducing the number of crossings on it. Mr. Cross stated prohibiting driveways on all collector streets per Chapter 11-3-2 of the City Code is not practical given the wide range of subdivision designs and topography in Andover. While it makes sense to prohibit them on busy, high-capacity streets, lots should be allowed to put driveways on streets that are considered collector streets because of their function in the City's road system and not because of their high traffic count. Changing the Transportation Plan's definition to include two different classes of Collector Streets will solve this problem. OTHER BUSINESS.

Comphensive Plan Amendm.ent (03-09) to extend ~SA Boundry The Bluebird sanitary sewer trunk is currently the only trunk sewer to serve this area. In your background material for the above item, it states a sewer study conduct~d last year shows the Bluèbird trunk can serve 88 acres of urban developement or 185 units on the north side of 161 st A venue NW. C) This sewer study was conducted by WSB & Associates in November of -' 2003. A sewer study has since been done by TKDA dated March 25, 2004 that directly contradicts tills statement. Page 12, Table 3 of TKDA' s sewer analysis report dated March 25, 2004 shows the percent of theoretical maximum capacity of the 12" BLUEBIRD TRUNK(the 150th lane section) TO BE 182% OVER LOADED.and the 15" BLUEBIRD TRUNK TO BE 126% OVERLOADED. Encluded is a copy of this page 12 of TKDA's report with the 12" and 15" Bluebird trunk illghlighted to confinn the percentage we listed above. (see attachment No. 1) - These percentages of overloading are probably even worse than the 182% and 126 % shown in TKDA"s report, because they failed to list all the current units being served by the 12" Bluebird trunk (th~ 150th Lane section.). On page 5 Table 3 of TKDA's report it shows a total of only 671 . units being served by the 12" Bluebird trunk. Enclosed is a copy ofpàge 12, Table 3 of TKDA's report with the total number of 671 units highlighted that TKDA has listed as currently being served by the 12" Bluebird trunk. (See attachment No.2) (j- I - - - r-- u -) lJ / '\ . '----/ However TKDA missed listing 181 units currently being served by the Bluebird 12" trunk north of Crosstown Blvd. So the total number of units currently being served by the 12" Bluebird trunk is really 852 units instead of the 671 TKDA has listed in their report. We obtained the number of units TKDA missed with the help of Andover Community Development Director Will Nuemeister and City Engineer Dave Berkowitz in a meeting we had with them. We sincerely thank them for their help on this. Enclosed is a list of the 181 units TKDA missed that we gave to both Mr. Neumeister and Mr. Berkowitz on April 2, 2004 tq confirm it for accuracy. (see attachment No. 3) When Bluebird trunk sewer was built from 1987 through 1993 it was designed and sized as a gravity sewer system. because it was Andover's policy never to have any lift stations or force fed sewer system's in the city. So when there was a series of lift stations built to extend the Bluebird trunk way beyond its gravity range to 161st and even east of the BNSF '. Railroad track to Crosstown Blvd, it should be no surprise to anyone that it would be seriously overloaded for what it was designed for. '\ As a co~equence of extending its range by the use of a series of lift stations, \ j - the 12" Bluebird trunk off the east end of 150th Lane no longer has the capacity left to serve the area it was supposed to serve. On page 2 of TKDA's March 25, 2004 sewer report it says according to Andover's sanitary sewer comprehensive plan that the 150th Lane trunk is to be one of the four trunk extensions to serve the 1,000 acres of the rural land east of Hanson Blvd. Specifically extending a central trunk line off the east end of 150th Lane to serve the property to the east and northeast across the BNSF railway east to Prairie Road. The rest of our'property to develop along with several other land owners is part of this area. Enclosed is a copy of this P?lge 2 of TKDA's report with the 150th trunk line extension highlighted. (see attachment No.4) This 12" Bluebird 150th Lane trunk sewer stub is a thirty foot deep gravity trunk line that should have its capacity restored because it is the most economical and efficient way to serve the area, as it would not require any lift stations. Also costs to build other trunks to serve this 150th Lane sewer stub area are estimated to cost approximately three million dollars . ($3,000,000.00). Also these new trunks would go through areas that are " '\ either already servered by city sewer or big lot R-l areas with private \,-j systems, neither of which would require sewer services, so you would be building a lot of expensive trunk sewer that wouldn't need to be built. - I 0 C) , I At the last -city council meeting on April 6, 2004 the city council extended the contract with TKDA to do an additional study of Andover's sewer system to see if a way can be found to bypass some of the many units north of Crosstown Blvd. that currently drain into the overloaded 1~" Bluebird trunk:. Weare not opposed to Andover extending the MUSA boundry to anybody who wants it, as long as there is adaquate trunk sewer capacity to handle it . However the area you are considering to extend in this particular MUSA boundary to tonight, would drain into the 12" Bluebird trunk: which is already at 182% + of its theoretical. maximum capacity. Therefore it would seem very unwise and premature to make any decision to extend MUSA to any area that would drain into the 12"Bluebird trunk: until TKDA completes their current study to see if an alternate cali be found to alleviate the bluebird trunk overloading problem. So we ask you not to compound the overloading problem of the 12" Bluebird \ I trunk: by recommending the approval of any additional MUSA areas to drain into it until a solution can be found to relieve the overloading problem. Thank you fot your consideration. Sincerely, LJ~J:::rk, Cvu~ . Winslow and Corinne Holasek , , ) I
